Cú Chulainn picked his teeth smugly with a toothpick, his face full of disdain.

"Why do you think I'm so arrogant? It's just because the old man is around, isn't it?"

"Isn't this what they call 'the fox borrowing the tiger's power'?"

Red A said indifferently.

"Whee."

Cú Chulainn squinted and said with a grin, "Hey, Archer."

What are you doing?

Red A rolled his eyes at this guy.

Cú Chulainn put his arm around Red A's shoulder and pointed at the television screen.

Red A immediately spotted his own "Shirou Emiya- esque" smile.

"Smile, Archer," Cú Chulainn urged. "Just smile, okay?"

Red A didn't say anything, but turned his head to the other side.

"Just smile, please!"

Cú Chulainn's mouth was practically stretched to the back of his head as he frantically danced flamenco steps, teetering on the edge of death.

Red A clenched his fist, but remained silent.

[Don't get angry, absolutely don't get angry.]

Red A knows very well that this Doggy dares to be so naughty now only because Grandpa Li is around.

He might gain an advantage verbally, and it doesn't matter what he says, but once it comes to a fight, Master Li will take him away with one punch.

This was the order that Shinji Matou gave to Master Li.

Gilgamesh is now lying on the ground convulsing like a dead frog, is the best example.

Seeing that the other party was ignoring him, Cú Chulainn became even more arrogant.

"Finally, I beat those bastards!"

Cú Chulainn swung his fist forcefully.

Yan Qing remained silent, not thinking that using such a coercive method to turn the tide was a good idea.

Li Shuwen couldn't protect him forever, especially since Old Master Li was protecting the company, not Cú Chulainn himself.

Little Yi Ge had already anticipated that once they arrived on set, Gilgamesh and Red A would come up with all sorts of bizarre ways to mess with Cú Chulainn.

However, seeing Cú Chulainn's satisfied expression, Yan Qing decided to bury this matter deep in his heart.

[I don't want to watch a dog in Les Misérables.]

Little Yi Ge's lips curled slightly into a smile.

Chapter 129 The Three Idiot Heroic Spirit Cause Trouble at Type-Moon Company

Accompanied by melodious music, UBW has finally come to an end.

Unlike the various discussions that took place during the broadcast, Aoko lay down on the sofa immediately after the episode ended.

After watching the entire season, at the moment when Shirou and Rin held hands under the Britain sunset at the end of the series, Aoko, who felt she had completed a difficult mission, felt a kind of emptiness after exchanging bodily fluids.

"Ah~~ It's finally over."

Aoko lay lazily on the sofa, saying listlessly, "But what am I going to do to make a living? Grandpa's got it really boring~"

Touko pushed up her glasses. "Why don't you just move out like me? That way, you'll have more options and things will be easier for you."

"In that case... Grandpa will truly be all alone," Aoko replied slowly. "He'll be even more pitiful."

Touko said coldly, "I don't care if that old geezer is pitiful or not."

Aoko didn't answer, but turned over and pretended she hadn't heard anything.

If I were to discuss Grandpa with my sister, it would definitely end in a bad mood.

So whenever her father-in-law was mentioned, Aoko wisely chose to keep quiet.

"Mr. Matou's next work should be Heaven's Feel (HF), the last part of the FSN trilogy, right?"

Azu sat up excitedly at Aoko's words.

"Is this the third season of FSN? When will it air?"

Touko bluntly stated, "Unfortunately, that's Restricted rating film/TV series; in Japan, it will only be released as an OV (Official Video)."

"Damn! If OV is releasing, does that mean it's still a long way off?"

Aoko let out a sigh and lay back down.

Azu added, "However, it will be broadcast on HBO in North America."

Aoko sat up again. "That's great, my English is top-notch."

"But HBO's broadcast time is in the second half of the year," Touko delivered her second blow.

"Tsk."

Aoko lay down again.

Azu glanced at Aoko, then asked Touko, "Has Matou-san's new movie started filming yet?"

"Yes."

"What?! A new movie starring the Matou Family?!"

Aoko sat up again, asking excitedly.

Touko nodded. "Filming has started, but the release might not be until next year. The film uses new technology, so production isn't as convenient."

Actually, the film itself wasn't particularly complicated to make, but promoting 3D without glasses screens takes time, so the Second Master deliberately slowed down the film's production speed in order to have more new screens.

"Your mother!"

Aoko lay back down after being stabbed a third time.

[You did this on purpose, didn't you?]

Touko gave Azu a look.

[Of course, don't you think her sit-ups, going up and down, are adorable?]

Azu secretly gave Touko a thumbs up.

Touko would never admit that Azu made sense, absolutely not!

"Alright, now that the TV series is over, shall we change the channel...?"

Touko was about to touch the remote control when Azu stopped her.

"Wait, there seems to have been some announcement after UBW ended, something related to Mr. Matou's new movie."

"Announcement?"

Touko was taken aback at first, then suddenly realized and said, "That's nothing, you don't need to look at it at all."

Azu shook her head. "We'll have to see for ourselves. And no spoilers, you mole."

Touko Azu and said in a pitiful tone, "Your words really hurt me. I need a hug to feel better."

Lying on the sofa, Aoko said disdainfully, "You're already middle-aged... Ouch! That hurts!"

Touko calmly withdrew her fist and lit a cigarette.

Since she didn't know what to watch even if she changed the channel, Touko just went along with Azu's idea.

However, for her, an employee who already knew what the announcement was, waiting for such a known announcement meant she had absolutely no expectations.

Soon, after the UBW ending theme ended, the announcement that Azu been waiting for finally arrived.

[Shinji Matou's Director film is now accepting submissions for dialogue!]

Shinji's handsome face appeared on the television screen, along with a large slogan.

Meanwhile, the background of the screen is randomly playing various famous scenes from Ultraman's Showa Four Elders and Heisei Ultraman Trilogy.

What Azu was naturally interested in was the officially announced "Movie Dialogue Competition" event.

For the commemorative work of the Ultraman series, "Ultraman Mebius," Tsuburaya Productions officially asked fans to choose classic lines for the characters in the movie.

The ultimate winner will not only receive an official prize, but their chosen line will also appear in a movie or TV series.

If multiple audience members write the same line, then a few lucky audience members will be randomly selected to receive prizes.

"Ultraman's classic lines..." Aoko rolled her eyes. "I watched a few episodes when I was little, but I don't really remember them... Hey, Azu, what are you doing?"

Aoko was very curious about Azu, who was writing something in a small notebook.

"Classic lines from the Ultraman series," Azu said without looking up. "I plan to write down all the lines I know and send them out. Maybe I'll win a collector's edition DVD signed by Mr. Matou."

"Azu, you've actually watched Ultraman?!"

Aoko propped herself up and stared wide-eyed.

"I just added it recently."

Azu smiled slightly, "After all, it's a childhood classic by Matou-san, how could I not go and see it?"

"And then what? You think it's childish after watching it?"

To everyone's surprise Azu shook her head slightly. "Although it's a children's film and lacks depth in many aspects, the special effects are quite good for a TV series. Plus, it has action and emotional moments, making it a pretty good series overall."

"Not to mention the profound themes. Although there are many admirable human qualities, the majority of the characters in the show are courting death in various ways, which made me deeply aware of the inherent flaws of humanity."

[That makes so much sense, I don't even know what to say.]

At first glance, Azu's answer seemed far-fetched, but after thinking about it carefully, Aoko realized that it was actually true.

"No wonder it was Mr. Matou's favorite TV series when he was a child; it's so much better than those simplistic, sentimental love stories." Azu was still indulging in self-admiration. "I can understand why Mr. Matou treasures his Ultraman toys."

[No, no, no, that kid didn't buy a single Ultraman toy.]

As a core member of Shinji's production team, Touko naturally knew that Shinji's childhood favorite toy was just a publicity stunt.

But considering that the other party is now her boss, Touko still chose to keep it a secret to protect his image.

Furthermore, Touko also felt that Shinji's attitude towards Ultraman was very strange.

Although the stories behind the childhood toys were made up for promotional purposes, Shinji really knows a lot about Ultraman. He can not only talk about the settings in great detail, but he also laughs like a 10-year-old child every time he films.

[My junior's attitude towards this series makes me wonder if he's schizophrenic.]

Thinking about the inside story of this event, Touko couldn't help but silently complain to herself.

In fact, the scripts and lines for the movie and TV series had already been finalized. Shinji's decision to hold this event and air it during prime time was purely to ignite the enthusiasm of his fans.

After all, there are only a few classic lines from the Ultraman series, so someone will definitely choose a line from the script. We can just draw a prize then.

This gives fans the illusion that they participated in the creation of the film.

It satisfied the fans while achieving the desired promotional effect—a perfect double win.

[Hopefully, the lines chosen by the Azu will be selected...]

Recalling Shinji's constipated expression when he designed this event, Touko always felt that her junior was up to something.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

"Sigh, if we couldn't include Chinese translations of jokes in this event, it would lose half the fun."

On set, Shinji sat with his legs crossed, complaining.

"Why don't I just write the Chinese version dialogue myself? I can just add things like 'Thank you, Ultraman Taro,' 'Invincible Zoffy has fallen,' 'Ultraman lost to Zetti,' and so on."

Who understands what you're saying?

When Chloe, who happened to be walking onto the set, heard Shinji muttering to himself, a few beads of cold sweat appeared on her face.

Of course, Chloe's embarrassment wasn't solely due to Shinji saying things she couldn't understand, but also to her speechlessness at the three guys hanging from the beams on set.

If it weren't for the distinct hair colors of the three people hanging up, she wouldn't have recognized them as Gilgamesh (Red A), and Cú Chulainn.

Because these three Heroic Spirit were completely bound by thick iron chains, with only their heads exposed, and their faces were swollen as if they had been stung by thousands of wasps, the kind that even their own mothers wouldn't recognize. No wonder Chloe had to rely on their hair color to tell them apart.
