Shinji: I Love Picking on Little Girls

This has become standard knowledge in Japanese anime, and most of these characters are even red-blue pairings.

For this reason, Shinji was even specifically teased by Rin.

"You don't have some kind of special preference for red and blue, do you?"

After all, ever since FSN, Shinji has had a particular fondness for the red and blue color scheme.

The main female character of FSN, Artoria, is blue, while the second female character Tohsaka Rin, is red.

Although Shinji darkened the colors in Fate/Zero, Gilgamesh, the heroine Artoria's nemesis, has a color that, besides the gold he wears like Saber, is red.

In this episode of <Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya>, since Artoria couldn't appear, Shinji specifically brought in Tohsaka Rin's arch-rival Luviya, to create a Witch pairing for her...

If this isn't a morbid obsession, what is it?

Chapter 192 Shinji: I love bullying little girls the most!

"No, I don't have any morbid obsession with red and blue. It's just that this contrasting warm and cool color scheme happens to suit the character's personality."

Shinji explained to Rin, "Because the color difference between red and blue is so great, viewers can distinguish them at a glance, so anyone with even a little design knowledge would choose red and blue."

"Look, doesn't that little actress, Tono Akiha, who plays Miyu, like to wear red clothes?"

"Oh... really? But when she plays Miyu, you'll have her wear blue, right?"

Rin drawled out her words, clearly not believing Shinji's explanation.

"Look, didn't I design the two teams to be red and black respectively in the FA design?" Shinji reminded him, "How can you say I'm a red and blue fanatic?"

That makes sense.

Rin nodded, then retorted, "Wait a minute, isn't Vlad III, the main character of the Black Faction, also blue?"

"That's just because the Grand Duke's Spirit Origin core color is blue; I myself didn't do anything!"

"... You make a good point."

Rin nodded, then rolled her eyes at Shinji.

"But I still think you're a red/blue color fanatic!"

"I was so stupid... to even discuss this with you."

Shinji shrugged helplessly. "Since you're so insistent, Rin, let's try on your maid outfit. I'll specifically choose a blue one."

"Shinji, you're really petty."

"Likewise, after all, you are Tohsaka Rin."

Shinji's words made the girl's face blush slightly.

"Going against you is my most relaxing form of entertainment outside of work."

"Caution!! Two!!"

Rin's emotion disappeared instantly.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

After that, how Shinji survived the rage of Rin is irrelevant to the current filming.

Currently, Miyu, played by Tono Akiha, is collecting Rider's cards.

She first pulled the Lancer card from the card holder on her thigh and placed it on her blue wand.

"Class Card [Lancer], Limited Deployment!"

The prop magic wand was taken away and replaced with a red spear off-camera.

Then, the girl in blue rushed towards Rider, who was in a near-Alter state.

"Pierce - the Gae Bolg!"

The red spear pierced through Rider's body in an instant.

"Cut!"

Shinji used a megaphone to shout "Stop!"

"Sister Akiha, something's not right with your feeling!"

Shinji scratched his head and said, "Miyu's character doesn't have many emotions in the early stages, so while you're shouting loudly, you need to try to stay calm."

"Does it have to be loud and clear, yet devoid of emotion?"

Tono Akiha tilted her head, looking completely bewildered.

She thinks acting is really difficult.

"Yes, you can't let emotions get into your shouts when you're Noble Phantasm Release; you have to do it with the feeling of completing Luviya's mission."

Seeing that the little girl didn't quite understand, Shinji could only add, "Miyu has her own normal route. Right now, she's only collecting cards to get a place to stay, clothes to wear, and food from Luviya."

"Hey, Shinji Matou. Don't talk to me like I'm some kind of stepmother from a fairy tale!" Luviya protested from the side.

Akiha rolled her eyes, then tentatively asked, "Like what I'm doing now? Following your arrangements, Matou-nii, just to survive?"

The little girl's words instantly changed the gaze of everyone else on set; they all stared at Shinji with the expectation that he would "last at least three years."

"Don't phrase it so strangely..."

Shinji's lips twitched uncontrollably, his face contorted in pain.

But getting angry at an innocent little girl wasn't his style, so in the end he could only helplessly slump his shoulders and say listlessly, "Fine, think what you want, as long as you can portray that feeling."

"Okay, I'll give it a try."

Xiao Akiha nodded her head vigorously.

"Let's take a break, we'll try again later."

After saying this, Shinji sat back in the Director's chair, looking helpless and melancholy.

"Hmm... I just wanted to film a couple of episodes of <Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya> to practice, why is it so complicated... As expected, children and animals are the most difficult things to handle on set, and that's no exaggeration."

Shinji never intended to film the entire "Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya" series. The filming time was too long, and it wasn't worth spending so much time on a Tokusatsu limited to Japan.

The plan is for the Second Master to film two episodes to get back into the swing of things, and then move on to the set of FA. He'll leave this part to the Director team at Tsuburaya Productions.

Anyway, the Director at Tsuburaya Productions are currently the most idle group of people in the entire company.

Aside from working as assistants on the set of Ultraseven X and learning how to set up large scenes, they had no other job.

Shinji, believing that since everyone else was working, couldn't be idle either, directly brought them to the <Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya> set and had them take over the work.

However, filming the first two episodes of <Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya> proved to be much more complicated than Shinji had anticipated.

Shinji himself hadn't touched a camera in almost a year, and not only was he quite rusty with his work, but the actors weren't in very good shape either.

Let's not even talk about Rin and Luviya, those two sworn enemies. Anyway, unless it's a scene where the two of them are fighting, Shinji will never let them appear on set at the same time.

Breaking things and increasing costs is secondary; many props and equipment on set are custom-made, and if they get damaged, there's no way to find replacements, which will greatly delay the filming schedule.

Besides Rin and Luviya, Illya's performance was also poor.

Although the little girl performed very hard, she always liked to use her experience of playing Illya in FSN to play herself in <Fate/stay night: Prisma Illya>.

Shinji had said it several times, but each time after a few good shots, Illya would revert to her old state, which greatly troubled him.

In contrast, Tono Akiha, who was just reminded by Shinji, gave the best performance among the four Lead Actor.

The only thing that bothered Shinji was that the little girl's mouth was too sharp; whenever she had the chance, she wanted to spread the word that Shinji was a lolicon.

Shinji ended up being surrounded by the entire crew several times.

"Really, do Shinji Matou, am that kind of person?"

Shinji strongly disagreed with Akiha's accusations; his favorite type of woman was a woman with large breasts and a perky butt, like Rider.

The next tier is high-quality girls like Rin, who have firm, shapely thighs.

If that's not possible, then at least one should have an outstanding appearance like Artoria's and a personality with potential.

But what does Tono Akiha have to do with that little girl?

Her figure is even worse Artoria's "sure thing," and she has no future potential for development.

Shinji wouldn't even choose a fox to attack her!

"I shouldn't have said those stupid things like 'We chose you to study you' back then."

Shinji shrugged and complained regretfully.

The casting of Tono Akiha as Miyu was a complete accident.

In fact, when the Little Secretary handed Shinji the information on the last shortlisted actress for Miyu, Shinji was also taken aback when he saw the name Tono Akiha.

He even suspected that it was Tono Akiha's father, Tono Makihisa, that old bastard who deliberately sent his daughter over.

However, after thoroughly investigating the Tono family's situation, Shinji realized that he had been overthinking things.

The Tohno family declined a long time ago, even more thoroughly than the Ryougi Family.

The Ryougi Family is still teetering on the edge of the mystical side, but the Tono family has completely become ordinary people, not even landlords anymore.

Both the family's inherited wealth and the family's mysterious research were completely cut off several generations ago in Akiha.

The only way to glean information about this once somewhat famous Mage Families in Japan is through records from other Mage Families.

Then the question arises: although the Tohno family has distanced itself from mystery, mystery has not left them; the [Inversion Impulse] still exists in every member of the Tohno family.

However, without any relevant records or channels of communication with the Mystic Test, the Tono family was completely helpless against [Inversion Impulse], allowing it to become [demonic] on its own.

However, in this mysteriously declining world, the inhuman side of the Tohno family isn't so terrible; it's just manifested as extremely strong aggression and uncontrollable emotions.

From the perspective of a normal person in modern society, this is just plain crazy.

That's right, the Tono family in this world is a notorious family of eccentrics, and their eccentricities are also very short-lived.

It got even more outrageous in Akiha's generation; she was the only one left in the entire Tono family.

My father and brother were sent to a mental hospital because of their [Inversion Impulse], and they died there.

It's said he died by suicide, but nobody knows for sure what really happened.

Knowing that she would eventually fall ill, Akiha decided that she must earn a lot of money before the onset of the illness so that she could have the best medical care.

For children, there are only a few ways to make big money.

Aside from the illegal ones, becoming a celebrity is the most feasible option left.

Fortunately, Akiha chose the path of the entertainment industry, otherwise she would never have met Shinji.

After learning about the Tohno family's situation, Shinji also became very interested in Akiha.

After all, there are very few people of mixed race (Non-human) these days, and even fewer who are destined to experience symptoms.

Shinji may enjoy movies and entertainment, but he is, after all, a Magecraft.

Encountering such a rare subject as Akiha, he was naturally delighted and immediately brought her into the production team, making it easier for him to...

Pooh.

It's research.

Unfortunately, Shinji was a bit too impatient and said something like "I'm going to study you" in front of the little girl.

Then, Tono Akiha misunderstood.

Although Shinji later explained the reason to her, the little girl knew nothing about Magecraft, the mixed-race nature of the "Non-human," or the "Inversion Impulse."

"Who would understand this?"

Klopp's face. jpg

So the little girl told everyone she met that Shinji would harm her, trying to protect herself in this way.

Although the Magecraft and Heroic Spirit in the crew all knew what was going on, they were too busy enjoying watching Shinji get the short end of the stick to stand by and watch the drama unfold. Why would they side with Shinji?

And so, once again.

The world was only achieved when Shinji was injured.

However, Shinji was not discouraged; he had already figured out how to win over the little girl.

As an experienced Magecraft, Shinji is waiting to give the little girl Akiha a big surprise—today is the day the fifth episode of Heaven's Feel will be released.
