Jeanne: You Guys Just Want Me for My Face, Don't You?!

This woman will be the face of Type-Moon Company from now on, so it's not unreasonable for her to ask for a personal driver.

[Let Alter go. He can be the driver and also act as a bodyguard. Anyway, the other guy doesn't have a job and just lazes around all day.]

Shinji of days ago that Artoria went to participate in a hamburger Big Eater contest, and her amazing eating power made the other contestants cry.

"I'll arrange a female driver for you; that will make communication easier for the two of you."

With a smile, Shinji made arrangements for that tyrannical King of Knights.

"There's one more thing,"

Udagawa Nao nodded and continued, "According to my contract with Bandai, I need to pay Bandai a penalty of 50 million yen for joining Type-Moon Company."

"You don't need to worry about that." Shinji was prepared for this. "Type-Moon Company will pay for it."

Fortunately, Sister Nannou is currently only a mid-level manager at Bandai Group. If she were to advance further in her position, the penalty for breach of contract could very well exceed 100 million.

Although the unit is Japanese yen, it's definitely not a small amount.

In fact, his position at Bandai was a key reason why Udagawa Nao chose to switch jobs to Type-Moon Company.

Despite her ambition in the workplace, Udagawa Nao is not Shinji Transmigrator, and she has no idea that she might become the head of Bandai in the future.

As Japan working woman, Udagawa Nao's best prediction for her career at Bandai was that she would become a supervisor in a branch office or a department head at the head office.

This isn't the world of Conan, and being a company president isn't some high-risk profession.

The position of president of a mid-sized company like Type-Moon Company is definitely more attractive than being a mid-level manager in Grand Duke.

In particular, the Type-Moon Company is currently experiencing rapid growth but lacks a clear business plan provides Udagawa Nao with an opportunity to showcase his talents.

Naturally, the conversation gradually turned to Type-Moon Company.

Although Udagawa Nao is considered a strong career woman, her work style is relatively mild.

This is exactly the opposite of Shinji.

Despite his usual jovial demeanor, Second Master is extremely tough when it comes to work, even bordering on tyrannical.

Shinji was also aware of his own shortcomings, which was one of the reasons he sought out Udagawa Nao Management Company. He needed a company operator who could complement his own abilities.

"Type-Moon Company has developed very rapidly in the past two years, establishing a complete production system and securing reliable distribution partners."

Before getting down to business, Udagawa Nao first flattered Shinji.

"To have developed a newly established entertainment company into what it is today in just a few years... Shinji, not just in Japan, but in the whole world, no one could have done it better than you."

Shinji smiled. He wasn't stupid; of course he could tell that Udagawa Nao's words had a hidden meaning.

"Sister, we've known each other for a long time, so please speak frankly."

Udagawa Nao took a sip of black tea and asked, "Shinji, have you thought about Type-Moon Company's next focus?"

Shinji pondered for a moment, then said, "Integrate company resources and conduct internal optimization."

Although the framework for all departments in Type-Moon has been set up, they are all doing their own jobs.

To put it bluntly, the connections between different departments are probably not as close as those between the partner companies.

This is a drawback of the rapid discovery of Type-Moon.

Shinji said directly to Udagawa Nao, "I'll leave the integration work to you, sister."

Udagawa Nao nodded. "Of course, but this can only be done after I join the company and have a full understanding of the situation in each department. I estimate it will be completed by the end of this year at the earliest."

Hearing this, Shinji felt relieved.

Reconciling the interests of different departments is no easy task. If the other party claims it can be resolved in a few months, Shinji will think they are trying to fool him.

"Go at your own pace, I'm not in a hurry. The premise of integrating the company internally is not to affect the film's release. If there are any conflicts, we can postpone it."

"I see."

"In addition to internal consolidation, the company's external expansion cannot stop."

Shinji instructed, "Your next task is to expand Type-Moon Company's film library. You need to take a two-pronged approach: on the one hand, purchase the rights to finished films, and on the other hand, invest in capable new films and strive to acquire their rights."

"Our goal is to eventually create a massive film library centered around the Fate series."

Even if you're the best Director in the world, you can't possibly produce all the films for one company. So investing in other film crews and buying the copyrights from other companies are essential.

Shinji also wants to create a streaming platform, and the best way to attract users in the early stages of streaming is to use exclusive content, plus a huge library of content for users to choose from.

"Regarding the film library, the most important thing is to create classic IPs; just having Fate and Ultraman isn't enough."

Upon hearing Shinji's words, Udagawa Nao raised an eyebrow. "Choosing the IP is your business; I'm only responsible for doing it well."

"Of course, I have confidence in my judgment," Shinji said confidently.

The two chatted until mid-afternoon, when finally Udagawa Nao took the initiative to leave.

Although she had previously said she didn't want to return to Tokyo, her resignation procedures at Bandai weren't fully completed, so she still had to go back.

She will officially join the Type-Moon family when Udagawa Nao returns to Fuyuki City.

After half a day of conversation, Shinji became increasingly convinced that his decision was correct.

Perhaps Udagawa Nao is not quite the same as the queen of model kits who Bandai ruled Bandai in her previous life, but his many years of experience have allowed him to accumulate a wealth of knowledge and develop remarkable abilities.

"That's strange."

After Udagawa Nao left, Ryougi Shiki muttered to herself, "Shinji, you didn't even tell her about Magecraft."

Shinji replied, "Of course, Uncle should speak up for this; I won't overstep my bounds."

"Is this the legendary little secret between lovers? How romantic~" Ryougi Shiki rested her face on one hand, a hint of envy on her face.

"Hehe, instead of worrying about this kind of gossip, Sister Shi, you should spend more time improving your Acting Skills."

Shinji's words made Ryougi Shiki pout. "I'm one of the top students in my class, even better than the two Lead Actor in your new movie."

"That's really good."

The perfunctory reply only fueled Ryougi Shiki's dissatisfaction, "Shinji, my grades are so good, don't you have anything to say in return?"

How about I reward you with my body?

Although he really wanted to say that, Shinji didn't voice his thoughts in order to avoid being prosecuted for office sexual harassment.

"Do you really want to act that much, Sister Shi?"

"Certainly!"

Ryougi Shiki nodded earnestly.

"Hmm... let me think about it."

Given Shinji's habits, if he were to actually use Ryougi Shiki, it would definitely be in the Kara no Kyoukai series.

However, Shinji simply couldn't handle the kind of Japanese ghost story style that Kara no Kyoukai) was.

This is a matter of Director style.

Of course, the most crucial point is that the subject matter of <Kara no Kyoukai> is too niche.

It's alright in East Asia, but audiences in Europe and America won't be interested in this kind of story at all.

Unlike Kara no Kyoukai Super Eight, Kara no Kyoukai didn't have the need to test technology, so Shinji didn't initially have the idea of creating this series.

However, thinking about his earlier discussion with Udagawa Nao about IP, Shinji suddenly realized that using <Kara no Kyoukai> to solidify Type-Moon's position in the East Asian market wasn't out of the question.

Of course, Shinji himself will definitely not direct this series; Shinji plans to hand over the production of "Kara no Kyoukai" to Tsuburaya Productions.

In any case, Tsuburaya Productions' classic corporate culture of making horror films perfectly complements the mystical and whimsical story style of "Kara no Kyoukai no Kyoukai".

The only problem is that Tsuburaya Productions already has three projects: Ultraman Mebius, Ultraseven X, and Prisma Illya. Will adding another one cause issues with funding and manpower?

"Forget it, I'll cover for them anyway, they definitely won't go bankrupt," Shinji muttered confidently to himself. "I've taught the Tsuburaya people so much, they need to show off their skills."

"So, Shinji, what's your decision?"

Seeing Ryougi Shiki clinging to the desk with an expectant look, gazing at him pitifully, Shinji smiled.

"Shiki, after the training is over, please submit your resume to Tsuburaya Productions. Although it's not a movie I'm directing, I will be responsible for the script and outline."

"Real!?"

"Of course. But are you really ready to be an actor?"

"Okay, all ready!"

Ryougi Shiki's face lit up. "Mmm~ I'm finally going to be a star!"

[Hey, hey, hey, you're a rich girl who's obsessed with becoming a star. Your father would probably cry if he heard that.]

Shinji did not hesitate to criticize in his heart.

However, his lips then curled up slightly.

[The Heroic Spirit Actor cannot leave Fuyuki City has always made promotion difficult.]

[If we can promote this young lady, it would be great to have her as a field agent.]

The young lady, Ryougi Shiki, who was cheering for her upcoming screen debut, was completely unaware that she had become Tool Person for some Director whose name started with "two".

Chapter 207 Joan of Arc: You're all after my face, aren't you?!

Fuyuki City, Fate/Apocryph filming location.

"Miss Medea, how should this spell be performed?"

"Your Majesty Artoria, could you briefly explain the difference between Fairy Blessing Magecraft and ordinary Magecraft that utilizes Natural Magic Power?"

"Stheno, is Greek Divine Arts an innate talent of the gods?"

"Enkidu, what is the difference between Primal Magecraft and Divine Authority?"

"Mr. Yan Qing, what is the difference between your Celestial Dynasty's array formations and barrier Magecraft?"

"Mr. Archer, we'd like to experience the Reality Marble, just for a few seconds!"

"I'm a little envious of them."

Looking at the film set, which was even busier than during filming, Joan of Arc of Arc sat idly in a corner, munching on chocolate.

Since the Magecraft from the Clock Tower moved into the film set, this scene has become a daily occurrence for the crew.

For Magecraft, the opportunity to get up close to these ancient heroes is an opportunity they desperately desire.

These Magecraft may not be as skilled as Touko, but each of them has a heart that yearns to explore the mysterious.

Therefore, during breaks, almost every Heroic Spirit would be surrounded by Magecraft seeking their advice.

Shinji went to the company today to meet with Udagawa Nao, so the Magecraft naturally took the opportunity to ask the Heroic Spirit teachers questions.

The most popular are naturally Caster, who has a wealth of Magecraft knowledge, like Medea, and can even teach at the Clock Tower.

However, many people also sought advice from Yan Qing and his group. Although they might not be good at Magecraft theory, they could still offer these Magecraft a lot of suggestions in their areas of expertise.

There are only two types of Heroic Spirit who won't be bothered by Magecraft: one is someone Gilgamesh, who looks unapproachable.

Another type is the "illiterate" like Joan of Arc.

Calling her illiterate might be a bit of an exaggeration, but in FGO's voice lines, Joan of Arc, who calls herself a "country girl," is truly a blank slate when it comes to Magecraft theory.

Even though Artoria, under Merlin's tutelage, knew some of the spells used by Britain at that time.

But Joan of Arc...

Having gained power through miracles, she was utterly clueless about theories—knowing nine out of ten things but not a single one.

Mystery and such can't be solved by simply praying to God, can't it?

The Magecraft knew that asking Joan of Arc Magecraft questions was pointless, so almost no one asked her any. Everyone was pressed for time, so there was no point in wasting it.

For Joan of Arc of Arc herself, everyone else was surrounded by people, and she was sitting there all alone. It would be a lie to say that she didn't have some emotional issues.

"Waaah... I'm not jealous or anything... Waaah..."

Joan of Arc ate one chocolate and deftly tore open the wrapper of another.

"... Waaah... I just feel... waaah... has no one ever thought of learning about the mystical through faith?... waaah..."

Joan of Arc licked the crumbs off the wrapper and took another one.
