So Stupid-How Could You Possibly Be a Girl!

Shinji's actions undoubtedly increased the difficulty of Shiro Tokisada Amakusa's performance, but Amakusa also felt that this was a challenge.

The distinction between outward appearance and inner self allows people to peel back the layers of fog and see their truest selves—a challenge that Amakusa desperately sought.

Furthermore, Amakusa's beginning is no longer so innocent, which makes the subsequent development of the story more reasonable.

Shinji originally only designed a plot twist involving Amakusa in the middle of the film, but the time constraints of the movie made this twist seem somewhat rushed.

Now that Amakusa is willing to accept the challenge, this makes the biggest turning point in Ace Combat more believable.

"Next up is Mordred..."

Shinji glanced down at Mordred, who was ostensibly feigning death but was actually enjoying Joan of Arc's lap Mordred.

"Mordred, why don't you just show us the love you have for Joan of Arc in real life?"

In Shinji's original conception, Mordred was simply a henchman, somewhat similar to Thanos's four henchmen in Avengers: Infinity War.

Shinji has now decided to give her more screen time, letting her banter with Joan of Arc of Arc.

Since Amakusa's character has been modified, it's no longer appropriate to give him some of the more lighthearted banter lines.

Mordred's act of treating Joan of Arc of Arc as a "father candidate" gave Shinji an inspiration.

"So no matter what, I'm just a stand-in, right?"

Joan of Arc pursed her lips.

Oh well, I'll be a dad then. Having another "son" isn't a bad deal.

"However, how do I make the changes?"

Joan of Arc was somewhat looking forward to seeing how Master would adjust her role.

Fortunately, Shinji didn't keep Joan of Arc of Arc in suspense.

"Compared to the other three, Joan of Arc, your role is both the easiest to play and arguably the most difficult."

"Why!?"

These words piqued Joan of Arc's curiosity.

"Because your role requires you to be mindful of boundaries!"

The Director pointed to the three people, Amakusa to one side.

"Of the three of them, one maintained the same mindset throughout the entire film, one was more reserved, and one was obsessed with A-list faces. These are all very obvious characteristics. As long as you can grasp the key points, you don't need to be particularly meticulous."

"But my role needs to keep changing?"

"Yes."

Shinji nodded, agreeing with Joan of Arc's statement.

"As the only protagonist in the film, Joan of Arc's mindset undergoes a process of maturing from immaturity. At first, she only wanted to complete the task given to her by the Holy Grail, but in the end, she had to take on the responsibility of saving the world."

This change was not easy for Joan of Arc of Arc, because as a Servant, they were already a complete character due to their past experiences.

"So, I need to act a little lazy at the beginning?"

"It's not so much laziness as indifference towards the task."

Shinji Joan of Arc, "You are an honest villager... but not a selfless one. You have given everything for France, and now you are going to participate in a war that has nothing to do with France. You need to manage this mindset."

Second Master almost blurted out the word "country girl".

"But I still find it strange," Joan of Arc of Arc said, rubbing her temples. "Such complicated matters are too difficult for a country girl like me."

I'll explain an example to you tonight.

Shinji took a box out of his bag; it was the DVD of the final episode of HF.

"We'll show this tonight and explain it to you using an example; that should help you understand it better. Joan of Arc, you can watch Artoria's performance; it should give you some inspiration."

"..."

Joan of Arc had no more words to say; that woman had become a source of psychological trauma for her.

[Damn Britain, just you wait!]

Joan of Arc clenched her fist tightly and let out a defiant snort.

[However, at least I don't have to worry about Master coming after me because he's too infatuated with that face. He still dotes on that tomboyish Britain woman, doesn't he?]

Joan of Arc could only console herself with this thought in the end.

If Shinji knew what Joan of Arc was thinking, he would definitely reply, "Then I'd definitely go after the Rabbit King!"

After all, in Shinji's eyes, that was Artoria's complete form. She had everything Artoria had, and she also had things Artoria didn't have.

What more could you want!

"Alright," Shinji said, standing up. "Let's go eat first, then continue the meeting."

"Master, Master!"

Astolfo, who hadn't been mentioned until now, suddenly raised his hand.

"What about me? What about me? What should I do?"

Shinji smiled and said, "Well, Afu is Afu, there's no need to change that."

Upon hearing this, Afu laughed heartily, "Oh, so I am who I am? That's great, hahahahaha!"

It's not that Shinji doesn't want to point out Afu's problems, but the problem is that even if he does, Afu won't understand!

As for traditional deception... deceiving the mentally challenged is illegal.

So Shinji, having completely given up, felt that Afu just needed to be cute, since his role in Fate/ Groot was the same as Groot in Guardians of the Galaxy—cuteness was all that mattered.

"Luckily, Afu is pretty, so her cuteness doesn't offend people."

Shinji sighed softly.

If anyone else were to take on this "cute" persona, without considering women, it would have to be Uncle Hai.

The scene of them acting cute was definitely aiming for [Fat Otaku Xiao Li's Happy Water Gun Time. JPG].

Just thinking about it makes my eyes water.

Chapter 210 So stupid, how could she possibly be a girl!

That evening, in the temporary meeting room of the FA film crew.

Are we the only few left?

Kairi Shishigou around. Besides himself, the only other people sitting in the conference room were a few members who had participated in the film crew discussions earlier that day.

The only exception was Astolfo, whose intelligence was akin to that of an oddball, who was also not here.

"I heard that Type-Moon's company appreciation events aren't all held together?" Kairi Shishigou asked curiously.

"Because I'm going to be explaining the film to you in detail, which will involve several pauses. To avoid disturbing other viewers, I naturally brought you here."

Shinji answered while adjusting the playback device.

"So, the rest of the people will still gather at another location to watch the movie, right?"

Mordred pouted and said unhappily, "How boring! I was hoping to watch her cool and heroic figure on the big screen with my father."

Shinji chuckled, "I don't think it's necessary. Although she's the actress in HF, she plays Alter, whom she hates the most. If you were to praise her, you'd be touching a sore spot."

Hearing this, Mordred chuckled and scratched his head, "The black-clad father is great too... If only she had used a little less force."

[So you're assuming you'll definitely get beaten up?]

Shinji didn't know whether to say that Mordred had self-awareness or that she was completely oblivious to her own limitations.

Or do they both qualify?

"Where's Astolfo? Why isn't he here?"

Joan of Arc found it strange that only Mordred, one of the two FA favorites, was present.

"Do you think Afu, with his intelligence, can understand what I'm saying?"

Shinji -question made Joan of Arc slap her forehead.

"I see."

Given Afu's stubbornness, explaining things to him is more like a waste of time than a good thing; he'd be lucky to understand even one or two out of ten sentences.

But with Afu's restless nature, he might very well make a mess of the presentation.

Poor listening efficiency can also disrupt classroom discipline, so it's understandable that Shinji didn't include Afu in his calculations.

"I wonder if that child will feel resentful."

Shinji waved his hand. "Impossible. If he had the brains, I would have called him over."

"Master, isn't it a bit inappropriate to say that about others?"

Joan of Arc gave a slightly embarrassed grin.

However, Afu, whom Joan of Joan of Arc cared for, was just as heartless as Shinji described.

At that moment, Afu was sitting in the back row of the film crew's screening room, eating a bag of potato chips.

Even though the TV series hasn't started playing yet, this guy already has a small pile of snack bags at his feet.

Very few Heroic Spirit summoned to the modern era are not interested in modern life. Not to mention hedonists like Iskandar, even knights like Joan of Arc' Artoria, who adhere to their beliefs, enjoy modern life.

Modern food is the type of Heroic Spirit are most interested in. After all, even kings and generals in ancient times could not compare with modern people when it came to food, and this is especially true for Heroic Spirit who lived a long time ago.

After all, what we eat nowadays are actually modern industrial products. With the development of science and technology, the methods of food processing, seasoning, and storage are vastly different from those in ancient times.

Even Gilgamesh had to admit that when it came to food, aside from extinct ingredients, the only thing in his treasury that could compare to modern cuisine was divine wine.

In particular, all kinds of candies and snacks are the favorites of most Heroic Spirit, who all become foodies.

Of course, there are differences between different foodies.

Those who accept everything, like Artoria, or those who have focused on junk food for a hundred years, are the highest level of gluttonous beings.

Next in line is Gilgamesh, who is a perfectionist when it comes to food. He prefers everything to be finely prepared, and his meals are either kaiseki cuisine or high-end France cuisine.

As for the adorable Afu, he's in the middle tier. He doesn't have any gluttonous traits, but thanks to his Heroic Spirit physique which will never change, he can't stop eating as long as there's something he likes to eat.

If Artoria is a gluttonous beast and Gilgamesh is a dragon, then Afu is an adorable squirrel.

Especially his little mouth constantly nibbling at food, and his cheeks constantly puffing out, it was truly...

"So cute!"

Sitting behind Afu, Illya and Akiha watched Afu munching on potato chips with the curiosity of curious children.

"Hey, hey, hey, brother."

Illya poked Shirou's waist with her little hand.

"Ah?"

Is he really a boy?

Illya, now full of curiosity, asked her brother.

"Why don't you just look and see? Of course I'm a boy!"

Hearing the conversation behind him, Afu turned around and grinned, revealing his little tiger teeth.

[What exactly makes you seem like a boy?!]

Illya and Akiha both responded to Afu with a look that said, "Are you kidding me?"

"Does my body type look more like a boy's?"

Afu tilted his head, not understanding why these two little girls thought they were girls.

Akiha retorted coldly, "Miss Saber is just as flat-chested as you, so she's still a girl, isn't she? You and she both love snacking, so you look like girls no matter how you look at it, right?"

Click.

A sound like something snapping rang out, and Artoria, sitting on the other side, stopped feeding herself.

"I've actually fallen to the same level as that idiot..."

Artoria suddenly found that the cookies in her hand didn't taste so good anymore.
