Shinji: I Never Use Such Vulgar Units / The Emiya Family Is Full of Talents

Whether it's the Jewel Sword of the Second Magic, Touko's superb puppet craftsmanship, or the Church's spirit Magecraft... these are all techniques that various Mage world want to understand in detail.

Regardless of the purpose, with the conclusion of Heaven's Feel, the Matou Family has once again become a trending topic in the Mage world.

Magecraft were desperate to make contact with this somewhat mysterious family, hoping to strike up a conversation with the head of the Matou Family, whether for the magic formulas the Matou Family, to gain publicity for themselves, or to gain access to the Modern Magecraft Department of the Clock Tower...

In short, in the following period of time, the number of people from the Mage world who approached Zouken and Shinji suddenly increased.

Of course, compared to those who have no connections and need to pull strings to even speak with the Matou Family, some people have it much easier.

For example, the Tohsaka family, which is the Three Families of Fuyuki City, along with the Matou Family.

"Thank you Lord Matou and Shinji."

With a standard aristocratic smile, Tokiomi Tohsaka thanked Matou Zouken in front of him.

"With the Matou Family's help, the Tohsaka will definitely have a place in the Clock Tower in the future. In that case, the Tohsaka family can be realized in my generation or Rin's generation."

Seeing Tokiomi Tohsaka's excited expression, Matou Zouken into laughter.

"Haha, Tokiomi, don't be so polite~ I was just putting in a good word for you at the Clock Tower, there's no need to thank me for such a small thing."

Zouken said generously, "The Three Families of Fuyuki City are closely related; your Tohsaka family's affairs are the Matou Family's affairs. As an elder, I've always regarded Tokiomi as my son."

"Is that so? Then thank you very much, Lord Matou... Hmm?"

Tokiomi finished thanking him, he began to think that something was amiss with what Zouken had said.

I am your son, I am your grandson Shinji, who am I?

Uncle...?

Godfather...?

Or perhaps, father-in-law...?

Chapter 224 Shinji: This young master never uses superficial units.

It was almost dawn, and Milo Johnson, upon returning home, didn't go to sleep but immediately turned on his computer.

Looking at what I had written in my notebook, I organized my thoughts in my mind.

Soon, a film review advocating for HF was quickly published.

<HF, A Perfect Ending>

This is the title Milo Johnson came up with for his review of the final episode of Heaven's Feel, and he believed it would attract the attention of countless Fate fans.

Because that's exactly what they want.

Although he hadn't watched the entire series of HF, Milo Johnson was no novice. Years of professional experience had given him a general understanding of the series, and his fingers flew across the keyboard at lightning speed.

[HF is a very special TV series. Although it's not a movie, each episode is two hours long, and it has become one of the most popular and anticipated films from the second half of last year to the summer blockbuster season this year.]

[This might sound strange, but the truth is that every month when a new episode of HF airs becomes a celebration for fans; everyone anticipates it like a real movie.]

[This time, I was invited to the HF big-screen screening event and watched the entire series from the first episode to the last, which was a very novel experience.]

[During the screening, all the moviegoers cheered and were extremely excited about the HF showing.]

[As is well known, HF is not a cheerful story; its dark plot and tragic setting do not make it a very enjoyable watch for viewers.]

[But why were the fans in the theater so happy? The reason is simple: this wasn't just the end of Heaven's Feel, but also the end of Fate/Stay Night.]

[And Director Shinji Matou delivered a satisfactory result for everyone.]

[I originally thought the story of Heaven's Feel would have a plain and ordinary ending, but I never expected Shinji Matou's storytelling ability to far exceed my expectations.]

[Making a 2-hour movie isn't particularly difficult, but creating a 12-hour series, with each episode being exceptionally engaging, truly tests Director's abilities.]

Fortunately, after watching the final episode of Heaven's Feel, I can give a definite answer. Shinji Matou did an outstanding job! So outstanding that it's unbelievable!

[The action scenes in the series are as spectacular as ever. Shinji Matou has given this series his own unique style of violence, which is both dazzling and powerful.]

[While not as wildly flamboyant and gory as other R-rated series, it's still full of power and maddening violence, definitely deserving of its R-rated rating.]

[Every Heroic Spirit fight scene was meticulously designed by Shinji Matou. These action sequences not only drive the plot forward but are also incredibly visually appealing, keeping you glued to the screen, afraid of missing a single unbelievable and spectacular action moment.]

[Of course, as the final episode of a TV series, the most important thing is the ending.]

[I find it hard to believe that Shinji Matou gave this dark story such a heartwarming ending. I'm even afraid that the series will have another twist at the end, and that this heartwarming scene is actually a character's dream.]

Fortunately, Shinji Matou knew what the audience wanted to see, and he didn't do anything that would be considered outrageous by both gods and men.

[Perhaps everyone thought there would be an unexpected twist at the end, Shinji Matou didn't deliver. Could this be considered a special kind of twist?]

In short, this is a great TV series, and also a truly authentic Shinji Matou movie!

After typing the last punctuation mark, Milo Johnson sent the film review to the newspaper's editorial department and copied the contact person in Jidai Group.'s public relations team.

Soon, the other party sent an email informing them that Milo Johnson's film review had been successfully approved and would not only be published in the newspaper but also on the series' official website and IMDb.

There were many public relations professionals like Milo Johnson after the final episode of HF aired.

After all, it's the final episode. If HF has a perfect ending in the story, then it should also have a beautiful ending in reality.

If we can't demonstrate the economic value of HF, then haven't we all been working for nothing all this time?

So it's not just the Jidai Group that's making efforts; the entire production team, from the producers to the main creators, is also taking turns to promote the series and garner as much attention as possible from fans.

The actors from HF were already used to recording various promotional videos in Fuyuki City, and everyone cooperated very well after Shinji suggested it.

That's what they say, but in reality, only Artoria and Rider need to do this kind of promotion.

The other main Lead Actor in the final episode— Shirou, Rin, Illya, Sakura, and even Kirei Kotomine —are all living, breathing people.

Given this rare opportunity, Shinji wasn't about to let them stay obediently in Fuyuki City; of course, they were going to run around doing promotional appearances!

If there were no other choice, who would want their propaganda target to be confined to one place?

In order to create a publicity effect, [Matou Zouken] also participated in various promotional activities, but the promotion was not for Zouken himself, but for the model props for Engraved Insect.

This can be considered Shinji pulled to promote the final episode of Heaven's Feel, since Zouken only appeared in this episode in the form of an insect.

Similar quirky promotions are very common in Japan, some of which are even organized by fans themselves, such as horse racing competitions featuring cosplayers dressed as horse girls.

However, to Shinji's surprise, the Grandpa Bug (Engraved Insect form) was very popular, with many fans strongly requesting that Type-Moon release Engraved Insect merchandise.

Like the Alien, this unique design, which carries a hint of fertility worship, gives it a strangely grotesque charm.

Shinji would never buy any Engraved Insect merchandise.

By the way, the interview made both Artoria and Lady Alter, the two King of Knights, very unhappy.

Artoria felt that although she was the one playing Saber Alter in Heaven's Feel, it wasn't the real her.

Alter's situation is even simpler. It's supposed to be him, but the person he hates most is playing the role. Could anyone with a short temper tolerate that?

As a result, the two Lady King of Knights clashed directly in Shinji's office, forcing Second Master to rebuild his office once again.

Congratulations, Shinji.

At Type-Moon Company, Chloe smiled and congratulated Shinji.

"The final episode of HF was a huge hit, you must have made a lot of money again."

"Congratulations my ass."

Shinji rubbed his hair and complained irritably, "No matter how much money I make, I can't save it all. Look, my office has just been forced to renovate again."

After listening, Chloe shrugged. "Well, as for your financial luck, I'm afraid only Gaia knows."

Shinji's financial luck is so bizarre that it has become one of the seven unbelievable events in the industry.

You might say he has bad luck with money, Shinji can make money with any idea he comes up with, and he himself is never short of money.

But to say Shinji lucky with money is an understatement; he always inexplicably spends all his money and can't save a single penny.

"I even went to pray to Archer with incense a couple of days ago, but it was completely useless," Shinji muttered coldly.

You'll get used to it.

Chloe patted Shinji on the shoulder. "The door on my side is always open for you."

"Lizzie, the way you're saying that sounds like you're making a sexual innuendo."

Smack

Shinji got a tap on the head.

Having lived with Shinji for a year, Chloe certainly knew what driving meant.

"Can't you say something positive?" Chloe said. "Like HF's achievements, or the project you're currently filming? That would be much healthier."

Shinji's face was full of amusement. "You know HF's achievements better than I do, do I need to tell you? As for the filming project, your generation's money is already in place, what else can I talk to you about? The movie has only just started filming."

"Besides, I'm no longer interested in money alone."

Shinji deliberately adopted a "I have no worldly desires" expression and calmly said, "Anyway, I can't save it all; having more money is just a numbers game."

Chloe sneered, "So you're focusing all your energy on your thighs, huh? Rin's right, when are you going to stop with these unhealthy things?"

"Or you might as well come at me directly."

Chloe added in a low voice.

Shinji seemed not to have heard the last whisper. He wagged his finger and said smugly, "Lizzie, you can't say that. Humanity hasn't perished because of what you call unhealthy stuff."

"Besides, I don't think my request is excessive. After all, I haven't had sex since I returned to Japan!"

Shinji on the table and complained, "I've never even thought about marriage. At least give me some exciting romantic encounters or one-night stands, that would be so much better! I'm so materialistic, all I want is to talk about money, not feelings, and I got nothing!"

Chloe secretly clenched her fist, then slowly released it.

"I'm saying it's inappropriate for you to complain about this in front of me, right? Or are you just deliberately trying to use this to put me down?"

Chloe crossed her arms and sneered, "Didn't you have enough fun at the Clock Tower? I heard you earned the nickname 'Hundred-Man Slayer' there."

"What a load of rubbish nickname." Shinji scoffed. "Do you think I'm the kind of person who can be described with such a superficial unit as 'hundred'?"

Chloe retorted irritably, "So what nickname do you want? The Thousand-Man Killer?"

"This nickname sounds too much like 'Thousand Years of Death,' I don't have any weird fetishes that would make me unable to get along with chrysanthemums."

"So, what cool nicknames have you come up with?"

"Hmm... it should at least be at least a 'Queen of Ten Thousand Women' level, right?"

Thump! Clang!!

That was the sound of Shinji being hit hard and then crashing to the ground.

Chapter 225 The Versatile Emiya Family

Despite its top-notch production and nostalgia factor, HF is ultimately not a movie; it's just a TV series.

A TV series is most popular and influential during its serialization phase; once it ends, it's considered past its prime.

Even a successful work like Heaven's Feel is no exception.

By the end of February, the hype surrounding HF had largely died down, with only die-hard fans like Kuonji Azu still remembering the series.

Anyway, HF has already made enough money for Type-Moon Company, Jidai Group, and Bandai. Once the hype dies down, everyone's attention is already on the next money-making project.

The situation in the Mage world is completely opposite to that in the entertainment industry. The popularity of HF has not diminished; on the contrary, it has continued to rise due to ongoing discussions about the Magecraft in the series.

The two most hotly debated topics were the Tohsaka family's publicly released blueprints for the Jewel Sword and the feasibility of several life-extending methods mentioned in Heaven's Feel.

Whether it's Second Magic or drawing magic from Parallel world, this legendary Magecraft Mystic Code is destined to be the focus of discussion among Magecraft for a long time to come.

The reason it hasn't completely ignited public opinion in the Mage world yet is because the conditions for creating the Jewel Sword are too demanding, and it's simply impossible to succeed at this stage.

To put it more vividly, it's like Magecraft now have the blueprints for the iPhone 13 Pro Max, but their production lines and technology are only at the level of a low-end game console.

Despite the large gap, the Magecraft were not discouraged. Having a goal is better than having no goal at all, and they believed that working together would always lead to a solution.

The Modern Magecraft Department has now established a special team to develop the Jewel Sword, solely in order to recreate this Jewel Master Magecraft Mystic Code.

As for another hotly debated life-extending technique in the Mage world, it mainly focuses on Grandpa Bug's insect life-extending method and Shirou Emiya's doll life-extending method.

While the method used by the Grandpa Bug to prolong his life is extremely inhumane, when have Magecraft ever had a correct set of values?

With the exception of a few, the vast majority of Magecraft are extreme egoists; as long as they can reach the root, they don't care if the other 6 billion people in the world die.

It would be better if all 6 billion people died, then no one would be competing with me for the ticket to reach the root cause.
