Rin: I've Embarrassed Myself Beyond Belief!

This is not nonsense. Although the plot was based on Hiroyama Hiroyama's manga, Shinji still incorporated a lot of his own screenwriting style when writing the script.

In the end, Shinji believed that his script adaptation was quite good.

After all, it's about adapting a two-dimensional comic into a three-dimensional TV series, so it's impossible to create something exactly the same. I believe fans can understand that.

It doesn't matter if you don't understand, because the Fate story in this Parallel world is entirely Shinji Matou. You'll be forced to understand even if you don't!

Today is the premiere day of <Magical Girl Prisma Illya>.

"I'm talking about Shinji..."

While sipping his drink, Red A tilted his head and asked, "Wasn't Ultraman episodes supposed to air on Saturday mornings? How did it become Friday night's prime time?"

"That's what makes your Master so awesome, you should learn from him~"

Shinji, with a smug look on his face, proudly declared, "To promote this Tokusatsu, the TV station specially allocated a Friday primetime slot to air a consecutive special episode of <Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya> featuring the first two episodes."

"Being able to snag the second-best prime-time slot of the week, that's what you call professional."

Shinji snapped his fingers, sipped his grape juice from his wine glass, and had a smug look on his face.

"I heard that his schedule just happened to open up this week, so Shinji specifically asked to squeeze in his own projects?"

Shinji, Shirou secretly confirmed with Enkidu.

Xiao En could only answer the question with an awkward but polite smile, "Do you think Master, with his thick skin, would feel that he begged for this?"

"Ah, I was being silly."

Shirou then realized what was happening, but he didn't dare laugh in front of Shinji, so he had to hold it in with great difficulty.

Shinji was somewhat helpless with Shirou, his mischievous friend who was always undermining him.

If he really wanted to be petty, he would feel like he was being stingy.

But if I just let it go like this, I'll always feel a little uncomfortable knowing I can't show off.

Fortunately, Amakusa interrupted at this moment, which allowed Shinji to stop thinking about how to deal with Shirou.

"Master, I know you have a habit of showing everyone your work, but isn't it unnecessary to gather everyone together for anime that's meant for little girls? And..."

Amakusa glanced around the room and saw that, apart from Afu and Enkidu, everyone else was male; there wasn't a single female among them.

Watching Magical Girl with a bunch of grown men is simply unacceptable to Amakusa, given his current level of sophistication.

Smack

Shinji slammed his hand on the table and said righteously, "Amakusa, don't think that stories with female protagonists are only for girls! Little girls like watching Mission Impossible and Diarmuid. What's wrong with us guys getting together to watch little girls?"

"If this isn't right, why don't you call 110 to report it?"

"Amakusa, you can't think like that. If you're going to save all of humanity, you can't be prejudiced against people."

"What's wrong with little girls? Aren't little girls human? You don't understand little girls, how can you save them?!"

Shinji shook his finger, his expression like that of a priest trying to convert someone to a religion, his face full of piety.

"..."

Amakusa was speechless after hearing Shinji's words.

Shinji wasn't going to let it go so easily; he continued to deceive people.

"Besides, what era are we living in? Magical Girl and dress-up anime aren't just popular with girls, boys love them to death too!"

"Look at those role-playing games, which one isn't riddled with mods, and which one doesn't require players to spend ages customizing a girl's face?"

"So don't look down on these things! Amakusa, this is the trend of the future!"

Perhaps it was Shinji's overwhelming aura that caused Amakusa to subconsciously take a step back.

Shirou, standing nearby, grinned; he found the scene quite amusing.

Because in the past, this role of Shinji was always played by Amakusa.

[Is this priest really going to be tricked into converting to Christianity by Shinji, and then start some kind of little girl support group?]

Seeing Amakusa sit back down in his seat, Shirou suddenly had this thought.

[Forget it, Father Amakusa is such an upright person, he certainly wouldn't break the law and add insult to injury. I don't need to worry about it anymore.]

Shirou focused his attention on the television in the center of the room, waiting for <Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya> to start.

This is my younger sister 'Lead Actor first TV series, so I have to appreciate it carefully no matter what.

"I don't want to see Illya's dress-up show."

Shirou patted his chest, trying to reassure himself.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

The opening of <Magical Girl Prisma Illya> can be described as a very traditional Magical Girl story beginning.

Illya, an "ordinary" Fuyuki City, suddenly makes a contract with a strange True Magic and becomes a Magical Girl.

In fact, the first season of the <Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya> manga can only be described as mediocre. It's basically a traditional adventure story disguised as a Magical Girl story with Fate as its core.

These kinds of stories have a very basic outline, which has been told countless times in the first half of the year and is still loved by people—the protagonist leaves his familiar "daily life" and makes a name for himself in a new environment.

Regardless of whether the story ends happily or badly, most stories follow this outline.

But to tell such a clichéd story well depends on the storyteller's skill.

As a world-class Director, Shinji certainly wouldn't tell his stories so bluntly, nor would he simply slap a bunch of settings in the audience's face.

<Magical Girl Prisma Illya> is a spin-off of Fate/stay night, and most viewers have seen at least one Fate series.

Therefore, Shinji is not in a hurry to introduce the world view to the audience, but instead uses an interview as the beginning of the story.

Accompanied by a sizzling sound in the background, the audience saw one young man after another appear on stage, his face blurred and his body wrapped in bandages.

At first, the audience didn't know what had happened and thought these people were accidentally injured in the battle between Magical Girl.

But through these people's descriptions, the audience quickly overturned their own assumptions.

These people weren't involved in the Magical Girl's battle—or rather, that's not entirely wrong, except that the two "Magical Girl" were named Tohsaka Rin and Luviya.

The battle took place in the classroom of the Clock Tower.

Natural disasters, man-made calamities, collateral damage from monster attacks, or accidental injuries during Magical Girl battles—none of those apply!

It was just a simple fight between women!

Chapter 274 Rin: I've lost face big time!

"Pfft----Hahahaha!"

Aoko clutched her stomach and burst into uncontrollable laughter.

"No way? Hahaha! There really are such sworn enemies? They got into a fight over a little argument and ended up seriously injuring so many people! Isn't that just too ridiculous?!"

Hearing Aoko's exaggerated laughter, Azu clenched her fists.

She felt that Aoko had subtly insulted her.

"I heard it's true."

Shibamatsu shared the gossip he had heard from his friend at the Clock Tower.

"What? What?"

Aoko rubbed her nearly dislocated jaw and asked excitedly, "What do you mean by 'true'?"

"The matter of Ms. Tohsaka and Ms. Edelfelt fighting."

Shibamatsu replied, "I heard that ever since they entered the Clock Tower for further studies, the two of them have been constantly fighting, big and small."

Aoko's eyes widened. "No way? They really dare to fight on Kenseth's turf, just like in the TV dramas?"

Fearing that some Magecraft sorcerer might come knocking on his door in the middle of the night, Shinji gave Kenseth the role originally intended for the Jewel Master in <Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya>.

There's no real difference. Kenseth doesn't appear in the main world of <Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya> anyway, so it's perfectly fine for him to play the role of a behind-the-scenes boss. He can even promote the Modern Magecraft Department at the same time.

Aoko wasn't surprised by Kenseth's appearance, but rather by the fact that Tohsaka Rin and her friend were causing trouble on Kenseth's turf.

It's important to know that Kenseth is no pushover. Although his mysterious decline has made him less arrogant in this world, his stern nature remains.

Even with his most prized disciple Waver and his most unruly student Shinji, Kenseth only showed favoritism towards them in other areas, never in their studies!

Even Aoko, who had always lived in the Far East, had heard of Kenseth's strict personality, and she found it hard to imagine that a student would be so reckless as to cause trouble in the Lord's class.

"Let's look at it another way," Azu guessed. "Perhaps it means that even Kenseth can't stop them."

This is not impossible; some people are born to be mortal enemies and powder kegs, ready to explode at the slightest provocation.

"Ahem, the argument between these two young ladies isn't the point."

Shibamatsu's tone was somewhat hurried; he couldn't wait to share the news he had heard.

"The main point is, they had another argument... no, a fight, at the end of last year. Apparently, it was a really bad fight; the classrooms for the Modern Magecraft Department had to be renovated."

"Really?"

Aoko glanced at the TV screen subconsciously, her expression a little strange, as if she wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.

Shibamatsu's revelations continued, "Most importantly, Shinji Matou happened to be at the Clock Tower at the time and witnessed the entire fight between the two of them. It's said that he even suffered some minor injuries as a result."

"Um?"

Azu also looked up; she too had become interested in this gossip.

"It's said that because of this incident, Shinji took Ms. Tohsaka and Ms. Edelfelt back to Fuyuki City to reflect on their actions."

"That's all?"

Shibamatsu shook his head. "Not only that, I heard that those two young ladies got into another fight at the airport as soon as they got off the plane."

Aoko and Azu subconsciously looked at the TV screen. At that moment, the plot was showing Rin and Luviya arguing in public at the airport, their fingers intertwined.

"Some say that it was because of the incident involving these two ladies that Shinji Matou was prompted to make this Tokusatsu."

Aoko rolled her eyes. "This story is based on a true story? That's amazing..."

Azu was also surprised by this gossip about Shibamatsu.

She wasn't initially enthusiastic about "Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya" because it wasn't a drama entirely produced by Shinji Matou; the fantasy theme of Magical Girl wouldn't involve any related Magecraft knowledge; and since it was broadcast on television, it wouldn't offer the various technical Magecraft to study like "Super Eight".

It's fair to say that As Magecraft, Azu had no motivation to watch <Magical Girl Prisma Illya>.

The only reason I turned on the TV to watch this Tokusatsu, besides the club's group activities, was because I was just so incredibly bored lately.

However, Shibamatsu's words opened the door for Azu to a new world.

Since the beginning of the TV series is based on a true story, does that mean there are many other parts of the story that are also based on true events?

"According to Shinji Matou's promotion of this TV series, <Magical Girl Prisma Illya> will be a story showcasing the harmony and love of Fuyuki City, a story specifically prepared for Illya didn't have a happy ending in other versions."

Azu began to lower her head and think.

"Judging from this, a lot of the content of this TV series will be adapted from real stories, and it may even be a reflection of Fuyuki City in reality... I'm definitely going to watch this series!"

If it's just a simple fantasy story, it's not worth Azu attention, but if it's connected to Fuyuki City in reality, then Miss Kuzunoha won't be sleepy at all!

For Magecraft, Fuyuki City is now both familiar and mysterious.

Through the Fate story, everyone is very familiar with Fuyuki City and knows the Three Families like the back of their hand.

However, it is difficult for outsiders to know the specific situation in Fuyuki City.

Thanks to the Servants' efforts and Shinji's management, outsiders have no chance of obtaining any information that Shinji is unwilling to disclose.

"Learning about Fuyuki City through a TV series like this is a good approach. Even if it's just some subtle hints, it can help me understand Fuyuki City and Mr. Matou's attitude towards certain things."

With Azu eyes glued to the screen, Yuzhu analyzed with an air of seriousness, "Take this 'accident' that Mr. Matou personally experienced, for example. The fact that it's presented in such a humorous way shows that Mr. Matou didn't take it to heart. He really dotes on that woman Tohsaka Rin."

In the end, Azu actually felt a little envious.

"Hey, when will Mr. Matou tell us the stories of the other Mage families besides those in Fuyuki City?"

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

Achoo!

Rin, who was watching "Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya" with everyone at the Matou Residence, sneezed slightly.

"Who's insulting me? Pfft... I'm not even asking, there's no need to."
