Don't Call Me Master, Call Me Director

"Alright, ladies."

Shinji walked up to Rin and Artoria, clapping his hands to interrupt their conversation.

"For the upcoming filming, we'll be using some small props."

As he spoke, Shinji placed a beaker with a snap onto the bed. Inside the beaker was a jelly-like substance, but its deep black color made it clear it was definitely not jelly.

"What is this?"

Rin poked it curiously with her finger.

"It's a little gadget developed from the Archibolt family's (Kirei Kotomine's family) Magecraft Mystic Code, Moon Cell Jelly,"

Shinji said with a serious expression. "It's made using modern industrial technology and activated by Magecraft. It has excellent flexibility, plasticity, and breathability. It's an almost perfect product. The only regret is that the cost is a bit high, otherwise, I, Master Shinji, could get rich just by selling this."

Rin directly cut off Shinji's rambling: "You've been babbling for so long, what exactly is this thing for?"

"Body sculpting, breast augmentation," Shinji explained concisely. "It feels better and more realistic than existing silicone fake breasts. More importantly, it's very breathable, so you won't feel any discomfort wearing it."

"Why would I wear something like this! You pervert!"

Rin raised her fist, striking a pose that said, If you don't explain clearly, I'll make you regret it.

"Because the filming effect just now wasn't good. The clothes couldn't be supported properly, and the shots came out looking terrible."

Although both Artoria and Rin were beautiful girls among ten thousand, their figures...

They looked fine standing up, but their flaws were exposed when they lay down.

If it were just a fleeting shot, it would be fine, but the shot of Rin and Artoria embracing was very important, and Shinji had to treat it seriously.

"That's sophistry!!" Rin retorted unhappily. "Having large breasts... that's just your lewd thoughts at work, isn't it?"

Artoria, who had been listening, suddenly spoke up: "Rin, I agree with Master on this."

"Huh?!"

Rin was completely stunned. She widened her eyes and glared at Artoria, who should have been on her side.

"Even though you're his Servant, you're still a girl, right? Shouldn't we be on the same side at times like this?"

Rin pointed at Artoria, her face full of indignation.

"Well, how should I put it."

Artoria crossed her arms and nodded her head, thinking she was being wise.

"Let's just talk about the matter at hand. Rin, your breast size is neither here nor there. You're not flat-chested like me, nor do you have large breasts like Sakura. You're just half-baked, so it's natural for the shots to not look good."

"Wh-what?!"

Rin's mouth gaped wide enough to swallow two eggs.

Artoria's words didn't hurt much, but they were extremely insulting.

Shinji subconsciously glanced at the chests of the two women. He had to admit that although Artoria's words were pure sophistry, there was some truth to them. Rin's chest was indeed at the level of slightly above flat, but not yet a B-cup.

Compared to her, Artoria was purely undeveloped and flat-chested.

"Ah? No, no. You've got it wrong," Shinji said, waving his hands to deny it. "Rin isn't the one using it. She's above, and it doesn't affect the filming. The one who needs to use it is you, Artoria. You lying there are like a steel plate, completely flat. It looks terrible on camera, so we need something to prop it up."

"H-how could you!! Master, how can you say that!"

This time, it was Artoria's turn to repeat Rin's expression from earlier.

"What? So that's how it is! Hahahaha."

Rin rubbed her head, a look of narrow escape on her face.

"Rin, you don't have to be like that. If you want some, I can give you a little."

Shinji patted Rin's shoulder.

"This thing is safe, non-toxic, and of good quality. It's the best choice for improving your figure. If you're afraid of people saying you had breast augmentation, you can use a little at first. Then, if anyone asks, you can say 'I'm trying out a new method'."

"After that, you just need to let your chest grow a little with age, and there won't be any flaws. How about it? If you really want it, considering we're childhood friends, I, Master Shinji, can give you a friendship price..."

"Shut up! You damn pervert!!"

Furious, Rin punched Shinji in the face.

Chapter 9: Would You Like Some Mapo Tofu?

In the end, due to shame and self-esteem, Young Lady Rin resolutely refused to use the product Master Shinji offered.

Furthermore, as if to prove the firmness of her stance to Shinji, Young Lady Rin made a huge flag while refusing.

"I'm only 16 years old now, I'll definitely develop more in the future! This current situation is definitely not my limit!!"

Master Shinji felt that Young Lady Rin was simply dreaming.

As someone who had seen countless parallel worlds in Type-Moon and witnessed all sorts of situations involving Tohsaka Rin, he, Master Shinji, knew better.

From the head of the Tohsaka family to a pirate leader, to being possessed by a Goddess, Shinji had seen every version of Tohsaka Rin.

No matter the version, Tohsaka Rin's figure was basically at its limit in its current state.

The only exception was Ereshkigal Rin, but Master Shinji preferred to believe that was an illustrator's mistake, as Ereshkigal Rin's measurements in the official data were identical to the one in front of him.

Regarding whether Rin could grow further, Master Shinji always maintained a laissez-faire attitude, believing in natural development.

After all, Tohsaka Rin's biggest selling points have always been her legs, legs, and more legs...

But no matter what, Miss Rin's current size was already her limit. To go any further, Miss Rin would have to wait until she was dreaming after waking up.

Therefore, Master Shinji confidently responded to his childhood friend's Flag: "I have the item here. Come find me whenever you need it.

As for the price, I'll keep it at the original price, absolutely no price increases."

"Even if I, Tohsaka Rin, never grow again and stay at this level my whole life, I won't use your junk!!"

Seeing Rin pointing her index finger up and down, Master Shinji shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then I'll just wait for you to say 'true fragrance'."

After speaking, Shinji took the opportunity while Rin was still contemplating the meaning of his retort to give his specially made Magecraft Mystic Code to Artoria for use.

Under Shinji's Magic control, the jelly-like substance suddenly came alive and, with lightning speed, burrowed into Artoria's neckline.

"Mmm..."

The cool sensation caused Artoria to let out a muffled groan, her cheeks involuntarily flushing.

Fortunately, the strange sensation from the Mystic Code only lasted a few seconds. As the "fake chest" solidified into shape, its color changed to a flesh tone identical to her skin, and its temperature rose to match Artoria's body heat.

From the outside, apart from Artoria's bust size increasing instantly, there was no other difference from before. Everything appeared very natural.

"Mmm... It's amazing," Artoria said, bouncing slightly. "Besides a slight increase in weight, there's no discomfort at all. Master, this item of yours... Master, what are you doing?"

Looking up, Artoria finally noticed Shinji directing the camera at her.

"Your expression just now was fantastic!" Shinji gave Artoria a thumbs-up. "Such a rare and natural shy expression definitely needs to be recorded! We might even be able to use it in the main film with a different background."

"..."

The King of Knights' mouth twitched unnaturally.

"Master, sometimes I really understand why Rin hates you so much."

Artoria complained softly.

"Thank you for the compliment."

Shinji smiled happily.

With the help of the jelly Mystic Code, Shinji managed to capture the almost perfect scene of Artoria and Rin interacting closely, just as he envisioned.

Of course, as someone aiming to film a top-tier commercial film that would impact the entire world, Master Shinji would naturally not film any scenes that crossed the line.

The extent of the Yuri blooming scene between Rin and Artoria was limited to showcasing their perfect appearances and slightly enhanced (emphasis) perfect figures.

Shinji never intended to make FSN a restricted rating that minors couldn't watch.

From the beginning, Shinji's target rating for this FSN was PG-13, the rating most commercial films chose in his previous life, which is equivalent to a special guidance rating.

Therefore, Shinji did not choose the Replenish Magic scene from the original game (R-18), but rather the all-ages version that Nasu specifically adapted later for console platforms.

However, due to the deformed development of the film and television industry in this parallel world, the PG-13 rating is basically the least valued.

Because in this peculiar parallel world, the best-selling films are R-rated and G-rated (general audience rating).

The former is the favorite of adult audiences, while the latter represents the family market for children.

Therefore, in the eyes of filmmakers in this world, PG-13 can neither attract adult audiences like R-18 nor truly capture the children's market for all ages like G-rated films.

Considered a chicken rib type rating, falling short of the former and not reaching the latter, it is rarely chosen by films except for some youth campus movies.

It's also interesting to note that if other directors in this parallel world were filming it, this scene between Artoria and Tohsaka Rin would definitely be shot as an 18+ film.

Moreover, Shinji could guess with his knees that the so-called "artistic shots" by those directors would be nothing more than naked, naked, and more naked.

Anyway, Master Shinji has no respect for those old lechers who claim to be artistic but are full of lust.

If you really want to be lustful, learn from Master Shinji, use your handsome face to seduce girls. What kind of hero is it to act like a hooligan under the guise of art?

Of course, even in an all-ages version, this scene couldn't be just the three of them sitting dryly on the bed holding hands. There definitely needed to be some relatively ambiguous shots that could showcase the charm of the two girls.

To be precise, although Shinji didn't want to film an R-rated movie, the shots he chose were constantly testing the censorship line.

Shinji had his reasons for doing so.

In his previous life, there was a saying in the commercial film industry about "key dual-element scenes," referring to the two most marketable elements of commercial films – pillow scenes and fist scenes.

"Fist" represents action scenes, and "pillow" represents passionate scenes. These two are always the most powerful weapons for commercial films to attract audiences.

Artoria and Rin had perfectly portrayed the "pillow scene," and what remained was the more important "fist scene" of FSN.

Shinji's performance in the "fist scene" was not as subtly suggestive as in the "pillow scene."

There were no profound philosophies or pretentious methods. Apart from the blood that was restricted due to the rating, sharp, direct, explosions, light pollution... Shinji crammed every element that could boost a person's adrenaline into the "fist scene."

This undoubtedly increased the difficulty of filming action scenes and delayed the filming progress.

However, Shinji cared more about the quality of his first film than speed, and he didn't mind delaying some time to achieve perfection.

Moreover, action scenes are the main part of verifying Magecraft technology in filming. Apart from using Mystic Codes for breast augmentation in the previous drama scenes, Magecraft was hardly used.

Shinji was now putting all his ideas about using Magecraft technology in filming, accumulated over more than a decade in this life, into practice.

Now, all the Magecraft users in the film crew, including Tohsaka Rin and Shirou Emiya, were infusing magic power into pieces of "jewels" at Shinji's request.

The reason the word "jewels" was put in quotation marks was because these were all cheap, artificial gems.

"These inferior things can't even be called jewels," Rin complained in a low voice. "Each one can't store much magic. The kind I wouldn't even want if they were given to me."

"Obviously, if they were incredibly expensive, I wouldn't be using these."

Shinji pursed his lips, then placed some empty jewels in front of Shirou.

"Process these for me too."

"Got it."

Shirou shrugged, picked up a red jewel, and got to work.

Since it was just a simple infusion of magic power, so direct and crude as to be almost effortless, even a magecraft novice like Shirou could easily pick it up after Rin's five-minute demonstration. His only drawback was speed compared to others.

"Why do you need so many inferior jewels?" Rin asked Shinji, examining a jewel. "This kind of trash can only store a little magic; it feels insufficient for anything."

Shinji directly explained, "Explosives for filming."

The filming explosion points used loose soil, not requiring particularly strong power. These explosives, just a bit stronger than firecrackers, were perfect.

"These things are good value for money, and you don't need special wiring to detonate them. You just need to find a few mages to infuse magic power, and they can be used. They have almost no downsides."

Shinji exclaimed, "It's simply the perfect combination of modern technology and ancient magecraft, the peak product of pragmatism. The fact that I could think of this makes me a true genius."

"It's just waste recycling, if you ask me."

Rin snorted, her nose in the air.

Influenced by her father, Tokiomi Tohsaka, Rin's attitude towards magecraft was relatively traditional. In her eyes, magecraft was sacred, and Shinji's mercenary behavior was nothing short of blasphemy.

Shinji, however, was indifferent. Compared to the Root of All Things pursued by those pedantic mages, he cared more about the practicality of magecraft.

In his opinion, since mystery had already faded and no new mages had appeared in nearly a hundred years, tirelessly pursuing the Root was meaningless. It was better to focus on reality.

"Rin, you need to understand that magecraft is, in the end, just a tool. You can't view it too highly. It's like the chopsticks you use to eat; its purpose is to help you eat."
