Just As Harsh As The World Of...

Zzz…… Zzz…
Ah! … Did I fall asleep again? Even though I was supposed to be polishing my swordsmanship…
This just goes to show that I’ve grown relaxed. I should apologize to my old man… Huh?
|
*chatter chatter talking talking*
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
What’s going on? It’s pretty noisy over there.
|
 Vil
Vil 
|
Now, all of you sitting around all carefree, it’s time to move over. I will be using this location for filming.
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
You’re the Pomefiore dorm leader…
|
 Vil
Vil 
|
Vil Schoenheit. And you must be… Malleus’ attendant.
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
Silver. All this ruckus… Did you say you were filming?
|
 Vil
Vil 
|
Correct. It’ll be new movie produced by the Movie Appreciation Club. A Gothic Horror that uses this school as its stage.
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
Well, I was in the middle of training here too. It’s a bother if you just decided to start monopolizing the courtyard.
|
 Vil
Vil 
|
What a shame. I already got the headmaster’s permission, after all. Well, rather than that, you…
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
What? You got a problem?…
|
 Vil
Vil 
|
Oh, it’s possible… No, even more than possible!
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
… Huh?
|
 Vil
Vil 
|
Those aurora-colored eyes, that sharp nose, those contoured lips… You might not compare to me, but it’s certainly not bad either.
I’ve decided. Star in my movie.
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
… What!?
|
 Vil
Vil 
|
I was worried since one of the cast members fell sick all of the sudden, so this is perfect timing.
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
I refuse. I’m in the middle of training my swordsmanship. And to start with, I can’t even act.
|
 Vil
Vil 
|
Rest assured. You might be featured, but you’re no more than an extra. There’ll be no lines for you to remember.
It’s fine to just stand there with that cool face.
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
But…
|
 Vil
Vil 
|
Oh, Is that a refusal? You got some nerve talking back to your seniors.
It appears that Malleus is pretty awful at teaching you Diasomnia students some manners.
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
(Hng…. Is he saying that by refusing I’ll damage Malleus-sama’s name?)
….. If I must. I will do my best.
|
 Vil
Vil 
|
All right. Let’s start filming.
It’s a tense scene in which the main character’s best friend gets attacked by a ghost. You’ll be playing the role of a random student who happens to be there too.
Well then, let’s start! — ACTION!
|
Random screaming, panic and commotion noises in the background throughout this scene
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
(I got wrapped up in a pretty weird situation. Well, for the time being, it’s fine if I just stand here without moving, right?)
(…. However…. this filming is so boring….. far too boring, I’ll start to…. become drowsy… again….)
Zzz…….
|
 Vil
Vil 
|
CUUUUT! CUT, CUT!!!
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
… Huh.
|
 Vil
Vil 
|
Extra N.1! Did I ask you to play the role of sleeping beauty?
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
Huh? Aah… But you said, “it’s fine to just stand there”.
|
 Vil
Vil 
|
… You. Would you honestly not have a single reaction when a student is getting bitten by a ghost before your very eyes?
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
I see. So it was that kind of scene?….
|
 Vil
Vil 
|
Do it properly next time.
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
Aah, I’ll see what I can do.
|
 Vil
Vil 
|
Take 2. Action!
|
Timeskip
|
 Vil
Vil 
|
CUT! You reacted too fast! Don’t act surprised when the ghost hasn’t even appeared yet.
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
I see. I should act surprised after the ghost appears.
|
 Vil
Vil 
|
Don’t make me say it over and over again. Take 3. Action!
|
Timeskip
|
 Vil
Vil 
|
Cuuuuut! You’re too late this time! How can one person be this bad at keeping pace!
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
P, pace…?
|
 Vil
Vil 
|
… I wonder if you’re actively trying to make me despair…. Take 4, action!
|
Timeskip
|
 Vil
Vil 
|
….. On the contrary, it’s really quite incredible… You don’t have even a crumb of talent… Are you just some pretty-faced scarecrow standing about? …
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
I already told you that I can’t act.
I’m Malleus-sama’s guard. Make-believe and acting is not something I do…
|
 Vil
Vil 
|
….. Right. I get it. Well then, here, take this, your next role.
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
… A script? You told me there’d be no lines.
|
 Vil
Vil 
|
I did. This part doesn’t come with lines either. The only thing you need to do is ride a horse through the courtyard.
As Malleus’ guard, I expect at least this much should come naturally to you.
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
Naturally.
|
 Vil
Vil 
|
Good. Then this time I will expect a one-shot homerun from you.
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
Then I should ride this horse? Got it.
|
 Vil
Vil 
|
ACTION!
|

Silver

– Hah!
…
( I feel like I can ride pretty well, but I cannot afford to bring shame upon Malleus-sama.)
(I have to play this role perfectly.)
(…. There it is! The school’s entrance. Well then, starting from here…)
Increase my speed… Go from a canter, to a gallop, and—
(— Ready my sword!)
|
 Vil
Vil 
|
…..! CUT!!!
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
Hah…
|
 Vil
Vil 
|
Bravo! What incredible intensity! You can do it if you try!
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
Well, that’s because this is no different from what I normally do… By the way, what role was I playing this time?
|
 Vil
Vil 
|
The Headless Horseman that rides through the scene.
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
The headless horseman?….
|
 Vil
Vil 
|
It’s a waste, but we’ll have to remove your head in post-production. Still, your movements really brought the role to life…
It was a good shot. You may have some talent as a stuntman.
|
 Silver
Silver 
|
I see. You won’t go compromise or go easy even on a single supporting role… The world of showbusiness is just as harsh as the world of martial arts…
