"You can contact me if you need any photoshoots in the future~"

"Will do."

"But let's focus on getting the final filming done first."

Sato laughed.

Yakushimaru was worrying for nothing, since he still has the Guardian Knight skill, and he'll definitely contact the other party again when he takes pictures.

Chapter 213 Going Home?

"Okay!"

Yakushimaru gave a coquettish remark, then pulled the boy forward.

"Then you'd better teach me well!"

"Ah."

Sato nodded in agreement.

This movie was released around the same time as "Project A," so it's about the same age.

Fortunately, Project A was released domestically first, and it will take some time before it can be imported.

There's no need to worry about the collision between the two films affecting the release of "Satomi Hakkenden".

Of course, it's not to say that there was no impact at all, since when "Project A" was released, "Satomi Hakkenden" was probably still showing in theaters.

However, at least they avoided a direct confrontation.

As Sato pondered this, the two continued their practice smoothly.

Yakushimaru's fight scenes are not complicated; there is only one segment where he skillfully dodges attacks while being surrounded.

In terms of action design, there is actually no aesthetic appeal; on the contrary, it highlights Yakushimaru's disheveled and helpless state.

It sounds simple, but to convey the danger, we still need to rehearse more.

Even though it's a prop, it can still hurt if you accidentally get hit by it.

Not to mention that poor filming could slow down the progress.

While the two were practicing, time quickly passed and it was time for the main show the next day.

Sato returned to this familiar film set once again.

Yakushimaru was preparing in the center of the set, while Sato was outside acting as a temporary action director.

"Sato-san, do you think this filming will go smoothly?"

Looking at Yakushimaru's nervous expression on stage, even her manager seemed unusually tense.

"No problem."

Is that so?

The manager, who had expected Sato to say something, was surprised that the other party only said this one sentence.

However, given Sato's confirmation and the other party's identity, his tension inexplicably eased somewhat.

To be honest, it was really wrong of me to have doubts about such a fine young man as Sato in the past.

Thanks to Sato's skills, the boy's reputation at Kadokawa is steadily rising.

While this reputation might not be enough to make them ignore the benefits and unconditionally side with him, it was sufficient.

"By the way, about the investment?"

The agent changed the subject and asked.

"Of course, your assistance is very welcome."

The more funding the better, although it also means that the pie will be divided among more people, but Sato's goal for this film has never been domestic.

More investment means more detailed filming and more funds for promotion.

As long as the quality is up to par, the investment in advertising will be directly proportional to the future returns.

Of course, this is all predicated on quality.

Therefore, Sato himself was not entirely without an element of gambling.

However, the rewards outweigh the risks, so it's still acceptable.

Next, we'll see how Xiaochuan's negotiations with those publicity companies go.

Upon hearing this, the agent also laughed.

"That's great!"

As the two were talking, Sato looked at the girl who had finished preparing ahead and silently shared his skills with her.

He didn't want the other person to get hurt, and the better the filming results, the more advantageous it would be for him.

Just after Sato shared his skills, filming officially began.

Sato's shared sensitivity and skill were a perfect fit for this shoot.

Under the influence of the skill, the girl was now moving with even greater agility than during her previous practice.

Even though the movements were ones they had practiced many times before, the way they performed them surprised the staff and supervisors around them.

Even the manager, who had been about to grab Sato and say something more, was stunned.

I never expected Yakushimaru to be so powerful.

He transcended the idea that the other person was not good at sports.

And the one who deserves the credit most is probably Sato.

Thinking of this, the agent's gaze also turned towards the young man.

Sato, with a smile on his lips and an air of complete control, further convinced the manager.

The other person is a hardcore free solo climber, so it's not surprising that the girl could improve in such a short time.

This further solidified the agent's idea of ​​strengthening cooperation with Sato.

Meanwhile, Yakushimaru herself, who was running around in circles, did not forget to act. Her face maintained the panic required by the script, while her heart was filled with shock.

She herself did not expect that she would suddenly improve so much when it came to the main part of the show.

With that in mind, Yakushimaru glanced at Sato, who was not far away, without affecting the filming.

The boy remained calm, though he was somewhat disappointed, but he quickly realized something.

Could it be that it was because of him?

It doesn't seem impossible.

After all, most of the members of Sato's club had similar experiences.

Without losing focus, filming of Yakushimaru continued.

......

"So! Is it because of you!?"

Sato had just returned to the lounge when he was greeted by Yakushimaru.

At this moment, Yakushimaru wiped away her sweat, took a shower, and changed into a denim overall and a white top. Although she was dressed simply, she looked charming and cute, and her body smelled wonderful.

"Maybe it is? Because Yakushimaru was already powerful, and with my encouragement, he became even stronger?"

Sato nodded and said.

"Eh~"

Yakushimaru narrowed his eyes slightly in response to Sato's explanation.

However, since she had no other evidence, this statement does make some sense.

She nodded and didn't think about it anymore.

"So, I'll just follow you from now on, okay?"

"...You don't film action scenes often, it can't be that serious, right?"

Sato said helplessly.

"I can still hire you even if it's not for action scenes!?"

"Well, yes."

Sato did not refuse, despite the other party's enthusiastic manner.

......

Filming here has now come to an end; all that remains is editing and promotion.

As the year draws to a close, Sato's work has become increasingly busy.

"Brother, are you coming home this year?"

After a busy semester, Saori took a rare break and approached Sato, who had just returned home, to ask him a question.
