Kamiyagawa: "Mr. Miyake, I sympathize with your plight. But I need to talk to you about something now, huh...... I think that's a very important thing to do. ”

"Ah......h

Chiaki Miyake became more and more panicked.

Here it comes.

That should be the focus of this conversation.

Ever since Miyake woke up, he'd been thinking about it, especially now that he's seen the terrifying scene of hell in the living room, he's even more convinced of this through his brain-

This self-proclaimed demon king Mr. Kamiyagawa definitely didn't save his two brothers because of his simple kindness.

The cost of saving lives can be heavy.

But what Miyake didn't understand was what value did such a newborn, incomparably weak strange talk have to this Kamiya-sama?

Could it be that this Kamiya-sama wants to make some kind of terrifying deal with him to sacrifice his soul?

"Mr. Miyake?"

"I'm sorry, I'm distracted, please say."

"Well, that's right. What are Mr. Miyake's plans for the future? ”

"In the future, it will exist as a strange story...... Later? ”

"Yes."

"I don't know." Mr. Miyake was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "When I was alive, my wish was to become one of the top writers and scriptwriters in Japan. But I didn't think my life was so short that I had a lot of things I didn't have time to do. And now, it's a strange story...... I don't really know what I'm supposed to do anymore. ”

"Top writers and scriptwriters, very good ideals."

"Don't make fun of me, Kamiya-sama." The writer smiled wryly.

Kamiyagawa: ......

No, why do the two brothers of the three houses always regard their sincere praise as ridicule?

Is there something wrong with the tone of my speech?

After a pause of two seconds, Kamiya could only add, "I really think so. ”

"But that kind of thing has nothing to do with me anymore."

"Not necessarily, right?"

"Huh?" Miyake Chi showed a very surprised look, he never expected Kamiya to say this.

"I don't think you have a problem with not being able to hold a pen or type on a keyboard."

"If you don't become a spirit...... It is indeed possible to do those things as usual. ”

"Isn't that it? You can still try to be a great writer. ”

"But ......"

Chiaki Miyake opened her mouth.

However, as a weird story or a ghost, isn't it a bit too unprofessional to develop as an outstanding writer?

But then again, what should be the karma of being a ghost?

"That's what I want to talk to you about. That's right, Mr. Miyake, I'm planning to set up an animation studio, and I urgently need a good scripter to join. So, I want to hire you. As for the remuneration—"

"After becoming a strange story, you should have realized that this world is actually very dangerous. And to put it a little offensively, with Mr. Miyake's strength, if you want to survive alone in this world as a weirdo, the situation is not very optimistic, and it can be said that it is very difficult. ”

"So, I'm paying you a blessing and a place to be absolutely safe. In addition, we can discuss in detail the number of requiem candles fixed every month and the number of candles to be rewarded. Oh, you've already touched that kind of candle, and it's good for the growth of weird talk. As far as I know, I am the only one who can provide this special resource on a regular basis at the moment. ”

"Of course, as a strange thing, I can't sign any valid employment contract with you. But you don't need to worry too much about that, everyone in this room can show up and say that they can prove that I never treat my own people badly. ”

Kamiyagawa finally tried to meet the dagger and told his true purpose.

Recruitment, co-optation, hiring.

Anyway, that's what it's all about, no matter how you understand it.

"You want to start an animation studio?"

Chiaki Miyake never expected that this seemingly invincible demon lord would make such a request.

"Well, the specific reasons are a bit complicated. The main purpose of my studio is not to make money, it's like this, and after growing up as an Aragami, I need to believe in it......"

Kamiyagawa didn't hide it, and was open and honest.

The relationship between Aragami, shrines, and beliefs is briefly explained, and it is especially explained that the way in which the Aragami under his command obtains faith is different from that of traditional gods.

He spoke in great detail, and Mr. Writer could roughly understand the connection after listening to it.

So, this is the true purpose of this Demon King.

Chiaki Miyake didn't expect that his value to Kamiyagawa would be reflected in this aspect.

Although work is in a sense, it is equivalent to giving the soul to the boss.

But it's much better than a real soul deal, and it's paid, and you'll get special resources that are beneficial to the weird talk, and you'll even get shelter.

Any strange tale of this Kamiya-sama's subordinates is not lost to the funeral, and is even far stronger than the strength of the funeral, and it will undoubtedly be very safe to be blessed by him.

He is the undisputed heavyweight.

Kamiyagawa: "Because it's a hire, you have the right to think about it, but it's best not to keep me waiting too long." ”

"I don't think I need to think about it anymore." Chiaki Miyake shook his head, "I can't think of any reason to refuse. ”

How strong the strength of the Kamiya Group is, Mr. Writer has already seen it.

According to past social experience, there is really no need for such a big man to deceive himself into such a small role.

Whether it's the blessing of safety or that special candle resource, these things are attractive and precious to Chiaki Miyake, but they are actually nothing to Kamiya.

Chiaki Miyake feels that since he is valuable, he does not have to worry about the benefits in this area not being implemented.

Moreover, it seems good to be able to continue to pursue the ideals of life without any worries after becoming a strange story?

As he himself said, he really couldn't think of any reason to refuse the conditions offered by Kamiya.

"That's for the best, nice to work with, Mr. Miyake."

Kamiya smiled and held out his hand to Miyake.

The latter was slightly stunned, then took Kamiya's hand and shook it slightly.

When the two sides shake hands—

Miyake: "By the way, Kamiya-sama, my brother he?" ”

Kamiya: "Yasuta Miyake is in the hospital right now, and his life is not in danger. I can always take you to see him if you want."

"Thank you, really...... Thank you very much. ”

Although he was unable to sign an employment contract, since then, Chiaki Miyake, the script creator who was considered to have a promising future during his lifetime, has officially joined the Kamiya forces as a non-combatant.

Congratulations.

……

Live Fish Lodge.

Not long after visiting his brother, Chiaki Miyake was brought here by Kamiyagawa on the Rutsuki train.

Mr. Writer is quite dedicated, and after confirming that his brother is okay, he took the initiative to start his creative work.

Maybe writing as a weird story is also a relatively novel experience for him.

However, the writer also tactfully proposed to the current boss that he was used to living alone, and wanted to have an absolutely quiet and completely undisturbed environment when creating.

And Kamiya's home comes and goes, and it doesn't quite meet his needs.

Kamiyagawa is the boss of the self-caring employees, and these things are understandable in his opinion.

Writers, only responsible for writing good works, as for the hardware conditions of creation, the boss will find a way to settle.

The Live Fish Hotel is a great place to create.

There are plenty of rooms here, and a deluxe room in a secluded spot is given to Mr. Writer so that he can not be disturbed by any slight noise.

Moreover, the hostel is safe enough.

The original weird talk that existed here, without reason and with a strong desire to attack, had already been dealt with last year.

In addition, the person who actually controls the hotel now is the general under Kamiya, the Seven Imperial Fronts.

The Imperial Warriors have the combat power level of Aragami in the hotel, and they can also make use of the intricate spatial rules here.

With them in charge, the Live Fish Hotel naturally became one of the few safe zones controlled by Kamiyagawa in the Sato World.

In addition to this, Kamiya also put a lot of thought into arranging his room facilities for Mr. Miyake.

Tables, chairs, paper and pens are available in the hotel itself, so you don't need to worry too much.

But as a writer in the new era, computers are also a necessary tool for production.

In order to obtain a usable computer in the world of Satoyagawa, Kamiyagawa asked Toshima Oishi and the others to go to Akihabara and move the usable equipment from Satoru's original residence to the hotel.

Not to mention, Satoru's collectibles in the wild state before were quite useful.

Her computer can even connect to a real-world network.

I still remember that in the past, Satoru could also communicate with real people through communication devices in the inner world.

As for what the principle is, Kamiya can't understand it, so it can only be said that it is a "ghost signal", "ghost IP" or something.

Anyway, it's very convenient, and you can even sneak away without paying network fees.

With a pen and paper, and all the tools a writer needs to work, Mr. Miyake was able to stay at the hotel while he was creating.

"Mr. Miyake, what's going on here? If there is anything else I need, I'll figure it out. ”

In the luxurious room of the inn assigned to the writer, Kamiya casually pulled a chair and sat down.

Chiaki Miyake was standing beside him, constantly looking at the situation in the room, and finally nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, Kamiya-sama." I feel like I can work here now. ”

"I'll be preparing for the establishment of the studio in the near future, and it will definitely help you if you can start writing scripts now."

"Kamiya-sama, is there anything else you want to confirm with me about the direction of the script?"

"Hmm...... It's pretty much the same as what I told you before. The script you're creating now features Miss Mary as the main character. Because of the faith I told you and so on, the character of Mary in the script has to be related to joy, anger, and good fortune. ”

"I understand, it's a story with a weird story."

"Then among the main characters, there is a dream-eating tapir, and the key elements are dreams and panic. It doesn't matter if you set it as Mary's companion or Mary's enemy. The important thing is that the character settings of Mary and Dream Eater Tapir must have memory points and make the audience impressed. ”

Kamiyagawa's only custom requirement for the script is also reflected in the character setting.

This first anime project is centered on Mary and the tapir who are already working at the shrine.

Kamiyagawa: "Some of the book references you may use in the creative process, I have asked the Wenche Demon Concubine to scan and transfer them to your computer, and you can contact me if you need anything else." In the afternoon, I'll take the demon concubine to the strategy room.,There's a lot of records of strange events.,I'll let her sort out some non-confidential ones.,And then pass them on to you.,You can use it as a blueprint for plot creation.。 ”

Although the demon concubine Wenche has just been born, she has now fully taken on the work of Kamiyagawa's personal secretary.

Perhaps it was the innate advantage of the birth of the book, and the secretarial work was handled very well by the demon concubine, and she couldn't find any fault.

It's true that he shared most of the daily chores for Kamiya.

"You've thought it through." Chiaki Miyake nodded again.

"Then let's do it first, I won't bother you. If you have other needs, you can also contact the Seven Imperial Front, they are the controllers here, and I have already brought you to know them just now. As soon as you shout, there should be a royal front to your room, they are the masters of the place, in a sense, everywhere - expect you to create a refreshing script. ”

Kamiya didn't stay in the writer's room for long, and left after explaining the matter.

And for Chiaki Miyake, the current boss is also quite good.

He didn't dictate anything about his creation, except for the two main characters, other creative content gave him a lot of autonomy.

The writer sat down at the freshly set desk in the room and looked around again.

Seriously, it's a nice environment.

In fact, some writers in the industry, in the process of creation, do not choose to stay at home, or stay in the club, but live in a resort hotel.

First, you won't be disturbed at all, and secondly, you don't have to worry about daily life and diet.

Even, in Chiaki Miyake's memory, it seems that there is a prison in Melbourne that rents out cells for writers' creations.

It can be regarded as the author paying money to forcibly lock himself in a real dark room, physically eliminating all realistic factors that affect his creation.

Chiaki Miyake turned on the computer on his desk, which looked a little old.

He did receive a data package.

After unzipping, the folders inside are categorized and clearly organized, with very carefully scanned reference books, as well as other electronic documents that record strange stories.

There's even a folder with video stuff in it.

The name of that folder is "Mary Image Reference".

Click on it and take a look, it seems to be a slice of a virtual anchor's live broadcast -

Mary-chan, a new urban weird talk anchor.

Among the many videos, there is also a notepad:

[It has been confirmed that the copyright of the virtual anchor image is completely in the hands of the owner.] As long as it does not affect the authority setting of joy and anger and good luck, Mr. Miyake is free to refer to the appearance or personality traits of the virtual anchor to construct the image of Mary in the script. ]

"A virtual streamer?"

Chiaki Miyake couldn't help but laugh.

Perhaps this was also a way for the Lord to spread Mary's faith?

What Kamiya-sama did seemed to be as interesting as he imagined.

After watching the "Mary sauce" slice for a while, Mr. Writer took a pen and wrote and drew on the paper at will to record his inspiration.

"Kamiya-sama's request has to do with spreading the faith, and I can roughly understand that. But under the hands of that adult, I didn't see the urban legend Miss Mary, did she not appear? ”

Also, Miss Mary needed a new image setting, joy, anger, and good fortune, which was very different from the original urban legend. How can we make it easier for the audience to accept this and be impressed......"

"In other words, joy, anger and good luck, is there really such a combination of gods and powers?"

Mr. Writer also opened the reference book folder, which contained a collection of books about Japanese gods and books about gods from other countries.

Very detailed.

According to the search catalogue made by the demon concubine of Wenche, Chiaki Miyake picked and searched for a while, and really found a god who roughly fits this point.

The Great Black Sky in the Seven Lucky Gods.

A deity of Indian origin, in Hinduism is an incarnation of Shiva.

And here in Japan, it is the god of blessing, who looks at all beings with loving eyes and has a sea of longevity.

At the same time, Daikokuten is also a killing god with anger, and he is in charge of the function of driving away bad luck and killing evil spirits.

"There are some similarities between this image and the image of Miss Mary that Kamiya-sama asked me to create, and I can consider using this as a basis for a second creation."

"In the script, Mary's image should be cute, so that the audience can like this character at a glance...... The personality traits of that virtual anchor can be referred to, the female ghost is quite marketable now, but she can't be too annoying, so she has to set a little soft characteristics...... Mary when she spreads joy and good fortune, and Mary when she punishes evil spirits, can change greatly in appearance...... Or simply two different personalities......"

Mr. Writer is in working mode, and he has a preliminary idea in his head.

He plans to create a royal story with Miss Mary as the protagonist, mainly telling the story of Miss Mary, who has a special god background, in the world where humans and ghosts coexist, spreading joy and good fortune, and punishing the wicked and evil.

It unfolds in the structure of a unit plot, with several episodes as a length, and each length uses a different kind of weird story as the theme.

"Dream Eater Tapir...... Set as the ultimate villain of the main story? Fear, dreams...... Appearance...... The mature and evil royal sister can be contrasted with the appearance of the protagonist Miss Mary Lori...... It seems to be a little different from Kamiya-sama's Dream Eater Tapir, but the Lord said that as long as the name corresponds to the authority, and it is memorable...... Let me think about ...... again."

In fact, Mr. Miyake's initial image of Mary is completely different from the Mary of the Kamiya family.

But this is not a big problem, as long as the name and authority are matched, and the impression is made, the corresponding shrine can be functional.

Phew.

As the ideas and outline content continued to be written on paper, Chiaki Miyake also wrote down the name of the theme of this work that had just come to mind.
