Part 4
“Okay, this is the location!”
I was forced to come to an abandoned factory where the crew was preparing to shoot, and the actors had already gathered.
“N-no, even if you say it’s a filming location… I don’t have any acting experience…”
“Don’t worry, don’t worry! There are others in this movie who are also acting for the first time, and most importantly, the role you’re playing is that of a silent assassin. So there are no lines, and you don’t even have to act! All you have to do is perform the action scenes as I direct you!”
“E-Even if you say that…”
Even if I was told that I didn’t have to worry about lines or acting, I was sure we still had to have a detailed discussion about the action scenes beforehand, and it was not something that someone like me could do so easily.
Anyway, I had to refuse it no matter what!
Just as I was thinking this…
“Huh? Yuuya-san?!”
“Huh? Miu-san?!”
I looked in the direction of the voice, and to my surprise, it was the top model Miu-san!
As I was surprised by her unexpected appearance, Miu-san came running over to me.
“Why are you here, Yuuya-san?”
“W-well, I was… I was forced to come here…”
“Eh?”
While Miu-san was confused by my words, the director spoke up.
“What, you know Miu?”
“Y-yes.”
“Well, that makes things easier. This time, we wanted to make a scene where you save Miu. Besides, Miu is just like you──this is her first experience in acting, you know?”
“Is that so?”
Of course, Miu-san was a model, not an actress.
As I thought this, Miu-san looked embarrassed.
“Yes, that’s right. However, the president told me to consider acting instead of just modeling…”
“Huh?”
That president seemed to be as forceful as ever.
While I was thinking about it, Miu-san continued.
“To be honest, I was worried about acting for the first time, but as long as Yuuya-san is with me, I’ll be fine!”
“Eh?”
For some reason, Miu-san looked at me with complete trust.
This was not a good development at all!
“I-in the first place, is it okay for me to appear in the movie all of a sudden?”
Yes, since it’s a movie, there must be a script and things that have already been filmed.
Even so, would the movie be able to make it if I, a completely unknown existence, suddenly appeared?
When I said this, the director grinned.
“Don’t worry about that. We’ve already adjusted the script for you and finished filming.”
“Eh?”
“So once we’ve filmed the scene with you, the movie will be complete. On the other hand… if you don’t appear in the movie, all the filming we’ve done so far will have been for nothing.”
“S-so that’s it…”
I realized that any way out for me was completely cut off.
Once he said that, there was no way I could refuse.
“I understand. But I’ve never done anything like this before, so please forgive me if I can’t do it.”
“That’s not a problem! As long as you follow my instructions, everything will be perfect. Now that we’ve finalized everything, let’s start filming right away! And Miu, I’m counting on you too!”
“Okay…! See you later, Yuuya-san!”
The director nodded in satisfaction and left, and Miu-san also went to prepare for the filming.
I watched her go and sighed.
“Hah… How did it come to this…?”
“Excuse me…”
“Hmm?”
Then I was suddenly called.
I turned my head in the direction of the voice, and there was Olivia-san.
“You are…”
“I’m Olivia, the person you helped the other day. Thank you for your help.”
“N-no! I’m glad you’re okay.”
“Thanks to you, I’m okay. Um… may I ask your name?”
“Ah, I-I’m Yuuya.”
“Yuuya-san… my name is Olivia. At that time, I was ready to die. But thanks to you, I was saved and am able to continue working as an actress. Thank you so much.”
I was completely overwhelmed by Olivia-san, who kept bowing to me.
Then Olivia-san looked at me with a strange expression on her face.
“By the way, why are you here this time?”
“Well, the director forced me to come… it seems I have to appear in the action scene after this.”
“I see. That’s why the director suddenly changed the script and the shooting scene…”
When I heard what Olivia-san said, I felt bad.
“I’m sorry, it’s my fault…”
“Oh, no! Don’t worry about it! If he saw Yuuya-san’s moves, it’s no wonder the director did that!”
I wonder if that was the case.
“Besides, everyone is looking forward to seeing Yuuya-san’s action. Look.”
“Eh?”
When Olivia-san prompted me, I looked around and saw the film crew looking at me and talking in whispers.
“That guy…”
“I saw the video; it was really amazing, wasn’t it?”
“Wasn’t that CG?”
“Of course not! I was on the set!”
“Wow, I can’t believe I get to see those moves again…”
“The director was looking for it all the time.”
Is that… a welcome sign?
I’m not sure, but for the moment, the atmosphere was not tense.
As I continued my conversation with Olivia-san, I was finally called out by the director.
“Ah, well, I’m off then.”
“Yes, I’m looking forward to it!”
Ugh… I don’t want you to look forward to it…
There was nothing more I could do, and I walked up to the director, full of fear.
“Well, as I said before… In this scene, I want you to save Miu.”
“Y-yes.”
“As for how you rescue her… do whatever you want.”
“…..Eehh?!”
What did you just say? Do whatever I want?
The director smiles at me, who has stopped thinking.
“Listen, all you have to do is save Miu. As long as you do that, it doesn’t matter how you do the rest.”
“Eh, what? You’re not going to give me instructions…?”
“This is the instruction.”
Right?
The director continued speaking while I remained speechless.
“Well, I’ve thought about it a lot. I think it’ll be more interesting if you move freely in the scene…”
“No way! For action scenes, you need to have a meeting with the other person beforehand and practice, right?”
“Oh, don’t worry about that. This time, you won’t be working with anyone other than Miu.”
“Eh?”
As I was surprised by the words I was not expecting at all, the director continued to explain.
“In this scene, you will rescue Miu from an abandoned factory. However, the factory is engulfed in flames and will collapse at any moment. In other words, I want you to rescue Miu from a collapsing building.”
“I see…”
So I didn’t need to practice the scene with anyone…?
“So I just rescue Miu-san, who is being held captive in the factory, in the usual way?”
“That’s the simple version, but of course, it wouldn’t be very interesting. So, I want you to rescue Miu in a spectacular way, just like you did with Olivia, by skillfully avoiding or kicking away things like building materials that are falling from the ceiling.”
“Huh?”
I wonder what kind of fake building materials and debris they’re going to use?
Well, I’m sure they’ve taken safety into consideration…
Anyway, I was relieved that it looked like a scene that would be much easier to shoot than an action scene with someone else.
Then the director got a serious look on his face.
“However, since it’s a big scene, we can’t film it more than once. Please understand.”
“I-I understand.”
Ugh… I can’t handle this kind of pressure…
However, there was no point in complaining, so I steeled myself.
