The filming of Xiaoli Mountain came to an end temporarily with the arrival of Iizuka and the departure of Waba.

The last scene on the screen was the scar on Kenshin's left cheek that had not shed blood for a long time, and blood was pouring out uncontrollably again.

At this moment Kenshin finally knew.

In that alley full of camellias, the nameless young man who made a stab wound on his face with his stubborn obsession to "live on" was actually the dead fiancé mentioned in Ba's mouth.

The blood spilled from the scar infected Xuedaba's memory.

With his obsession with Tomoe and Iizuka's deliberate guidance, Kenshin began to walk towards the snow-capped mountains.

There, waiting for him was not only Tomoe, but also Annotake, who had already set many traps.

"The crew will have a day off tomorrow, and I will rearrange the rest."

Back in the small village, Wei Gong found a relatively spacious place and held a small meeting.

"The movie has almost entered the finalization stage. I think everyone knows about the fourth episode because we had already shot the second half of the episode when we were in Kyoto, so there is actually not much to film, although the middle part

There are a few fighting scenes mixed in, but overall it’s not difficult. With the current state of our crew, I believe the filming will be completed soon.”

"We started shooting in early July and have been shooting for almost two months now. This is a very good shooting speed, but I don't think everyone has forgotten that in the past we focused on shooting character dramas, so

In terms of scenery and the blending of characters and scenery, the processing is not very good."

"Details determine success or failure. The movie "Rurouni Kenshin" is a joint effort between me and everyone. I think everyone is definitely not willing to just take this movie out to the world, so we still have a lot of tasks to do now."

It’s arduous, and we have to handle the details.”

"I have roughly recorded the parts that need polishing in the computer file. However, there is one thing I want to explain first. I will be temporarily away from the crew for the next three days, so..."

When Wei Gong said this, his words suddenly stopped.

He scanned the crowd in front of him and finally landed on Sakamoto.

Sakamoto looked at Emiya's hopeful eyes, wondering what he was thinking.

After thinking for a moment, Sakamoto nodded.

Emiya breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was very happy, he still said with a serious expression: "During my absence, Sakamoto-kun will serve as the acting supervisor, and at the same time, Matou Shinji will serve as the assistant."

"ha?!"

Matou Shinji almost jumped up from his stool, staring at Emiya with a puzzled look on his face.

Emiya smiled calmly.

"Please, Sakamoto, and Shinji."

"I see."

Sakamoto pushed up his glasses slightly and nodded, indicating that he accepted the matter.

On the side, Matou Shinji's expression changed.

He used to work in the field management team. Generally speaking, he was in a position that was insignificant to the entire crew, so he was able to take nearly a month's leave from Emiya for a vague reason.

Matou Shinji, who had been observing the work of the entire crew from a third-person perspective, was not quite able to understand why Emiya insisted on staying in the crew.

Now, Matou Shinji was even more confused.

This guy, what kind of medicine is he selling in the gourd...

There was a moment of silence, seeing that the crew members were all waiting for his answer.

Matou Shinji just hummed twice as a response.

After finishing the meeting.

Emiya, Sakamoto, Tohsaka Rin and others who stayed behind began to explain things.

"Sakamoto-kun, I will send you the information later. In addition to the text description, I have also designed the storyboards. There are also spare parts. You can make the appropriate choice based on the situation. Based on your ability,

I believe there will be no problem."

Sakamoto-kun smiled lightly and said, "I'll do my best."

"I know, Sakamoto-kun, you don't really want to take on this task, but you also know that you are the only most suitable candidate in the crew now."

Just when Emiya was about to say something else, a familiar male voice suddenly sounded from behind.

"What did you mean by that just now?"

"Hey, Shinji."

Emiya turned his head and looked at Shinji Matou who appeared out of nowhere with a smile.

"You disappeared just after the meeting. I thought you were so calm now."

Matou Shinji said with a straight face: "Stop talking nonsense, just tell me what you just meant. Why do you want me to be Sakamoto's assistant?"

"What's going on?"

Emiya was 'surprised' and said: "Is it possible that you want to be the acting supervisor now?"

Matou Shinji didn't reply, still staring at Emiya.

"…All right."

Emiya didn't intend to sell it off and explained directly: "I have to tell you something first. You don't know much about Sakamoto-kun yet."

"Um?"

Sakamoto raised his head.

"Sakamoto-kun, your ideal will not allow you to stay on the set for the rest of your life, right?"

Emiya looked at the silent Sakamoto and said with a smile: "What you yearn for is the sea of ​​stars above your head, and you want to go to that mysterious space field in person. Didn't you tell me these things?"

"..."

Sakamoto looked directly at Emiya and nodded after a long time.

Emiya continued: "Because of your talent, I temporarily pulled you into the crew as a friend. Although you have never said it, I know that one day you will leave here to pursue your dream.

And keep fighting.”

When Sakamoto saw Emiya, his eyes suddenly became serious, and the smile gradually disappeared from his face.

"Sakamoto, you treat me as a friend and have silently helped me for such a long time. But as a friend, I am not a shackle to restrain you. If one day the opportunity comes, you can leave with peace of mind. This crew will always be yours.

s home."

Emiya-kun…

Sakamoto let out a breath and nodded.

Emiya smiled heartily, and then glanced at Tohsaka Rin, Matou Sakura, Okita Koji, Matou Shinji and others one by one.

"Like Sakamoto, I brought you into the crew in the name of friends. To be honest, I have selfish motives, but I can't ignore your feelings, so one day in the future, you want to leave this crew.

Yes, don’t feel restricted, you also know my character very well, so just tell me.”

"What are you talking about?" Tohsaka Rin pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "It was you who insisted on dragging me into the crew and told me that there was a role that was set for me. Up to now, my role

I haven’t even seen the settings yet, and you want to drive me away?”

"This...of course that's not what I meant..."

Emiya scratched his head.

Next to her, Matou Sakura covered her mouth and chuckled, her tender eyes focused on Emiya.

"Senior, I don't have any ideals that I want to realize. If possible, just let me stay here."

In this case, I can always be by your side...

Okita Koji, who had been silent until now, raised his hand and said with a smile: "Hey, there's me too! Although my ideal is to become the world's number one swordsman, but..."

Okita Koji touched his nose and expressed embarrassment.

"I feel that I am still far away from this ideal. I have no idea whether I will have the chance to realize it in this life..."

Okita Koji's tone became lower and lower.

Just when the people around her couldn't hear clearly what she was saying, Okita Koji suddenly became energetic, and even the dull hair on his head shook a little.

"But! I found that being in the crew does not affect me from realizing my ideals. Here, I can also practice my swordsmanship. When I can do both, I didn't leave without leaving. Besides..."

Besides, didn't you also say that?

Is there a role that I still need to play... How could I just leave...

The girls expressed their thoughts one by one. Matou Shinji remained silent until they all finished speaking before he turned his attention to Emiya again.

Similarly, Emiya also looked over.

Matou Shinji said calmly: "First of all, I don't have to stay in this crew. There is only one reason for staying here, and that is because of my sister."

"elder brother…"

Matou Shinji stretched out his hand to stop Matou Sakura's words.

Looking back at Qing's smoothed edges, he rarely stopped his sister in such a tough way.
To be continued...
