Chapter 173: Chapter 170 It’s the end of another year
Although Mr. Nanaya didn't seem to be optimistic about Lin Bao's actions, he did not stop them.
After all, what if?
If "Goblin Slayer" could win a few technical awards at the Saturn Awards or the Oscars, it would be a win at least.
Human beings are such creatures, even if the probability is almost 0, they will always have a lucky mentality before the final result comes out.
In order to support the award-winning efforts of "Goblin Slayer" in the United States and Japan, Lin Bao launched the DVD series of "Goblin Slayer".
Yes, the Goblin Slayer DVDs are a series.
Just like what he had promoted to Ori before, he took out the PG-13 and NG-17 versions.
NG-17 has more nude scenes and blood-stained plots, which will be more exciting than the original "Goblin Slayer" for those who like exciting movies.
As for the pg-13 version, Nanaya learned the coding technology of future Japanese new shows and the style of the all-age version of "Deadpool 2".
Not only did they wipe out the blood plasma in the movie, but they also took the initiative to put clothes on the girls who had no clothes on to prevent them from catching a cold.
Nanaya also made some modifications to the scenes where the goblins humiliated the girls.
For example, in the segment about the female martial artist, Nanaye eliminated the shot where her clothes were stripped off, and it ended with her being beaten by the small goblins with sticks after the female martial artist was knocked down by the large goblin.
This makes it seem like the female martial artist was just beaten up by the goblins, unlike in the original version where she received something that was not human.
Although this makes the goblins in Goblin Slayer look like just grumpy old guys in the all-ages version, it's enough for kids.
Of course, Nanaya definitely couldn't just sell all three versions like that.
According to Nanaya's setting, the types of DVDs released for "Goblin Slayer" include the original film simplified version, NG-17 version, PG-13 version, the original film hardcover version (with a setting collection) and the three-in-one set (with a priestess figure).
Nanaya said very considerately that we do this just to allow every guest to choose the version they like.
However, the hardcover edition was released half a month later than the paperback edition, and the set was released half a month later than the hardcover edition, exposing this guy's ill intentions of letting die-hard fans buy the book multiple times.
The fans could only curse Washimine and Lin Bao for being cruel and pay their money in tears.
After all, the setting collection and figures are unique to their respective versions, so if you want them, you can only buy the disc.
"Look at the plan you came up with. We've been criticized a lot recently."
December 28, Tokyo Station.
Shion, who was waiting with Nanaya for everyone to gather, complained to Nanaya while waiting.
Because they were outdoors, Shion wore a checkered scarf, which was very rare.
In the cold wind, the hem of Shion's coat swayed gently.
This gave her a rare youthful air.
"Even if you say so." Nanaya sneered, "But you still made a lot of money, right?"
"yes."
Shion nodded and admitted, "Thanks to you, the final performance of December was good, and everyone can have a peaceful year."
Nanaya hummed, dragging his suitcase and observing the people coming and going around him.
As it is near the end of the year, the station is crowded with people.
Nanaya looked around and saw travelers coming and going everywhere.
There are office workers who are exhausted after a year of work, families of three with smiles on their faces preparing to go out for a New Year trip, and young couples snuggling together and showing their love to each other.
"By the way, why didn't I see Iioka?"
Seeing the couple kissing in public, Nanaya could only turn his head and shift his attention to his companions beside him.
The assistant who had always been following Shion was not here today, so Shion was completely alone.
Shion smiled and replied, "I gave him a holiday. He and I spent the entire first month of last year running around during the Chinese New Year, so I let him take a break this year. Of course, I'm doing the same."
"Go to the countryside to rest. You are really special, young lady."
Nanaya chuckled twice: "Let me make it clear first, my hometown is a really poor mountain valley, don't cry if you are unhappy later."
"How is that possible?"
Shion waved her hands and said, "I'm not that kind of young lady who doesn't know anything. It's okay."
"You are so relaxed." Nanaya deliberately frowned, "Aren't you afraid that I will sell you, a young lady, directly to my hometown village?"
Shion laughed and said, "How could that be? If you are really so courageous, why haven't you touched any woman other than the young lady from Ginza until now? Besides, I don't think you dare to do anything to me when everyone is here."
When Nanaya thought of the large group of people that would be there soon, his face fell.
I have told you countless times that this is just a poor mountain village, why do those young ladies insist on following me home?
If something really happens to these pampered young ladies, I will have to spend time and energy to deal with it.
I really don't know what these people are thinking. Have they watched too many "Party A and Party B" and want to experience poverty like that rich boss?
I just hope these young ladies don't end up turning into weasels that steal chickens from other households.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Nanaya staring at her, Shion raised her lips and said proudly, "Could it be that our wooden director has finally discovered my charm and is ready to confess to me? If you can sell yourself to me, I can consider it."
"No." Nanaya replied calmly, "I was just surprised. I thought you would scream, 'So there is a moving floor!'"
"Hey! Do you really think I'm the kind of young lady who knows nothing?! I do know about automatic platforms! Who of us has no common sense?"
Shion raised her folding fan and tapped it on Nanaya's head.
"Wow! It turns out the floor can move!"
At this time, a cry of surprise came from the side.
This made Nanaya glance at Shion with pride, which clearly meant "there are still people without common sense."
However, Nanaya's pride did not last long, because the person who exclaimed had already rushed towards him.
"Onii-chan, I've discovered this! Watch out, Illya's charging!"
Shion saw a silver-white figure flash by, and then Nanaya was hugged by Illya.
"Oni-chan~Long time no see!"
Illya looked up at Nanaya with admiration, and her eager look made her look like a puppy wagging its tail at its owner.
"Illya-chan~ It's been a long time since we last met!"
Nanaya reached out and touched Illya's little head.
Well, it feels as good as always.
"Kiryuu~"
Before Nanaya could touch for long, Sera appeared behind him like a ghost.
"If you don't let go, I'll kick you right onto the railroad tracks~"
"Sera, this is already considered murder."
Nanaya put down his hand in disappointment. After all, he didn't dare to bet whether the maid was just talking or really prepared to do it.
"I want to eliminate all the pests around the young lady!"
Sera said firmly: "The master and the mistress are not with the young lady, I am the last bulwark of the young lady Illya!"
Nanaya had heard about this matter. This year, Mr. Ryutani Nobuyuki took the initiative to go to the United States to spend the New Year with his daughter and son-in-law.
Illya didn't know how she did it, but she persuaded old man Nobuyuki to stay in Japan and prepare to take Sera and herself to her hometown to celebrate the New Year.
"Hey, Illya."
Shion had a malicious smile on her face, and she seemed ready to tell Illya about how Nanaya had mocked her for marveling at the automatic platform.
"Ah! Ah!"
Nanaya guessed what Shion was going to do and shouted twice. "Illya-chan! This is..."
Nanaya pointed at Illya's neck. There was a small shiny purple object on it.
"Ah, this one."
Illya became a little shy, lowered her head and whispered: "This is the brooch that Onii-chan gave to Illya."
"Um?"
A question mark popped up in Nanaya's head. Why should a good brooch be changed into a pendant?
"I asked Sera to help me modify it." Illya replied with a blushing face, "Because Onii-chan's hometown is in the mountains. It would be troublesome if the brooch fell off accidentally when worn on clothes. This is a very important thing that Onii-chan gave to Illya."
Illya showed the modified pendant to Nanaya: "This way, there will be no problem. The joints between the chain and the pendant are very strong, so it won't be lost."
"Is that so..."
"Is Oni-chan angry?" Illya asked timidly, "Because Illya changed the brooch without my permission..."
Nanaya touched Illya's head again: "How could it be, Illya-chan attaches so much importance to this thing, I am so happy."
Seeing that Nanaya really didn't care, Illya patted her chest as if she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Tsk"*2
Nanaya seemed to hear someone snorting in dissatisfaction. Was it an illusion?
"Good morning, senior!"
A familiar voice sounded behind me, and the Ryougi siblings and Hanai Ryuichi and his wife arrived.
Ryougi Shiki waved at Nanaya and said, "You guys are here really early. There's still half an hour left. Are you too excited that you arrived early?"
"I just don't want to be late." Nanaya first replied to Shiki, then he bowed to the Hanai couple and said, "Teacher, Master's wife, hello."
The Hanai couple originally planned to travel abroad for the New Year this year as they did in previous years, but after hearing about Nanaya and others' itinerary, they decided to visit Nanaya's hometown together.
Mrs. Hanai is a woman who looks very intellectual, and it can be seen that she must have been very beautiful when she was young.
After seeing Nanaya, she hugged him tightly and said jokingly, "Ah, our Nanaya is getting more and more handsome. I wonder how many young girls he will charm."
Because the Hanai couple had no children, Mrs. Hanai doted on Nanaya and Ori as if they were her own children.
"Master's wife, stop making jokes like this..."
Nanaya said with a wry smile.
"Well, that's not necessarily true~"
Mrs. Hanai looked at the girls present and smiled happily.
"Hello..."
Before Nanaya could say anything, a greeting was heard from afar.
"Seniors, hello!"
"Why are you here too?!"
The new person who appeared this time was Rin, who had previously said that she would not follow Nanaya back to her hometown, and standing next to her was a girl who looked exactly like her, except for her hair color.
"Hehe, because the plan has changed." Rin pulled the blonde girl over, "Come, senior, let me introduce you. This is my sister, Elle, she's going with us this time too."
