Mitia then said to the clown, "Well... Lord Clown, I would like to request a period of leave so I can use this time to organize my thoughts and data."

"Okay, go and rest. Don't think about the experiment anymore. Be careful that the curse of death doesn't affect the civilians."

Mitia left, and the scene ended there, although Sandone and the others were still curious about what had happened before and after.

But the canopy is just that capricious; it can break whenever it wants, and you can only wait for it to reconnect next time.

Welcome back, let's continue the story of the Moon Goddess.

The scene then slowly unfolds, but the background is not Nordkalley, but Fontaine.

Fukalos became interested when he saw this.

"Oh, is this an event being held in Fontainebleau? Columbia, you've been to Fontainebleau before! Oh! By the way, Sandonne, you're from Fontainebleau!"

"Well, I guess I could be considered a Fontainebleau person."

Sitaleie suddenly tensed up, thinking, "No way, no way, they're not going to show off my outfit too, are they?"

There's no use thinking about it now; we can only leave it to fate.

The camera zooms in to reveal Chiori, Funina, and director Xavier.

Chiori, seeing the Traveler and Paimon, said, "Ha, see? I told you they'd come."

"Hi, Xavier, and Chiori and Fryna are here too."

Happy Holy Day!

"Oh, Your Majesty the Water God, aren't these my chief photographer and chief script supervisor? Happy Souls' Day!"

"Are you back for the film festival?"

"Well, I'll also help out a bit while I'm at it. Although there were many unexpected incidents at the last film festival, filming itself was still a lot of fun."

Seeing everyone from Gunfire Recon Studios gathered here doesn't mean you're actually planning to participate, right?

"Of course, which celebrity could miss this annual celebration of Fontainebleau's entertainment industry?"

"Although Fontaine Fashion Week is my home turf, Yingying can receive many orders and expand brand awareness, so I naturally won't miss it."

"This year's film festival has added quite a few awards, such as Best Director, Best Costume Design... Oh! And there's also a Best Cinematography award that can be contested simply by shooting a picture."

"Oh, so we've got some work to do. Quick, tell us what Gunfire Recon Studios is planning to make this year?"

Xavier scratched his head at that moment.

"Hmm...about this..."

"What's wrong, Xavier? Why do you look like that? Ah! You haven't been scammed by some suspicious investor again, have you?"

"No, no, no matter what, I would never fall into the same predicament again and again."

Moreover, thanks to all the kind gentlemen and ladies, Gunfire Films now has ample funds and can freely produce and screen films without investors.

"But it's a bit too free."

Chiori remarked in a sarcastic tone.

"Hmm, what does that mean?"

"Haha, actually, we originally planned to replicate our successful experience and make a commercial film adapted from a popular novel."

Earlier today, we were conducting auditions for the female lead. Then, a young woman accidentally wandered into our audition room.

Her ethereal aura, her melancholy eyes… Oh! My friend, I wish you had been there. I simply cannot describe the shock I felt.

"Is it really that exaggerated?"

This was also what Sandonne wanted to ask. She looked at Columbia: "Ethereal aura, melancholy eyes—are these two words really related to you?"

"Hmm? That's the director's own feeling; I was just thinking about you at the time."

Hearing this, Sandoni blushed: "What are you talking about! Don't you know some things shouldn't be said so casually?"

Rosalyn, Arecino, and the Goddess of March all smiled knowingly.

Back on the screen, Xavier continued, "Oh, you'll only understand if you see it for yourself. Just by standing there, that lady makes the world around her, including the air, seem like a beautiful scene in the film."

At that moment, rainbow bubbles appeared around Xavier.

"So, you've found the right leading lady."

"No, quite the opposite, my friend. It's my script that's unworthy of that lady."

"Is it really that exaggerated?"

"That's right, so I couldn't help but go up and ask the young lady about her background and why she came to Fontaine."

"What did she say?"

Paimon became curious as well.

She said she had just returned to her hometown, but her best friend had passed away. So she wanted to visit her friend's hometown as a way of remembering her.

"No wonder you said she looked a little melancholy."

"Yes, but after hearing her story, I suddenly had an idea: why not make an art film with this lady as the protagonist, about her search for her old friend?"

"Huh? You mean, we're going to start rewriting the script now? Isn't that a bit too rushed? Isn't the preparation work for the film production quite complicated? What if we can't finish filming it in the end?"

"My friend, remember how difficult it was when we started filming 'The Two Gunmen' from scratch? Things are so much better now compared to then."

That's one way of putting it.

"Don't worry, Paimon. Chiori and I have already evaluated the art film proposal. We support Xavier's decision."

"Anyway, most of the costumes are only made after the performers are confirmed, so my workload hasn't increased much."

"Oh, ladies, how can I possibly thank you enough?"

"You should revise the script first."

Chiori and Funina said in unison.

"However, compared to those commercial films that you watch with popcorn, I really hope to make an art film that people will find unforgettable."

"I agree with that. Trendsetters are often those who dare to make different decisions."

"Oh! As expected of Director Fu Ningna, no, I should say as expected of Gunfire Films, everyone here has such artistic aspirations."

Paimon couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

"But speaking of which, what kind of leading lady could have made you all decide to make an art film around her?"

The camera then shifts to Columbia's perspective. She slowly approaches the traveler, walks behind him, and suddenly startles him.

"Hey!"

Both the traveler and Paimon were frightened by her.

"Oh! Columbia, what are you doing here?"

"Hello, I was taking a walk nearby when I overheard you talking about me, so I quietly came over."

"Oh? You know this Miss Columbia?"
