Although the idea of shooting HF and FZ consecutively was a bit far-fetched, Nanaya still took on these two projects.
But he certainly wouldn't start arranging the content right at the party. Nanaya wasn't that stupid.
It is not easy to coordinate the arrangements between the two projects, as the content involved is quite complicated.
In addition, the scripts and budgets for these two films have not been finalized yet, so even if we want to start production, we have to wait until after the new year.
[Wait a minute, why do I want to arrange the shooting order? I haven't agreed to play Kiritsugu yet! ]
"Hey, you guys..."
Nanaya wanted to hold Shion back and make things clear.
"No need to be like this, I understand."
Shion said with a smile: "When you dragged Illya into the trap, you were waiting for this moment, right? I really hope that you can make a move on her."
"Oh my, Oni-chan's move or something…"
Illya's face was flushed with shame. She held her cheeks with her hands and sat there alone, lost in her fantasy.
"If you really do this, then the outcome between me and Kiritsugu won't matter."
Shion laughed and patted Nanaya's shoulder: "It's useless for you to win more awards. My man is still sleeping with your daughter in his arms."
"Ohhh! Not bad, this is it!"
Illya clenched her fists and said to Shion excitedly, "Big Sister Shion, I, Illya, will follow you forever!"
"…"
[Um, Illya, you should have noticed how Shion addressed you just now, right? ]
The corners of Nanaya's mouth twitched, but Illya, who was in high spirits, seemed to subconsciously ignore it.
"It seems like you're very popular, Nanaya. That's great!"
The cross on Rin's forehead was throbbing, and she smiled and gave Nanaya the middle finger.
[Your expression doesn't look like a very good one at all…]
Nanaya felt the malice from the world, and he felt that he would definitely have to kneel on a durian shell afterwards.
Fortunately, Rin didn't let Nanaya do this in the end.
It wasn't because she had a change of heart, but because there were too many people staying overnight and it was difficult for Rin to deal with Nanaya.
Not just Shion and Sakura, in fact everyone who attended the party stayed overnight.
There are probably very few opportunities to indulge in this way. By the time everyone realizes it, the New Year's bell has already rung.
"Oops, we should go back."
Hearing the bell, Sugiyama quickly glanced at the clock.
"Are you going back now?"
Shiki smiled wickedly and said, "Why don't you just sleep here? I believe Nanaya won't mind."
"Anyone can do it, just you go home!"
Nanaya kicked Shiki Matsuno's butt and complained.
Shiki quickly begged for mercy: "Hey, hey? You can't be so heartless! Aren't we lifelong friends?"
"Hehe."
Nanaya knew this guy. The usual practice of urging him to get married in previous years had made Shiki Matsuno want to stay in his own house.
If it wasn't for the fact that Nanaya knew that Shiki's requirements for filming were really strict.
Nanaya even suspected that this guy took on some of the directing tasks of FZ and HF just to avoid the blind date activities at home.
"Nanaya, Uncle Na, you can't just stand by and watch someone die!"
Perhaps because he saw that Nanaya ignored him, Shiki Matsuno directly hugged Nanaya's thighs and let out a wail.
"If you don't mind, I have a guest room where you can sleep."
Nanaya said to the Sugiyama brothers, as for a certain embarrassing guy, he completely ignored him.
"I have prepared all the bedding, but I only have disposable toiletries. If you don't mind..."
When buying the house, Nanaya had already considered the situation where friends would stay overnight, so he prepared these things in advance.
But at the beginning, Nanaya never thought that President Shion would live here.
"In that case, let's just..."
Sugiyama saw that it was indeed very late, and if the host didn't mind, he really planned to stay overnight.
"No, we didn't tell our family that we were staying overnight."
Junichi Ishida stopped his cousin and said with a smile.
Nanaya tried to persuade him several times, but Ishida was very persistent.
"Okay, see you next year then...it seems like it's already New Year's Day, so see you after the holidays."
Before leaving, Nanaya mentioned the HF matter to them and asked them to make sure they free up their schedule.
The Sugiyama brothers nodded in agreement and drove away from Nanaya's villa.
"Hey, Junichi-nii. Why don't we stay overnight? Director Kiryu obviously doesn't mind."
Sugiyama asked curiously while yawning, "There is no such thing as curfew in our house, right? I'm so sleepy."
"You, you."
Junichi Ishida clicked his tongue and explained to his cousin with an expression that said "You are too naive".
"Didn't you see the looks on those women's faces? They were all planning to stay the night."
"So what? It's not a big deal if we all stay together, right?"
Sugiyama asked bored while looking at the scenery outside the window.
"So! Sugiyama, you are too naive! You won't be able to find a girlfriend like this!"
Ishida looks like he can't do anything to you, and the smile on his face is getting weirder and weirder.
"Now... that villa is the battlefield for those women..."
"Puff--"
Sugiyama spat out a mouthful of anger. He seemed to have suddenly thought of something and his face turned pale.
Ishida Junichi sighed. He looked at the people on the roadside who were heading to the temple to worship. He said with a melancholy face, "If you get trapped at this time, something bad will happen. I can already foresee the tragic state of Brother Matsuno's body."
Sugiyama laughed dryly and asked tentatively.
"Hey...Brother Sugiyama, should we go and burn some incense for Director Matsuno?"
"Then there's no need. That kind of cockroach can't die."
Afterwards, the two brothers tacitly agreed not to mention anything about the villa again.
————————————————————————
"Okay, if any of you want to go home, I can take you back."
After seeing off the Sugiyama brothers, Nanaya turned around and asked.
"No! We want to live here!" Shiki raised his hand and said, "I think this house is great! It's much better than the shabby house we rented."
"If my sister dislikes me, then go and sleep on the street!"
Ori, who was cleaning the dishes in the kitchen, yelled towards the living room.
"Me too!"
Shiki quickly followed with a silly smile.
"Just let me sleep in the living room."
Nanaya said expressionlessly.
"Hey, isn't there enough room?!"
Shiki Matsuno expressed strong dissatisfaction, but no one stood up to speak for him.
"You can either go home or sleep in the living room. Choose one." Nanaya said gloomily, "Anyway, the air conditioner is on, so you won't be cold."
"Well...I understand."
"What about you?"
Nanaya turned to the others.
"I've moved all my things into the room." Shion said, lifting her hair. "I'll be living here for the time being."
[You've already moved in...]
Nanaya thought that for the sake of his own life, he should not expose her.
"Why?!"
Lily jumped in surprise.
"Why can Sister Shion live here?"
"It's not just me. Rin and Sakura are moving in too."
Shion had already thought of how to answer, and she directly dragged the other two into the water.
There is no need for excuses at this time, just divert the little girl's attention.
"Is it true? Is it false?" Lily pouted in dissatisfaction, "Pupu, I'm not willing to accept this!"
"Well, it's New Year after all, it's more fun for everyone to be together."
Nanaya finally used this excuse to get away with it.
"It's not fair!"
Lily hugged Ryan who was scooping brandy into the cantaloupe.
"Sister, let's stay here too!"
"Oh oh."
Ryan looked at Nanaya and the others, then nodded in agreement.
"Don't get me wrong."
Ryan immediately went on to explain: "If there were only a few of you, you would definitely bully Kiryu. So I have to supervise you, yes, supervise you. Hiccup~"
[The last one is a burp? ]
Ryan's cheeks turned red when Nanaya looked at her, and she apologized in a low voice for her unladylike behavior just now.
"Sorry, that's rude."
"No...I don't mind. Rather, it's rare to see Miss Ryan lose her composure."
Nanaya whispered, "Because Ryan, you always give people a very stable feeling, so you are very cute when you are a little confused like this."
"Why?"
Ryan didn't expect Nanaya to describe him like this, and he was a little at a loss for a moment.
"That's settled then. The first [Erque Studio + Trier training camp] event starts now!"
Lily's eyes lit up and she suddenly stood on the sofa and announced loudly.
"Go to bed!"
Ryan punched her in the head.
"Kiryuu, I'll take her to bed. We can sleep in the guest room on the third floor, is that ok?"
Ryan carried his sister and hurried upstairs, as if he was hiding from something.
Nanaya's villa has two master bedrooms, three secondary bedrooms, and three guest rooms, so there is no problem accommodating all these people.
The ones sleeping in the two master bedrooms were naturally Nanaya and Shion.
The second bedrooms have one for the Ryougi siblings, one for Rin and Sakura, and the last one for Illya.
The Wettin siblings took the initiative to choose a guest room.
As for Shiki, he was thrown into the living room just as Nanaya said at the beginning.
Because it was really late, everyone else went back to their rooms to sleep.
Especially the two youngest ones, Lily and Illya, they fell asleep immediately.
Nanaya forced himself to stay awake and cleaned up the dishes with Ori and Shiki, and then they went back to their rooms to sleep.
The three of them were too lazy to deal with the ribbons and other things that were decorated in the room, and planned to do it tomorrow.
Nanaya returned to his room yawning, but just as he had finished washing up and had not yet gone to bed, his door rang.
"Who?"
Nanaya opened the door, and before he could see clearly a girl threw herself into his arms.
A familiar light fragrance drifted into his nose, which made Nanaya's sleepiness disappear for the most part.
"Rin? Why are you here?"
"Of course I'm here to settle the score, my Master Kiryu."
Rin had a grin on her face, but her hands found the soft flesh on Nanaya's waist.
[I hope... I can have 4 hours of sleep. ]
Nanaya glanced at the clock on the wall and gently closed the door.
