Creating Anime In A Fantasy World

Chapter 2: The Filming Project Proposal

"Lord Edward, it's time for dinner."

The maid's voice came from outside.

Upon hearing this, Edward, who had just left the secluded room, immediately felt a sense of urgency and briskly descended the stairs.

As the castle's only maid, Winry was an orphan taken in by the previous Durin Family Baron. She had grown up in the Durin Family's castle and had a deep loyalty to the family. She also had genuine concern for Edward, who was her childhood friend.

From the beginning when the entire family had high hopes for him to the time he returned from the Mage Tower, after disappointing everyone, Edward's state at that period was well known.

Therefore, with a determination to take care of her master in every way possible before he emerged from the shadows, Winry had done everything she could during that time.

Whether it was handling the affairs as a proxy lord or engaging in public negotiations with other nobles, along with taking care of Edward's daily life, if it weren't for Winry managing the logistics of the castle, the Durin Family might have declined long ago after the old Durin Family Baron passed away.

And for the current Edward, Winry was the only light in his darkness. To him, she was the one who gave some meaning to his otherwise boring life.

At this moment, as Edward rushed down the high tower without even being out of breath, he leaned against the wall and said, "I'm here, thank you for your hard work, Winry."

"Um, it's no problem; it's my duty..."

Winry couldn't help but make a strange expression. For her, Edward had recently changed so drastically that he was like a different person. He was not only willing to listen to her talk about trivial matters but also became more outgoing in his behavior and actions. While he still refused to deal with various matters in the castle, he was no longer locking himself in his room as before.

Although she felt that the changes in the young man were too drastic, she was just glad that her master had emerged from his state of despair. She continued to diligently perform her duties as a maid, without any laziness.

On the other side, looking at the meticulous golden-haired girl in front of him, Edward, who felt like his entire being had been healed, seemed to completely forget that he was in a world without computers or phones. He began to think that his current life was not bad at all.

Yes, the Edward of the past, who was an anime enthusiast, was an outright blonde lover and had a maid fetish. Now, these two elements were concentrated in Winry, who stood before him. He couldn't think of a place happier than this.

"Ah, if only she had animal ears, like a loli with golden hair and animal ears... Hehehe..."

Seeing Edward unconsciously entering a perverted state, Winry, who had grown accustomed to this situation, could only sigh and raise her eyebrows. She then continued, "Lord Edward, a few days ago, I declined an invitation to a banquet from the Southern Territory Duke on your behalf. But it seems that the Duke is rather displeased. Our days ahead may be difficult."

"Let him be. In the end, even the Southern Territory Duke has no right to meddle in the affairs of fellow nobles."

"But, Lord Edward, the debt your father incurred in the past..."

Yes, the late Durin Family Baron had accumulated a considerable amount of debt to nurture Edward and his younger brother, El, before he passed away. Although this debt could have been repaid through public funds if Edward had graduated from the Mage Tower and become an official Imperial Mage, after Edward was expelled from the Mage Tower, the current Durin Family no longer had the ability to repay this debt.
