Chapter 8: The Birth of Radio and Big Teacher (Part 1)
"Sorry for the sudden change in program, today's afternoon game broadcast "Game no Housoku" will add a special episode and it's live! I'm the supporter of this episode, Kawasumi Ayako, and the special guest is the original script writer of the super popular text adventure game "Fate/stay night"!!!! That is, the recently familiar - Nasu Kinoko-sensei!!!"
One of the two people sitting face to face across a desk in a TYPE-MOON affiliated broadcast room, Sōichirō was wearing headphones and speaking according to instructions.
Although it is a live broadcast, in fact, some planning is also required. After all, only after the main content is spoken out can free discussion be allowed.
In addition to the over-ear headphones on his head, there is also a microphone placed near his mouth through a bracket in front of him. The broadcaster conducts interviews and broadcasts sounds through this.
Sitting properly in his seat, Sosuke wanted to take a sip of the water placed on the left side of his desk before speaking, but immediately saw the 'X' hand gesture made by the staff outside the glass, simply put, drinking water is prohibited during broadcasting.
Forget it, I'm not particularly thirsty anyway.
Sosuke took another look at his script, this live broadcast mainly includes the TV preview of "Fate/Stay Night" and TYPE-MOON's promotion of making an anime adaptation of "Fate/Stay Night".
"Now that you're here as a specially invited guest, please give everyone a greeting, Teacher Sosuke."
"Hello everyone, I am Sosuke."
"Hey? Teacher Sōsuke can be more enthusiastic, there might be tens of thousands of people listening."
"So many!"
"Of course I'm kidding you, but the more people the better, Sosuke teacher is really too naive."
Miss Kawasumi made a face at Sosuke and immediately changed the subject without going to the script.
"This broadcast is sponsored by TYPE-MOON, the game publisher and anime creator of 'Fate/stay night', thank you very much. You can also submit your good games at ordinary times, we welcome all comers."
It started with an advertisement, which made people feel quite professional.
However, regarding the anime adaptation of "Fate/stay night", Nasu Kinoko said that he had already announced it on TYPE-MOON's homepage before, and at that time it received a very hot response, and now is just the second promotion, expanding the notification range.
Of course, this opportunity cannot be let go easily either. After all, it can continue to increase the popularity of "Fate/Stay Night" and make more people know about the game and anime "Fate/Stay Night".
At this time, Sosuke saw the staff outside waving their hands to the left and right, and Kawasumi-san, who had also received the notice, immediately pushed forward with the topic.
"I'm sure everyone knows by now, but 'Fate/stay night' is going to be animated soon and I think it'll be out to meet everyone before long. I'm Kawasumi Ayako, the main voice actress for Saber, the main heroine of this time's story. I hope you all will give me lots of guidance! By the way, what kind of feelings does Nasu Kinoko-sensei have right now? How does it feel to have your own game animated?"
"You don't have to call me teacher, it's a bit uncomfortable. As for being adapted into an anime, I'm still very happy about it, but it feels a bit unreal."
"This is reality, Sosuke-sensei. If possible, could you tell us what triggered the creation of this game? Of course, the reason behind it as well."
What's the motive and reason? It can't be said that it was chosen for production just because one liked this game in the past, right?
This is a reason, but it's not a reason that can be said now, it's just one's own reason.
The pseudo-Lolita Kawasumi-san across from them seemed to be very interested in this topic, looking at Sosuke with a curious expression.
As the voice actress of Saber, she must have played the game "Fate/Stay Night" itself and be familiar with various storylines and content, only then can she fully immerse herself in this role.
However, in reality, the game "Fate/stay night" was modified by Yūji Yamaguchi. After all, it originally existed as an 18+ game, but after being taken over by Yūji Yamaguchi, many of those scenes were deleted and the rating was changed to around 16+, with very few H-scenes remaining.
So most of the content in "Fate/Stay Night" is a depiction of the experiences and encounters between various characters, with some ink also spent on drawing battle scenes.
So to say, the "Fate/Stay Night" in this world is a purer version compared to the original world's "Fate/Stay Night", and its content has been enriched by Sōichirō.
In this, especially the daily life of Shirou and Saber, Suguwara depicted with a slowly crumbling writing style their battles with other magicians, and their confrontation with heroic spirits.
So as for the opportunity, Sosuke could only think of one thing.
There is only one.
"It may be the fate expressed in the game, the ups and downs of life, gains and losses, these are all part of fate, if you want to change it, you must fight with your own hands to turn things around."
"Oh? That sounds very reasonable! Which character in the game does Sosuke-sensei like the most?"
"Who's your favorite character?"
I like Saber as a knight king, but aside from Saber, Sosuke is also a heroic king.
That hero king clad in golden armor and possessing great fighting power is truly the embodiment of a king.
"As a heroine of the FATE series, I also like Saber, but I also like EMIYA in that world."
"Is Gilgamesh the Hero King? So that's what they mean by the nickname 'Golden Sparkles', I see. And why is it him, because of his dashing good looks? Has Professor Sōga fallen for a man she created herself?"
"Don't talk like that!"
"Sorry, Hero Wang is an attacker, and as a fellow attacker, Teacher Sosuke definitely won't be able to accept that."
"Can't you stop using this kind of BL-like language?"
Sō took a deep breath and sucked all the air back in that he had just spat out.
"I think the reason why people think Gilgamesh is so formidable is that they've fallen in love with his unwavering heart. No matter what kind of enemy he faces, no matter what kind of opponent he fights, Gilgamesh has never thought that he would lose. That's absolute strength, and also absolute confidence. Who among people today can be so determined?"
