On an otherwise ordinary day, Nosrick experienced a sudden stir, and the source of the otion was her than the ever-busy Nosrick ema.
The reason for the excitement was clear: the director who had previously brought KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World to the s, Edward Durin, had pleted a new film, and news of the premiere had been announced!
In an instant, not only did Nosrick explode with excitement, but nearby towns also saw people flog toward the city, eager to withe debut of this new film firsthand.
Soon, the news of the new movie spread rapidly across the nd, triggering a unication surge between towns.
In this world, where transportation is limited and unication slow, such a wave of information flow was unusual.
And behind this phenomenon? Magic—more precisely, teleportation magic arrays.
Yes, as soon as the news broke, some wealthier individuals who could afford to use teleportation magic eagerly spread the word, iently accelerating the dissemination of the information.
Baniel, who managed Nosrick ema, initially po sell the premiere tickets for five gold s each, thinking to earn a hefty profit from the wealthy.
But to his surprise, it wasn’t just the rich who were eager; even middle-css citizens, upon hearing the price, pulled together what savings they had to purchase a ticket.
In the end, Baniel was forced to raise the price to a sky-high fifty gold s per ticket, finally curbing the terrifying flood of people.
Even thee the exorbitant priough to sustain a oner for a year—there were still plenty of wealthy individuals eager to buy tickets.
The premiere tickets were sold out almost instantly.
This revealed just how deprived of eaihis world truly was.
Most people didn’t know where to spend their money.
The majority of the southern nobility still resisted the idea of ema, and those who could afford the fifty gold ticket were either wealthy merts or ndowners with vast estates.
Seeing this, Baniel could not help but realize that the future of the film industry held vast potential.
He ractically worshiping Edward as a god at this point.
If merdise such as a figures existed in this world, Baniel would no doubt ission a Edward figure for his bedside to worship three times a day.
Nosrick ema had now pletely shed its past as a theater.
The old stage was removed, and any remnants of the traditional yout had vanished.
The building no longer resembled the theater it once was.
If Baniel’s servative father were still alive, he would likely be turning in his grave.
But since his father was long gone, Baniel’s only nohether his father might crawl out of his grave in anger.
Meanwhile, the on people had no pints about the high cost of the premiere tickets.
They khat regur sings would be priced more reasonably, and they would sooo experiehe same film as the wealthy.
A little waiting was a small price to pay.

At Nosrick ema, all the creators involved in Goblin Syer had gathered, including adventurers from the northern nds who were curious about the film.
Thanks to the teleportation arrays, they had traveled thousands of miles to the Southerorys.
Edward g the northern adventurers, who had yet to see a movie, before turning to Baniel, who seemed a little anxious. " we proceed with the pn to expand Nosrick ema in the northerories? I trusted you to hahis; otherwise, I would have asked Eliza, the Guild Master."
"Of course! While you were w on the new movie, I opped preparing. Nosrick ema now dominates half of the Southerory, and we’ve eve up outdoor emas in cities without theaters. You leave the northern expansion to me! I swear I’ll spread your films across the entire empire!"
Seeing Baniel’s overenthusiastic rea, Edward simply nodded and turo look at the cast.
The lead actor, Saeki, who pyed Goblin Syer, resent, along with the actors portraying the half-elf girl, the lizardman, and the dwarf.
They were all visibly nervous, knowing they would soohemselves on the big s for the first time.
The only thing they could do now was take deep breaths to avoid panig when the premiere ended, and they had to face the audience.
pared to them, Daphne, who had already seen a movie and knew what to expect, was in much better shape... though she was still curled up in her bodyguard’s arms, trembling.
It seemed she wouldn't emerge until the movie ended.
"You all... The premiere is about to begin. Afterward, you'll o go on stage for the curtain call."
In KonoSuba's premiere, there hadn’t been a curtain call, mainly because it had been so hastily arranged.
Only the adventurers' guild members attehat sing.
But this premiere was much more formal, and audiences were aced to seeing actors at the end of a stage py.
That, coupled with the desire to meet the cast in person, led Edward to add this segment.

News of the premiere spread like wildfire.
When General Wilhelm arrived at Nosrick with Knight ander Wycliffe and Rhihe ey was abuzz about the new movie.
People were desperate to sneak into the ema to catch a glimpse of it.
Looking at this se, Knight ander Wycliffe scoffed, "What a waste of time. A movie? It’s just some fial nonsense. Only weaklings would enjoy that. A real soldier would rather pick up a on and chop off an enemy’s head otlefield, even if it’s just a goblin’s!"
Wilhelm ughed at his words, saying, "That’s so like you, Wycliffe. If not for your monster-clearing campaigns, the empire would still be crawling with beasts. You’ve done enough over the years. It’s been so long; don’t you think it’s time to let go?"
"Let go? Impossible! Even if I die otlefield, I won’t rest until every evil creature is dead! So, General, let me go back. I’m not going to waste my time on some b movie!"
Seeing that Wycliffe was unmoved, Wilhelm stopped trying to persuade him.
Soon, the three arrived at the entrance of Nosrick ema.
Spotting the poster outside, Rhine was the first to speak excitedly, "Goblin Syer? Is this the new movie everyone’s been talking about? The title’s iing. The movies I saw in the flyers seemed more lighthearted than this..."
