Chapter 320: Solve Holmes' Problems with the Holy Grail War
🕑 Added 2025-05-02 15:55:27 +0000 UTCIce cream breakfast is not actually too bad, but its temperature is a hurdle that is impossible to overcome.
You know, this season is when DQ is selling hot drinks!
In the end, Nanaya managed to get through it thanks to the hot milk that Shion gave her.
But the seven nights of New Year's disaster are not completely over yet.
I don’t know why, but the girls who stayed overnight showed no signs of leaving. It seemed that they were planning to spend the entire New Year holiday in Nanaya’s villa.
So for the next period of time, Nanaya lived a life of both happiness and pain.
Being surrounded by so many beauties is a very pleasing thing just from the perspective of viewing.
Well, except for a certain annoying non-mainstream director.
But this happiness comes at a price.
After all, how can you see the rainbow without going through the wind and rain?
Without the hard work of climbing, how can you see the most beautiful scenery at the top of the mountain?
Based on Nanaya's own experience and insights, his story over the past few days of the New Year can be summarized as - a tragic Shura field caught between a female idol, ex-girlfriend, female boss, and female aristocratic sisters.
To be honest, Nanaya didn't suffer any physical injuries, except for being kicked off the bed by Rin on the third night.
For example, when preparing to eat at noon on the 2nd, Ori asked Nanaya what he wanted to eat.
Rin made the decision for Nanaya directly, saying that it would be better to have fried rice for lunch.
Shion, who was sitting next to him, smiled and said that it would be better for Nanaya to eat ramen.
So for the next period of time, Rin and Shion started a debate around Nanaya in order to defend their own tastes.
The topic of the debate is: "Which is more nutritious and tastes better, fried rice or ramen?"
At this time, Sakura and Lily would also join in, one of them fanning the flames from the sidelines, while the other would jump in and ask to include steak in the debate topic.
At the same time, the debate developed from a war of words at the beginning to a level close to physical combat.
The reason why it is said to be about to happen is that before the real hand-to-hand combat begins, Ori will directly smooth things over and appease everyone.
Then he would take the initiative to make fried rice, ramen and steak.
Then everyone would watch Nanaya finish the three servings of main course.
And Nanaya couldn't leave any food because Ryan was watching him.
"It's shameful to waste food. Since you ordered so much, you should eat it all."
[Order your sister! Which eye of yours saw that I ordered so much food? Your belly button? ! ]
So Nanaya could only slowly and bit by bit stuff the three servings of staple food into his stomach.
"They say every inch of the harem is worth an inch of blood. Why didn't I bleed? It must be because I was almost stuffed to death."
This was the complaint that Nanaya made after dinner when he was so full that he didn't want to move at all.
"It suits you very well."
Ori, who was clearing the dishes, rolled her eyes and said, "Those who stained the harem with blood are only a minority, right? Aren't most of them just kidney problems?"
“Tsk tsk.”
A strange sound came out of Nanaya's mouth and he shook his finger at Ori.
"That's too sweet, Ori. Are you still our junior brother? You even say that one drop of semen equals ten drops of blood—"
Pop.
Ori threw the rag directly at Nanaya's face.
"You are the shame of our sect, aren't you? You eat from the bowl and keep your eyes on the pot, a typical playboy!"
Nanaya had no way of refutation regarding Ori's questioning.
Fortunately, such days did not last long.
On January 5th, Nanaya followed Shion to the United States.
Fortunately, otherwise Nanaya thought that he would either die of overeating this New Year, or at least become a person with three highs.
After all, whether it’s fried rice, ramen, or steak, there’s nothing healthy about it!
Of course, Nanaya would not tell these words to Shion who was beside him.
Because now the big boss of Shion is very angry, like a powder keg that can explode at any time.
Nanaya could only be thankful that he was not the one who made her angry, and he was very careful in coaxing his boss so that she wouldn't vent her anger on him after getting mad.
In fact, this matter is more or less related to Nanaya.
Even though it's just a little bit.
The reason why Shion got angry, and the reason why she had to fly to North America during the Chinese New Year, was actually related to [See Moon].
In this era when video websites are still a desert, there is no reference at all for making video websites.
Nanaya was able to come up with a plan directly because he had seen so many video websites in his previous life, so many that he didn't have to worry about what to do and could just copy the websites in his memory.
As a result, there were some problems while copying.
Probably influenced by his memory, Nanaya subconsciously added a "multiple speed playback" function to the video playback function, allowing viewers to choose 0.5x, 0.75x, 1.0x, 1.25x, 1.5x and other speed playback when watching the video.
The result was that this function, which seemed normal to Nanaya, was boycotted by a large number of film and television workers in North America and Europe.
And the number of people boycotting is very large, including some heavyweight figures.
The people at Washimine North America didn't dare to offend these people and could only tell Shion about the matter.
This is also the reason why Boss Shion had to go to North America to work during the holidays.
"I'm so angry! These guys should be thrown into the incinerator! If they are mentally ill, shouldn't they just go to a mental hospital?! They come out here to cause trouble to others!"
Shion crumpled the fax into a ball and threw it aside.
Nanaya picked it up very servilely and took a look at the contents on it.
According to Washimine North American employees, those who boycotted believe that double-speed playback represents control and change of the work of creators.
Well, this logic is very powerful and very American-style.
It is worthy of being a country that can elevate black people, women and black cornrows to the level of political correctness.
But the question is, what do you mean by criticizing Washimine?
Don't videotapes have a fast-forward function?
Doesn't DVD have a double-speed playback function?
Why don't you go and blame the videotape manufacturers or the DVD manufacturers, but instead find a website to deal with it?
Did you go on a business trip for 13 months and then come home to find that your wife had stopped having her period?
Or is there a Teddy bear running over your grave, doing push-ups and dancing?
Even Nanaya felt that these people were being inexplicably pretentious, let alone the person involved, Shion.
Nanaya guessed that these guys probably thought that [See Moon] was just a small website with no real business, and that the boss was an outsider from Japan.
In other words, these guys thought Washimine was easy to bully, so they used him as the target of their protest.
Nanaya felt that these people were unaware of the power of the strongest legal department in the East and thought they had picked an easy target.
In response to this, Nanaya observed a second of silence for the group of people. Judging from Shion's furious look, this matter would definitely not end well.
But this has nothing to do with him, Nanaya Kiryu. He didn't come to North America to watch how powerful the big boss Shion is.
Anyway, he was not interested in the specific process of how Shion pinned these guys who had nothing to do and had nothing to do to the ground.
It's not a fight with the final boss, there's no need to pay attention to these minions.
There are issues of interest behind everything in this world, and this is especially true in Europe and the United States.
This protest against Washimine must be driven by interest groups.
Otherwise, why would so many protesters gather together to resist?
The real purpose of Shion's coming to North America is to find out who is behind the trouble.
This kind of business matter should be left to Boss Shion to handle himself, as it is not his, Nanaya Kiryu's, expertise.
As a director, Nanaya only needs to complete the best-selling works well and then hand them over to Washimine for operation.
Nanaya came to North America this time mainly for two purposes. One was to follow up on the production progress of the "Iron Man" project. After all, he is the producer of the film, so of course he has to show his importance to this film with an investment of more than 100 million US dollars.
Another purpose of Nanaya is to find actors for FZ.
Compared with FSN, there are more European and American characters appearing in FZ, so it is necessary to start preparing in advance.
Among them are some relatively important characters, such as Weber, one of the three protagonists, and there are also supporting characters with considerable roles such as the Emperor, the Marshal and other servants.
Nanaya knew very little about Hollywood actors, so he adopted a very simple method - to find the list of actors who had auditioned for "Iron Man".
Therefore, Nanaya got off the plane on the West Coast before Shion and went to the Marvel Studios' office in Los Angeles.
Shion continued to fly to New York and went straight to Washimine's North American headquarters to deal with those jumping clowns.
I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but Nanaya met Kevin Feige in the Marvel office.
The other party invited Nanaya to watch Tony Stark’s second interview video, and Nanaya agreed immediately.
In between watching the interview tape, Nanaya complained to Kevin about the protest.
"Those guys are really annoying, protesting this and that all day long." Kevin Feige said this with a hint of resentment.
Apparently, he encountered some similar unpleasant things when preparing for "Iron Man".
"Forget it, let's not talk about these troubles."
Nanaya changed the subject, "How was Donnie's performance?"
"The acting is really amazing, it's like he's playing Tony Stark in his true colors. Of course, this is the Iron Man in our script."
Feige added that after all, the setting of Iron Man in the original comics is still different from the movie version.
"This rogue-like character should be very popular with the audience, just like Captain Jack Sparrow."
Nanaya nodded thoughtfully.
After the 21st century, Downey's most representative role in commercial films, besides Iron Man, is Sherlock Holmes.
Moreover, both of these characters have a bit of ruffian nature, and can be said to be full of coolness.
No wonder Doctor Strange later raised his index finger to Stark, indicating that only one of the two Sherlock Holmes could be kept.
[Should Downey play Sherlock Holmes in the Fate series? ]
Nanaya rubbed his chin as he thought.
[But Benedict Cumberbatch is also good, it’s a bit hard to choose. ]
[Forget it, I might as well change the script when I shoot FGO next time and change the North American mythology into a North American servant civil war. ]
[Let Downey play Tesla and Benedict Cumberbatch play Edison. Whoever wins will be the only Sherlock Holmes in fate. ]
Nanaya even came up with the title of the movie, let's call it "Fate /The Current War".
