Bringing Culture to a Different World

posed to live in a moldy place?

“Those who cannot accept this can leave.
I’m not forcing anyone.
The Black Swan Theatrical Troupe is not the only theatrical troupe in Norland.”

Joshua did not beg for the members of the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe to participate in the filming of his next movie.
He was the director.
What will happen next would be an ‘audition.’

The first test would be whether or not they can handle difficulties.
What Joshua needed were performers and not those pampered nobles.

The only thing Joshua needed to do now was to write a letter to inform Madam Schroder so that she could send her Black Swan Theatrical Troupe over.
Of course… that’s assuming the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe would be willing to come after hearing the location to be the Squirrel Street.

………

Madam Schroder’s residence.
A rehearsal and practice place was especially created for the Theatrical Troupe in the mansion.
There was also a private practice area prepared for the Flower of Farucci.

Wearing a dance dress, Gallolei was moving around and dancing in the empty room.

No matter how renowned her reputation as the Flower of Farucci might be, she had not forgotten about practicing.

Apart from acting, stage play actors must also dance.
As an outstanding stage actress, elegant dance posture was absolutely necessary.

Gallolei was still very young.
Her body hasn’t finished growing.
Thus, she cannot afford to take things easy.

The people from Farucci were different from the girls from Ishtar, the Nation of Frost.
Those from Ishtar were able to gain sexy figures without doing anything.

Gallolei finished her practice today.
Her elven bodyguard appeared behind her and extended her handkerchief to wipe Gallolei’s forehead covered in sweat.
At the same time, she used magic of the elven race to help Gallolei regain stamina.

“Young miss, are we really not returning to your home country?”

Flay was already starting to miss the scenery and culture of Farucci.
Of course, what she missed the most was the smell of nature from being located near the great forest.

While the city of Norland had many merits, all the merits became shortcomings in the eyes of the elven girl with that Chaos Demon being here.

“I will not be returning home before the filming for the movie is complete.
That’s what my mother desires too.”

Gallolei walked over to the door and pushed it open.
The entire region was prepared for the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe to practice in.
There were many metal clothes racks outside.
On those racks were a whole bunch of dazzling show clothes.

Gallolei’s small figure was covered by the clothes.
Because of that, the others in the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe did not notice her approach and were either still in their training or chatting among themselves.

“Madam Schroder said that we might be participating in the filming of a movie.”

“Grand Duchess found the person who created that movie? As it should be… we are the best theatrical troupe after all.
With Grand Duchess’s status, persuading the movie-maker should be a very simple task.”

Several members of the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe that had finished their training were gathered together and chatting.

It was unknown when the news of the next movie being played by the members of the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe had spread throughout the entire theatrical troupe.

Gallolei was not worried that her main female lead would be taken by anyone else.
In the entire theatrical troupe, she would remain the most eye-catching black swan.

“Do you think we’ll be shooting the movie in a castle? Or could it be a place as dignified as Farucci’s Fansena Palace? We might even be able to meet the actress for Belle and actor for the Demon Prince.”

“Maybe it’s Norland’s Crystal Palace.
If only we can dress in the same sort of dance dress as Belle and dance with that Demon Prince.
But, I’m not really that fond of that Demon Prince.”

“What?! You don’t want to touch his paw pads?!”

Gallolei was quietly listening to the conversation of the girls that she had performed with for many years.
She was feeling nothing from their conversations.

The Black Swan Theatrical Troupe was formed with both nobles and commoners.
When Madam Schroder and the other co-founders were choosing the members of the theatrical troupe, they chose the most outstanding students in Farucci’s Institute of Art.
Of course, many of those were young nobles with connections.

That said, no matter what if they were born nobles or commoners, they’ve successfully made the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe into Farucci’s best theatrical troupe.
While the reputations of the other performers were not as famous as Gallolei, they were still the lovers in the dreams of many young men and women of Farucci.

Because of that, the members of the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe all possess an air of arrogance.

“Flay, what do you think?” Hearing the conversation of the girls, Gallolei quietly asked the elf beside her.

“I… I think they’ve thrown us into a pool of lava or the mouth of a monster.”

The elven girl answered Gallolei honestly.
Her impression of Joshua was completely different from that of a film director.
To her, he was an extremely dangerous demon.

That was why she opposed Gallolei from being in contact with Joshua so hard.
Unfortunately, Gallolei’s mother seemed to have decided to work with that demon.

“Things wouldn’t be that bad.”

Gallolei actually didn’t know how things would turn out either.
She had never interacted with a movie filming before.

When performing on stage, all the theater owners would spare no effort to entertain the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe.
After all, they were the most dazzling pearl in Farucci.
No theater owner would dare to show any neglect toward them.

The best rooms, the best services and the most outstanding stages.
Those were luxuries commonly enjoyed by the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe.

As for their performances on stage, they were filled with gracefulness and romantic ambience.

But, from what Joshua wanted Gallolei to practice in, the content of his next movie seemed to be completely different from the romantic ambience of stageplays.

Because of that, while the female performers of the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe were looking forward to being in a luxurious castle and meeting a prince, looking forward to a romantic scenario, Gallolei who had seen through what was going to happen was distressed in how she would calmly and confidently shout out ‘Fuck!’

The lively atmosphere gradually quieted down as a middle-aged butler hurriedly rushed into the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe’s practice ground.

“Ladies and gentlemen, please properly pack up your belongings today.
Tomorrow, under the arrangement from Her Lady the Grand Duchess, all of you will be proceeding to the next stage..”

Suddenly, the middle-aged butler paused mid-speech.
He discovered that it was wrong to describe it as the next stage.
Thus, he changed his wording.

“Or perhaps, the location for the filming.”

“It’s real…” Hearing those words, the members of the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe quietly cheered.

“Mister butler! May we know where the filming site would be?!” A more courageous member raised his hand to ask the middle-aged butler.

Faced with that question, the butler was momentarily silent.
He re-read the instructions penned by Madam Schroder and quietly said the name of the place.

“Squirrel Street.”
