Evening, Nosrick Grand Pza.

  Children who had just finished dinner were pying and ughing in the open pza, couples strolled slowly along the roads, and performers who were ready to put on a show were gradually unloading their props from carts...

  Though this was a world where magic existed, pared to the grand adventures ofteed in fantasy stories, such a mundane life was the daily reality for everyone, or perhaps, their b routine.

  Yes, pared to the other world that had already developed into the i age, where one could enjoy all sorts of eai without leaving home, ordinary people in this world could hardly experieny form of eai.

  Children, with their innod creativity, could still py simple games to pass the time, but the slightly older adults really had nothing to do.

  When the day’s work ehey would spend the evening aimlessly wandering around the pza to kill time.

  However, pared to the past, today in Nosrick seemed a little different.

  Suddenly, amid the curious gazes of the young people in the pza, a cart carrying a huge white cloth was slowly moved in by several staff members.

  Behind it was a young blond boy, not particurly tall.

  Fag the crowd's fusion, the boy, who was Edward, didn’t give much of an introdu.

  He simply took out a prepared imaging crystal, found a suitable angle, aly pced it down, iing it with magic power.

  “Aren’t those the people from Nosrick Grand Theater? What are they doing here?”

  Soon, somehe staff members, but even after identifying them, they still couldn’t uand why something as uo on folk as the Nosrick Grand Theater would appear in this pza at this time.

  As the entire pza gradually filled with curiosity and fusion, Edward, sensing that it was dark enough, expertly projected the image stored in the magic crystal.

  In an instant, as the trailer Edward had edited began to py in the pza, everyohered there showed expressions of shobsp;

  The once quiet pza was suddenly set abze with various excmations and disbelief.

  This rea far exceeded Edward’s expectations.

  After all, while he, as a modern person, was already aced to movie ads and trailers, and perhaps even tired of them, for people in this world who had never entered such things, even an advertisement was something new and iing—maybe even too iing!

  “Mom! What’s that?!”

  “Uh, it looks pretty iing...”

  “Nosrick Grand Theater? That must be expensive...”

  “But it wouldn’t hurt to check it out, right? After all, I’ve never seen something like a moving picture in my life!”

  “...”

  As various discussions spread across the pza, Edward quietly sigo the people behind him.

  Immediately, several adventurers who had been on standby blended into the crowd.

  At this moment, the only task these adventurers had was to act as pnts, using their experience from the preview sing at the Adventurers’ Guild to hype up the movie to the crowd, who had no prior movie-watg experience.

  Although sidering the quality and historiature of the film, it would eventually gain popurity through word of mouth even if Edward didn’t do anything, he saw no reason to refuse the adventurers who volunteered to help.

  The reason these adventurers were willing to help, in fact, was their overflowing sense of superiority.

  As the first audieo watch a movie, they were eager to share their excitement with those who hadn’t seen it yet, or, in other words, they were just looking to show off.

  In short, at this moment, in three pces across Nosrick, simir ses were unfolding. As groups of ordinary people who had never seen a movie were drawn to the trailer for KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World, they all quickly decided that they had to go to Nosrick Grand Theater to find out what this so-called “movie” was all about.

  ...

  Joseph was an ordinary young man.

  Like most young people in Nosrick City, he had various dreams in his childhood, such as being a hero sung by bards.

  But uhe pressure of family and the harsh realities of life, he had to settle for a job at the Nosrick Grand Theater through his family’s es.

  Today, as usual, he arrived at the theater for his night shift, but unlike before, the theater seemed different.

  Not only had the performaage been moved outside, but the decorations and props that Baron Baniel once valued so highly were now discarded like trash at the entrance.

  Seeing this, Joseph thought the theater might be closing down, but the bustling se at the entrance left him rubbing his eyes in disbelief.

  “What’s this? I don’t recall any troupes ing ily.”

  Joseph’s fusion was shared by the other staff members around him.

  These employees, who were only on the night shift due to the scheduling, had no idea what had happened during the day.

  It wasn’t until the supervisor called out their hat they betedly started guiding the chaotic crowd to form a line.

  Then, after the crowd for a moment, Joseph was even more shocked to find that the people lined up outside weren’t the usual wealthy women and upper-css patrons who loved theater, but rather ordinary citizens who would never normally set foot in the Grand Theater!

  As these ordinary people, who had nothing to do with the word “art,” chatted excitedly at the theater entrance, Joseph overheard that tonight, Nosrick Grand Theater was going to host an unpreted performance—a movie titled KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World.

  Having never heard of such a strahing, Joseph grew even more curious and, driven by his curiosity, quietly acquired a ticket using his status as a staff member.

  Then, taking advantage of a break in his shift, he slipped in with the first group of ticket holders into the theater.

  In the past, Joseph had often had the opportunity to sneak into the theater, but since he couldn’t uand the pys and even fell asleep during one, he never watched another.

  But this time, looking at the word “Movie Ticket” written iters on his ticket, Joseph couldn’t help but feel a twinge of anticipation and quickly found his seat.
