"Today is a day worth celebrating, let's cheer together!"
As the sound of the loudspeaker fell, several flames rose into the sky and fireworks of various colors bloomed in the sky.
Although for "Madoka Magica", the end of filming is only the first step.
The production of post-production special effects is the real big deal.
But even so, the successful completion of filming is still something worth celebrating for a crew.
Originally, Nanaya just planned to hold a wrap party to have some fun.
As a result, I don't know where these people got a bunch of fireworks from, and then they started clamoring to set them off.
Nanaya thought it was troublesome at first, but he couldn't resist these people's desire to make trouble.
In the end, Nanaya had no choice but to follow their wishes.
Anyway, listening to the "bang!" and "bang!" sounds of fireworks exploding, at least the party was definitely lively.
It's so beautiful."
Behind Nanaya, Lily, who was standing next to Ryan in casual clothes, spoke to him, "It reminded me of the festival I attended in Japan before."
Right in front of Lily's eyes, the sky was filled with fireworks like blooming flowers, in all shapes and colors.
The little girl was fascinated by such beautiful scenery.
Seeing Lily's obsessed look, Nanaya smiled and said, "Then you should shout 'Yu-wu'."
"Tsk, I'm not that old-fashioned."
Lily stuck out her tongue at Nanaya.
These colorful fireworks were a spectacular start to the party.
When the night sky on the set became quiet, the reserved food truck also drove to the set.
Countless fine wines and delicacies were brought up in an endless stream by the hired chefs and waiters.
"Hi, brother-in-law."
Lily came over from behind and grabbed Nanaya's arm.
"Why don't you come over
? I want to have a drink with you."
She still remembered the memory of secretly going to the bar with Nanaya to drink. It was one of Lily's best memories.
Although Lily drank so much that she almost blacked out, it didn't affect her liking for wine.
"Go drink it yourself, don't drink too much." Nanaya shook his head, "I'd better forget it."
As Nanaya said this, he took a bite of the chicken leg with the juice.
"Well... I won't go then."
Looking at the lively party, Lily resisted the urge to move forward and sat quietly beside Nanaya.
"I'll stay here with you. The food here is better than over there."
Lily sat obediently next to Nanaya, then took a burrito and started eating.
Nanaya glanced at Lily, and suddenly he felt that this girl with blonde hair and a ponytail was obviously beginning to mature.
Is this what growth is?
"Where's your sister?" he asked.
Ryan was with him just now, but he was gone in the blink of an eye.
"As for my sister, it seems that she is with Sister Shion. They seem to have something to talk about."
Lily mumbled with a burrito in her mouth.
"Eat slowly and don't choke."
Nanaya looked at the girl who seemed a little anxious and shook his head helplessly.
Lily said unconvincedly: "Well...it was you, brother-in-law, who wanted to ask me something."
"Yes, yes, I was wrong."
Nanaya gently stroked Lily's head with her hand.
The girl with blonde hair and a ponytail squinted her eyes happily. She was enjoying this moment very much.
But Lily's seven nights alone didn't last long.
Because everyone will be going their separate ways starting tomorrow, many people in the crew took this opportunity to say goodbye to Nanaya.
So every few minutes someone would come over with a glass of wine to greet Nanaya.
Fortunately, everyone knew that Nanaya couldn't drink, so no one forced him to drink.
However, because there was always a "light bulb" next to her, Lily felt a little unhappy.
But Lily didn't show it and just ate the food on the table silently.
Only when Rin, Sakura and other girls came over, Lily would stop chewing and use the skill of [Killing with Eyes] to try to make the other party retreat.
It's a pity that Lily, with her cheeks puffed up like a hamster, looks really unintimidating and instead looks more like she's just being cute.
And Rin also responded very well, imitating Nanaya's behavior and touching the other's head.
"Well...Rin is really becoming more and more annoying."
Lily said angrily.
Nanaya took a glance and found that a bad mood did not stop Lily from eating.
[I never realized before, how come this girl can eat so much. Are those with this face all big eaters? ]
"If you feel bored being around me, go to the party and have some fun with them."
Nanaya pointed at the people who were partying not far away.
"…"
Lily seemed a little interested. For her, who was lively by nature, the lively party was really attractive.
"Forget it. What if someone comes to snatch my brother-in-law away at this time..."
In the end, Lily decided to stay with Nanaya.
"Then it's up to you."
Nanaya did not continue to dissuade him, but instead stretched the tongs in his hand towards the grilled ribs not far away.
Today is a rare day for relaxation, and Nanaya plans to indulge himself and eat to his heart's content.
Halfway through her meal, Lily looked up at the starry sky and asked, "Hey, brother-in-law. Where are we going on vacation?"
"I rented a small island near the Great Barrier Reef." Nanaya explained to Lily.
"I thought you bought an island, brother-in-law."
Lily said with regret.
Nanaya shrugged his shoulders and said, "What a pity! Most of my family's wealth is invested in this movie. I can't afford to buy an island."
"I'm just saying it casually." Lily shrank her neck and muttered softly, "Anyway, I'm already very content with you and my sister here."
Nanaya didn't respond, but just ate the food on the plate silently.
Afterwards, Nanaya talked to Lily about the idol team and the North American crew.
After eating and drinking, Nanaya looked at the time and said to Lily, "If you don't want to join the party, let's go back."
The crew's carnival party won't end until the early morning, and Nanaya is not interested in watching a bunch of people go crazy for that long.
It's not a pole dancing performance, Nanaya has no interest in it at all.
"OK."
Lily was very happy. She stood up, took Nanaya's arm, and followed him to the crew dormitory.
At this moment, Lily felt that it was really worth it to stay with Nanaya for a night.
Of course, after entering the dormitory, Nanaya and Lily separated.
Nanaya doesn't have the courage to sleep in the same room with Lily, or Ryan will turn her into a coral reef.
————————————————
With the completion of the filming of "Madoka Magica".
Most of the crew members involved in the filming left the crew, leaving only the staff related to post-production special effects.
As a result, the once bustling set suddenly became quiet.
Not only did a large number of cast and crew members leave Wellington, but even a large number of entertainment reporters who had been stationed here for a long time also left.
Nanaya himself gave himself a five-day vacation, hoping to have a good rest.
After all, the post-production work on "Madoka Magica" can be said to be the most arduous of all of Nanayo's many films.
Nanaya took Lily and Ryan on a plane to Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.
According to the itinerary prepared in advance, Nanaya planned to go to the famous Gold Coast.
Then take a chartered private yacht to the Great Barrier Reef and spend a comfortable and private 5-day vacation on a quiet private island.
"Brother-in-law, I said that if you can't afford an island, at least consider buying a plane."
Unbuckling the seat belt, Lily said to Nanaya, "Now that you often travel around the world, it would be more convenient to have a plane. You can't always borrow the company's plane, right?"
Nanaya picked up the orange juice brought by the flight attendant and took a sip. "Let's talk about it later. If Madoka Magica sells well, then I'll consider it. If it loses money, I guess I won't even be able to afford a meal."
"Tsk, who would believe that?"
Lily knew that "Madoka Magica" simply took up most of Nanaya's working capital.
Things like real estate or the Washimine shares in Nanaya's hands have not been touched.
Even if Madoka Magica lost all her money, Nanaya wouldn't be left without the means to eat.
Although New Zealand and Australia are close, it still takes several hours to fly there.
In order to kill time, Lily took out a handheld game console from her bag and started to press buttons with great interest.
"DS..." Seeing the familiar dual screens, Nanaya showed a nostalgic look, "What game are you playing?"
Lily tilted the screen slightly towards him, "A little Fate game."
Nanaya peeked in and found that it seemed to be a Sugoroku game with a Fate skin.
"It's really good for killing time." Nanaya nodded in agreement.
Lily shrugged playfully: "Who told a boring brother-in-law not to play the real version of Sugoroku with me?"
"There's no point in playing with just two people!"
Sugoroku is a board game, which is roughly the Japanese version of Monopoly.
This kind of game, like Three Kingdoms and Werewolf, is only fun when there are a lot of people involved.
Not to mention Nanaya and Lily, even if Ryan was added it would still be just as boring.
However, such a statement was unlikely to satisfy Lily, so for the rest of the flight, she deliberately turned up the volume of her handheld game console to the maximum.
[This damn girl! ]
Nanaya, who originally wanted to take a nap on the plane, had his mouth trembling wildly.
[If I had known this girl had a DS handheld, I would have bought her a copy of "Seven Days to Die" as a gift! ]
Of course, if that opportunity really came along, Nanaya would probably be beaten into a small piece of cake by Ryan.
The reason was that Nanaya dared to scare her beloved sister.
Finally, after several hours of torture, the plane finally arrived in Brisbane.
As soon as he got off the plane, Ryan received a call. After a few words, his brows quickly frowned.
She hung up the phone and sighed: "Nanaya, I'm sorry, I can't go on vacation with you."
"What happened?" Nanaya asked hurriedly.
"It's Aguiwen's call. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs wants to talk to me about something." Ryan said regretfully, "It's urgent. I need to go back to the UK right away."
She looked at Nanaya, then at Lily: "Nanaya, Lily will be in your care for the time being. I'm going to buy a direct flight to London now."
"Why don't I go with you?" Nanaya asked.
Ryan shook his head: "No, you don't know anything and you can't help even if you go. You and Lily should continue your vacation. This is a rare vacation for you."
She didn't give Nanaya a chance to speak and turned to walk towards the plane.
Only Nanaya and Lily were left staring at each other.
"Brother-in-law, there are only two of us left now." Lily said, looking at the sky.
