That should finish any touch ups. I wonder what today’s interview is going to be like.
Unlike when it’s about work, the topics might be more personal ones.
|
???
|
Pardon me.
|
Vil
Vil
|
My first holiday after entering NRC.
Now, however, you’re aiming to win something. Does that mean you’ve found a new objective?
|
Jade
Jade
|
Yes, take care. I’m looking forward to seeing how splendid you look when you do.
Happy birthday, Vil-san. I’m looking forward to today.
|
Vil
Vil
|
I appreciate the birthday wishes, Jade. I take it you must be my presenter this time.
Whether it turns out to be a good interview or not also depends on you, the one asking the questions. I hope I can count on you?
|
Jade
Jade
|
This is quite the serious responsibility. I’ll be sure to do my absolute best.
In that case, let us begin the interview. The first question is…
“Do you consider yourself skilled or unskilled at flying?”
|
Vil
Vil
|
I don’t think I’m bad at it, nor am I particularly great at it, either. My grades in it are pretty average as well.
I’d be lying if I said I was satisfied with that… However I’m not trying to eagerly compete with anyone around me.
Apparently many of those at the top of their class had a specialized education in magic prior to their enrollment.
|
Jade
Jade
|
Oya? Are you telling me that you didn’t begin formally studying magic until your enrollment at NRC?
|
Vil
Vil
|
That’s right. From a young age I moved around to different locations with my father, who’s an actor, in addition to children’s roles of my own…
I never considered entering any kind of magical training school just because I’d developed an ability for magic.
Even when it came to learning from those around me, my father was always busy, and besides that he can't use it.
|
Jade
Jade
|
I see, so your father isn’t a magic user. In that case, you inherited your magical ability from..?
|
Vil
Vil
|
My mother..? Who knows.
Beyond whether she was a mage or not, I don’t even know who she was or where she came from and I’ve never thought to find out.
|
Jade
Jade
|
Is that so. I never would have thought that. This entire time I thought you had been learning magic from a young age.
|
Vil
Vil
|
And why is that?
|
Jade
Jade
|
No reason in particular… It’s just that you’re a person of great ability who was chosen to be the housewarden of Pomefiore.
|
Vil
Vil
|
If you consider making cosmetics as studying magic, then I did study some before I enrolled.
But, for the most part, everything I’ve learned has been here at NRC.
Speaking of, having some degree of flying skill might be necessary. Not for my grades, but for work.
|
Jade
Jade
|
By work do you mean… modeling? Or acting, rather?
|
Vil
Vil
|
The latter. When it comes to scenes filmed in the air, it’s common to use CG or wire stunts…
But you can do even more if you can fly. Not only while performing, but during the actual shooting process as well.
|
Jade
Jade
|
A movie that makes good use of one’s flying skill… That sounds fascinating. I would be quite interested in seeing that.
|
Vil
Vil
|
Perhaps I’ll be able to pull it off. Look forward to it someday.
|
|
Jade
Jade
|
Now for the next question.
“How has being able to use magic benefitted you?”
|
Vil
Vil
|
I suppose that would be being able to spend a nice day off with my father.
|
Jade
Jade
|
A nice day with your father, you say? In what kind of situation did you use your magic?
It was the first chance in a while that we’d been able to coordinate having the day off together and we decided to go out into the city.
Our plan was to have lunch, go shopping, and then see one of the movies he had starred in that evening…
But just as we’d finished lunch the paparazzi found us, even though we’d gone to the trouble of wearing a disguise.
How unfortunate with it finally being your day off together.
|
Vil
Vil
|
Quite so. He was incredibly persistent. Even though we tried ducking into buildings and blending into the crowd, we couldn’t lose him.
If it happened now I could just use concealing magic… But at the time my skills weren’t that advanced.
|
Jade
Jade
|
And yet I can’t imagine you being the type of person to just stand back and let yourself get preyed on by the paparazzi.
|
Vil
Vil
|
Well, naturally. I used some basic spell to give him the slip.
|
Jade
Jade
|
And that magic was…?
|
Vil
Vil
|
It was a color changing spell. I suddenly remembered how we’d learned in class.
I switched the color of our clothing and with it, completely changed our appearance.
We had on these bolder, neon-colored outfits…
But with my magic I turned the main part of our tops to a milky white color instead.
One piece of clothing can appear entirely different in another shade. Suddenly it changed to something that looked much more elegant.
I couldn’t forget our accessories, either. I turned our bags a pale shade of pink and our jewelry silver to gold.
Sure enough, we were able to mislead him and finally make a getaway.
|
Jade
Jade
|
Color changing magic… A resourceful trick for someone as well-versed in fashion as you are.
I’m sure when he suddenly lost sight of you it left him disoriented and confused.
|
Vil
Vil
|
Indeed, he was quite beside himself.
He had no clue we were still there, standing next to him. And the look of desperation on his face as he ran right past us…
Fufu! I can’t help but laugh remembering it.
At the time I felt quite pleased outsmarting such a rude guy like that.
And after that my dad praised me.
He complimented the outfit and how well it worked with the black pants he had on.
|
Jade
Jade
|
Then I suppose being able to use magic was also good for showing him just how much you had grown.
Thank you for sharing such a wonderful, heartwarming story.
|
Vil
Vil
|
My pleasure. Now then, let’s get on with the next question.
|
|
Jade
Jade
|
At last we’ve come to the final question.
“What would you like to do during this next year?”
|
Vil
Vil
|
Before taking my leave from the film research club I’d like to leave behind some kind of accomplishment.
|
Jade
Jade
|
You mean to say that you’d like to put even more effort into your club activities this year?
|
Vil
Vil
|
Exactly. I’m aiming to submit something we’ve made to a contest and take home the grand prize.
|
Jade
Jade
|
What wonderful ambition. Weren’t you the one that founded the club to begin with?
|
Vil
Vil
|
That’s right. I didn’t want my acting skills to get rusty.
In order to focus on my studies I decided to stop accepting any long-term projects.
|
Jade
Jade
|
I see. Somewhere where you could brush up your own skill.
|
Vil
Vil
|
You’re quite perceptive.
I accomplished the goal I had of creating a place I could act when I first started it.
But through our club’s activities I became more interested in other areas other than just acting itself.
|
Jade
Jade
|
By other than just acting itself you mean…
|
Vil
Vil
|
Directing and producing. Through our club’s activities I learned how fun it was to make something…
And began thinking that instead of just being filmed, it wouldn’t be bad to get involved in the filming process itself.
|
Jade
Jade
|
How unexpected. I had only assumed in the future you’d continue to pursue acting.
|
Vil
Vil
|
Naturally I don’t have any plans to give up acting. But more than that I found I wanted to familiarize myself with everything that goes into making a movie.
|
Jade
Jade
|
Ah, so that’s the reason you said you wanted to win an award.
|
Vil
Vil
|
That’s right. All of the members are working hard so we should be able to accomplish something by the end of the year.
No, let me rephrase that… We’ll definitely accomplish it.
|
Jade
Jade
|
I appreciate all of the interesting things you’ve shared with me today.
Now, if you will, please take this broom.
|
Vil
Vil
|
Ara, what a beautiful broom. The head of it is decorated with flowers.
|
Jade
Jade
|
Yes. Its large, colorful blooms suit you perfectly.
|
Vil
Vil
|
I appreciate that. It should only serve to further enhance my appearance when I take to the sky. I must say I’m quite fond of it.
Well, I suppose I should be heading over to the birthday road soon.
Heh, no doubt it’ll surpass whatever expectations you may have, so be sure to keep your eyes on me.
|
|
Vil
Vil
|
Fufu… I’ll be sure to captivate everyone even more than usual with how gorgeous I look in the air.
