Will: "If you're careless and get lost around here…well, after that, no one would be able to find you."

​

OO: "Eh…-"

 

Will: "Just kidding… Yeees! That's a much better expression than when we met!!"

​

Harboring that uneasy feeling, I followed him into his studio…-.

​

And there a new surprise was waiting for me.

 

What's with this place…it's a little scary…

 

The studio that I walked through as he held my hand was eerie, like a haunted house.

 

There were spider webs hanging here and there, and spots of what looked like blood splattered throughout the area.

 

OO: "What on earth…?"

 

Will: "This is the movie set. It's a little dark, so watch your step."

 

He spoke to me over his shoulder, and I saw he was making an odd expression.

 

W-why does he look like that…

 

The smile full of enjoyment he'd had just a little bit ago had vanished, and he slowly walked through the studio with an odd expression.

 

Will: "Stay close to me…otherwise…"

 

He spoke quietly and I couldn't hear the rest of what he said.

 

OO: "Um…I didn't hear that last…"

 

Before I'd finished speaking, he gripped my hand tighter and picked up the pace.

 

As he walked deeper into the gloom, I got this feeling…like a reaper guiding someone to the underworld…

 

OO: "…"

 

In order to dispel my fear, I tightly squeezed his hand and looked around.

 

What a strange castle…it's so realistic I wouldn't think it was a set.

 

The more I looked, the more realistic it was, and I started to tremble.

 

Will: "…ku."

 

…Director?

 

It looked almost as if his shoulders were shaking as he walked in front of me.

 

…

 

……

 

Within the cluttered and disorganized studio, I made me way through without paying the things scattered about much attention, and a slightly open area came into view.

 

Atop the desk was a computer, and a mountain of papers and documents.

 

Will: "Well, come in. This is my work space."

 

Will explained it to me with a smirk on his face, but I was still caught up in the atmosphere from before.

 

Huh, it's less messy than I thought…

 

I had imagined it would be a very cluttered area, but the studio I had been escorted to was clean and organized.

 

However in that next instant…-.

 

OO: "…!"

 

A screen entered my field of vision, and my body stiffened.

 

The image projected on the huge monitor in front of me was…

 

OO: "…!!!"

 

Will: "Oh now, what's this? Is something wrong?"

 

OO: "Um, Director Will, what kind of movies do you make…?"

 

Will: "Huh? Oh, I didn't say did I?"

 

In that moment…-.

 

The speakers to the left and right of me emitted the sound of a girl's piercing scream…

 

Will: "Nice scream yeah? That's right; I'm the horror movie director, Will Beaton."

 

OO: "!"

 

What do I do…I'm not good with horror…

 

A chill ran up my spine, and I looked around, unable to calm myself down.

 

Will: "Could it be you're the type who's bad with horror?"

 

The director asked as much with a smirk on his face…

 

[CHOICE]

• I am… (SUN)

• I'm totally fine (MOON)

​

 

 

In that moment…-

 

The sound of thunder echoed in the room, and the lights went out.

 

OO: "…!?"

 

I reflexively reached out to the director in fear, and tightly gripped his shirt.

 

Then…

 

OO: "Eh…?"

 

The lights in the room came back on, and I could hear giggling.

 

I lifted my head, and could see the director smiling right in front of me.

 

What was more, as I had clung to the director, he had firmly wrapped his arm around my back…

 

OO: "!!"

 

In a panic, I pulled back from his arm.

 

Will: "A cute girl's frightened expression really is the absolute best! My creative urge is bubbling. Ah, I have to write down that reaction of yours!"

​

His expression looked like he was having an absolutely great time as he took out his memo pad and started writing.

 

OO: "D-director…just now, was that…?"

 

Will: "…kuku."

 

He pushed up his glasses with his middle finger and smiled.

 

Will: "The vibe from you got better and better! Your expression on the way here was pretty good too!!"

 

OO: "! Y-you mean…you're enjoying this!?"

 

Will: "Enjoying? Of course not, do I look like such a heartless man?"

 

Director Will seemed to be forcing himself as his eyebrows knit together and he shook his head.

 

Will: "It was just a little experiment…like location scouting…I know!"

 

As if in jest, he clapped his hands together.

 

Will: "It's a documentation activity. I look at when and how people get scared. So let me take proper notes of your every single move♪"

 

He stuck out his tongue and licked his lips.

 

I just stood there stock still, overcome with amazement at Director Will's wild behavior.
