"Why are you here?"
Although the friendly smile of the girl with a ponytail can win the favor of others, Nanaya is more concerned about the reason why she appears here.
"Because Director Nanaya will definitely need a guide when he comes to London, right? Let the super cute Lily take on this job!"
Lily came bouncing over, the hem of her miniskirt fluttering up and down with her steps.
Nanaya believed that if it were a passerby, he would definitely be attracted by the youthful and beautiful appearance of this girl, but this trick was useless to him.
"Don't you have to go to work?"
The corners of Nanaya's mouth twitched slightly. He really didn't know what to say to the excited girl with a ponytail in front of him.
"Well...I skipped work." Lily stuck out her tongue and smiled foolishly.
"Clam?"
Nanaya almost wanted to slap the little girl on the back - he didn't dare to spank her in public.
"I'm just kidding~"
Lily smiled and poked Nanaya's cheek with her finger: "Sister Shion gave me a day off and asked me to come and look after you."
As she spoke, Lily took out her cell phone, on the screen of which was an email from a female boss.
[I am in New York now and I don't have time to take care of you. Just stay in the UK and Lily will help you.
pS: Although Lily is an adult, I don't think it's a good idea to attack her because her sister will kill you. ]
"This PS at the end is totally unnecessary!"
Nanaya complained loudly, and because his voice was so loud, many people around turned their heads to look over.
"Huh? That girl looks familiar to me. Is she a celebrity?"
"It's impossible. Such a cute girl is paired with such an ordinary-looking guy..."
"Are all the good women in Great Britain being taken over by pigs?"
The people around started pointing at Nanaya and many of them even made sounds of astonishment.
[Although I admit that I am a little inferior to Lily in terms of appearance, it is too much to say that I have an ordinary face! ]
Nanaya was a little angry. Although he didn't think he was the most handsome man in the world, it should be no problem for him to be called handsome and pleasing to the eye.
To be honest, Nanaya would give himself a score of 75 out of 100 for his appearance.
As for Lily, without considering her figure, Nanaya could give her 98 points.
So, when those passers-by said that he had a completely ordinary face, Nanaya was not convinced.
You can say that I can't compare to Lily, but that doesn't apply to me because I'm not good-looking.
There is no benefit at all in arguing with these people. What if you are caught by British paparazzi? Then some bad negative news will come out.
"Okay, let's go."
Nanaya sighed, picked up his suitcase and prepared to leave.
Few people recognize Lily's identity now. After all, there is a big difference in temperament between the lively girl with a ponytail now and the king of bun hair on the screen.
After a while, who knows if I will be targeted by paparazzi who may recognize Lily.
"Oh, wait a minute!"
Lily was like a spoiled little kitten. She hugged Nanaya's arm tightly which was not carrying the suitcase.
"Hello!"
"Huluhulu~"
Lily made a cat's cry and rubbed Nanaya's arm hard.
"What are you doing?"
Nanaya always felt something soft rubbing against his arm...
But this shouldn't be possible?
Lily didn't seem to care at all. She squinted her eyes and enjoyed this moment.
"Hmm~ Brother-in-law (あに), I have a date today~ It feels great to go out with my brother-in-law occasionally!"
"Why are you calling me brother like Illya?" Nanaya felt a little helpless against Lily's coquetry, "And this is not a date at all, right?"
"Okay! Let's go, let's go to the hotel and check out the rooms first! Let's go!"
Lily happily took Nanaya's arm and walked forward with him.
"Hey, don't say things that could be misunderstood!"
Faced with this energetic girl with a ponytail who talked to herself, Nanaya's depression and helplessness turned into a simple complaint.
In Nanaya's eyes, the sky of London was still a gray, even chaotic space, not much different from what Nanaya remembered.
In fact, I have been to this place in London several times before.
When "Goblin Slayer" was first being prepared, several actors including Rin and Luvia were sent here to be trained in movements and accents.
At that time, Nanaya came to London several times to determine the practice progress of several actors.
Later, Nanaya came to London again to attend Ryan's birthday party last year.
Although I have been to London quite a few times, Nanaya has never really had a good time visiting London.
Not to mention places like Big Ben, the British Museum and Buckingham Palace, I didn't even visit the Thames during my seven nights.
And this time——
Seven nights passed and he still had no chance to explore London.
After all, Nanaya is here to work, not to travel.
But Lily didn't seem to think so. She took Nanaya to the designated destination.
However, she did not choose convenient and fast means of transportation such as taxi or subway, but took a slow sightseeing bus with Nanaya.
"Don't worry, I won't delay your work."
When Nanaya asked the question, Lily answered casually.
"Your name is really weird."
Nanaya discovered that since the two of them were alone, Lily no longer used the name "Nanaya Director" as before, but instead directly changed her address to "brother".
"That's because you are too worried, brother-in-law~"
Lily changed the subject frivolously, "I know my brother-in-law is here to look for actors. I will take you to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art later. There we have an audition specially prepared for you, brother."
"Your family? Does the Wettin family have extensive connections in the entertainment industry?"
Nanaya originally planned to visit various art schools, but he didn't expect that Lily would have such a wide network of contacts that she could directly organize an audition.
"We didn't have it at home before, but we have had it since last year."
"Uh..." A drop of cold sweat appeared on Nanaya's temple.
Lily sneered and said, "Since Artoria became famous, father has been receiving various favors from people who want me to help someone enter Hollywood."
"Really?"
In fact, Nanaya really wanted to ask about the specific situation, but when he saw Lily's gloomy expression, he decided to give up.
"I told you that I won't delay your work. Now, brother-in-law, just enjoy the scenery of the Thames~"
Lily said with a bright smile.
"I just hope there's no smog in the air today." Nanaya complained as he looked at the gray sky, "I should have worn a mask."
Lily complained: "Hey, this is the mother river of us British people, brother-in-law, it's so rude of you to say that!"
"I was wrong..." Nanaya quickly raised his hands in surrender.
In this way, Nanaya and Lily chatted while following the sightseeing bus along the Thames for a distance.
When they arrived at the city center, Lily took Nanaya off the bus and took another bus to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art.
In Nanaya's memory, in the UK or European countries, any country that dares to directly hang up the word "Royal" as a sign is usually a very high-end existence.
The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in the UK is no exception. Founded in 1837, this art school is the only full-research art school in the world.
In other words, this institution does not train undergraduates, and all those who enter this school are graduate students.
The school's course lecturers are internationally renowned artists, practitioners and theorists.
Especially the Department of Acting, it is no exaggeration to say that it is the top graduate acting department in the world.
Moreover, unlike those schools that focus on theory, this school emphasizes the coexistence of theory and practice, and the overall quality of students is very good.
So when Lily said that the audition would be held at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, Nanaya was still full of expectations.
However, the auditioners that Nanaya will see today are not just students from this school, but also many students from other schools in the UK will come to audition.
It can be said that the seven nights today and the next few days will see the performance level of young representatives from the UK.
"This is a rare opportunity, Director Kiryu."
The old professor who came to greet Lily and Kiryu said with a smile.
"I hope so."
Nanaya sensed the arrogance in the other party's expression, so he was not very interested.
Although the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art was indeed a school that Nanaya really wanted to attend, he did not like the old professor in front of him very much.
The other party's arrogant look reminded Nanaya of the teachers at Tokyo University of the Arts. They all had the same expression when they heard that Nanaya had come out of the ravine.
Lily noticed the subtle change in Nanaya's expression. She pulled Nanaya over and pouted, "Professor Luft, please take us to the audition room."
"Ah, Miss Wettin."
Facing Lily, Professor Raft immediately changed his expression. He rubbed his hands and asked in a low voice: "Miss Wettin should be graduating from college soon, right? How is it? Are you interested in studying as a graduate student at our school?"
Lily, who is already 20 years old, has already graduated from high school and started college.
As for the university that Lily chose, she naturally followed in the footsteps of Nanaya and others and became a member of Tokyo University of the Arts.
This incident made all performing arts schools in the UK feel very sorry, and they all said that this noble lady should have returned to her country to study.
However, these colleges have forgotten that Lily went to college before the release of Fate. At that time, even if Lily really applied to these schools, she would probably be rejected.
Because Lily's acting is really bad.
In fact, when Lily was interviewed at Tokyo University of the Arts, her performance was evaluated as [poor]. If it weren't for Nanaya and Shiki Matsuno writing a letter of recommendation respectively, Lily would not even have been admitted to Tokyo University of the Arts.
Of course, Nanaya felt that Lily could not be blamed for this, because the topic she drew was to play an 80-year-old lady, which was indeed a bit beyond the scope for Lily, who was only suitable for playing young girls.
Although Lily's own operation is also a mystery.
Because she was not acting as the old lady herself, but as a fainted soldier.
