Chapter 39: Become a child star and debut!
Kanto, Gunma Prefecture, Akina Mountain.

Akina Mountain is naturally the famous Akina Mountain, but Seiya is not here to race today.

There is no AE86 or tofu shop here. After all, this world is not about catching shrimps, but about the child I push.

It turns out that the talented child star has Maganai's way, and he is quite wild.

A few days ago, Seiya told Kana that he had come to his senses and wanted to try becoming an entertainer.

Arima Kana acted coquettishly to her mother and asked her to communicate with the director. Finally, after more than ten days, she secured a passing role for Seiya.

Because Seiya said he didn't need any remuneration, he just wanted to gain some experience, and because of the face of the talented child star Kana, the director finally reluctantly agreed.

Seiya is just a child now, and even if he plays a role in the crew, he needs to be accompanied by a guardian.

Originally, Yuko should have been the guardian, but because she had been busy with her manuscripts recently and had no time, she asked Kana's mother for help.

"Seiya, I asked the director for you before, and you don't have many scenes this time.

All you have to do is hold the bamboo sword, look determined, and then swing it wildly in front of you.

You have to act well, this is an opportunity that Kana has finally begged for you, if you hold Kana back, I won’t let you act anymore.”

A burgundy-haired loli in a white dress and a beret on her head stood in front of Seiya with her hands on her hips, and at the same time, she did not forget to teach Seiya her performance experience in the manner of a "senior".

"Okay, all units can get ready and start filming the next scene immediately.

Kana-chan, and that kid over there, your name is Seiya-kun, right? It's your turn to play."

Following the director's order, the crew members began to get busy quickly.

Seiya was quickly dressed in kendo clothes and a bamboo sword was stuffed into his hand.

"Hey, didn't I tell you before that the bamboo sword should be small and hollow?

This child is only about five years old. How can he wield this bamboo sword that is almost as long as his height?

The movie that Seiya and his friends are filming this time is a love movie called "From Now On I'll Protect You".

The general content of the plot is that the heroine runs away from home because she is dissatisfied with the arranged marriage arranged by her family and meets her true love.

This time, Kana plays the heroine as a child. She ran away from home and accidentally entered the mountains. She was attacked by a wild wolf and met a boy who lived in the mountains with his grandfather.

Because she plays the heroine in her childhood, Kana has many plots and shots in this movie.

However, this is the only shot of the kendo boy played by Seiya in the entire movie.

Because it was a low-budget movie, there were no shots of him after he, the second male lead, fell off a cliff after fighting with a wolf.

When his character appeared again, he was already a handsome guy many years later.

According to the script, Seiya only needs to hold the bamboo sword, make some facial expressions, then rush towards the wolf recklessly, swing the sword a few times randomly, and the scene will be over.

For a new actor, the acting skills required are not very high.

In addition, Seiya's appearance was also quite outstanding, so the director at the time agreed to Seiya's request for a cameo appearance.

"A bamboo sword? As far as debuts go, it's surprisingly suitable for me."

The director was still scolding the props team for not paying enough attention and was considering cutting out Seiya's sword-wielding movements in post-production when he unexpectedly noticed that Seiya on the other side had already grasped the solid bamboo sword he had prepared earlier. The pose he was striking seemed quite realistic, so he was stunned.

"Seiya-kun, can you lift this bamboo sword?"

Seeing that Seiya held the knife well, the director's eyes lit up and he asked.

"It's no problem. Although I'm not mature, I've actually taken kendo lessons."

Hearing that Seiya had experience with kendo, the director was immediately delighted and asked, "So, can you wield this bamboo sword?"

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh—!”

Seiya did not answer the other party's question, but directly grasped the bamboo sword that was almost as tall as him with both hands and swung it in the air.

"Great! I originally gave you this role simply for Arima's sake.

But now it seems that there is no one more suitable for this role than you."

Looking at Seiya wielding the sword, the director showed a look of satisfaction and praised him generously.

For young children, we cannot be too harsh on their acting skills. After all, there are not many talented child stars like Maganai.

The kendo skills that Seiya has demonstrated so far are a perfect match for this role. As for his other acting skills, they are no longer important.

After all the preparations were completed, the actors naturally took their positions.

In addition to the two young actors, Seiya and Kana, another actor soon appeared.

Because it is a low-budget movie, it cannot have overly realistic special effects. With the current level of technology, it is not impossible to use a computer to directly synthesize a lifelike wolf, but the budget is simply not enough.

So in order to complete the performance, a police dog that looked like a wild wolf was quickly brought out by the staff.

"Kana-chan, you don't have to be too scared. This dog is a well-trained police dog. It's just been made up to look like a wolf.

Our personnel outside will command the police dog to pounce on you, and all you have to do, Seiya-kun, is to swing the wooden sword in your hand to repel it.

Despite the director's assurance, Kana was still frightened when she saw the police dog disguised as a wild wolf appear.

This is not a strange thing. After all, they are only five or six years old, and the police dogs acting as wild wolves on the opposite side are almost as tall as them even when they are on all fours.

For a child, such a huge creature flying towards him would not only scare him, but it would be a blessing if a normal child did not cry on the spot.

"Seiya-kun, don't be afraid. Just imagine it as a big dog flying towards you."

Before the filming officially started, the director did not forget to remind Seiya again.

Because in this scene, Kana is a girl who ran away from home, so it is normal for her to be afraid when encountering a wild wolf.

Seiya, who was able to protect Kana, could not show any cowardice in the face of the wild wolf. However, this was not an easy task for a child.

Previously, the director had thought of switching shots to skip Seiya's expression and give a close-up of the wolf or just shoot Seiya's back.

But the swordsmanship that Seiya just displayed made him feel that Seiya was a talented person, and it would be a pity if he didn't show up in the movie.
