SCIAW: Chapter 531: Building Our City

The study door had been repaired.

It must be said that the Miyano sisters were quite efficient.

Sitting at the desk in the study, Ren took out a few cards and arranged them.

The World upright, Death upright, the Fool upright.

“So, the Key of Light has no intention of seeing me yet?”

This divination was likely influenced by fate.

If this divination had yielded a positive answer, then he would have been able to easily find the location of the Key of Light.

But if the result was like this, then this answer was given by the Key of Light.

Ren paused, rearranged the tarot cards, and performed another divination.

“Then, the Tenebrous World and the Knowledge Moor also have no intention of seeing me?”

The Star reversed, the Fool upright, the World upright.

“Hmm?”

This answer made Ren pause.

“The Tenebrous World and the Knowledge Moor are not unwilling to see me, but rather want to meet them during my travels?”

“So, the Tenebrous World and the Knowledge Moor both exist in this world?”

After shuffling the cards again, Ren this time only drew one card.

The World upright.

“Correct.”

Clearly, this answer was also given by the Key of Light.

However, Ren was currently quite troubled. He was not a person who liked to go out. He could only encounter the Tenebrous World and the Knowledge Moor during his travels, which completely meant they wanted to pull him out of his home.

This guess was also leaning toward the ideal, but where the Tenebrous World and the Knowledge Moor were hidden indeed required some searching.

Ren did not continue to dwell on it.

Finding those two Sefirot was not an easy task.

Now, it was better to sleep first.

The next day at noon.

“Oh~”

Today, the Occult Research Club welcomed a new guest, Ikeda Chikako, who was taking detailed notes with a pen and notebook.

“Hmm, I can roughly imagine a general picture.”

Based on a general description of the situation, Chikako also outlined a picture in her mind from these descriptions.

Recording some key vocabulary would be of great help for her subsequent story writing.

“Chikako, you are still so eager to come and listen to Ren’s description of the story. Is the TV series going to be scheduled so early?”

Sonoko looked at Chikako’s notes and could not help but ask.

“The filming of the TV series has not started that quickly, but the script development still needs to begin.”

“Especially since the story is a Western Cthulhu-type story with fantasy elements, Ayako plans to build Tingen City, where the story begins, directly in reality according to the situation in the story.”

Looking up, Chikako directly answered Sonoko’s question.

“Build a Tingen City directly in reality?”

Sonoko’s eyes widened. She had not expected her sister to have such an idea.

“My sister is too bold. Building an entire city just to film a TV series, the cost would be too high!”

“The cost is quite high, but after it is built, the benefits are also considerable.”

Chikako was also shocked when she first heard this plan. Building a Tingen City like the one in the story was not a small construction project.

However, considering that the story background is in a post-apocalyptic world and most of the buildings are wooden, the construction period could be significantly shortened.

The project would certainly still be large, but it was not necessary to build the entire Tingen City all at once.

“The story scale constructed by Ren is very large, and there are also interesting stories within it, as well as corresponding power systems.”

“So, Ayako plans to build Tingen City, which is needed for filming the TV series, into a city with a normal ecosystem. As for the life within it, that will all be Suzuki Zaibatsu’s business.”

“Just the Suzuki Zaibatsu alone is not enough, right?”

Kaguya interjected.

Chikako poked her cheek with the pen cap, then finally nodded slightly.

“Indeed, it is still far from enough.”

“The land approved alone is not small. After all, building an entire city is not a trivial project.”

Hearing this, Chika’s eyes lit up, and she immediately spoke.

“In that case, I can ask my grandfather for help.”

“Land for a prosperous city certainly cannot be approved, but a plan with the purpose of building a film city can be approved. The only problem might be that the location will be relatively remote.”

Chikako looked at Chika with pleasant surprise. She had forgotten about this second young lady of the ruling family.

“If that is the case, I will get involved too.”

Kaguya thought about it and also wanted to lend a hand.

“Then I will help too.”

Nagi also decided to lend a hand. The value of building this city for filming TV series was not low.

The key was that the establishment of this city would also greatly help Ren.

“Then I will come too!”

“Hmm, me too.”

Izumi and Sakuya also made their decisions.

Filming a TV series to build a city sounded like a foolish thing, but all the rich second-generation young ladies present had decided to help.

This made Ren, who had been telling the beginning of the story, a little bewildered.

“No, are you really planning to build Tingen City?”

All the wealthy young ladies present had a slight smile.

“On one hand, it is for the filming of the TV series. We can build a city with an exclusive IP, using this IP as a selling point to outline a more suitable living environment.”

“Because it is a city built around filming, it means that even if some abnormal situations truly appear in that city in the future, they can all be brushed off as filming.”

Kaguya thought of this first.

After all, it was a city built for filming, so if any abnormal situations occurred in the city in the future, they could always be explained away as filming.

That meant they would not have to hide completely in the future, and they could even become some of the characters in the story.

“And that city also needs to meet the filming conditions. There, we can try to build different religions, and similarly, we can also build the Church of the Fool within the city.”

“With Fujiwara’s help, we can also arrange for all the police in that city to be our people.”

“So, this is using the name of film and television to create a city that belongs to us.”
