Chapter 31

“You actually wrote a tragic ending!”
The Duke of Bones sat furiously at the long table in the hall as she looked at Joshua who was busy editing.
The Duke of Bones should have been furious at those despicable humans for barging into her territory, yet the moment she watched the complete sample of “Beauty and the Demon”, two tiny soulfires seeped out of her empty eye sockets, and she felt a little sentimental.
However, she did not wallow in it for too long as the Duke of Bones remembered that the screenwriter of the movie was just right beside her! So, the duke rushed over and gave him a live delivery of razor blades.
“Your Grace, if you are not satisfied with the story, you can rewrite the script make it end happily.”
Joshua held his charcoal pencil as he outlined a spherical shape, answering the duke without even raising his head.
“Then I shall bid my farewells for the time being. Your Grace, when I visit the next time, I will definitely invite you to perform in a theater. Here are the musical scores I’ve compiled.”
Joshua packed up the items on the table before he passed on a thick stack of musical scores to the Duke of Bones. In them were some of the greatest works by musical maestros from Earth.
“A performance… I do not expect such a near-impossible thing to happen, but Your Highness… if you have completed your next movie, please do give it to me in advance.”
It looked like the Duke of Bones had found a treasure as she put away the scores, which Joshua gave her before she responded to him.
Was she addicted to movies now? Such entertainment was indeed a novel thing for the denizens of this world.
“Of course.”
After accepting the request, Joshua picked up his suitcase and went up to the gate of the duke’s castle.
Ciri had already been waiting outside the castle for a long time now.

“We are going back to the human world. Excited?” Joshua walked down the stairs to Ciri’s side and asked.
“Returning to the human world? Wait… forget about that. Hurry up and play a game of Pong with me!”

Ciri threw down the gauntlet at Joshua. Ever since the completion of the filming, Ciri had been on a Pong showdown with Joshua. Of course, the result was her being defeated by Joshua with a ten-game winning streak.
That completely roused Ciri’s competitive streak.
“Can you wait until we get on the carriage?”
“Sure!”
Joshua had originally thought that the replay value of the little game was not that great. It was not even worth the playtime for Joshua. After all, with the various triple A masterpieces back on Earth, Joshua was already a little fatigued aesthetically.
Nonetheless, the essence of video games was to bring joy and fun to the players, and Pong seemed to bring great fun to Ciri, simple as it may be.

Ciri immediately ran into the carriage that Zenarth was driving before patting the seat, signaling for Joshua to quickly get on.
Joshua could already see what Ciri would become when the age of the Internet actually arrived.

He did not think that the age was not too far away since he had essentially brutally kicked the door of the era wide open.
