Chapter 3: To the Empire of Flight

The winter vacation period was much shorter than the summer break. In order to make the most of it, my recording schedule was pushed to its absolute limit yet again; it was just a repeat of the summer from hell. Actually, because it was shoved into a shorter time frame, it was even worse. Everything was crushed together far tighter than it had been over the summer. At this point, I was only returning home to sleep.

I could count on one hand the number of times I got to see my family over the winter break. There wasn’t even any time for us to sit down and chat, no dinners with all of us gathered together.

The production crew that had become my close allies after that summer from hell looked just as miserable. The never-ending recordings and buildup of fatigue left the makeup artist pale, and she tried many times to run away crying at the pain of being unable to spend time with her new partner—we made sure to catch her though.

The cameraman’s eyes were dead as he mindlessly carried out his work each day, his mind utterly broken by the packed schedule. He almost looked like an assassin that had lost all emotion after witnessing the brutal deaths of his parents at a young age.

Our director would often be caught staring with empty eyes at the charm his daughter made for him.

The rest of the staff would threaten to quit, would hiss Bendelio’s name with resentment, would suggest pretending I was ill so we could all go on a relaxing trip together. Each recording set was filled with swearing, hatred that couldn’t even be expressed in words, whispers of the devil that were hard to resist, and extreme situations where the true nature of us humans could be glimpsed.

And yet, somehow, we managed to make it past this too.

Let’s all go on a trip one day, after all. We can make a schedule where we do some recording at a hot spring resort, and make sure our own relaxation time is factored in. I’ll put a word in. Bendelio can go screw himself.

Twenty-six recordings in ten days were complete. Now I could spend the last few days on a fulfilling vacation—or at least, a fulfilling adventure—without a worry.
