The price of the projection stone is 150 gold coins, which is astronomical for ordinary people.
But the gap between the rich and the poor in this world is completely unimaginable. Some poor people on the earth will be surprised that the rich have such a way of making money, while the common people and poor people in the different world have no jealousy or envy at all. Just numb, or take it for granted. What is even more tragic is that among the evil consequences of hierarchy and status differences, the gap between the rich and the poor is relatively the most acceptable. After all, for some people, who cares about the gap between rich and poor when the nobles seem to be able to kill at will.
As for the price of 150 gold coins... the price of the projection stone itself is relatively expensive, its material is worth 5 magic crystals, and the magic circle carved on it is not something ordinary mages can make, so Hill made "Natsume's Book of Friends" The price of the projection stone in the first season was set at 150 gold coins. It's really a money grab... Hill thought.
In the human world, projection stones are generally used to record some precious information, and most of them are held by colleges, churches, and high-level magicians. In another case, when some noble ladies hire private detectives to find evidence of their husband's derailment, they will also encounter projection stones... These usages also illustrate the preciousness of projection stones themselves.
The first season will be launched in the form of DVD sales. Hill wants to get the TV tower out before the next season, and he is ready to start contacting the royal family. In this case, Emperor Yulan's pleasure-seeking and arrogance provided Hill with an opportunity. A wise monarch would not allow the demons to leave a large formation on their own land—who knows what strange effects that formation hides. In fact, Hill really intends to hide some strange effects...
But for the time being, it’s just a plan. If Lich Alighieri and Specter Bins are sure that adding more functions will not cause human mages to find out, they can simply add a self-exposure function to the formation. If there is a conflict with humans in the future, they will directly threaten Said that I will blast your country to the sky. Isn't that wonderful.
But Hill thinks this possibility is relatively small. After all, the top mages in the empire can analyze the magic circle of the TV tower, but they lack a creative mind. , the opponent can also analyze the function of each inscription and rune. Secretly hiding the self-exposure program inside, it is estimated that it will be discovered, but it will cause extra problems.
Hill understands that he is not a protagonist who is born with different talents and can come from all directions, so he lets himself think about the ultimate goal as wildly as possible, but takes every step humbly. The former is because he is a demon king, and he must have a huge structure; the latter is because he is not perfect, and he must be cautious if he wants to achieve the previous goal.

In the end, the movie theater only had a break for five or six minutes, and the audience couldn't sit still, and began to ask for the next episode to be played quickly.
In the end, the cinema didn't make up for the ten minutes, so it accepted everyone's opinions and played the second episode.
The first thing that appeared was the opening song of the MV, and the sound of the lute sounded → this was made by the Fallen Angels Ensemble. Fallen angels are a rarer species than death knights. Their predecessors are generally well-known priests, so they usually play the organ and the like. Their musical literacy is extremely high, so Hill handed over the soundtrack to them.
The light blue sky and passing white clouds, followed by a teenager in a white shirt and black pants, with his head bowed, the wind blowing his brown hair. It is the protagonist Natsume Takashi.
"It's that look again, you're biting your lip trying to hide your inner cowardice"
A male voice with a clear voice sounded.
The pictures with gentle luster flashed by one by one.
"Why do you want to hold such pain in your arms and leave it to me quietly?"
Hill did not cancel the opening and ending songs in the anime. He intends to use this method to let everyone gradually accept modern songs and MVs, so as to prepare for the future release of the lower world singer Tiantuan. For this premiere, he deliberately moved the title song at the beginning of the first episode to the beginning of the second episode. The specific reasons have been explained above and will not be repeated here.
Speaking of which, when Hill is doing many things, he is also paving the way for the next step, such as drawing the two-dimensional image of real characters in magazines when shooting live-action movies, such as adding oriental culture when serializing novels, and now. After all, it is the culture of the earth. Hill is worried that sometimes the difference is too large and the car will overturn.
"Leave it to me quietly"
Does it mean to put some helplessness and pain in the movie first? Sarah thought, Is that what you mean
"If you can't do it right away, take it step by step"
The singing continued.
Sure enough, I want to express this meaning.
Most of the pictures in the opening song are full of warmth, including smiling Natsume and Mr. Kitty, as well as some humans and demons who have not yet appeared. A whole new world, though full of gloom like the real world, where tenderness and love prevail.
"We without wings on our backs are just doomed never to fly
I will use all my voice to call you so that you will not be lost
Let the lightness of your heart fly upwards, riding the wind and shouting in unison"
In the last scene of the title song, blue sky, grass, green trees, Natsume stands under the clear sky and looks into the distance, while Mr. Cat is lying on his shoulders. And next to him appeared a line of words "Natsume's Book of Friends".
It turned out to be like this... The female pirate Sarah closed her eyes.
Of course, in such a cruel real world, it is impossible to maintain gentleness unscrupulously like the anime world... Yes, in the real world, 'gentleness' seems to be just a kind of willfulness. However, even if the body cannot fly, the heart can "fly upward with lightness".
She is not alone in feeling similarly.
Even Duke Jackson was a little moved after listening to the opening song—the lyrics put the theme of the entire anime in front of everyone again.
Under such circumstances, the second episode begins, and this episode... Dead _(:з」∠)_ When the last believer dies, the gods that no one believes in also shine and disappear. Everyone burst into tears again. After the third episode, everyone was ready to cry to death in the movie theater, but the third episode was warm and funny throughout, and at the end, a human being who can also see monsters, Kaname Tanuma, appeared.
The previous two episodes have always said that Natsume is being rejected by others, and she is lonely and lonely on the human side, so it seems normal to fall to the demons according to that situation. The audience also felt that if Natsume chose to continue to be with the demons It's not unacceptable to be together, after all, the demons in the anime look so gentle. But it turned out that Tanuma was about to appear. He is like a certain symbol... The audience found that although it said on the surface that if humans do not accept it, then stay with the demons, but after humans accept it, they realize that it is really... the recognition from the same kind is How touching.
"Although I am not very good at expressing, I have recently begun to understand that whether it is a human or a demon, as long as the heart wants to contact others, then they are the same existence."
Finally, Natsume Takashi said this.
But maybe, for the different world, this refers not only to demons and humans, but also nobles and commoners, illegals and lawful... and more.
At the end of the third episode, this is the real unfinished business.
I met a human being who can see the demons, so what's next? what's next? Why is it gone? ! If this feeling of madness is placed on the earth, it must be: the author has broken a good chapter.
Originally, some people thought that the projection stone was a bit expensive, so they watched these three episodes first, but they found that they couldn't bear it at all! Want to see the back! Expensive is expensive. After all, the people who can afford to watch the premiere are not the ones without money.
So under such circumstances, the 1,000 sets of projection stones prepared by Hill for the first season of "Natsume's Book of Friends" were sold out... Magnolia City and Josh Kenny both had 500 sets.
This is probably too exaggerated. Even Joan Baker was shocked.
The other world is not the earth. There are few people here. It is true that Hill is plucking the wool, but he also understands that he can't go too far to pluck the nobles, but the problem is that the current situation is that the nobles come together to beg ? !
That price is already quite high for ordinary nobles, so Hill thought that the thousand sets would have to be sold slowly, and Joan Baker also meant the same. As a result, the popularity of "Natsume's Book of Friends" was unexpected... By the way, the Jackson family bought four sets, one set for each of the two young Jacksons, and one set for the old Jackson, who planned to buy a set as a tribute to Emperor Yulan , to see if Emperor Yulan can get something from it.
Hmm... If Yuki Midorikawa, the author of "Natsume's Book of Friends", knew that his animation works were used in another world to educate the emperor of the empire, I don't know how he would feel hahaha.
And many of Josh Kenny’s pirates chose to buy it, which led to a group of pirates watching "Natsume's Book of Friends" on the deck during the voyage. They were obviously a gang of murderers, arsonists, and evil people, but they stared at the screen. The warm story on the Internet burst into tears.
Later, there was an anecdote that two groups of pirates met at night, and when they were about to copy the guys, they found that "Natsume's Book of Friends" was playing on the opposite ship, so—
"As long as you look at Natsume, we are good friends."
So he put down his weapon, chatted happily with the wine, and spent the night on the other party's boat, rubbing a wave of projection stones in Natsume's friend's account.
The next day, it turned out that the group of pirates found out that the other party didn't buy the projection stone, but just loitered around... So they became angry and drove them off the ship. However, the friendship between the two parties has also ended.
In general, the first season was released in this way. Firstly, a lot of gold coins were harvested. Secondly, the influence of "Natsume's Book of Friends" is still expanding.
On this day, Emperor Yulan turned on the projection stone when he was bored.
