"I should have been there, too."
"I should have been the main character…"
In the abandoned warehouse, Feitan, filled with resentment, followed Phinks while muttering nonstop.
Phinks could only sweat nervously and pretend not to hear him.
Well, as the popularity of the Hundred Beasts Squad grew, Feitan's resentment also grew.
If he started learning Nen now, he might have directly awakened On instead…
"We're really becoming increasingly popular now!"
Uvogin waved his arms, full of fighting spirit.
Although he wore different monster suits each time to play the monster-man, he thoroughly enjoyed performing as a villain.
And many kids liked the costumes of the monsters, too.
Uvogin was also immersed in it.
Of course, the smaller, more feminine monster roles, like the thorn monster or the Cat monster, were played by Machi, who was eager to perform as well.
"And Luke also said, if it's always just the Shocker Factory sending out monster-man to get beaten by the Hundred Beasts Squad, the audience will get bored quickly. So we need different types of villains to make the story more dramatic and engaging."
As Chrollo spoke, his pen rustled against the paper.
"For example, Feitan and Phinks can play evil villains from different high-ranking officers. The high-ranking officers could be divided into three: start, middle, and final."
"The first higher-level official is reckless and impulsive, the second is cunning and sly, and the third is a schemer…"
"Based on their different personalities, we can send out different types of monsters. For the reckless and impulsive, we'd send hyenas; for the cunning and sly, we'd send vultures; for the schemer, we'd send foxes."
"That way, we can design different traps to target the Hundred Beasts Squad, and then the Hundred Beasts Squad will overcome them and grow as they defeat their enemies…"
"Finally, at the grand finale, the Shocker Factory would appear, revealing overwhelming strength… Yes, that's perfect!!"
Chrollo was very satisfied with the outline he had come up with.
It also set the tone for the entire work.
With the Hundred Beasts Squad so well received, of course, Chrollo and the others wanted to make it the best it could be!!
"The plot is getting more and more exciting…"
After reviewing the story, everyone agreed.
Uvogin rubbed his chin.
"It's just that the content and intensity of the filming will probably increase significantly."
Nobunaga glanced at him: "What? Are you scared? Feeling like you can't keep up?"
"Idiot, what nonsense are you talking about? Filming is fine, but as for the other aspects…"
The voiceovers were still manageable, the narration was handled by Sheila, but there was still other work…
They couldn't let Luke keep serving as their logistics support, doing these kinds of menial tasks forever, right?
After confirming Luke's leadership and core position, everyone subconsciously felt that Luke shouldn't keep handling the small chores.
Machi pondered: "If that's the case, we might be short on manpower."
Franklin rubbed his head: "So, should our team recruit new members?"
Shalnark snapped his fingers: "When the team recruits new members, they should be members of the troupe, right?"
Phinks leaned over with interest: "Oh? That's fine, but what kind of troupe are we?!"
Feitan said quietly: "Of course, a theater troupe."
Pakunoda chuckled: "I think we're more like a performance group than a theater troupe."
Sheila nodded, her face filled with anticipation: "Luke also said he wants to take us to the outside world…"
"Then let's call it the brigade!"
Sarasa concluded excitedly.
"Brigade?"
At this point, Chrollo put down his pen and looked up curiously.
"But doesn't a Brigade usually mean over a thousand members? The word Brigade means…"
"Don't worry about the details!"
Uvogin waved his hand casually: "Each of us is worth a hundred people."
"Anyway, let's call it the brigade."
Luke stepped in at the right moment while smiling: "I think the brigade is a pretty good name, too."
Giving the group a name would greatly enhance their sense of belonging and honor.
Sure enough, everyone's excitement clearly surged again.
"But I think we could add something at the beginning."
Machi thought for a moment: "Like calling ourselves some kind of brigade."
"Now, let us welcome Star Travelers' Brigade, their performance is about to begin, doesn't that sound great!!"
"Star Travelers' Brigade, assemble your members, that really sounds wonderful!!"
"It really sounds nice, it immediately gives me motivation!!"
Everyone started excitedly chiming in one after another: "The audience is gradually shifting their attention from the screen to us."
"Is this what Luke meant by… star-chasing?"
"Ha, who would have thought there'd be a time when we would be this popular…"
"Yeah, yeah, right now they are happy just watching us, but once we formally establish this troupe and announce performances under its name…"
"Then we will definitely be even more popular!!"
"How about we just call ourselves the Beast Troupe, using the name of our work? What do you guys think?!"
"Uh, Luke said it'd be best to keep reality and movie separate…"
Well, everyone collectively ignored Uvogin's suggestion of the name Beast Troupe.
Uvogin's enthusiasm was good, but some of his ideas always seemed a little off-putting.
"I think this name is pretty good. It's our first work, so it's so memorable…"
Uvogin muttered.
"Uvogin looks really excited."
Sarasa smiled and praised: "Completely different from before."
"Me? At first, I just wanted to accept anything and everything…"
Uvogin chuckled: "But now, with a clear vision of what I want and what I want to do, things are definitely different!!"
"Then what is it that you want to do?"
Luke asked with a smile.
