Study of Re:CREATORS 61: Lecture 9 continued

Lecture 9 continued

Meteora found a grave issue in the story added by Suruga.
Suruga answers that the author knows what the character will do.
“Didn’t you guys just say that the creator understands the characters? I wouldn’t have it in any other way.”

Meteora and Selesia talk about the fragrance that pervades this world.
“This might be the last time I’m able to enjoy this smell.”
“It’s very fragrant.”
“The seasons and the wind, the dirt, and even the light all have a unique smell.”
Meteora uses a difficult phraseology. “keikyou” will be scribed as “馨香”, a word that means “the delicate fragrance”.
“That’s true. The smell of the tide and the smell of the trees. The smell of this steam and the smell of the sunlight. I never imagined a multi-layered world would have so much abundance.”
Meteora several times used this term “multi-layered” to describe the peculiarity of the real world. The real world is full of contaminants, at the same time it is abundant in sensory stimulants.

Reality is actually a very rich world.
But it is rather ironical, while education seeks to distract us from the richness of the real world, and tries to teach normative right answers only, fictional works amplify the richness of the real world.
“I never really thought about it before. But now that you mention it, I think you’re right.”
It seems that there are many bathtubs installed in Oedo Onsen spa.

Selesia and Meteora talk about Altair.
“I wonder if she… If Altair has ever felt that this world is beautiful.”
“Altair has been subject to many constraints from the beginning, all for a purpose.”
Japanese word “Seichu” is a highbrow expression, not introduced in everyday life, meaning “adjusted correctly in line”.
Meteora is highly intelligent, and her phraseology goes sometimes elusive, but her flexibility of thought is very high.

“She hasn’t been given the mental freedom to realize how abundant this world is. She has no spare time to reflect on the beauty of this world. It’s unfortunate. But that’s how it is.”

“Regardless of Altair, we must make our next move. And we definitely made our moves using the time and pieces that were given to us. Even so, …”
“It can’t be helped. The Creations that get away are like points added onto Altair’s score. We have no choice but to forget about them.”
“Anyway, there is no doubt that the situation has proceeded to the final stage. From here on, all we can do is play for miracle from heaven. Yes. Heaven… The gods are the ones who will watch over us and decide in the end.”
For the Creators, heaven is no other than the consciousness of those who approve their work.

“We’ve finally reached the 8th stage. In celebration of all our good work until now, cheers!”
A surprising side of Mr. Yatoji is revealed.
“Hikayu… I wanted to take this opportunity to ask you … It’s that … Can I sh— Shake your hand?”
“What? Shake my hand?”
“So he did play that game.”
“He asked Ohnishi for his autograph just now.”
“Appearances can be deceiving.”

“Kikuchihara, aren’t you going to have a drink?”
“I still have work to do.”
This anime will expose the back side of the characters unlike a fictional work that must be simplified in order to keep its consistency. Kikuchihara also exposes her back side.

“Sounds hard.”
“Kikuchihara, you’re so amazing. Everything went according to schedule.”
“That’s god-like progress.”
“Setting deadlines and postponing them is something that anyone can do. That’s not real management. If I did that here, then the world would be destroyed.”
