My Favorite Game Followed Me!-Chapter 750
Chapter 750
Anton understood what Remonulus said. That the elves were not used to movies yet and would probably like any movie he showed them, unlike the jaded Earthlings, who would sometimes nitpick even the tiniest flaws found in a movie. That also meant that the forest elves, when watching a movie somewhere they felt safe, would not hesitate to show their emotions on their faces.
Since Anton was probably now considered “safe”, they also did not care that he saw their expressions. That was why he could see the naked desire in some of the forest elves to jump into the movie to help the ordinary human Ripley rescue a little girl trapped amidst a horde of terrifying Aliens.
It was also the first time he had seen the movie, so his emotions were also affected. He felt a vengeful satisfaction when the female main lead destroyed the mother alien's eggs and did not regard the creature's offspring as something that needed to be protected. The Aliens were depicted as monsters that only had the instinct to conquer the place they reached for breeding and expanding their number. That was why Anton knew that the other elves were probably feeling the same thing regarding the destruction of the eggs.
When the scene arrived wherein they thought that the main character was betrayed, Anton felt hate, and he could see that the others did so, but felt so relieved when the spaceship arrived to rescue her and the girl the main lead was carrying.
Everyone, including Anton, was so energized and wanted to join the main lead during the final battle against the mother Alien. When they saw Ripley arrive inside a machine to fight off the mother Alien who was hunting the little girl, everyone stood up. They were also surprised when the android, which was being treated as an enemy since the Android in the first movie was an enemy, helped Ripley in fighting the mother Alien.
The ending, wherein the only ones left on the spaceship after the mother alien was finally thrown off from the spaceship and the only ones left were the female main lead, the captain of the soldiers, and the little girl, was thought-provoking, and they felt so many emotions that were hard to describe. It was a combination of relief that it was finally over, bittersweet that they were the only ones left, excitement since they could see the glory of space, and so much more.
Anton had to admit that Aliens was one of the best movies that he had seen, and it seemed like the forest elves agreed with him. He found it funny that the movies that he had shown to the people of this world were some of the greatest movies that were produced on Earth. Considering the great number of films that were made, only a small percentage could reach such quality. Thankfully, these people would probably not be disappointed much. Because of the circumstances, they would see very few movies. Once all of his furniture orders were completed and once he had given all the movies that were traded for the spellbooks, Anton would leave for the northern kingdom of Enundia.
At first, Anton planned to leave for the guest house immediately since he wanted to start studying the Array Books, but since he was also excited about the Aliens movie, he joined in the conversation. Everyone there expressed admiration for how the main female lead was depicted. She was just an ordinary human. Not even a soldier, but some kind of researcher, but she had all the vaunted courage of a mother protecting her young. Everyone knew that mothers were the fiercest beings in all the lands while protecting their children, and the movie depicted those emotions surprisingly well.

Because of how great the second Alien movie was, some of the younger forest elves surrounding Anton expressed their excitement about watching the third film in the franchise. Anton did not know if he should give a warning about the third film, but decided to just let it go. If they watched the rest of the Alien movies and became disappointed, then that's just part of life. It was impossible for everything to be great all the time.
Everyone was surprised, even Anton, when the old wizard Remonulus suddenly went to the front and announced that the rest of the films would not be shown moving forward. The old elf admitted that the kingdom purchased the rest of the franchise and that they would decide when the movie would be shown to everyone.
Anton wondered why the forest elves higher ups decided such a thing, but he just shrugged. As the old elf had said, they had already purchased the films and could decide when they would be shown. Even though he would have liked to watch the rest with the others, he could still watch them anytime he wanted.
Remonulus then went to where Anton was and asked everyone else to leave.
“Do you need me for something, Sir?” Anton asked.
“We’ve decided to control the showing of the films. It’s very decadent for us to keep watching them every day. Since you will not be staying with us for long. We’ve decided to buy more movies from you, but we would like to see the films first in a private viewing. Since we’ve decided to purchase the rest of the Alien film franchise, that’s a given, but regarding the rest of the movies, we would like to see at least two of them before we decide.”
Anton nodded his acceptance and immediately provided the rest of the Alien movies as well as Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope and Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. It was a good thing that his mini Globe of Browser Sharing was already available.
He gave brief condolences to the young elves in his mind regarding not being able to see new movies anytime soon.
After the old elf left, Enoril and the other young elves surrounded him again. They were polite enough not to ask what the old elf’s business was about. Surprisingly, when Anton left to rest, Enoril accompanied him and asked what the Invincible Wizard wanted.
He candidly told Enoril what he had talked about with the old elf wizard and laughed at the look of dismay that flashed in Enoril’s face. He remembered that Enoril was not that much older than the young elves who gravitated towards Anton whenever he was out and about the kingdom.
“Don’t worry, Enoril. Remonulus did not forbid me from showing the movies to others. We could just go somewhere private together with the others and watch other movies that I have not traded with them,” Anton promised the elf.
Enoril looked relieved, but then Anton saw the elf realized that once he left the kingdom, movie watching would stop. He saw sadness come into Enoril’s face, then acceptance. Anton knew that the elf accepted that they would just return to how it was before. Anton knew that in the long lives of the elves, ripples would appear that would greatly excite them, then the ripples would settle down, and they would return to how they were living before.
Anton just shrugged and said to Enoril that, at the very least, they knew that making movies was possible, and since the elves were great artists, there would come a time when they could make their own films. With the assistance of magic, someday, they could even rival the special effects graphics that his movies had.
