Chapter 334 Chill Up The Spine
Dining Table, Pedrarruna Manor, Elffire City.
Theo and the girls were having breakfast after an exhausting workout.
"How are the preparations for the party?" Theo asked as he poured coffee into his mug.
"Hmm, the venue and the decorations were already taken care of. The only thing left is the food." Sam replied as she took a bite off her pancakes.
"I also already bought the ingredients Ayia told me to buy." June added as she took a sip from her milk tea.
Theo nodded and smiled when he heard that.
Because he was busy with the production of his album, he had to leave the planning of the orphanage's party for the girls.
Some days ago Theo decided to throw a party for the children from the orphanage.
A New Year's Party.
And now that he finally was free from the album production, he could help the girls with the planning. fre𝙚𝓌𝒆𝚋noѵel.c𝚘m
"Leave the food operation with me. I'm finally free to help you girls." Theo declared with a smile.
"Finally." Sam snorted.
"I thought you would leave everything to us." June added.
"Sorry, I was swamped with work the last few days. But I will help 100% now." Theo replied with a wry smile.
He couldn't blame them for their satisfaction as he would also be annoyed if he was in their shoes.
"I took care of the gifts. There are toys, books, cellphones, and other things that kids and teenagers may like." Ayia commented suddenly.
It was evident that the orphanage didn't only have children living in it.
There were a lot of teenagers too.
These teens were the kids that had a very slim chance to be adopted as the families preferred to adopt children.
Theo knew very well how it felt to wait to be adopted, but it never happened.
That's why he wanted to give these teenagers the best life they could have in the orphanage.
He was sure that they would have fun in the amusement park as even adults liked going there.
Therefore, he especially asked Ayia to buy gifts that teenagers may like.
Cellphones, books, video games, and so on.
"That's amazing, Ayia! Good job!" Theo exclaimed happily.
The other girls also complimented Ayia when they heard that.
They were all excited about the festival.
"Anyway, are you going out today again, Theo?" Sayuri asked when she noticed that Theo was dressed to go out.
Yesterday he had Aurora's graduation, but today was different.
"Yeah, now that I finished my previous project. I will go to the animation studio. I have to inspect the anime production." Theo replied simply as he ate his fried bananas.
Ever since the opening of the studio at the beginning of the month, Theo hadn't visited the studio.
Which was extremely irresponsible of him as he was the Animation Director.
Which meant that Theo had to supervise the whole production of the anime.
However, with his album production, he had to leave that be to sometime later.
So, it was evident that Theo had to go back to work as he didn't want to mess up the production of his first anime.
There were only 3 months until the release of the first episode, and he had to race against time.
"Oh, the anime?" Sayuri asked with shining eyes.
As the Head Manager of Theo's publishing company, she knew well about his ideas.
She knew that he planned to produce anime adaptations of all the works that he published in the Fuji Jump.
He also commented with her that the first anime he chose to produce was based on the [Sword Art Online] Light Novel.
And with her position in the company, she knew well about all the works they published.
Therefore, it was safe to say that Sayuri was extremely excited to watch the anime from the works they published.
It has always been a dream of her to see an anime from a work she published.
Now, with Theo's help, she finally was able to realize her dream.
That's why she felt so excited about the idea to watch Theo's anime.
Plus, she knew that Theo would produce an amazing anime as he was extremely talented.
"Yeah, you guys already head the [SAO] novel, right? The anime I'm producing is an adaptation of it." Theo replied with a small smile on the corner of his lips.
He didn't really care that the girls knew about his identity as the boss of an animation studio.
So, he didn't mind telling them about his plans.
Plus, he knew that they wouldn't tell anyone else.
"Wow, I read the novel, but I never imagined that I would watch the anime so soon." June commented with an excited voice.
Some time ago she got the news about Theo owning a publishing house.
She got curious and purchased Theo's mangas and light novels.
And like everyone else, she was enchanted by the stories she read.
Naruto, Hataraku Maou-sama, Sword Art Online, and Tree of Joy.
She read the four works that the Fuji Jump published and she became a fan of all of them.
She even purchased some merchandise products sold in the online store of the Fuji Jump.
Her new pajamas were an extra-large t-shirt with a Naruto image on the front.
So, it was obvious that she was excited about the prospect of watching the anime adaptations from the mangas and light novels she read.
The other girls were feeling the same thing.
All of them had read Theo's works.
Theo took care of sending each one of the new copies of the works as soon as they were released.
That way they didn't have to go to the bookstores to buy the new editions.
It was the perks of knowing the boss.
"Yeah, we are planning to launch several animes next year." Theo said with a mysterious smile on his face.
With the acquirement of the 22 Studio Ghibli Movies, Theo was planning to produce one movie and the Naruto Anime.
And if his animators were up for the task, he would produce another anime.
But if he didn't know yet if it would be about the [Hataraku Maou-sama] or the [Tree of Joy].
He would decide on that later, first he needed to evaluate his animators as they worked on the [SAO] Anime production.
As it was said before, several animators were being evaluated in secret.
It depended on their results if the studio would be able to work as he envisioned.
"Quit acting all mysterious!" Sayuri snorted with an annoyed face when she saw his smile.
"Yeah, I agree!" June also snorted.
Aurora could only giggle when she saw the girls' reactions, as his sister, she knew what Theo was planning.
After all, he told her all of his plans.
So, she had fun seeing their annoyed faces, she could understand why her brother liked acting mysteriously.
Theo could only laugh wryly when he saw the girls ganging up on him.
He didn't do anything wrong, right?
"Well, you guys will understand later." Theo declared as he sipped his coffee and averted his eyes.
These girls made him scared when they looked at him like that.
The girls became even more annoyed when they saw him feigning innocence.
'Urgh! So infuriating! He teases us and doesn't even tell us why!' The girls thought.
'Maybe if we attack him at the same time we can overpower him...' The girls pondered.
Suddenly, Theo felt a chill crawling on his spine as if someone was thinking of doing something evil to him.
He glanced at the girls, and he saw that they were looking at him with shining eyes.
He felt that his intuition was correct when he saw their eyes.
'They are thinking bad about me!' He exclaimed inwardly.
"Uhum! So, what you have planned for today?" Theo said with an innocent voice to change the subject.
"It's my first day of holidays, so I'm going to watch animes all day long!" Aurora declared with a proud face.
Different from other days, that morning was dressed in her pajamas instead of her school uniform.
Therefore, it was evident that she planned to relax that day.
"Damn it! I envy you, Aurora-chan!" Sam exclaimed with a wry smile.
"Yeah, I wish I was back in high school too." June laughed.
They all missed the easy time they had when they were younger.
As now that they were adults, they had so many responsibilities that they barely had time to relax.
And their situation was better than the majority part of the population as they had amazing jobs, but even then, they were not spared from adult responsibilities.
"Don't feel sad. At least we are going to relax next week when we go to the Heart Islands." Aurora consoled them.
The girls felt their spirits lift up when they heard that.
Indeed!
Next week they would be in the tropical paradise of the Heart Islands! 𝐟r𝒆ℯ𝘄𝑒𝒃𝚗𝒐𝘃e𝗹.c𝘰𝐦
They would be in front of the majestic sea as they enjoyed their holidays!
They couldn't wait.
