Chapter 629: First Concert Scheduled
Chapter 629: First Concert Scheduled
Kitchen, Pedrarruna Manor, Elffire City.
6:04 PM, Wednesday.
Theo had just arrived from the animation studio and he started cooking dinner soon after, Aurora would arrive home shortly and he wanted to enjoy his day off from his restaurant to have a hearty dinner with his sister.
Ever since Aurora started her school year, she hadn't gone to the restaurant to help after school hours, so for most of the week Theo would only see her one or two times per day. The first time would be when they woke up in the morning for their work out and the second time would be when he arrived at night from his shift at the restaurant. But sometimes Aurora would go to sleep before Theo even arrived.
That's why Theo made an effort to spend time with his little sister when he had free time.
Without much surprise, a few minutes later Sylph announced that Aurora's car had just entered the property.
Theo smiled and just continued focusing on cooking their dinner.
5 minutes later, Theo heard hurried steps before a lively teenage girl entered the kitchen with shining eyes.
"Big brother! What a delicious smell! What are we having?" Aurora asked with a happy smile.
Theo chuckled before answering, "Welcome home."
"Oh, I'm home." Aurora replied embarrassedly.
She had been so enthralled by the food smell that she had forgotten to greet her brother.
Theo shook his head with a smile on his face before saying, "We are having Meat Stew with Steamed Vegetables."
Aurora's eyes shone brightly as she loved this dish.
Theo laughed when he saw her expression, "Why don't you go take a shower and change your clothes? When you finish it the dinner will be ready."
"I'm on it!" Aurora exclaimed before running out of the kitchen.
Theo had a happy smile on his face as he went back to cook dinner.
And just like he promised, 20 minutes later, after Aurora took a shower and changed into comfy clothes she usually wore at the house, Theo finished cooking dinner.
With Aurora's help, they set up the dining table before they sat down to eat.
As they ate the delicious dinner that Theo had just cooked, they talked happily with each other.
"Guess what Ayia told me today." Theo said with a small smile.
"Hmm, did she schedule Moonlight's first concert?" Aurora asked with a thoughtful expression.
Theo showed a surprised expression as he said, "Wow! Exactly that! How did you guess it?" Aurora showed a prideful expression as she replied, "Well, you would only ask that if she told you big news, and as your agent, the probability of the news being Moonlight-related is fairly high. Plus, she told me that she was planning to schedule a live performance for you soon. So, I just connected the dots." She giggled.
"Great guess!" Theo laughed.
"But tell me more about it!" Aurora suddenly exclaimed happily.
"Ayia said that we should enjoy the weekend that we travel to Catadrid for the Saphire. So, she scheduled a concert on Saturday, March 27th, one day before the award, at a venue in Catadrid." Theo replied.
"Wow! That sounds so awesome!" Aurora exclaimed excitedly.
"Yeah, Ayia said that the news about the concert will be out today, and the tickets will start to sell over the next weekend." Theo smiled excitedly as well.
"Are you nervous, big brother?" Aurora asked with a mischievous smile.
"A little bit." Theo chuckled, "Ayia said that the venue has an average capacity, but at the maximum capacity it can house at least 20 thousand people."
"Ah, that much?" Aurora asked in surprise, "Now I'm starting to get nervous as well."
"You better be, because you'll perform 'Save Your Tears' with me." Theo smiled.
"Oh, no. I don't think I'm ready to perform for such a large crowd, big brother." Aurora said nervously.
"Me neither." Theo laughed, "So, we will have to help each other to get ready in the next few weeks."
Aurora could feel Theo's trust in her when he said that, so she fought off her nervous feelings and smiled at him as well.
Truthfully, Theo was feeling more than nervous about his first live concert. He was feeling so much more.
Would the crowd like his performance?
Would he be good enough to honor the origin of these songs?
Would he be able to guard his secret identity from the public?
These were some of the few questions that constantly passed through his mind as he thought about his first concert.
"So, did you talk with talk with Sayuri about borrowing the old printing machines?" Theo asked as he changed the subject.
"Yeah, she agreed!" Aurora smiled happily, "Now we have virtually no big problems to solve before the festival."
"That's great. I'm looking forward to seeing the talented people from your school." Theo
laughed.
"And you, big brother? Didn't you say that today you would assign new projects for the animation studio? Tell me about them!" Aurora asked curiously.
"Yeah, and I did that." Theo smiled, "One of the projects you are already aware of. We started the Naruto animation production. While the other project is an animation movie, I'll leave this project hidden for a while. I want you to watch this movie without spoilers." Theo
chuckled.
"Ahh, you are a meanie, big brother!" Aurora complained, "But I'm so excited to see that we will be able to watch Naruto soon!" She said with an excited face.
Aurora was one of the biggest fans of Naruto.
Just like that, the two siblings had a hearty dinner as they talked about a bunch of stuff.
"Do you want to practice some songs with me in the sound studio?" Theo asked when they
finished eating.
"Yeah! That sounds fun." Aurora agreed without hesitation.
A while later, the two of them arrived at the sound studio of their manor.
"Did you already record the anime intro song?" Aurora asked.
"Hmm, not yet." Theo replied, "These past few weeks I have been so busy with everything else that I didn't have time to start recording."
"But do you at least already have the song composed, big brother?" Aurora asked worriedly.
"Oh, I already have that. Don't worry." Theo said with a reassuring smile when suddenly his
eyes shone.
"Hey, why don't we start recording it today? This way we can practice our skills while being productive." Theo asked excitedly.
"Do you want me to sing the song?" Aurora asked nervously.
"Yes, the song I have is for a female voice, and your voice is perfect for it." Theo said with a
brilliant smile.
"Are you sure?" Aurora asked as she bit her lips nervously.
"Of course! Without a doubt. You should trust your brother more." Theo laughed.
Seeing her brother so sure about this decision, Aurora felt much more confident. "Ok, then, I think it will be fun to sing an anime intro song." Aurora let out a beautiful smile.
In this way, the siblings spent the rest of the night working on the song that would feature in the intro of the [Sword Art Online] anime.
