Chapter 662: A Dream Ignites At Dusk



As the festival at Yukihime High School progressed, the transition from afternoon to evening painted the campus with a captivating blend of colors and emotions. The end of winter and the dawn of spring seemed to conspire with the warm day, creating an ambiance that felt almost enchanted.

The late afternoon sun began its slow descent, casting long, soft shadows over the bustling school grounds. The sky above turned into a mesmerizing gradient of colors-deep oranges, vibrant pinks, and hints of purple, each hue blending seamlessly into the next. This radiant sunset bathed the entire campus in a golden light, making everything it touched seem to glow with a gentle warmth.

The campus, fully crowded with students, families, and visitors, buzzed with life. Every path was teeming with people, and every booth was surrounded by eager participants. Laughter, conversation, and the occasional cheer filled the air, mingling with the distant sounds of music and the clinking of game prizes. The scent of freshly made food wafted through the air, mixing with the delicate fragrance of early spring blossoms, hinting at the season's arrival.

As the sun dipped lower, inching closer to the horizon, the first hints of night began to creep in. The vibrant colors of the sunset deepened, casting the campus in an even more magical light. The soft, warm breeze carried the feeling of change, a gentle reminder that winter was finally giving way to spring.

With the gradual arrival of night, the beautiful decorations that adorned the campus began to take on a new life. Paper lanterns, hung carefully from trees and strung across pathways, began to glow softly, their warm light contrasting beautifully against the deepening dusk. Each lantern was a small beacon, casting gentle pools of light that illuminated the faces of those who passed by. The trees, decorated with delicate string lights and colorful ornaments, seemed to sparkle as if touched by stardust, adding to the sense of wonder that filled the air. The buildings of Yukihime High School, normally austere and imposing, were transformed by the soft glow of the evening lights. Windows reflected the fading daylight, and the soft luminescence of the lanterns cast a warm, inviting glow across the stone walls. The central courtyard, where the festival was most concentrated, became a magical gathering place, with lights twinkling overhead and the sounds of merriment creating a festive atmosphere that was both lively and intimate.

As twilight deepened, the campus took on a different character, one that felt almost like a dream. The contrast between the warm lights of the decorations and the cool blue of the emerging night sky created a scene that was both peaceful and vibrant. People wandered the grounds, some still caught up in the excitement of the festival, while others slowed their pace to take in the beauty of the evening. The festival, now illuminated by hundreds of tiny lights, seemed to pulse with a life of its own, a celebration of both the day that was ending and the night that was beginning.

Despite the large crowds, the atmosphere remained warm and welcoming. The gentle hum of conversation and laughter was punctuated by the occasional cheer as someone won a prize or spotted a friend. Groups of students moved from booth to booth, their faces lit up with excitement. Families strolled through the festival, children pointing out the lights and decorations, their eyes wide with wonder.

As the sky darkened further, the paper lanterns and tree decorations became the true stars of the evening, their soft light creating an almost fairy-tale-like ambiance. The gentle sway of the lanterns in the breeze, the twinkle of lights in the trees, and the overall warmth of the evening made the campus feel like a different world, one where the ordinary had become extraordinary.

It was a night where time seemed to slow down, allowing everyone to fully immerse themselves in the magic of the moment. The festival, which had started as a lively celebration, now took on a more intimate, almost serene quality. It was a time for reflection, for taking in the beauty of the campus, and for appreciating the effort that had gone into creating such a memorable event.

As the last rays of the sun disappeared and night fully descended, the campus of Yukihime High School stood illuminated by the soft glow of the lanterns and lights. The festival would continue until 9 pm, but this moment-the transition from day to night-was one that would linger in the memories of all who were there. It was a time of warmth, light, and joy, a perfect ending to the day and a beautiful beginning to the night.

Theo walked with his friends, who were animatedly discussing their next move. Shizuka suggested they go watch the Drama Club's play, which was rumored to be particularly good this year. Ayia, walking beside Theo with a smile, nodded in agreement. Samantha chimed in, mentioning that the food stalls had some amazing snacks they hadn't tried yet, while June debated whether they should check out the haunted forest that the Nature Club had set up. Gwen and Shoko, walking a bit ahead, were already planning their strategy for the game booths, determined to win as many prizes as possible.

Despite the lively conversation around him, Theo found himself deep in thought, his mind drifting back to the performances they had just witnessed. The energy of the festival, combined with the raw talent he had seen on stage, sparked something within him. The idea had come to him during the performances, and it had taken root, growing more compelling with each passing moment.

Theo had lived two lives, a fact that still felt surreal at times. His first life on Earth had ended tragically, but it had also been filled with experiences that shaped who he was now. As he saved that bus filled with children, he never could have imagined that his story was far from over. The universe had granted him a second chance, and he had been living on Azure Star ever since. It was a gift he cherished, one that came with the knowledge and memories of his previous life.

Watching the students perform today, Theo had been reminded of the immense wealth of music from his past life-songs that had moved millions, defined generations, and brought people together. He knew that this world, Azure Star, had its own incredible music, but there was something about the songs he remembered from Earth that felt timeless, universal. The idea that had been quietly forming in his mind was now clear: he wanted to create his own entertainment company, a record label that would promote and manage talented artists, introducing the music of his past life to this world.

Theo glanced at Ayia, who was laughing at something Samantha had said. She, Aurora, and Samantha were the only ones who knew about his secret identity as Moonlight. A few months ago, he had released an album under that name, filled with songs from his past life, and it had taken the world by storm. The success of the album had been overwhelming, and it had shown him just how much potential there was for the music he remembered. But as exciting as Moonlight's success was, Theo wanted to do more than just relive the past—he wanted to build something that would last, something that could help others reach their dreams. The thought of artists like Eclipsed Chaos performing the powerful rock songs he remembered sent a thrill through him. The twin siblings, Rumi and Koan, had poured their hearts into their performance, and Theo could see that they had the potential to be something truly special. He imagined them singing some of the legendary rock anthems from Earth, and the thought made his heart race with excitement. If he could bring those songs to life here, if he could guide artists like Eclipsed Chaos to their full potential, it would be like creating a bridge between his two lives, a way to honor both his past and his present.

As they passed by a booth selling glowing trinkets, Theo couldn't help but smile. The possibilities were endless, and the more he thought about it, the more he wanted to make this dream a reality. The idea of nurturing talent, of seeing artists thrive under his guidance, was something that filled him with a sense of purpose. He knew it wouldn't be easy-starting an entertainment company from scratch would require a lot of work, resources, and connections. But Theo had never been one to shy away from a challenge, especially when it was something The believed in so strongly.

Plus, if he could create his animation studio far from Sakura City, then he also could create his record label away from Catadrid!

He had to admit that he would heavily depend on Sam's help to realize this project, but he knew how efficient and skillful she was in her job, so he didn't doubt that they could do it

again.

His friends' voices brought him back to the present, and he realized they were all looking at him, waiting for his input on what to do next. Ayia raised an eyebrow playfully. "What do you think, Theo? Haunted Forest or Drama Club?"

Theo grinned, shaking off his introspective mood. "Why not both? We've got plenty of time before the festival ends, right?"

They all laughed, agreeing that they could fit everything in if they planned it right. As they continued walking, Theo felt a renewed sense of determination. The festival was still in full swing, and there was so much more to enjoy tonight. But in the back of his mind, the idea of creating his own entertainment company simmered, a quiet resolve that would guide him long after the festival lights dimmed.

As they made their way through the lively crowds, Theo allowed himself to dream a little more. He imagined the artists he would discover, the songs that would touch hearts, and the moments of pure magic that only music could create. He could see it all so clearly, and he knew that this was just the beginning of something extraordinary.

The sun had set, and the festival was bathed in the soft glow of lanterns and string lights, butNôv(el)B\\jnn

for Theo, the night was just starting. The future was wide open, and he was ready to step into it, with his friends by his side and a dream that was only just beginning to take shape.
