Chapter 642: Working Before The Leisure



08:02 AM, March 13, Saturday.

It was at that moment that Theo's car pulled up at Aurora's school front gate. Although the school festival would only start 2 hours later, most of the students decided to arrive a couple of hours before the event to take care of the last details of their respective clubs' sales. This meant that the school gate registered a steady influx of arriving students that Saturday morning.

"Okay, here we are, sis." Theo said as he pulled up the car next to the school gate, "See you in a couple of hours." He smiled at her.

"Thank you, big brother." She smiled excitedly before picking up her things and leaving the car, "See you later!" She exclaimed before closing the passenger door and running towards the school gate.

Theo chuckled as he saw her departing figure before driving his way back to his house. He got lucky as he didn't face much traffic on his way back, so 15 minutes later, Theo pulled into the long subterranean tunnel until he arrived at the mansion atop Pedrarruna Forest, the morning sun casting a warm glow over the vast estate. He had just returned from dropping off his sister, Aurora, at Yukihime High School, where she had important duties to fulfill as the student council vice-president ahead of the festival. With a few hours to spare before the festival began at 10 AM, Theo decided to immerse himself in his work.

Theo made his way through the grand corridors of the mansion, his footsteps echoing softly against the polished wooden floors. His destination was the professional sound studio he had set up soon after they moved in almost a year ago, and also the place where he worked when he needed to work with music.

Music had always been his passion, and this studio was his sanctuary, filled with state-of- the-art equipment and instruments.

The studio was an impressive space, with soundproof walls, a large mixing console, and an array of instruments neatly arranged. Theo settled into the comfortable chair in front of his computer and began working on the composition of the soundtrack for the last episode of the [SAO] anime his animation studio was producing.

The project was nearing its climax, and this final piece of music needed to capture the essence of the series and its emotional conclusion as it would be the soundtrack of the climax of the entire anime series. as it was the soundtrack of the last episode of the final fight.

It had been around 2 weeks since the Tokyo Studios finished the [SAO] Anime production and they entered the post-production phase where they needed to put together everything into a cohesive product.

Although the last episode of the anime would only be released several months from now, everyone in the studio, Theo included, agreed that the sooner they finished this production, the sooner they could focus on the new projects that Theo announced.

Even without any leaks, everyone in the company still was able to figure out that they would be producing [Naruto] and another animated movie on the day after Theo announced. And the departments who worked with post-production wanted to be part of the new projects as well. So, they still gave their all to the [SAO] production even if they didn't need to.

Theo's fingers danced over the keyboard, creating and adjusting melodies, harmonies, and rhythms. The sound of orchestral strings, powerful drums, and gentle piano notes filled the room as he tried to find the perfect layer of the different elements of the composition. He was completely absorbed in his work, his creative mind envisioning the scenes that would accompany the music. He added subtle nuances and flourishes, tweaking the tempo and dynamics to evoke the right emotions.

As he worked, Theo's thoughts occasionally drifted to Aurora and the festival. He imagined the bustling activity at the school, with students setting up booths, arranging decorations, and finalizing last-minute details. He felt a surge of pride for his sister and her dedication to the student council. Despite their busy schedules, they always found time to support each other.

After a couple of hours of focused work, Theo played back the preliminary composition, listening intently to the product that he achieved in the last couple of hours. The music swelled and ebbed, perfectly capturing the climactic moments and the bittersweet farewell of the anime's final episode. Although he wasn't completely satisfied with his progress, he saved his work and shut down the equipment, he could work on the composition another time because when he glanced at the clock, Theo realized it was almost time for the festival to begin.

He stood up, stretching his arms, and felt a sense of accomplishment. With the soundtrack almost complete and the anticipation of the festival ahead, he was ready to join Aurora and witness the culmination of all their efforts. Theo left the studio, the melodies of his composition still echoing in his mind and prepared to head back to Yukihime High School, eager to support his sister and enjoy the festivities.

Theo stepped out of the steamy bathroom, a towel wrapped around his waist, water droplets still glistening on his toned body. His long silver-grey hair clung to his shoulders, and he ran a hand through it, pushing it back from his face. His silver eyes sparkled with the excitement of the day ahead. He had just finished a refreshing shower and was ready to prepare for the Yukihime School Club Festival, where his sister, Aurora, was already hard at work as the student council vice president.

As he walked into his closet, Theo's phone buzzed on the dresser. He picked it up, smiling as he saw the name on the screen- Babe <3. Answering the call, he could hear the familiar warmth in her voice. "Morning, babe!" she greeted cheerfully. "Are you almost ready for the festival?"

"Morning, babe," Theo replied, his voice equally light with a smile. "Just finished showering. Getting dressed now."

Ayia laughed softly. "Perfect timing. I wanted to see if you wanted to meet before leaving, or if we meet there at the festival."

Theo appreciated her offer. "Hmm, I'll drive you and Shizuka to the festival. What about the others? Did they say when they would go?"

"Sounds like a plan," Ayia agreed. "We'll be ready in 10 minutes. And I saw the group chat, and everyone was saying that they would arrive around 11 AM."

"Great!" Theo smiled happily that his friends would help with his sister's festival, "See you in a few minutes then." He laughed.

As Theo ended the call, he felt a rush of excitement. He quickly dressed, choosing a casual yet stylish outfit appropriate for the festival: a fitted black t-shirt, dark jeans, and a light grey jacket. He glanced in the mirror, running his fingers through his hair once more, ensuring it

was in place.

With a final look around his room to make sure he hadn't forgotten anything, Theo made his way downstairs. The mansion was quiet, the calm before the storm of the busy festival day. He took a moment to check on Angel and Maya, who were lounging lazily in the sunlit living

room.

Theo drove his car to the nearby manor where Ayia and Shizuka lived. The festival promised excitement, competition, and a chance for the clubs to showcase their hard work. With Ayia and his friends by his side and Aurora leading the efforts at the school, Theo felt ready to embrace the day and enjoy the festival to the fullest.
