I am the Entertainment Tycoon

Cardinal Abode Terminal, Sakura City.

8:11 PM, Thursday, December 10th.

The night was cold, but the terminal was equipped with a high-tech heating system.

As the train station with the biggest influx of passengers in the world, this station had the most technological features that the Sakura Abode Country could produce.

After all, the government did not want foreigners to think that their country did not invest in itself.

As the most developed country in the world, the Sakura Abode Country had an image to be careful with.

That's why all the trains were new and maintained regularly.

So, on that cold night of December, the station was crowded as always.

People coming and going.

And a particular group of people could be seen at Gate 2-K, they were a strange bunch.

They seemed oddly excited about something as they arrived at the gate 20 minutes before the train arrived.

"I hope everyone knows what you are doing by going to Elffire City with us." Oichi said as he looked at his former employees.

"Oichi, Emina, and I do not have much choice as we have to accept this proposition to pay our debts. But you guys are different. Your situation is not as serious as ours." Kanai reasoned.

"You will have to abandon Sakura City. Do you guys realize that?" Emina asked with a serious voice.

After she told everyone about Ryoko's proposal, they almost instantly agreed with the proposal.

Only Emina, Oichi, and Kanai were indecisive because their condition was different from the rest.

They would basically own the studio money if they accepted.

And they didn't even know how the studio was able to find out the truth about their matter.

There was a possibility that Tkyo Studios was the culprit.

But after thinking for a while, they discarded the idea.

Their ordeal with the leak of episodes happened months ago, and after getting to know that studio was only opening now, it could not be them.

So, after weighing the pros and cons, the three of them decided to accept Ryoko's proposal.

It was everything that they could ask for.

They would pay off their debt with justice, and they would be able to keep working in their dream job.

Most of the sadness that they felt because of their unfair ordeal was because they would not be able to work anymore in the job they loved so much.

It was not by chance that these three people opened a studio to work with sound effects.

They breathed and lived in this job.

They loved with all their heart.

So, when they saw that they would not be able to work in their dream job anymore, they despaired even harder.

It was then that Ryoko's proposal saved them.

Hearing that they could work with sound effects again was enough to entice them to go to Elffire City.

It was because of all these reasons that the three of them did not have any choice other than to head to Elffire City.

But their former employees were a different story.

They did not have any debt to pay, and their reputation was not as bad as the three owners of the Grotto Sound Studio.

If they worked hard enough, they would be able to write off their bad reputation.

That's why Kanai said that they had a choice while she, Oichi, and Kanai did not have one.

But what the three of them didn't know was that these people did not care about that.

They did not want to work for people who did not believe in their word.

They knew that they didn't do anything wrong, so why did they have to suffer?

They would rather work for people who believed in them.

And the studio in Elffire City believed in them, so they did not even hesitate in leaving Sakura City with their former bosses.

Even though that would be a huge change in their lives.

After all, most of them were living in Sakura City for years, and changing to a new city was a huge deal.

But even then, no one hesitated.

"We are aware of that, boss."

"Yeah, don't worry about us."

"I'm so excited to start working again!"

"I wonder what we will work with."

They brushed off their former bosses' warnings with smiles and excited voices.

Oichi, Kanai, and Emina just smiled when their antics.

They could see that no one didn't even take seriously their warning, their excited faces showed it all.

But they could not say anything because they were excited too!

After not working for months, they were excited to start working with sound effects again.

"Miss Riverdale said to me that we will be tested tomorrow, and if we pass, we can start working next Monday." Emina said as she remembered Ryoko's words.

"I wonder what the test will be about."

"I'm more curious about this Tkyo Animation Studio. I never heard of it."

"And they chose to open outside Sakura City!"

"Did you guys hear anything about it?"

"Well, today when I organizing my bags, I texted a buddy of mine who works as an in-between animator freelancer, and you guys never gonna believe what he said to me."

Everyone leaned in to hear better what the guy was going to say, but after a few seconds, the guy just stood there with a playful smile on his face.

"For gods sakes enough with suspense! Tell us already!" Someone shouted impatiently.

The guys looked at the angry faces of his friends and former bosses and became a little afraid.

He coughed a little to distract them and started telling the story right away.

"He said that last month the Tkyo Studios were recruiting animators from Sakura City. It seems that they contacted all the freelance animators they could find to go for an interview in Elffire City. So, it is indeed true that the studio just opened. My friend was one of the animators who were able to get hired. He said that anime production started last week." The guy said.

"Wow! Did they pull freelance animators? They are bold."

"Well, they chose to open a studio outside Sakura City. Only freelancers would accept to go there."

"What did your friend tell you about the studio? Is it good?" Someone asked the guy who told the story.

"That's the thing. I asked my friend multiple times about the studio. He only said that I had to go there to see it. And that under no circumstances I should pass the opportunity to be hired by the Tkyo Studios. He said that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. And it would change my life just like it changed his life." The guys replied with a wry smile.

"Wow! That's big words, right there!"

"It sounds so mysterious!"

"Now I'm even more excited about this test!"

"I want to know why this guy thinks so highly about this studio."

"I can't wait for tomorrow's test!"

Oichi, Emina, and Kanai looked at each other when they finished hearing the story.

It was not a surprise to say that they were as intrigued as the others.

They could not wait for tomorrow to arrive.

And it was as they talked about the test tomorrow that the train arrived at the gate.

A while later, they boarded the train and found their seats.

They were ready for the journey.

Next stop: Mystery Animation Studio!
