I am the Entertainment Tycoon

After protecting themselves against the evil and bad luck, Theo and the others climbed down the stairs of the shrine feeling relieved.

"How about we explore the Ancestral Town before heading for the Sakura Skytree?" Ayia suggested as they climbed down the stairs.

"What else can we do here?" Aurora asked curiously.

"Well, the Ancestral Town has several attractions, the shrine is just one of them. For example, two streets from the street it's the place where an antique market is located. There are also some Tea Houses around here that have more than a hundred years since they are operating. There is also..." Ayia started listing some attractions of the Ancestral Town.

The more they listened, the more excited everyone became. They weren't in a hurry to head to the Skytree, so they decided to tour around the Ancestral Town for a while.

In such a way, when they left the shrine premises, they immediately headed to the antique market nearby.

Although it was called an antique market, when Theo and the others arrived they observed that the market sold all types of things and not only antiques.

Traditional street food, street art, antiques, scriptures, and many other items.

Everyone's eyes lit up as they observed the market. They felt like they were transported back a few centuries ago because this market perfectly looked like an antique market from back then!

The thing that attracted most of their attention was how beautiful the decorations were around every stall.

Every stall had azure and red lanterns to illuminate the place.

And because of the wintry cloudy weather, the lanterns lit up the place beautifully. The yellow, azure, and red lights coming from the lanterns made the place look even more mysterious.

The people coming and going dressed in traditional clothes made the place even more intriguing.

It looked like a mystical place was summoned on this market.

"Wow!" Aurora and the others exclaimed as they saw this mystical scene.

"I feel like I'm in a medieval movie!" Shoko exclaimed.

"Why do I feel I've already seen this scene before?" Sam asked thoughtfully.

"I think I know why. This place appears in one of the Elvish Studios' movies!" Sayuri exclaimed with an excited expression on her face.

"Oh, my god! You're right, Sayuri!" Kumiko exclaimed in excitement as well.

"No way!"

"Which movie?"

"You don't remember? The 'Kuroko's Market' movie!"

"Ahh, now I remember!"

"Quickly! Let's take a lot of pictures of the place!"

"..."

Just like that, they were not able to hold off their excitement, so they started to take a bunch of pictures of everything they saw at the market.

They were so focused on taking pictures that they didn't even manage to buy something.

But their reaction was understandable as the market itself looked extremely beautiful and mysterious, the perfect place to take pictures. But after remembering that this place appeared in one of the Elvish Studios' movies, they became even more excited.

The Elvish Studios' movies were a synonym for success in the whole world, after all the studio founder was the animation mother. Everyone there grew up watching animes and movies from the Elvish Studios. Therefore, when they discovered that they were in the place that served as inspiration for the movie, they couldn't contain their excitement.

Even Theo wasn't an exception as he took several selfies with everyone and several pictures of the place as well.

It was only after everyone took all the pictures they wanted that they stopped to pay attention to what it was being sold in the market.

Although all the food stalls looked extremely appetizing, they were not hungry after just having breakfast, so they could just brush off the food stalls.

They had the time of their lives as they browsed through every stall.

They felt like they were back in ancient times browsing through the mystical market.

Here and there they found something they liked, so they bought it without any hesitation.

For example, Theo saw a cat sculpture that looked just like Maya, and as soon as he saw the sculpture he knew that he had to buy it. So, he didn't waste time before buying it off.

But that wasn't the only thing that he bought as he bought some things for Aurora as well.

She basically wanted everything that was cute, but she refrained from going crazy, so she settled for the cutest articles and left the others behind.

The others were not that better off, as they also tried to limit their purchases.

But everyone bought at least one article in the market.

Even the locals Kaori, Ayia, and Shizuka.

Everyone wanted to take a souvenir of their visit to the market.

"Wow!" Theo exclaimed under his breath as he looked at something in the stall in front of him.

Ayia was near him, so she heard his soft exclamation.

She got curious and asked him, "What is it?"

Theo, who was admiring the article in front of him, was startled as he heard Ayia's voice.

"Oh, it's you, babe." Theo laughed heartily as he sneakily kissed her cheek.

Ayia melted a little with his kiss on her cheek, but she quickly looked around to see if Kaori was around them.

"Careful! I haven't told about us to my sister yet." Ayia said in a low voice.

"Don't worry about it." Theo brushed off with a smile, "Kaori is a nice and gentle person. I'm sure she'll be happy for us."

Ayia looked at his brilliant smile and melted a little.

"Okay then." She replied with a small smile.

But inside she was feeling differently.

She knew it wasn't as simple as Theo imagined, she hadn't told him about her family situation yet as the last few days they had been extra busy touring and having fun.

She felt guilty to hide things from her boyfriend, but she promised herself to come clean when they went back to Elffire City.

She loved Theo so much, so she didn't want to start their relationship by hiding things from him.

"Look at that article." Theo smiled as he showed her the article that he had been admiring.

Ayia looked at the article that he had pointed at, and as she realized what it was she let out a noticeable gasp.

"Oh, god!" Ayia exclaimed as well.

But her reaction was even bigger than Theo's.

That was because they were looking at ancestry records of the Yamato Clan 50 years after they signed the treaty with the Pendragon Clan.

If these records were real, they had records from Ayia's ancestors!

After all, the Yamada Family was a side family of the main Yamato Clan, so they were also included in the ancestry records.

Ayia couldn't hold off her excitement, she had to know if these records were real.
