I am the Entertainment Tycoon

Dining Room, Ayia and Shizuka's Manor, Sakura City.

The group of friends had a hearty breakfast as they discussed what they wanted to do during the day.

Theo and the others were famished, it wasn't that surprising as the last time they ate they were still at the Kokoro Islands.

"Is Ryoko coming as well?" Kumiko asked as she sipped on a hot milk coffee.

"She told me that she would arrive around 10 am, but she would only be able to meet us in the afternoon." Kaori replied as she sipped on her tea.

"Why?" June asked.

"She said that she had some work to do before having the time to have fun." Kaori simply replied.

Everyone looked at Theo when they heard that as he was the only person who could boss Ryoko around.

Theo laughed wryly when he saw their looks, "Don't look at me like that. This was the only way I could think to make her come to Sakura City. She said she would only come if she had work to do here, so I asked her to solve some company issues that are pending here in Sakura City. If I hadn't done that she wouldn't have come." Theo explained as he shook his head.

Everyone nodded in agreement as that sounded like something Ryoko would do. Although they had only known her for a couple of months, they knew that she was obsessed with her work. After all, she had cut her vacation short so she could go back to work.

And Ryoko really had some pending issues to solve at Sakura City.

She had already contacted a few studios about the purchase of streaming rights to some animes, although she could finish most of these purchases online. Some animes were too famous, so she had to sign the contract in person.

That was her main job at Sakura City this time, she would finalize the purchase of several animes' streaming rights.

Only after dealing with these purchases that she would meet with them.

"That sounds just like something Ryoko would do." Sam giggled.

"I guess it can't be helped then." Kaori shook her head.

"Where are we going first?" Aurora suddenly asked with shining eyes.

She always had heard stories and seen pictures on the internet about Sakura City, so she was extremely excited to explore the city.

"Well, there are three of us here who are from Sakura City, so they should know best about which places are the best to visit." Sam commented as she looked at three girls in specific.

The others also looked at the same three girls in anticipation.

Ayia, Shizuka, and Kaori giggled a little when they saw their silly faces.

The three of them were born and lived in Sakura City, so they knew which places were the best to visit.

"If we are going to tour around the city, then we have to stop at the Sakura Skytree Tower!" Ayia suggested with an excited smile.

"Skytree Tower?"

"You mean the biggest building in the world?"

"You mean that gigantic building we saw as the plane descended the city?"

"..."

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard Ayia's suggestion.

As the epitome of the world's technology, the Sakura Abode Country built in its capital the tallest building of the Azure Planet.

The Sakura Skytree Tower was over 2000 meters in height!

The exact number was 2359 meters.

Just in comparison, the tallest building on Earth, when Theo was alive there, the Burj Khalifa was only 828 meters.

This means that the Sakura Skytree was almost 3 times bigger than the Burj Khalifa!

The technology in the Sakura Abode Country was so much more advanced than the other countries that half of the Top 10 tallest buildings in the world were occupied by buildings from the Sakura Abode Country.

The building in 6th place was the best building that the other countries could build, but this building was only 780 meters in height. In other words, the other countries had a technology level similar to Earth, but the Sakura Abode Country was years ahead of the rest.

Just like its name entailed, the Sakura Skytree Tower was built just like a Sakura Tree.

From afar the tower looked like a gigantic sakura tree, and this was exactly what the architects wanted when they built the tower.

Their goal was to build something so magnificent that represented the Sakura Abode Country. And what better symbol than the tree that covered the whole country, the same tree that formed the abode where the country was created?

The Sakura Skytree was built to look like a Rainbow Sakura Tree. This rainbow was formed from the colors of Sakura found in the country.

A Sakura Tree that would always be blossomed no matter what season it was.

Even in this winter season, the Sakura Skytree shone in its rainbow colors.

The tourists that visited Sakura City would visit the place to admire the beautiful building. And Theo and the others were not an exception.

They wanted to visit the Sakura Skytree!

"But before we head to the Skytree, we could visit the Shee Arsurinya Shrine. We headed for the Kokoro Islands just after the New Year Celebrations, so we didn't even have time to pray at the shrine." Shizuka suggested.

"That's true." Theo nodded.

"I had completely forgotten about that! We have to head to the shrine first!" Sayuri exclaimed.

"Sayuri's right, we have to head to the shrine first."

"Yeah, I can't believe we forgot our prayers."

"..."

The others also expressed their desire to visit the shrine before heading toward the Skytree.

Some people may be surprised that they could contain their excitement to visit the Skytree to visit the shrine first.

But they had a good reason for that.

The Sakura Abode Country had several traditions, and one of them was that every citizen had to pray at the shrine in the first few days of the new year.

If they didn't pray at the shrine, they would have bad luck for the rest of the year. And every Sakurean took this tradition seriously.

So, at every start of a year, the shrines would be crowded with people praying for a prosperous new year.

No matter the skin color, ancestry, financial situation, or any other factors.

Every citizen would flock to the nearby shrines to pray.

That's why every city in the country had several shrines.

Sakura City had the highest amount of shrines in the country, and the Shee Arsurinya Shrine was the biggest shrine in the country.

It was one of the tourist points of the city as it still maintained the structure when it was first built several centuries ago.

Just like that, they discussed where else they should go when they explored the city later.

The day had just started and they planned to enjoy it to its fullest!
