I am the Entertainment Tycoon

"How about I ask our driver to come pick Kumiko here after he drives us to the house?" Ayia suggested when she saw Kumiko's anxious face.

She could see that Kumiko wanted to head to backstage as soon as possible, so she suggested that.

"Perfect! This way you guys don't have to worry about me." Kumiko exclaimed happily.

"I guess that works."

"That'll be much safer."

"..."

The others agreed with Ayia's suggestion promptly as they also could see Kumiko's anxiousness.

"Then, I'll be going!" Kumiko smiled happily, "I still can't believe I'll meet Cara face-to-face! Wish me luck, guys!"

"Good luck, Kumiko!"

"Take a selfie with her!"

"Don't forget to mention me to Cara!"

"..."

Everyone wished her the best as she walked backstage, when she arrived there, she showed the Backstage Pass that Theo gave her to the security guard. After checking the authenticity of the pass, the security guard allowed her entrance.

Just before she entered backstage she waved one last time to Theo and the others.

As soon as they lose sight of her, they didn't waste time before heading toward the arena's exit.

It didn't take long for them to exit the arena and search for the minibus that brought them there.

A few minutes later, they were driving toward Ayia and Shizuka's house.

"The concert was so awesome!" Max exclaimed suddenly.

"Yeah, being so close to the stage made the experience even more magical." Lauren agreed.

"That was the first time I attended a concert, and I can say for sure that it was an amazing experience." Aurora laughed.

"The arena was completely filled with people! I guess that there were at least 60 thousand people there tonight." Sam commented.

"To tell you the truth, I jumped so much during the concert that I'm feeling all sweaty." June commented.

"Me too! I'm feeling sweaty and my throat is hurting because I was singing too loudly." Ayia agreed as she touched her neck.

"My voice is hoarse, guys." Rio commented with a hoarse voice.

Everyone looked at her for a few seconds before starting to laugh out loud.

Rio couldn't help but laugh as well.

They thought that it was extremely funny that while they were talking about overusing their voices, Rio suddenly speaking in a hoarse voice.

The timing was perfect.

"We should drink so hot tea when we arrive at the house. I bet no one here wants to lose their voices in the next few days." Ayia suggested when they stopped laughing.

"Good idea, Ayia!"

"We get to work tomorrow, I can't lose my voice indeed."

"..."

Everyone agreed with Ayia's suggestion as they had important work to do in the next few days.

"I'm so tired!" Lauren suddenly exclaimed with a sigh.

"Me too!" Carolla exclaimed.

The others also expressed how tired they were

"After the day we had, it would be surprising if we weren't tired." Theo chuckled.

"Yeah, after walking all over Sakura City during the day, we even jumped and sang throughout the whole Cara's live performance." Kaori laughed.

"I just wanna sleep for 12 hours straight." Sayuri commented with a sigh.

"Well, you can do that when we get back to Elffire City as our flight it is in the morning." Theo commented.

It was only then that they remembered that they had a flight to catch tomorrow morning!

"Oh, god! I totally forgot about our flight!"

"In the morning?"

"Wait a minute, does that mean that we won't be able to sleep much tonight?" 

Everyone looked at Theo and Sam looking for answers.

They were the ones responsible for booking the plane tickets.

Sam looked at the clock on her phone before saying, "Well, it is over 2 am now, and our flight is scheduled to leave at 8 am. We have to arrive at the airport at least one hour before the flight. So, we will have to wake up at least 6 am to get ready to leave."

"Long story short, we'll have less than 4 hours of sleep tonight." Theo finished with a smile.

"Aaargh!" Everyone loudly exclaimed in despair.

"How could this be?"

"I just to sleep for a good 6 hours stretch, is that ask for too much?"

"Look at the bright side, we can sleep more when we arrive at our houses."

"..."

Just like that, throughout their way to Ayia and Shizuka's house, they discussed their ordeal.

As it was over midnight, they didn't face any traffic on their way over.

Although Sakura City was a place known to never rest as several parts of town still were open even in these late hours, the traffic of people at night was visibly less when compared to the day traffic. Especially at this time of the year, the wintry weather made the people avoid the streets and stay inside.

When Theo and the others arrived at Ayia and Shizuka's house, they didn't waste much time before heading to their own rooms to get ready for bed.

The house had a hot water supply 24/7, so they were able to wash off the sweat from their bodies even in the cold weather of Sakura City.

Theo had just exited the bathroom of his room with a towel around his hips. He looked at his open luggage in search of simple clothes to wear while sleeping.

He soon found a white T-shirt and sweatpants.

He had just put it on and was about to lie down on the bed when he heard someone knocking on the door.

Theo opened the door and found one of the house employees there carrying a cup of hot tea.

"Theo-san, the miss instructed us to deliver a cup of tea to everyone." She said politely.

"Oh, thank you so much!" Theo thanked her with a wide smile.

She nodded and bowed a little before leaving his door.

Theo closed his door before taking a sip of his tea.

"Good tea." Theo smiled after he tasted the tea.

He knew that after taking this tea, his overused voice would recover a little, so he didn't waste much time before drinking the whole cup of tea.

He was about to lie down on the bed once again when he heard another knock on his door.

"Who could it be this time?" He muttered as he walked toward the door.

When he opened the door, he saw the most cute thing ever.

Ayia was there wearing a full-body bunny pajama.

Just by standing there, Theo was able to smell the amazing aroma coming from her. He figured that she had just taken a shower as well.

"Babe, what are you doing here? You should be sleeping." Theo chuckled as he patted her cute head.

"Can I sleep with you tonight?" Ayia asked with big puppy golden eyes.
