Tokyo Animation Branch Studio, Sakura City.

01:28 PM, Monday, January 11th.

After spending the last 3 hours in several meetings and signing contracts, Ryoko finally bade farewell to the last studio representative.

"Guys, I'll leave these contracts in your care to proceed with legal procedures." Ryoko said as she looked at the group of lawyers seated beside her.

"Don't worry, boss!"

"We will proceed with the procedures as quickly as we can!"

"..."

The lawyers reassured her before leaving the conference room as well. They had a lot of work to do as they needed to initiate the legal procedures of the 15 contracts signed.

When Ryoko and Rio were finally alone in the room, Ryoko couldn't help but let out a loud sigh of relief.

"Finally! I thought these meetings wouldn't end." Ryoko exclaimed.

"Indeed, these representatives were a pain in the ass." Rio shook her head, "They may seem kind and approachable, but I could see their greed for money as they signed the contracts."

Ryoko let out a mysterious smile as she said, "Indeed, their studios will cash up a lot of money with these contracts. But only if the plan works out for the entirety of the contract, they don't know that we counted on their greed." Ryoko chuckled.

Rio was only a branch manager, so she wasn't aware of the future projects of the studio, but in this meeting, she saw one of their projects.

A streaming service exclusive to anime!

Although she didn't know all the details, from what she saw today, she presumed that Theo was planning to launch a streaming service to shake the world of animation.

But she wouldn't ask Ryoko about it, she respected her friend too much to enquire about secrets from the company.

"Are you already leaving?" Rio asked suddenly.

Ryoko looked at the clock on her phone and nodded, "Yeah, I scheduled to meet Theo and the others at 2 pm. And if I don't want to arrive there late, I should get going."

"Why don't you come with me? You can meet Theo if you come with me." Ryoko asked with a smile.

"Although I'd love to meet the boss in person, I can't leave the studio alone." Rio replied with a regretful voice.

She genuinely wanted to meet Theo, he did so much for her already. But she had to take care of his studio.

"I expected that." Ryoko giggled.

Ryoko was exactly like Rio, she only accepted to come to Sakura City and explore the city because Theo gave her the mission to sign these contracts. And with that done, she was free to have fun with her friends for the rest of the day.

"Are you free tonight?" Ryoko asked with shining eyes as she just had an idea.

"Hmm, we are scheduled to finish working around 7 pm. Why are you asking?" Rio asked curiously.

"We have tickets for tonight's concert of Cara Izuhara. You could come with us to watch it." Ryoko offered with a smile.

Rio was visibly shaken when she heard that they would go see Cara Izuhara. She loved that singer!

"Plus, you could have a talk with Theo in person." Ryoko added with a small smile.

"It seems I can't further refuse the invitation. I'll be glad to accompany you guys." Rio replied with an excited smile.

She couldn't wait to see Cara!

Just like that, the two friends combined the last details of their night outing as they headed downstairs.

"Okay, I'll see you later." Ryoko smiled as she exited the building.

"Yes, I'll be there." Rio laughed as she watched Ryoko leave the studio.

Ryoko hailed a cap as soon as she exited the studio, when she entered the car, she gave the address of the place where she scheduled to meet her friends.

She picked up her phone and texted them to say that she was currently on the way to their destination.

But where Theo and the others were?

We have to go back one hour go to understand where they were.

After they finished their lunch, they started touring every place that attracted them inside the Skytree Tower.

They knew that they had limited time, so they didn't stay in one place for too long before heading to the next stop.

The last stop of their tour was on one of the 'lower' floors. It may be called the 'lower' floor, but this floor was still numbered the 111th floor in the tower.

The tower was so massive that a floor of that height was considered part of the lower floors.

This floor in particular was famous because there were several branches attached to it and they all formed only one attraction.

A museum!

The whole floor and branches functioned as a museum called Tree Section Museum.

This museum in particular became famous all over the world as it held the record of the museum located at the highest place in the entire world.

After all, most museums were located on the ground level. Why would someone build an enormous building for a museum?

With its fame, famous artists sought to exhibit their art in the Tree Section museum.

That's why the museum always had famous art pieces in its collection, which made the museum one of the most popular places in the Skytree Tower.

For example, on the same day that Theo and the others were visiting the tower, the Tree Section museum was exhibiting the famous works of a group of artists from 200 years ago.

What attracted Theo and the others to these art pieces was the story told them.

200 years ago, the Sakura Sea Empire dominated most of the known world. Which made the Empire the best place to know myths from other places of the world.

This particular group of artists was fascinated by their mythology and legends, so they started to produce art pieces about the mythology and legends that the Sakura Sea Empire found in its dominant lands.

This group of artists traveled through the whole world where the Sakura Sea Empire dominated in search of legends for their art pieces.

They produced so many wonderful art pieces that they were acclaimed and revered even centuries after their death.

The art pieces exhibited in the Tree Section museum were only a part of the whole collection that they produced, but even then these art pieces were able to attract a lot of people to admire the legends engraved on them.

Theo and the others were got fascinated by the art pieces that they forgot the time.

When they checked the time, they realized that they were late!

So, they could only leave the tower in a hurry.

That's why when Ryoko texted them that she was on her way, they received the text when they were about to enter their minibus.

They replied saying that they were also on their way as they entered the bus and exited the parking lot.

As they drove away from the Lythari Vandor Park, they couldn't help but look behind and look at the Sakura Skytree once again.

They would never forget the amazing things they saw in the tower!
