Elffire City, Bluecorn State, Sakura Abode Country.
The day had all the characteristics that made the Autumn season to be loved and hated by the people.
In this season was possible to see why this country was called Sakura Abode Country.
Sakura's trees could be seen all over the country, and the most unique thing was that each region had Sakura's trees blooming with colors of each region.
Elffire City seemed that was touched by the fire as its name suggests.
Red vibrant trees could be seen all over the city, that seemed that the city was perpetually being burned.
During the day, the sunlight, which was starting to weaken with proximity to the winter, shined upon the leaves making the trees look like fire trees.
And during the night, the city lights shined upon the flame leaves and made the city look like a magical city.
While the rest of the state had a characteristic blue sakura tree blooming so beautifully that seemed that blue unicorns were dancing on its leaves. That was how the state acquired its name.
While the city gained its name after an old legend was heard by the ones who established the city.
It was said that once upon a time, an elf was not satisfied with the look of his forest when the autumn arrived. Everything was so blue with blue magical creatures. The elf liked vibrant colors, as he was a fire elf. One day the autumn arrived again, he could not hold back anymore and spoke grumpily 'Fire is the start. I will make a fire here in this forest once again so I can calm down my heart.' he rhymed and sang while pulling a huge chunk of the forest in a fire that reached the heavens. But strangely, not even one tree was burning, but all the trees that were reached by the fire acquired flame leaves on every autumn starting that year. The elf satisfied with her work slept in the sea of flame autumn leaves.
It was in this beautiful city, inside a commercial building, that a young man with a god-like figure, silver hair, and mesmerizing, brilliant silver eyes, was drawing something on his computer.
He seemed fully focused on the task at hand.
'No, it is not going to work. But what if I put the solar power grid separated from the house? It is going to free the roof of the house for something more interesting...' Theo thought as he looked at the project that he was designing on his computer.
As he expected, he was able to advance, yesterday, his skill and proficiencies to an acceptable level, so that he would be able to project his house.
Even with his enhanced intelligence, it would take some time for him to design and project a house.
Especially the house he was thinking of.
The project had all sorts of little things that took a long time to complete.
But he estimated that in 10 days he would finish.
That was an amazing speed!
Architects and engineers usually spent months completing the design of a house of the size that Theo was projecting.
Suddenly, his phone rang.
Theo looked at the display, but it was from an unknown number.
He made a confused expression; his number was only known by a few numbers of people.
So, it was rare for him to receive a call from an unknown number.
"Hello." Theo answered the phone, nonetheless.
"Mr. Gray? This is the Police Captain Allan of 45th Police Station." a voice with overpowering confidence resounded over the phone.
"Oh, it's Captain Allan. How can I help you?" Theo smiled as he remembered the old man who freed him from the rude detectives.
"Mr. Gray, we were able to discover who was the perpetrator of your attack. We managed to discover..." Captain Allan proceeded to tell Theo how one of the men who had a meeting with him and Sayuri last Thursday, contacted some gang members to threaten him to sign with his company.
Theo's gaze became sharp, he narrowed his eyes furiously.
Sayuri let those men go to not attract bad attention from the media to the Fuji Jump.
But one of them dared to order an attack on him?
"Now, what?" Theo said after the captain finished his story.
"You don't have to worry about the prosecution, Mr. Gray. But I would like to recommend you press charges against the Fury Jump with the allegations of corporate espionage." Captain Allan replied.
"I will contact the Legal Department of my company to press the charges." Theo said with a firm tone of voice.
"Tell them to come here, and we will take care of everything." the captain said again.
"Thank you!" Theo was grateful for all his help, even if it was because of Ayia's family connections.
Theo hung up the phone after talking with the captain about some details of the case.
Theo searched for Sayuri's number on his phone and called her.
"Hey, boss, what's up?" Sayuri said with a joyful tone.
She was indeed happy; she received the sales report of the [Hataraku Maou-sama] manga.
And it was another success!
Not at the level of Naruto's, but she could see that the [Hataraku Maou-sama] manga would become famous around the country too.
All the bookstores that were suspicious about the manga, became avid to order the manga on their own volition.
"We have a problem." Theo said curtly.
Sayuri noticed that Theo was unusually serious.
"Tell me." Sayuri said as she became serious too.
Theo proceeded to tell her everything that happened, and what the police discovered.
"Those @#$%&*@#*#*&" Sayuri cursed so much that Theo became a little shy.
He did not the woman, who looked like a little princess, could curse so much.
"Are you okay?" she asked in worry after she managed to vent her feelings by some cursing.
"Yes, don't worry." Theo said with a chuckle.
"Thank goodness." Sayuri sighed in relief.
"What do you want me to do?" Sayuri asked, she knew that Theo would know what to do.
"I want you to notify the Fuji's lawyer and press the Fury Jump with corporation espionage. Put all the evidence you managed to gather." Theo said with a cold voice.
"Sure, it will be done as soon as possible. And what about the other companies?" Sayuri asked.
"Hmm let them be, let the Fury Jump be an example to them." Theo said with an evil laugh.
Sayuri replied with a burst of equally evil laughter.
The two combined how they could sink their enemy for a while longer.
"How were the sales last week?" Theo asked afterward.
"It was promising, boss! Meaning it was another success!" Sayuri exclaimed with a happy laugh.
"Really? The [Hataraku Maou-sama] manga was successful?" Theo asked with an excited tone of voice.
"It sure was. We have already received orders from all around the country."
"The [Naruto] manga also managed to reach the peak of sales. We project that the sales will stabilize at this number though." Sayuri reported.
"That's great. We are going in the right direction." Theo replied with a satisfied smile.
"What about the [Sword Art Online] light novel? Is it already in the bookstores?" Theo asked.
"Yes, the bookstores that became our partners accepted to order our novel and promote in the stores."
"They seemed eager to order the copies after two of our novels sold so well in their stores." Sayuri laughed.
"You did an amazing job!" Theo complimented her; he didn't know what he would do without her overseeing the company.
'Now, the light novel is released. Would Ryoko-san be able to meet my expectations with her script and storyboard?' Theo thought as he remembered the blue-haired beauty with eyes eager to make her dreams come true.
