Chapter 216 Best Of Both Worlds
12 people had shocked faces as they looked at the blue-haired petite Shoko.
"How is that possible?" Kimiko managed to say through her bewilderment.
"Is that even true?" Lauren asked with a doubtful voice.
Everyone could not help but doubt what Shoko said.
After all, why would such a prestigious artist like Cara Izuhara offers herself to perform in a normal and small music festival like the Winter Festival of Elffire City?
It did not make any sense!
"I'm telling the truth!" Shoko exclaimed in annoyance when she saw their doubtful faces.
"It seems that even though Cara grew up in Sakura City, her father's family is from Elffire City. So, she wanted to make a surprise concert for her family that lives in Elffire City." Shoko explained.
When she said that, they immediately understood the reason for Cara's behavior.
"Now everything makes sense!" June exclaimed.
"But why no one knows about that yet?" Gwen asked.
"Because her request was so abrupt, the organizers had to reschedule the whole concert line-up, so my sister-in-law said they will announce her concert at the end of this week." Shoko replied.
"Oh my god! We have to buy tickets before it is sold out when everyone discovers this news!" Lauren exclaimed excitedly.
"That's obvious!"
"I want to go!"
"It will be so much fun!"
Everyone started talking excitedly about the festival.
But 4 people were calm as if they did not care that a worldwide famous singer was coming to town to do a concert.
Shizuka was calm because even though she admired Cara, she liked other genres of music.
Ayia was calm because she had a much better thing to do on the day of the concert.
Aurora was calm because she would put anything in front of her vacations with her brother.
And Theo was calm because even though he liked Cara's songs, he also had a much better thing to do.
The four of them were determined to enjoy the vacation at the Heart Islands, so they did not care about the concert.
"So, everyone is going?" Kimiko asked suddenly with an excited face.
She could not wait to watch Cara's concert with her friends.
"I am!"
"Me too!"
"Count me in!"
Everyone started agreeing, but when they looked at Theo and the other three girls, they saw that Theo, Aurora, Ayia, and Shizuka did not seem as excited as them.
"Sorry, everyone, I have a place to be on that day." Theo said with a calm voice as he sipped his red wine.
Kimiko, Shoko, and the others didn't even have time to absorb Theo's answer when Aurora's voice sounded.
"Yeah, me too." Aurora said as she took a bite of the braised pork of the Tantanmen Ramen.
"Sorry, me too." Ayia declared with an apologetic face.
"Same as Ayia-chan." Shizuka said as she sipped her white wine.
Kimiko and the others looked at Theo and the girls with shocked faces.
They could not understand why they seemed so calm and decisive about not going to the concert.
And the most peculiar thing was that the answer of each of the four was too similar!
Something was happening, and they needed to know what!
p
"It's Cara Izuhara!"
"I can't believe you guys!"
They started shouting and discussing loudly while Theo and the girls just laughed seeing their behavior.
"HEY!" Sam shouted.
Everyone shut their mouths and looked at her.
Sam looked at Theo and the girls with eyes full of curiosity.
She wanted to know what was happening.
"You four are planning something! Tell us what." Sam asked eagerly for an answer.
Kimiko and the others immediately looked at Theo and the girls.
They wanted to know the answer.
Theo and the girls laughed again when they saw their eager faces.
"Hmm, to be honest, I'm only implementing this vacation in the restaurant so that I can travel with Aurora. So, why would I cancel my trip because of a concert." Theo explained the whole affair.
"Yeah, Big Brother and I are going to the Heart Islands!" Aurora exclaimed with a sweet smile.
"And when Ayia heard that we were going there, she wanted to come, so I invited her and Shizuka to come too." Theo added.
"Shizu-chan and I are looking forward to this trip." Ayia commented with a brilliant smile.
It was then that they understood why Theo and the girls were behaving like.
It seemed that from the beginning Theo was planning this trip, so he would not give up on it because of the concert.
"Heart Islands?"
"The famous paradise of the Mohana Continent?"
"Oh my god! I heard that everything there is beautiful!"
They were visibly excited when they heard about the Heart Islands.
"Actually, that's why I called you all here. I wanted to invite all of you to come with us if you want." Theo exposed the reason for the dinner party.
Everyone had a different reaction when they heard Theo's words.
Some were excited about the idea of going to the Heart Islands.
And some had conflicted looks as they could not decide between Cara's concert and the trip with Theo and the girls.
The two options were two amazing and that's why they had conflicted faces.
Every one of them had money to spare, so they afford to pay for the trip and the concert.
Each professional cook like Kimiko, Shoko, Gwen, and the others who worked in Theo's kitchen received 50k dollars per month.
And June, Sayuri, and Sam were another story.
Each of them received hundreds of thousands of dollars per month.
Especially Sayuri who owned 10% of the shares of the Fuji Jump Publishing house.
While the two girls Ayia and Shizuka were in a league of their own.
They were the richest people on the table.
They were so rich that they didn't even know how much their families had.
So, they were the most casual people when money was mentioned.
"I'm in!" Sam declared excitedly.
"Me too." Sayuri chimed in.
"I always wanted to see with my own eyes the Heart Islands, so I will go!" Kin declared with an excited smile.
Max also wanted to say that he wanted to go, but he knew that he had to wait for Lauren's decision.
And Lauren together with the others who did not talk yet could not decide which one they should go to.
The first option was to enjoy the concert of an artist they loved and always wanted to go.
And the second option was to enjoy a trip to another country that was known for its beauty, and they would have their friends' company to enjoy the place.
The two options were too attractive.
Theo looked at Kimiko, Shoko, June, and Lauren.
He could see that these girls wanted to come with them on the trip, but they could not give up on Cara's concert.
"How about this? If you guys decide to come with us, I can get tickets for Cara's concert in Sakura City on January 11th. We can enjoy the Heart Islands and when we come back to the country, we go to Sakura City instead of the Elffire City." Theo proposed with a pondering look.
The faces of everyone lit up when they heard that.
Even Aurora was excited when she heard that.
Even though she wanted to enjoy the vacation with her brother, that did not stop her from wanting to watch Cara's concert.
The best of both worlds!
"You can do that?" Kimiko asked excitedly.
"Yeah, I can." Theo replied with a mysterious smile.
Theo just had to ask Sylph to hack into the concert's system and get the tickets for them.
Because her skills were too advanced for the current network of the Azure Star, she could do that without leaving traces.
But Theo did not have any intentions of using her hacking skills to do something evil.
Getting the tickets was already the max he could permit himself to use.
Everyone looked at Theo with excited faces.
They could not wait for January to arrive!
