Chapter 620: Far-Reaching Influence
Chapter 620: Far-Reaching Influence
In the middle of a small coastal town, the strong cold winds coming from the sea blew over the town's structures, as it was already expected for the end of the winter.
Even with its small size, the town was developed enough to give its citizens comfort, work, and entertainment.
The small size port was enough to give the majority of the population job opportunities.
The boats sailed through the turbulent waters with a strong purpose.
It was the end of a Saturday afternoon, and the shift of some of the port workers had just finished.
A middle-aged man walked to his car after a long day of work. He only wanted to arrive home and wash off the fatigue away to relax.
It didn't take long for him to leave the port driving his car, and due to the town's size, he didn't face any traffic on his way home.
15 minutes later, he parked his car in the garage of a 2-store suburban house.
When he entered his own house, his nostrils were assaulted by the delicious smell of food being cooked.
He smiled before shouting, "Honey, I'm home!"
A couple of seconds later, a gentle middle-aged woman came from the kitchen with a smile on her face, "Okaerinasai!"
(Welcome home)
"Thank you, dear." He smiled before giving a kiss on her cheek, "What a delicious smell. What are you cooking?"
"Curry, and a few other things." His wife replied.
"Yumi." He replied with shining eyes.
"Do you want to eat now? Or after you take a shower?" she asked.
"Let me wash off this sweat." He replied, "Then we can all have dinner together."
"Okay, but you'll have to call your children as they spent the whole day locked inside their rooms." The middle-aged woman complained with an annoyed expression.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of that." He laughed before climbing the stairs to the upstairs floor.
As he arrived on the second floor of the house, he heard loud sounds coming from behind a pink door.
HUM HUM HUM
BUM POP BUM POP
He even felt vibrations coming from inside as if the person who was inside was jumping and dancing.
The man laughed helplessly but didn't do anything yet. He wanted to take a shower and change his clothes before having trouble calling his children from their rooms.
While the man entered the room he shared with his wife, the two other rooms of the house belonged to the son and the daughter of the couple.
The daughter was 17 years old, and she was in her last year of high school.
At that moment, a popular song was loudly being played inside the room. "Ooh
Na-na, yeah
I saw you dancing in a crowded room (uh)
You look so happy when I'm not with you
But then you saw me, caught you by surprise
A single teardrop falling from your eye
I don't know why I run away
I make you cry when I run away
You could've asked me why I broke your heart
You could've told me that you fell apart
But you walked past me like I wasn't there
And just pretended like you didn't care..."
That's right!
'Save Your Tears' by Moonlight feat. Tsukuyomi was being played inside the teenage room.
While two teenagers danced happily to music as they sang along as well.
They knew the lyrics without any mistakes after listening to the song so much.
When the song ended, the two girls sat down on the bed tiredly after dancing so much. "Ahhh, I love Moonlight so much!" Kao exclaimed, "Why does he have to be so mysterious? Why can't he be like the other celebreties that everyone knows everything about them?" "Maybe it's exactly because of this fact that he chose to be so mysterious." Omoki giggled, "But it is super weird that no one knows anything about him."
"He should at least perform in a concert!" Kao complained, "I would use all of my savings to go to a Moonlight concert."
"Which isn't much." Omoki laughed, "You are a compulsive spender."
Kao blushed as he tried to defend herself, "It's not my fault, I just have a refined taste! Plus, I could ask my parents for money to pay for the concert."
"I really doubt that your parents would let you go to another city to watch a concert." Omoki commented, "They are already having trouble accepting that you want to leave next year to study at the university located in the state capital."

The two girls continued their talk until Kao suddenly received a notification.
She picked up her phone and looked at what was it, and the more she looked, the more excited
she became.
"No way! No way!" Kao exclaimed excitedly as she stood up in excitement.
"What is it?" Omoki asked curiously.
"Look what the girls just sent me!" She exclaimed as she showed her phone screen.
Omoki looked at the screen that showed the post from a news portal.
[CONFIRMED! It has been confirmed that Moonlight will be present at the Saphire Awards at
the end of March!]
Omoki became as excited as Kao as she read that piece of news.
The girls looked at each other before screaming in happiness.
They would finally be able to see their idol on screen again!
While the two girls excitedly discussed this bombastic piece of news in Kao's bedroom, Kao's little brother was also locked inside his room.
But differently from his noisy and extroverted big sister, Torio was a quiet and introverted
kid.
He hadn't many friends as he was timid, and the few friends he had were the same as him. Torio was 13 years old, and he spent his Saturday reading mangas.
Due to the small size of the town where he lived, there was only one bookstore in the whole town. And the bookstore only brought popular mangas.
That's why it was only recently that the works from the Fuji Co. arrived there.
That's right!
Torio spent the whole day reading the mangas from the Fuji Co.
His buddy recommended to him a few days ago saying that the stories were top-notch, so Torio spent his whole monthly allowance on every edition available in the town's bookstore. And after reading a few mangas, Torio understood the hype around these stories.
Torio was so involved in the stories that he didn't even see the day passing.
For him it was a wholesome day as he discovered an amazing story, he managed to disconnect
from reality as he immersed himself in the manga's story.
He was really glad that he decided to buy these mangas.
His only regret was that he didn't manage to buy the latest editions due to the fact that the bookstore didn't sell them.
'Maybe I can buy them online. I should look at the web later.' He thought to himself.
He had just finished reading the all editions of Naruto that he had. Now he was about to start reading the Sword Art Online Novel.
'Oh, is this the novel that they are adapting to anime?' Torio asked himself as he read the title.
He read some advertisements on the mangas he just read about it, that's why he knew about
it.
Torio was really curious to read the story that was about to become an anime, so he didn't waste time as he started to read.
But he didn't read the novel for 5 minutes when his dad entered his room.
"Torio! Your mother cooked dinner, let's all eat dinner together." The middle-aged man
called before leaving his room.
"Okay, Dad." Torio replied obediently.
Just like that, the family of four and the guest Omoki had a lovely dinner.
But what was curious was that Theo managed to influence the two children of the family with
different personalities.
Little by little, Theo was reaching the hearts of more and more people with the work he
released.
