Cafeteria, Tokyo Animation Studio, Ellfire City.

Hundreds of people could be seen having breakfast.

These were the new animators hired by the studio.

They were the ones who chose to love in the studio dorms.

After having the last days to move to the new dorms and city, they were ready to start working.

Amid all these people, a group of more than 20 people was seated at a big table.

They were the former Ryoko's classmates at college.

After being hired by the studio, they were now Ryoko's subordinates.

"What did you guys think about the dorms?" A man wearing glasses asked.

"I arrived on Saturday and after sleeping in it for a few days, I'm pleasantly surprised."

"Yeah, me too!"

"The beds are comfy and the heating system is great!"

"I know, right? There was a snowstorm yesterday, and I was able to sleep without worrying about the cold."

"That's the thing that made me happier!"

"I heard that winter in Elffire City is more severe than in Sakura City, so having a good heating system is essential."

"There's even a commute kitchen if we want to cook something!"

Theo knew that some people preferred cooking by themselves, so he installed some commute kitchens for them to use.

But the attendants had to buy their ingredients.

Even the food in the cafeteria they had to buy.

But there was the expensive option with the BlueCloud Shop.

And there was the cheaper option with cheaper dishes cooked by some cooks that Ryoko hired.

These cheaper dishes were simpler and cheap to make, so Theo did not mind hiring some amateur cooks to cook these dishes.

But obviously, the cooks hired had some experience cooking before.

Theo even installed some vending machines that a wide variety of products.

And also a grocery store inside the building.

These things were cheap for Theo to install, so he did not mind putting them for his employees to enjoy.

And he could earn back the money he invested.

After all, these employees would want to go to a grocery store to buy food.

And what is a better option than the grocery store inside their work?







With more than 700 people living in the dorms, Theo was sure that they would buy stuff from the grocery store all the time.

All these things were implemented so that Theo could earn some money back from his employees.

After all, he was paying so much to them.

And he did not have a guilty conscience as he did that because one way or another these people would expend money on food and accommodation.

So, why not provide these things himself?

"And did you guys see the grocery store? We don't even have to leave the building with that!"

"I entered the grocery store, and I noticed that the prices are a little cheaper than the other grocery stores outside the building."

That was another strategy created by Theo to entice these people to buy in the grocery store.

Even though the prices were only cheaper by 5%, that was already enough to attract his employees to buy there.

With this discount, the profit of the grocery store would not be affected so much.

And at the same time, Theo would achieve the desired objective.

A near and cheap option was always the best option.

"Brianna, you were hired as the Art Supervisor. Why did you get the shared dorm and not the single dorm?"

Brianna lifted her face from the breakfast she bought from the BlueCloud Shop when she heard the question.

She was so absorbed by the delicious breakfast that she was not even paying attention to what her friends were saying.

"Oh, that's because I wanted to get to know the place before I chose where to live. Besides, the girls needed a fourth person to split the bill." Brianna replied as she looked at her three girlfriends.

The four of them were now roommates.

"Yeah, Brianna was kind enough to be the fourth person." Mitsue Koi chimed in.

She was one of the people who got hired as an Animator Supervisor.

She was only a tiny bit away from being hired in a better position.

"Plus, even Araya is there with us." Zofia Webb added.

She was only hired as Keyframe Animator, but she knew that with her skills at the moment, that was the best she could do.

But she was burning with determination to get better and climb through the ranks.

Everyone looked at Arayia waiting for her to say something.

"Why are you looking at me? Even though I earn a bigger salary, I don't like spending more money than necessary. And I don't have a problem with living with the girls." Araya said with a haughty tone of voice.

Araya Baker was an impatient and haughty girl.

Everyone learned after knowing her for years, that she was not a person to be trifle with.

And she was one of them who passed the fourth phase of interviews.

,m Even though she did not get a job as Supervisor as Brianna, she still got the job of her dreams.

She got a job in the editing team.





"Did you talk with Ryoko about what will happen today, Brianna?" Someone asked.

"Ryoko was super busy the last few days. So, I didn't have the opportunity of asking." Brianna replied.

"But that was to be expected. As the Head Director of the studio, Ryoko must have her hands full with the opening of the studio." Zophia commented.

"I thought the same, so I didn't even try distracting her." Brianna added.

"I'm curious to know what anime we will produce."

"Me too!"

"But after hearing Ryoko's story last Friday, I think that the anime will be based on one of the works of that publishing house Ryoko talked about."

"Yeah, if you think about it that makes sense. Why would they produce something else if they already have works that can do the job?"

"You know what? After I heard Ryoko's story I tried buying the two mangas and one light novel that are being published by the Fuji Jump, and I was only able to buy one manga! The others were sold out!"

"Wow! Really? Are they that good?"

"I don't know about the other two, but the manga that I bought is amazing! Its name is [Hataraku Maou-sama], and it is about a demon king transmigrating to modern times and starting to work in a fast-food company. It is so funny!"

"Really? That sounds interesting. Now I want to read it."

"I hope this manga is the chosen one to be adapted."

The friends kept talking as they had breakfast.

Only a while later, Brianna looked at the clock on her phone and said, "Let's hurry. We have to be in the auditorium in 20 minutes."

Ryoko warned everyone that they all had to be at the auditorium at 8 am on December 1st.

They started hurrying when they heard Brianna's words.

The last thing they wanted was to be late on their first day of work.

They stood up and threw the garbage at the garbage disposal.

When they were walking toward the auditorium, they saw that the other candidates had the same notion as them.

Troves of people walked toward the auditorium.

All of them had excited faces and burning eyes.

They could not help it!

Today they were going to start working in the best studio they had ever seen.

Everything was made to provide the best environment to work in.

The salaries were great, the work policy was strict against abusers, the equipment was top-notch, and they even could rent a cheap room to save money!

They could not ask for a better studio to work at.

And it was with that mentality that they arrived in the auditorium.

What would happen there?

They wondered.
