Brighton Hotel, Elffire City.

7:13 AM, Saturday, December 12th.

It was another cold morning.

3 days before the start of the winter, the weather was completely winter-like already.

The citizens of the city had to get out of their houses dressed in coats and jackets to ward off the coldness.

Their luck was that it wasn't snowing yet.

But it was predicted that as soon as the winter started officially, the snow would fall constantly.

This was the place that Emina and the others chose to sleep that night.

After they finished the assignments in the Tkyo Studios, they immediately came here.

They were so tired after the day of work.

The tension, nervousness, and fatigue of the day would only be cured by a good night of sleep.

And that was what they did.

But they woke up early this Saturday morning because they should be at the Tkyo Studios by 8 am to receive the results from the test.

That's why they had nervous faces as they had breakfast at the hotel restaurant.

"I'm so nervous!"

"Me too, I keep worrying about mistakes I might have done."

"I want to work there so badly!"

"Who wouldn't? That studio is heaven for animators and sound engineers!"

"Did you guys visit the food court yesterday?"

"I did! I was dying of hunger, so I had to go there. And let me tell you guys that the place is amazing! There is so much delicious food there. There is even a grocery store!"

"Wow! It sounds amazing indeed."

"Yeah, I also went there and I ordered some coffee from the coffee shop there. And it was the most delicious coffee I have ever drank."

They talked about the amazing things they saw in the studio with excited voices.

"That is nothing. Did you guys see the equipment for us to work with?"

"Duh! Obviously, we did. How could have we worked yesterday without seeing it?"

"That's rude!"

"Stop bickering! But, seriously, the equipment was amazing. They must had spend a ton of cash on them."

"Yeah, with that equipment I didn't have any difficulties doing my assignment."

"My animation was about a girl and a dragon. Imagine producing the sound of a dragon! It was awesome!"

They started talking about the animations they worked with yesterday.

Everyone told about their animations, and when it was their former' bosses' turn, they all looked at the three of them with curious eyes.







They wanted to know how the three of them did.

Emina, Kanai, and Oichi smiled wryly when they noticed everyone looked at them with curious eyes.

The three of them received the hardest animations to work with, so they were not sure if they did well.

"My animation was about a forest." Emina said as she took a sip of her tea.

"My animation was about a spy trying to break into a fortified facility." Oichi said with a smile.

"My animation was about two characters being drawn by animators, but suddenly the two characters jump out of the pages and start to fight in the real world." Kanai explained simply.

The three of them explained their animations calmly, but their former employees had bewildered faces.

Everyone could tell that the animations that Emina, Kanai, and Oichi worked with were much harder than theirs.

They were all knowledgeable about sound engineering, so they knew the difficulty of doing the sound effects for the animations that they described.

The forest animation was difficult because there were so many layered sounds to be placed.

They needed to be arranged perfectly or the forest sound would be off, and the viewer would not be able to immerse himself in the animation.

The spy animation was difficult because these were very specific sounds that needed to be placed in the exact time frame or the continuity of the animation would be off.

,m And the fight scene was difficult because this was not a simple fight scene. It was a fight scene between characters who jumped out of pages. Kanai would need to produce unique sounds to make the animation make sense.

There was no doubt that the three of them were challenged to make their best effort with these animations.

A while later, they finished eating breakfast and got ready to go to the studio.

The hotel where they were staying was close to the studio, so they could walk there.

At 7:44 AM, they arrived at the studio and gave their ids to the guards.

After everyone received their Visitor Badge, they were guided to the Sound Studio by a guard.

"The boss will arrive shortly, you guys can wait here." The guard said when they arrived there.

Emina and the others nodded and thanked the guard.

They talked in low voices as they waited for the blue-haired girl.

Their heart started beating faster as their nervousness started showing

Especially, Emina, Kanai, and Oichi.

The three of them had too much at stake with the results they would receive in a few moments.

Their careers and debt with justice were something that they could only solve with Tkyo's help.

When the clock hit 8 am, a trove of people entered the sound studio.

And the person heading these people was a blue-haired girl dressed in casual clothes.

Even though she was younger than most of them, everyone looked at her with deep respect.

After two weeks of working under her, everyone loved and respected their boss deeply.

"Good morning, guys! I hope you slept well yesterday." Ryoko greeted them with a gentle smile.

Emina and the others greeted her back with nervous smiles.

They only slept because they were exhausted, but their nervous hearts could not be contained even with their fatigue.





"Well, I'm sure everyone is anxious to know the test results. So, I won't take more time." She smiled as she saw their anxiousness.

Emina and the others leaned in to hear her better.

It was time!

Her next words would change their lives, and they wanted to hear them clearly.

"After we inspected everything, we concluded that..." She made a little suspense.

Everyone held their breaths at that moment.

"That you all passed the test! It would be a pleasure to have you all in our studio." Ryoko said with a brilliant smile.

Time seemed to stop for a moment after she said that.

But when the information sank in, they could not contain their excitement.

"YES!" They shouted.

They started celebrating and hugging each other.

Everyone was really happy.

After everything that they suffered these last few months.

The shock of seeing the episodes leaked from their studio.

The lawsuit that was filed against them.

Their incapability to prove their innocence.

The sentence they received to pay 3 million dollars to the other studio.

The studio dismantlement to pay off the debt.

And finally, the ending of their careers because of their bad reputation.

But hearing now that they could work again with what they liked was like a dream coming true.

Their salvation.

Especially for Kanai, Emina, and Oichi.

Tears started falling from their eyes as they hugged each other.

Their hearts were filled with happiness and relief.

They felt so grateful for Tkyo's trust in them.

They vowed to themselves to be the best employees that the studio could have.

"Our HR employees will give your contracts for you to sign. Miss Kido, Miss Isaki, and Mr. Isaki. Can you three follow me? I want to talk with you three." Ryoko said with a calm voice when they calmed themselves.

Their eyes shone when they heard that.

It was finally time to be hired by the studio officially.

Oichi, Kanai, and Emina had nervous, but also excited faces when they heard that Ryoko wanted to talk with them.

They imagined already what Ryoko wanted to talk about with them.

But they could only believe it when Ryoko said the words.

What would happen to the three of them?
