[BONUS CHAPTER]
"Mr. Tim Uta and Miss Hideko Mori, you will get the job." Theo said as he looked at the two of them.
Both beca ecstatic when they heard that.
Tim and Hideko were considerably older compared with Theo and the rest of the staff.
Tim was 41 yo and Hideko was 38 yo.
But the point that made them stand out was their eclectic skills, they were able to work in their respective teams in a multitude of ways.
And also their work ethic was exemplary.
Even though they were not the best cooks in the examination, these two points were the main reasons that they were hired.
The rest of the candidates revealed sad and disappointed looks as they left the restaurant.
"It's a pleasure to welco you two into my kitchen." Theo smiled.
"Thank you, chef!" The two of them replied respectfully.
Even though it was a weird sight, older people treating with deference a young guy.
In the kitchen, only one thing mattered, the skill of cooking.
Theo and Ayia were much younger than Tim and Hideko, but they cooked much better.
But that didn't an that Tim and Hideko were awful cooks.
It was the opposite way, the two of them were the perfect cooks to help the chef finish the service.
And that was exactly what the kitchen needed.
That night, Tim and Hideko only observed how the service went. Because tomorrow their work in the kitchen would start.
And starting tomorrow, the rotating schedule would start.
For example, tomorrow Max and Lauren had the day off.
Thursday it would be Gwen and Kin.
Friday it would be Shizuka and Ayia.
Saturday it would be Shoko and Kimiko.
Sunday it would be Theo and Hideko.
And this sche would continue endlessly.
The night service went through without any problems.
The clients were a little disappointed that the special autumn nu was not available, but they could not complain much as the normal dishes of the restaurant were already delicious.
For the rest of the week, Theo had the sa routine.
He woke up early in the morning to go spar with Akihiko-sensei.
After training with Theo for so long, the sensei was able to advance his martial arts.
He was excited about it and decided to compete in a martial art tournant.
For the last weeks, Theo has been training the sensei.
And it was tough training, mainly for Akihiko as Theo would beat him rcilessly to point out his flaws.
Next week would be the tournant and Theo was only having light spars with him, he did not want to hurt Akihiko too much before the matches.
After the sparing, Theo would go back ho to cook breakfast and lunch for Aurora.
Subsequently, after seeing Aurora going out to classes, he would start working on his book.
For this week, he decided to work from ho.
He was not needed in the office as Sam would manage the company even without him.
And he only had to work on his projects.
Writing the book in the comfort of ho was much better, so for the remaining of the week, he spent his days concentrating on writing the book.
He would only get out of the apartnt to go to the restaurant.
It was noticeable to comnt that the rotating schedule was a success, all employees were happy to get an extra day off work.
Hideko and Tim made so mistakes in the first days, but their ample experience was not a show.
After struggling for a while, they were able to catch up with the rest of the staff.
Friday, November 6th
The autumn wind swept the fla leaves that fell from the sakura trees.
The temperature was starting to change and winter was coming.
The whole city resud its usual operations after celebrating the autumn week.
The bustling capital of the Bluecorn State was full of people with dreams and determination.
Inside a standard apartnt building, one young man with silver hair and a godly figure could be seen writing sothing furiously on the computer.
It may sound like he was angry, but it was the opposite.
He was excited and emotional.
Theo was able to enter an inspirational state where he could write things like a flow of river.
His fingers danced in the keys of the computer as his light novel ca to reality.
His mind was imrsed in the book as if he was inside of it.
The decision to write about his past and the orphanage proved to be right because now he could 'see' his family again.
Tears rolled out of his silver eyes as he continued writing.
The emotion of 'seeing' again his family was too much for Theo.
Suddenly his fingers stopped dancing their suave lody dance, but his eyes kept their attempt to get the emotions out by getting out the salty tears.
Theo could not describe well what he was feeling.
He was both sad and happy.
He just imrsed himself in the feeling and he saw a movie playing in his head.
His past life in the orphanage, the accident, asking the couple to take care of his orphanage, dying, arriving in a new world, the system, getting to know that his family was able to live through with the help of the couple, living a new life, trying to be happy.
When the 'movie' ended Theo felt an emotion of closure.
Because even after getting a new chance to live, he always felt grief for leaving his family behind, even though they were happy by now with the help of the couple.
But now he felt a closure, he didn't need to grieve anymore.
That didn't an he didn't miss his past family, that only ant he learned to live through it and just be happy that he was able to live with them for 18 years.
Theo lifted his hand and dried the tears from his eyes.
He smiled and laughed with happiness.
He looked at the light novel that he wrote on the computer.
It might not be great work for others, but this novel ant a lot for him.
It was his first work and his most important one because it ant his farewell to his past life.
He started reading the book to analyze critically mistakes made by him.
In the inspirational state, he was in, he did not care if he made orthographic or structural mistakes.
So, he had to verify the whole thing.
Theo constructed the story to be a compound of tales.
Each tale would tell stories.
So were funny, so were sad, so were cute.
But what was common between all the tales was the focus on the orphanage.
Each tale was a piece of a puzzle, and when soone finished the last tale they would see a beautiful image.
Because in the last tale of the light novel, the ending evoked little and bug things that happened in the past tales.
It was a sweet and heartwarming ending.
Theo did not want a sad ending because his ending and his family's ending were not sad.
He wanted to give his readers the feeling that even throughout all the difficulties his family had a happy ending.
Deep down, it was also because Theo wanted to see his family happy in his book.
The characters in the book were the closest approximation he could create after his past family.
He wrote about the matron, the children, the teenagers, the caretakers, and others.
The whole book was carefully written and planned.
Theo was imrsed in checking his book when suddenly he heard a sound in his mind.
He was a little confused for a while, but suddenly he rembered sothing.
He looked at the calendar and saw it was November 6th
