Theo woke up the next day feeling refreshed.
The restaurant already opened and the only thing he needed to do now was to cook. And that he knew how to do it well.
He decided to take the day off from the training and only go to the restaurant later.
While Theo was making breakfast for him and Aurora, he heard a sound inside his head.
[Ding! Congratulations! You completed the mission:

'Finally! These 2 missions took the most time to complete.' Theo said in his mind with relief.
'Wow I received 500k. Now if I want to buy something I won't have to take money from the Company's bank account.'
'And the most important reward is the Sword Art Online Light Novel!! This novel was a huge success in my past life. And the best thing is that I only have to write and not draw the whole thing.'
While Theo was going through the rewards, another sound was heard in his mind.

'Hmm these missions are simpler compared to the last ones.'
'The first one I just have to keep doing a good job at the restaurant. I was hoping for 85% of approval because there are always people who will dislike stuff. But now I'll have to go up with the quality.'
'And the second mission is really easy. I think I can complete it today if I buy an electronic piano and play for the clients at the restaurant. But with the way the system works, this mission will probably be graded. So, I will have to rehearse a song and play it with perfection.'
'Aurora's birthday is two weeks away, maybe I can throw a party at the restaurant for her and play a song at the party...'
A while Theo was planning on how to finish his mission, Aurora exited her room with a sleepy face.
"Good morning, big brother." Aurora said with a sweet sleepy voice.
Theo looked at her and smiled.
"Good morning, sunshine, I made breakfast. Come eat with me." he said.
Aurora nodded.
While they were eating, they talked about the restaurant.
"Do you want to come with me to the restaurant today?" Theo asked.
"Yes! I will do my homework here. And when the restaurant opens, I will be able to help sister June." Aurora said with excitement.
"Okay, cupcake." Theo laughed.
"Hey, your birthday is 2 weeks. Do you want to call your friends and classmates to the restaurant? I can cook for you guys." Theo asked.
Aurora was surprised. Since their parents died, she didn't have a birthday party anymore. It seemed that her brother wanted to celebrate her birthday like in old times.
"Thank you, brother! I want it!" Aurora sweetly smiled.
"Leave it to me then. You just have to invite your friends." Theo said.
They finished breakfast and Aurora went to do her homework.
Theo went to search prices for an Acoustic Piano. He wanted a good piano but not too pricy.
And he found the perfect piano.
It was a Bösendorfer Grand Piano, it was priced at 150k dollars.
It was below the market price because it already had a previous owner. This piano was usually priced at 200k.
Theo appointed a visit to see the piano tomorrow to see if the piano was in good condition.
Later that day, Theo and Aurora arrived at the restaurant.
"June, how're the reservations?" Theo asked when he entered the restaurant.
"Boss, we are practically sold out. Only the private rooms are not reserved. The clients from last night were a good advertisement and the restaurant is becoming famous in town." June said.
"Good, I want everything to be perfect. Tell the staff that they must be extra careful." Theo said and went to the kitchen.
Theo had to have 90% of approval from the clients.
That night the restaurant had another great service. And even more clients.
All the clients that visited, took pictures and posted them online. Their friends saw the beautiful pictures and were impressed and consequently, they also wanted to eat at Theo's restaurant.
And like that The Spark Restaurant was becoming famous.
The next day, Monday.
Theo was at a Music Store looking at the piano.
The piano was frosted black with silver details. It was a beautiful instrument.
Theo checked the chords, the pieces, and all the other structures of the instrument.
And he was satisfied with what he saw.
The piano didn't have any major flaws and he could play it after some adjustments.
Theo asked for a professional to fix the piano according to his standards and the store said they would be able to deliver by the next day.
Theo exited the store and went to his office at the Umbrella Company.
He wanted to search for a song he could play at the party.
He went through multiple songs of this planet, and he didn't find anything that made him think it was the perfect song to play at his sister's birthday party.
It was then that he decided to search in his memory for songs from his past life.
In his past life, he didn't play any instruments, but he watched multiple movies with the children, and he remembered the melody of the soundtracks.
Then remembered a day when he was 12yo and he just had come back from working as a delivery boy. He was so tired, but the little ones were waiting at the front of the orphanage for him.
All the tiredness went away that instant, and he watched a Studio Ghibli Movie with them that day and it was one of the best movies he ever saw.
He would never forget the look of the wonder of the kids as they saw that movie.
The movie was Spirited Away, and the song was 'Summer' by Joe Hisaishi. This song has a happy tone, and it was perfect for a birthday party.
Theo decided that he would play another song.
So, he started searching for another song with a more serious tone.
And he found it after 2 hours of searching.
It was 'Ballade Pour Adeline'. This song existed in his past life and in this life too. So, Theo didn't have to search his memories to play it.
Theo spent the day writing the sheet of the songs. And he also started writing the chapters of the SAO light novel. (Sword Art Online).
Sayuri sent the report of the sales of the Naruto copies and bookstores all around the country were requesting copies to sell at their stores. They only needed to increase the production and expand the company.
Theo wanted to buy another building that will serve exclusively to print and produce the copies. He told Sayuri to contact Sam, and for them to search for possible buildings to buy.
When he went to the restaurant that day, Theo was feeling happy that everything was going well.
