Third Floor, The Spark Restaurant.
8 AM, Thursday, December 31st.
The last day of the year arrived, and with it, the celebration that moved the entire Azure Star.
Even though everyone in the Sakura Abode Country had the day off that day, most of them still woke up early that morning. That was because they had to prepare for the party later.
A New Year Party was marked by traditional dishes and unique decorations.
For example, for the traditional fish dishes, everyone had to eat at least one fish dish on the New Year. That's why markets around every city in the country registered crowds of people searching for the best fish for their parties.
In a city like Elffire City, it was hard to find sea fishes, most of the fish on the market were lake and river fish. Everyone wanted sea fish, but few managed to get it in the end.
As the markets would be closed on the 31st, everyone crowded the markets on the day before looking for the best fish for their parties.
Elffire City was quiet that Thursday morning, instead of cars crowding the streets of the city, we were able to see streets free of traffic and movement. Everyone was in their houses preparing for the party later.
That is, almost everyone was like that.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBecause there was a group of people who partied too hard last night and still hadn't woken up.
Theo stirred in his sleep as he felt that his bed felt different that morning.
It was only when he noticed that his bed wasn't comfy as usual that he opened his eyes.
His silver eyes showed how tired he was as he remembered what happened the night before.
"Ouch, I shouldn't have drank that much." Theo exclaimed softly as he felt his head throb in pain.
He looked around him and noticed Kin and Max sleeping next to him. Theo was glad that even in his drunken state, he still separated the girls from the guys.
For a moment, Theo just stayed there quiet as he contemplated what to do next, he needed to do that because the alcohol still was affecting him a little.
It was only after a minute of thinking that he made a decision. He decided to let everyone sleep for a while longer while he cooked breakfast for everyone, afterwards, he could wake everyone up to eat breakfast.
After deciding on what to do, Theo immediately stood up and left toward the kitchen. He walked slowly as he tried to shake off his drunken state.
Theo was aware that Ayia and Shizuka would leave before lunch, so he decided to cook an extravagant breakfast for them to eat before they leave.
As he cooked, Theo became soberer and soberer. His enhanced body worked extra hard to eliminate the alcohol in its blood. When Theo finished cooking a while later, he was totally sober and ready for another day.
He placed the dishes on the trolley and moved the food to the third floor through the elevator.
When he arrived there, he found things were in the same way he left them, everyone was still in a deep drunken sleep.
Theo had time to set the dishes on the table, open the ceiling to let the morning light come in, and tidy everything up.
When he finished doing these things, he looked at the two drunk guys who hadn't even moved while he made so much noise and shook his head wryly.
'I guess I will have to take drastic measures to wake everyone up.' Theo said to himself.
"Sylph, open all the window shades and play loud music. Let's wake these kids." Theo laughed evilly.
Sylph had no problems following his orders as she was also connected to the system that ran the restaurant.
Seconds later, all the window shades opened and the morning light entered the third floor of the restaurant. Just that was not enough to wake them up, but they still stirred in their sleep. It was then that a loud New Year Song was played loudly through the speakers spread around the third floor of the restaurant.
The loud continuous sound and the morning light made everyone crawl back up from their deep sleep.
They moved their hands to their ears and eyes to try to lessen the impact of the loud music and morning light on them, but it wasn't very effective.
"Ughhh!" They growled in pain as they tried to understand what was happening.
It was then that a voice filled with liveness said loudly, "Good morning, morning flowers!!!"
They all searched for the owner of the voice and saw Theo looking at them with a wide smile on his face.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThey did not understand where they were and why they were there, but they could understand that Theo was making fun of them. They would consider attacking them, but the pain on their bodies and head made them just want to die there.
"Come on! It's almost 9 AM. I made breakfast for everyone already, let's eat. Oh, and the music won't stop until everyone wakes up." Theo said loudly with a chuckle.
"Ughhh!" They all moaned back in pain when they heard that.
They did not have Theo's enhanced body, so their drunk escapade last night hit them much harder. The only exception was Aurora as she hadn't drunk as much as the others.
They did remember much from last night, all they could remember was that there was a party after the service ended, but they did not remember much else.
But due to the pain and hangover, they were feeling, they all could understand that they had drunk too much alcohol during the party.
'I won't drink alcohol ever again!' They all had the same thought as they tried to stand up.
The loud music was making their headaches throb even harder, so they just followed Theo's instructions so the sound could stop.
A few minutes later, after a lot of effort, everyone got seated at the table, and when the last person got seated, the music stopped. They were grateful for once in their life for the silence, but that silence was short-lived, as Theo's loud voice was heard once again, "Hey, guys! I made some juices and food good for hangovers, so let's eat!"
Everyone nodded in automatic as they just followed his lead.
Even though their brain was not working normally at that moment, they still were grateful when they realized that Theo cooked all those dishes for them.
Slowly and steadily, everyone got better as they drank and ate what Theo placed there for them.
Theo had cooked dishes that would help with their pain, so it wasn't a surprise that they were getting better.
After a few minutes of a silent breakfast, everyone got better enough to be able to chat as they ate.
And subjects of conversation weren't what they lacked after the night they had yesterday.
