After finishing breakfast, I went back to my dark room to continue producing the song for Aoi. While finalizing the track, I occasionally took breaks to check Twitter and YouTube.

The video's views on YouTube kept rising like crazy.

People from all over the world were watching it. I read some comments, and people were asking for a full version of the song. They wanted to hear the song fully "produced," basically completed.

But I didn't want to upload the demo to YouTube or anything like that. I was only going to send it to Aoi.

So, after almost two hours, I finally finished the song.

Now that the track was complete, I opened the audio file before sending it to Aoi. As the music started playing, my melodic and powerful voice reached my ears.

'It's like I'm listening to a high-quality cover.'

However, in this world, this song is an original song!

With a smile on my face, I sent the audio to Aoi.

[It's finished. This is the demo I sang, listen to it and tell me what you think.]

Even though I already knew her answer (she would definitely love it), I still sent that message.

Aoi already had her messaging app open because she replied immediately.

[I'm going to listen to it right now! But I already know what I'm going to think… I'm definitely going to love it. I'll reply in a few minutes because I'm obviously going to listen to this like five times in a row!]

Letting out a sigh, I finally left my room.

My mother was in the living room, lying on the couch. She was watching a TV series.

'Come to think of it, it's been a while since I watched a series. I don't even know what kind of shows are popular these days.'

I wonder if the romance craze is still going strong.

I sat down on the couch and placed my mother's legs over my lap.

"What's this? Are you going to give me a massage?"

"What series is this?"

"It's a police investigation series with romance."

"Is it good?"

"It's boring. I'm on episode two, but I'm already thinking about dropping it. If it doesn't get better next episode, I'm not watching it anymore."

"I see."

"But what's wrong? Do you want something?"

"Hm? I just want to spend time with my dear mother."

"Just tell me what you want already."

"What do you think about us moving?"

Hearing my question, my mother stayed silent while looking at the TV. Her silence lasted several long seconds.

Then she answered.

"I'm fine with it."

"That easily?"

"But you'll have to talk to your father about it. You want to move because of what happened, right? You want more privacy."

"I also want more space. I'm thinking about building a studio to produce music."

"Seriously?"

"Yes," I said. "Alright, I'll convince Dad. Although I think it'll be easy. If I manage to convince him, we'll go look for a house together."

My mother smiled and said, "I love you, Kyo."

"So suddenly?"

"I'm just really proud of you. That's all."

After that, we watched episode two of the series in silence.

And just like my mother said… it was extremely boring.

After watching episode two of the series with my mother, I returned to my room and looked at my phone. Aoi Hoshino had already replied. She had sent almost ten messages, which surprised me.

'She gets excited way too easily.'

With a smile, I read her messages.

[This is incredible! Your voice is even better than I imagined, Kyo! And you really produced this song all by yourself!? How can you be this talented!?]

[I feel bad… I'll never be able to produce a song like this… I can't even write lyrics of this quality.]

[I don't know if it's a good idea for me to sing this song, Kyo… You should release this demo as a single, I'm sure it would become a huge hit. Maybe you could even reach number one on the charts like you promised.]

That last message made me let out a long sigh.

Then I replied.

[I already told you this song is yours. I don't plan on focusing on my career as a singer right now. So, are you going to sing it? If you want, I can accompany you to the studio. I'm not sure I want to leave this work to someone else.]

Aoi replied almost immediately.

[I'm going to sing it! I want to do it as soon as possible! Ever since I listened to the demo, I've been singing the song nonstop around the house!]

[Great. Talk to Rina about it, she'll put it on my schedule.]

Aoi sent another message, but I ignored it.

After checking my emails and seeing that there weren't any important ones, I sent a message to Rina asking about the gym. She immediately replied saying that I could start going whenever I wanted.

I just needed to contact Daiki and tell him I wanted to go to the gym.

'Should I really do it?'

I looked at the clock.

"It's not even nine in the morning yet. Well… I guess I'll do it."

I sent a message to Daiki, and he quickly arrived at my house.

I changed into proper clothes. Light clothes and a pair of sports shoes that I rarely use. While we were heading to the gym, Daiki said:

"I was pretty surprised when I heard you singing. You really are talented, huh?"

"I think people are exaggerating."

After that, we stayed silent the entire ride.

As soon as I arrived at the gym, the woman at the reception recognized me, and shortly after, another woman appeared. Her name was Kana Fujisaki, and she had an extremely toned body. Honestly, I was surprised when I saw her.

This woman would be my personal trainer.

Well, I already know how to use gym equipment, but even so, I didn't refuse her help.

As soon as I started training, Kana became very surprised by both my strength and my physique.

She said:

"It's unbelievable that a body like this belongs to a thirteen-year-old."

She was practically drooling.

Is she one of those women obsessed with muscles?

After finishing my workout, I was sweating heavily and felt extremely tired.

When I got back into the car to head home, I said to Daiki:

"I don't know if I want to go back there. That woman is crazy. She's going to kill me someday."

"Hahahaha."

Daiki laughed.

Some time later, I arrived home.

I sat in front of the computer and continued writing the first volume of "The Apothecary Diaries."

I kept working throughout the afternoon until my father arrived home. As soon as he got back, I called him over to talk. Sitting across from him at the table, I said:

"I want to buy a new house."
