Chapter 191: Better Days

Ariana moved from Theo's back, now standing in front of him, waiting for his answer.

"Fine." Theo smiled, "Sure, why not, let's do it."

"Ohh!" Ariana's eyes widened. She didn't expect him to accept so easily. "Really?"

"Mhm!" Theo nodded and laughed, "We can kiss on the day we have our date."

Ariana's expressions then went through three stages after hearing that. Initially, it was happiness followed by pleasant surprise, but then… it contorted into a grimace as if she had eaten a fly. She snorted slightly in annoyance when she realized that Theo was playing with her.

Theo asked her with a smile, "Don't be like that, don't you think it's better to leave it until our date?"

"But…" Ariana strained out her hands in defeat. "Okay. Then, I'll look forward to that day."

"Your harem is getting bigger and bigger, huh…" Jka laughed, "Keep going this way, and you'll make a lot of men jealous when they see that."

"Ohh," Theo had a malicious smile when he said, "Does that mean you're jealous, too, and want a harem of your own?"

"What…" Jka looked around, watching his wife's murderous gaze, he began to sweat furiously. "Where did you get that idea from? I don't want a harem, I'm already perfectly happy with my beautiful, perfect, glamorous wife!"

Jka was rapidly dispensing all sorts of compliments, hoping that his wife did not think he was really jealous of Theo's popularity with women.

"Hahahaha," Theo laughed, "See, that's what happens when you try provoking others."

"Aw-haha…" Jka laughed, discouraged, "I understand my place now."

Klin chuckled lightly at his submission. She knew that Jka wasn't serious about being jealous, but still, she couldn't help but want to see how he responded.

Ariana approached Zenia and embraced her.

"What is it, Ariana?" Zenia was already quite used to being hugged by other girls here at the orphanage. So, she didn't think much about being embraced so suddenly.

"No big deal." Ariana patted her hand atop Zenia's head, "Just recharging my energy with fluffiness." She smiled.

Zenia sighed. "You always say that, but the truth is that you just want to provoke me, don't you?"

Ariana said in a soft voice, "Of course not, I really think you're cute."

"I know…" Zenia moved away from Ariana's hug while pouting. "Why don't you hug Kelly? She's way cuter than I am."

Hearing that. Kelly was startled like a scared cat (maybe because she is a cat) and fled from Ariana's reach.

"Kelly…" Zenia murmured helplessly, "At this hour, she is always quick to run away."

"It's no surprise." Shina said as she approached, "Ariana is always trying to hug her, and she's even bitten her cheeks."

"But can you really blame me?" Ariana looked at Shina. "She's just so cute that it makes you want to bite her! Well, I did bite her a little."

Shina shook her head. "I'm not saying…? Just you got her to that point?!" She said to herself, "Although, I'd probably do the same."

Ariana showed her pink tongue and laughed loudly, "Thinking now, Shina… you're adorable too~, why don't you come over here to your big sister? Give me a hug!"

"Sure. But are you certain?" Shina had a smile that wasn't a smile when she manifested a ball of water in her hand.

"How fearsome~" Ariana pretended to tremble with fear as she said, "So violent. I was just kidding!"

Zenia sighed, relieved to see that Ariana had forgotten her. Unnoticed, she slipped away.

"Oh, you came back, Nanda." Yuki smiled, "Did your sister get to sleep?"

"Yes, she's just entered the world of dreams," Nanda said with a slight smile.

"Come on, have some of this, the barbecue Theo made is great!" Yuki said as she pulled Nanda towards the table.

"Right." Nanda nodded.

"Theo, can you cut a portion of meat for Nanda?" Yuki asked as they approached.

"Of course, your wish is my command!" Theo made a butler's bow as he spoke.

"What a joker!" Yuki laughed.

Nanda, who saw this, laughed discreetly at their display, despite being impressed by their interaction.

"Delicious! It's the best meat I've ever eaten in my life!" The moment Nanda experienced the dish, she blurted out in pure ecstasy, amazed at how good it was.

"I'm glad you liked it." Theo smiled, "There's a lot more, so if you want seconds, just ask."

"Is it okay if I ask for more, Hero Theo?" A little boy in his 9 years of age asked.

"Hero?" Theo shook his head, choosing not to overthink it. He smiled warmly as he answered him, "Yes, there's still plenty to go around. You can eat as much as you want."

"Wowww~!"

The boy celebrated when he heard that. Many of the other children who were too embarrassed to pick up more, also heard it. Most of them were children that Theo had saved from the Kenedy Clan.

As Theo put up a formation around the orphanage, he was also using his illusions to enclose it, so he did not see any problem with letting them all participate.

Seeing everyone having fun while eating and chatting made Theo very happy.

He stood in the center where everyone could see him as he clapped to draw everyone's attention, "Well, I'm glad you're all having fun! Oh, yes, be careful to not overeat, or you won't have any room for dessert."

The children's eyes sparkled in anticipation. Little Yui approached Theo at an astonishing speed, and everyone was left with their jaws hanging open at how fast she was.

She stood there with her eyes glowing, holding a plate in her hand stacked high with meat and sausage and a fork in her mouth. She took it out, she chewed her food lightly, then asked, "What's it going to be, Dad? Something tasty?"

"Chew and swallow before you speak." Theo smiled as he watched her nod, with her full cheeks like a squirrel, before she started chewing.

"Yes, it will be delicious." Theo looked at little Yui. Seeing her belly even more full than usual, he asked, "But will you still be able to eat after eating so much?"

"Daddy doesn't know?" Little Yui thumped her belly as she brightly replied, "Candy is a different matter, there's always room for more!"

"Who did she learn that from?" Theo wondered. Yet, he just smiled when he saw his daughter's confident look as she stated that she could always eat more food if it were sweet.

Theo, who looked at everyone, felt fortunate, seeing everyone so happy and having so much fun. He even felt like singing a song, one he remembered from his past life.

In his past life, he had the hobby of playing the guitar while singing.

A black guitar appeared in his hand. Looking at everyone, he said, "Can I have a bit of everyone's attention?"

"Yeah." They agreed, stopping what they were doing and paying attention to him.

"Alright." Although he was a little embarrassed to sing in front of a lot of people, it was still something he wanted to do. "I'd like to sing a song; its name is Better Days. I hope you can give me a moment of your time."

"…"

They were surprised by what he said but were still quite excited and expectant after knowing that he was going to sing. Even more so, since the name of the song caught their attention, especially for those whom he saved and whose futures were still uncertain.

"Yes!" They vibrated. Wanting to hear him sing.

Seeing that, Theo laughed strangely. He pulled up a chair to sit in, staying in the center of the area where everyone could see him.

Theo started playing his guitar.

"♪~♪~♪~♪"

With a surprisingly beautiful, tuned and deep voice, Theo began to sing, transmitting a lot of emotion to those who heard him sing.

Listening so far, everyone vibrated with emotion. Mainly those who had been enslaved by the Kenedy Clan, they embraced their children, wives, friends and husbands, thrilled. Every word Theo sang reached the depths of their souls. It was like he was declaring that it was possible to have better days and forcing them to believe it.

A whirlwind of emotions that better days in their lives would bloom, like a beautiful rose that blooms in spring.

"♪~♪~♪~♪"

"♪~♪~♪~♪"

With their agitated emotions, some of them even cried. Theo was singing with so much passion that they felt they were experiencing everything he sang. They had their eyes closed while listening to his voice, which seemed as if Theo could speak directly to their souls.

"♪~♪~♪~♪"

We live by waiting

The day we'll be

Theo closed his eyes while singing the last part of the song.

"♪~♪~♪~♪"

Many who were forced into being slaves held their eyes closed as they remembered their days. They seemed like eternities, counting the hours, the seconds, just hoping for better days. The days that their pains were gone, the days when they could reunite with their families again.

And although they waited for so long for better days, they had finally met their saviour. Not only did he make their days far better than before, he also welcomed them with food, taking care of them even though they were complete strangers.

There was no doubt in their hearts that Theo was extremely special to them, and they would always keep him in their hearts.

"♪~♪~♪~♪"

Uh! Uh! Uh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

Forever

Always! Always! Always!

"♪~♪~♪~♪"

"Wowww!"

*Applause~

They vibrated with energy the moment Theo finished singing. Their souls were crying out in celebration, thinking of the better days to come!

Yuki wiped the stream of tears from her eyes, "It was wonderful, Theo!"

"Aw-hahaha!" Jka laughed aloud, happily, "Theo! I didn't expect you to be so talented at singing!"

Shina, who had recorded Theo singing the song on her cell phone, came up to her as she said, "It was very amazing, Theo, I'm impressed!"

"I liked it a lot!" Klin said with a gentle smile.

"Daddy sings really well!" Said little Yui. "Yui wants to hear Daddy sing again!"

"Yes! Theo, you must sing one more time!" Ariana agreed.

Zaira and Zaika looked at Theo, full of emotions. They could personally identify with the lyrics of this song because ever since they met Theo, their lives had improved to such a degree that they had never thought it was possible to be so happy.

They were all so excited that they started chatting together, not even giving Theo time to answer.

Theo clapped his hands to collect their attention again, "If you all talk over each other, I won't understand. Please, speak one at a time." He had an awkward smile since he didn't expect his song to cause such a commotion.

What he didn't know was that, because of this day, he would be famous all over the world. All because of this one song he sang.
