Then voicing out his out-of-the-blue idea of their family managing a theater. Upon second thought, Anton knew that all of those ideas for business wouldn’t take much of his time. The shop for the enchanted item was a place that he could go to for the purpose of not staying in his room like some sort of Hikikimori. He planned to follow a schedule wherein he would go to the shop and spend his days there at least three days a week to create enchanted items for a couple of hours then spend the rest of the day playing his characters in his Diablo II system to increase his power.
His current idea for a plan was that the first three days of the week would be reserved for receiving lessons from his tutor in the morning, then repairing all the items that his Father and Nemina purchased a few hours in the afternoon and the rest of the time would be his own to use either for playing the game, utilizing his browser, practicing his guitar, or researching enchanted items. The next three days would then be spent in him going to his shop to create more enchanted items that the salesperson they would hire would sell on the first floor while he was on the second floor. Of course, he would only create enchanted items for a few hours and the rest of the time, he would level up his character in the World of Sanctuary.
The seventh day would be his rest day to spend however he wanted like maybe exploring the city or just wasting his time watching animes and movies or reading web novels.
Regarding the theater, it was contingent on the idea that they would find a magical item that could record the movies they wanted to show to the public. Anton wondered if the movies would cause any issues with the city. He would ask his tutor about that.
“Please remember that I’ll only agree to the theater if we can find a magic item that will let me record the movie so you can use it to show to customers since I don’t want to spend my days casting my spells for customers to watch the films. Also, the recorded image and sound should have a very high quality,” Anton said to everyone.
“So if we find an artifact like that, you’re amenable to us managing a theater?” Anders asked and Anton nodded.
“I imagine that the movie theater alone would allow us to earn a huge amount of coins!” Frederick exclaimed.
“That meant that you, Lunelle, and Devon should prioritize finding if the city has that kind of magic item,” Nemina told the mage and her children.
“I’m so glad the dangerous travel was over and we’re staying here rebuilding our lives! I’m sure that the undead will not attack us here!” Anna suddenly said, which made Anton gasp.
Everyone was startled when they saw Anton’s over-the-top reaction. Anton passed it off by awkwardly laughing since he couldn’t explain the concept of red flag to his family and friends. The only thing that Anton could do was to make sure to keep leveling up his characters so he would become powerful enough to defend his family.
After dinner, Anton went to his room to think of ideas about the enchanted items that would help him, his family and his friends escape in case the city fell to the undead. The best thing that he could think of was to create a list. Like an item that would help them create a warp gate or enchanted flying carriage that could turn invisible, things like that. He just really hoped that they would have more time. Anna becoming a more powerful mage would help and having incredible wealth would assist them greatly as well.
Anton wondered why he was now thinking of escaping instead of fighting like before and thought of the hierarchy of mages that he learned during his noble title anointment. The fact that some considered the Undead Coalition equal to the city of Zalnothel was worrying since based on what he had seen so far in the city, Zalnothel was incredibly powerful.
He thought his power was already enough to contend with the Undead Coalition but learning that the archmage rank was still one of the lowest in the magical totem pole awakened him. Maybe he would regain his confidence once he reached the Supreme or even Legend rank.
Anton’s plan with the druid character was once he reached the maximum level, he would also scatter his skill points to all the spells since that would increase his power in real life but he would still probably avoid the transformation tree since he really didn’t want to become a werewolf or a werebear in real life.
Sunday arrived and everyone was busy since there would be a movie viewing in the afternoon. When Anton joined his family for breakfast, he was surprised to see his tutor and Anna’s tutor joining them for breakfast.
“Mr. Tenor, Ms. Damby, I’m surprised to see you here so early!” Anton exclaimed.
“We planned to talk to you and your father about something Baron Sunders,” Anton’s tutor said but the comment made Anna and Anton giggle which startled Mr. Tenor.
“I’m sorry Sir Tenor, my children are still young, and hearing you addressing Anton as a Baron is still very new to them and is causing them juvenile hilarity. As you see, our family severely needs a lesson in etiquette,” Anders told the two old tutors which made them smile when they realized the cause of the two siblings hilarity.
“I’m sorry Sir Tenor. We’re still not used to anyone calling me Baron Sunders,” Anton apologized and Anna apologized as well.
After breakfast, Anton followed his father and the two tutors to his father’s office.
“What can we do for you sir, madam?” Anders asked the two tutors.
“We’re currently living in an apartment inside the university which was awarded to those professors who retired. It’s an hour's travel from there to here so me and Ms. Damby are requesting if we can stay in the manor instead. You can reduce the remuneration that you’re giving to us by fifty percent,” Mr. Tenor said.
“Of course, you can stay here and we will not reduce your remuneration! We’re happy to have you stay in the manor. As you know, I and my children were farmers before we arrived here, and having someone as learned as the both of you in the manor will be a blessing to us,” Anders said to the two old tutors sincerely, and when they saw Anton nodding, the two old tutors smiled.
Anders then asked the two old tutors if they were amenable to permanently staying in the rooms they stayed before and the two teachers assured Anton and his father that the rooms were some of the best rooms they had stayed due to the fact that there were enchanted items in there.
“Honestly, we’re also excited to see the movies later. I would even watch the first movie again!” Ms. Damby said.
After their talk, Anders called some maids to lead the tutor to their rooms. They would move a few days later.
In Anders's office, Anton and his Father talked.
“There’s a chance that Mr. Tenor and possibly Ms. Damby were assigned to us by Zalnothel to monitor us,” Anton told his father.
“I thought of that as well but since we’re not hiding anything, they could stay and as I’ve said, having teachers in the manor would help us greatly,” Anders said.
