Soon, the Tokyo police contacted various media and announced the training exercise on television.TV channels, including NHK, which had just been broadcasting a variety show, suddenly cut off the feed and switched to a news anchor announcing, "Here is the latest news bulletin. At 2235 hours, Tokyo's police forces conducted a counter-terrorism training exercise, aimed at drilling the units' ability to respond to a scenario of retaking Tokyo Dome from hostile forces."No officer participating in said exercise was informed that it was just a drill, and the special forces' ability to respond to sudden threats had been thus demonstrated with flying colors. The training exercise is now complete, and all officers have left Tokyo Dome in an orderly manner. When approached for a statement, the Tokyo Commissioner commended all involved officers with high praise while urging citizens who were previously misled to remain calm."The announcement was also broadcast in different languages for over

Nanako laughed. "Of course I do. He went to Tokyo with his wife to attend Tanya's concert in the first place.""You still love him even knowing that he has a wife?" Kokomi asked. "Doesn't that hurt?""No," Nanako giggled. "If anything, he's heading to a place where no woman can realistically tread, and I'm satisfied just sharing a moment with him in his life."Kokomi's opinion of Charlie elevated further at that. "If you put it that way, I'd like to spend more time with him now…""Then come to Oskia," Nanako told her. "You were saying that he will be hosting multiple concerts with Tanya? Since you're her friend, you can join her in Oskia, and we can meet up.""Really? But I'm worried my father won't allow it…" Kokomi sighed, but quickly said, "Still, I guess I could try and ask!"-It was very late when Yoshitaka returned from Oshino Hakkai, assuring his father that everything was fine without mentioning Yoshiyasu.The samurai's bodies had been dealt with, and the others were h

Satisfied, Charlie replied, "Well, if you're confident in our success, let's move on to the second matter on the agenda."Pausing to keep them in suspense, he then asked, "Are you both familiar with Tanya Sweet?"Matilda smiled, nodding. "As in the international popstar? She's quite the sensation—I like her songs myself."Yolden pursed his lips. "I'm not much of a fan, but Autumn used to be one, and I listened to some of her songs because of that."Charlie nodded, smiling. "And that brings us to the next question, which is how we're going to organize twenty Tanya Sweet solo concerts in Oskia.""Twenty?!"Yolden exclaimed at the number, astounded. "I've seen economic papers actually going through a full, detailed breakdown of the revenue figures Tanya Sweet's concerts brought to Singapore, and I was absolutely flabbergasted when I read through it."Her performances are more than just ticket sales, advertising, venue rentals, or catering—fans from around the globe would travel to

Matilda had always worked in law, both in the United States and in Oskia. Studying the legal case precedents was therefore a key part of her work, and she knew better than anyone that revising legalities was a lengthy process, so studying precedents was the best way to stay informed of the latest legal trends.Through that, she was therefore aware of scalpers who built on their technological advantage over the rest."Those scalpers are growing in numbers, but the punishments remain lenient," she told Charlie. "In showbiz, premiums are persistently on the rise, so that means the scalpers' profit margins increase like clockwork. As we won't have the capacity to lobby for legal improvements quickly, we need a solution that will discourage scalpers from trying to exploit us."Charlie nodded, "As they usually swarm the ticket platforms with their human resource or edge in technology, we should change our approach and not implement the usual timed ticket purchase systems.""What? Well, w

Overnight, rumors of Tanya holding a concert in Oskia spread like wildfire to the rest of the country.Even though there was no confirmation whatsoever, the rumors somehow felt believable, and fans across the country were all talking about the possibility that it could be true.By the next morning, the rumor made trending searches anyway, and topping the leaderboard was: 'Rumored Tanya Sweet Concert in Oskia.'There were others that made the leaderboard too, including 'Curtis Autos Organizing Tanya Sweet Concert' in third, 'Curtis Autos Statement When' at fourth, and 'Will You Be There When Tanya Sings' at tenth.Then, after further discussion in the morning, 'Curtis Autos Statement When' gradually rose to the top.As more time passed, most speculated that Curtis Autos would have made an official statement to deny the rumors. Even though smaller companies occasionally used fake news as publicity stunts or simply to spread brand awareness, Curtis Autos had the backing of the Wades
