⚠️warning inspired:Phantom of the Opera (by Gaston Leroux)/(by McMullan Kate), (by Arthur Lubin), (by Andrew Lloyd Webber) contents:blood, swearing, yandere discotrain, mental illness, mind control, death, serious bullying, machine translation

Let me make a few excuses. I said that the role of Raoul would not be in this story. Unfortunately, that hasn't changed… but Raoul and Christine's adorable childhood is one of my favorite scenes, and I was wondering if there was any way to describe it. I was also a bit worried about the describe of Metro. I have a favorite fairy tale about cats, and I wanted to tell that story, too.(and...Train Rush in space??)

So the Empress and Grooves are friends. Please don't get me wrong, there is no romantic interest between them!The trigger? Well……I'll talk about it when I think of it.

🎬The restaurant setting was inspired by Kenji Miyazawa's "The Restaurant of Many Orders" and "Night on the Galactic Railroad"(or "the Night of the Milkey Way Train". Many English translations exist for this title. I honestly don't know which name to call it. I'm sorry but I will decide by next time.) However, you do not need to know the story as we just borrowed the concept. Cats do not eat customers, and the destination of the Galactic Railroad is the moon.

🎬Two years after the Empress purchased the property from Grooves, she and her friend built a restaurant. The name? …… Let's call it Lapis Lazuli. It comes from the full starry sky visible from the moon.

🎬The restaurant is thriving. Even though there is quite a lot of seating, there is never a noticeable empty seat. So the kitchen is always very busy.

🎬The head cook is Cherry, Cooking Cat. Before building the restaurant, she had been the head cook in a hotel run by the mafia, but she was bored with her job because she only cooked the same dishes every day. Then she received an offer from the Empress and decided to have her own restaurant.

🎬There are many cats in the kitchen besides her. Some of them were originally prefects of the Empress.

🎬The restaurant has a stage. At the center of it is a piano, where you can enjoy your food while listening to the wonderful jazz music played by a moon penguin, the performing staff.

🎬Why did the Empress decide to open a restaurant? What happened to her jewelry store? That' s simple…Metro got rid of Nyakuza.

🎬This was after she had acquired the land of the moon. The Owl Express conductor went missing and the train could no longer operate. The troubled owls decided to use the metro to commute to work until the express resumes service.

🎬Taking advantage of this trend, a project to renew the Metro was launched. The officials set out to improve public safety so that the owls could use the metro in peace.

🎬As a result, the Empress had to give up her beloved jewelry store in exchange for a large sum of money unilaterally given to her.

🎬She is no longer Nyakuza. She had to give up all the stores she had owned and operated. All she was left with was unsold jewelry, a lot of money, a few prefects, and a land on the moon.

🎬Failure was no longer an option for her. She had to succeed in her new business and revive the Nyakuza at any cost.

🎬She immediately contacted Cooking Cat and suggested the restaurant business to her.

🎬There must have been many difficulties before opening the restaurant. In fact, The cats had to improve their culinary skills and it took months of menu development by Cooking Cat.

🎬There were probably significant cultural differences between what the cats liked and what the moon penguins preferred. The atmosphere of service, the wording, the flavors, the gestures, the etiquette, etc. To adapt to their culture, the Empress checked the restaurants and boutiques of the moon every day and also listened to trendy music.

🎬Making connections was probably the hardest part. Anyway, she needed to make a lot of moon penguin friends, besides Grooves. In the process, she found a moon penguin who played the piano wonderfully well and invited him to join the performance staff at the restaurant.

🎬Now, why did Grooves give away the land? Last time I mentioned that his mailbox was filled with lots of fan letters and bug eggs.

🎬About a month after he won the Bird Actor Award, strange, monstrous letters began arriving at him daily. The carefully sealed, plain white letters had several small, white, round objects on them. The contents of the letters made nonsense, and Grooves didn't even know what the round things were. So sometimes he would throw them away right away, and sometimes he would just leave them on the table with the newspaper.

🎬The eggs peeled off from the letter on the table, fell into a crevice in the floor, and hatched. The eggs from the letter he threw away also hatched in the trash. They ate the wood of the house and multiplied rapidly.

🎬It was two weeks later that Grooves realized this. He had no choice. He was busy with work at the time and didn't get home much. He finally learned of the bugs when he opened his favorite book before bedtime and found black bugs squashed in places. Confused, he bought some insecticide and sprayed the chemicals all over the house. That should have killed most of the bugs, but it did not restore the gnawed wood or the stained books.

🎬A week later, something even worse happened. The doorbell rang and Grooves opened the front door. There was "the director". Grooves was surprised to see, and quickly turned away from the awkwardness …… to find him holding a knife in his right fin.

🎬Grooves reflexively closed the door, locked it, and barricaded himself in. When he opened his upstairs window to call the police, he saw him running back, so he gave up on the call. Because there was no evidence.

🎬Naturally, Grooves had a hard time calming down. He wanted someone to share this fear with him and tell him it would be okay. So he decided to contact his best friend.

🎬The Empress was worried when her best friend told her that his house was in shambles and that he had just been almost killed. Neither of them had expected this to happen the last time they had seen each other and played together after a long time when he had won an award. The Empress decided to cut out of work and stay with her best friend for a little while.

🎬They talked it over and Grooves decided to take a year off and leave his hometown. Obviously, he was tired of acting like a star. So what about his house? The Empress offered him a deal. She wanted him to forget about all this and enjoy his vacation.

🎬The Empress got the land …… but three months later she was kicked out of the metro.

🎬Grooves looked quite well when he visited her there after hearing that she had built a restaurant. After enjoying some food and chat, he revealed that he was interested in a new challenge. …making movie as the director.

🎬Of course, he loves acting. But after some time back at work, he wanted to make a film from scratch.

🎬They would meet at this restaurant every two months. Grooves seemed to really enjoy it. But on the other fin, he seemed to be concerned that the film was not getting good reviews. He was disappointed that people didn't understand his taste and that he couldn't reward his crews' hard work with anything other than a paycheck …… Until he met Phantom.

🎬Subsequently, Grooves' visits to the restaurant became less frequent. But the Empress was not worried that he was not showing up at the restaurant; in fact, she was pleased. She knew that his latest movie was a hit. He must be so busy that he doesn't even have time to come to the moon……. She missed him, but more than that, she was happy for her best friend's newfound success.

🎬He visited the restaurant twice, at great intervals, and each time she sensed something different about him. As if he were exclusive and secretive… had he been like this before? Perhaps this is the kind of charisma that a real star has?

🎬After Grooves won the award, the Empress noticed that he had definitively changed. A moonstone engagement ring adorned his chest.

🎬What would she think of his change? Raoul was deeply in love with Christine so he was terribly angry when he saw her ring. Then what about the Empress? Since they were friends, it seemed the best way to congratulate him on his engagement. But on the other hand, she couldn't forget the eerie vibe she had been getting from him lately. Could she really congratulate him?

🎬Metro's renewal has been completed successfully. Stations have been added and new lines established. One of them is the Galactic Railroad(the Milkey Way Train), which connects this planet to the moon.

🎬For those owls who missed the Owl Express, officials forcibly bought it. After remaking it, they put it into operation as the Galactic Railway. You can board the train by going to the spaceport.

🎬As a result, increase traffic between the moon and this planet, and cultural exchanges between moon penguins and owls began to flourish. And jazz and movies began to catch on in the bird city. This may have been one of the reasons for the success of Grooves' third film.

🎬Hatkid is a detective. She is very good at observing and making friends, but not so good at deducing. Despite this, she is a detective and has solved a variety of difficult cases.

🎬Why? Because she has a magical prop. When you fix a time lift, you get a storybook, right? She could create a time lift for a subject simply by holding that little loupe over the subject. She gets the clues to solve the case from the storybook and timerifts. But they are far more suggestive and puzzling than anything we know, forcibly produced. Some pages are blurred, others torn and torn apart.

🎬Of course, the loupe remains too useful. Secrets that a subject does not want to be known will try to escape the eyes of hat kid by tearing or burning.

🎬By the way, the Grooves' storybook is very difficult to understand. Perhaps the pages are disjointed and bound incorrectly. You have to collect several other storybooks to read them correctly. This may mean that his memory is wrong. Or it could mean that he has a secret that he wants to hide at all costs…… about his angel.

🎬Secondly, she is good at making people love her. A private investigator cannot solve a case if people do not like her, no matter how smart she is. This is because private investigators do not have strong investigative powers, so they need as many people as possible to help them with their investigations.

🎬In other words, despite the fact that she is not very good at deductive reasoning, she has been able to solve cases thanks to her immense popularity and her handy loupe.

🎬For her, the first request was very easy. It was easy to gather information from birds that knew Phantom well.

🎬Soon after she arrived in Bird City, she learned that there was an audition for the movie " Picture Perfect ". She immediately took her best picture and submitted her entry sheet for the lead role. Of course, she passed and made a spectacular debut as a superstar.

🎬This made her a celebrity among the birds and made her job easy.

🎬Why do they work on this planet instead of their home? Hatkid used to be an employee of a detective agency and Bowkid was a newspaper reporter. But both of them were dissatisfied with their bosses.

🎬One day they went on a space trip together. They love sightseeing. But an accident happens and their time pieces are scattered.

🎬They immediately went to collect the time pieces. They then collected about 10 of those pieces. At that point when electricity was restored to some extent, they could have contacted their supervisors and asked for help. But they left the company. They then became freelance and decided to tag team.

🎬Bowkid decided to write a novel based on the various cases Hatkid began solving as a detective. It was first published by a publishing house run by the mafia. As they found more time pieces and were able to send the data back home, her novels were published in her hometown as well.

🎬But they are not mystery novels for adults. Bowkid wrote them as juvenile liteature because the development of Hatkid's work was always easy to understand. The novels, which are easy to read and in which a pretty girl converts a cunning villain with brilliant deductions, became popular. The popularity meant that it became necessary to develop her stories into a series.

🎬Of course, in writing the novel, Bowkid adapts things quite a bit. Naturally, she only writes about very successful cases. In her novels, Hatkid is a huge star. She boldly confronts any evil and is always on the side of the weak. Her little readers only know the sparkling HatKid. When she meets them, HatKid does not want to disappoint them. Step by step, the real Hatkid began to play the Hatkid of her novels.

🎬She became better and better at acting. She even began to play the charisma of a real star. Perhaps that is one of the reasons she was able to play the lead role in Picture Perfect.

🎬Bowkid has regret it. Hatkid still doesn't play in front of Bowkid and shows her the real her, but maybe one day she won't. Besides, she can't write her own creation now that Hatkid's novels have become so popular. For both of their sakes they should break up the tag team and end her series. ...But will readers and publishers allow that?

Ebb and Flow Chap. 18-Lore of Subcon and Sapphire

Next chapter is up! We’ll be getting into more lore of the mermaids! Honestly I love introducing and explaining lore in my fanfics.

Thanks to @gigilefache for being my beta reader!!

Enjoy

~~~~~~~

Lucas and Willow sat in the flower shop. It was a very slow day due to the rain storm that pounded on the store's window glass. Vanessa, Brooke, and Hali had been out for the day and it worried the both of them that they girls would be stranded until the rain stopped or worse they'd walk outside and get caught in their mermaid forms.

Feeling worried, Lucas went to the phone and dialed Vanessa’s number. The phone rang and he hoped, no, prayed she’d pick up a worry set in his chest. “Come on. Come on.” He whispered. Soon, the phone reached the voicemail and Lucas sighed, he wasn’t getting a hold of her. It wasn’t long after till he heard a beep from Willow’s phone, Vanessa texted her best friend.

“She said, Hali and Brooke are reading to the Kindergartners so her phone is silent so as not to interrupt the story time.” Willow explained.

Lucas sighed and smiled as he watched the rain come down. “I’m glad Hali’s adjusting to the human world. She’s in school, making friends, and now she has a job.” He explained, chuckling.

Willow smiled as she went over to her and put her hand on his shoulder. “Not only that, but she’s got an amazing older brother that’s keeping her in line,” she added. Lucas chuckled as the two watched the rain trickle, waiting on Vanessa and the girls to come home.

At the Lapis Bookstore, Vanessa sat with the parents as she watched Hali and Brooke tell the kids about fairy tales that came from the Sapphire Kingdom. Vanessa wasn’t worried about Hali and Brooke telling these stories as they were fairy tales and not true stories from the kingdom.

“And so the young catfish escaped with all of the crystal corals from the evil sea witch, and was able to bring light to the kingdom, defeating the sea witch for good.” Hali read.

“Because of her bravery and strength, the prince made the catfish the head of the guards and protector of the seas. The End!” Brooke finished.

The Kindergartners cheered as Hali and Brooke smiled and bowed. “Great story!” A little girl cheered.

“Can you read us another one?” A slightly taller little boy asked.

“Please can you read us one more?” A pair of identical twins pleaded.

The owner of the bookstore chuckled and strolled over to the kids. “Sorry children, but story time is over.”

“Aww...” The kids sighed.

“Don’t worry. We’ll be back for next week’s story time!” Hali promised. The kids cheered and ran over to their parents. The kids told their parents about the stories they read as well as saying goodbye to Hali and Brooke, some gave the girls hugs as a thank you. Vanessa stood up and smiled walking over to the girls.

The owner saw Vanessa and went over to shake her hand. “Thank you so much Miss. Greengrove. I didn’t know your family friends were such good storytellers. If it weren’t for them, the kids would’ve been disappointed that their weekly story time was canceled.”

“It’s no problem.” Vanessa replied.

“Well if you three need anything let me know. Also if there’s something here you want to buy, it's on me.” The owner told them.

“Thank you!” Hali and Brooke beamed. The owner smiled and walked back to her counter to help a few customers.

Vanessa sighed as she looked out the window to see the rain pouring down. “Well, you girls want to find some books to take back home? We can stay here till the rain dies down.”

“Okay!” Hali beamed. The two went to look for books and Vanessa did the same. She strolled over to the romance section of the bookstore to look for a good story to read on her own time. From the shelves, she found two that caught her eye. As she skimmed through, she saw two workers run in, drenched from the rain.

“Sorry we’re late.” The worker told the owner.

Vanessa sighed knowing they might be stuck here longer than usual. “You okay Vanessa?” Hali asked.

Vanessa looked down. “Yeah, just looking at the rain.” She replied. Hali looked out the window to see the rain coming down hard.

“You know this storm reminds me of how my dad would create storms when angry.” Hali explained.

Vanessa looked at the rain once more before asking Hali, “what made your dad mad that caused him to do this?”

Hali shrugged. “Could be anything; humans hunting animals, human pollution, boats staying in one place over the kingdom. Sometimes it could even be something in the kingdom itself that got him angry.” She explained.

“And do you think this rainstorm is one of them?”

Hali nodded. “I can tell it’s his storm.”

Vanessa nodded and got a bit worried that Hali’s father was creating this nasty storm not knowing his son and daughter were up on land.

“Hey guys!” Brooke yelled, catching Vanessa and Hali’s attention. “Look at this book I found!” The two walked over to Brooke and saw that she found a book with a dull teal cover. It looked to be hidden away showing dust and age.

The words were legible, and showed the words Sapphire and Subcon together. Hali and Vanessa looked at each other as they pushed away the dust to read the title and realized that the book was about Subcon and the Sapphire Kingdom. “Brooke, where did you find this?” Hali asked.

“I was looking for more fairytales and found this in the back of the books.” Brooke explained.

Hali carefully opened the book and her eyes widened. She read through the story and let out a chuckle. “I remember this story. My grandfather told me this a long time ago.” She explained.

“What’s it about?” Vanessa asked.

“It’s how humans and merfolk were once friends.” Hali said.

Vanessa looked in shock, “I remember that tale, but everyone says it’s just a myth. A fantasy…” She explained.

Hali shook her head. “It’s not.” She turned the page showing the early settlers in Subcon meeting the merfolk. “300 years ago merfolk used to live on the beaches of Subcon. We lived peaceful lives till the humans showed up and we stayed in the bottom of the ocean for a while.” Hali turned the next page. “While at first we didn’t trust humans, a few of the settlers and our king and queen at the time had their first meeting and they made peace.”

“The peace treaty was that as long as we didn’t stay long in the far out ocean or fish for anything we were on good terms.” Vanessa added. “After that, merfolk and humans got along and we respected our differences.”

Hali smiled, but frowned as she turned the page. “However, some humans didn’t like to form bonds with mermaids and broke that promise and started to hunt in the areas, stealing treasures and kidnapping mermaids.” She explained.

“That’s when the Hurricane War started. Soon kingdoms far and wide either sided with humans or mermaids in the eye of the hurricane.” Vanessa continued.

“The war ended with no winner. There was so much death including the death of the king, and all the homes on land were destroyed. With that the peace treaty was destroyed, humans left mermaids alone and we stayed hidden from humans.” Hali finished as she closed the book.

The trio went quiet as they stared at the book. Vanessa sighed and tried to put her arms around Hali, but she hesitated touching her after the two read a serious story. “I…I know I wasn’t there, but I’m sorry for what we’ve done to your kingdom and I understand why your dad does all this.” Vanessa said. “But after knowing you and why you and your brother are here, what do you think of the human world?”

Hali was quiet as she gave a small smile. “Honestly, things have changed since 300 years ago. Many humans forgot about us, but everyone is so nice and kind.” She explained. Hali frowned, “but that’s before knowing that I’m a mermaid.”

“But what about the people that do know? Like Mu and Timmy for instance.” Vanessa asked.

“Well… they're still friends with me.” Hali answered.

Vanessa smiled. “See, there’s people that will still care about you. Those who understand you will stay with you forever.” She explained.

Hali smiled and looked at the book once more before holding it close. “I think I know what book I want.”

Vanessa smiled and turned to see the rain started to calm down. “Looks like the storm is lighting up. Wanna start heading home?” She asked. Hali and Brooke nodded. The three bought their books and left the store.

The trio opened their umbrellas and carefully started to walk home. It didn’t take long for Brooke to trip and splash into a puddle. Vanessa and Hali turned around and saw Brooke now in her mermaid form.

“Ooops.” Brooke said.

Hali held her best friend on her back using her jacket as a towel to prevent her from turning into a mermaid too and they kept walking.

Once they were far away, Monroe appeared from the bushes with a camera and smirked, getting the proof they needed. Monroe pulled out his cellphone and called his boss. “Empress! I think I got the evidence you need.”
