I am the Entertainment Tycoon - Chapter 536: Hitarashi Itsuki: The End of the Journey

The public that was just trying to recover from the impact of Kate’s death in the anime was hit by another impact..

Hitarashi Itsuki.

She meant a lot of things to people from the Sakura Abode Country.

Most of the citizens in the country grew up watching her animations in the cinema or TV.

Even the old ones still recorded their youth years when they used to watch her magical movies in the cinema.

For decades, Hitarashi was a superstar nationwide and worldwide.

For them, Hitarashi was so legendary that they couldn’t conceive the thought of something so mundane as aging affecting her.

How could age be able to affect someone who could create magical realities so easily?

But as they read her message, they finally were able to understand why she produced this specific anime. And why she created Kate from all people.

From all the magical stories that Hitarashi created in the last century, she chose to portray herself in her last tale.

She wanted to show them how much she loved what she did for a living.

She wanted to tell the world that even the age got the best of her, she didn’t regret a single moment of her life.

Even death wouldn’t take away her smile as she looked at the animations she had produced.

The public couldn’t understand how her journey could end.

For them, Hitarashi was one of those people who would never age.

That’s why they struggled to accept the end of her journey.

They couldn’t conceive the idea of a world without a new Hitarashi animation waiting for them.

After all, it was through her animations that most of them could remember important moments in their lives.

Everyone had at least one special memory that involved one of Hitarashi’s animations.

Their first time at the cinema, their first date with their loved ones, their last time with their loved ones, and many other impactful moments.

The channel started exhibiting their next show, but the public started to go back to their own houses crying silently.

At that moment, they felt like they lost a close friend and their idol.

Kate and Hitarashi.

One fictional character was so impactful that made a whole country mourn her death. One real person was so impactful that she was able to affect the lives of the entire world with her creations, but after almost a century of work, her journey had come to an end.

The two of them made the Sakura Abode Country mourn for losing them.

The children went to bed crying, teenagers cried silently in their rooms, adults drowned themselves in alcohol to forget their painful hearts, and the old ones just silently observed the starry night sky as they contemplated the unmerciful time.

The people most impacted by Hitarashi’s announcement maybe were the people from the Elvish Studios.

Hitarashi created this studio when she was only a teenager, she grew up with this studio. She managed this studio for so long that the studio’s employees couldn’t conceive the idea of not seeing their boss when they came to work.

The studio was already a giant among giants, as it received enormous success no matter what it produced.

But even after all this process, no one got too greedy. That’s because they knew that without Hitarashi, the studio would be nothing. So, every director and manager in the studio idolized Hitarashi.

Their cry was even louder than the others.

The friends and family that helped Hitarashi take care of the studio all tried to contact her, but it seemed like she had disappeared from the world.

When everyone flocked to Hitarashi’s house, they all were greeted by Manor’s butler. He informed them that his boss left for a long trip and she wouldn’t come back soon.

That day, Hitarashi quietly left her house in Sakura City to tour the world. For her whole life, she had been so obsessed with animation that she wasn’t even able to see the wonders of the world she lived in.

She didn’t worry about the studio because she knew that the people she left in charge were more than apt to honor her legacy.

She was certain that they would get over her departure and make the Elvish Studios even grander.

She lived the life she wanted, but her animation journey had come to an end. From that moment on, she would embark on another journey.

She would be free and happy as she lived her last days on that earth while seeing the wonders of the world.

From that day fourth, June 5th became a day that every Sakurean would remember.

A year later, the government stated June 5th as a national holiday. From that year forth, June 5th would be celebrated as the ‘Rain of Tears’ Day. .

No explanation about the holiday was given, but everyone knew why the government did it.

They wanted to register and remember the day that the last piece of animation from the legendary Animation Mother was aired for the country.

They wanted to register the day that they said goodbye to the most beloved fictional character the world had ever seen.

Just

‘The Last Tale’ Anime became a huge success worldwide as well when it was aired in other countries.

The anime became the most famous and popular anime until that time.

It became a legend that was popular no matter how much time passed.

5 years after Hitarashi’s departure, a hunchback old lady slowly exited a private airplane.

She had a light healthy tan on her aged skin, and her face always had a smiling expression. It seemed like she always had something to smile no matter what happened.

Hitarashi silently and quietly came back to Sakura City after 5-years long travel around the world.

She quenched her thirst for adventure in these five years.

She was able to see so many wonders that she thought only happened in fairy tales.

She lived and enjoyed every moment of her journey.

But she knew that after traveling for 5 long years, she had to come back to her home.

She wanted to live the last moments of her life with her family.

That was how Hitarashi lived the last years of her life.

Surrounded by daughters, sons, grandsons, and granddaughters.

Hitarashi only had one husband that died 30 years ago, she only had one daughter with him. But the others were kids that the two of them adopted over the years.

They always desired a big family, so they adopted as many kids as they could. And Hitarashi and her husband loved every single one of them.

Just like she expected, the Elvish Studios was well taken care of in her absence.

Nodding in approval with their work, Hitarashi transferred all of her power in the company to her daughter, the successor she chose to head the studio.

Hitarashi’s only condition was that the studio had to build a park where she could have fun with her grandchildren.

Hitarashi Rina, the new studio head, went above her request.

She chose to build the most awesome and brilliant amusement park in the entire world!

When the rest of the company managers heard that this was the last request from Itsuki, they approve to invest of an enormous amount of money.

That was how the Elven World was created.

The biggest amusement park in the world!

A park was built only for Hitarashi to have fun with her grandchildren on her last days with them.

5 years after the Elven World was built, Hitarashi Itsuki draw her last breath with a smile on her lips.

She was surrounded by her family when she left.

At that moment, the family felt like the ray of sunlight that blessed them for their whole lives had been extinguished.

The legendary Hitarashi Itsuki had reached the end of her legendary journey.
