Like a magnet, Lux Osiris' new style hypnotized the people who were purposely waiting for the result of Sera's haircut. Lux came out like a prince from a fairy tale world. Sera herself couldn't believe that her work was so amazing. Lux looked so different. More handsome and dashing than usual.
"I hate to say this. However, you're right. Your long hair covered up your charisma all this time. What made you change, Young master Lux?" asked Sera, whose attitude was considered the most courageous than all the people Gian met today.
"Depression," Lux replied calmly, but made Sera frown. "I... don't have to pay the bill for a haircut at this salon, do I?"
Sera smiled sarcastically. "You should give me a bonus."
"Hem... dinner? You decide the place."
Sera was awkward at once. "Is... this some kind of date?" she asked with certainty.
"If you think so, that's fine," Lux replied calmly, but it made Sera feel like she had a panic attack.
Gian smiled seeing Sera misbehave. As he was about to exit the glass-walled room to greet his fans, Gian realized something.
"Sera. Why... are there no pictures of actress or actors on the walls of our salon? I think, our salon is quite famous seeing the number of customers who have treatments in this place," Lux asked in surprise.
"What do you mean?"
"Yes, photos. Posters with human faces, male or female. What I saw, almost all the way here, were no pictures of humans advertising a product, or promoting a movie and the like. It's all text or pictures of the product itself. Very boring," he replied firmly which made Sera give him a sharp look.
"Morin! Tedo! Rowi! Get in here!" Sera shouted, startling Gian. The woman's voice was so shrill that he closed his eyes.
Gian, who felt that there would be a serious talk, went back inside with the people Sera mentioned earlier. Now, Lux was stared at sharply after Sera repeated Lux's words earlier when they had sat in a circular formation.
"What was wrong with my question earlier?" asked Lux in surprise.
"We never did that, Young master Lux," answered a man named Morin, as the deputy manager of the salon.
"Never? Using human models to advertise a product, never? What about movies?" asked Lux in astonishment.
"We have movies," replied Tedo who was trusted by Sera to tag along since he was the butler at Osiris' residence.
"Ah, that's good. That's quite a relief," Lux replied as he let out a long breath.
"Why are you suddenly asking something like that?" asked Sera suspiciously.
Lux was stared at sharply. He felt himself cornered. Slowly, Gian began to realize, if there are many differences between Earth and Luna, especially the lifestyle of these people. Gian thought for a moment, not wanting to be rash in his actions. Until he thought of something.
"Here's the thing. Am I handsome?" Rowi and the others nodded in agreement. "Am I famous?" Again, they nodded in affirmation. "Why not use me to promote our salon? Put a picture of me with my new hairstyle at the crossroads. I think we have a lot of beautiful women and handsome men out there. Take advantage of their beauty. That would be great and could increase the sales!" Lux said excitedly.
"Mm, I don't know, Young master. No one has ever done that," Morin replied doubtfully.
Lux immediately stood up proudly. Everyone's heads snapped up as the purple-haired man in front of them looked so tall.
"Therefore, we will be the pioneers! What we do will be copied by everyone! Something new will definitely attract attention. The living proof is me! Look at that crowd! They are attracted to me not because of my long hair anymore, but because of my new hairstyle!" Lux said excitedly.
Sera and the others looked over to prove Lux's words. Apparently, what he said was true. The salon became crowded instantly filled with people who were curious about Lux's new hairstyle. Morin stared at Sera intently waiting for her decision.
"We have to discuss this first with the great lord. After all, all matters related to licensing go through him," Sera said quietly.
"The great lord? Who?" asked Lux in surprise.
"Your father, Sir. Maximo Osiris," Rowi replied which made Lux's chest feel tight instantly.
Gian immediately sat down with a gasp. His eyes closed instantly when Lux's memory surfaced about his father. Gian could see clearly, Lux's memories with Osiris.
"Young master! Young master!"
"Hah!" surprised Lux when suddenly, he was surrounded by many people.
Rowi immediately wiped his face with a towel. People seemed to panic as they looked at him.
[Lux's memory is affecting you quite a bit, Gian. Let me tell you one secret. Lux was not ready to die when death came. He doubted his decision to end his life. However, it was too late. Therefore, his memories with the people who had been living by his side, became a very strong memory. You have to be able to control that, or else you will fall into and be trapped with Lux Osiris' former identity]
Gian sat down slowly trying to calm his heart. Tedo gave him some drinking water to calm his young master down. Everyone looked panicked as Lux was sweating profusely like a person having a nightmare.
"Are you alright? I'll call Doctor Bone," Rowi asked anxiously.
However, Lux shook his head quickly. "I'm just a little tired. Probably from being too excited to realize ideas like today."
"Yes. Your change due to depression is quite shocking. Perhaps, you are not physically and mentally ready for it. Go home. The salon will be closing soon too," Sera said listlessly.
"You're kicking me out?"
"I'm not kicking you out! What I'm saying is a form of concern! How insensitive!" Sera screeched in annoyance.
Morin and the others stifled laughter. This was the first time, their young master made a Sera who was known to be fierce and ignorant to confess her feelings. Gian finally left the room, but took the time to meet Lux's fans.
"Hey, it's getting late. You guys take a break," Lux said as he approached a group of young women who were still eagerly waiting for him, even though it had been more than 3 hours.
"Lux! Lux! You were talking about autographs. What does that mean?" asked a fan who insisted on getting closer, even though the guard had forbidden it.
Gian paused for a moment. "I'm going to have a fan meet. I'm inviting everyone in the city to sit down with me and do a lot of fun things somewhere. When exactly it will be held, you guys just wait for the news. Good night," Lux replied as he left an impression with his signature 'OK' style.
Of course, Lux's behavior made the women who had only been admiring him because of his good looks and wealth because he was from a noble family, even more crazy. The news that Lux changed his appearance and was going to hold a fan meeting, which had never happened in Luna's world, spread like a virus quickly. Especially, to the ears of Maximo Osiris.
"Ask that child to face me," ordered Maximo who was the ruler of the Imperium city like a mayor.
"Yes, Great lord," replied Marbella with a downcast look and then stepped away.
