Volume 13 Chapter 1: Morning After Their Victory
Keith stretched his hand over his head; sounds of nibbling were coming from on top of his head. This was not the only sound.
Squish. There was a wet feeling coming from his neck. His eyes slowly opened, and he glanced over to see the furball, Lei. He was nibbling his collar as he slept beside his head.
Too adorable! The little baby was probably thinking about munching on some fried milk! Keith was going to cry from this, but he quickly covered his mouth while he stroked the baby's head. As he did, that was when another baby rolled down his face.
It was none other than the residential snowball himself.
"...You guys have such strange sleeping habits." Keith chuckled as he stroked their fur. They were too adorable and fluffy. Savoring this feeling, another one showed up. It was none other than the residential spirit, Fira.
"Cookies."
"..." These three. No need to think about what they were dreaming about. The cookie paradise was powerful.
He slowly got up and let them dream. It was time for him to head to the kitchen and prepare breakfast. There was another person there as he washed his hands.
“Thank you for all your help as always, Diana.”
“Mmhmm, what do you need me to do?” Diana smiled.
“Then can you get to work with smoking the bacon?” Keith smiled as he got to work on the others, “Today, another buffet style.” The festival ended only yesterday. Despite this, he still needed to cook a meal for 20 people. A massive slab of meat was placed on the table.
"Understood." Diana chuckled as she took the meat out to the smoker. While Keith continued to prepare,
“Big brother.” Leon, Laura, and Long Hao entered the kitchen while rubbing their eyes. Those three were still in their pajamas as they entered.
Keith softened, "Did I wake you up?"
"Mmhmm." They heard the sounds of chopping from the kitchen.
"How about you guys go to sleep some more. I'll be more quiet."
“With big brother.” The three grappled his legs like a bunch of koalas. Clearly, they didn't want to leave his side.
“How about you help me make breakfast for today? Do you guys want some mini chocolate pancakes?”
“Pancakes!” “Chocolate!” Pancakes were already sweet. Adding chocolate to the mix made it even sweeter. Keith chuckled, “Let me do it.” Preparing the batter, he poured it into the pan. However,
“Kitty!” Keith had made a chocolate pancake shaped like a kitten.
“Do you guys want an animal?” Keith smiled.
“We want Mir!” "Lei!"
“Okay then.” Keith chuckled as he slowly made it into the shape of the animal they wanted. Once he was finished, the three children snacked on the food. It was overtime for Keith as he needed to cook as fast as possible. That was when May arrived,
“Young master, I will bring it to the dining room. Follow me, you three." The three kids nibbled the pancakes as they followed. Chipmunks. That was the only thing the two thought as the three chipmunks followed the maid.
“Thank you as always.” May brought the three and the other food to the dining room. Having May here made it smoother. And they were not the only ones awake.
“Lady Lilith, good morning.”
“Mmhmm,” It was a surprise to see Lilith here. She glanced down, “What are you making right now, Child?”
“Some baked bread. It goes well with condensed milk and fruit.” Keith smiled as he placed the bread into the oven. He was not finished as he worked on the other things. Lilith didn’t say anything as she watched him.
“Child, I just want to say be good to my granddaughter.”
“Eh?”
“I think you’ve noticed that my granddaughter has faced some hardship throughout her life.”
“...” This is true. He had heard everything about Scarlet. She had gone through some events that the others would probably never go through.
“But I’ve seen her smile a lot here. So please treat her well.” Lilith smiled. This was the warmness of a grandmother for her granddaughter.
“You don’t need to worry about anything, I will take care of Scarlet.” Keith smiled, “After all, she’s someone living on the island with me.”
“...She’s right, you’re silly as well.”
“Eh?”
“Nothing. But what’s that smell?” As she conversed with Keith, she noticed this tantalizing aroma. It was strong and alluring; her nose couldn’t help but flare up.
“Ahh! That’s the bacon! It should be done smoking!” Keith quickly headed out and brought the bacon back into the kitchen. The beautiful slab of meat was placed on the table.
“Incredible!” Lilith couldn’t help but marvel at the beauty placed before her. Never had she seen such a beautiful piece of meat; the aroma was so rich and full. Keith smiled, “It’s going to be our breakfast.” Keith slowly cut the bacon into thin cuts. That big slab was turned into a bunch of small cuts.
“Lady Lilith, do you want a piece?”
“Is it fine?”
“It’s fine.” Keith grinned mischievously, “No one would know.”
“Then thank you.” She found the boy quite mischievous as she took a bite, “My, it’s quite flavorful and delicious!” Each piece was full of juice; the outside had a fantastic texture.
“Right?” Keith smiled.
While he did,
“Keith, what is that smell?!” Derek came, and he was not alone. A bunch of people came, and the bacon smell slowly engulfed the floor. Keith smiled, “Breakfast is ready. Can someone call Herrick and the others outside?”
What do you think?
