A God Killed Me By Accident, But I Reincarnated As The 4th Son Of The Marquis

Volume 13 Chapter 26: Roasted Lily Potatoes

"Boss, what's that on the back of your cart?" As Keith came with his cart, there was something different. A giant vat was stuck on the back. It was noticeable since it was about a third of the cart's size.

"I'll explain later." Keith smiled as he set up his cart. That was when he shouted, "Today, I'm selling roasted lily potatoes for one silver coin!"

"Lily potatoes?"

"What's that?"

"You mean those slippery things? You're cooking that?" Galven knew about them. Being a high-rank adventurer, he went to the dungeon before. His entire party had dark expressions. Keith and Galven shared a look before nodding. Those things gave them trouble as well.

"Please be advised that this is a seasonal product; you won't be able to order it after some time!" Keith shouted as he prepared the grill. His words caused the customer's ear to perk up.

"Seasonal?"  

"Limited time!"

"Then we'll have to get some!" The customers slowly swarmed Sarah and Leona. Everyone was quite eager to find out what kind of food was the lily potatoes to make Keith want to sell them for only a limited time! The potatoes were roasted inside the vat, and Keith used a tong to get them out. The once beautiful pearl white potato was charred with roasted bits on the skin.

"Is it supposed to be like this?" Kaiser questioned. He was fine with some charr. But this one took the cake.

"Please peel the skin off. The flesh is what you should be eating." The customers nodded as they started peeling. That was when they saw a beautiful pink flesh inside. The sweet fragrance tickled their nose, almost begging them to eat.

Why shouldn't they oblige themselves? They took a big chunk out of the potato! Sweet and tender.

“This is the perfect item on a cold day like this!”

“And it’s so sweet and filling!”

“It’s filling my stomach up!”

Kaiser and the others were absorbed into the lily potatoes. Keith watched with a calm appearance. The aroma of these potatoes was quite enticing.

While his menu items consisted of heavy and rich flavors, the mellow and sweet contradict it. It dragged the customers close, forcing them to eat them with their fragrant scent.  

The cooked ones were taken from the vat and placed on a rack to cool off. One interesting aspect he found with this potato was it contained the heat inside. The outer layer was like a shield that protected it from getting burnt. As he continued to cook, a little blur came and snatched one off of there! And she was going to escape.

However, who was there?

“Stealing is not good, you know?” Titus instantly caught the blur by the scuff of the neck. All customers paused what they were doing once they heard the word stealing!

“Who in the right mind would steal!”

"Who is it?!" 

Groa rolled up his sleeves, “What? Steal our food, how dare he!” But the figure quickly squirmed around in Titus’s hand; slowly, they realized it was a child. Her fox ears wiggled around as she tried to escape Titus's grasp.

But who was Titus? The S-rank adventurer was unfazed by her scratches. 

“What do you think we should do with this child?!” Child or not, she needed to be punished. 

Bonk!

"Cool it," Keith shook his head as he turned to the child for a few seconds before returning to the rack and taking a giant lily potato off. He handed it to the child, “Here, this one isn’t on the floor.” 

Understanding his intentions, Titus gently placed the child down. The child glanced at Keith and then at the potato. Swipe! With the potato in her hand, she quickly rushed away without daring to look back. 

“Boss! Are you really going to let that child go away?!” They were taken aback by his actions.

Keith shrugged, “It’s a child.” 

“But stealing-“

“Doesn't matter that much. And tone down on the killing intent, guys; no need to go crazy over a potato.” Keith picked up the dirty sweet potato. He peeled it and ate it casually.    

“Keith?!” Sarah blinked. 

“What? It was only the skin touching the floor. Not going to kill me!” 

“Dammit! You should have given it to me!” Cedric shook Keith back and forth.

“Nope.” That would not happen; he finished it in two bites and returned to cooking. That only caused the others to look at him weirdly. Should we have stolen it?

While Keith continued to cook, 

The little fox quickly hid behind a few garbage cans away from the cart. She stared at the giant potato the stranger handed her. It was about twice the size of the one she tried stealing. The little one couldn’t help but gulp as she ate it ferociously. It didn't take long before the entire thing was gone.

"..." She slowly peeked from the trash cans over to the stranger who continued selling the food like nothing was wrong. And she wasn’t the only one who was staring at him as well. 

“To eat scrap on the floor, what a disgrace!”

“Indeed!”
