"Big Brother, what are you making?" Leon asked. The two stared at Keith for some time. But because they were short, they couldn't see what he was doing.
Keith smiled, "Something the both of you would like,"
"Hmm?" The two children tilted their heads. Fira flew to them, "Keith is going to make those yucky brussels sprouts delicious!"
Laura still pouted while Leon blinked his eyes. But it didn't take long for the brussels sprouts to be done baking. Keith took out the tray from the oven.
Leon and Laura tried to look, but they couldn't. Keith laughed, "Here," Keith picked the two up to let them see the food.
"Boss, it's brown," Gus stated. They noticed the brussels sprouts didn't have a green color. But they had a brown color on the top.
"That's because it was carmalized," Keith explained. Keith smiled as he handed some sprouts to the two children, "Try it, it will be delicious,"
"Really?" "Promise?"
"Of course!" Hearing Keith's answer, the two took a bite. And when they did,
"Delicious!" "Mmhmm!" The two children's eyes sparkled as they ate it.
They liked the taste. Keith smiled. Gus also tried a piece as well.
"It doesn't taste all this bitter," He was surprised. Keith smiled,
"That's because I added some rapple oil to it," Unlike regular oil, this one gave the food a sweetness. That was why Keith used it on the brussels sprouts. It was a way to give it a sweet taste and caramelize the sprouts.
"Alright. I think it's time we should head back," Keith picked up the two and had the plate of brussels sprouts in his hand as he returned to the dining room,
"Sorry about the wait," Keith smiled.
"What have you prepared for us?" William questioned.
"I prepared some roasted brussels sprouts," Keith replied as he placed the plate down,
"Big Brother, I want to eat,"
"Sure," Keith chuckled, and he placed some sprouts onto her plate. Like that, the girl started to eat like no tomorrow. That shocked Sophia.
"Keith, what did you put in those sprouts?" What kind of sorcery did Keith do to make it tastier?
"Ah, I added some rapple oil to the sprouts to make it tastier," Keith chuckled,
"Now, let's eat." With Laura eating the vegetables, everything was perfect.
...
Keith had woken up. He did his morning stretches. And it was time to go train. Keith headed to the barracks. There, he saw Michael swinging his sword.
"Hard at work. This is a surprise," Keith chuckled as he watched Michael. But Michael stared at him,
"Enough talk, Kid. Let's spar,"
"Sure!" Keith didn't mind as he raised his sword in the air. Like that, the two of them found. Keith waved his sword at Michael. But Michael swung it down to attack him as well.
"Hmm?" Michael continued to swing his blade at Keith!
Keith was on the defensive as he blocked all of it. But it was over as Keith got pushed back by the force.
"Kid, did you get weaker?" Michael frowned. He found it odd. Keith was much weaker than the last time he fought with him.
"That's because I'm wearing these," Keith stated as he showed him the bracelets.
"Huh? What are those?" Michael questioned.
"Wear it, and you will understand," Keith handed one of the bracelets to him. Michael wore the bracelet, and he understood,
"This is a good method to train,"
"Mmhmm, I'm going to be wearing this for a while," He got used to walking. But fighting was out of the question. He wasn't at his full power,
"So you want me to help you train?"
"Mmhmm, I need to get used to it when I fight,"
"Alright, let's get to work," Keith nodded. Like that, he sparred with Michael some more.
