Volume 7 Chapter 3: Waking The Princess Up
The next day, Keith woke up early. While he stretched his hand into the air, he patted the little spirit sleeping on his pillow. Need to pick up tomatoes, carrots, and onions today. As he went to the backyard, there was already a person there.
"Good morning, Udine." In front of him was a beautiful woman with aquamarine hair. Despite having a drowsy look, it didn't affect her pristine beauty. Actually, it made her more ethereal.
"How's the seed doing?" Keith asked, his eyes fixed on the seed surrounded by water. Even after all this time, the seed hadn't changed at all. There was still a tiny sprout on top of the seed, a sign of life that filled him with hope and anticipation.
"I can tell that seed is almost ready to grow." Udine's role on the island was to take care of the seed. The seed was something he had obtained from the S-rank dungeon. And it required a lot of water! From what Diana said, it would take quite some time before the tree was able to bore any fruits.
"That's great." Keith smiled, "I'm going to pick up some vegetables now." He turned over to the other side, where the vegetables were growing.
Udine asked, "What are you planning to make today?"
"I'm thinking about whipping up some omelets stuffed with smoked ham, bell peppers, and onions. There's going to be toast and potatoes on the side. Do you have anything you want to eat?"
"I want ham!" While the human and spirit talked, someone called out. From the side was another beautiful woman. It seemed she had been waiting for this moment.
"Understood! I will have some smoked ham on the side." Keith grinned, "Do you guys have anything else?"
"I would like to have some condensed milk." Udine had a sweet tooth.
"Understood. I will have a jar ready." Keith nodded as he headed into the kitchen and got to work. Today's menu was a simple meal. Dicing the ham, onions, and bell peppers, he placed them into the pan to cook.
Good. Keith watched the omelet slowly cook. When he saw it was ready, he flipped it over. A perfectly shaped omelet. Now I have to do it 20 more times! Keith chuckled. Herrick and Melor were able to eat five by themselves, and Cadmus could eat around 8.
"Keith, are you alright doing all of this?" From the window came Diana, the great spirit of nature.
"I'm fine. I can do this easily." Keith continued to make omelets left and right.
"...Understood. But be careful."
"I know. Don't worry about it." Keith continued to work left and right. After some time,
"Woah! How could you stack it like that?" Gabriel entered the kitchen to see the giant yellow tower.
"I didn't know either." Keith laughed, "I just kept chucking, and it formed a giant tower."
"I'm so going to enjoy this!" Herrick wiped his drool. He was prepared to clear all of it in one go.
"Help me move it to the table first before you eat." "On it!" Herrick quickly grabbed the plate.
"Not like that, Herrick!" Arlo quickly helped him balance. That tower of omelets was going to drop!
"Phew! Thanks, Arlo." "We need to move slowly." Arlo and Herrick moved like a couple of newborn fawns. Keith could only shake his head as he prepared the other things.
"Let me get those." Gabriel grabbed the bread and fillings.
"Thanks." The group brought everything to the dining room. Everyone slowly arrived. While Keith made breakfast, everyone knew when to gather.
"Where's Scarlet?"
"Scarlet is still sleeping." Alfia grabbed her head. It seemed she had tried to wake her up.
"But we have classes." Today was a school day.
"Who cares! More for us!"
"Yeah!"
Cadmus and the food lovers grinned as they tilted back and forth. That meant one less person here.
"..." Keith shook his head. This was especially so for Cadmus. You're the principal! You should be promoting!
"Give me a second, I will call her down." Keith sighed as he walked to the room. Knocking on the door,
"Mmmm." A groan came from the other side.
"Scarlet, it's time to wake up. Come down and have breakfast."
"Ngh." Scarlet continued to groan, which caused Keith to enter the room. And when he did, he saw the girl still snuggling into the bed. He nudged the girl's shoulders, "Come on, you need to wake up. You're going to go hungry."
"Mgn." Scarlet turned around, and her eyes locked onto Keith.
"Can't I sleep some more?"
"No. Or you will be late." Keith shook his head as he turned around to leave. When that happened, she quickly made her move; she jumped and hugged the man!
"I'm still tired."
"Mmhmm. Come and get dressed." This girl was still in her pajamas.
"Okay." Scarlet took a deep yawn as she got up and raised her hand,
"What?" "Help me get dressed."
"Huh? You need help to get dressed?"
"Yes, I had maids who did that."
"..." Keith had no words as he sighed, "Get changed yourself, I will wait outside."
Scarlet pouted, "You're no fun."
"I am not." Keith quickly left the room. It didn't take long for Scarlet to come out.
