Volume 2 Chapter 7: You Took My Fruits!
Keith took out some vegetable soup from his storage. They were going to have a light meal. He had prepared the soup in advance. The only thing he had to do was to heat it up, and it was good to go! He poured it into the pot.
Keith created a fire in front of him. While he waited for the soup to boil, he patted Mir's head. There was nothing to do but wait.
"It's so warm here too." The cold wasn't affecting him as well. It was as if it was summer in this section. Keith even took off his jacket because of how warm it was.
While Keith continued to play with the baby, Aria flew around. But that lasted a few seconds before Keith called her down.
"Let's eat!" Keith didn't put meat into the soup. He found that Samui didn't like meat. They prefer vegetables instead. And now fruits.
That was why he grilled meat as a separate dish. The three ate happily. But while they were doing this,
"What are you guys eating?" Someone screamed out! Keith instantly spat out his soup and turned his head around. Human? People were living in this place?! But when Keith looked around, he noticed there wasn't anyone around.
"Is my mind messing with me? Did I hear a phantom?" Keith questioned whether or not his mind was fine. But he turned to Mir and Aria, who looked surprised too. It seemed he didn't hear wrong.
"How could you call me a phantom! I'm right here! Look down!" The voice screamed out again. This time, a little peeved. Keith looked down to see it. There was a tiny person who was flying below him.
"Woah!" Keith was surprised even more! That caused the person to tilt her head, "Why are you screaming?"
Keith coughed as his face turned red, "Sorry about that. It's surprising as this is my first time seeing someone like you."
"Really?" The person questioned.
"Mmhmm. Ahh, I should introduce myself. My name is Keith. I'm the fourth son of Marquis Freed."
"My name is Fira!" Fira placed her hand on her waist with a proud smile. Keith smiled back. Cute.
"So, what are you guys eating right now?" Fira was more interested in the food in Keith's hand.
"This is vegetable soup. Do you want to try it?" Keith questioned.
"Sure!" Fira shouted.
Keith nodded as he scooped some soup. But he realized a situation, "I don't have a small enough bowl for you." He only had regular-size items for a human. But compared to Fira, it seemed super-sized!
"Hmm. How about you scoop some up into that!" Fira pointed at the spoon. It was larger than a bowl she would use. But it should be enough.
"That's a good idea." Keith scooped the soup with the spoon. He placed it down on the log. Fira's eyes sparkled as she took a sip. A smile formed on her face, "So good! How did you make this!"
"Thank you. I used vegetable scraps to make the stock. Then I added other vegetables into it and simmered it." Keith explained the process. But it seemed Fira didn't understand what he said.
"Po!" "Hoho!" While Keith talked to Fira, Mir and Aria screamed out beside him! The two were asking him for something!
"I know. You guys want this, right?" Keith handed two apples over to him. But when he did that, Fira shouted, "Ahh! I almost forgot! You guys took my fruits!"
Keith blinked a few times, "Were you the one who planted the trees?"
"Of course I did!" Fira let out a huff.
"Goddess!" Keith didn't even wait as he bowed down!
