Volume 8 Chapter 66: Happy Birthday Carolyn Pt 2
"Keith!" Carolyn quickly walked over to him.
"Sup!"
"What's that?" The man had rolled in with a giant cart.
"Something for later. I just finished it a moment ago," Keith grinned, "Now, let's have a few words from the birthday girl."
"Umm," Carolyn scratched her head, "I'm glad that my birthday is with so many of my close friends and relatives. Let's party!" With her words, the party had started.
"Big sister!" Leon and Laura quickly tackled the girl!
"Happy birthday."
"Thank you, you two," Carolyn couldn't help but rub their heads. They were too adorable.
Leon then asked, "Umm, Big Sister Carolyn, do you know who Masked Thief is?"
"Eh?" Carolyn grinned, "Are you a fan?"
"Mmhmm! He was so cool! Like a hero!" Leon waved his hand, quite excited.
"Masked Thief was secretive; he didn't say anything."
"Aww," The two kids quickly became sour plums. However, Carolyn added, "But he did say he would protect me whenever I'm in trouble."
"Eh!"
"Tell us more!" Besides the children, Sarah and the other girls were curious now.
"Kid, they're asking for you," While they conversed, the adults surrounded Keith. With a calm and collected look, he sipped on some juice, "I don't know what you're talking about."
Julius glared, "Cut it out; we all know it was you." There was no way it could be anyone else.
"I really don't know what you're talking about. I was held up in my room with a cold."
"Stop playing coy," Cedric retorted.
"You can ask Instructor Aidiun about it." Keith waved his hand. Aidiun coughed, "Yes, he was always in his room."
"..." You were bought off, weren't you?
"..." Julius and Edmund turned to William, but the latter shook his head. Don't look at me.
Either way, Thalia smiled, "Please take care of my daughter for the rest of her life."
"My daughter as well!" Violet grinned.
"..." Keith really didn't know how to answer this. The rest of her life made him pause.
"Kid, how did you make all of this?" Cedric questioned. He was really in awe of everything that was there. Never had he seen something like this.
"Hard work and grit." Keith grinned.
"….How much for all of this?"
"Dad," Edmund's eyes turned weary. It was evident that he wanted one.
"…Kinda want one too," Thalia soon joined the conversation. Seeing all of this made it even more so. The houses for the vegetables were quite interesting.
"The flowers are a nice touch to everything." Violet stared at all the flowers around. The area was vibrant and pleasant.
Keith coughed, "Um, I don't think you can afford it."
"…Huh?" What was this kid saying? How could they not afford it? They were all dukes and above.
"…" Keith looked away. That only caused everyone to be curious. How much did he spend on all of this? But while they wondered, Cadmus nudged him. "Kid, I smell something sweet coming from under the lid."
"Oh, that's at the end. You guys will have to finish everything before you can-" Those words were enough as Cadmus shouted, "Men! Get into formation!"
"Huh?" All the students and dorm mothers had set up front in line at that moment.
"Today, I will leave it up to my second command, Carolyn! Command us on this mission!"
"Guys, come on."
"Shhhh!" Carolyn placed her finger on his lips, "You have no say in this. Men, I WANT TIGHT FORMATION; WE MUST FINISHED ALL OF THIS TO GET TO THE PRIZE!"
"You got it!"
"..." What am I watching here? Each group focused on a different section.
"We should get started as well, Dear," Thalia chuckled, but the man was already there! The others did the same as well. It was pretty something before,
"Keith, what did you prepare for us?" Carolyn and the others looked at Keith with sparkly eyes. Now that they had finished all the good food, it was time for the desserts.
"...Okay. Presenting you all a birthday cake!" When taking off the lid, what was before them was a giant birthday cake!
"It has chocolate and mango filling inside. The sponge cake is made from chocolate." As Keith explained, everyone started to salivate.
"Hold up, just one more thing."
"What?"
Keith placed a candle on top, "The birthday girl has to blow it out."
"Eh?"
"For a wish, of course."
"…" Carolyn smiled as she blew the candles out, "Now then, let's-."
"Don't the birthday girl get a kiss?" Carolyn blinked as she stared at the boy.
"Say what?!"
"Oh, my!"
"Ahh..." You weren't kidding when you said you would go all out. Her eyes were looking at him with eyes of expectancy. And behind him was a dark aura some wanted to make fun of.
Keith grinned, "Who wants to give the birthday girl a kiss?!"
"Wait!" Carolyn waved her hand before a kiss landed on her forehead, "Happy birthday."
"OOOOOH," The students jeered while the adults shook their heads.
That's all I'm doing. That was the message his eyes were saying. And that was enough for the princess as she cut the cake.
"Delicious!"
"It's so sweet!"
"Indeed."
Julius coughed, "Kid, my birthday is in a few months if you could-"
"Julius," William's eyes narrowed.
"Yeah, Edmund's birthday is close; please make one," Cedric called out.
“…” My birthday passed, Father.
"…I don't do express deliveries." Keith looked away.
"Then what do you do it for?" Carolyn grinned as she glanced up. Keith rolled his eyes, "Eat your food," He shoved a chocolate cake into her mouth.
"Delicious!"
"Yeah, yeah." As they consumed the cake, it was the present time. But as they did,
"What's going on?" Everyone turned their head over to the boy.
"What's that in your hand?"
"I don't know what it is? I got it from the dungeon before. But it's reacting to something," Keith's hand waved back and forth. The direction it headed to was Carolyn. It jumped out of his hand and went to the girl.
That was when a bright light shined down.
"Cuuu!" A little big ear creature was inside.
"EH?!"
