Volume 10 Chapter 4: Gifting Truffles

“I’ve brought some gifts.” Keith grinned as they headed into the mansion. That was when he brought out the goodies. He had prepared a lot of things for them. Their great spirits’ eyes glimmered.

“These are some new items that my chocolate company has made.” Every single item from the bakery and the chocolate store. He had brought it over to them.

“Chocolate company?” The three great spirits tilted their heads as they stared at the boy. Bakery and merchant store; those two were something they knew about.

“Yeah, he was basically doing everything he wanted during that time,” Caroyln and Krystal muttered.

“So, the usual?” Keith going on a rampage was a common thing for everyone.

“Hey! You guys were the ones who forced me to do it. This was not my doing,” The only reason why he had done this was because these girls begged him.

“You did it for us, thank you,” Carolyn grinned.

“Shut it,” Keith quickly shoved a truffle into her mouth.

“Aww, I want to go there and try!” Nephele felt like she had missed out on a lot.

“You can come to my home another time,” Keith grinned.

“But are you overworking yourself?” Diana asked the concerning question. Running a store had to be difficult. And to make two at the same time was even more so.

“No, I’m pretty fine with it all.” Keith was not tired at all. He felt more energetic from this.

Diana grinned as Keith headed to the farm. That was when he saw a couple of bees approaching his side.

They nudged his face with utmost care, “Aww, I missed you guys as well. Did you guys also increase in numbers?” There were many more than in the last few weeks. Also, the hive they made was even bigger than last time.

Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

“Eldi, how are you doing?” Keith turned to the giant flame bird.

“Coo!” Eldi sounded as she was happy.

“Knight, you’re not causing trouble, are we?” Keith patted the horse’s head. Even when lying in the stable, its battle intent was shown to everyone. It was raring for a fight.

“Ngeh,” The horse nudged his head.

Keith returned to the first island, “I’m going to go out and check out some things before we leave.” He needed to go meet people. As he was prepared to go,

“Cuu!” The tiny creature had landed on his shoulder, “Ruby, you’re going to come with me?”

“Cuu!” The little baby sounded. It seemed she was excited to head to the city.

“Fira, are you coming with us?”

“No, I’m going to be in the garden!” It had been quite some time since she had taken care of it.

“Let’s go,” Aria and Ruby would be going with him. That was when he headed off. The first place he headed to was the guild hall,

“Madison!”

“Keith? You returned so soon?” Madison was quite surprised that he had returned home so quickly. She knew about the breaks the students had.

“Cuuu!” Ruby called out as well.

“Aww, who’s the cutie with you?”

“Ahh, this here is my friend’s familiar,” Keith patted the little one’s head, “I came here early. But I will be gone again for some time as well.” That was when he took something out, “Here,”

“Hmm? What’s this?” A box was placed before him.

“Oh, it’s something that I made from my home. I’ve made a chocolate factory there, so I wanted to give some as gifts.” Truffles as gifts were a perfect treat for all of them.

“Thank you so much!” Madison’s smile beamed as she stared at the boy.

“Is Kaiser here as well?”

“Mmhmm, but he’s in an important meeting.” Kaiser was still the vice guildmaster.

“Then can you hand this to him later? Also, can you hand them to White Lily and the other parties?” He was going to give these truffles to everyone that he knew.

“Sure, I can do that,” Madison grinned. After talking with the girl for some time, he headed to Iron Hilde.

“Skar, what is up!” Keith grinned.

“Kid, you’re back?” Skar frowned.

“Of course I would be back,” Keith grinned as he took some things out, “Here.”

“What?” “It’s chocolate made from a company I made. Also, I need to buy a new shield.” There was something else he needed. Orin had built him a halberd.

But the shield was something he needed. The one he had used was not going to cut it any longer; he needed to use a smaller shield.

“What kind?” “A medium round shield.” That was going to be his go-to.

“Then how about something like this?” A blur was tossed at the boy; the person who had said this was Dalen.

“Oooo, this is light.” Keith noticed how light the shield was in his hand. But as he continued to move around, “What is this made out of?”

“From the horn of a crystal rhino. Also, I added the variant into the mix,” Dalen grinned. Keith tilted his head, “How did you know I needed a shield?” This seemed custom-made.

“My brother had told me you needed a shield. So, we were working on this one. It’s still a prototype, but it should be more than enough for you to use.”

“Thank you,” Keith grinned. He talked with them a few more times before returning to the island. That was where he saw Cadmus and the two there.

“Why are you here?”
