Volume 10 Chapter 5: To The Sea!

“Come on, why are you giving me the stink eye?” Cadmus wanted to cry. The look coming off from Keith was quite something. It sent shivers down his spine.

That only caused the others to grab their heads. Do you realize what you did? Of course, that guy would be furious after what had happened before. He returned home to the academy only to fight against someone.

“Oh yeah, Professor Aidiun, Uncle Sohma, here are your gifts,” Keith then handed the two boxes.

“Truffles, right?”

“Mmhmm, you saw?”

“Yeah, Tennol was eating them.” Tennol didn’t hesitate to start eating the thing before them. And they looked impressive. They didn’t get jealous either since Keith definitely didn’t forget about them. They were going to get them later.

“Hey! Don’t I get one as well?” Cadmus was the only one missing.

“Not after you throw that on me.” Keith’s eyes narrowed.

Cadmus sighed, “Come on, you’re the only one. And I’m hurting as well! I missed your dessert shop opening and the chocolate store opening!” Of course, he had heard about it all, but he couldn’t go there since he had to do all of this. It was definitely heartbreaking; he really wanted to cry. All that delicious chocolate was gone in a flash.

“Hah, here.” Keith then tossed the box of chocolate over to him. That caused the dragon’s dejected look to turn upside down.

“But to think you did all that in such a short time,” Cadmus laughed. No one would have expected the boy to build two stores. Keith scratched his head, “When I found chocolate, I had to.”

“So when you’re building one here?”

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

“Not any time soon,” Keith scoffed. There was no way he was building the chocolate store here.

“Tch!” “Don’t “Tch!” me! You know I won’t do so in the next few years.” It was one of his things; he wanted time to see how the citizens would react; that way, he could see what worked and what didn’t.

“By the way, what should I expect when heading off tomorrow?” There was something he needed to figure out. But that only caused Cadmus to wave, “There’s nothing to worry about. You’ll do fine.”

“Are you sure?” He made it sound like there was nothing wrong with their island.

“Trust me on this; you can definitely solve this problem in a flash. And I wouldn’t get the same results if I did it."

“...” Everyone was curious. Sohma and Aidiun knew as they nodded behind them.

...

Keith turned to the two the next day, “Is everyone ready?” It was time for them to meet with Long Lihua and Ayaka’s group. They were going to head off in the morning.

“Mmhmm,” “Always,” The two were prepared to move out. The little ones did the same thing as well. Hearing all of this, “Diana, we’re going now.”

“Please stay safe out there.” “Mmhmm,” Keith nodded, and the three headed out. The meeting place they all decided on was the gates of the academy.

“You guys came here early.” Their group was already before them, which was surprising.

“Let’s go now,” With everyone here, it was time for them to head off. That was when they headed into the gate.

Keith looked around, “Hmm? Where is this?” The place they had arrived at was a town. However, what fascinated him was that he could hear something from the side.

“We’re in a dock town. We’re going to be traveling by boat to the place we’re going.”

“We’re going by boat?!” Keith’s eyes widened; his gaze filled with excitement. That was because it would be his first time going on a boat!

“Mmhmm!” And he wasn’t alone as Carolyn and Krystal’s eyes changed as well. Keith and the others were quite excited about it.

That was when they had arrived before the ports. A vast number of boats were before them. The group continued to walk before they arrived in front of a medium-sized boat. It was a traditional-style one. A dragon person was waiting for them.

“Where is the ancestor?” Cadmus wasn’t with them at all.

“He sent us this gentleman to help us,” The fox-man had pointed at Keith. That was when the captain frowned. However, that was only an afterthought since Long Lihua and Ayaka said nothing. That meant they were going to follow Cadmus's words.

“Let me show you guys to your room,” Keith nodded, and that was when they were led to their rooms. These are surprisingly nice rooms. Long Lihua scratched her head, “Is it fine for the two of you to share rooms?”

Carolyn nodded as she hugged Krystal, “Of course! There’s no need to worry about anything.” The two’s relationship only grew even more when they were at Keith’s home. The two would sleep together with Leon and Laura. This was another day for them.

“How long will it take for us to arrive before your island?”

“Hmm, if there’s no bad weather, then we’ll get there in a few days,” Long Lihua explained. That was when the boat started to set off.

Keith couldn’t help but look at the sea. This was the first time he had seen the ocean. And it was quite an incredible thing. The oceans were clear enough for him to look through it. I wonder if I can fish something out quickly.
