Volume 5 Chapter 32: A Meal After So Long

Do you have to mess with our taste buds?! Are you trying to ruin us after all this time?! This guy was so messed up! They waited all this time only to have something horrible in their mouth!

"Sorry, I wanted you guys to taste it as well." Keith laughed. There was something else he learned with the cloud pig meat. If you didn't cook it precisely, the scent would be pleasant. However, the taste would be horrible.

That was an exciting day. Keith had to suffer alone with this taste. So why not share it with others?

"..." The look he got from them didn't change.

"Don't worry. I promise you I will make something delicious with it." Keith smiled as he tossed it into the pot. That caused Carolyn and the others to frown,

"Why would you throw it into the soup?!" Was he trying to ruin it?!

"You'll see." Keith had a smile on his face, not saying anything. Slowly, the aroma started to become stronger than before.

"How could this be?!"

"Wait, it might taste even worse!" Jack still had some doubts. That meat smelled great. However, it might still taste horrible.

"..." Their expressions paused when they heard that. Jack was right.

"You guys don't have to be so uptight." Keith shook his head as he cut up some onions and other vegetables and tossed them in. There was also some lamb meat.

The others looked down at the soup and noticed it was a light gold color.

"Is it tasty?" The aroma was perfect. However, that horrible taste couldn't be forgotten.

"Mmhmm. See, let me take a sip." Keith took a sip of the soup.

"..." Isn't it just you doing the chef's privileges?

"You guys set up the table, and I'll bring everything over." Keith smiled.

"Understood!" Everyone got to work! They wanted to eat as soon as possible.

...

"Ugh." Cadmus groaned as he headed to Keith's island. While he did that, he had a dark expression.

That caused the students to back away from him! The aura from his body made everyone shiver from fear!

Sohma sighed, "Can you be more respectable?"

"What? You're the same as well!" Cadmus glared at Sohma. He wasn't the only one who was going through this problem. Sohma was the same!

"What are you talking about?"

"Do you think I wouldn't notice how you gave more people more work for no reason!" While Cadmus was more active and showed his emotions on his face, Sohma was subtle and deadly!

He would give out more paperwork to the other instructors. The instructors could only cry. The look Sohma gave them shut them up.

"..." Sohma glared at Cadmus, but the latter also glared back.

"Come now, let's all calm down." Where is Keith when you need him?! Aidiun wanted to cry. If those two started a brawl, half the city would be destroyed. The only person who could deal with this was Keith!

Ask, and you shall receive! When they entered Keith's island, they smelled something mouth-watering. The three's expression turned soft as they continued to sniff.

"Did he-" Before Aidiun could finish his sentence, Cadmus dashed into the building. Sohma sighed and soon followed after him!

"Oh, you guys are back?" Keith walked out of the kitchen with a giant pot in his hand.

"Keith, you've returned!" Cadmus was overjoyed, but his expression turned dark, "Why did you take so long to return?!"

"Because I lost track of time." Keith shrugged his shoulders. But that caused Cadmus to glare at him even more! We were suffering because you lost track of time?!

Keith ignored the look he gave as he entered the dining room. The others were already done setting up the table.

"Can someone call Herrick down?" He was the only one who wasn't downstairs.

Gabriel scratched his head, "Yeah, he won't be eating with us."

"Hmm?" Did something happen?

"I'll explain it to you later."

Keith nodded, "Understood, let's eat."

"Yay!" That was what they were waiting for."

"Gimme now!"

"...Guys. I know I wasn't here these last few days. But come on, show some manners." These guys were eating like they were starved for weeks. There were fruits, right?!

"Do you know how much we missed it?!"

"Yeah! How could you leave us like that?!"

Everyone cried out as they stared at him. How could this man be so nonchalant!

"My mistake." Keith waved his hand. I should not say anything.
