Volume 5 Chapter 34: Airhead

The following day, Keith noticed Herrick had left ahead of them. This had been happening for quite some time as he didn't come down for breakfast. Keith shook his head. He's not going to grow if he acts like this.

While Keith thought, the rest ate their breakfast.

"I missed this so much!"

"No more burnt bread from Jack!"

"Hey!" Jack looked up. That word was the only thing he could say as he knew it was true!

"Come on, you guys are overreacting." Keith shook his head. Did you guys go through Armageddon? They were being too dramatic. That caused Nephele to look up this time,

"You wouldn't be saying this if you saw what we had!"

"What did you guys have?"

"Brunt toast, boiled meat, loaded with condensed milk," Sarah answered.

"..." Is that why we're running low on condensed milk. Keith usually kept it in a jar. And when he went to check, it was almost gone! Keith wanted to question them. However,

"Sorry for barging in," Alfia entered the dining room.

Keith smiled, "Hello, Alfia. Did you bring your spirits?"

"Mmhmm. Thank you for taking care of them."

"It's not me watching over them. That's all Diana and Nephele's doing." While he was gone, Diana and Nephele were the ones who supervised the two little spirits.

"Woof." "Kwak," The wolf and bird flew to Keith's side.

"Aww, I missed you guys as well." Keith patted the two spirit's head. It was really fluffy.

"..."

"Do you want to join us?"

"Is that alright?"

"Grab yourself a plate," Keith gestured.

"Thank you for the offer," Alfia said without hesitation as she sat down. She was now a regular on the island. Looking at the food on the table,

"Is this a new dish?"

"Mmhmm, I added some interesting ingredients I found. Please have a taste." Keith smiled. Soup was on the menu. He added some lamb into it, curious about the pairing.

Alfia took a sip, "It's a nice flavor." While she savored the taste,

"Keith! More!" Cadmus shouted!

"Hah, you need to pace yourself more." How could this person drink so fast?! He was going through it too much!

"When you made so much, I don't need to hold back!" Cadmus saw that vat in the back! He could eat all the time!

"Fine, fine." Keith shook his head as he poured more for him. While he did that,

"Do you guys want some as well?" Keith looked at the two spirits. They seemed to be staring intently at Fira.

"Woof!" "Kwak!" The two little spirits were excited. Keith smiled,

"Here you go."

...

"Let's go, wolfy!" Fira exclaimed as she rode the wolf! It seemed that was her residential spot as the spirit group dashed to the field. Keith sighed,

"Be careful! Aria, watch over them."

"Ho!" Aria nodded as she flew after them.

"Let's go," Keith smiled as their group headed to class. While they did that, Keith tilted his head,

"By the way, shouldn't Faelyn be with you?" Faelyn was technically her knight.

"Ahh, you don't have to-"

"Princess!" Before Alfia could say anything, Faelyn came rushing at them.

"Where have you been?!" Her hair was disheveled. It seemed she came here in a rush!

"Eh?" Alfia scratched her head, "I did say I was going to drop my spirits off at Keith's island."

"You should have brought me with you!"

"Eh, sorry." Alfia scratched her head.

"Did you have breakfast?" Keith asked.

"...No."

"Have an apple." Keith felt bad for the elf as he handed her an apple.

"...Thank you," Faelyn sighed as she took the apple.

"I take it that you're an airhead?" Keith and the rest stared at Alfia. But the latter shook her head,

"I'm not an airhead. I just tend to forget some things." Alfia looked away.

"That's the definition of being an airhead." Keith shook his head.

"I don't want to hear that from you!" "Eh?"

"You ditched class on your own whims and ran around without a thought." Alfia retorted.

"That doesn't mean I'm an airhead, right?"

"Now that she said it," Carolyn thought about it.

"What?"

"You're really scatterbrained compared to others," Gabriel explained.

"Come on!"

"Alfia's right. Sometimes, you would stare off into space." Carolyn would see Keith staring out the window.

"..."

"See," A proud grin formed on Alfia's face. That caused Faelyn to scratch her head,

"Princess," Did she have to be happy about not being an airhead?

"Ugh," Keith groaned as they entered the classroom.

"I'm not as airheaded as you!" "You are!"

"You two are acting like children!" Carolyn shook her head. Faelyn tried to calm her down, "Princess, please."

"No way!"

"I'm not that absent-minded!"

"Gabriel, help-eh?" Carolyn turned her head to see Gabriel sitting far away, trying his best not to look at them.

"..." Are you serious?!
