Volume 5 Chapter 51: Great -> Master
However, what Licht was mesmerized by was the atmosphere. There were different people here together. What was shocking about all of this was that there wasn't any fighting. They were all enjoying food together. It was suprising given the history everyone had.
While he marveled at the sight, he didn't know that a few elves were watching from afar, "We have to report this to the prince."
...
"Grandpa Cedric, how do you feel about it?" Keith wanted to determine the customers' thoughts on the new food.
"What?" Cedric looked up. He was munching on two crepes.
"... Never mind," Keith couldn't say anything. His actions spoke for themselves.
"Keith, I want to get another one. This time, make it a chicken," Melor was the one who asked.
"Sure," It was easy to tell they were hooked.
"Brother, we have to get seconds!" Keith could hear Alfia's rushed voice as she forced Licht onto the line.
...
"Sorry, everyone! But I'm all out of ingredients!" Keith was out of stock. With how many times customers returned for seconds, it was not a surprise he ran out!
"Aww,"
"Come on!"
Some customers were a little sad. They couldn't go for thirds!
"Sorry about that, folks! However, I will be opening my cart up tomorrow." Keith assured them. That made the customers sigh in relief.

Keith rolled his arms around. When he headed to the kitchen to prepare breakfast,
"No! Herrick! You can't leave it there all by itself! It will get lonely!" Outside, he could hear Fira's scoldings.
"I understand, Master Fira!"
Keith looked out the window and shook his head.
"Ho!" "Hey, girl." Aria entered through the window, landing on Keith's shoulders.
"Were they out there for the entire morning?" "Ho." This scene had been happening for quite some time now.
"It was worse a few minutes ago," Diana entered the kitchen.
"What did Herrick do this time?" Keith chuckled.
"He placed the pot on top of the heater. He thought the plant would absorb the heat or something," Even Diana was baffled just explaining it right now.
"I see," Keith shook his head. This fool.
"But he's growing." Diana smiled. That was the good thing about Herrick. He was learning from his mistakes. Once he made one, he never did the same thing again.
"Mmhmm, he's learning to take the criticism." That was one of the things Herrick was horrible at. Even after he was scolded, the words would go in one ear and out the other. He wasn't learning from it at all.
However, he was now accepting the criticism and learning from it.
"But I think he's going at it a little too hard," Being too serious about it was also a problem.
"He's learning, unlike a certain someone." Diana glanced at Nephele, who entered.
"I'm trying as well!" Nephele retorted. Why was she being scolded first thing in the morning?!
"You broke 10 plates this week!" Diana shook her head. Only worry was on her face. Thinking about her future made Diana shudder.
"..." No comeback.
"You'll get there, Nephele," Keith encouraged. But this is going to take a long time. The difference between Diana and Nephele was heaven and earth! Diana was a level 100 dorm mother, while the latter was level 10.
"I will try," Nephele gritted her teeth. She really didn't want to leave this island!
"Yeah! You got this!" Keith smiled and turned to the windows, "Herrick, Fira! Come in for breakfast!"
"Understood!" Fira and Herrick nodded as they headed in. As everyone ate,
"Keith, do you know when it will grow?" Herrick questioned. He was curious about when the bud would fully bloom.
"Depends," Keith casually said.
"Eh?"
"Sometimes, the plant would grow in like a week or two. However, there would be instances in which it would take a month or two."
"What?!" Herrick's eyes widened.
"It depends on how you take care of it," Keith grinned.
"Then I will work harder." Herrick stared at little Herc. Noticing the leaves, he quickly added more water to it.
"Good," Keith finished his tea and got up, "Diana, can you wash the plates. I'm heading out now,"
"Understood," Diana nodded.
Keith raised his hand as he dragged his cart back to his spot. When he arrived,
"Kid, did you have to take so long?!" Cedric stated with a huff.
"Why did you guys come here so early?!" Keith laughed. A group was already waiting for him there.
