Volume 6 Chapter 13: What Is He Planning?

"Please come again any time you want! My shop will always welcome you." Helen waved the two off with a satisfied smile.

"Helen is really nice," Keith laughed.

"That's because you helped her out with the macao beans. She's usually more dangerous."

"Eh?" "Helen used to be an adventurer and a strong one at that."

"Oh," That would make sense. Keith felt Helen wasn't an average person. Her movements were way too refined to be normal. Even as Keith taught her, she understood instantly.

"Keith, thank you so much for helping me," The two finished all her work, "And that new drink as well."

"Hmm?"

"If you didn't make that drink, I couldn't stand it." Ange would have to suck it up and drink the previous one for the rest of her life. She doubted she could do it.

"I'm glad to help, Senior Ange. However, I also got some interesting information." Helen had given him the location where she got the macao beans. And he was eager to buy them.

"Do you want to go there now?" Ange laughed. Keith's body language said it all. He was jumping up and down. His footsteps had a light pop to them as he walked. There was no hiding that excitement.

"Mmhmm!" Like that, the two headed over to the shop.

"Hello, what can I do for you?" "I want to know if you have macao beans?"

"Mmhmm. We have macao beans. Do you want some from the northern region? We have some from the south as well." The merchant explained.

There are so many different kinds. Keith was excited. With the beans being grown in a different region, the taste would also change.

"I will take a bag of each of them!" Keith declared. There was no need to hold back! He had more than enough coins to buy anything.

"Understood! Let me pack them all for you!" The merchant quickly bagged them up.

"Are you sure you want to take a bag of each of them?" That was a considerable amount. And there were five as well.

"Mmhmm! I'm sure! I'm planning to make something delicious with it." Keith smiled.

"..."

"Senior Ange?"

"What kind of delicious thing are you planning to make?"

Keith looked up, "For starters, I want to make something like cookies with it." Coffee-flavored butter cookies were to die for. But there was more than that he could cook up.

"And there is something in particular I want to make with it." Just thinking about it was enough to make him excited.

"...Please bring some over." "Hmm? What did you say?" Ange's voice was soft, and he couldn't hear a thing.

"Please bring some treats to me as well." Hearing his words, Ange really wanted to try it.

"Sure! Please taste them when you have the chance!"

...

When Keith returned home,

I wondered how well they cleaned. Keith entered the building, and when he did, he saw everyone waiting in the lobby. They stood up when they saw Keith.

"Welcome home, Keith." Sarah was the first person to greet him. It was either Sarah, Gabriel, or Diana who greeted him.

"Mmhmm," Keith smiled.

"..." Thank goodness. The group continued to keep a calm expression. On the inside, it was a whole different matter. They sighed in relief when they saw Keith's face. They were prepared for everything. They had Sarah greet him as he was usually calm with her.

How is this going to go? Cadmus and the other adults stood on the second floor and watched the scene unfold.

"Anyone got a snack?"

"How could you say something like that?" Aidiun's eye twitched.

"That's because this is interesting." Cadmus smirked, "The tension, plotline, and the ambiance. I don't know why, but I want some snacks to watch this."

"..." What is wrong with you?

"I totally agree with you! That's why I brought some cookies!" Nephele took the cookie jar out.

"I know, right!"

"..." These two.

"Hmmm?" Keith looked around before walking over to the windows. Using his fingertips, he wiped at the sides. It was a gentle and elegant move. But that elegance brought anxiety to the others!

Never in their life have they felt so much pressure from such a simple move. Keith rubbed his fingers together and then looked at the group.

"..." Gulp!

He didn't look at them again as he checked the other rooms. As he did, the others didn't dare to move. After a few minutes, Keith returned to the lobby,

"And the verdict is?" Cadmus narrated.

"Okay, you guys get a B." Gabriel and the others cleaned the mansion. However, it needed to be cleaner to the point he wanted. It was only the first day, so it was enough...for now.

They took a deep sigh. It was as if all the tension was lifted from their bodies.

Keith smiled deviously, "But this is only the first day." Did they forget? They had to clean the mansion for a week!

"..." Yes, they did. They had completely forgotten about it!

"I'm going to prepare dinner now." Keith entered the kitchen, leaving them to their own devices.

"Keith is such a monster," Cadmus shook his head. He gave them salvation before slamming down the hammer.

"Dear lord, I can't withstand that pressure!" Melor almost slumped down on the floor.

"Can we all agree," Gabriel suggested, "No throwing magic in the house or near it?" When he said that, everyone turned to Alfia.

"...Understood." Alfia was embarrassed. However, she nodded her head. This was a matter of life and death for everyone.

...

After finishing their meal, Aidiun heard a knock.

"Professor, it's me."

"Please come in, Keith." Keith entered his room.

"What's the matter, Keith?"

"Professor, I would like to ask you a favor from the instructors and the other professors.

"Hmm?" Aidiun tilted his head.

What is he planning?
