Volume 6 Chapter 2: Initiation

Keith didn't know what was going on outside. His focus was on preparing breakfast for everyone. What should I do first? First things first was to think about what to cook.

Pancakes? That was something he usually made for breakfast. But he shook his head. I did make it too many times. He had been cooking it every other day. Too many times would make them bored of it.

However, it was something Keith had to do. With how many big eaters he had, he knew he had to make things that would fill their stomachs.

Everyone is such a big eater.

Cadmus was big eater number one. The second person was Carolyn. Those two were manageable to a degree. However, when a few more big eaters joined in, things changed.

First was Herrick, then Nephele. The latest one who came was Melor. There were a lot of people who were big eaters. But those guys were the most fascinating; they could finish a loaf by themselves!

Keith raised his hand back and forth as he prepared to cook. Frittata seemed to be good. Keith took out a bunch of eggs from the refrigerator. At the rate these are disappearing, I need to restock. The number of eggs he used was enormous.

Need some meat and vegetables as well. Each individual had a different preference for what they liked. He started to fry some ham in the pan. As he did, he tossed some onions into it as well.

Once that was cooked, he poured the eggs in. The other type he prepared was a vegetable one. After pouring the egg mixture in, he placed them into the oven to let it bake. While that happened,

"Ho!" "Good morning, Aria." Keith smiled as he patted the owl's head.

"Breakfast will be finished once I whip up some bread and salad." Keith diced some lettuce and tomatoes. Need to make a light dressing as well.

As he did,

"If you guys have the time to stare at me, how about you set the table?"

"Seriously?! How did you know?!" Herrick muttered. Everyone stopped sparring with one another. They had all come to the kitchen, trying to get a whiff of the food.

"Dude got eyes behind his head."

"Just do it, or you won't get anything to eat," Keith chuckled. With those words, those guys quickly headed to the dining table to set it up. Soon after, Keith had brought a cart with him. Thank goodness I got Dalen to make this.

No way he could carry all of this into the dining room.

As he pushed the cart into the dining room, everyone was ready. Keith chuckled, "Okay, here are the dishes." Keith opened the dome, and the smell smacked their face.

"Please enjoy. One is made of spinach and asparagus. The other is with ham and onion. There's also one with chicken." Keith explained.

"So delicious!" Cadmus shouted as he munched on the ham.

"You guys," Melor was the one who gulped.

"What's up?"

"I don't think I can ever get used to having him here," Melor chuckled. The people he was mentioning were Cadmus and Sohma. The two stuck out like a sore thumb.

Well, he wasn't the only one. Faelyn was the same as well.

"You guys will get used to it. We got used to it." Alfia sighed. Everyone had to go through this initiation before they could enter.

"..." Really? Cadmus was munching on a frittata after all of this. As they talked,

"Keith, where is my reward?" Nephele looked up.

"Hmm?" Reward?

"Why do you need to get a reward after all the trouble you caused?" Diana smacked her head.

"But I was the-" Before Nephele could say it, Diana punched her in the stomach. It was so quick and swift!

"..."

"Don't worry. I promise you I will give you a reward later." Keith commented as he sipped his tea.

"Yay!"

"...This is a great spirit?" Faelyn mutterd.

"Diana, please clean the dishes. It's time for us to head out." Keith got up. Like that, the group went to change into their clothes.
