Volume 6.5 Chapter 28: Simple: I Have A Backer
"What's the matter with you two?" Keith tilted his head at the two. Was this going to be the norm? He was dragged out of his classroom most of the time. Angelica and Sakura frowned at his words. The two had brought him to the garden.
"Do you really not know, or are you just messing around?" Sakura questioned. How do you not know?
"I just wanted to lighten the mood. Is the news really that bad?" Keith tilted his head. Sakura shook her head, "No, it's not bad...right now."
"Right now?" Do you have to make it sound so ominous?
"You understand this news will be spread to the other kingdoms, right?"
"Wait, what? It's being spread around to other kingdoms?" No one had told him about this! City? That was expected. However, to the other kingdoms? Nope, didn't expect that.
"Why?!"
"The dungeon you explored was an S-rank dungeon. Do you really think you can find these things everywhere?" It was way too rare.
"The treasures you obtained are something every kingdom wishes to have!" Treasures from a floor boss were not normal at all. Everyone would seek after it.
"That's why you're going to be a target."
"Oh, I knew that part." That was something Keith had known about. Kaiser had come to him to discuss some things. One of them was that they were supposed to publish the news of a new dungeon and the people who cleared it. It was to cement their names.

"But I never anticipated that it would be sent to other kingdoms." That was something he didn't expect.
"Why aren't you scared?" Angelica frowned. This guy was too calm and nonchalant when people were ready to get him. Keith shook his head and explained,
"That's because I have the principal behind me. I doubt anyone would want to cause trouble for him." Behind Keith was Cadmus. He wouldn't jump in between squabbles between children. But if a kingdom stepped in, he would definitely make a move.
Hearing that, Angelica clapped her hands, "Is that why you can do so many crazy things without getting into big trouble?"
"No, I just do it without a care about the punishments." Keith grinned. He gave hell for Cadmus because of his antics.
"..." What did you do to the principal? That grin on his face made it feel like he did something to Cadmus ten times over. Did he not understand that the dragon could blow him up with a finger?
"You need to be more careful now," Sakura repeated. Keith shook his head, "You don't need to worry about anything, Senior Sakura. You know me; I can handle it."
There was really nothing to worry about. However, seeing how calm he was,
"And that's why we have to warn you." Knowing Keith's careless attitude, he might cause trouble wherever he went. And she was a little frightened of what he could do.
"Aww, don't worry so much. How about we have lunch now." Keith grinned. It was lunchtime.
"Also, I need your help with eating all of this."
"Hmm?"
"It's better if I just showed you." Keith then took out his lunchbox. When he did,
"What the?" "Why is there so much?" The two girls had eaten from his lunchbox before. But this was so much bigger! Angelica touched the box,
"Heavy as well." It had a good heft to it as well. Keith explained, "I made a lot during breakfast. So I packed up the rest, and here we are now." It was a lot,
"Are you guys fine with eating this scrap?"
"If scraps taste like heaven, what are we eating?" "Indeed?"
They would gladly eat those scraps! They couldn't be called that either way since it tasted way too good. The aroma leaked from the lunchbox; it slowly made their stomach rumble.
"I see." Keith laughed as he opened the lid. When he did, the two girls questioned,
"...You're island gets to eat all of that?"
"Mmhmm." Keith nodded.
"..."
"Please try it out." Angelica didn't hesitate as she took a pancake and ate it,
"This is chewy and fluffy!"
"The meat is grilled perfectly as well." Sakura ate some grilled pork.
"Thank you."
Like that, the group ate like no tomorrow.
