Volume 6.5 Chapter 40: Does He Not Realize What's Going To Happen Next?

"Hmm?" The three spirits tilted their heads. Was there something else he planned to make? Keith explained, "I'm going to make a special syrup."

"Syrup?" "Yes. It's simple to make and can be used for various types of desserts. It's really sweet and delicious." Cheong. It was a mixture of fruit and sugar to make a delicious syrup.

"Sweets." Nephele and Udine muttered when they heard Keith's words. He had them at sweet; the rest went out the window. Keith grinned as he took out four fruits; Orange, lemon, blue plums, and apple.

The first step was to deseed the fruits that had them. Once that was accomplished, it was time to add sugar and fruit into a glass jar.

"You're using that much sugar?!" Nephele's eyes widened in disbelief when she saw the amount of sugar going into the jar. She had seen how he used it when baking cookies. But this was way more than she had ever imagined!

"To make Cheong, you need an equal amount of fruit and sugar." Keith smiled as he continued to pour the sugar in. I need to cover the top with sugar. That way, mold won't form.

"How long will it take for the Cheong to be ready?" Diana questioned.

"2-4 months." Keith thought about it. It would depend a lot on the fruit.

"2 months?! Why does it take so long?!"

"We can taste test it sooner. But it would lack the fruit flavor." The flavor of the fruit wouldn't mix into the syrup. Keith shook his head, "Good things don't come without a price." All good food would take some time. After finishing it up, Keith placed the jars in a cold space.

"So, Udine."

"Hmm?" Udine looked up; she had a piece of galette in her mouth.

"Can you help us out now?"

"Help with what?"

"The seed." Diana clutched her head. This girl really forgot about why they called her here.

"Sure. What do you need my help with?"

"Hmm, encasing the seed with water should be fine. Is that alright, Diana?"

This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.

Diana nodded, "Mmhmm. That would be enough. Also, we will need to make it deep."

"Understood." The four returned to the garden, and he placed his hand down. When he did, the dirt slowly moved, forming a circle! In the center, Keith planted the seed. It was now on an island by itself.

"Can you fill it now?"

"Mmhmm." Udine raised her hand as she prepared to summon out the water. Before she did, Diana and Nephele quickly got in front of Keith.

"What are the two of you doing?"

"Protection." "Protection?"

"Keith, you will understand." Diana didn't say anything else as she got into a battle stance.

"..." Are we engaging in battle?! But Keith didn't need to think about it as Udine summoned water!

"UDINE! TOO MUCH!" Nephele screamed as she saw six pillars of water! That was a lot...actually, it was pretty absurd! Diana quickly smacked the water spirit, making her stop.

"Are you trying to sink the island?!" "My bad. I fell asleep." Udine let out a smile, trying to play it off. But that was not going to stop Diana and Nephele,

"We always tell you not to sleep on the job!" "You could have drowned everyone!"

"It's fine. No one was hurt." Keith waved it off, "Thank you so much for your help, Udine." All in all, the seed got a lot of water.

"Mmhmm." "Don't make a proud expression." Diana and Nephele's eyes narrowed at the woman.

"Also, will you be staying here with us?"

"Mmhmm." Udine nodded, "I will be staying here with my sisters."

"That's great! I will introduce you as a dorm mother of the mansion!" This was the usual now.

"Dorm mother? I'm just Udine."

"The others don't know about us being a great spirit. And they shouldn't. Only two students know about us. Dorm mother is used as a cover."

"Oh, then you can call me Dorm Mother Udine." Udine nodded as she also questioned, "Will I get food like this?"

"Of course! You will have three meals every day. Also, you can eat the fruits here as well." Keith grinned.

"Mmhmm," Udine was content, "Will I also stay at the same home with Nephele and Udine?" She noticed the building that was close to the garden.

"Sure." Diana's home had more than enough space to hold three great spirits.

"Keith, what was that magic?" As they discussed her living arrangements, Aidiun came to the backyard. Keith laughed, "Professor Aidiun, you saw that?"

"It was a giant pillar of water. I could see it from the academy."

"Ahaha. It was something. Also, I would like to introduce another member to our island. Her name is Udine, and she will be a dorm mother." Keith introduced Udine.

"..." Aidiun blinked, "Is she-"

"Yes." Diana and Nephele nodded. He wanted to ask whether Udine was a great spirit. And she was.

"I see. Nice to meet you. I'm Aidiun, the dorm manager." Aidiun bowed.

"Mmhmm." Udine nodded.

"Alright, I should prepare dinner now." Keith raised his hand into the air as he was ready for dinner. But as he was going to do that,

"Does he not realize what's going to happen next?" Aidiun questioned. This kid was being too nonchalant with all of this. Diana shook her head, "I think it will only occur when those two return home."
