Volume 6.5 Chapter 48: Big Brother!
Keith woke up and took a deep yawn as he glanced. It was another ordinary day. I should check up on it. He headed to the garden and saw Udine adding water around the seed.
"Good morning, Udine."
"Mmhmm. Good morning."
"How is the seed doing today? Any problems?"
"It's doing fine. But it's taking a lot of water." The seed was quite fickle; it required a massive amount of water daily. She had to add water three times a day. Each intake was at least 4 gallons of water.
"I want something to eat, but Diana said I had to add more water before I could." Udine sulked as she said this. Keith chuckled, "Don't worry. When you add more water to it, there will be cookies and fruits for you."
After seeing her eat a few times, Keith knew Udine was a person who preferred sweets.
"Mmhmm." Udine was content with this.
"And are you helping her out as well?" Keith looked down at the wolf, who was adding water as well.
"Woof!" The wolf was a water spirit. While they talked,
"Keith!" Fira slowly floated over to Keith's side, "Are you done with the garden?"
"Mmhmm! Big Sister Diana and I helped with growing." The garden recovered a great deal. The two nature spirits worked overtime to make it better.
"That's great. What's the matter?"
This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.
"I want to go out!" "Eh?"
"I want to go out and play!" Fira repeated. Keith blinked a few times before a thought came to his mind; do you mean training? Playing and training became the same words for Fira. Before Keith could say something,
"Po!" Mir quickly jumped onto his shoulders and nudged his face.
"I'm guessing you want to go out as well?"
"Po! Po!" Mir jumped up and down, signaling a yes. The little snowball called, "Bo! Bo!"
"You're siblings as well?" Keith thought about it. It had been quite some time since I'd met them. Inti and the others couldn't shrink like Mir. It would be difficult for them to come and go as they please. Last time, they sulked so hard that Keith felt really guilty.
"Alright, we'll have a training day!" There was no reason to say no. He couldn't get them to train with everything that happened these last few days. Their skills would get rusty if he didn't.
"Udine, can you tell Diana about this?"
"Mmhmm."
"..." Did you space out again? One thing he learned about this girl was that she loved to sleep and space out.
"Big Sister Udine, please!" Fira jumped at Udine, trying to get her to wake up.
"I know."
Like that, the group headed off. Entering the forest, he decided to put more distance from the city and them. He didn't want any trouble with the guards.
"Alright, I'm going to summon them now." Keith raised his hand in the air. When he did, three magic circles appeared. The snowballs quickly emerged from them. However, there was something off with this summon.
"Big brother!" "Eh?" Keith blinked a few times when he heard a childish voice. Before he could figure out what occured, the two little lightning bolts dashed at his stomach!
"Leon! Laura?! Why are the two of you here?!" He couldn't believe it. How could these two be here?!
"Big brother!" Leon and Laura didn't say anything as they hugged Keith real tight. A soft expression formed as Keith hugged the two, "It's good to see you."
"Po! Po!" The three snowballs surrounded Keith as they licked his face, "I missed you guys as well."
"How are the two of you doing?" Keith looked at the little ones.
"Good!" Leon raised his hand as he said this. Laura continued to snuggle into Keith's pants.
"That's great." Keith patted their heads. Keith asked Laura, "Laura, have you been eating your vegetables?" He got a letter from Sophia saying that Laura was still having difficulty eating vegetables.
"...Mhmmm."
"Try your best." That pause was already a signal she was having problems.
"Big brother, where are we?" Leon looked around and realized they were in the forest. It was completely different from where they were. Laura hugged Keith tighter, cautious about everything.
"You two don't have to worry about anything. We're in a forest outside of the academy I attend." Keith assured them. Then, a thought came to his mind, "How did the two of you get here?"
"We were playing with Inti when we saw them glow." "We jumped on him and appeared here."
"..." You can do that? Keith blinked in disbelief.
"I see," Keith groaned before he asked, "I'm planning to have Inti and the rest practice. Want to watch?"
