Volume 6.5 Chapter 66: Crack This Thing Open Like An Egg!

Speak of the devil, and he shall appear!

"Where is it?! I smell something delicious!" Aidiun's head snapped around to see Cadmus and Sohma emerging from the side. His eyes widened as he took in the sight of Sohma, still in his pajamas, and the tiger's gaze met his.

So he forced you to come here?

Mmhmm. Sohma let out a deep sigh. He had been peacefully sleeping when the dragon, in a fit of excitement, broke into his room, claiming to smell something delicious.

Sohma, still half-asleep, had dismissed the dragon's words as pure madness, hoping to catch a few more hours of sleep. But, as fate would have it, that was not to be. Cadmus had grabbed him by the leg and forcefully dragged him here!

"We ate a lot." Keith grinned as he patted his stomach. Those were some delicious smoked meats.

"..." That excited expression Cadmus had turned into a dead one! What? One looked at the others; everyone had a dead expression. Are you kidding me?!

"Relax, I'm only joking. I still have something for you all." Their expressions quickly changed when they heard that.

There was more?

"There's actually something we haven't eaten either." Keith grinned. The bacon was still in there. It needed more time to smoke.

"What is it?"

"Bacon."

"Bacon?" The others looked at one another, curious about the new food Keith had made. However, the man didn't say anything else as he started to read a book. There was nothing else to do but to wait. Arlo and Udine did the same.

The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

As they did, Herrick and the others could only get closer to the smoker. What was coming from this machine was just incredible!

"Guys, it won't go faster if you stare at it. Also, I think you guys need to get changed." Did they forget about what they were wearing? Everyone wore pajamas. The excitement took over, and they rushed outside before they could change themselves.

"..." Alfia and the other girl's cheeks turned red. How embarrassing.

"...What if you eat it before we return?" Cadmus glared at Keith and the two. He couldn't trust them, not when they had eaten all that before them! Hearing his words, the others stopped in their tracks! What Cadmus said was true.

"Relax, do you really think I would do that?" Keith shook his head.

"..."

"Also, I had my fill. Going to need to rest a bit before I can eat more." This was also true. The three had eaten so much that they couldn't eat more!

"..." That just made the others angry. However, they didn't say anything as they walked away. Hearing this brought them some ease.

Alfia wiped her face, "Seriously, why does this man always make such good food?"

"It's Keith, Princess." Faelyn sighed. Only Keith would do something like that.

"But that smell was too dangerous." Sarah shivered. That alluring smell drew her in. Before she knew it, she was outside staring at the smoker!

The three continued to talk as they returned outside. When they did, they saw the beastman and dwarf before the smoker.

"Herrick, how are you feeling?" "Like cracking this thing open like an egg and eating whatever that's there." A gulp sound came from the two as they stared. His arm stretched out, ready to do that. Melor wasn't going to stop it.

Alfia smacked him in the head when he did, "Can you stop acting like a wild animal?! Keith said we only need to wait for the sand glass to go down!" To keep them from trying to open it, Keith took out a sand glass for them.

"But can't you smell it?!" The smoke coming from the top didn't help the situation. The beastman was losing his mind because of this!

"..." Alfia couldn't say anything about it. The smell was affecting everyone. But a thought came to Faelyn's mind,

"What about the principal?" That was the other person they should worry about. The principal was the primary suspect who would go crazy!

"Aidiun and Sohma watched over him. He tried to bust open the smoker, and the two took him away." Diana shook her head. Cadmus was one step ahead of Herrick. He was ready to crack the smoker open just to get it. Aidiun and Sohma tackled him before he could!

And he was being monitored by the two.

"I see." Alfia and the girls could already imagine what had happened.
