Volume 7 Chapter 30: How Much Does It Cost?

"Keith," Angelica and the rest turned to the boy.

"Hmm?" After telling Alger off, the guy had returned to working on his orders.

"Don't "Hmm," us. Why did you do something like that?" Alfia and the others were curious. The girls were quite dumbfounded when those words were uttered. They wanted to say something about it, but the conversation was too quick.

"Keith, that was incredibly rude," Sakura added, her voice tinged with a hint of disappointment. She never expected the boy, the usually composed and respectful one, to say something like this.

"You have a reason for it?" There had to be a reason for why Keith kicked him out.

Cedric and Dalen stood on the side and watched the situation unfold. Titus and the other adventurers did the same. The ones close to Keith didn't peg that either.

His eyebrows knitted as he answered, "A feeling."

"A feeling?"

"There was a weird vibe coming from the guy. And it wasn't good." Uncomfortable and irk. All those negative feelings were coming off of Alger.

"..." The others went silent. It had been another person; they would call him crazy for doing that. But this was Keith.

His intuition was crazy high. Titus and Galven saw firsthand what he was capable of doing. This was especially so with Titus. For the kid to say that person had a weird vibe meant something to him.

"I see," Sakura took a deep sigh. That intuition was something she knew about as well.

"But you should have said it better." How Keith reacted was terrible for business.

"Don't really mind." Keith's business was still booming. There was no need to worry. But why did I do that? This was the first time. He didn't think he would react so dangerously against him.

"Now I have to get back to work." Keith returned to flipping crepes in the air. Scarlet nodded as she grabbed the orders.

However, Alfia was different.

"..." Alfia had a frown when she heard all of this. Was it because of Carolyn? The last time she checked, Keith had never met with Alger before. Or did Carolyn talk about Alger with him? Right? Whatever the case, Alfia's heart pounded. It was as if her chest was waiting to blow out.

"Wasn't that guy the one who was with Carolyn?" Scarlet whispered.

"How did you know?!"

"That's because I saw the two together." During the party, Scarlet kept tabs on Alfia and the others; Carolyn was one of them. That was how she saw the two together.

"Should we tell him about it?" Scarlet doubted the guy knew about the relationship between Alger and Carolyn.

"No, I don't want him to worry about it. And we might be wrong about it as well." There was no need to make him worry over something that could be nothing.

While the two girls were thinking deeply about this, Keith was focused on rolling the cart away. Scarlet and Alfia helped with the cleanup. But when the three entered the island,

"Keith! There's a situation!" Jack quickly ran over to Keith.

"Hmm? There's another one?" Is this a curse or something? Whenever he returned home, there would always be a situation.

The three looked at one another as they quickly walked over.

"Woah! Why are there so many bees?!" What Keith and the two saw was a bunch of dragon bees! There were at least 15!

"Bzz!" Bei noticed Keith and quickly headed over to him.

"I know you said you were collecting nectar, but I didn't think you would bring back a bunch of bees."

"Bzz!" Bei continued to nudge Keith. But when she did, the other bees also crowd him.

"Hello, everyone. Welcome to my island." Keith patted the bees. It seemed they were still babies. And he understood them as well. The contract was similar to Shiro and Samuis. He could understand them.

“…” The others watched the scene of Keith being swarmed by bees. How is he so unfazed by it?!

"Is it just me, or will this be a problem?" Jack nudged Gabriel.

"…maybe." This was up for grabs. Keith thought, "Are you going to make the hive next?" Since Bei had obtained her workers, the next thing to do was to create a hive.

"Bzz!" Bei nodded. That was the next thing to do. She would need a place to work and produce honey.

"I see." Keith turned to Cadmus, who was resting in the hammock. That had officially become a place for him to rest. Throughout the entire interaction, he was so unfazed by the dragon bees.

"Grandpa Cadmus, how much will it cost to get another island?"
