Volume 7 Chapter 55: It’s Better If She’s Mad At Me
"Krystal, wake-Oh, you're already awake." Keith knocked on her door; one was enough as the girl quickly opened.
"..." Krystal didn't say anything as she walked out, not before bumping into Keith's shoulders. The man let out a slight chuckle.
She is so mad. Her eyes said everything; she did not want to do this.
"Ho," Aria nudged the boy, which caused him to smile. When the three headed outside, Scarlet and Alfia were waiting.
"Didn't I say you can take a break today?" Alfia and Krystal were going to be doing the work.
"I wanted to see what I can help out with. And I really don't have anything to do today." Scarlet let out a grin.
"..." Keith slapped himself in the face, "Alright, then let's go." There was no point in arguing. When they arrived at the area, "Hmm? You have a new person, Boss?" Dalen noticed the new person here.
"Mmhmm, she will be working for me for some time." Keith grinned.
"I see."
"Krystal, here." Alfia then handed an apron to her. On it was a cute pig.
"What's this?"
"Our uniform. We need to let the customers know about us." Alfia explained as she wore her apron.
"You guys actually wear this?"
"Mmhmm." The two girls nodded.
"..." Are you guys being serious? How could two princesses wear something so childish? Krystal turned to Keith. Did he brainwash them or something?
Alfia was strict, while Scarlet was devious. That was the feeling she got when talking with the two. Yet, they were acting like this was nothing?
Stolen novel; please report.
"Let's begin."
"Please, I would like to have a smoked meat wrap!"
"Soup for me!"
"I want to have chicken crepe!"
The moment Keith said those words, the orders went flying! It was as if a horde of monsters surrounded her, raining down their blows.
"Uh, give me a second." Krystal tried to write down all the words. Yet, more came to her after she finished writing it down. It was too much even for her! She glanced over to Scarlet and Alfia.
"I see. Please wait for your orders to be finished."
"Don't worry, we'll work on all of it."
The two were natural as they continued to jot down the orders. Krystal blinked. How are they this good? No one could have thought two princesses would be this good at taking customer orders!
"Alright! Break time!" Keith called out. They were going to take a half an hour break.
"Here you are." Crepes and soup were brought out.
"What's this?"
"Lunch." Keith grinned as he went back to the cart and started to set it up again.
"Also, make sure to learn how to order." Keith left that final note. That caused Krystal's eyes to twitch!
...
"Krystal and Keith! Fight!" When that was sounded, Krystal dashed at Keith. It was a ferocious speed as she waved her sword around.
His shield was raised; he blocked all her hits quickly as he muttered, "Come now. Are you really going to take your anger out here?"
"What do you mean? This is how I usually spar."
"Really?" There was a lot more killing intent going on! It seemed all that teasing had been focused on this one moment!
Keith continued to guard everything that was coming his way.
"What craziness."
"Did you see how they are moving?"
The students gasped at how fast they advanced.
"Break!" Tennol quickly shouted, which stopped the fight. Krystal took a deep huff as her eyes zeroed in on him. While she did,
"Was she really out to kill him?"
"That girl was out for blood."
"What a monster."
Krystal had shown a lot of bloodlust. Keith commented, "You should have waved your sword more angular. It was pretty easy to tell where it's going to land."
"Tch!" Krystal scoffed as she walked away. That only left the boy to shake his head.
After class ended,
"You're being quite the bully," Jack muttered. Keith was going all out against her. Does he really have a grudge against the girl? Like he was hounding her every day! Even at home, he was making her do many different things.
"It's better than having her focus on unnecessary things in her life," Keith muttered.
"Hmm?"
"I don't want her to focus on the things happening at home." To get something off your mind, the best thing to do is to do something else. Specifically for Krystal, he understood what to do. With him, it was so easy to get her mad at him.
"She's going to gut you."
"Like she can." Keith shrugged his shoulders; she couldn't land a clean blow even if she tried. As the two continued to the teleportation gate, a professor came over,
"Keith, you're here."
"Hello, professor. What do you need?"
"The principal is calling for you. It seemed there was some trouble with student Rustchil."
"Eh?" Keith and Jack had a blank look.
