Volume 8 Chapter 45: Why Couldn’t It Have That As Well?

"Guys, you need to calm down on the chocolate." Keith held his head as he stared at everyone.

"It's too dang delicious!" Jack muttered as he snapped a chocolate bar into his mouth. That chocolate was a huge hit. Actually, it was too much of a hit with everyone!

"You guys still need to chill out," Keith groaned. Especially Faelyn and Scarlet. Those two had been munching on those chocolate left and right. No chocolate bar was safe before them.

"Especially you guys as well." The great spirits weren't doing so well either. Nephele and Udine ate a little too much while Diana tried to hide it, but he would find the chocolate in the jar less whenever the great spirit passed it.

"..." Everyone looked away, but that only caused Keith to shake his head. You think you can act ignorant to this? A sigh came out of his mouth as he walked out,

"Where are you going, Keith?"

"To the second island to train." He needed to do some training after eating some chocolate as well. Yes, Keith also ate a lot of chocolate. Not having it for so long made him miss it. And I need to work all of that off.

With him leaving, everyone took a sigh of relief,

"Thank goodness!"

"I thought for sure he was going to take away all of our chocolate."

"How could he do this after creating such an amazing sweet."

"I blame you guys!" Herrick pointed at Alfia and Scarlet.

"What?" "How is it our fault!"

"You guys were the ones who kept asking him to make it!" Alifa and Scarlet kept nudging Keith to do so.

"But Nephele did the same thing!"

"Hey! Don't bring me into this. I tried to make it myself, but I kinda made a mess." Yes, this girl decided it was her time to make chocolate, but that only caused the mixture to fly everywhere. Keith and Diana had a heck of a time cleaning it.

"You're never going near it, you hear me." Diana's eyes turned cold, being reminded of the scene.

"Then you should have helped me out!" Diana was the best cook out of all of them!

"..."

Keith didn't know what was happening as he headed to the second island.

"Ahh, so fine." The air was gentle and calming. Well, if you didn't account for the construction happening around.

"Thank you for everything, Skar."

"No prob! But are you sure you only want the base to be done?" Keith had requested them to only do the base of the pergola. Keith nodded, "Don't worry. The rest of it would be done by us. We can definitely finish it."

"Understood." Skar nodded, then questioned, "By the way, how is there a giant tree here?" The tree was really too eye-catching.

"Trade secret," Keith looked at the moonlight tree. He touched the bark and felt the mana absorbing into his body. So gentle. It was soft and soothing to the touch. Looking up,

Perfect to pick. Some moonlight persimmons were ready to be picked. A way to tell that they were ripe was the glow it had when the sun shined down. As Keith continued to pick it up,

Huh? Why is there a silver one? Keith noticed a silver persimmon; it was at the very top of the tree. Picking it up, the weight was much different from the normal one.

Fira, can you come over here?

"Hmm? What's the matter, Keith?" Fira had been working in the garden.

"Is this edible?" First thing to make sure of was whether or not this fruit was edible.

"It is."

"That's good." Now that the main concern was out of the way, "Have you seen something like that?"

"Nope," Fira shook her head.

"..." Diana, can you come here?

"Is there something the matter?"

"I found this on the tree? Is it supposed to be like this?"

"..." Diana tilted her head, "...That's a variant."

"A variant?!" Keith blinked. Plants have that? Actually, it made a lot of sense; if meat had them, why couldn't fruits and vegetables?

"Yes, but this is a surprise. It's rarer for vegetables to be a variant."

"Umm, what should I do with it?"

"You can eat it."

"I can?" Keith's eyes glazed as he stared at the fruit. He was quite interested in it. However, he placed it into his storage. I will save it for later.

"Back to training!" Keith raised his hand in the air. It was time for him to train, or so he thought.

"Keith, there's a letter for you," Diana raised it.

"Huh?" Someone sent me a letter? He got a letter from his family just yesterday. Opening it up,

Huh? It was weird; when he opened it, nothing was on it. Instead, it only told him a location and told him to go alone. Wait a moment, this location. Keith blinked as he knew where this was.

"I can't believe it here." Keith looked up to see it was none other than Helen's shop. As he entered the building,

"Good evening," Helen nodded.

"…" Keith took out the letter, "I'm here for this?"

"Yes, the gentleman in the corner wishes to speak with you." "Thank you." Keith nodded as he headed to the side, and that was when he saw him.

"Oscar?"
