Volume 9 Chapter 37: Dessert Section
“Now we can return with the espresso machine,” Alvin grinned. With the equipment placed down in the factory, it was time for them to return home.
“Good, because I need to try it,” Michael grinned.
“...You know you can put it down, right?” The whole time Keith taught the chocolatiers, this man held the espresso machine on his shoulders.
“Of course not! I need to show off how strong I am!” He needed to show off his strength.
“...” The only thing you’re showing off is how idiotic you are. What the citizens thought was him being a muscle head.
"..."
"Little brother?"
“…” Keith said nothing as he walked to the estate. Alvin and Michael looked at one another before following the boy. And when they returned to the estate, Carolyn and Krystal were playing with Leon and Laura.
“What’s that?” Carolyn was the first one to question. The other three stared at that machine in Michael’s hand; it was eye-catching. When you compare it to the muscular commander, the machine made him look small.
"..."
“Keith?” Carolyn and Krystal noticed the quiet man. The two girls turned to Alvin, who shook his head. Hearing the noise, everyone came out to check.
“Where should I put this thing?”
“In the kitchen,” That’s the only place this thing should go.
“...Can it even fit?” The backdoor didn’t seem large enough for it to go through.
Michael glared, “You two fools, help me out!” Derek and Eric were watching from the side. They couldn’t even hide their laughter either!
“Alright,” The two and Alvin grabbed each side of the machine. They were prepared to push it through the door. However,
“Don’t push it too hard, or we’ll break it!” Alvin warned. It was not something they could force through.
“What are we supposed to do?!” Michael roared, “Kid, come and help us!”
“…”
“KID!” Michael continued to roar, but Keith didn’t listen as he strolled into the mansion.

“Did that brat just ghost me?”
“You know how he is when he’s deep in thought,” William shrugged.
“…Is Keith fine?” Violet was concerned for the boy. This was the first time she had seen the boy like this.
“Oh, he becomes like that from time to time. It’s pretty rare, but it’s normal.” Keith had those rare moments where he was super deep in thought, zoning throughout the entire time. Rare, but it was something that occurred a few times.
“Our voices aren’t going to get through to him. However, it will die away after some time,” Keith would return to normal after he mulled it over.
“Anyways, William! Get over here and help us!” Michael turned to the father.
“I thought you said it wasn’t heavy.” William knew about what was going on in the city. This man tried to act tough, yet he was acting meek.
“It’s getting heavy now!” The weight was now getting to him after carrying it for so long.
“…Idiot.” William sighed as he walked over. With five people trying to make a move now, it should have gone in.
“At this point, we’re going to break the door.”
“Then go through the front than the back,” The front door was much larger than the back.
“Why didn’t we roll with that sooner?”
During dinner,
“…” Keith continued to have a spaced-out look when he ate. The others looked at him strangely.
“Okay, isn’t it time we should worry about him?” Thalia nudged Sophia. The woman’s face showed that this was not supposed to happen for this long.
“Big Brother!” Leon was the one who tried to break it as he tugged on his shirt.
“…Should I do it?” A slight murmur came from his mouth.
“Huh?”
“Should I make a dessert shop?”
“…What?” Carolyn’s eyes glazed when she heard that. The others were the same. They have heard something that they shouldn’t have. But Keith continued to stare aimlessly as he thought.
“Nah, it wouldn’t work.”
“Make it work!” Carolyn quickly muttered as she grabbed him by the shoulders.
“Carolyn!” Thalia gasped.
“That’s it, Carolyn! Shake him!” Derek chimed in. There was something that they couldn’t let go of. What he said was outrageous!
“Huh? What I say?” Keith blinked as he looked around, “Huh? When did we get to dinner?”
“Me and Krystal push you here.” He would have been in his room the entire time if they didn’t. But that was not important right now!
“Now talk! What were you mumbling about with food?”
“Oh, it was nothing,” Keith waved it off. That idea was an afterthought. But that only caused the girl to shake him even more than before!
“Talk!”
“I was thinking about making a dessert shop.”
“Like the chocolate one?”
“Oh no, this one will be different from that. I will be making cakes and mousses. Maybe some jelly and also…you guys didn’t hear the last part.” Carolyn’s eyes glazed after he had said all those things. It was impossible to get that out of her mind.
“How about you make it?” Sophia was quite interested in hearing all those different desserts.
“Umm, I just got back, and I feel like it would be tiresome.” The chocolate shop was also being built.
“Son, Please!” Sophia begged. And that was when Carolyn held his hand, “Please Keith!”
“…” The last nail was,
“Please, Big Brother!”
“…Ugh.” That did it.
“But it’s not going to be done in-“
“Orin and the others would go to heaven and earth for you!” Sophia added.
“And the wor-“
“We can have Ralph headhunt a few people! Coyler definitely also has people to do so as well! May, you can do so, right?”
“Of course! Leave it to me!” May grinned. She was quite enthusiastic about the dessert shop.
“…” Keith sighed, “Then tomorrow. We’re not going to have a normal breakfast then.”
“Eh?”
“I’m going to be making a lot of different types of desserts. You guys have to try them all.” If he is really going to do something like that, he will need their help.
“…”
“Yippe!” Carolyn quickly held the two kids, “We’re going to be eating a lot of things tomorrow!
“You guys best be prepared for tomorrow then. I won’t be holding anything back,”
