Volume 12 Volume 12 Chapter 41: 

"Bleh! You're always with these kinds of secrets!" Carolyn stuck out her tongue, pouting at this boy.

“Child, you know sometimes secrets are meant to be shared.” Finrandir tapped his shoulders. 

Keith shrugged, “Sometimes it’s more fun for me to see you guys wonder than to give the answers.” He found them wondering and questioning much more enjoyable. 

“Evil! He’s an evil man!” 

"Who said I wasn't an evil person." Keith grinned as he sat down and took a bite of a cookie, "What can you guys do about it?" 

"..." So evil! 

“Definitely your son.” Finrandir and Othniel stared at William. But the man shrugged, “Not my problem.” It was going to be for the others. He was fine, wondering what his son had prepared for them.  

"That's because you always get to have his delicious food. Your tastebuds had forgotten what tasted horrible." Julius's eyes narrowed. His tastebud had been refined from the brat's cooking. 

"Indeed." Edmund nodded to that. 

Cedric added, "Your entire family has been enhanced." 

"..." There was really nothing to discuss about this. 

"I'm going to prepare dinner now. I'm feeling fish for today. Would everyone be fine with aqua rice, grilled salmon, and vegetable tempura on the side?" 

"Yes!" Gabriel and the other students nodded as the man headed into the kitchen. The adults tilted their heads. 

Aqua rice?

Grilled salmon?

Vegetable tempura? 

What were all those words?

“Alfia, what is he talking about?” This was the first time he had heard all of this. He was quite interested to find out. 

“Things.”  

"..." Are you pulling a Keith on us right now? Everyone seemed to think the same thing, and the other students wouldn't discuss it. 

That only made the adults eager to find out! 

In the kitchen,

“Diana, Nephele, Udine, going to need a lot of help with today’s dinner.” 

“Mmmhm!” “You can count on us!” "Yeah." The three understood his trouble as they were also prepared for this. 

"Good. Udine, I want you to deal with the aqua rice. Nephele, slice the salmon into good fillets. Diana, you will work on the cloud pig soup and some sides." 

"Understood!" The dorm mothers got to work while Keith prepared the fried vegetable tempura. This one was simple and dangerous at the same time. The first thing to do was to julien the cucumbers and the carrots. He took some towels and pat dry the vegetables. Water and oil would become fireworks! Drying them, he tossed them into the batter and stirred them up. That was when he poured it into the oil, letting it fry. After some time, a crisp pancake came out from the oil. 

“Good! Now I need to do that about 50 times.” Keith chuckled as he continued to do so. The same was true with Nephele and the others. After some time, 

“Young Master, do you need my help to move the food?” May entered the kitchen. 

"Thank you. Go ahead and use the cart to do so." There was a cart for a reason. He brought the food over to the dining room, and the people were surprised. That was when they all had their meal, 

“Keith, where did you learn to cook like this?!” Sophia had never seen such delicious food before. Keith grinned, “I used the ingredients I found on the island I went to.”

“So delicious!” Finrandir and Othniel loved the food. 

Why doesn't he cook this as well? Finrandir had already tried the skewers. But this was even more so! 

Othniel tried his best to continue eating left and right of all the food in his way! After finishing their meal, 

“So, where are all of you guys staying?” Now, there was something that needed to be said. His family was staying here. The others? He really didn't know where they were going?

"Of course, we're staying here!" Cedric muttered, “My little gem is staying here, so I’m also staying here!” 

“...” Lionel’s eyes twitched. 

“...Okay.”

“Ahem, since my daughter is here, I shall stay here as well.” “Same.” The three kings were in agreement with one another.

“You sure? My beds aren’t like the ones in the kingdom. Please don’t have any high expectations.” He had a feeling that they would never be compared.

“It’s fine, child; as long as we have somewhere to sleep, it’s good.” Lindor shook his head. But that was when William muttered, “You guys just want to stay here for the food!” That was the only reason why they were doing this. Screw the bed! The food was the thing they cared about! 

“Ah, Keith, if so many people can stay, can you leave a room on the ground for my grandma?" Scarlet asked. 

“Oh, sure.”

“Child, is your father not coming?” Finrandir questioned. It seemed he knew about Scarlet’s father. But she shook, “Father said he had things to do, so he won’t be able to make it.”

“I see.” The group continued to eat before they all went to their own rooms to take a nap. On the second island, the adults were having some drinks in the pergola.
