Volume 13 Chapter 1: 

Keith stretched his hand over his head as sounds of nibbling and the feeling of wetness rained on his neck. Slowly waking up, the man noticed that it was none other than the furball, Lei. He nibbled on his collar as he slept. 

Too adorable! The little baby was probably thinking about munching on some fried milk! Keith was going to cry from this, but he quickly covered his mouth while he stroked the baby's head. As he did, that was when another baby rolled on his face. It was none other than the residential snowball himself.  

"...You guys have such strange sleeping habits." Keith chuckled as he rubbed both their bodies. They were too adorable and fluffy. But as he savored this feeling, another one showed up. It was none other than residential spirit, Fira. 

"Cookies."

"..." These three. He could quickly tell what all three were dreaming about. 

It was time for him to head to the kitchen and prepare breakfast. And there was another person there as he washed his hands. 

“Thank you for all your help as always, Diana.” 

“Mmhmm. You don’t need to worry about anything.” Diana smiled. 

“Then can you get to work with smoking the bacon?” Keith smiled as he got to work on the others, “Today, another buffet style.” The festival ended only yesterday. Despite this, he was going to be making meals for 20 people. A massive slab of meat was placed on the table. 

"Understood." Diana chuckled as she took the meat out to the smoker. While Keith continued to prepare, 

“Big brother.” Leon, Laura, and Long Hao entered the kitchen while rubbing their eyes. Those three were still in their pajamas as they entered. Keith softened, "Did I wake you guys up?"

"Mmhmm."

"How about you guys go to sleep some more." 

“With big brother.” The three grappled his legs like a bunch of koalas. Clearly, they didn't want to leave his side. 

“How about you help me make breakfast for today? Do you guys want some mini chocolate pancakes?”

“Pancakes!” “Chocolate!” Pancakes were already sweet. Adding the chocolate into the mix would make it even sweeter. Keith chuckled, “Let me do it.” He started to do some things,

“Kitty!” Keith had made a chocolate pancake shaped like a kitten.

“Do you guys want an animal?” Keith smiled. 

“We want Mir!” "Lei!" 

“Okay then.” Keith chuckled as he slowly made it into the shape of the animal they wanted. Once he was done, the three children snacked on the food. Keith then started to work on the food as quick as possible. That was when May arrived, 

“Young master, I will bring it to the dining room. Follow me, you three." The three kids were nibbling on those mini pancakes so quickly. Chipmunks. That was the only thing the two could think as they continued to cook. 

“Thank you as always.” Keith smiled as she brought the large containers to the dining room. It was easy to do so. That was when Keith continued to work on the food. As he did so, that was when someone came over, 

“Lady Lilith, hello.”

“Mmhmm,” It was a surprise to see Lilith here. But then she looked down at the food, “What are you making right now, Child?”

“Some baked bread. It goes well with the condensed milk and other goodies.” Keith smiled as he placed the bread into the oven. And he was not done as he worked on the other things. Lilith didn’t say anything as she watched him work. 

“Child, I just want to say be good to my granddaughter.”

“Eh?”

“I think you’ve noticed that my granddaughter has faced some hardship throughout her life.”

“...” This was true. He had heard everything about Scarlet. She had seen some things that couldn’t be seen by others. 

“But I’ve seen her smile a lot here. So please treat her well.” Lilith smiled. This was the warmness of a grandmother for her granddaughter.”

“You don’t need to worry about anything, I will take care of Scarlet.” Keith smiled, “After all, she’s someone living on the island with me.”

“...She’s right, you’re kinda silly as well.” 

“Eh?”

“Nothing. But what’s that smell?” As she was talking with Keith, she noticed this tantalizing aroma. I was strong and alluring as her nose couldn’t help but flare up when she smelled it. 

“Ahh! That’s the bacon! It should be done smoking!” Keith quickly headed out and brought the bacon back into the kitchen. That was when she was directed to a big slab of meat on the table. 

“Incredible!” Lilith couldn’t help but marvel at the beauty placed before her. It was quite the impressive sight of meat before her. Keith smiled, “It’s going to be our breakfast.” Keith slowly cut the bacon into thin cuts. And that big slab was turned into a bunch of small cuts.  

“Lady Lilith, do you want a piece?”

“Is it fine?”

“It’s fine.” Keith grinned mischievously, “No one would know.”

“Then thank you.” She found the boy quite mischievous as she took a bite, “My, it’s quite flavorful and delicious!” That was something he didn’t think before. But it was more than that.

“Right?” Keith smiled. 

While he did, 

“Keith, what is that smell?!” Derek came down, and they were not alone. As a bunch of people came, the bacon smell slowly engulfed the entire floor. Keith smiled, “Breakfast is ready. Can someone call Herrick and the others outside?”
