Volume 14 Chapter 8: 

“Don’t you think today is a great day?”

“…Keith, are you really going to ignore what’s happening before us?” When they returned home, it was what you expected as Julius and the other kings were there. It was absurd, yet not at the same time. They were kings, but they had been on the island before. 

Carolyn frowned, “Father, why do you keep coming here?” There was something that had to be said. Alfia was the same mind as she held her head. And the two were not the only ones in this; Tristan and Licht were also here, 

“Father, you know you have a kingdom to run.” 

“Indeed, what you’re all doing is quite unbecoming of kings.” 

However, Julius waved his hand, “Please, as long as Thalia is at home, there’s no need for me to worry.” “Same here!”

“…” Do you have to say something like that? There was something they were really worried about. The wives were the ones who ran a tight ship. 

Also, aren't they going to kill you when you return home? That was the feeling everyone had as they stared at them. It was clear they knew about them skipping out on their duties.

Carolyn glanced around, “Where are Uncle Edmund and King Virel?” The two of them were not here at all. 

Julius explained, “Edmund said he had more things to do, while Virel said he needed to work on something. Why can’t you three be like them?” There were two perfect role models, and these two can’t seem to listen to them at all! What was going on with them? And the thought was enough to cause them to sigh. 

Julius then grabbed Keith by the shoulder, “What’s the matter, Uncle Julius?”

“Where do you think you’re going?!” 

“Going to go take a nap.” 

“Not when you guys haven’t made anything for me!”

“…” Keith’s eyes narrowed, “Are you kidding me right now?” “No, it’s not! Make it!" "Yeah!" "Mmhmm!"

The three kings quickly shouted as they stared at him. Keith rolled his eyes as he turned to their descendants, "Go deal with that!" Why am I the one always in this situation?"

"...You think we can?" 

"Come on!" 

“I think not.” Julius’s eyes widened as he turned to the door. That was when he saw Thalia, and she was not alone; Lindor was with him as well!

“Why are you two here?!” The two kings were baffled by their sudden appearance. 

Thalia snorted, “Do you think I wouldn’t notice how you continue to chase young Keith down like this?” It was obvious where this guy was going. And that was something she was going to stop right now! 

Thalia turned to Keith, “Sorry about this, Keith.” 

“There’s no problem, Aunty.” Keith knew it wasn’t this woman’s fault. It was a certain fellow's fault! 

“How could you be this wonderful. Thank goodness my Carolyn had gotten this.”

Thalia then noticed Eri, Carolyn, and Keith being together, “Oh my, do you have a family already?” That was something surprising to me. But that only caused Carolyn to blush, “Mother, you don’t need to say something like that.” “What a cutie.” Thalia wanted to pat the child on the head, but she quickly moved away and hid in his shoulders again. Keith stroked her head, “There’s no need to be so afraid. She’s Carolyn’s mother.” “Mmhmm, mhmmm.” Carolyn giggled. But that didn’t help her that much.

“Well, see y'all later!” Othniel laughed as the two kings were being dragged away. However, that was when Lindor tilted his head, “Othniel, you’re not out of the hook either.” ”Eh?” “Your wife is asking for you. From how she sounded, she seemed extremely pissed off.”

“…Are you kidding me?” Othniel slapped his head. His expression had paled as if he had seen a ghost. Keith shook his head as the three kings were dragged off his island. At this point, you guys are truly stupid. That was something that was not going to change.

Keith headed to the adventurers guild the next day. When he did so, the adventurers were giving him a greeting.

“Boss, are you going to open the cart today?” “It was so wonderful!” “Mmhmm!” The adventurers were raving about the food that they get to eat there. Keith shook his head, “Nope. I need to get more ingredients today.” Heading over to the quest board, it had been a while since he checked something out from there.  Usually, he wouldn’t take quests now. There was no need for him to do something like that any longer. He took them so that he could get some extra coins. But there was no need for this now. 

“Hmm? There’s a quest to get some lambton horns. There’s also some to get some magic stones.” There were some that had gotten the same close as him. Keith nodded as he headed off with this in mind. Before there was anything that could happen, “What are you doing?” Kaiser was staring at Erwin who was about to go out as well. “Umm, going to get some fresh air.” “Let me be clear, you’re not going to be following after the brat.” It was obvious to him this was his goal. “Why not?!” He wanted to follow him and get some food! It was the full proof plan but Kaiser shrugged, “...Foolish.” He didn’t hesitate to grab him by the head and drag him out! THis was by far the most idiotic plan he had witnessed.
