Volume 4: Chapter 35: Lemon Pepper Orc Steak
"I'm surprised he would take these quests." Groa looked down at the quests Keith took. Those quests paid a little.
Madison shook her head, "Keith doesn't care about the coins."
"Hmm?"
"That kid has more than enough coins," Dennis added.
"Eh?"
"Groa, you're lucky Keith didn't go all out against you." Madison shook his head.
"What do you mean?" He didn't go all out against me? Groa needed more information. What did he mean?
"I take it that you didn't see the fight?"
"What fight?"
"You know the duel between the two nobles?"
"I heard about it. But I didn't see it." He never saw the fight. But everyone was talking about it like no tomorrow. It seemed the person who fought was crazy intense. He could even use grand-level magic.
"Well, the one you fought was him," Madison revealed.
"Huh?"
"If that kid used his magic, you would have been toast." Dennis and the others nodded to that.
"..." Did I miss something great?!
...
The first quest was to deal with a den of orcs. It was a simple task. Keith continued to head deeper into the forest. The higher the rank, the deeper he had to enter.
There they are. Keith smirked as he stared at the orcs. They were minding their own business. It was like the time he fought them before. These monsters were equipped with clubs.
I should take them off. Keith should get used to the added speed from the bracelets.
Let's go! Keith dashed off from the tree. He was like a rocket as he sliced off an orc's head.
"Hmpf!" Not letting others react, he fired off multiple magic spears at them, blowing them up one by one! The orcs didn't have a chance to fight back. Lightning spears came flying at them like no tomorrow!
"I hunted a lot of orcs today," Keith stated proudly.
"That's great!" Orc meat was delicious.
"I'll make some steak today." It was decided like that.
"Cool!"
"I'll go get some vegetables." Keith smiled as he walked out to the garden.
"Keith!"
"Fira, how are the vegetables?"
"Delicious!"
Keith laughed, "That's great."
He walked over to the horse, "How are your wounds?"
"Ngeh!" The horse grunted as it walked around Keith.
Keith laughed, "That's great. Your wounds are better." He could tell the horse's wounds were healed for the most part.
"Ngeh!"
"Then I will let you off the island."
"..."
"Don't get caught again." Keith shook his head. Before he could bring the horse out, "Ngeh!"
"Hmm? What's the matter?" The horse wasn't budging from his spot.
"He said his hoof still hurts." Fira translated.
"I see. Then you can stay here for a few more days." Keith scratched his head.
"Ngeh."The horse returned to sitting on the ground, eating at the grass. Keith smiled as he headed to the kitchen.
"I should make some lemon pepper orc steak. I need some peppercorns and lemon zest." Keith took out a lemon and started to peel the skin off. He diced it into bits.
As Keith let the steaks bake in the oven, he got to work on the other dishes. But, "I know you guys are excited, but don't think about trying to touch it."
