Volume 5 Chapter 4: Who’s The One Watching Over Him Again?

"Ahem, Everyone! I have a special announcement!" Keith clapped his hands together. Most of them were resting in the main lobby of the mansion.

"..." "What's with the silence?"

"The expression you had when you returned said it all." Carolyn and the rest noticed Keith's expression when he returned.

Keith coughed. Was it really that noticeable?

Jack was the first to ask, "Is it going to be a new dish?"

Keith shook his head, "No. It's not going to be a new dish. Come to the dining room. Jack, call Arlo and Gabriel."

"Alright." Like that, everyone was brought to the dining room.

"What do you want to talk about, Keith?" Gabriel tilted his head,

"I called all of you here because we have another person joining our island," Keith stated.

"Eh?" The others tilted their heads. Someone wants to join the island? This was surprising since no one wanted to join since Gabriel and Arlo.

"Mmhmm! And it's time to introduce him!" Keith clapped his hands again. When he did that, the person entered the room. The expressions on everyone's faces changed when they saw who it was.

"Why is he joining?!" Jack was the first to say that as he pointed at the person. But that caused the person to scoff,

"What about it?"

"I know you guys are surprised. But let's welcome Herrick to the island!" Herrick was the one who was going to join their island.

There were no claps. Just an eerie and awkward silence.

"..." Figures. Keith sighed.

"Keith, can we speak for a moment?" This was not a request. Jack and Gabriel grabbed him from the side. Sarah turned to Herrick,

"Please wait here for a moment, Herrick. Also, please have some refreshments." She turned to Fira, "Fira, can you get the cookies and tea?"

"Understood!" Fira nodded as she flew off. Like that, everyone went to Keith's room.

Keith blinked, "Wait, who's the one watching over him again?"

"Fira?"

"..." Without hesitation, Keith dashed to the dining room.

"What's the matter?!" Keith questioned. It was only a minute. No problem could occur in a minute, right?!

Keith and the rest saw Herrick and Fira munching on some cookies. And the beastman stared at the cookie in shock.

Herrick stared at Fira, "What kind of sorcery is this?!"

"That's a cookie," Fira stated with a smile.

"A cookie? How could a cookie taste so delicious?!" Herrick was shocked by this round object.

"Because I helped make them!" Fira had a proud smile as she declared. She helped Keith out when he baked this batch of cookies.

"You can make something like this? What are you?"

"I'm the amazing Fira!" Fira stuck her chin up.

"...Are you strong?" "Hmm?"

"Okay! There will be no sudden attacks!" Keith jumped between the two. He could already tell what Herrick was going to do next. He was going to pump the brakes to that.

Herrick paused and nodded. Sighing in relief, Keith turned to the others, and they gave him a peculiar look.

"Herrick, you can go choose your room."

"Understood." Herrick nodded as he started to look at the available rooms. When he left, Jack held his head,

"Are we going to have never-ending problems?"

He could see it now.

Keith laughed, "There's nothing to worry about! Let's see what he does!"

"..." The others gave him another look.
