Volume 6.5 Chapter 40: Does He Not Realize What's Going To Happen Next?
"Hmm?" The three spirits tilted their heads. Was there something else he planned to make? Keith explained, "I'm going to make a special syrup."
"Syrup?" "Yes. It's simple to make and can be used for various types of desserts. It's really sweet and delicious." Cheong. It was a mixture of fruit and sugar to make a delicious syrup.
"Sweets." Nephele and Udine muttered when they heard Keith's words. He had them at sweet; the rest went out the window. Keith grinned as he took out four fruits; Orange, lemon, blue plums, and apple.
The first step was to deseed the fruits that had them. Once that was accomplished, it was time to add sugar and fruit into a glass jar.
"You're using that much sugar?!" Nephele's eyes widened in disbelief when she saw the amount of sugar going into the jar. She had seen how he used it when baking cookies. But this was way more than she had ever imagined!
"To make Cheong, you need an equal amount of fruit and sugar." Keith smiled as he continued to pour the sugar in. I need to cover the top with sugar. That way, mold won't form.
"How long will it take for the Cheong to be ready?" Diana questioned.
"2-4 months." Keith thought about it. It would depend a lot on the fruit.
"2 months?! Why does it take so long?!"
"We can taste test it sooner. But it would lack the fruit flavor." The flavor of the fruit wouldn't mix into the syrup. Keith shook his head, "Good things don't come without a price." All good food would take some time. After finishing it up, Keith placed the jars in a cold space.
"So, Udine."
"Hmm?" Udine looked up; she had a piece of galette in her mouth.
"Can you help us out now?"
"Help with what?"
"The seed." Diana clutched her head. This girl really forgot about why they called her here.
"Sure. What do you need my help with?"
"The others don't know about us being a great spirit. And they shouldn't. Only two students know about us. Dorm mother is used as a cover."
"Oh, then you can call me Dorm Mother Udine." Udine nodded as she also questioned, "Will I get food like this?"
"Of course! You will have three meals every day. Also, you can eat the fruits here as well." Keith grinned.
"Mmhmm," Udine was content, "Will I also stay at the same home with Nephele and Udine?" She noticed the building that was close to the garden.
"Sure." Diana's home had more than enough space to hold three great spirits.
"Keith, what was that magic?" As they discussed her living arrangements, Aidiun came to the backyard. Keith laughed, "Professor Aidiun, you saw that?"
"It was a giant pillar of water. I could see it from the academy."
"Ahaha. It was something. Also, I would like to introduce another member to our island. Her name is Udine, and she will be a dorm mother." Keith introduced Udine.
"..." Aidiun blinked, "Is she-"
"Yes." Diana and Nephele nodded. He wanted to ask whether Udine was a great spirit. And she was.
"I see. Nice to meet you. I'm Aidiun, the dorm manager." Aidiun bowed.
"Mmhmm." Udine nodded.
"Alright, I should prepare dinner now." Keith raised his hand into the air as he was ready for dinner. But as he was going to do that,
"Does he not realize what's going to happen next?" Aidiun questioned. This kid was being too nonchalant with all of this. Diana shook her head, "I think it will only occur when those two return home."
