Volume 11 Chapter 9: Scarlet Rice

"When you think about it, it makes sense. Well, for Long Lihua." Long Lihua did have some similarities with Cadmus. Dragon people were pretty rare. But Ayaka was a different matter.

"...Now that you said it." Actually, who does Ayaka take after? This was difficult to tell; she wasn't like Setsuna and Hayate. It was the same with Yukiko; she certainly didn't take after Cadmus.

"Anyways, who's the little fella that's with you?" Now that they discussed this, it was time to get to know the new person on their island. Right now, he was sleeping on top of Mir.

"Ahh, he's the same species as Mir. He's really attached to me, so I brought him home." I can't tell them about the Samui. He said he helped with dealing with some powerful monsters. But never said it was the Samui. If they knew about this, then it could bring trouble to everyone. That was something that would bite him in the butt. Even Carolyn and Krystal gave him the eye.

"I see," Alfia and the others realized he was hiding something from them. But that was when Melor questioned, "But Keith, what kinds of foods did you guys eat?!"

"Eh?"

"Don't lie! You've been grinning ear to ear the whole entire time!" Melor and the rest noticed it. There was a continuous smile on his face when he talked. That could only mean a few things: food had to be one of them. Fried milk probably scratched the surface.

"Oh, he made a lot of food during the trip."

"Carolyn?!"

"What? You'll make it so it doesn't matter if they know." Carolyn knew this boy was eager. He would make it for them whenever he could. This was something he was quite normal with,

"True." Keith nodded to that. Some dishes were going to be cooked for today.

"Make them all."

"Hell no. That would take too much time! But I can make something for today." That was something that he didn't mind at all.

"Yippe!" The others cheered. It was time for them to eat delicious food again!

"Diana, you can come with me; I'll teach you how to make them." The spirit of nature would definitely make something nice with them.

"..." Are you really going to say that when we're watching them eat? Those babies were eating so happily as if it were the most delicious thing ever!

"Keith! I'm cute!" Nephele made a pout as she tugged his shirt. But that only caused Diana to shoo her out, "You're ugly. Scram!" Ruthless. She kicked her out.

Keith didn't say anything as he continued to cook. That only caused the others to sigh as they stared.

"Wahh!" Herrick was crying. That only caused Alfia to grab him by the collar, "Set up the dining room."

After an hour,

"Now, let's eat!"

"My goodness! The rice is so delicious!"

"The rice from there is about the same as how Fira used her magic on the plants."

"Damn! Ayaka and Long Lihua are so lucky!" Those girls get to eat quite delicious things.

"Mmhmm," Keith nodded. Those two girls were able to eat extremely delicious things. Keith added, "But I'm sure Diana would be able to make something quite delicious as well."

"I will meet your expectations." Diana was quite eager to find out as well.

"What kind of rice is this?" Scarlet noticed the red-colored rice.

"It's called scarlet rice. The more fire you put it under, then the more delicious it becomes."

"Why didn't you tell me? I could have torched it." Scarlet grinned.

"Umm, not advised. Because someone almost scorched me the last time."

"...I said I was sorry," Carolyn looked down, not daring to look up at the menacing look the boy was giving her.

"Haha," The others started to laugh as they saw this. It had been quite some time since they had done this.
