Volume 3.5 Chapter 12:

"Keith, what are you doing right now?" Diana tilted her head. Keith had taken out vegetables.

"I'm going to prepare the side dish," Keith commented. A side of mashed potatoes was good. It was a simple process. He placed the potatoes in the steamer, letting them steam. It was now time for the main dish.

"Look at these steaks. Delicious, right?" Keith smiled as he brought out some rib-eye steaks. They had the perfect marbling on them. He could tell they were going to taste amazing. And he wasn't alone.

Diana and the other two stared in amazement.

"Keith, cook!" Fira shook back and forth.

"Alright, you don't have to worry," Keith laughed. Her eyes said it all. She wanted to eat it now. The process of cooking the steak had always been the same. Get a perfect medium rare. That was a simple process. But then came the fun part,

"I'm going to baste them with this herb and butter," Keith stated. This would make it incredibly delicious! Keith tossed in a knob of butter. He also threw in the rose herbs as well.

After a while, Keith took a spoon and started to baste the steaks in the herb and butter mixture. As he did that, the smell coming from the steak was incredible. Diana's expression softened as she stared at the steaks.

Keith continued to baste it for a few seconds before he placed it on the plate.

"The steaks are done!" Keith smiled. He took out some milk and butter, heating the two together. While he did that, he slowly poured the mixtures into the potatoes as he mashed them. Some salt and pepper. He sprinkled the two seasoning on top,

It became a smooth mixture.

"Dinner is ready!" Keith stated with a bright smile.

"Yay!" Diana and the others screamed out. But they quickly turned around to see Cadmus,

"Seriously, how do you know everything?" Keith shook his head. At this point, he couldn't be surprised.

"My sixth sense is incredible!" Cadmus proudly stated. There was no point in hiding it!

"Let's eat," Keith chuckled. He already prepared a plate for him. He had a hunch he was going to come here.

"So tasty!"

"Meat is the best!"

"So tender and juicy!"

"It tastes so much better!"

Diana was in awe at how delicious it was. Cadmus was so happy about the food as well. Keith laughed,

"The herbs are a good compliment to the steak."

"I'm going to be searching for more ingredients as well," Keith stated with a serious look. He only found some herbs. But there was no way he was going to stop.

"Go for it!" Cadmus gave him a thumbs up.

...

Keith was all smiles as he left the city again. He had taken on two quests. In his hands were a bunch of herbs. He went on a spree and collected as many herbs as possible.

And it was exciting. Not only that, Keith found another variation of an apple.

The forest was loaded with different types of food! And he was happy that he found them. Keith quickly returned to the adventurer's guild,

"Madison, here are all the materials," Keith stated as he handed the bags to Madison. Madison stared at the two big bags in front of her.

"There are silver lilies and purple heart herbs. Thank you for all of it," Madison nodded and handed the coins over to him. Keith went back and stared at the quest board.

I found rosemary, dill, and green apples. What else will I find? Keith was curious. Then he noticed a quest asking him to take care of monsters.

"Madison, I will take this one," Keith smiled.

Madison looked at the quest and nodded, "Understood, please be safe,"

"Thank you!" Keith set off on the quest again. He walked around the forest again. I need to find the monster.

"Roar!" Keith's ears perked up when he heard that. Keith quickly hid in the bushes as he stared at what was going on.

And there he saw a giant rooster! It was spraying fire like no tomorrow! It was a sight to behold.

Hmm, I think I should have one of them practice. And this person would be the perfect person for the job. Keith quickly raised his hand.

"Po!" And what came out was a Samui.

"I missed you as well, Inti," Keith laughed as he hugged the big baby. But then he smiled,

"I got a job for you today,"

"Po!" Inti shouted. He was ready. Keith pointed at the giant rooster,

"Defeat that,"
