Volume 4: Chapter 11:

"Tch!" Keith sucked his teeth as he returned home. The expression on his face was something. As he walked, no one dared to get in his way. Either get hurt or walk away.

None shall get close to him!

I couldn't encounter anything. Keith couldn't find a spark for the menu. Keith sighed as he continued home.

"Keith, what's with the long face?" Sarah tilted her head as she stared at Keith.

"I couldn't find anything that could help me make a menu," Everywhere he went, it didn't help him. He went to the stores that allowed him to go. But they have the same ingredients as the ones he used.

"Don't worry about it, Keith! You'll get something." Sarah pumped her fist when she saw the sad expression Keith had.

"Mmhmm! I'm not going to give up!"

...

It was the usual morning on their island. Keith was making breakfast as the rest woke up.

When Keith brought the food to the table, he noticed Gabriel and Jack were drenched in sweat,

"Woah, you guys trained hard,"

"I had to go all out. If I didn't, how am I supposed to beat Gabriel?" Jack sighed. The two sparred with one another outside. But it was one-sided. Gabriel was much better than him.

"The two of you should take a light shower. You're going to smell if you don't." Keith laughed.

"But-"Jack and Gabriel turned to Cadmus, who was eyeing the food like no tomorrow. His expression said it all.

He was going to eat all of it.

"Relax. I'll make sure Grandpa Cadmus doesn't eat your portion." Keith understood what the two thought. Jack and Gabriel nodded as they went to the showers to clean themselves.

"Keith, I need some food!" Cadmus roared with an eager look.

"Stop acting so immature!" Sohma smacked the guy in the back of the head. How could he act like this when there were students around? And they were much more mature than the latter!

"I'm hungry!" Cadmus stated.

"Wait a bit," Keith shook his head. It didn't take long before Jack and Gabriel returned. Like that, the eating started!

Cadmus questioned Keith, "Keith, when is the stall opening?"

"Not any time soon," Keith was still lost in thought about what to make. There were a lot of ingredients he was missing if he thought about it.

He wanted to have a strong impact like his bakery.

"Tell me when you're going to open. I'm going to buy everything up!" Cadmus stated with a grin.

"..." Yeah. I'm not going to tell you anything. Keith wasn't going to let Cadmus hog all of the food. That was insanity.

"Also, I need to talk to you about something," Cadmus's expression turned stern. Everyone could tell it was something heavy.

"You're really going to ask him that?" Sohma grabbed his head while Aidiun had a wry look.

"What do you need from me?" Keith tilted his head.

"Make me a lunchbox!"

"..." Lunchbox? You made it sound like life and death? Everyone thought it was some sort of legendary quest.

Is food the only thing in this dragon's mind?!

Keith sipped his tea, "Grandpa Cadmus, I can't make it. I've already prepared everyone's share."

He usually prepared the food the day before so he could cook it and toss it into his storage, keeping it hot and warm.

"Not fair!" Cadmus started to jump up and down like a little kid!

"Seriously?! Why are you acting like this?!" Diana scolded him.

"I want a lunchbox!" Cadmus continued to roar. But Keith shook his head as he turned to the rest,

"Get your things. We're off," Keith didn't need to deal with this. That was going to be the adults' job to handle it.
