<span style="font-weight:400">"Miyuki." Keith walked up to Miyuki, who looked seriously peeved.
<span style="font-weight:400">"How about you give Mir a one-time break."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Bo!" Miyuki gave a cold grunt.
<span style="font-weight:400">"He learned his lesson when he chased after me. Did you not?" Keith turned to Mir.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Po! Po! Po!" Mir quickly shouted. No need toprehend what he was saying. His voice and tone were enough to make anyone understand that was a yes.
<span style="font-weight:400">"See, he understands." Keith turned back to Miyuki.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Bo." But Miyuki made a low growl. She wasn''t satisfied with this. Keith added, "How about this. He isn''t allowed to eat vegetables for a week?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Bo!" Mir heard something he shouldn''t have. For the Samuis, vegetables were their favorite treat. And that included the babies. It was a delicious meal.
<span style="font-weight:400">Taking it away would be a blow to them!
<span style="font-weight:400">"Po!" Miyuki liked the idea as she nodded.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Alright, one week." Keith nodded and got her agreement. Miyuki was happy and nudged his body.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Alright. I will watch Inti and the others for a bit." Miyuki needed time to eat. And when that happened, Keith and Aria would babysit the others.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Po!" Miyuki strolled towards the herd. When that happened, the four little snowballs looked at him cutely.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Aww, there, there. Learn from this. Don''t ever make your mother mad." Keith said with a stern expression. And it seemed they understood as they nodded. Mother is scary when angry!
<span style="font-weight:400">Like that, Keith started to watch over them. Cloud slept on the grass, and Lily was ying with Aria. And Inti was messing around with the frisbee.
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith patted Mir''s head when he noticed how downcasted he was, "Miyuki isn''t mad at you. She was worried about you running away."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Po." Mir understood. But it looked up, "Po."
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith gave a smile, "No."
<span style="font-weight:400">Mir gave him a cute tilt plus a nudge. But Keith wasn''t budging, "You still have to be punished for leaving without telling Miyuki. So no vegetables for a week." Even if he understood, that didn''t mean he shouldn''t be punished.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Po! Po!" Mir jumped into Keith''sp and moved around, trying to act cuter. But Keith shook his head, "Sorry. But being cute isn''t going to help you in this situation." He didn''t want Miyuki to be mad at him.
<span style="font-weight:400">It was asking for trouble.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Po!" Mir cried. But this was something Keith had to put his foot down. He was afraid the others would follow his lead. That was something he didn''t want to happen.
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith continued toy around the grass, watching the kids. But that all came to a stop after Miyuki returned.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Shiro," Keith walked over to him, "I''m going to head deeper into the forest this time," This was the other reason why Keith came to the forest this time.
<span style="font-weight:400">He scoured the forest for quite some time now. But it was only the outside perimeter. He hadn''t gone deeper into it. And he wanted to do it this time.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Bo."
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith nodded and asked, "Have you entered the deeper sections of the forest before?" He was curious about it. He wanted to prepare as much as possible.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Bo."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm? What do you mean we don''t need to worry about it?" Keith was confused. The Samui was considered to be one of the strongest monsters ever. And Michael stated the deeper they entered the forest, the more dangerous it became.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Po Po!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"You made a deal?" Keith was surprised. He wanted to ask more about it, but Shiro looked away, not wanting to be asked.
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith sighed, "Aria, let''s go." There was no point in asking him for more information.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ho!" Aria shouted as she was ready to go in. But they weren''t going in there alone.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Po!" Mir came and tackled him. Keith frowned, "You can''te with us."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Bo!" Mir gave a pleading look.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Do you not remember what happenedst time?" Because I haven''t. Mir gave him a heart attack.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Bo Bo Bo!" Mir bit into Keith''s clothes, not wanting to be left out. But while he was doing that, Keith was in turmoil. If Keith could do it, he would bring Mir with him.
<span style="font-weight:400">But he was too weak.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Po!" Before Keith could bring him back to Miyuki, Shiro turned his head and shouted.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Huh? It''s alright to bring him. Are you sure?" Keith didn''t think Shiro would allow him to go out.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Bo Bo."
<span style="font-weight:400">"What do you mean it''s harmless."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Bo." Shiro went back to being silent and went back to sleep. Keith''s eyes twitched, "Can you tell me the whole story?!" This snowball kept leaving out the important information!
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hah," Keith sighed deeply, "Mir, you cane with us." Shiro may be a Samui with few words, but he wouldn''t cause harm to his kin. Not for his son, especially.
<span style="font-weight:400">"But you have to stay by my side. Don''t cause any trouble either."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Po!" Mir smiled as he jumped on Keith''s shoulders. This had be his spot. Hah. Keith sighed as he set off. Besides Shiro, the other Samuis saw them set off.
