    <span style="font-weight:400">"It''s an interesting design, considering it was made by a human," One dwarf stated.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Indeed."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"But what about this one? What''s with the windows?" The dwarf questioned as he noticed a strange design with the window.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Oh, I was thinking about having the window as high as the ceiling. I thought that would give the room a lot of light." Keith answered.


    <span style="font-weight:400">A lot of sunlight would be great for the kitchen.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"But you need a strong dark color to contrast with so much light," A dwarf stated.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I thought that contrast would make it interesting. But using dark colors would make it strange," Dark colors would add a nice touch. But it would also look strange too.


    <span style="font-weight:400">One by one, the dwarves kept talking to Keith, telling Keith their input on his design.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Keith also gave them his reasoning for his designs. Dalen observed them talk with one another. He didn''t say anything and only watched.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Thanks for your input," It was only an hour after they finished their conversation. Keith got a lot of input from the dwarves. He turned to Dalen,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Thank you for your time,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Don''t mention it,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">Once Keith left the workshop, Dalen questioned, "Do you guys know what you did?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm?" The dwarves tilted their heads.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You were talking with a human," Dalen chuckled. Did they forget about the race Keith was in?


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..." The dwarves'' eyes widened as they looked at one another. But they shouted,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Dammit!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"We did!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">So you guys realized who you were talking to now? Dalen shook his head, "You guys were so into it," This was a rare sight. The dwarves were so focused on his designs as they discussed.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"That''s because the kid was so serious about it!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"As dwarves, we have to make the job perfect!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"But he had a good brain for a human,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"But bad taste in color,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You have a bad taste in color!" Are you still going on about that? Like that, the dwarves started to argue again. Dalen shook his head,


    <span style="font-weight:400">I kind of understand what Orin said about him being special.


    <span style="font-weight:400">...


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I''m home!" Keith screamed as he walked out from the gate.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Po!" "Keith!" "Ho!" The three animals dived at his face. Keith caught them and snuggled them.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Wee home, Keith," Diana greeted Keith as she watched the animals swarmed him! Keith smiled,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm. Are you doing fine on the ind, Diana?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I''m doing fine," Diana smiled, "With Fira here teaching me what to do, it had been a good time,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Mmmhmm! Mmhmm!" Fira nodded. She had a proud expression, "I''ve been teaching big sister Diana what to do on the ind!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Good job," Keith patted the little spirit''s head.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hello, Keith,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hi, professor Aidiun," Keith greeted Aidiun,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Everything is good here, right?" Aidiun questioned. His job was to oversee and manage the ind.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm, it has been doing good," Keith nodded. He took off his zer,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I''m going to make dinner," Keith rolled up his sleeve. It was time to get something to eat,


    <span style="font-weight:400">Diana''s expression brightened when she heard that.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What are you nning to make?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Cream stew," Keith was making something simple for everyone to eat. Like that, Keith got to work. It didn''t take long before he ced the food down. While they ate,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Professor Aidiun,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What''s the matter, Keith?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I was wondering where I can search for new vegetables?" Keith questioned. This was something he needed to figure out. One of the reasons why he was excited toe here was to obtain new vegetables and fruits.


    <span style="font-weight:400">He was interested in figuring out how to cook them.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"If you want interesting vegetables and fruits, you can buy them from the stores?" Aidiun questioned. That was what most people did.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Keith scratched his head, "I tried to buy it from a stall. But the person didn''t let me buy it," They either screamed or overcharged him like no tomorrow.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What? Why wouldn''t they sell it to you?!" Diana questioned. She was surprised people would do something like that. But Aidiun understood,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"If you can''t buy it inside the city, you can search for them outside,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I can leave the city?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Of course you can. Remember to bring your ID if you''re going out. You will have to pay a fee if you don''t,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Understood!" Keith nodded.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"And if you''re going to search for things outside, you should register as an adventurer."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"An adventurer?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm! If you be an adventurer, you can take missions to earn coins," Aidiun exined.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I see," Keith pped his hands together, "Then I won''t be in ss for tomorrow,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Are you going to be fine skipping ss?" Aidiun questioned. As his professor, he couldn''t condone this.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Keith nodded, "I don''t need to worry about it. I have enough notes. Also, I got you as the manager."


    <span style="font-weight:400">One of the bright sides of having Aidiun was that he could teach himter.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I''m going to go out and search for new ingredients!" Keith pumped his fist!


    <span style="font-weight:400">Aidiun and Diana stared at his fierce eyes. He was so tense and scary at the same time.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"When Keith is like that, you just need to nod," Fira told Diana and Aidiun. Mir and Aria understood.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I see," The two nodded. Pretending everything was fine was the course of action.
