    <span style="font-weight:400">"One and two!" Keith raised his hand back and forth, stretching himself. Once he finished, he was ready to leave the mansion. He spotted Diana sweeping the ground,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Diana, I''m heading out."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Have a safe day!" Diana smiled and quickly returned to cleaning. Keith pulled his cart to his regr spot. As he set it up again,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hey! The cart is opening up again!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I need to eat it!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Let''s go!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">When Keith finished setting up his cart, customers made a line in front of it.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Please tell me your order." Keith smiled as he started to cook! As he was doing that,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Child, you should give up school and open your cart all the time." Keith looked up at the middle-aged man. Well, he looked middle-aged.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Mr.Cedric, I still have to study." Keith chuckled. Cedric had been a regr at his cart.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Tch! Sometimes, you have to give something up to pursue your passion!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Then you should tell your granddaughter that." Keith shook his head. From conversing with him, Keith knew Cedric had a granddaughter who enrolled in the academy.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Heck no! My sweet granddaughter won''t be dropping out! She''s the prettiest angel out there!" Cedric stated with a smile.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..." Keith and the others shook their heads. Idiot grandpa.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Next on line!" Keith couldn''t concentrate on him as he called for the next customer. As he continued to work,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Dennis, have you tried the bread?" Keith had suggested to Dennis and his party to go to White Forest Bakery to get food.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"It''s incredible!" Dennis was so happy that he went there.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Nina nodded, "Yes, it was respectable. There were dwarves there as well."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"That was probably Skar and the other workers." Skar and the other dwarvesined about wanting cheap and delicious food. So he told him about the bakery.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"The bread is so cheap and nice."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I always go there for breakfast now."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"That''s great." Keithughed as he handed the crepes over to them. So the changes are working. Keith had gone to the bakery to watch over them for a few days. And it slowly changed.


    <span style="font-weight:400">As he continued to work,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Guess that''s over with." Keith stretched his arms in the air as he saw all the customers leave with a satisfied expression. As he pushed the cart back,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Oh, are you close?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">Keith turned around, "Alfia? Are you here to try my food?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm. I heard about it yesterday." Alfia heard about how some professors headed to a cart. The food was delicious.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Thinking about the food, it had to do something with Keith. And she was right. Keith was pushing a cart.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Ah, I''m closed now," Keith scratched his head.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I see." Alfia didn''t say anything as she turned around. But Keith could tell that she was a little disheartened. Keith chuckled,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Do you want to try something else?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Aren''t you out of materials?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I do have other meats. It won''t be the same as the others. Would you be fine with that?" Keith took out meat. It was the inferno cow.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Is that fine?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm, if you give me a minute, I''ll cook it." Keith smiled.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Thank you." Alfia nodded. Like that, Keith started to cook in front of her.


    <span style="font-weight:400">While he did, Alfia watched him work. He looks so different. Alfia had seen a lot of expressions from Keith. But this was something new. His face was that of a child. Despite that childish look he had, he had the focus of a master.


    <span style="font-weight:400">He looks really cool. EH? Alfia quickly shook her head. Why am I thinking like that?! He was a human.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Here you are. Inferno beef with onion.." Keith smiled as he handed the crepe over to Alfia. When Alfia touched it, it had a crisp feel. When she took a bite,


    <span style="font-weight:400">A sweet and savory taste of beef filled her mouth. She asked Keith, "Where did you learn to cook like this?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Skills," Keith stated with a proud expression. That caused Alfia to scrunch up. While Keith started to pack up his equipment again,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Ngh!" He turned over to see Alfia fidgeting.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Are you alright?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I''m- Kwak!" Before she could say it, something came out of her sleeves. Her eyes widened as she shouted, "You saw nothing!" She tried her best to hide it in her hand. But the thing in her hand didn''t want to stay quiet.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Aww, is that a spirit?" Keith questioned. His words caused her to frown.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"How do you know it''s a spirit?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"That''s because I''m contracted with one." Hearing that, Alfia''s caution lowered. As she softened, the spirit came out of her hand!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Oh, it''s a bird." Getting a closer look, the spirit was a small bird.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"This is my wind spirit."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What a cutie?" Keith smiled as he patted the little spirit on the head. And when that happened, the little spirit jumped onto Keith''s shoulder and started to peck his face.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Aww, do you want some bread?" Keith took out a loaf and split it into pieces, allowing the little spirit to eat.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"...I''m surprised."


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


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"My wind spirit doesn''t like to talk with others."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Really?" From what he saw, the spirit does like people.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"No, it doesn''t even like to talk with Faelyn."


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


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Well, I have to return now." Handing the spirit back, Keith rolled the cart away, leaving a stunned Alfia.
