    <span style="font-weight:400">Alfia and Faelyn ate calmly. Two different scenes were urring at the table. You have Herrick and Melor eating like no tomorrow; screw the knives and forks; they went in on the food. On the other side were Alfia and Faelyn using forks and knives: elegant and calm. There was a discrepancy.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Princess," Keith and the others looked up to see elves. Not again. That was the expression Alfia had as she questioned, "What do you want?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Can we sit with you?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"We don''t have enough space," Alfia''s response was frank and curt. There was no sign of happiness.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"We understand." The elves didn''t say anything as they walked away from there. Anyone could tell they were disheartened by her reply. They also tripped as they walked.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Did you have to be so mean to them?" Keith scratched his head. With how cold Alfia was, he felt sympathy for those elves.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Too bad. Those guys were really annoying." Alfia scoffed, "If you don''t do things like this, people will think they could do whatever they want." Being frank and curt was something you had to do to get them away.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"True," Herrick agreed with her.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"And you have to be especially careful, Keith," Tristan warned.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hey, I don''t need to do that." Keith waved his hand.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You do," Carolyn interjected.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You''re too dense to notice things like this. The number of times you did that when we were kids made a lot of girls swoon." Carolyn turned dark as she remembered what happened.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Eh? When was this?" This was news to him.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Do you know how many girls you charmed when you do nice things?" As Keith walked throughout the city, he would help the citizens out. And that caused some of them to be charmed.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Do I look like the type of guy who did this?!"


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


    <span style="font-weight:400">Come on! "Licht, help me out here!" Licht should be the only one who would understand.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"...I can''t deny it or prove it. I''m a middleman." Licht looked away. He wasn''t getting into this.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Anyways, you charmed the life out of them," Carolyn muttered.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Huh? But when did this happen?" Keith would have noticed it if he did.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"That''s because you were focused on your stores to notice it. Didn''t you see the number of gifts you got?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"But those were only congrattory gifts." Whenever he opened a new bakery, he would get gifts from others.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"...Do you consider homemade nes and flowers congrattory gifts?"


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


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Dude,e on." Jack pped himself in the head. Anyone could tell it held special meaning.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Yeah, Keith. That''s a clear sign." Even Herrick had to say something about it.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"But it was mixed with the others," Keith got them in groups. How was he supposed to know?


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


    <span style="font-weight:400">"It''s my bad," Keith looked down; he lost this battle.


    <span style="font-weight:400">...


    <span style="font-weight:400">After sses, Keith and the others went their separate ways. The location Keith headed to was the library. It has be the norm for him to go there now. And when he did, a beautiful angel was sitting near the window.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hello, Senior Ange!" Keith waved. Ange smiled, "Hello, Keith. How were your sses?"


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


    <span style="font-weight:400">"That''s great!"


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


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Senior, tell me straight. You have a lot more work again. Don''t you?" Ange couldn''t fool him with all those flowery words.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Ugghh." Ange didn''t know what to say. She couldn''t look Keith in the eye.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Let me see," Keith smiled as he sat across from her.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Thank you very much!" Ange didn''t hesitate as she summoned the papers out of nowhere!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Storage?" Keith sensed it.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Ange''s smile blossomed, "So you know about void magic as well, Junior?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">Keith coughed, "Yes, I know of it."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Junior, I know you can use void magic as well." Ange smiled,


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


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You took those cookies out from storage," Ange revealed.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..." Oh, yeah!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Don''t worry, Junior. I won''t ever say what you can use." Ange ced a finger on her lips. She knew to keep it quiet.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Thank you very much, Senior. Now let''s start this." Keith rolled up his sleeves. There were things they needed to do.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Understood," Like that, the two started to work on the papers. However, as they did, Ange couldn''t help but groan.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Senior, we still have a lot of paperwork. You can''t give up now."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I know. But sitting like this isn''t helping out," True. The two had been sitting here for an hour.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"How about some drinks?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I didn''t know you were like that, Keith," Ange snickered.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"No! I meant tea!" What were you thinking?! Was there something with this girl?


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I know. I was messing around,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hah," Keith sighed as he looked around.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"No one is around, right?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm, I will keep watch," Keith quickly took out a whole tea set. Ange marveled, "I didn''t think you would bring out an entire tea set."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Of course. To make great tea, you need to go all out." Keith started to prepare the tea in front of her face.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Junior is so serious about these little things,"


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


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Nothing. I want to taste it."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Sure, please have a taste." Keith gestured with his hand. Ange took a sip of the tea, "So aromatic. Junior, you know how to make good tea."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Thank you. I made the blend myself." He incorporated different types of tea leaves together to create an interesting blend of vors. That was something he was proud of.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Now then! Let''s continue to deal with these papers!" That was something he couldn''t forget!


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