<span style="font-weight:400">Keith dragged his cart back to his location again. The customers made way for him to set up. There''s such a long line. Keith noticed there were more people thanst time.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I would like to havemb crepe and seared boffalo!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"I want some soup!"
<span style="font-weight:400">The customers started to call out their orders to him.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Please wait a minute, folks." Keith continued to work as quickly as possible. But as he did, there was something wrong. There were more customers for him to handle! He could usually listen to their orders while he worked. But not this time.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Kid, can''t you do something about the lines?!" Cedric groaned as he walked out from the lines. There were still 20 people ahead of him!
<span style="font-weight:400">"Should I hire someone?" Keith muttered. That was something he knew would happen sooner orter. With those words alone, some customers perked up,
<span style="font-weight:400">"That would be great!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Yeah!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"That way, you only need to focus on your cooking!"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">Dalen and Dennis quickly agreed. Having someone wait on the orders would give Keith an easier time to cook.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I need to think about who to bring in." Keith knew that he needed help. But who to bring? That was the bigger question. Yet, there was no need to ask who it was.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Keith, what''s going on?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Did something happen?" Scarlet, Alfia, Herrick, and Melor came for lunch. But they noticed the line wasn''t moving at all.
<span style="font-weight:400">"There''s a lot more customers than I anticipated." Keith scratched his head. Did not expect something like that. The increase should be gradual, not a spike.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Do you need our help?" Scarlet suggested.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I don-" "It will be fine. Doing something like that would be simple enough." Alfia scoffed.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Thank you very much." Keith wasn''t going to say no, "Please use numbers to help organize. Also, take these as well." He handed some paper over to them. With that,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Wee to Cart Eden. If you need anything, pleasee to us with your order." Scarlet and Alfia weed.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Understood!" The customers didn''t hesitate as they started to tell them their order. The elves and demon-kin were the only ones off with all this! They saw who it was. Their princesses were actually taking orders!
<span style="font-weight:400">"Keith, here are the orders." Alfia and Scarlet handed the orders.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Thank you." Keith stared and started to get to work. The speed at which he cooked was even faster than the other times. Without taking the customer''s orders, his focus was solely on cooking.
<span style="font-weight:400">The orders were flying left and right. Keith handed the food to Scarlet and Alfia, who gave it to the customer. With the help of the four, it didn''t take long for everything to be done.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Thank you so much for today!" Keith pped his hands. Having the four here helped him out so much.
<span style="font-weight:400">"You know it." Herrick and Melor grinned.
<span style="font-weight:400">That only caused Alfia to scoff, "You two didn''t do anything. We had to take you off of taking orders." In the middle of that, Herrick and Melor had to be taken away.
<span style="font-weight:400">The two couldn''t do it. Instead, Keith had them be security, making them watch over the line.
<span style="font-weight:400">Scarlet held his hand, "You don''t need to worry about anything. I will help you out in any way we can."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hey, stop being so handsy with him." Alfia grabbed Scarlet, wanting to pull her off. However, she wasn''t budging at all.
<span style="font-weight:400">"There''s another arm, go take that." Without a secondter, she shrugged Alfia over to Keith''s other arm.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ah," Alfia''s scratched her head, not knowing what to do. That was how embarrassed she was. She couldn''t believe it. Yet, Alfia continued to hold onto it like there was nothing wrong.
<span style="font-weight:400">Herrick and Melor watched this circus show from the sidelines. Keith chuckled, "Let''s go home now."
<span style="font-weight:400">...
<span style="font-weight:400">Late at night, Keith wondered what to do. What Cedric said was right; I should get someone to help out. Alfia and Scarlet really helped out his cart today.
<span style="font-weight:400">I should ask them about it.
