<span style="font-weight:400">“Nom!” Leon and Laura were now munching on some chocte.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Big Brother, more!” Leon opened his hands, covered in chocte. His face was also like that as well. Keith shook his head, “Sorry, Leon. But you can’t eat anymore.” The group had been going at an okay pace, which was nice. And they were having snacks along the way as well. Chocte and cookies were a must. However, too much was bad as well.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Aww.” The little cub looked down.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Have more fruits.” Keith cut an apple for him. And as he did,
<span style="font-weight:400">“Bunny!” It was shaped like a rabbit with those ears. The two nibbled on the apples.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Young Master, when you open the chocte factory, it will be a hit.” This was more so with the kids; sweet things were something they loved.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Chocte factory?” Krystal and Carolyn’s expressions changed. They turned to the guy, demanding some answers. This was news to them.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Ah, I was nning to add a chocte factory to the city. And when I do, I can also sell chocte bars on the double.” Keith smiled as he said this. However, that caused Carolyn and Krystal’s expressions to turn nk.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“When are you going to build it?” Krystal muttered. Her eyes were saying all of it; she wanted it now. Almost everyone on the ind was a fan of chocte.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Probably not very soon. I will need a building; it might take a while before everything is done.” The chocte factory needed a fermenting area. There were also the vats and equipment that needed to be built. With all of this, it would take a good amount of time.
<span style="font-weight:400">Carolyn grinned, “You always think big with these things.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Also, shouldn’t you upgrade your cart as well?”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hmm?”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“With so many customersing your way these past few days, you should expand it,” Carolyn realized the number of customers would only increase as time passed.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“True,” That was something he needed to think about. Eden had been getting a lot of customers these past few days. The three taking orders made the flow even more efficient. Should I add chairs and tables there?
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">While he wondered what to do,
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Monsters before us! Get yourselves ready!” Michael roared as he got everyone to prepare. It was not a surprise. Beasts were the norm here.
<span style="font-weight:400">Hearing this, Keith turned to the others, “Stay here. I’m going to check things out.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Okay!”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Michael, what kind of monsters are we dealing with?”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Wolves. And these guys aren’t normal ones like the silver wolves.” Keith looked forward and noticed. These wolves had rich ck-navy fur that reminded him of the ocean. But behind those wolves was a giant blue wolf with yellow eyes staring at the group.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Frost wolves. To think we’re able to spot someone like that.” Michael groaned. Frost wolves were pretty annoying.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“What rank are they?”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“The big one should be B-rank. But the rest are C at the least.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Prepare yourselves,” “Wait a moment. Let’s not attack.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Huh?!” Michael blinked, “Don’t tell me you’re going to try to talk with them?”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Yeah.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Okay, Go for it.” Michael and the knights quickly put their swords away.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Why are you guys so quick with this?” Don’t forget that I’m a young master. Shouldn’t you guys be protecting me or something?
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“It’s you, and you won’t die from this.” The number of times Keith had gone renegade on them was too many times to count. And it worked all the time. With monsters, in general, they did not need to worry about much.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“And you have the owl as well.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Keith effect in full action!” Carolyn called out from the side.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“…”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Keith effect!” Leon and Laura sounded. They didn’t know what it was, but hearing it was about their big brother made them repeat.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“…” I’m so going to end you all. Keith sighed as he approached the wolves, “Hello, you guys. Why are you all here?”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Grr,” The wolves started to be even more wary. But that was when Aria sounded,
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Kwak!” One sound from the blizzard owl made them all shut up.
<span style="font-weight:400">“..” When Keith patted the owl’s head, the wolves were prepared to strike, “Come on, you don’t need to do this. They’ll be afraid.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hoo.” Aria lowered her killing intent. By doing so, the wolves also died down a bit.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Now then. I think you guys are quite a fluffy bunch.” Keith grinned as he strolled forward. The wolves were continuing to be vignt as their leader was approached.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">That was when Keith realized. I don’t need to bend down. The wolf was actually big enough for him to just stand there. That was when he started to scratch the back of his neck. As he did so,
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Woof,” The wolf started to snuggle into his hand. Keith grinned, “Aww, do you like it? Here’s more scratches.” He continued to scratch the wolf left and right. That was when it fell down onto its back.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Here’s belly rubs.” Keith turned to the carriage, “Leon, Laura, you guys cane out. These guys won’t bite.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Okay!’ The two kids came out and walked over.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Try touching his stomach.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Fluffy.” The two children started to scratch it.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“…What am I watching right now?” Michael blinked. But that was when Carolyn muttered, “The Keith effect is quite powerful.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Indeed,” Krystal nodded.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Keith effect? Is that what we’re going to call it?” Michael and the knights knew about the strange effect Keith had on animals. They just called it his superpower. Keith effect had a nice ring as well.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“So why are you guys staying out here?” Keith tilted his head. For wolves toe out was quite odd. That was when the wolf started to whine,
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“I see, so you have lost your home against a monster.” This was normal; most monsters would fight for territory.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Then how about youe with us home?”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Eh?”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Woof?”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“If youe with us, I’ll feed you guys as well!” Keith grinned as he then took out some smoked meats. Smelling the beef slice, the wolf’s nose perked up.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Try it.” The wolf licked it before taking a big bite. And that was not the end as the wolves swarmed the three of them! It was quite a fluffy sight.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Want toe home with us?”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Woof!” The wolves chimed.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Kid, I don’t think we can bring so many wolves to the town.” Actually, they might scream in terror.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“True,” Keith thought about it, but that was when,
<span style="font-weight:400">“Keith,” Leon and Laura stared at him. Those eyes said it all. Please take them home with us.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Well, we can’t bring them to the town, or the people might be scared. How about this? We will leave them here. We’lle back to get them once we leave town.” They were going to be returning here anyway.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Yay!”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“You guys need to hide yourselves for a few days. Is that fine with you?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Woof!” The wolves quickly barked. Keith nodded as it was time for them to head off again.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“…What?” Keith looked at the three.
<span style="font-weight:400">“What are you nning with those wolves?” That man had something on his mind.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Something. You guys don’t need to worry about it.” Keith grinned as he sat in the carriage. The others nced at one another before sighing.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“This is going to be quite a situation.”
