Volume 7 Chapter 43: I Joined Because I Almost Killed Keith.
"Alright, good job, everyone." The base was now finished.
"I can't believe it took so long to make," Nephele, her face gritty from the cement, muttered. She wasn't the only one, as the others were in the same state. Everyone was covered in cement, a testament to their hard work.
"My hair." Alfia touched her hair; it was covered in cement.
"Your hair? My fur is covered with all of it!" Herrick and Leona were in a worse-off state.
"For all your efforts, go and wash yourselves up. I prepared something special for the baths." Keith smiled as he said this. Unlike the others, he had cleaned himself while they worked.
"..." You prepared something in the bath? The others looked at one another.
"Now go." There was no need to explain further; they would find out when they headed to the bathroom.
"You heard the man! Let's go!" Cadmus pushed everyone into the mansion. He was interested in what Keith had for them.
Keith stretched his hand, "I should get to work." There was something else he needed to do.
...
"Such a big area." Angelica blinked as she entered the bathroom. She was surprised at the size. Sakura was the same. As the two stared, Sarah explained, "President, Captain, you can put your clothes here." She handed the two baskets to hold their clothes.
"Mmhmm," "Thank you."
"..." Too beautiful. As they undressed, Sarah and the other girls couldn't help but glance at Angelica and Sakura. The two had the perfect proportions. It was weird since they were only a year older than them!
However,
"I need to wash my hair." "I will help you out." "My back hurts."
Three powerhouses entered as well. Everyone couldn't help but stare at the great spirits. They were too perfect. Each one had an aspect going from them.
"Let's head to the bath now." Alfia shook her head as she entered the baths. But when they did,
"What did he do to the baths?" What was different about the baths was the citrus scent teeming from the waters. It was pleasant and relaxing.
"There's a note as well." Angelica pointed to the side, where she saw a small note. Scarlet opened it up;
I added some citrus fruits into the bath. It'll help you relax and make your skin refresh as well.
"..." There was a smiley face at the end.
Angelica chuckled, "That guy is all sorts of surprises." People would use rose petals for the bath, but he used fruits instead.
"Let's go clean ourselves!" Nephele took charge as she headed for the showers. The others did the same. While they did, Angelica and Sakura blinked.
"Ah, this section cleans off any dirt or grime from your body. Then you can enter the bath." Sarah quickly explained.
"I take it that Junior was the one who designed this?"
"Mmhmm." The girls nodded.
"Keith really does make interesting things." Sakura walked over to the showers. It was a great idea. After cleaning themselves off, they all entered the baths.
"Ahh," A lighthearted moan came out from their mouth.
"This is so relaxing."
"The peels really make my mind turn to mush." The aroma from the bath made all their stress disappear.
"..." But there was a slight silence between everyone. That was because of two people. That was the student council president and disciplinary committee captain!
Even the great spirits found it fascinating.
Angelica also noticed it, "You guys don't need to be so nervous around us. Just talk like you usually would."
"Then I'll ask something!" Nephele raised her hand, "How did the two of you meet with Keith?!" That was something she was interested in.
"Ahh, for me, it was in the library. While I was reading a book, Junior suddenly asked if he could sit with me." Angelica answered.
"Eh?" Scarlet joined the conversation, "But didn't he know who you were?"
"I don't think he did. I doubt he even knew who I was." Angelica laughed. The guy knew about her being on the student council. But the president was a different matter.
"Ahh, I remember Keith was staring into space during the ceremony," Sarah added. Gabriel, Jack, Carolyn, and her were with him during the ceremony. He had a spaced-out look as Angelica and Sakura talked.
"..." Stab. Are you kidding me?
Everyone now turned over to Sakura,
"For me, it was in the blacksmith shop. He was getting something, and I was getting my sword. We sparred, and we became friends." Super straightforward.
"Now that we told you about how we met, it's your turn! What made you decide to join Keith's island?" A mischievous grin formed on Angelica's face as she stared at the girls. It was time for them to spill out their secrets.
"I met Keith because my father and his father were friends," Sarah explained.
"I joined because of Herrick," Leona answered. The two girls were straightforward.
"Hmm? For me, I met him during class." "Same here." Alfia and Scarlet's cheeks turned slightly red as they answered. They couldn't answer with because he saved her from her brother, who tried to start a war, and because she wanted to screw him over.
"I can tell you guys are lying." But that was not a good answer for the student council president.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Oh, I think I have the most interesting one. I joined because I almost killed Keith."
"Wait, what?!" Everyone made a dumbfounded sound when they heard the great spirit of wind say that.
Diana groaned. Idiot. That was supposed to be kept down low.
"You need to explain." Everyone wanted to figure it out now. While that happened on the girl's side, over at the men's side,
"Powerbomb!" "Herrick, no!" Herrick grabbed Jack by the waist and tossed him into the water.
"This is what happens when you have too many people." Cadmus joked.
