Volume 9 Chapter 24: Keith Effect In Action(Vs Wolves)
“Nom!” Leon and Laura were now munching on some chocolate.
“Big Brother, more!” Leon opened his hands, covered in chocolate. 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. Chocolate and cookies were a must. However, too much was bad as well.
“Aww.” The little cub looked down.
“Have more fruits.” Keith cut an apple for him. And as he did,
“Bunny!” It was shaped like a rabbit with those ears. The two nibbled on the apples.
“Young Master, when you open the chocolate factory, it will be a hit.” This was more so with the kids; sweet things were something they loved.
“Chocolate factory?” Krystal and Carolyn’s expressions changed. They turned to the guy, demanding some answers. This was news to them.
“Ah, I was planning to add a chocolate factory to the city. And when I do, I can also sell chocolate bars on the double.” Keith smiled as he said this. However, that caused Carolyn and Krystal’s expressions to turn blank.
“When are you going to build it?” Krystal muttered. Her eyes were saying all of it; she wanted it now. Almost everyone on the island was a fan of chocolate.
“Probably not very soon. I will need a building; it might take a while before everything is done.” The chocolate 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.
Carolyn grinned, “You always think big with these things.”
“Also, shouldn’t you upgrade your cart as well?”
“Hmm?”
“With so many customers coming your way these past few days, you should expand it,” Carolyn realized the number of customers would only increase as time passed.
“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?
While he wondered what to do,
“Monsters before us! Get yourselves ready!” Michael roared as he got everyone to prepare. It was not a surprise. Beasts were the norm here.
Hearing this, Keith turned to the others, “Stay here. I’m going to check things out.”
“Okay!”
“Michael, what kind of monsters are we dealing with?”
“Wolves. And these guys aren’t normal ones like the silver wolves.” Keith looked forward and noticed. These wolves had rich black-navy fur that reminded him of the ocean. But behind those wolves was a giant blue wolf with yellow eyes staring at the group.
“Frost wolves. To think we’re able to spot someone like that.” Michael groaned. Frost wolves were pretty annoying.
“What rank are they?”
“The big one should be B-rank. But the rest are C at the least.”
“Prepare yourselves,” “Wait a moment. Let’s not attack.”
“Huh?!” Michael blinked, “Don’t tell me you’re going to try to talk with them?”
“Yeah.”
“Okay, Go for it.” Michael and the knights quickly put their swords away.
“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?
“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.
“And you have the owl as well.”
“Keith effect in full action!” Carolyn called out from the side.
“…”
“Keith effect!” Leon and Laura sounded. They didn’t know what it was, but hearing it was about their big brother made them repeat.
“…” I’m so going to end you all. Keith sighed as he approached the wolves, “Hello, you guys. Why are you all here?”
“Grr,” The wolves started to be even more wary. But that was when Aria sounded,
“Kwak!” One sound from the blizzard owl made them all shut up.
“..” 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.”
“Hoo.” Aria lowered her killing intent. By doing so, the wolves also died down a bit.
“Now then. I think you guys are quite a fluffy bunch.” Keith grinned as he strolled forward. The wolves were continuing to be vigilant as their leader was approached.
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,
“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.
“Here’s belly rubs.” Keith turned to the carriage, “Leon, Laura, you guys can come out. These guys won’t bite.”
“Okay!’ The two kids came out and walked over.
“Try touching his stomach.”
“Fluffy.” The two children started to scratch it.
“…What am I watching right now?” Michael blinked. But that was when Carolyn muttered, “The Keith effect is quite powerful.”
“Indeed,” Krystal nodded.
“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.
“So why are you guys staying out here?” Keith tilted his head. For wolves to come out was quite odd. That was when the wolf started to whine,
“I see, so you have lost your home against a monster.” This was normal; most monsters would fight for territory.
“Then how about you come with us home?”
“Eh?”
“Woof?”
“If you come 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.
“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.
“Want to come home with us?”
“Woof!” The wolves chimed.
“Kid, I don’t think we can bring so many wolves to the town.” Actually, they might scream in terror.
“True,” Keith thought about it, but that was when,
“Keith,” Leon and Laura stared at him. Those eyes said it all. Please take them home with us.
“Well, we can’t bring them to the town, or the people might be scared. How about this? We will leave them here. We’ll come back to get them once we leave town.” They were going to be returning here anyway.
“Yay!”
“You guys need to hide yourselves for a few days. Is that fine with you?”
“Woof!” The wolves quickly barked. Keith nodded as it was time for them to head off again.
“…What?” Keith looked at the three.
“What are you planning with those wolves?” That man had something on his mind.
“Something. You guys don’t need to worry about it.” Keith grinned as he sat in the carriage. The others glanced at one another before sighing.
“This is going to be quite a situation.”
