Volume 12 Chapter 2: New Representative
The following day, Carolyn woke up and groaned. That was because she felt something on her chest. She looked down to see it was Ruby sleeping so soundly.
Patting the baby's head, “Ruby, you didn’t go to daddy today?” 70-30. This baby would go to Keith and sleep in his room instead of hers. It was a weird thing, but she was fine with it. About half of the creatures on this island would go to Keith's room.
"Cuu," A little whimper came from the baby's mouth as he waddled toward her collarbone and snuggled there.
"I see..." I should go check on him. The princess held the baby in her arms as she left her room and headed to the kitchen. With that aroma, he had to be there. She was not alone in her thoughts as people glanced from the door.
"How is he?"
"...He's actually doing fine," Scarlet muttered. The princess peeked through the door and noticed Keith cooking breakfast for everyone. Aria was standing on the side, watching him and being the taste tester.
“Okay, then we’re in the clear.”
“Eh?”
“Usually, if he really meant it, it would have shown. But since it hasn’t, he didn’t care much about it.” Carolyn knew her childhood sweetheart well.
“I see.”
“But to think he didn’t care so much about it.”
"Guys, can you go set up the dining room. I'll bring the mini-egg cakes over. It's porridge as well." Keith grinned as he opened the oven. A sweet and vanilla aroma filled the air.
“Alright, let’s go and set up the dining room." The girls smiled as they quickly headed into the dining room.
...
“Hmmm,” Keith hummed as he walked. But that only caused the others to tilt their heads, “Are you that happy today?”
“Mmhmm, I feel so light and peppy.” Keith was actually bouncing as he walked, which was a little shocking for the rest. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
“...”
“Okay then, the new representative shall be Chelan.” The decision was instant, as Chelan had a smile. Like any other day, class started. But that was when Long Lihua and Ayaka walked up to him after class.
“Keith, you’re not the representative anymore?”
“No, I’m not.”
“Why not?!” This didn’t make sense!
“Because of things.” Keith looked up, “Speaking about this, I thought one of you guys would have taken it?” This took him aback. He thought Alfia or Herrick would have picked their hands up to go for the representative spot.
“I’m not interested in a position like that.” Alfia scoffed.
“I don’t care since I can spar with you.” Herrick only wanted to face the strongest. The representative was the strongest. That person was on the same island as him.
Yeah, no need to care either way.
“Lihua, and you?” In terms of academics and strength, she was definitely cut to be the next representative.
“Nope. I don’t want to do any extra work. I prefer my life as is.” Long Lihua didn't want extra work on her plate.
“I see.” Keith nodded, “That’s good.” While they talked about it, Aidiun informed Chelan, “Chelan, there’s a meeting with the other representatives. I know you just became one a few hours ago, but there’s a lot on your plate now.”
“Understood.” Chelan nodded. But as he did, he couldn’t help but glance at Keith, who had a smile on his face. A frown slowly formed as he saw that. Aidiun shook his head.
