Volume 9 Chapter 16: Sunshine Street!
"Let's go out and have some fun!" Keith raised his hand in the air as he shouted.
"Yeah!" "Y-yeah," Carolyn, Leon, Laura, and Fira cheered loudly. Krystal raised her hand slightly into the air in embarrassment. She had gone with the flow.
May watched them with a grin on her face. How adorable.
"This is Krystal's first time in our city! Let's go show how great it is, everyone!" It was time to show off to the tourists.
"Mmhmm!"
"Let's come back here after we get dressed." Indeed they did; they returned to the lobby in a few minutes. Keith grinned as he saw the two foxes move around. It had been some time since he had seen this adorableness.
"We don't need a carriage?" Krystal questioned.
"It's only a few minutes walk to the city. And we need to burn off those calories."
"Mmhmm!" Leon and Laura nodded as they held his hand. And when they entered the city,
"Look! It's the young master!"
"Good afternoon, Young Master!"
"It's so great to have you back!"
As they walked down the streets, the people waved. Keith waved back, "It's good to see you all again! It's been a while!" The man continued to wave at all of them.
Behind him, Krystal was amazed, "He's like a hero."
"Don't you get that treatment when you return to the duchy?" Krystal was the only daughter of the Grand Duchy; she was also highly regarded.
The woman denied, "Not like this. Everyone is treating him like he's a saint." There was a difference between how she was treated and this. This man was getting the kingly treatment; what amplified it more was how amicable the man was.
"Well, he does have the nickname, The Northern Saint." Carolyn remembered that nickname.
"Northern Saint? He had a title like that?"
"It's a well-known nickname in the northern region," May added. The outside didn't know so much. But in the northern region, it was well regarded.
"Hey!" A glare soon came when he heard it.
"What? It's true."
"Young Master Keith, that nickname is quite nice," May added. The title of saint really puts an umth in there. The other names he had were pretty normal. The saint added elegance to his fame.
"..." Keith groaned. The title of Northern Saint was really going to embarrass him. The first stop that everyone was going to was the first white forest bakery.
"So this is where it all started." Krystal was quite interested in the store. Even now, it had this uniqueness compared to the other stores. One thing that hadn't changed was the long lines.
"Let's go inside." When that was said, the inside hadn't changed in all so long. That was when Ralph shouted, "Boss, welcome home!"
"Mmhmm!" Keith grinned as he asked, "So, how are the recipes I handed you guys?"
"The recipes are a great hit. The number of people who entered was just surprising." Ralph laughed. A spike of people came when the new food was introduced.
"And it's not only this store. The others were the same as well," May added. Adding new recipes invited customers to try them.
"What would you guys like to have?"
"We want cinnamon rolls!" The two children cheered. That caused Keith to chuckle, "You heard the children. Two cinnamon rolls. I'll also take some pudding as well. How about you guys?"
"Sure," The others were game for it as well. It was time for them to have some desserts.
"So delicious."
"As expected from the bakery," Krystal savored the pudding.
"What's the next place you want to show me?" Krystal was quite interested. But that only caused Keith to grin, "How about we go to Sunshine Street!"
"Yay! Sunshine Street!" Leon and Laura were quite enthusiastic. And like that, everyone set off again. They came through the entrance,
That was when Krystal questioned, "How can you have such a space like this?"
"Hmm?"
"I mean the green grass." There was something really off. The park had such a lush area. Yet, it didn't make sense because the area was supposed to be cold. Not only that, there was also a small lake where they saw some ducks playing around!
Everything about this was not normal in a cold region!
"Oh, that's because of the heating crystals we used. Doing so keeps the land at an optimal temperature for the grasses to be like this," That was why there were heating lamps all over; it was to keep the cold from reaching. People were able to take off their coats and relax.
"What do you think about all of this?"
"Incredible," She had no words to describe this. To make such a lush forest in a cold region. That alone was something that she couldn't comprehend. As they conversed,
"Young Master Keith!"
"Come play with us!"
"Yeah!"
A group of kids spotted him and quickly rushed over. The man laughed, "Sure, we can play around. Do you want to play with this?" What Keith had brought out was a ball.
That was when the kids started to play.
"..."
"Surprised, right?"
"Mmhmm."
"The young master would always play with the kids whenever he had the time," Keith would always bring Leon and Laura to the park to rest and relax. As he did, kids would come up to him. It also helped that Mir and Fira were good with kids.
"And he also cleaned up the streets as well," Carolyn grinned.
"He did that?" Krystal noticed one interesting thing about the city; there was little to no dirt around. No trash or garbage was lying around. It made the city smell pleasant.
"Mmhmm, that was how he made so many jobs for everyone," May smiled,
"That is why everyone is brighter and more excited." The kids couldn't help but laugh and have fun with everything. But as they were talking about him,
"Big sisters! Let's go and play!" Leon and Laura grabbed the two's hands. May also followed after them as well.
It was time.
