Volume 11 Chapter 17: Fried Shrimp 

"Since we have so many people, I have to get to work right now." His sleeves were rolled up as he cracked his neck. Today was going to be a long battle. The great spirit of nature did the same thing as well. Four new people were joining in on this; that meant they needed to add eight people's worth.

"Diana, you're going to cut and season the chicken. I need to prepare the batter." Frying. The "forbidden" technique. Fried milk was nice, but frying meat and the others were quite different from milk. To make the batter, it was quite simple: water, egg, and flour. Mix the ingredients together, and bam, there is an instant batter.

Besides chicken, shrimp also needed to be prepared. Deveining it was a must. A bunch of black veins went flying into the trash can. What was more, sweet potatoes were prepared.

“Keith, everything is good to go." After some time, the amount of shrimp and chicken that was prepared in a pile was high.  

“Gotcha. We’re going to do this in a two-part system. Diana, you dredge the chicken and the others in the batter I prepared. I will be the one to put them into the oil and take it out.”

“Understood.” The great spirit of nature followed his words as she quickly tossed the chicken into the batter, coating them. Swiftly, Keith placed the chicken into the oil.

SIIIIIIIZZZZZZLE

Loud crackling sounds from the oil burst forth. Diana was intrigued, ”It could make sounds like this?” It was the first for her. Keith nodded, “Mmhmm, I have the heat a little too high. But there’s no need to worry.” After a few minutes, the chicken was taken out. What was before them was a golden-crusted bite.

“We need to keep cooking the rest,” It would take some time to thin out those piles.

"Indeed." Diana nodded to this as they continued to do so.

“I feel like we could eat it from here.” Near the door was about everyone.

“Headmaster! You’re drooling on me!” Herrick looked up.

“And you’re drooling on Arlo.”

“Sorry about that,” Herrick quickly wiped the guy’s head.

Scarlet cursed, “Keith always comes up with the most delicious things ever. It’s so unfair.” Hunger and anticipation. That was the guy's ability.

“Look at him work; he’s not even guarding it.” This was a strange sight for all of them. Usually, the guy would be on guard against all of them so the food wouldn't be stolen.

“I’m going in!” Herrick didn’t hesitate as he used his ninja speed to head over there. This isn't his first time. Everyone could tell this guy did it multiple times. Without hesitation, he took a bite.

“Ah!”

“Herrick!” The others gasped at the lion man who rolled on the floor, collecting dust. Keith shook his head, “You had to take a bite.”

“Are those traps?!” To think Keith would make traps for them to eat! So fearsome!

“No, he just ate it without letting it cool off,” Keith shook his head. It takes about a minute before they cool off. Of course, his tongue would be burnt because of this.

“And if I really wanted to make traps...Heh.” The number of ideas in his mind was quite something. Should I explore this idea?Nôv(el)B\\jnn

“What’s with that smile?!” Fear and anxiousness.

“Please don’t do it.”

“Who knows, maybe one day my hands will slip, and I add too much salt by accident. Or maybe I add an incredibly disgusting ingredient.” That grin on Keith’s face was ever so dangerous.

“….I just figured out my newfound fear.” Cadmus gulped. The fear of eating something disgusting made by Keith. Yeah, it's not something that he would be wary about all the time.

“That’s what I thought.” Keith grinned as he glanced at Udine, “Udine, could you help me out with something?”

“Hmm?”

“What do you need help on?” The great spirit of water was ready to serve.

“Could work your water magic on this aqua rice.” Aqua rice was a type of rice that became more delicious when more water was soaked in it. The quality of water was also important. What better way than the woman before him.

“…More delicious with more water?”

“Understood!” Udine was prepared to do something, but that was when the great spirit of nature grabbed her by the scruff and shooed her out, “Don’t do it here! Go outside and do it!” The others had followed her outside.

But there was a moment of silence before he heard Nephele’s screams, “Udine! Too much water!”

“….” Keith could only chuckle while Diana groaned. That dark look on her forehead was something, but Keith reminded her, “Let’s keep working on the food.” There were quite a number of other things they needed to work on. The next one was the shrimps as he slowly dipped them in.

“The smell is always the best,” Long Lihua muttered as the aroma hit her in the face. Keith smiled, “Dig in, everyone. Don’t hold back as well.” And that was when everyone charged.

“They crunchy and tender inside!” Carolyn was the first person to mutter. Keith took a small bite, which was packed with flavor and deliciousness. It was quite something as they ate.

“Heh,” Keith was content as he continued to eat. But as he was doing this, he saw a couple of chipmunk faces.

“…Come on, guys. Eat the ones in your mouth before you get more,” They were filling them quite up. It was quite a cute sight.

“…Understood.”
