Volume 14 Chapter 38: 

The next morning, Keith woke up and noticed Eri was nowhere in his bed. He did not need to search; he turned to the side to see the little child sitting at his desk as she stared at the plate with a frown. She was hard at work as Aria raised the next plate. 

She was staring at it quite intensely, “Puppy!” 

"Hoo."

"Aww." Her ears drooped down when she saw it was a wolf instead. The wolf image had a more spiky ear, while the puppy had droopy ones. Despite the miss, she continued onward with Aria as the teacher. It was an interesting sight to witness. 

Keith chuckled as he patted her head, "You're not going to get it on the first try. Now, let's get changed and brush your teeth." She really likes it. Keith didn't expect her to wake up earlier to learn about this.

“Okay.” A small pout came from the girl as they walked over to the bathroom. Too adorable.

She had decided to go alone to the other one. Once they were done, it was time for him to head out. 

But when that happened, Eri decided to stay home for today. 

“What happened? Where’s the little fella?” Cedric questioned as he noticed the little fella was not here as well. And he was not the only one as well. 

Eri had become a mascot with Mir and Lei. They were dotted on the child like their own. But she would keep her space from them. 

The two were quite the same as always, but it was nothing to do when he compared all of this. 

“Either way, come and get your food!” Keith grinned as he started to work. While he did, Cedric walked over to Krystal, “My Little Gem, did you get hurt anywhere in the finals?” He was worried about his granddaughter for being gone for so long.

“Grandfather, there’s no need to worry about anything.” Krystal’s cheeks were red, but Cedric was a dotting grandfather, and he continued to check her out. Keith shook his head as he continued to sell food around. 

"By the way, is there any new food?"

"Hmm? Are you going to add something to the menu?" It had been quite some time since he had done so. 

Keith shook his head, "Nope. I won't add anything to the menu." He didn't go out that much. However. Is the tunneler delicious? That was something he was curious about. When he handed in the monsters he killed, he also kept a tunneler. It was interesting, to say the least. So why not keep it around and see how it tasted? 

When Aidiun returned from doing all of this, that was when he entered the dining room. There, he saw Eri and the other babies doing something. He tilted his head as Eri shouted, “Puppy!” 

“Po!” 

“Yay!” Eri cheered as she stared at the correct answers. And this was not the end, as the others did the same. That was when Aidiun sat down and watched her keep going. He muttered, “Eri, what is this?”

“Game!” Eri stated, her eyes narrowed as she stared at the plates some more. She continued to name what she had seen on them. But as she was doing that, Aidiun was staring intensely at the plates that were there. It had a lot of details. Plus, it seemed that Eri was also learning how to write them without realizing it. 

What an interesting way of learning. Aidiun smiled, “Eri, can I give it a try?”

“Mmhmm.” Eri was the one who picked up the plates, “Uncle Aidiun, what’s this?”

“Is that area?” From how it was designed, the owl was definitely used. But Eri shook her head, “Nope! It’s an owl!”

Aidiun chuckled, “Where did you get something like this?”

“Papa!”

“...” Obvious. When there was stuff like this, Keith would always be the one to do something. Guess I will talk to him about this later.
