Volume 10 Chapter 36: Cornstarch

Keith woke up the next day, his eyes immediately drawn to the small box. The baby Samui was sleeping inside. Keith could see a glimmer of hope in the slight improvement in the Samui's condition from yesterday. His breathing was more stable and soothing. Keith reached into the box, his hand gently stroking the baby's head. The touch was soft and comforting; he was hopeful for the baby's recovery. 

"Hope you get well soon. You can definitely play with your siblings soon." Babies should be jumping up and down; to see one like this was heartbreaking. With those words, Keith headed outside. It was time for him to calm down and make some breakfast.

Keith had gotten up quite early, his mind already focused on the day's task. Corn starch. That was what made him excited. With the corn he had obtained, he could make this. It thickened up anything he made much sooner; baked goods were also a thing. 

The first step was prepping the corn, a task Keith had already completed; the corn needed to soak overnight. Actually, it was more so with his after everything that occurred. The next step was to put them into a wind sphere.

Slowly, as the corn turned into a powder, water was added. And he tossed it into the bowl and added more water. Using a cloth, he separated the liquid from the solid. 

The solid was cornstarch. 

After some time, the white residue was left. That was when Keith waved his hand. A small flame had appeared in his hand. It was time to dry it up. Baking was a good way, but magic works just as well! After some time, the paste hardened up. It was time for Keith to make it now.

A slight grin formed as he ground the corn into powder. He was eager, almost impatient, to make this soup. 

Making breakfast was simple. The first step was to pour the chicken stock and then add the spices to enhance the flavor. It was a familiar and soothing process. With the base, Keith had tossed in some cornstarch water to let it thicken up. 

That was not the end, as he beat some of Eldi's eggs and poured them into the soup.

 Slowly, ribbons of eggs formed in the soup. 

Egg drop soup was incredible. Golden, yellow, and green: it was an excellent combination of colors. And that was not the end as he opened the rice. The last thing on the list was spinach and grilled salmon. As Keith prepped the fish, 

"Delicious,"

"Woah! Ms. Zhu! How are you here?!" Keith blinked. 

"Smell something nice."

"…" Okay, but this isn't your house. Did this woman forget about this being someone else's house? Last time he checked, this was Setsuna's home. 

"What's with that smell?" And now came the homeowner. 

"Blugh!" Keith almost spat out when he saw that. It was Setsuna. But the problem with this was how she was dressed. The woman wore a kimono, and it was tied loosely. That band around her waist was close to untying itself! Just one flick was enough to cause everything to be seen. 

"Oh, my, what's that?"

"Madam! Your clothes!" A maid quickly came over, but it was too late, as Setsuna had already put her entire body over Keith,

"So what are you making today?"

"Spinach with soy sauce, grilled salmon, aqua rice, and egg drop soup." Keith calmly explained. 

"Ooooh! That sounds amazing." Setsuna grinned as she was dragged away by the maids. That was not the end as Zhu Liqin continued to stare at him as he cooked. This was something he was used to. Over at her house, Keith was always being stared at; it was just the usual. 

After a few minutes, he noticed two familiar faces already there.

"Good morning, Keith." "...Yeah," Keith could only shake his head as more people entered the dining room. The group had their meal. It was sort of a little break for everyone. After what had happened, they needed it. 

...

After having the meal, Keith then returned to his room. He didn't want to leave him alone, so he sat beside the baby. His hand was placed inside the box, gently stroking his body. 

That was when he responded; the Samui rubbed his head onto his hand. Eyes widening, Keith stared. Should I also give him some dragon honey? It would definitely help out. Keith didn't mind as he poured some honey out into a small bowl and placed it before him.

Keith shook his head. The only thing we could do was to stick by his side and hope that nothing bad would happen.

"Mmhmm."

"I can't give up!" Keith slapped himself. He quickly got out and started to train. As he continued to do this, a thought came to his mind. Since I made cornstarch, couldn't I make that as well? This treat was quite simple to make as well.

As he was lost in thought about this,

"Cuu!" That was when Ruby smacked his head.

"I should make it," Keith grinned.
