Volume 2 Chapter 18: I Can’t Watch!

White beet. 

The vegetable Keith obtained from the spirit was white beet. It wasn't like the red beet. The sugar content in white beet was high.

 I couldn't find sugar cane. That was the most common method to make sugar. But white beets work the same way as well! 

But these look different from ordinary white beets. Keith stared at them. They were a perfect sphere. It almost looked like a pearl instead of a vegetable.

How does it taste?

Keith smiled as he sliced the white beet. But this was surprising. The juices from the beet overflowed. He didn't even bite into it. Yet, the juices were overflowing onto his hand!

"Let me try a piece," Michael asked. 

"Me too!" "Po!" "Hoho." Fira, Mir, and Aria shouted too. 

"Sure." Keith cut thin slices for all of them to try. Keith bit into it. There was a crunch. And as he chewed, 

Woah.

He remembered white beets had a mild and sweet flavor. But this one had a strong and pronounced flavor. The sweet flavor was enhanced.

This is perfect!

Keith smiled as he took out his pot and a cutting board. The first step was to cut the skin. Originally, the process was to cut off all the black parts from the vegetable. 

But there weren't any dark spots on the vegetable. 

All of his vegetables became like this with Fira here. They were perfect. Once he peeled the skin, Keith started to dice the beets. He chopped them thinly. That way, he was able to extract the sugar content even more. 

He tossed the beets into the pot with the water. 

"How long are we letting this boil?" "For 1-2 hours," Keith answered Michael's question.

"That long?!" Michael blinked a few times when he heard that. But Keith stated, 

"You can't rush greatness. Also, we need to work on the ceiling of the last section of the resting area! I have an interesting idea."

"Hmm? What do you want to do?"

"I think the last one should have a glass top! That way, sunlight would come down!" Keith stated. It would be a good idea for sunlight to shine into the area. 

"But I think we need strong glass. I'm afraid something might happen if it's regular." Keith thought. A rock could crack it by accident.

"You don't have to worry about that. I'll get the glass." Michael had an idea of where to get it. Michael turned to the knights, 

"Now get to work! The young master has new ideas!"

"Understood!" The knights shouted as they got to work. As they worked, Derek and May came to help out as well. 

Michael asked Keith, "Kid, I heard you have gotten some interesting fruits." 

"When did you hear that?"

"I heard that you and Gus were messing around with it. And you guys were screaming." Michael heard that Gus and Keith were screaming. 

It was because of a fruit the two ate. 

"We were." Keith needed Gus's help in experimenting with the lemon. They kept screaming about how sour it was. 

 "And what do you want from me?" Keith questioned. 

"I want to taste it," Michael stated!

"...Are you sure you want it?" Keith asked. Keith made a devious smile as he asked this. But Michael was undisturbed. 

"Do you think you can scare me?" Michael stated with a huff. This man had brought back so many delicious things. I bet they were screaming because of how delicious it was! There was no way he could believe him!

"We want to try too!"

"Yeah!"

"We're not afraid."

The knights added too. They were curious about the taste. Derek grabbed Keith's shoulder, "Little brother, sharing is caring. Don't hog all of it."

Keith shrugged, "Alright, but don't blame me for it." Keith took some lemons out of his storage. He cut them into wedges to taste. 

Derek, May, Michael, and the knights were interested.

Fira shouted, "I can't watch!" 

And there was no need to. Aria covered Fira and Mir's faces with her wings, not wanting them to watch the horrible scene that was about to unfold. 

And they bit into it at the same time!

"Argh!!!!!" All of them screamed out! They couldn't believe the taste of it! Their lips were pursed shut. Keith took a step back when he saw that. Derek and May looked fine. 

It was cute.

But when a bunch of middle-aged people do it...yeah. There was no need for a description.

"Kid! How could you do this to us!" Michael was the first person to roar. This kid was too mischievous! 

May was also in tears from how sour it was. But Keith explained, "But don't you guys feel more refreshed?"

"Eh?" Their expression turned blank. 

"Now that he mentioned it."

"I feel a lot lighter!"

"I think I can work for hours!"

The knights couldn't help but move their arms around like windmills! They felt much lighter and refreshed after all of that screaming. 

"Maybe we can use this as a ration," Michael questioned. This fruit would give a boost to tired knights. But the knights interjected, 

"No!"

"Don't do this to us!"

"Are you trying to get us killed?!"

"...But it's useful." Michael couldn't deny it. But the taste was something he couldn't agree on either!

"I have some ideas to reduce the sourness," Keith stated calmly. He had been working with Gus on this. Michael picked the child up, 

"Really?!"

"Mmhmm! I know a few ways. But I have to do a lot more testing on it." Keith smiled.

"That's good." Michael stated, "Also, let's hand this to others."
