Volume 12 Chapter 10: What Kind Of Monster Is Ruby?
"Eh?" Muriel's eyes widened as she saw the boy behind her. She didn't reply as she quickly ran away from there! Blink. One blink from the boy had caught up with her, "Am I that scary?" Why do so many people think I'm a lion? Heck! Herrick is the lion! But there were so many people looking at him in reverence!
However, everyone just wanted to run away from him.
"No! You're not!" Muriel paused as she looked at him. And that was enough as Keith caught her.
"..." Keith and Muriel were now sitting at a table. An ordinary conversation. But it was anything other than that. Keith had a normal aura around him while
"Can you tell me why you've been trying to avoid me?" He had noticed it. When Keith came here to try to talk with her, she was not there. Well, she was. But it was clear she was hiding from him!
“...How can I not? After all that has happened to you.”
“Hmm?”
“My brother was the one to send you to F-class. How could you be this unfazed?” This didn’t sit well with her. When she headed to S-class that day, she saw that Keith was not there.
It made her heart skip a beat when Aidiun told her he was sent to F-class. That was something that caused her head to freeze. How could this have happened? More so than that, she even went to her brother and asked some questions.
Hmm? Yes, I was the one who set him down to F-class. A person like that shouldn't be in S-class. Her brother was so casual as to say this like it was the law.
“How can I face you after knowing what my brother did?” She couldn’t look Keith in the eye after this. To hear what his brother did to gain power wasn’t something she could stand. Tears started to drip from her eyes when she thought about it.
“Muriel.”
The princess looked up to see Keith with a gentle smile, “You and Chelan are not the same. I don’t hold a grudge with what Chelan did.”
“Eh?”
“I’m pretty much having fun in F-class. There are a lot of interesting people here.” Keith laughed. F-class was fun and carefree, which was pretty nice.
“So there’s no need for you to be like this.” “Okay.”
“Now, let’s get back to doing some studying!” Keith rolled up his sleeves. He couldn’t forget about this.
Muriel laughed, "Seriously, how could you be like this?"
"I don't know, to be honest." Keith shrugged, "That's just who I am."
...
“I would like to have rush bull skewers!” “Coming right up!”
A usual and common thing. Despite being sent down to F-class, that didn’t stop Keith from working on his cart. Carolyn handed the orders over to Keith, and he quickly got the skewers ready.
Shakti couldn’t help but mention, “Keith, you have got to sell the sauce as well.” She was tasting the honey soy sauce glaze, and she couldn’t help but salivate.
“Hmm? Maybe I should.” Keith thought about it, but there was really no need for him to do so. Well, if he would, then he would do it later.
“Keith! More working! And stop flirting with the customers!” Carolyn called out.
“Hey, how can I not flirt with the customers when they’re so cute.” Keith grinned as he stared at Shakti. Shakti blushed as her lips arched upwards, “Aww, Keith. You don’t need to say we’re flirting. We’re already a couple.”
“Hah! Get out of here, Keith is my hubby!” Carolyn quickly dashed before the man and blocked everything. She looked like a little lion cub. But that caused Shakti to chuckle, “Child is so adorable.”
“Indeed.” Keith grinned. But that only caused Carolyn to pounce, “Keith, you’re a meanie! Ruby! Attack!”

“Cuu!” The little baby then came out of her breast pocket, but Keith used one of his moves, “Here’s a kernel.” A corn kernel was thrown over to him. That was when the little baby started eating as he floated on Lei’s head.
“Awww!”
“So adorable!” The others couldn’t help but mutter as they watched this cuteness unfold before all of them. Ruby added an extra layer of cuteness to it.
“By the way, Keith. What kind of monster is Ruby?” Morgan and the other female adventurers were patting the little baby’s head. They had never seen such a cute creature like this before. And this goes for Mir and Lei, as they were not normal.
“Mir comes from a monster from my home city, while Lei is a different breed that comes from another place. But I actually don’t know what Ruby is.” That was something he was confused about as well. The egg that he found was in the S-rank dungeon. I should ask Grandpa Cadmus about this.
