Volume 10 Chapter 22: Getting More Rice

"Let's see what kinds of vegetables are grown here," Keith was quite eager to find out. He had found quite a lot of the ingredients from yesterday. But he knew there had to be even more over here! 

"Got any places you want to go to first?" Keith glanced up at Long Hao. The child was his tour guide. 

"Mmhmm!"

"Lead the way!" Keith grinned as he rushed in the direction the boy pointed to. That was when they arrived at quite a beautiful place. It was full of farms; he could also see many people working. 

"What's this?"

"…Farms."

"Is this where your food comes from?" Keith looked up.

"Mmhmm. Rice and others."

"…" Did you come here because I talked a lot about rice? Keith's mouth curved. Let's go down there right now. With a grin, he walked down. As he did so, he noticed the kids working in the fields as well. I get why he brought me here.

"Hmm? Young Man, why are you here?" One dragon person noticed Keith.

"Can I get some rice?" Keith didn't hesitate.

"…Sure, but it's not harvested." The plants were right there. That was when Keith smiled, "Then how about I help you collect the rice?"

"Sure, but are you fine with this?" The size of the field was nothing to scoff at. It would take them a whole day just to finish it. 

"I'm fine with that! What about you three?" Keith glanced up at Long Hao, Aria, and Fira. 

"Mmhmm!" "Yeah!" "Ho!" The three were the same. 

"Then I'm thankful for the help!" The man grinned. Having an extra set of hands really helped out. 

"What do I need to do?"

"It's actually quite simple. Do you see those paddies right there? You just need to collect the ones that are bright red like this. You can tell by the shade."

"Gotcha," This is simple enough. Keith asked the boy, "Do you have any spare clothes in his size?" This child wore a princely suit; there was no way he could work in those. 

"Of course," The farmer quickly returned with some worker clothes for Long Hao.

"Pretty good on you, Haohao." He was wearing trousers and a short-sleeved shirt. 

"Mmhmm!" Long Hao beamed. That was when the two started to work. As they did so, Keith was a fast worker while Long Hao tried to follow his lead.

"Boy, you're a natural at this!" The dragon man was quite surprised at how fast he did so.

"Thank you. I'm all in it for the rice!" Rice! The only thought was to obtain that rice! While he continued to pull, Long Hao was having a tough time. That was when a dragon kid came and helped him pull. 

"Like this?"

"Mmhmm!" The bigger dragon kid nodded as he taught Long Hao how to do it. Keith continued to smile, but he refocused on the work. That was when,

"We're done so faster because of you, Boy!" The dragon farmer, Huo Ye, gasped. It was quite a thing. He had finished one field instantly. 

"As agreed, I get some of the rice, right?" Keith grinned.

"Of course. But you need to use flame magic on it." Huo Ye explained. 

"Eh?"

"This type of rice is special as it absorbs fire magic. It increases flavor as more flames are added into it." 

"….Understood." Without any hesitation, Keith scorched that thing with super fire!

"…"

"Oooh!" Long Hao and the other kids were amazed by the giant fire column.

"What was that?!" That was when a fox man came over. The giant pillar of fire was quite eye-catching to everyone. 

"Oh, Osamu. This man right here said that he was going to help gather rice in exchange for some." Huo Ye explained.

"Ah! If that is the case, then can you help me out! Our rice is also quite different from Hou Ye's farm." Osamu smiled. 

"Sure!" Keith's eyes glimmered with brightness when he did so. But as he was about to, he didn't forget about Long Hao. For him to do all of this would be quite difficult for the boy. He would need something else.

"Guys, do you want to play a game?"

"Hmm?" Long Hao and the other kids tilted their heads.

"Line up in a circle if you can,"

"Okay!" The kids quickly did so. He quickly picked an open field to play,

"Check this out," Keith started to kick a ball up and down from the ground. It was quite skillful and easy. That caused the kids to be quite amazed as they gazed at him.

"Want to play a game?"

"Mmhmm!" The kids nodded their heads. With a snap of his fingers, Keith had made two goalposts. 

"You kid the ball into them, and it's considered a goal. Two people can stay there. And the rest need to use their feet. Understood?" 

"Mmhmm!"

"This should be good," Keith smiled as he looked at that. And like that, he taught the kids how to play soccer.

"You guys place nice, okay! Don't let anyone get hurt!"

"Okay!" The kids quickly nodded. Keith then headed over to Osamu's farm.

"Sorry about that."

"It's fine. You got the kids to move around," The fox was happy about this. The kids would have nothing to do to pass the time. Having a game helped out a lot. That was when Keith started to move on those paddies.

"Is there anything else you need help with?"

"Can you help me move these things as well?" Somehow, there were even more farmers around. That caused Keith to grin, "On it! I'll get to work." The whole few hours were spent working. And he had obtained a lot.
