On the third day, Tesla is not at home and Uncle George comes to visit the family. The one Kaylie would call Uncle Sea. "I have never seen a boy immersed in books nowadays, or it's difficult to see a boy spent time reading books, or I have seen your son reading many books since he was a child."
George's common sentences whenever (after he entitled) he becomes a visitor to the house. George's peak of curiosity is always about the library in the house. Seeing Kaylie reading many more different and thickness every time over years, he would be eager to ask if the house has a library. A small library or some kind of books shelves to store all the books Kaylie has read since he was a child.
Because he wouldn't believe it if the house doesn't have a library if the son or daughter likes to read books.
And Melas would reply 'no', it's all from the academy library. He won't bring many books home. His mother wouldn't let him have much time with books. She will ask him to do anything she wants him to do. Time Kaylie's spent at home is either in the kitchen or at the field.
It's raining, and Uncle Sea made a decision he would take a rest on a rainy day. In the region where he's living, it was hard to have it to have raining season. Mostly, it's summer all year until the end of the year. The reason the town could hold many festivities without much difficulty, related to the weather. Because they wouldn't have to worry about the blowing wind, pouring rain and cold weather.
He has come a lot of times in the past like a kind neighbor visiting his neighbor. And every time he came, he would see the wonderful child sitting anywhere with a book on his lap. Now he came again, the child he saw in childhood didn't change in his teenage years. Still with his books. And the sentence is common for him to say whenever he saw Kaylie with books. "Dear Kaylie still loves books as usual."
"And you're same still the same with net and fishes and sea."
Kaylie had enough time with the same sentence over and over again. Over the years.
The nicknamed by him Uncle Sea would just laugh. He learned from Melas that his son is sharp tongued, but for George he likes the way Kaylie speaks. He speaks of nothing but honesty and truth. Maybe because he's neighbor, the kid in front of him might have chosen the sentence carefully, still it's the reality.
The way Kaylie with books still same him with sea. He was young and a sailor. After quitting the job, he's still missing the sea. So, he took the job being a fisherman. He has not been proud of any kids or not because he's Melas's son, but the way Kaylie carries himself is a lot of different from other kids. He has seen Lavish Academy's students and each of them have their own merits.
Kaylie's two suits for, one for the library, the other for baking. In Lavish Academy any visitors can recognize the students and courses they took because each of the courses had their own uniform which one can tell easily which students belong to what courses according to the suit they wear. The baking courses would have its brand of fork and spoon on their cape, while library is the word of library written on it. The reason for it is new students on new year could easily find their own assemblage and faction. In Lavish Academy, Kaylie is the one who had two suits of uniform which on certain day he would wear based on academy schedule.
The reason he had two suits is that he's from a baker family naturally in this traditional academy, each of the students enrolled on based to what their families specialized in. Following the mother, naturally the course would go up into his hand is bakery.
Kaylie's library suit begins with Melas. He brought him to the one and only library in the academy, and that's how it begins. Occasionally, Melas would take him to library to read books in meantime, Melas would have his time sleeping while waiting for kid to read books. As time goes on, Kaylie naturally becomes one of the library leaders, even though the only thing he ever does is sleep. He got the idea as he always sees Kaylie read books at any time. It was a waste for Kaylie if he didn't see the world of books instead of a few books he brought with him from the palace when he came.
"Kaylie, would you make a coffee?"
"Are you sure, mister?" Kaylie makes coffee, its bitterness can last for a few days. It's his habit to tease the people he wants to tease, especially those he has power over. Other people teasing is light and fun, but Kaylie teasing is kind of hard. For Melas, Kaylie teasing is a big problem. He always had questions about anything Kaylie did. Like a cup of coffee he made, every time Kaylie poured the whole coffee bag into the cup whenever he asked Kaylie to do it is. He wanted to complain, but 'If you complain, you lose. Be brave.' 'A loser don't complain.' is what Kaylie told him last time. He tries to make one on his own, but the drink goes to drain after a sip. He would wonder how George can drink it like a drinking the usual drink with lots of sugar while he drinks it like sipping hot water? The answer for bitterness he asked is always the same. George answered it with a smile on his face, "Life is always bitterer than sweet. Everything is particularly."
He couldn't understand completely but looking at his own life, half or quarter, a bitter drink is better than bitterness in life along with complaints. He doesn't want to praise Kaylie, but the kid realizing lots of people the truth about life.
And Uncle George would have dry laughter. In the end, both of them have a sit in the kitchen, having what they want. It's not much, but only the usual cakes, cookies, and confectionery. It's the same cake and same recipes, and he has long tasted them, but each time he puts it into his mouth he can't get enough of it. Furthermore, it's like they tasted different each time he ate them. If one complains, it's because the taste is very good to make him eat it over and over again. No cakes and breads in made by Ianchesters' tasted bad once. Nor did he hear any cakes made by them being complained. Rather than complaints, what he heard most were compliments. The only complaints coming is anything made sold out quickly till they had to place order in advanced otherwise they wouldn't be able tasted a good cake from Ianchesters'.
