Episode 108

But you see.

Declan also possessed considerable inner strength when it came to being crazy.

The two men’s gazes clashed in the middle.

Declan grinned wickedly while gritting his teeth.

Fortunately, Declan had a decisive blow left.

“But what can you do? It has no legal binding power.”

Declan gestured toward him with his chin.

“Since I completely destroyed that document the families were going to implement.”

Jackvell Marquess, no, the crazy man’s blue eyes suddenly became dejected.

Declan stood up with a painted victor’s smile.

“Let’s go, daughter.”

“Yes!”

Airi, who had been quietly rolling her eyes between the adults, stood up.

Then she politely clasped her hands together and bowed.

“Then please take care.”

Declan glanced at Jackvell Marquess. The crazy man’s eyes annoyingly sparkled again.

‘But why do I feel uneasy?’

…Bang!

Airi saw the door slam shut violently in front of her.

Declan, who didn’t seem to care about acting rudely, spoke gently to Airi.

“Shall I bring some water to wash your ears?”

“I’m fine! But, I couldn’t meet the sick person, and I couldn’t meet Karhen, no, Berry either…”

“Ah.”

Declan glanced toward the end of the corridor.

Excluding Jackvell Marquess’s annoying nonsense about daughter-in-law and whatnot.

He also liked Karhen, no, Berry very much.

He grinned.

“Look, he’s coming behind you.”

Airi turned around with a bright smile.

She was about to call out “Karhen” when her eyes widened.

‘What! Karhen, no, Berry has become really really strange!’

Because…!

“Th-those are really really familiar clothes?”

Declan narrowed his eyes.

“Right. That’s…”

Declan looked at Karhen, no, Berry with a bewildered expression.

“…mine?”

…The armor Declan wore during parent observation day in the Northern Region.

It looked exactly like that armor.

No, to be precise, it was a seven-year-old mini boy version of that armor.

The boy walked over diligently and politely bowed.

“I came to see you.”

…The clanking sound every time he moved was a little cute.

* * *

Leading Karhen, no, the boy who had now become ‘Berry Jacquel’ Young Boy.

Declan winked at Airi and stepped aside.

Airi boldly entered the room with Berry wearing armor.

Meanwhile, Berry felt like his heart would burst.

It was his first time meeting Airi with the disguise magic tool only half undone.

Jackvell Marquess told him to maintain the state with only his hair color changed while reconfirming the external forces that had penetrated the East.

Thus Berry came to have light gray hair and blue eyes.

‘I heard Lady Airi is doing something tremendous.’

He waited with an anxious heart, befitting a guardian.

When Jackvell Marquess finally said to prepare for a meeting with Airi.

Berry made a resolution.

To meet Airi in the coolest appearance in the world.

And the coolest person in the world that Berry thought of was Declan.

Specifically, Declan who saved Airi on parent observation day.

So he asked the servants to help him squeeze into Northern Region-style armor on his small body…

Remembering how Airi’s mouth had been hanging open the entire time until entering the room made him feel somewhat dejected.

“…Is it not good?”

“No! It’s really really cool! The best!”

When Airi spoke with all her might, Berry beamed.

Seeing Berry smile brightly, Airi also smiled like a well-fed cat.

“Berry smiling brightly makes me feel really really good! You know, Berry!”

“Yes.”

“Is it because you found your family and you’re happy that you can smile like that?”

Finding family was good.

Though it was still awkward…

‘But this smile was because I’m happy about Lady Airi.’

Putting a little of his heart into it, Berry spoke carefully.

“…I’m happy because Lady Airi seems to like it.”

Airi smiled brightly and nodded.

“I like Berry too!”

Then, Cookie stirred in her pocket.

[Well, Airi. The reunion is nice and all, but there’s something you two decided to do when you met.]

It meant to find someone Airi could save with divine power.

‘Right, Berry was with the servants so he must have heard more than me?’

Airi, who had been thinking about the strange square in her status window, took a deep breath.

“Berry! You know, is there anyone here who’s sick or went through bad experiments?”

“Pardon?”

Airi lowered her voice and said.

“I got divine power! I think I can save sick friends with divine power!”

At those words, Berry flinched.

Someone Airi could save with divine power immediately came to mind.

The test subject, the fake Berry Young Boy who was revealed to be fake.

‘But I don’t want them to meet.’

The ‘real’ Berry, Karhen, had no resentment toward the fake.

But Airi meeting that boy was a different matter.

Anyone who met Airi would end up liking Airi.

‘…I don’t like that.’

But even so, Berry was a ‘guardian.’ Airi came first.

“The fake Berry Young Boy woke up but I heard he’s in pain. I heard he was experimented on by Belarusian Count too. His ears hurt a lot…”

Worry filled Airi’s eyes.

“…His ears hurt? Then, I want to go save him!”

“Yes. Shall I tell you where he is?”

Even though he had worked hard to put on armor, their meeting was very short.

But Berry was happy just seeing Airi smile.

Airi smiled brightly and extended her hand.

“Do you remember that time?”

“Huh?”

“When we saved the White Knight Order. Back then we were the 7 Companions, but now we’re just the 2 Companions!”

It was a reminder of memories that had been helpful to Airi. Berry’s expression instantly brightened cheerfully.

Just as his mood was lifting.

“Berry needs to live plump and cozy with grandpa, so this might be our last mission. Let’s do our best!”

Airi would leave and he would have to stay in the East, so this was their last mission?

His emotions instantly went on a roller coaster.

But Airi, oblivious to the confused boy’s heart, sprang to her feet.

“Let’s go!”

* * *

The two of them successfully obtained permission from Jackvell Marquess!

Including Cookie, the three entered the sickroom of the ‘fake’ Berry who had supposedly been affected by the Magi.

Most of his past memories had been erased, with only his name remaining clearly.

Cookie in her arms muttered.

[How strange. He’s just like those guys I made clean the bathroom earlier. There must be someone using divine power corruptly.]

Just as Cookie frowned deeply.

The ‘fake’ Berry cried, soaking his pillowcase.

“Waahhh. Why, did you come to mock me too! That must be it!”

“I’m not mocking you.”

“I can’t remember anything from even the day before yesterday. I only know my name is Solein, but I think I was a parentless beggar. Now I’ll live like a beggar.”

“How can you live like a beggar!”

“I don’t know, my beggar friends are probably doing well… A fake. Why have I only done bad things in my life. Sniff.”

“No. You can just live kindly!”

“Why, what, why. I’m a bad guy so you can treat me however you want!”

…There was no getting through to him.

Airi clenched both fists.

“I won’t treat you badly! Don’t worry. I’ll teach you proper etiquette!”

“But I don’t know anything about etiquette or manners…”

“If you’re lonely being alone! There’s a demonstration from Sole’s senior and skilled instructor available.”

“What…”

“A whole thirteen-year-old friend. Originally very scary but there’s a friend who became a good child.”

“Hmph, I’ll be different from him. They said I was under the evil influence of monsters. Even if my ears get treated, hiiing… There’s no way I’ll be ‘reformed’!”

“I’ll make you plump and chubby like a baby puppy. So just show me where it hurts.”

Karhen, who had been silently watching the two bicker, finally realized.

For Airi’s 【Sole Etiquette Lessons】, the skilled instructor Serafin would appear.

At the same time, his own Hybrid Creature Friends would show up too.

If that happened…

‘Catastrophe?’

Then, Sole, who had looked dejected, soon touched his ears.

“My ears do hurt, but they’re really weird. Strange things keep poking out! I can’t show you.”

But his chubby, plump hands couldn’t cover his ears completely.

Airi blinked at seeing something pointy sticking out from Sole’s earlobe.

‘Huh? I’ve seen this before.’

Yelshanad Grandmother’s monster ears.

Who liked Airi so very much.

The white-haired Grandmother who eagerly awaited Airi becoming a 4-star hero.

It looked like that grandmother’s ears shrunk down to a very small size.

“B-but if I could just look once…”

But just as Airi raised her hand.

Someone knocked on the door, then made a clicking sound.

Berry whispered quietly.

“The door’s been locked from outside.”

…Why all of a sudden?

The three people, or rather the children who had inadvertently become ‘the three musketeers trapped in a room,’ looked at each other.
