Episode 109

* * *

Belorus, who had collapsed powerlessly and was imprisoned in jail.

Those who had lost all their memories and even had their abilities absorbed muttered while scrubbing the floor.

“Why exactly are we doing this?”

“I wonder…”

They had definitely rushed all the way to the East with the single-minded determination to meet the Purification Mages.

But when they opened their eyes at some point, they were sweeping and scrubbing the corridor.

The servants nearby spoke as if envious.

“How does it feel to receive a direct corridor ‘purification’ order from the Purification Mage?”

“Uh, well…”

“To think you had a direct conversation with That Person! I’m so envious. I heard they disappeared like the wind again…”

But they were bewildered.

They couldn’t understand why they were here, and it felt as if someone had stolen the abilities they possessed.

Beneath the feet of those who were cleaning the corridor like enchanted people.

Strangely, the shadows began to ripple little by little.

Watching the gradually disappearing shadows, the dusters they held in their hands dropped to the floor with a thud.

Their bodies trembled and convulsed, and their fingertips grew cold.

As if their life force had been stolen.

But the shadows were still continuing to move.

* * *

Right when the three people perked up their ears.

Noise was heard from outside the door.

“It sounds like wind.”

Berry first crouched down and looked through the gap in the door. But nothing was visible.

Airi raised her hand up high.

The current Airi was nine years old, practically an adult child.

She had to become the leader among these seven-year-old babies!

“I see. First, we must stay calm.”

“…?!”

Berry and Sole’s eyes fixed on Airi.

“Let’s check why the door is closed.”

Airi peeked outside through the keyhole visible near the door.

Outside was completely consumed by pitch-black shadows.

The moment Airi looked away.

The faint shadows rippling in the corridor slowly seeped in through the door crack.

Then soon, pitch-black shadows began surging in fiercely like waves.

“Everyone stick to the wall!”

“Understood.”

Unlike Berry, Sole covered his eyes with both hands and trembled as he muttered.

“Some, something feels really strange.”

But Airi boldly stepped forward.

“I’ll protect you. Both of you!”

Airi had the [Detection Ability] she had absorbed just before.

She could see something as dark as the deep sea flowing in rapidly through the door crack.

It was like pitch-black mudflats, or dark seawater in the dead of night.

Cookie in her bosom poked his head out and muttered urgently.

[I sense corrupted divine power!]

Airi knew too.

That thing gave off the same energy as what she had absorbed in the forest created by Belorus.

‘It’s prey that I can purify and absorb!’

Airi took a light deep breath. Then slowly raised her hands. At that moment, Sole asked while trembling.

“What, what are you trying to do? Should I go and check it out?”

“Stay still.”

Berry also looked flustered.

“Lady Airi. Why are you looking at the door? There’s nothing there.”

“No, there is. Then, Berry. Please cover Sole’s eyes tightly for a moment.”

Airi was now thinking of manifesting her power.

But she had to act like a ‘strong person.’

The moment she confirmed Berry had covered Sole’s eyes.

Airi, who boldly stood blocking the children’s front, took in all the shadows that had filled up to her feet with her whole body.

The ring of purification in Airi’s belly spun round and round like a whirlpool.

The shadows that had been rushing madly as if to kill everyone.

It took only exactly five seconds for all of it to be absorbed into Airi’s body.

Instead, only a very bluish light remained at Airi’s feet.

Airi caught the blue light that was trying to flutter and move like a butterfly and shouted.

“Got it!”

Sole trembled and stuck tightly to the floor.

But right at that moment.

A bright blue light blazed up like fire from Airi’s fingertips.

Bang, crash!

At the same time, a sound so loud that even Airi was surprised rang out.

Seeing the bluish light burning Airi’s hand, Berry urgently raised his hand.

“I’ll handle it!”

Sole also trembled as he muttered.

“It’s dangerous. The, the light is bur, burning…”

“It’s fine! This is a good thing!”

Airi could tell what this light was.

‘This is completely purified divine power!’

The bluish light was slowly but completely absorbed into Airi’s fingertips.

‘Thanks to the bad villains who sent shadows to scold us, Airi awakened again!’

She was so excited that she wanted to do Airi’s signature butt dance that Grandmother loved.

But there were baby friends in front of her.

Airi tried hard to restrain herself to maintain her dignity.

In place of such Airi, Cookie thrashed about wildly in her bosom.

[Divine power is originally the power of healing. To possess both purification ability and healing power at the same time! Well done! Airi!]

Airi, who laughed sinisterly with Cookie, suddenly thought.

‘Oh, if it’s the power of healing!’

She seemed to be only a 3-star hero still, but if she had the power of healing…?!

Airi boldly stood in front of Sole.

And decided to resolve something that had been bothering her since earlier.

“Listen well! You, come here!”

“Uh, huh?”

Sole stood hesitantly in front of Airi, flustered.

First handling light with her hands, then appearing boldly in front of him.

Truly a series of tremendous presence!

Sole, who had instantly become intimidated, muttered.

“Wha, wha, wha, what…”

“I’ll fix your ears!”

“Huh?”

Airi’s hand instantly reached Sole’s ear.

The ear marked with traces of demonic influence writhed wildly as it touched Airi’s hand.

Sole hurriedly tried to cover his ear.

But Beri grabbed Sole’s hand with a click, saying.

“Trust and leave it to her. Lady Airi can do anything.”

Just as Sole’s eyes wavered at this almost cult-like faith.

A bluish light flowed from Airi’s hand.

Soon after, Sole’s ear transformed into a normal human ear.

Even the traces of wounds quickly disappeared.

“Wow! It worked! Now let’s hurry home and save Grandmother too!”

Just as Airi was admiring herself while dusting off both hands with claps.

Sole’s eyes became very wide.

“Wh-what, what, what are you? You, you look really strong!”

“Hehehe. I am pretty strong! But at times like this, you should say thank you first.”

“I, I’m a beggar so I don’t know such things.”

“Oh my.”

“Thank you! Thank you!”

“Good! Very well done!”

Airi ended up with a very proud expression.

At that moment, Sole looked at Airi.

Snow-white hair and violet eyes, a brightly smiling face.

Until just now she seemed ordinary, but this is strange?

She looked like a very powerful and incredible child.

It felt like even a halo was shining behind her.

Should I say she’s exactly like a knight from a fairy tale?

Sole clutched his heart tightly and muttered.

“Wh-what is this? My heart is acting strange!”

“Why?”

“It, it beats thump-thump whenever I look at you! I, I must have caught some disease.”

At that moment, Beri assessed the situation and said dryly.

“Then you should just stop it, your heart.”

“If, if I stop my heart, won’t I die?”

Watching the two bicker, Airi’s eyes widened.

‘What’s this?’

Why do they seem to be fighting?

But Airi was more interested in something else than those two.

‘I want to quickly check my status window with Cookie!’

It feels like I’ve become some incredibly powerful child!

Cookie in Airi’s arms kept trying to come out, then stopping, then trying again.

But checking the status window seemed like it would have to wait a while.

Right then, the sound of a door rattling open was heard.

“There was a noisy sound, so I came.”

All three people looked toward the doorway simultaneously.

Then they saw Declan standing in front of the door.

“Elder, you came.”

“I came thinking it was dangerous, but you handled it again?”

“Yesss!”

“But what’s this now.”

What was spread before Declan now was the boy Sole, his face completely red as he glanced at Airi.

The boy Beri, who used to be Karhen, looking uncomfortable at that sight and blocking Airi’s front.

Airi, proudly sticking out her belly and lifting her chin with an expression expecting praise.

So this composition, it’s exactly like…

As Declan was organizing his thoughts.

Jackvell Marquess, who had come out to search for the children with him, muttered eerily from behind.

“What else could it be. I can see it clearly.”

Despite already being established as a quiet lunatic in Declan’s mind, he dares to throw in comments.

“Jackvell Marquess, you say nothing. It’s unnecessary.”

However, Jackvell Marquess made his blue eyes shine as he stroked his chin like a detective.

“I was planning to raise Sole nicely in the East when he woke up… Hmm, does this mean all the Eastern children like Lady Airi?”

“…Don’t make strange deductions. It’s irritating.”

He thought grumpily while looking at Airi holding both their hands and giggling, and the two shy boys who only rolled their eyes.

Anyway, everyone knows my daughter is cute.

Just as he was having such doting thoughts, Declan suddenly looked down at Airi.

‘This is strange.’

The moment he received news that some test subjects had collapsed, a loud noise came from the room where the children were.

He had rushed here urgently, worried about the children’s safety.

He forgot to maintain distance from Airi and examined the child.

So he had gotten a bit closer than the usual appropriate distance of 50cm from Airi.

A situation where he was a whole 10cm closer than usual.

But why on earth does Airi’s condition seem fine?

Airi, who had been smiling brightly, looked up at Declan and asked.

“Gasp! What’s wrong? Elder?”

Declan unconsciously reached his hand carefully toward Airi.

At a very slow speed.
