Episode 115
Airi and Cookie dropped to their knees with a thud.
This time, a truly special reward was coming.
Airi and Cookie held hands and quickly escaped from the wasteland that had become a flower field.
With their short, chubby legs, they hurriedly arrived at Ortejo Castle, washed themselves thoroughly with splish-splash sounds.
As soon as they reached the bedroom, they immediately knelt on the floor.
The strengthened child, Airi.
The strengthened friend, Cookie.
The two clasped their hands tightly together and recited prayers silently.
“Great hero Regent, Director, everyone please give me strength!”
Airi and Cookie looked into each other’s eyes.
Soon after, text appeared above the item window Cookie had created.
You will receive ‘Old Romance Potion’ as a reward!
You will receive ‘Capital City Magi Map’ as a reward!
“Old Romance Potion?”
“Capital City Magi Map?”
Airi and Cookie looked at each other.
At that moment, two thick objects appeared above Airi’s hand.
[Old Romance Potion]
Can temporarily heal 5-star level or higher Magi.
“Yes! Finally! Finally I can heal Elder!”
“Oh, right! We can buy some time even if it’s brief!”
But right then, Cookie pushed up his water droplet rice cake glasses and muttered.
“What are those tiny terms and conditions written below that potion?”
※ However, can only be used when the Capital City’s Magi has decreased to 0%.
At that moment, Cookie quickly showed the Magi map.
[Capital City Magi Map]
Capital City Magi contamination level: 90/100
“Do we need to reduce 90 to 10?”
“It seems like it.”
Cookie thought for a moment and then said.
“Then do we have to go to the Capital City?”
“Capital City…!”
A place she’d never been to but heard about many times from Grandmother!
‘Then do we have to leave the Northern Region?’
While Airi was deep in thought, Cookie spoke solemnly.
“Now, Airi. Right now, Northern Region, Capital City, whatever – none of that matters at all.”
“But that seems really, really important?”
“Now that we’ve received the special reward, haven’t you thought that you might have become a 4-star hero?”
Airi’s eyes widened.
At that moment, she felt the purification ring inside her belly spinning with a whoosh.
Airi opened her eyes wide and gripped the potion tightly.
“Yes! I’m curious if I became 4-star! Let’s check quickly!”
Cookie made clicking and drumroll sounds with his mouth as he showed the status window.
[Status window of ‘World’s Most Powerful Hero’ Airi’s purification power!]
3-star: Light ‘Shield’
▣▣▣▣▣
(…)
4-star: ‘Sacred’ Light
□□□□□
※ Special ability: Divine Power
☞ Go to item window
Cookie, who had been staring at the status window, muttered.
“A 4-star Purification Mage is called Sacred Light.”
“Why?”
“Right, I guess only Purification Mages who possess divine power can rise to 4-star level.”
Airi and Cookie both thrilled at this clever deduction.
Airi was amazed by her own powerful divine power, and Cookie was amazed by his own incredible reasoning ability…
It was somewhat like having different dreams in the same bed.
“So then Airi, are you going to the Capital City now?”
“Huh? No, there’s someone I need to heal first.”
Airi gripped the [Old Romance Potion] tightly.
Then Cookie tilted his head.
“Huh? Why? That won’t work, will it?”
“No, …not Elder.”
* * *
“You want to heal me?”
Airi looked at the ‘moon’ ring on Grandmother Yelshanad’s finger and tilted her head.
‘Something doesn’t suit her…’
Following Airi’s gaze downward, she looked at the ring and flinched, then opened her mouth again.
“You want to heal my demon ears with your power?”
“Yes!”
“Then, there’s a condition.”
“Huh?”
There are conditions for healing too?
The eyes of hero Airi, who had experienced all kinds of hardships, wavered.
Then Yelshanad spoke solemnly.
“…Dance.”
“Gasp! You mean Airi-style butt dance, Airi-style fist-shaking dance?”
“What’s fist-shaking dance?”
“As the old saying goes, seeing once is better than hearing a hundred times. I’ll show you!”
It didn’t seem quite right somehow…
Anyway, Airi enthusiastically performed the fist-shaking dance.
And finally obtained Grandmother Yelshanad’s permission!
Airi clenched both fists tightly and looked at her.
Airi’s fingertips brushed against Grandmother Yelshanad’s ear.
As Airi’s hand moved, the empty space where the ear was located began to ripple.
Yelshanad’s extremely sharp and pointed ears began to become round.
At first they became plump like dumpling ears…
The faint darkness gradually faded, and ordinary human ears appeared.
Airi smiled brightly and extended her hand.
“Ears! I fixed them!”
As soon as Airi finished speaking, Yelshanad slowly raised her hand.
It was truly warmth she hadn’t felt in a long time.
She slowly let out a sigh.
Then she asked as if spitting out a question.
“…Child, would you like to eat something delicious?”
“Oh, no! I’m really, really fine.”
“Hmm? Why.”
Looking at Yelshanad, Airi smiled brightly.
“I think I need to leave the Northern Region now!”
She tried to say like a hero that she would diligently fulfill her ‘mission’.
Something’s a bit strange?
Grandmother Yelshanaad’s expression instantly contorted.
Airi tilted her head.
Grandmother, why does your expression look like that?
“This seems like something to discuss with your father. So….”
She looked like she couldn’t bear to open her mouth.
Even more tremendous despair appeared on her face than when she had demon ears.
‘Why does she have that expression?’
Since the grandmother who should be blessing the hero’s future didn’t look good, Airi also became dejected.
But right then, the door opened.
“Airi, you. You’re leaving?”
It was an elder leaning crookedly on one leg.
Airi nodded vigorously like a well-mannered child.
“Yes, that’s right!”
“…Where are you going?”
Airi shot up into the air like a bullet.
“I’m going to the Capital City!”
“When?”
Airi tilted her head.
‘I haven’t decided yet, but they said when adults ask questions, you should answer politely!’
As she was thinking hard with her little head, Cookie in her pocket sent a telepathic message.
[The sooner the better! Look at your elder’s expression. He’s ready to kill someone. Isn’t he going to die like that?]
He can’t die!
Airi carefully answered, recalling Cookie’s words.
“In 1 second?”
Thud.
This sound was Grandmother Yelshanaad’s body falling to the floor.
Right after she collapsed on the floor!
Cookie pulled out a teleport scroll he had obtained from somewhere from his pocket.
“Should we go now then?”
And Cookie’s sinister appearance was also caught in Declan’s sight.
The moment he faced the teleport scroll with ‘Capital City, Imperial Palace’ written on it.
Declan saw a vision of Airi arriving at the Imperial Palace in the capital.
“How did you come to the Imperial Palace?”
“I came by scroll.”
Declan snatched Cookie’s scroll in one second and said.
“Now, Airi Ortejo.”
“Yes.”
“Explain the reason for going to the capital according to the five W’s and one H.”
Airi, five years old.
She doesn’t know what the five W’s and one H are.
As she just rolled her eyes around, Declan asked.
“Do you want to go because of the amusement park?”
Huh?
Amusement park…?
* * *
Meanwhile, at the eastern Jackvell Duchy.
Prince Berry had brought tremendous change to the East.
The East had originally been cultured in atmosphere, but there weren’t many who paid attention to ancient etiquette.
However, Berry had created countless etiquette rules.
But today was a little different.
Just hearing that a letter had come from the North, this rigid etiquette boy instantly transformed like a seven-year-old child.
After giggling for a while, wasn’t he rereading the letter a hundred times?
“What does the letter say, Prince Berry?”
“Th, that’s….”
Berry’s face turned bright red.
The boy headed to Jackvell Marquess’s study with the letter tucked back in his chest.
Behind him, the servants’ voices murmuring ‘It must be puppy love. How cute…’ didn’t even register properly.
Even while heading to Jackvell Marquess, Berry kept recalling the letter Airi had sent.
I’m going to the capital but Grandmother collapsed!
So Elder said, let’s go play at the Eastern Amusement Park one last time before going to the capital!
Serafin and Elder and all our family are going together!
Karhen, no, Berry is also our family!
Let’s meet soon!
While handing over the letter Airi had sent to Jackvell Marquess, Berry said.
“…So I want to go to the amusement park with Lady Airi.”
“Hmm, should I just give the amusement park to the princess?”
“Ah….”
“Since you like her. I like the princess too.”
He grinned and signed Prince Berry’s outing approval documents.
“I should go to the amusement park too.”
“What?”
“I’m eager to see our prospective daughter-in-law.”
At the words ‘prospective daughter-in-law’, Berry’s cheeks turned bright red.
At the same time, the image of Declan in armor came to his mind.
“Who says she’s your prospective daughter-in-law?”
Why could he imagine it without even seeing it?
Anyway, amid expectations of a fierce battle between two adults at the childlike amusement park!
The Northern Region’s hero, Airi.
She was lying in bed, hugging her heart that was pounding at the thought of eating churros at the amusement park.
‘I’ll eat churros and ride the carousel too!’
I have to go again later with Southern Grandmother, so I need to look carefully.
That’s right.
Airi, five years old.
She was a child who didn’t know that this world’s amusement parks don’t have churros and carousels, but instead have plenty of ‘other things’!
