Episode 118

The pure white light of the moonflower being absorbed into Declan’s body was clearly visible to Airi’s eyes.

“Huh, gasp! The strange light is so so…!”

But Declan still had a calm expression.

It was an expression as if he knew the identity of this light.

“Look, look at my body. No more magi now.”

“Huh…?!”

Airi’s eyes widened. Then she quickly checked Declan over.

Until now, she had always felt dark and gloomy magi from Declan.

This had been the case even after Airi gained the ‘Detection’ ability and became able to classify the colors of magi.

But…

“Huuuuuuh!”

“What.”

“Elder! Elder has been cured…!”

“I haven’t been cured.”

“Huh?”

“It’s a long explanation… This flower is a special flower that can hide magi when moonlight touches it. It’s a function that can hide magi so it doesn’t flow out to the surface.”

“Gasp!”

“As long as it doesn’t directly touch people.”

Cookie muttered.

[Then, Elder is hiding his magi?]

Declan gently shook the moonflower in his hand.

The flower that had given all its power to Declan was slowly crumbling.

It looked like a pressed dried flower.

“I don’t know what Olivia was thinking, but she left this…”

“Yes. That’s right!”

“You said you’re going to the Capital City?”

At the sudden change of topic, Airi tilted her head in confusion.

“Yes. That’s right!”

“I’ll go with you too.”

“…?!”

“Originally it was difficult to enter the Capital City because of my magi, but thanks to this, I think I’ll be able to visit the Capital City often now.”

With this much, the magi in his body should stay quiet for about a month.

Declan smiled broadly.

“So let’s go together, to the Capital City.”

Airi recalled what the Skeleton had said when handing over the moonflower.

That he was Olivia’s friend, and that he would be helpful someday.

‘Mommy’s friend skeleton is so so helpful!’

Even if she goes to the Capital City, she doesn’t have to part with Elder!

Airi smiled brightly and nodded her head repeatedly.

At that moment, the Ferris Wheel shook and began to descend at quite a fast speed.

Airi’s eyes widened.

But now she really wasn’t afraid of high places.

Until she safely set foot on the ground and landed.

She really wasn’t scared at all.

The highlight of the amusement park, lunchbox eating time had returned.

The seven people sat on a picnic mat spread on the grass under the moonlight.

When Milligan and Yelshanad, who had barely settled their motion sickness, sat in the middle of the mat.

Airi naturally snuggled into the white-haired Grandmother’s embrace.

“Hehe.”

It’s natural for a child to be held in Grandmother’s arms!

Yelshanad’s expression, which had been gloomy all along, instantly brightened.

“Is it my birthday today… Dear child, this grandmother packed a lunchbox to give to you.”

“Woooow!”

Airi looked down at the lunchbox Grandmother had packed.

With Airi’s face drawn on it…

‘Is this a character lunchbox?!’

Airi’s eyes widened.

Neither her past life grandmother nor the Southern Region grandmother had ever made such a lunchbox!

“I’m exceptionally good at cutting. I’ll do better than your maternal grandmother.”

“Woooow! There are sausages too!”

“Yes. I didn’t know what that thing called churros that you talked about all morning was, so we all made it together…”

Airi glanced at the character lunchbox and the messily made churros.

“Thank you!”

But if everyone worked hard to make it for her…!

Airi ate so enthusiastically that she completely emptied one section of the lunchbox.

Soon Airi, whose belly had puffed up round, suddenly got up and bowed politely.

“Thank you for the meal!”

Yelshanad and Milligan exchanged glances with each other.

“So, you’re leaving the Northern Region, ahem.”

Finally, it was the main topic.

Then Declan spoke.

“I’ve finished talking with her. She said she’ll go to the Capital City and then return to the Northern Region. I’ll accompany her as her guardian.”

Jackvell Marquess asked with puzzled eyes.

“What about the magi?”

“It’s been resolved.”

Though it was a brief statement, its impact was tremendous.

“What do you mean by that?”

When Yelshanad asked, Milligan added a word.

“…That’s right, father. What happened? Don’t tell me, the magi…”

While this was the maximum expression of surprise for them, Declan remained calm as ever.

“I just learned a way to hide the magi.”

“Ah…”

“…Right, a way to hide it.”

Milligan and Yelshanad briefly swallowed their sighs. Even knowing it was difficult, they had hoped that their son might have been completely cured.

Then, Jackvell Marquess spoke lightly as if to lighten the mood.

“Anyway, isn’t hiding magi also amazing?”

“That’s right. Though it’s thanks to my daughter.”

“…Even being able to hide magi is thanks to Lady Airi.”

Jackvell Marquess looked at Airi with a covetous expression while Declan somehow looked proud.

Berry, who had been looking back and forth between the two, quietly began to speak.

“Then…”

When everyone looked at Berry.

Berry took a deep breath and said.

“May I go to the Capital City together too? Since I have to protect Lady Airi.”

Before Declan could scold him saying what can a seven-year-old protect, protect yourself first.

Even his son Serafin raised his hand and said solemnly.

“Then I’m going too to protect the little boss! I was planning to go anyway! I can’t stand being left out alone!”

Declan pressed his throbbing forehead.

Somehow, the troublemakers’ misguided activities were anticipated during this trip to the Capital City.

But just as the conversation was concluding with all three people deciding to follow Airi.

That’s when Cookie quietly muttered.

[Wait, isn’t the North going to be too empty?]

Sure enough, Yelshanad made a disappointed expression.

“So that means Milligan and I have to stay at the Northern Castle?”

“Yes, that’s right. You need to protect the North.”

At Declan’s words, Milligan and Yelshanad’s eyes shook violently.

Airi glanced back and forth at Milligan and Yelshanad, then immediately gave them both tight hugs in turn.

“Grandmother, Grandpa!”

“Uh, uhhh?”

“I’m really, really strong! I’ll come back from the Capital City safely!”

“Still.”

“Yes.”

“Still, you’ll come back, right?”

“I’ll definitely come to see Grandmother and Grandpa!”

“Yes, you must come. When you do, I’ll make you ten lunch boxes.”

“Wowww!”

When Airi smiled brightly, everyone smiled warmly.

Yelshanad also faced Airi and raised the corners of his mouth with a twitch.

It was to equip the most gentle-looking smile possible.

A fun moonlit picnic before departing for the Capital City.

While munching on the fruit that Jackvell Marquess brought for dessert, Airi thought.

‘Playing at the amusement park is really, really the best!’

The amusement parks in this world are different from Korean amusement parks – they have magical beasts and some scary things too.

Still…

Fun memories were gradually being carved into Airi’s memory.

* * *

Meanwhile, the news that Airi was going to the Capital City also reached the Southern Region.

After leaving Airi in the North and returning, maternal grandmother Melissa Marquess had been languishing.

Since divine power had filled her body again, she couldn’t visit Airi for a while.

However, she was receiving letters from Airi every day.

Grandmother! I’m going to the Capital City? It’s the best!

That letter also contained her grandson Serafin’s handwriting.

To Grandmother.

How do you do?

I am the world’s most powerful martial artist, Serafin.

I heard you were very worried about me?

It would be nice to see you once when I go to the Capital City.

Then please stay healthy and strong.

He seemed to have become much more polite…

But he was a child who used rather peculiar etiquette.

However, Melissa Marquess was moved as she read Serafin’s letter.

“Serafin has really grown up a lot too…”

Airi was the baby who came to her hands right after birth, not knowing her mother and father’s faces.

She had been so busy cherishing the little child that she couldn’t pay much attention to Serafin…

‘I feel ashamed for not being able to cherish Serafin.’

As she carefully put the letters sent by her two grandchildren into the drawer, she thought.

On the day they meet again in the Capital City, she would give boundless affection to both Airi and Serafin.

‘So I should go to the Capital City where our babies are coming, fully armed.’

But just then.

The door to Melissa Marquess’s study opened and the 【Airi Love Grandmother Group】 burst in.

“Marquess, I heard Airi’s letter came today?”

“You should have called us right away!”

She shook her head looking at them who came without being called.

But they had already occupied the sofa in the study.

It was an appeal that they wouldn’t leave without hearing all of Airi’s news.

Melissa Marquess had no intention of breaking their iron-willed hearts.

Instead, she opened her mouth as if sharing information.

“Airi says she’s going to the Capital City.”

The grandmothers looked at each other.

Some cultured noblewoman lifted her teacup and muttered.

“Even if it’s Airi, the cunning old people of the Capital City might not be easy. She might get hurt…”

Adorable Airi might get hurt and shed tears!

Just thinking about it made the 【Airi Love Grandmother Group】’s fists clench simultaneously.

“Then those middle-aged geezers must have really poor judgment!”

“But there’s something else I’m more worried about. I heard there’s a strange plague going around the Capital City these days?”

“A plague?”

“There are ominous rumors that it’s because of the Magi… They say it’s only happening in the slums on the outskirts for now, but you never know. If our baby gets hurt…”

“We have to protect Airi!”

If there was even a 0.1% risk that everyone’s – though Melissa Marquess would never agree – precious granddaughter Airi could catch the plague?

No way, absolutely not!

They had to protect her absolutely.

And so…

“We have to go to the Capital City too!”

“Of course, of course.”

“You’ll go too, Marquess?”

“Naturally. I can’t go to the North, but I can go to the Capital City, can’t I?”

Finally, the 【Airi Love Grandmother Group】 decided to gather in the Capital City.
