Episode 121
* * *
That’s right.
Maximilian’s gossip paper located near the slums was no ordinary gossip paper.
It was a tremendous yellow journalism publication.
‘Kehehem, people love it when cold characters become warm.’
Was it thanks to this newspaper selling like hotcakes?
He was able to enjoy the leisure of a cup of coffee in the busy streets of the capital.
Moreover, sure enough, every table in the coffee house was talking about just that.
“For the great Purification Mage to appear even in the capital city…”
“Exactly! Doesn’t she have connections with the Ortejo Ducal Family in the North?”
“That infamous North?”
“What are you talking about? I heard they’re suddenly doing good deeds. They’ve completely reformed!”
“Hmm, perhaps it’s thanks to meeting the youngest princess again?”
“Come to think of it, I heard he cherishes Lady Airi so much? The rumors were everywhere.”
Maximilian, who had been listening to the conversation at the table, proudly sipped his café latte.
‘With all this seasoning I’ve added, they won’t just throw the orphanage children out on the streets right away.’
It was when Maximilian, with a proud heart, contentedly left the coffee house.
In the center of the busy street, he saw many priests dressed in sacred clerical robes.
They were packed so tightly there wasn’t even room to step.
‘Ah, the Saint of the Streets has come out!’
The one called the Saint of the Streets, Cardinal Ibenna.
He was also the second-in-command of the Holy Papacy, headed by the Pope.
‘Truly amazing. In that position, there would be no need to personally engage in service.’
Cardinal Ibenna was conducting relief activities, making the sign of the cross in the air as if drawing a blessing.
‘Countless poor people have been saved by the Cardinal, right?’
Come to think of it, he seemed to have often seen Cardinal Ibenna in the slums too.
‘He was doing service work then too.’
Come to think of it…
【Cardinal Ibenna, Suddenly Selected as Her Imperial Highness the Princess’s Tutor!】
‘Ah, there was content like this?’
To even gain the honor of being the princess’s tutor.
He truly was an amazing person.
But it was also strange.
He had definitely met a holy person, but somehow he felt unsettled.
Maximilian left the place with a somewhat uneasy heart.
* * *
Airi ended up falling flat on her face in the corridor.
She had managed to bring the children from 【Palace Orphanage】 to the town house like the Pied Piper…
Grumble.
All the children’s stomachs rumbled in unison.
Airi and Berry felt déjà vu at the same time.
The exact same situation as with the hybrid monsters from the Mage Tower!
But these were more children who were even hungrier!
“Your names are Camille, Seina, Velli, Ekro! Right?”
“Yes, that’s correct.”
“What food do you like? Mugwort? Rice cake? Yakgwa?”
“We’ve only eaten grass porridge with lots of grass in it…”
“Oh, no way! You have to eat lots of delicious things!”
After letting out a shriek.
Airi worked hard with the servants in the townhouse to make delicious food.
But even with five kitchen staff working together, it was nowhere near enough to nutritiously feed boys in their prime.
Airi rubbed her arms that seemed swollen like they were full of eggs and let out a deep sigh.
“Isn’t there a way to feed all these children until they’re full at once?”
There was one method.
To become chubby, she needed grandmothers…
But right now there wasn’t a single grandmother!
It was right when Airi let out a sigh, “Whew.”
Creak!
A loud noise reached her ears.
Serafin tilted his head and approached the window, saying.
“Little one, has it been discovered that we did something tremendous?”
“Huh?”
“So many carriages have come!”
Splendid carriages arrived one after another at Declann Ortejo’s town house.
And those who got off from there were none other than…
“Look outside the window! There are so many carriages?”
Airi, standing next to Serafin, stood on her tiptoes.
But the townhouse window was too high.
Even jumping in place, she couldn’t see well.
Glancing to the side, Serafin was a whole two spans taller than Airi.
‘Our heights weren’t just comparing acorns after all!’
Unlike Airi who became somewhat dejected, Serafin tilted his head.
“Grandmothers are getting off? Huh?”
After Serafin’s commentary ended, Airi tilted her head.
“Wh-what…!”
Right when Airi and the children were wondering whether to go outside or not.
The sound of heels clicking grew closer in the corridor…
The door to the reception room burst open.
“Our babies, come here.”
At the familiar voice, Airi turned around.
“Waaaah!”
“It’s Grandmother!”
“Oh, Grandmother has come.”
Melissa Marquess lifted up Serafin, who was trying to act dignified, with one hand.
The arm muscles of the grandmother who was once a holy knight were strong enough to lift even a thirteen-year-old boy!
The moment Serafin was caught in Grandmother’s attack and froze stiff, being subjected to ‘cuddling’!
Behind them, the 10 members of 【Airi-Loving Grandmother Squad】 appeared one by one.
“Gasp! Wow! Grandmothers!”
Airi ran out like a baby foal with its tail on fire.
“Oh my, oh my. Our puppy!”
“Grandmothers have come!”
Airi bowed and wiggled her body enthusiastically. She wanted to dance but had something to say!
“Um, Grandmothers! You came at just the right time! I brought my friends, but I’m fine so I want to feed these friends something delicious!”
“Something delicious…?”
“Yes! The babies are so so hungry!”
At the mention of hungry children, the grandmothers’ eyes flashed.
Then, the children from 【Palace Orphanage】 hesitantly bowed their heads in greeting.
“H-hello.”
Each greeting was different, but the rumbling sounds came out in chorus just the same.
The children were looking at the newly appeared grandmothers with curious expressions.
However, only Camille, who was the leader of the orphanage, was cautious.
The grandmothers who loved Airi were noble ladies, after all.
He became worried that they might dislike the orphanage children.
At that moment, Melissa Marquess, who had been standing at the front and had stopped patting Serafin, strode forward.
“Airi, my baby!”
“Grandmother!”
“You’re thin as a thorn! You too, and your friends too!”
“Huh.”
How did you become so weak? I’m about to cry…”
The eyes of the 【Airi-Loving Grandmother Group】 reddened.
Airi said energetically.
“That’s right! Me and the children, all of us need to get plump like chubby puppies!”
At those words, the eyes of the 【Airi-Loving Grandmother Group】 became determined.
“Don’t worry. We’ll make the children plump and chubby in just ten days!”
“Wowww!”
Airi made a delighted expression and nodded her head vigorously.
A noble lady who caught Airi’s expression like a ghost said.
“Oh, come to think of it, would our baby like to eat then? I brought a cake topped with plenty of her favorite mugwort?”
“There’s also delicious nutritious soup made with purslane~?”
Airi clutched her heart tightly.
Thump thump…
Her heart rate was higher than when she rode the Ferris Wheel!
“Huh, huh. Su, surely. Co, could it be.”
“Could it be?”
“Bl, bl, black sesame too…?”
“I put black sesame in milk with a plop, ohohoho.”
Airi’s eyes widened.
Airi was a child from the older group, close to being an adult.
But in front of black sesame milk, she couldn’t help but become small.
Airi was firmly surrounded among the white-haired grandmothers.
At that moment.
Southern Grandmother casually started a conversation toward Serafin.
“You look like a martial artist. I learned martial arts in the Capital City.”
“Wow! Amazing! Sister Grandmother! Please teach me!”
Another grandmother subtly stood next to Berry.
“I worked as a knight at the Eastern Mage Tower, and looking at your hands, you seem like a knight? Are you thinking of protecting someone?”
“How, how did you know?”
Everyone was already completely enchanted by the suddenly appeared grandmothers.
And…
The only existence that the grandmothers failed to ‘discover’ in this place!
Cookie, the inanimate object in Airi’s bag, thought.
‘All the children have been won over!’
Until then, Cookie had been feeling relieved.
But…
After several hours had passed.
Cookie looked around quickly.
The grandmothers’ skills were tremendous.
They washed and put to sleep Airi, Berry, Serafin, and the children of 【Palace Orphanage】.
With just one pat-pat from the grandmothers, all the children lay down in the reception room like drowsy cats.
Especially Airi was making “nom nom nom” sounds with her eyes tightly closed.
[Airi! You need to unfold the 【Magi Map】!]
…It seemed like Cookie’s telepathy wasn’t getting through either!
‘At this rate, they might settle down here and never complete the 【Magi Map】!’
In the chocolate chip eyes of the capable summoned being Cookie, a powerful earthquake occurred.
Then what Cookie had to do was!
‘I need an elder!’
The only thing to do was call an adult to handle the situation!
