Episode 125

* * *

“Where did the Grand Duchess go?”

“She must have gone to prepare for Part 2 of the party.”

In Airi’s absence, ten girls chatted quietly among themselves.

“It was certainly unusual food.”

“But it was still too rustic, wasn’t it.”

The puffy cheeks like steamed buns kept coming to mind, so Pina shook her head inwardly.

Don’t think about it!

Today was the day they came to teach a lesson to that country bumpkin who knew nothing about etiquette, after manipulating their mothers to force their attendance at this party!

The children voiced their criticisms one by one outside their mouths.

But…

“…Well, it did taste pretty good though?”

Somehow their momentum had weakened a bit.

Then, Malenda quietly murmured.

“But what is Part 2 of the party?”

“Ah! It’s called 【Super Duper Strong Party】… What on earth is she planning to do.”

Malenda’s expression twisted.

“I’m tired and just want to go home quickly, but she’s planned a Part 2 too.”

At Malenda’s single comment, the girls’ sentiment stirred.

It was just when opinions were gathering that it must be because it’s a country bumpkin’s party.

Suddenly the door opened slightly.

“Huh…?”

Airi walked in with precise steps, wearing a pure white knight’s uniform reformed for a child.

At that moment, the girls’ eyes widened.

Airi’s aura was fierce and her attitude was exactly like a knight’s!

Cookie sent a proud telepathic message.

[As expected, a knight’s uniform suits the prince!]

Airi confidently lifted her chin up.

“Good evening? I shall begin Part 2 of the party. In Part 2, I plan to show you interesting martial arts!”

Daisy, who was in the middle of studying social etiquette, made a displeased expression.

“Where is there a Part 2 in a social party? And what martial arts.”

Seeing the dissatisfied pouty expression, Airi sat down with a sharp sound.

“In the adult social circles, they do 【Knight Parades】 and 【Fencing Duels】.”

“Th-there were such things…? But that was 30 years ago.”

“30 years ago isn’t that long ago! According to old etiquette, I shall show you the martial arts that knights perform during parades at the end of Part 2 parties!”

Daisy, who was in the middle of studying social etiquette, blinked her eyes.

Since it was called martial arts that knights perform during parades, as someone learning etiquette, Daisy was intrigued.

The colorful magi visible around also proved this.

‘Going according to plan!’

But it’s still not enough to become a ‘prince’!

Airi glanced around her surroundings.

The darkened night weather was a bit chilly.

Moreover, perhaps because the window was left open, wind was blowing little by little.

She could see the children shivering slightly.

First!

A ‘prince’s’ coat is prepared for the ladies!

Airi spread out the knight uniform’s cloak with a swoosh and covered Melody’s shoulders next to her.

“The weather is very cold, Miss Melody.”

“Huh, huk…?”

Feeling the magi puffing out in clouds, Airi proceeded to the next step.

Second!

A ‘prince’ doesn’t fear even powerful crises!

At perfect timing, an insect seeking light attacked through the window gap.

“Kyaa, kyaaaah!”

Normally the servants would have caught it, but Airi raised her hand high.

“Everyone be careful.”

The very next moment, a stag beetle was grasped in Airi’s hand.

It was lightning-fast speed.

Child Marsha, who feared insects the most, made a shocked expression.

“Di-did you just catch it with your hand?”

“Yes, I caught it for you.”

Then she released the stag beetle outside the window.

“The stag beetle is also a living creature, so I’ll send it outside.”

“So, so you mean, you can catch bu-bugs?”

“That’s right. If you’re a true child, you should catch bugs for lady children who are scared.”

Before long, magi was flowing out from Marsha’s body too.

Marsha picked up her child-sized soup cup and stuck close to Airi’s side.

“It’s not because I like it. If bu-bugs come out again, you’ll catch them, so that’s why!”

For someone who said it wasn’t because she liked it…

Airi stared blankly at the brilliantly colored mist above Marsha’s head.

‘The magi, it’s all been absorbed?!’

But she had only dealt with two people so far.

Third!

A ‘prince’ is like a mage who performs the magic that ‘princesses’ want!

The next target is Daisy!

‘Kuhuhuh. I already know your weakness!’

Airi rummaged through her pocket.

Each time she did, the precisely fitted knight uniform shone majestically, capturing the children’s attention.

Airi smoothly pulled out a paper from her pocket.

“Child Daisy, do you know about magic wands?”

“Uh, huh?”

If it were a suspicious adult, they would have made a bewildered expression instead of “uh, huh.”

But Tasha, who liked magic wands, was also undoubtedly a ten-year-old child.

“I made a magic wand with flowers.”

Adults would only scold her with things like ‘What’s a magic wand?’ or ‘It’s dangerous so you can’t touch it.’

‘I referenced the anime 【Magical Girl Peach Peach】 for the magic wand design!’

No girl child could resist this!

Thus Airi systematically took down the children one by one.

But just one person.

Only Malenda didn’t fall for Airi’s skills.

‘Malenda’s magi is too thick, so once won’t be enough.’

Was it because it was night?

Seeing Malenda’s somewhat drowsy eyes, Airi decided to show a powerful finishing move.

“I will now show you the knights’ cool martial arts and conclude Part 2’s splendid party!”

“Oh, what is it?”

All the other children except Malenda looked at Airi with curious gazes.

Airi glared at the mist, no, the subtle shadows spreading around Malenda.

Flinch.

Airi jumped up from her seat and performed a powerful flying kick toward the air.

The Shadow Knight near Malenda flinched.

“Th-th-that is. I am a knight who protects Lady Malenda…”

“Barging into a ladies’ party without permission is untrustworthy!”

“I-I-I apologize. Yes. I’m sorry…”

Airi, who had been glaring at him, brushed off her hands with a pat pat.

“As a fellow knight, I shall accept your apology.”

“Yes, yes.”

After the knight was hastily driven away.

Nevertheless, Malenda didn’t lose her dreamy face and cynical expression.

As if she cared more about something other than the Shadow Knight’s presence.

But unlike Malenda, the atmosphere among the other children was heated.

“What! Even though we’re just little kids, sneaking into a ladies’ social party. How disappointing!”

“That’s totally bad!”

“If Lady Airi hadn’t been here, our party would have been reported to Mother! It’s so stressful, really!”

As Airi quietly took her seat, all the little ladies’ gazes focused on Airi.

“Everyone, please don’t be too angry. I dealt with the friend who was disrupting our party.”

The children, who had only seen static social parties, looked at Airi with curiosity.

Dopamine was rushing through her body.

And then, the child who had planned this party.

Airi lifted her chin up high and said.

“From now on, if there’s any dangerous situation where ‘secret parties might be discovered by parents,’ please call me!”

Even at Gyeonghye Taekwondo Dojo, when middle school boys bullied friends, Airi would step in!

Airi touched her belt as if adjusting her belt and said.

“Even if you’re scared of nightmares you have every night!”

“H-how did you know we have nightmares?”

“Even if you’re scared of your tutor’s test papers!”

“…Right, I’m anxious every day.”

Airi clenched her fist tightly and shouted intensely.

“I will defeat them with one powerful flying kick that even defeated a real knight!”

Hearts bloomed in the eyes of the girls looking at Airi.

“Come to think of it, Daisy, princes usually have silver hair, right?”

No. It’s blonde hair.

“Yeah, Pina. I think princes usually had purple eyes.”

No. It’s blue eyes.

But to the young ladies here, what this wonderful five-year-old had shown them looked quite impressive!

Meanwhile, Airi saw the fluffy mist rising around the children.

“Heuup!”

As she inhaled, magi flowed in.

And…

Cookie in her chest bounced like a rabbit and showed her a map.

[Capital City’s Magi Map]

Capital City Magi Contamination Level: 50/100

(Great success, Airi!)

Airi got extremely excited and bounced her feet.

‘The magi dropped super super fast! Now only half is left!’

But still, these children too, and the magi map too.

Something seems too easy?

Airi thought of the numerous forms she still had to show.

But right then.

“What’s so fun that everyone’s laughing about.”

There was a child who poured cold water on the excited situation.

It was the child who had been spreading cold air all along, Malenda.

The children who had gathered around Airi also hesitated for a moment, reading Malenda’s mood.

But right then.

The dining room door opened carefully, and two well-dressed boys appeared at the doorway.

“Berry! Seraphine!”

“Yes, we’ve arrived.”

“Lady Airi, it’s time to end the party now… but…”

However, there was something that no one here, not even Airi, had anticipated.

That was…

The little girls had firmly grasped Airi’s hands.

Round, rice cake-like hands were wrapped layer upon layer by the little ladies’ hands.

“Lady Airi, you’ll play with us, right?”

“Not with the boys!”

“…Hmm?”

“You’re a knight! You have to play with us!”

Airi felt tremendous déjà vu.

Elementary school girl characteristic!

They’re sensitive about interactions with same-gender friends.

And…

They have possessiveness toward cool same-gender friends!

The children’s eyes sparkled toward Airi, then soon changed to hostility toward their opposite-gender friends.

Airi, fixated on ‘princes,’ had overlooked that the children here were also elementary school age.

As Berry and Serafin gradually approached Airi.

The children opened their sharp eyes.

They were like nine knights protecting Airi.

Shocked Berry thought.

‘…Rivals appeared?’
