Episode 131
* * *
The carriage carrying Declan and Cookie raced quickly and arrived in front of the Ortejo Family Townhouse.
Kuken, who had transformed into Cookie, skillfully hid his body inside the pocket.
“Hmm, humans are humans, but Cookie’s body is definitely better.”
“Be careful not to get caught.”
“Yes, yes, I understand.”
“And what’s that square box in your hand?”
“…Oh! I can see my adorable chubby piglet triplets over there!”
Cookie’s way of changing the subject seemed very suspicious. Declan sighed and said.
“There doesn’t seem to be any magi, so I’ll just leave it alone, but don’t give Airi anything strange.”
“I understand… But the kids look even stranger?”
Airi, Serafin, and even Berry were standing in a row in front of the door.
All three had gained weight and looked plump and white.
It was when Declan and Cookie, who had somehow become anxious, got off the carriage.
“Wow! You’re here!”
“Father, you’ve arrived?”
“Hello. In armor again today…”
Right after receiving the different greetings from the three children.
‘I really feel like I’ve become a father.’
Declan felt embarrassed and coughed a few times.
He was thinking of suggesting they go inside quickly.
“Hey, you guys.”
“Yes?”
“Why are your hands red, all three of you.”
They seemed to be smiling, so it didn’t look like they were hurt…
Whatever kind of game they had played, their hands were quite red.
“Did you dye your hands with balsam flowers or something?”
“No!”
At Declan’s playful words, the three little ones shouted in unison.
Then Airi put her hands on her hips like a leader and said.
“So, give us your hand!”
“…What?”
“That’s right! Hurry up and give it!”
Berry and Serafin stood guard on both sides of Declan.
As if to say there was absolutely no escape!
Just as Declan, who had been relaxed even when facing the cardinal, was flustered and hesitating.
Airi stretched out her hand.
In Airi’s hand was a rabbit-shaped stamp.
Like a brave child, Airi aimed at the back of his hand and stamped it with a thump.
“What is this…?”
This was something he had never experienced once in his entire life.
Airi smiled brightly while looking at Declan, who was instantly speechless.
“It’s a ‘Well Done’ stamp!”
“What?”
It was when he looked at the back of his hand with a dumbfounded expression.
Airi smiled radiantly and stomped her feet.
“You know, with Grandmother and Seraphine! We became really close while making stamps to stamp for the Elder!”
This was strange.
The brightly smiling child’s face felt more deeply engraved than the stamp on the back of his hand.
Declan asked quietly.
“That stamp, how do you make it?”
“What?”
“I’m going to make a whole bunch of them too.”
Airi nodded and chattered enthusiastically about how they could make them at Melissa Marquess’ Grandmother’s house.
Seeing Declan’s eyes flash, Cookie quietly muttered.
[What’s this? He looks like he’s going to make about a hundred of them?]
Airi kept wiggling her round hands.
Declan suddenly thought he hoped he could hug Airi before the weather got any colder.

After an incredibly touching reunion with Cookie.
Airi held Cookie in her hand and said.
“Cookie! Let’s look at the magi map!”
“Yeah! Good!”
Just as one cookie and one child’s gazes clashed sharply.
Cookie pulled out the magi map.
[Magi Map]
Capital City Magi Contamination Level: 25/100
“Wow! It went down to 25!”
Finally, we can save the Elder!
Then, Cookie cleared his throat solemnly.
“Airi, are you planning to be satisfied with just this?”
“Huh?”
“You need to check your status window too!”
[‘The World’s Most Powerful Hero’ Airi’s Purification Power Status Window!]
4-Star: ‘Sacred’ Light
□□□□□
(…)
4-Star: ‘Sacred’ Light
□□□□□ (Airi’s power is blocked!)
※ Special Ability: Divine Power
☞ Go to Item Storage
Airi and Cookie both opened their eyes wide at the same time.
“Huh?”
“…What, what, what is this? Didn’t you get stronger?”
“That’s what I thought…”
They had worked so hard to purify, but her power hadn’t increased.
But just as Airi became dejected and pouted her lips.
☞ Go to Item Storage
‘Go to Item Storage’ was emphasized in bold and flashed brilliantly.
“Wh, what?”
“I wonder…”
When Airi made a thoughtful expression, Cookie spoke boldly as if he knew something.
“Come on, Airi. Let’s click it quickly! There must be some amazing item!”
“Yeah!”
Airi nodded and tried clicking [Item Storage].
And what appeared was.
1. Demon Heart Fragment
A sharp object that can easily cut the back of one’s hand.
It can serve as evidence of the Temple’s corruption.
2. The water plants from the lakeside near Princess Rashe’s Palace that Cookie brought.
Water plants with suspicious hooks attached.
Sometimes used as medicine.
But no one knows their true efficacy. Maybe they’re just ordinary weeds?
“Huh? Is it trash? I definitely collected it because it seemed special!”
Airi quietly looked at Cookie and shook her head inwardly.
‘Cookie… Really a suspicious friend…’
Anyway, it says ‘sometimes used as medicine’!
Airi carefully put away the water plants.
Then she flopped down on the bed with a thud.
But at that moment, knock knock, the sound of someone tapping on the door was heard.
Cookie muttered with a disgruntled expression.
[Geez, just when I want to rest, why is someone knocking on the door?]
Airi energetically opened the door.
“Gasp! It’s Daddy!”
“Why am I daddy? Then are you my daughter?”
“…Yes.”
[Are they idiots…?]
But Airi pretended not to hear Cookie’s commentary.
Instead, she looked at what Declan was holding in his hand.
Between Declan’s index and middle fingers was a cream-colored invitation.
“Do you know what this is?”
“I don’t know!”
What Declan handed to Airi with a grin was…
[Princess Rashe’s Palace Party Invitation]
“Gasp, wow!”
“Now you can officially go meet Princess Rashe.”
Airi bowed her head and smiled brightly.
“At the time you enter the Imperial Palace to attend the party, I’ll send Purification Mage Kuken. When you absorb the magi from the Princess’s Palace, Kuken will make it look like he purified it.”
“Wow! The plan is very, very cool!”
“No, it’s very crude. I’ll say it again, the Temple isn’t completely stupid.”
“Gasp.”
“Gasp?”
“Then they’re a little bit stupid…?!”
The creative statement of a child who thinks ‘stupid’ is the worst curse word in the world…
Declan sighed and pressed his forehead.
“Airi, they already found out about the video magic device we have, right?”
“Yes…”
“The Temple will act more cautiously, and in that process, your identity might be discovered. So you need to be careful.”
Airi nodded her head vigorously.
“I understand! I’m prepared!”
Though it’s unclear if she knows the weight of the word ‘prepared.’
Declan nodded.
“Let’s prepare then.”
“Prepare… you mean!”
Airi’s eyes shone with great determination.
“I understand! What should I do first?”
And at that moment.
An ominous creaking sound was heard from far down the corridor.
Just as Airi poked her head out the door.
Berry and Serafin began approaching, carrying ‘something’ in both hands!
