Episode 159

His eyes blazed as if he would kill Declan at any moment.

He began making movements to charge at Declan with clenched fists, trying to make contact.

“What, that’s nothing special.”

Declan easily dodged Pierre’s attack, but Airi felt worried somehow.

‘I want to help Father.’

If so, she needed to make contact with that side.

Airi quickly tried to cling to Pierre’s side.

But.

But….

She couldn’t see the soul.

Airi’s hand just passed through Pierre helplessly.

‘Because the test subject’s soul is inhabiting another body, my hand just passes right through!’

Airi stomped her feet with all her might and shouted.

“Do you know me? I’m the little ghost who was in the Papal States!”

“…Grr, grrrgh.”

Pierre twisted his body like a fish at those words.

He looked confused.

“You can hear me!”

“What the hell, what’s this crazy bastard plotting.”

Declan frowned as he watched Pierre, who had been charging to kill him but suddenly stopped, twisting his body in the middle.

Airi didn’t miss the opportunity and shouted firmly.

“Remember me! We were friends!”

Pierre might not have any other schemes.

He twisted his body and….

‘The fluffy cloud is coming out again!’

Airi knew the ghost’s face that was puffing up above Pierre’s head.

Airi had memorized the names of her test subject friends.

That child was, in other words, right away….

“We were friends! Not a test subject, I gave you a name! With flowers!”

The flowers that bloomed in the flower bed.

Even the lotus that was said to bloom in sewage.

The boy who smiled while looking at the flower Airi offered.

That boy was Test Subject 202.

A boy with the name ‘Jade’.

Airi waved her hand toward the boy and called out his name.

“Jade!”

…And when Airi called the boy’s name.

The test subject’s soul bounced out of Pierre’s body with a pop.

“Grr, grrrgh….”

And the boy, no, Pierre who the boy had possessed, collapsed to the floor like a demon.

As if this whole thing was really just an ‘experiment’, he collapsed unable to maintain possession of the body.

Airi quickly caught the escaping soul in her hands.

It didn’t take very long to purify the corrupted black power.

This time she was very lucky.

This boy was a test subject who remembered everything, even the very small memory of handing over flowers in the flower garden.

The boy, purified in an instant, muttered with a trembling voice.

“It was you, the precious little ghost of the Papal States.”

“Yeah.”

Of course, Airi was no longer little but a proper child now.

The boy gazed intently at Airi, who had straightened her shoulders confidently.

Feeling his vision gradually blurring, the boy closed his eyes peacefully.

The cleanly purified boy had a soul clearer than anyone else’s.

“Thank you….”

Actually, when she became a ghost.

Airi had made assumptions and felt a little, just a little frustrated.

That the cracks she had made might not have had much influence on the Pope.

That she might not be able to return to her family.

But….

“You, the movement of flowers, the flutter of butterfly wings… changed many things.”

“There were flowers but no butterflies though.”

“No, there were. The ghost’s gestures were just like butterflies.”

Test Subject 202, no, Jade smiled brilliantly. It was a very gentle and warm smile.

It felt like flower petals falling as rain.

With trembling words as his finale, the boy’s soul glowed and scattered softly.

“Huh, huh?”

When Cookie and Airi were both flustered.

That light slowly gathered and became a small orb.

Cookie firmly grasped Airi’s hand.

[You have acquired an item.

【Orb of the Living 1: Jade】 has been obtained in your item window.]

His soul became an orb and entered Airi’s [Item Window].

“If we find Jade’s body, then we can put this orb inside it.”

Airi nodded vigorously at smart Cookie’s words.

Then she gently caressed the edge of the item window as if patting the orb.

Hoping that someday he could surely regain life….

And the next moment, Pierre’s eyes snapped open.

“No! I was definitely in a meeting! What is this!”

He looked around at the chaotic surroundings with wide eyes.

“No, no, did a war break out?”

“You started the war.”

Pierre was shocked by Declan’s indifferent words.

“Lord Ortejo…! Pl, please put away your sword.”

“I understand, so come out first. You’ll have to go to prison for a while.”

“What? Pr, prison?”

“Yes. We need to search you properly.”

“No, wh, what. Someone who just woke up…! Grrgh!”

“…Ah, it’s bad for education so close your eyes too.”

“What? What education….”

Declan grabbed Pierre by the collar. For someone who said he had ‘developed love for humanity’, this was quite a radical move.

Watching this, Airi smiled proudly.

‘I saved another person! I saved Father too!’

Even though I’m a ghost, I saved someone and saw Father!

But there was just one thing.

There was one goal Airi hadn’t achieved.

That was….

‘Meeting Father and my family.’

Father, I miss you so, so much.

No, now that I’ve seen you.

I want to hug you.

I want to hug him tightly and say “Father!”

‘But Father still doesn’t know whether I’m by his side or not.’

If I tried to embrace him, I’d just pass right through him.

Just as Airi became a little dejected and closed the item window while holding Cookie in her arms.

Declan twisted his lips and smiled wickedly.

“Ah, right. Before that….”

Declan grabbed Pierre by the collar, dragged him out, and tossed him outside.

“Raspen! You’re outside, right? Take this guy with you.”

As soon as his voice echoed thunderously beyond the barrier, Raspen came rushing inside in a hurry.

“Lord Ortejo!”

“Take Pierre with you.”

“Your Grace, yes. I’ll take him, but….”

Raspen looked down at Pierre, who had been thrown on the floor and was pitifully coughing, and said.

“This time was truly, truly dangerous behavior! It was fortunate that the Pope was unexpectedly careless, but if there had been any problems….”

“No, it wasn’t dangerous at all. Someone was protecting me.”

Raspen looked around in bewilderment and asked back.

“What…. Who? There was no one here though?”

The smile lingering on Declan’s lips deepened even more.

Even though he had merely pointed his sword.

Pierre had been purified.

What that fact meant was clear.

That intuition seeped into his mind like a very fine crack.

Even without shoes that made squeaking sounds when walking, even if his daughter had no physical form, a father could know intuitively.

Because he loves her.

“Our daughter came to this area. So she heroically and magnificently saved this guy. Right?”

The eyes of Raspen, Airi’s ghost, and Cookie’s ghost all widened simultaneously.

And….

Raspen took a step back from him.

Only the two ghosts circled around him, marveling at his ‘intuition’!

“Wow…! Father is amazing!”

“Hey, doesn’t your dad have a dog’s nose or something?”

“Our Father isn’t a dog! He’s a person!”

“…Right, fine.”

At this rate, she might be able to let him know about her existence!

Airi, who was extremely excited, tried stomping her feet. Just like a habit.

Actually, she had often made eye contact with Father too.

But Airi also knew.

He couldn’t be completely certain that Airi was nearby.

So, until Airi gained a truly substantial form.

‘Isn’t there a way to clearly let him know that I’m here?’

But Airi had become completely a ghost.

“If there were a human who could communicate with you, they could tell him that you’re here.”

But there was no such thing as a ‘human who could communicate’ with her.

Airi thought deeply.

How could she get her body back? How could she meet Father?

And….

Then a pretty good idea came to Airi’s mind.
