Episode 175
‘Big brother’!
Airi felt goosebumps rising on her wrists somehow.
Originally, Serafin had served her as his leader.
Airi’s eyes widened in disbelief at Serafin, who had been her ‘subordinate.’
‘Watch carefully, I’m going to save him!’
Just as Airi gripped the teleport scroll tightly with her other hand.
A fist cut through the air in the crystal orb, then something moved frantically.
Dazzling hand movements!
With an incredibly loud noise, one of the cardinals collapsed to the ground.
‘He, he beat him…?!’
…With his fist?
Serafin shrugged his shoulders with a face that said ‘now we’re talking.’
“See. This is martial arts.”
“…”
“I utilized the secret technique you taught me when you were five.”
Serafin’s dazzling kicks flew toward the cardinal.
Literally, they ‘flew.’
‘It’s even stronger than the hectopascal kick…!’
Of course, Airi had never taught Serafin the ‘hectopascal kick,’ nor had she ever taught him to ‘beat people up,’ but she thought it didn’t matter as long as it helped the current Serafin survive.
‘I’m a flexible instructor after all!’
She didn’t realize that she was already considering herself Serafin’s instructor.
Airi watched intently as Serafin moved within the crystal orb.
Watching Serafin gave her a strange feeling.
‘What is this?’
Serafin had really become incredibly strong.
Airi’s eyes widened instantly.
But she couldn’t keep up with all of Serafin’s body movements as he attacked the cardinals!
Whoosh, as Serafin’s movements finished, Airi’s eyes grew even wider.
“Huh…”
As if five cardinals were nothing special, Serafin continued moving repeatedly.
“Lord Serafin and the cardinals don’t seem to be in the same weight class.”
“Huh, Serafin is too strong…!”
However, Airi soon realized something was off.
The cardinals, while not as strong as the Pope, certainly possessed great power.
So why were they just getting beaten up by Serafin like wooden puppets?
Airi quickly realized the truth.
‘This is bad movement!’
The cardinals moved as if they were luring Serafin somewhere.
‘Where are they going?’
Even while taking several, no, dozens of Serafin’s powerful punches, they smoothly moved up the mountain.
Airi tilted her head at their seriously swift movements, then froze.
‘Huh? On that mountain ridge…’
Even through the crystal orb, she could see it. Something full of darkness, thick and strange…
“Seraphine!”
At Airi’s single scream, Serafin frowned.
“What, are you worried about this big brother?”
Toward Serafin who looked completely carefree, Airi spoke each word clearly and distinctly.
“I’m worried about my subordinate! Be careful. Those guys are acting strange!”
Just as Serafin’s eyebrows crumpled at Airi’s mention of ‘subordinate.’
The cardinals, who had become half-beaten, suddenly all collapsed to the ground at once…
“…Huh?”
Serafin made a dumbfounded sound.
“They were probably being controlled.”
As if to give credibility to Cookie’s serious murmur, Serafin turned the crystal orb toward his back.
“Airi, look at this.”
It was a golden coffin that seemed to seal something.
“Doesn’t seem like much, what is it?”
Serafin naturally clenched his fist and struck the coffin with a bang!
“Ugh, urgh!”
The back of Serafin’s hand swelled up instantly.
However, the coffin’s lid didn’t budge at all. It seemed to be sealed with something very powerful.
“Huh, Seraphine! Be careful!”
Serafin looked like he didn’t care at all about his aching hand.
“…Why won’t it break?”
Serafin just stepped back from the coffin and spoke cautiously.
“It looks like it could be a dangerous substance. I can’t handle it with my hands. Probably, Father should come here first?”
Airi stared at the crystal orb that Serafin was showing her.
She could see pitch-black magi spreading like clouds near the coffin.
The most malevolent energy Airi had ever seen…
“I’ll go!”
Airi raised her hand high.
Now it was time for the magi extermination squad, Airi, to move.
Airi tore the teleport scroll.
And…
* * *
“Huff, huff.”
…She teleported to the middle of the mountain, not to the mountain peak where Serafin was.
‘This is an unexpected coordinate shift…’
But she wouldn’t give up.
She was going to save Seraphine from the strange golden coffin’s billowing villain clouds!
However, Airi’s body was still young after all.
“Huff, huff…”
“…Could it be that Airi has terrible stamina!”
At Cookie’s teasing, Airi clenched her fists and shook her head vigorously.
But…
‘Maybe that’s right…’
As Airi panted after walking just a few steps, Berry took her hand firmly and asked.
“Are you very tired? Shall I carry you on my back?”
“No, Berry would be tired too!”
Besides Berry and Cookie, there was also an adult by Airi’s side.
Declan, who had approached Airi’s side at some point, asked leisurely.
“Are you tired? Should Father carry you?”
“No!”
“…”
“Great heroes don’t rely on their fathers…”
“I don’t think so? According to our family’s code, great heroes are supposed to be held in their father’s arms when going to deal with villains.”
Airi looked confused. Then Declan scooped Airi up and said.
“Whatever, let’s just go quickly.”
“…”
“What if something terrible happens to Serafin at this rate? What if we’re too late going at a baby’s pace?”
“…Huff.”
Cookie glanced at the crystal orb and almost said, ‘Serafin is having fun beating up the Cardinals right now, so that guy called Father is lying without even wetting his lips,’ but held back.
Because Declan and Airi looked so happy.
So Cookie just kept quiet and only glanced at Berry, who was watching Airi and Declan with sparkling eyes.
“Then we must go quickly!”
“Yes, let’s go quickly.”
Airi shot a blazing gaze forward.
Before long, Serafin finally came into their view.
Watching Serafin discover them and jump up with a smile, Airi thought.
She had thought it was cool to become a ‘child who does everything by herself.’
But perhaps a child could become an even cooler hero with Father’s help.
Just like today, thanks to Father, she was able to come rescue Seraphine a little faster.
* * *
“Look carefully, isn’t this strange?”
At Serafin’s words, Airi nodded her head carefully.
The casket lid wouldn’t open even though Declan had struck it with his sword.
So Airi stepped forward first.
“Everyone please step back. Especially Father, it’s dangerous.”
Like a true hero, Airi tied up her Father, who was ‘full of magi,’ tightly to a tree with rope.
“Kill Father completely…”
“I’m trying to save you!”
Though it was tied quite poorly due to the child’s hands and messy knot-tying, Declan still quietly let himself be tied up so Airi could feel at ease.
And…
Airi’s gaze looked down toward the golden casket.
‘This casket wouldn’t open even when Seraphine beat it up thoroughly.’
After thinking carefully, Airi firmly grabbed Berry’s collar.
“Berry, can you make the casket bad with your ability?”
“Make it bad, you mean.”
“Be really mean to the casket lid and make it pop open!”
In an instant, Berry’s eyes grew large.
The young boy’s hand lightly tapped near the casket.
And…
Crack, crackle.
The sound of something inside the casket shifting could be heard.
Airi opened her eyes wide, put strength into her belly, and shouted loudly.
“Yes, Berry is so cool! That’s how you do it!”
At that moment.
Berry’s ability, encouraged by Airi’s cheering, struck down sharply and powerfully.
Soon the golden casket, receiving everyone’s attention, slowly opened.
And…
“Huh, gasp.”
“…Is the Pope insane, really.”
What was inside the golden casket was none other than.
The Pope’s body.
Airi blinked and raised her hand.
“Is he dead…?”
“Well, let me check.”
Serafin frowned and tapped the Pope’s casket.
However, there wasn’t even the slightest movement from his body.
His body looked as if it hadn’t decayed at all.
But Airi could see it.
Black clouds were swirling around the Pope’s body.
When everyone’s expressions had become distorted, Airi reached out her hand as if it wasn’t surprising at all.
“Fluffy magi clouds! Immediate disposal!”
So this place wouldn’t be tainted with evil.
It was when Airi heroically extended her hand and absorbed a lot of the ‘fluffy evil magi.’
Light spread from Airi’s fingertips as she absorbed a lot of magi.
The ‘Ring of Purification’ in her belly moved frantically, making a whooming sound.
The darkest and most powerful magi among everything Airi had purified.
Airi, who had been watching that sight, closed and opened her eyes.
The constant throbbing
“Huh, gasp! Airi! Look at this!”
A flashing status window popped up from Cookie’s hand.
[Greatest Hero Airi’s ‘Great Journey’]
…Great Journey?!
Before she knew it, Airi’s eyes had grown round.
