Episode 24

* * *

Martin’s incredible assist!

Airi immediately obtained a golden ticket to access the Northern Mage Tower dungeon.

“From now on, you must stick close behind me and follow.”

“Yes! I’ll keep that in mind!”

According to the book’s contents, the demon hybrids were imprisoned in the Mage Tower dungeon.

So Airi decided to subtly drop some bait.

“In the Mage Tower dungeon, I heard there are some unique friends there!”

Martin took Airi’s words brilliantly.

“Ah, there are many. So many. They’re friends who help with experiments… Honestly, I don’t know where they are. Probably the Tower Master doesn’t know either. We don’t really know who’s researching what experimental subjects or what kind of experiments. The underground is just so…”

“So?”

“Among the Mage Towers, it’s a bit, unorganized, and a bit, very, chaotic with all the crazy ones gathered together.”

Anyway, isn’t it just the underground of the tower?

Up until this point, Airi was confident.

1. Find the location where the demon hybrid slaves are!

2. Make surprised eyes and say ‘I want to save these children!’

3. Bring them all to the castle, feed them lots of delicious food, and have an ending where they adore Karhen!

If we knit together, give cute dolls, and teach taekwondo, they won’t destroy the Northern Region, right?

Just as happy fantasies were swelling up in her head.

Airi entered the underground of the Mage Tower, no, hell itself.

“Waaaaaaah!”

“My research! XXX! XXXXXX!”

The people visible everywhere Airi’s steps reached…

Were not normal.

Airi walked hesitantly in confusion and bumped into someone with a thud.

He was a man like a giant mountain range, but his eyes were unfocused.

“Ke, kekeke. Add 10% and 1% and 105%…”

“…Um, excuse me.”

“I haven’t slept for exactly 484 hours and I’m about to die, so don’t talk to me…”

Airi felt genuine killing intent. Martin wrapped around Airi and said.

“Sorry. Those guys seem to be restraining themselves a bit today, but they’re going crazy.”

It was a bit surprising, but up to here was okay.

Before coming to the Mage Tower, the servants had warned her several times that mages were originally eccentric.

But there was another spectacle!

A shimmering mist kept appearing before Airi’s eyes.

At first she thought it was just magi, but it wasn’t.

Pure white mist billowed up and floated through the air.

Airi asked reluctantly.

“Excuse me, what is this mist?”

“Ah, that. The guys gathered here don’t wash well, so their sweat, well, becomes mist…”

Airi suddenly felt dizzy.

She saw someone passing by and spitting casually.

“Khaak! Ptui!”

…Come to think of it.

The floor was covered with spit. They didn’t seem to think it was wrong.

Airi’s eyes shook violently.

Grown adults doing things that even elementary school students wouldn’t do.

Right when Airi’s mind became confused.

At that moment, Cookie muttered.

[Those extremely filthy bastards! Please wash yourselves! You stink!]

Cookie’s chocolate eyes rolled back, unable to endure the extreme unsanitary conditions.

‘Co, Cookie fainted!’

Airi now had to navigate this ordeal alone.

Then, Martin, Airi’s guide, delivered even more shocking words.

“Wow, it seems everyone made an effort since Lady Airi was coming.”

They made… an effort?

“I really couldn’t meditate in a place like this. But today is a bit better. Today I could probably meditate a hundred times.”

“…”

“Ah, then Lady Airi. Please come this way. This is the most peaceful place in the underground.”

Airi reluctantly stepped inside.

She saw a space where someone had stuck gum on the floor and written curses in graffiti.

[Tower Master old man XX or XX?]

[XX bastard! XX! XXXXX!]

[XXX die for not giving research funds]

Airi blinked her eyes.

What!

There’s no respect for elders here either?!

“Ah, these are people who like the Tower Master. Relatively speaking.”

They called him a stupid old man, but that’s, that’s relatively better?

“In the Mage Tower dungeon, this place is still the best. It’s relatively okay to show Lady Airi.”

She felt dizzy even before rescuing Karhen.

The crazy adults of the Mage Tower.

They were too stimulating for this Confucian child.

Child Airi, who had stronger mental fortitude than Cookie who fainted from shock, resolved alone.

‘To find Karhen, I need to clean the Mage Tower thoroughly.’

But unfortunately, ‘cleaning the Mage Tower’ was impossible with Airi’s strength alone!

At that moment, Airi recalled the taekwondo instructor’s earnest advice.

‘Originally, children shouldn’t do difficult things. Difficult and scary tasks should be left to adults.’

First, when using fire.

Second, when doing dangerous things.

Third, when eating delicious food (she was told to definitely call the instructor at this time).

There was a rule that she must seek adults’ help unconditionally.

The words of the Gyeonghye Taekwondo Dojo instructor were absolute truth!

So Airi decided to seek help from the adult right next to her, Martin.

“I see. Martin! I have something to tell you.”

“Yes? What is it?”

“I think it would be good to clean the Mage Tower dungeon. What do you think?”

But would Martin help?

He was just a member of the Mage Tower too.

So Airi decided to add something that would be ‘good for Martin too.’

Not knowing that what she was about to say would be extremely stimulating to Martin.

“To do purification meditation better, I think we need to clean the underground too.”

Martin’s eyes sparkled.

“I’ll speak to the Tower Master immediately!”

* * *

The scoundrel who takes the Tower Master’s place when the Tower Master is absent.

Currently 50 years old, his nickname was ‘Check.’

A strong man who covered only his vital parts with checkered shirts and pants while conducting research with venomous intensity.

But today, he unexpectedly encountered a child.

“Hello there.”

“…Check sir, this is Martin. Princess Airi Ortejo said she has a suggestion for you, so I’ve come to see you.”

Though Check usually spoke rudely, his opponent was a child.

He answered as kindly as he could with sincere effort.

“Oh, most suggestions are usually made up of useless things. What is it, Princess?”

“I think, if we clean the Mage Tower!”

“Huh?”

“People won’t go cough cough anymore. And they won’t go owie owie anymore. And they’ll feel really really good!”

“Oh, is that so?”

Actually, Check wasn’t really listening to what she was saying.

Instead, he was thinking of his young grandchild when he looked at Airi’s chubby, plump cheeks.

Though he hadn’t been able to see them since entering the Mage Tower.

‘It’s like my young grandchild babbling, and it’s nice to see.’

Check, whose heart had softened, opened his mouth.

“No more cough cough and owie owie, huh? I don’t care about those guys’ lives, but it’s interesting.”

“Oh! And when they’re not hurting, they can do lots and lots more research!”

“…Do more research? Could they even do it for free?”

“Yes!”

Airi didn’t really know what “for free” meant. But the atmosphere seemed to be flowing favorably, so she immediately agreed.

Check stroked his chin and casually spoke.

“Then shall we try some kind of experiment? You know, a social experiment or something? The kind that doesn’t cost money and is useless.”

The beginning was, well.

It was definitely a social experiment that started from such a light-hearted mindset.

‘About a week or so, I guess.’

Since there was also the matter of Declan, the Grand Duke of the Northern Region.

He just had to tell them to clean up briefly while Airi was taking purification meditation classes.

The beginning was definitely like that.

But then, Airi proudly stuck out her belly and said.

“Check sir! In that spirit, may I establish 5 commandments?”

What? This is getting serious, isn’t it?

“It’s character education that the instructor at Gyeonghye Taekwondo Dojo taught me!”

“…Who?”

He didn’t know exactly what Airi was talking about.

But…

“I remember it all, so I’ll write it down here!”

Airi was excessively energetic and enthusiastic.

So there was absolutely no way to dissuade her!

[Mage Tower 5 Commandments]

1. Clean up around yourself first! If you scrub scrub clean, you become strong!

2. Physical health is mental health! You must wash well to become a ‘super super strong!’ martial artist!

3. Don’t spit or throw gum on the floor. Delinquent youths are bad. Let’s become good adults!

4. Wake up early in the morning and exercise regularly. If you exercise, you’ll have a smiling face every day (^0^)

5. If you’re sick, you must get treatment! If there are sick friends around, you must help them!

Seeing the 5 commandments, Check unconsciously gaped.

“What’s this about becoming strong by cleaning, and washing well to become a martial artist, and there are no delinquent youths in the Mage Tower…”

But if you removed the crooked additions that Airi had earnestly scribbled, they were actually usable commandments.

And Martin muttered in a small voice.

“To make such an effort for purification meditation classes, Lady Airi…”

What’s with that guy? Why is he crying?

At that moment, Airi said solemnly.

“Could you proceed with this?”
