Episode 38

“Why, don’t you want to eat?”

Instead of answering, Airi shook her head back and forth.

Originally, Grandmother from her past life was like that.

She said that after the class observation ended, they had to go eat jjajangmyeon together with Grandmother.

So she used to munch away at jjajangmyeon together with Grandmother, just the two of them.

Now there’s no jjajangmyeon in this world, but.

It felt a little empty that she couldn’t just hug and smile endlessly like she did with her past life’s grandmother, like she did with the Southern Region’s grandmother.

But her mood kept getting more and more excited.

It felt exactly like a balloon kept inflating inside her chest.

“I want to go! To eat delicious food!”

Declan looked at Karhen, who was about to give up his seat, and said.

“Good, you thought well. Karhen, you come too.”

He grinned and took the lead. Airi was quite far away, but even her stride showed her excitement.

The two people looked happy.

On the other hand, Karhen’s emotions were fluctuating wildly.

Why was he going with them?

He was just a lowly hybrid monster.

But even so, there were good points.

“Karhen! Your steps are slow! Hurry up and run! Let’s go eat delicious food!”

The fact that Airi specifically pointed him out and called him a ‘friend.’

It kept getting better and better, which was troublesome.

* * *

And so, Declan and Airi ended up sitting at opposite ends of the restaurant.

Airi, who sat next to Karhen, opened her eyes wide.

“Huk, heok… King crab, it’s huge!”

“Right, it’s huge.”

“The claws are terrifying…!”

“Right, are you scared?”

Airi lifted up the claw combatively and said.

“I will eat it terrifyingly deliciously!”

It was nice to see Karhen next to her eating deliciously using his fork, though clumsily.

It was also nice to see the other Hybrid Creature Friends packing food to take back to the Castle.

It was also nice to hear Cookie muttering from inside her pocket, [Keuheuk, I liked those shrimp back when I was a phoenix!]

Airi thought that today had been quite exhausting, but still a happy day.

But then, Declan said casually.

“Come to think of it, Airi. Your brother will be returning to the Castle. Academy vacation is coming soon.”

“…What?!”

“I’m saying this so you two can get along well. Both of you.”

Thump.

‘I had another family member?!’

Airi from her past life was an only child.

So she hadn’t even recognized the existence of siblings.

Seeing Airi frozen in shock, Declan smoothly continued.

“He’s thirteen this year, and his name is Serafin.”

The appearance of an unknown life form called ‘real older brother.’

…Thud.

Airi felt like a stone had fallen on her head.

“Looking at the timing, he might arrive when I briefly go to inspect the Northern Region monsters. You two might meet alone.”

Hearing those words, she felt like cold water had been poured on her body once more.

But she wasn’t flustered about meeting Serafin alone.

The point that made Airi flustered was different.

“Are you going to beat up monsters again? Hitting and getting hit…”

“I don’t get hit. I only do the hitting.”

You talk just like an elementary school student, Elder!

As she watched with eyes full of distrust, Declan grinned and said.

“Well, I’ll be back soon. …But aren’t you eating? The food will get cold.”

“I’m eating. The claw.”

“Good, Karhen, you eat a lot too.”

“Yes.”

Both Declan and Karhen seemed calm as if this was everyday life.

But Airi became so anxious that it was difficult to munch on the crab claw she had firmly grasped.

‘Is it okay for Elder to keep meeting monsters?’

He already has so much demonic energy?

“It’s fine. Don’t worry. I won’t die.”

That’s a lie.

In the future, he died quickly.

‘I need to purify him quickly, before he dies.’

Just as worry began rising like clouds in a corner of her heart.

Cookie in her pocket urgently sent a telepathic message.

[2-star Hero Airi! Why are you being gloomy!]

‘Because I’m worried about Elder!’

[That guy called your brother must also be heavily corrupted by demonic energy! So how about saving him?]

‘Hmm…?’

[That way you can gain bonus abilities!]

At Cookie’s words, Airi’s eyes grew wide.

[If I save my brother, I can also save Elder?]

Great!

Now she was no longer afraid of Serafin, the unknown entity.

Meeting her real older brother for the first time?

Right now, he’s just good ‘demonic energy’ prey.
