Episode 52
* * *
The etiquette lesson with Karhen, Airi, and Milligan proceeded briefly and ended.
Airi moved to find land to purify, hiding her excited heart.
This was because she had consulted with Cookie about it.
“First of all, people don’t believe in your abilities. So how about purifying the land first and then showing it off with a ta-da?”
“Very good! I’m ‘super strong’ after all!”
“As expected, you know how to have fun. Let’s go!”
But as she walked step by step with Cookie, looking for land suitable for purification.
The maid sisters blocked her path.
“Lady Airi. You cannot go there.”
“Huh…? Why not?”
“Ah, well, the mages that Duke Betchen brought have come to purify the land in that area.”
Airi looked at the people in the distance.
They seemed to be Duke Betchen and his companions.
‘He said he brought purification-type magic tools, right? …I should go see if they’re stronger than me!’
The evil hero child hid her wicked scheme and walked quickly.
Fortunately, perhaps because she was a child.
Or perhaps because she kept her back straight like a child who knew martial arts.
Airi was able to easily get close to the magic tools they were setting up.
Duke Betchen placed a round sphere on the ground and clapped his palms together.
“Let’s install it temporarily. Don’t turn it on yet.”
“Yes, sir.”
Then, Cookie muttered from inside her pocket.
“Wow, that’s pathetically weak.”
Cookie was quite rude.
But Cookie’s words didn’t seem wrong.
‘It’s too little!’
However, Duke Betchen of the west, unaware of Airi’s inner thoughts.
He wore a proud expression, praising his own achievements.
The elite task force he brought consisted of three people in total.
Helen, a purification mage who was 2-star but evaluated as having skills comparable to 3-star.
Daspir, a mage affiliated with the Central Magic Tower but dispatched to the Western Magic Tower to research magic tools.
Gis, a master craftsman who claimed to have learned directly from dwarves.
Everyone here had contributed to creating the ‘Existence Purification Magic Tool’.
Betchen, thoroughly excited, boasted while riding on their backs.
“We’re going to operate a purification system that no one has ever achieved before.”
“Yes, we’ll proceed right away!”
“Let’s find the cleanest land possible, install it, and get our 1 billion gold.”
“Ah, this is tiring. Understood. I want to sleep soon…”
Except for the mage Daspir who spoke last, everyone was full of enthusiasm.
Duke Betchen spoke with a very honest and impolite expression.
“That guy hasn’t signed the documents yet, but it’s just a matter of time anyway. The contract will definitely be concluded, so let’s install it first.”
It was tremendous wishful thinking that he himself was unaware of.
Just as Betchen was shrugging his shoulders and dusting off his hands.
He saw Airi quietly observing the magic tool and showed a surprised expression.
“Hello there!”
“Hmm? Little one, who are you…? Such a cute child that couldn’t possibly exist in this northern region? What is this? Am I dreaming?”
“My name is Airi Ortejo and I’m five years old, Elder. But what is this magic tool?”
“Ah, little one. This is a magic tool that purifies magi.”
“With just this, the land becomes clean?”
“Hmm, it can temporarily reduce 1-star magi.”
“Temporarily reducing it isn’t complete purification, Grandfather!”
“Hmm, well. It’s temporary and has a small effect, but it has tremendous value.”
“Oh my, is that so?”
“Yes. No matter how great a purification mage comes, they can’t purify the land even a little bit.”
That’s not true, Grandpa!
“But this magic tool can. It’s innovation.”
A person who can purify land.
Is right here in this very place!
Airi slightly raised her hand.
Then, even though she hadn’t gotten close to the magic tool, Betchen shouted loudly.
“Ah, this isn’t something for children to touch carelessly. Quickly take this little one inside.”
“Huh.”
“It’s not something a ground-crawling brat can handle. What if our precious magic tool gets scratched.”
Ground-crawling brat?
Airi’s eyes flashed.
She had thought of him as an elder, but considering his behavior toward her (future) master teacher, he turned out to be a very, very annoying grandfather.
Treating someone like me, who’s ‘almost an adult,’ like a ‘little kid.’
Airi made a firm resolution.
For her master’s honor, no, for her own honor.
‘I’ll make sure that magic tool becomes useless!’
“Then, farewell.”
Even in this situation, Airi moved her body without forgetting to bow politely.
“What are you planning to do, Airi!”
At Cookie’s whisper, Airi thought to herself.
Children have their own methods!
* * *
That night.
Airi and Cookie found a way to move secretly.
“Just in case. If we announce that we’re purifying in advance, your power might be revealed to others too. Let’s do it secretly and return right away.”
Cookie was a suspicious person who trusted no one.
He only trusted Airi and himself.
But at this very moment.
“Then have you decided how to go there secretly?”
“Yes!”
Seeing the magic tool Airi presented, he couldn’t help but admire it.
“Wow, that’s the gift Serafin gave you, right? They say even dog poop has its uses.”
“Serafin isn’t dog poop.”
“Dog poop… no, who would have thought Serafin’s toy cloak would be used for something like this.”
The one-hour disposable 【Kill Them All! Invisibility Cloak】 magic tool that Serafin had given her.
The hero, Airi, put Cookie in her arms.
Then with a majestic expression, she draped the invisibility cloak over her shoulders with a swoosh.
Her body sparkled with light and then smoothly disappeared.
“Wow, this actually works?”
“Yes! Let’s hurry and go!”
Airi decided not to be impatient and took a step outside her room.
It was when she smoothly opened the door.
‘I just need to sneak out within an hour and come back!’
Walking stealthily without even making a sound as she moved quickly.
One of the maids guarding near Airi’s doorway made a puzzled expression.
“Huh?”
“What?”
“It looks like Lady Airi’s door is open? I should go check.”
Airi’s body flinched as she reached the end of the corridor.
It would be terrible if she got caught like this.
Her heart started pounding wildly!
