Episode 58
“What? Benefactor?”
The doll’s appearance began to gradually change.
The cloth doll disappeared, and a baby dragon appeared before Airi’s eyes.
“Wh-what are you?”
A dragon the size of an adult’s fist smoothly climbed up onto Airi’s shoulder.
Airi opened her eyes wide and asked.
“Cookie! Do you know what this is?”
“A summoned beast.”
“Huh?”
“It’s a summoned beast. The reason the raccoon was scared was because this guy was near us!”
“Huh, huh.”
Then the dragon’s golden eyes gleamed mysteriously as it spoke.
“I came to repay my debt to my benefactor!”
“Huh? Debt?”
“Yes, I came to repay the debt for purifying the land and allowing me to be born.”
“You’re a summoned beast that knows some manners, aren’t you? But repaying debts is nice, but if you’re a real summoned beast, there’s something you need to do.”
“I am a real summoned beast, do I need to go through verification?”
“No. Not verification! You were born yesterday!”
Airi lifted her chin up high.
“I’ve lived 5 whole years longer, so you should show me proper respect!”
“…What is respect?”
Airi started to thump her chest in frustration but stopped mid-motion.
Her instructor’s voice echoed in her head saying, ‘You should teach children who don’t know!’
“First, when you meet someone, you bow and greet them. And baby summoned beasts like you should use formal speech to ‘almost adults’ like me as basic manners!”
Airi stroked the baby dragon’s rough scales.
Then the baby dragon’s eyes sparkled with excitement as it lowered its head and raised it again.
“…Good. That’s a good start. Now tell me what you want to say to me!”
“Exactly as I said. I came to express my gratitude to the being who allowed me to be born from land purified to 4-star level and helped me hatch as a Dragon Warden.”
“Huh, gasp! Then! Can I make a wish?”
“That’s right, yes.”
Airi had just one wish.
To be happy for a long, long time with Grandmother, whom she loved most in the world!
“The world is in crisis of destruction. Please save the world quickly!”
The dragon said reluctantly.
“That’s a bit.”
“…”
“Too intense.”
“Then eliminate the dark magic from Lord Ortejo!”
“Oh, that might be possible. What star level is the dark magic?”
“5-star.”
“…Ah, that’s also a bit much. I’m a dragon, but I’m not good at everything. I was just born too.”
Cookie cynically muttered what Airi was thinking inside.
“What use is this guy anyway?”
But right then, the dragon muttered.
“Oh, then how about this ability?”
“What ability?”
“I can grant the ability to imbue a specific ‘being’ with part of your current purification power.”
“…!”
“People who come into contact with that ‘being’ can be purified. It means ‘purification through indirect contact’ becomes possible.”
Right now, Airi could only purify through direct contact with a specific being.
But if she gained the ability the Dragon Warden was talking about?
She could purify others through a being imbued with her purification power without having to touch them directly.
Airi’s eyes sparkled.
“Good! Give me that ability!”
“Very well. And since you’re the summoned beast’s benefactor, I can give you a little more purification power, albeit weakly.”
The Dragon Warden made an “ahem” sound and flicked its tail.

[Special Ability!]
-Can imbue a specific ‘being’ with 1-star level purification power.
‘I’m advancing this fast?!’
When the summoned beast’s repayment was finished, the baby dragon climbed onto Airi’s soft shoulder and muttered.
“But benefactor, you’re really so soft…”
“Soft…?”
While the Dragon Warden was exploring Airi’s soft flesh for a while.
Declan and Milligan had arrived at Airi’s doorway.
Airi waved her hand with a bright smile.
“A summoned beast came looking for me! And I fixed all the land too!”
Facing her bewildered-looking father and grandfather.
Airi was smiling purely and brightly!
* * *
That afternoon.
The bonding between Milligan and the summoned beast was completely finished.
This news spread quickly beyond the Ortejo Castle walls and reached throughout the Northern Region, the land of darkness.
The ordinary people of northern villages lived difficult lives.
No sunlight shone on their lives.
So when good things happened occasionally, those rumors spread carrying happiness.
This rumor was the same.
“Finally, a summoned beast came to our North too?”
“It was born from the Purification Land in the North.”
“Master Milligan must have brought it!”
Among the people of Ghost Village, one elder muttered.
“Finally, hope is coming to our North, which was full of only dark magic.”
“…”
“It was like this before too. There were days when our North prospered. When I was a young soldier…”
Most people usually filtered out his stories of the good old days. But now everyone was listening to his story with curiosity.
The North, called the land abandoned by God.
Hope began to bloom little by little in this place.
The main characters of that hope were the summoned beast, Milligan, and the summoned beast’s benefactor.
“I’m curious about what kind of person helped the summoned beast be born.”
“Could it be a great archmage?”
“There are also stories about a 5-star Purification Mage. Then, if only that person were here, all the dark magic in the North would disappear.”
People were very curious about who the Purification Mage was.
But you see.
Right after Declan returned to the Haunted Castle.
Everyone unanimously praised and poured their affection on the great ‘One’ who created the land where summoned beasts would be born…
* * *
“Come on, raise your hands higher.”
Declan Ortejo.
He was someone who gave punishments as surely as he gave rewards.
Airi had done something dangerous for a five-year-old. So he intended to make sure she fully understood that fact.
“I’m terribly sorry to say this, but my arms hurt a little, Elder.”
“You’ve only been holding your hands up for 5 minutes now.”
Inside Declan’s bedroom.
Still maintaining exactly 2.5 meters of distance.
Airi, kneeling with her hands raised, nodded her head vigorously.
Wondering why she was nodding, he watched her carefully.
“Gasp, that’s right. I’ve been holding them up for a whole 5 minutes!”
“So you mean it doesn’t hurt because you’ve only held them up for 5 minutes?”
Airi’s eyes widened as she continued receiving her punishment.
Airi chirped with eyes that seemed to worry about him.
“Excuse me, Elder, but that means it hurts terribly because I’ve held my hands up for a whole 5 minutes.”
“Well, I don’t think it’s been enough yet.”
“But you see.”
“Yes, what is it.”
“Elder, you think I did something wrong, don’t you? Then, if a child did something wrong, it’s right for them to be punished until they realize their mistake…”
“…I give up. Put your hands down.”
“Yes!”
Airi was a well-behaved child.
She was too good a child for him, who had always lived wickedly, to reform.
“You had purification power. It was 1-star level. But how did you perform 4-star purification?”
