Episode 64
“Gasp, a method!”
“There’s that great Purification Mage from the Northern Region who helped hatch the summoned beast, right?”
“….”
“If That Person went into that subspace, they would naturally have purified it, right?”
“I, I don’t know….”
“Damn it! We need to find where That Person is! Are they still in our castle? They couldn’t have left already, right? Damn!”
Airi wanted to tell Serafin seriously.
Listen, Serafin.
That person. They’re right here.
Serafin had now become like Jekyll and Hyde, muttering to himself.
“No, that’s not right. That Person might not be able to do it either. Serafin, it might be something only I can do!”
“….”
“No, no. If it’s That Person, they might be able to find some method!”
While Serafin was wailing, various worries floated around in Airi’s head.
Several plans formed and then disappeared.
‘It would be difficult with just Cookie and me!’
However, Airi eventually managed to find a method.
And it was a perfect method in every way, except for ‘just one thing’!

Meanwhile, Declan Ortejo had arrived at the Northern Plains.
He examined the corpse of a dead crow, closing his eyes and then opening them again.
“Does this mean magi suddenly appeared?”
“Yes, that’s correct.”
After finishing his conversation with the villagers, Declan had gathered all their testimonies.
“A flock of crazed crows really appeared out of nowhere one day!”
As soon as he heard all their testimonies, his expression twisted.
‘An unsettling sense of déjà vu.’
It was similar to when Olivia had died.
“A flock of crazed crows suddenly attacked Lady Olivia! She was almost swept away by them.”
Another flock of crows?
A flock of crows that suddenly appeared from the sky.
People eroded by magi and afflicted with Magi Stagnation Syndrome.
Everything resembled Olivia’s incident far too closely.
Declan twisted one corner of his mouth and muttered.
“Why did something like this happen again after five years?”
Raspen remained silent.
Declan stared at the darkened soil and furrowed his brow.
“Repeated coincidences can’t be coincidences. Right?”
Raspen’s complexion twisted. As if he wanted to ask whether there was a force artificially spreading magi in the Northern Region.
“We can’t be certain of anything yet. Exercise restraint.”
Declan surveyed the land where all the monster crows had disappeared, leaving only magi behind.
And after some time had passed, what appeared in Declan’s sight was a silver whistle.
The whistle, which looked brand new, seemed artificial, as if someone had deliberately dropped it here.
Raspen spoke as if finding it curious.
“Wow, this is a bird-herding whistle. They don’t use these much nowadays. It’s a completely old-fashioned design.”
“…Is that so?”
“Yes.”
Declan, who had picked up the whistle and examined it thoroughly, chuckled.
“Bird-herding…. Does this mean there might be someone who drove the flock of crows all the way here?”
“It could be, or it might not be. Someone could have accidentally dropped it, or deliberately dropped it.”
“For now, it’s just a possibility that there’s someone artificially spreading magi around. Right?”
Unlike someone who had told others to exercise restraint, he muttered a curse.
“Giving hints, how infuriating.”
There’s no way they would drop it so openly.
Blue veins stood out on his neck, and his jaw bulged from gritting his teeth.
It was right when Raspen was collecting the whistle as evidence.
“Should we try questioning the nearby villages?”
“…Let’s do that.”
But unlike usual, his neck felt strangely stiff, making him suspect that someone was hitting him from behind.
“Um, Lord Declan? Why are you suddenly acting like this?”
“It’s nothing.”
Though he didn’t know how to explain this intuition.
“It just feels like someone’s about to cause trouble.”
A father’s premonition is inherently powerful.
Right now, the children, no, the ‘self-proclaimed child heroes’ were causing major trouble.

That afternoon.
Airi suddenly summoned Serafin.
Serafin, who had been despairing for a while, hurriedly arrived at Airi’s room.
But Airi wasn’t here.
Instead of Airi, five boys had gathered in Airi’s bedroom.
“What? Aren’t you guys Airi’s powerful… those, those skilled instructors I saw on that mental education day?”
The friends Airi had rescued from the Mage Tower.
The hybrid monsters Saal, Belize, Lireed, Dinan, plus Karhen whom he had seen earlier.
“Why did you come here?”
“Lady Airi summoned us! Sir!”
“XX exciting, no, XX exciting, sir.”
“What?”
“I don’t know either, for some reason.”
As Saal and Belize, Lireed and Dinan each added their comments, even greater doubt filled Serafin’s heart.
‘What really? Could this kid be harboring some scheme?’
Was she trying to resolve that doubt?
Airi appeared wearing some white veil over her head.
“Hello everyone!”
Serafin asked eagerly.
“Why did you call us?”
“I called you because I have something important to say!”
Airi spoke very cleverly as planned with Cookie.
“Everyone, you must listen carefully to what I say from now on.”
In fact, the basics of Airi’s ‘White Knight Order Rescue Plan’ were as follows.
[‘World’s Most Powerful Hero’ Airi’s Purification Power Status Window!]
2-Star: Light ‘Tree’
■■□□□
[Special Ability!]
-Can imbue a specific ‘being’ with 1-star level purification power.
‘Imbue a specific ‘being’ with purification power and pass it on!’
But she definitely needed help from others in the task of passing it on.
‘Because I can’t approach directly!’
The problem was the fact that Airi was currently hiding her power.
To get their help, she would have to reveal that she was a great Purification Mage.
But the Elder had told her not to reveal her identity.
After putting her head together with Cookie, Airi decided to go in a new direction.
And that was…
“Um, I just met the great Purification Mage just now.”
Serafin tilted his head with a confused expression.
“Huh? What are you talking about?”
“Ju, ju, just now. That Person told us how we can save the White Knight Order!”
Serafin’s eyes instantly grew huge.
“Whoa, really? Th, th, That Person? But how did you meet That Person?”
Airi offered Serafin the excuse she had barely squeezed out.
“…I just met them while walking down the corridor. They even waved at me in greeting.”
Cookie sighed and sent a telepathic message.
[Will this really work? Even an idiot wouldn’t fall for that, would they?]
But Airi is a child.
Other than that, her brain just wouldn’t roll around properly.
Airi looked at Serafin with intense nervousness.
Serafin fixed his trembling gaze on Airi.
“Wow! Amazing! I walk down the corridor training every day too, so why don’t they appear to me?”
Serafin was an idiot.
And quite tremendously so…
As soon as Serafin finished speaking, the other Hybrid Monster boys also whispered among themselves.
“She’s definitely cool, isn’t she?”
“If it’s Lady Airi who found us, she’s worthy of meeting That Person!”
Airi became a little confused, but was relieved that things were proceeding according to plan anyway.
“Th, then do you all know what mission That Person left for us!”
“Wh, what is it?”
Serafin’s ears perked up.
Airi earnestly recited the ‘adult-like words’ that Cookie had told her.
“That Person said they want our Seven Musketeers to be active and would give each of us a ‘mission’!”
“Ooh…!”
“Oooh!”
“Bu, but what’s a mission?”
As expected, adult words were difficult for not only Airi but other children to understand.
Airi explained it in children’s language.
“It means we have things we need to do!”
