Episode 65
* * *
Airi, no, the first operation of the 7 Companions personally selected by the great Purification Mage had begun.
“The Purification Mage said for Serafin to go to the kitchen first.”
“Huh? Kitchen?”
“Yes. And she said to bring lots of food just like your usual image!”
The chef adults would surely give Airi plenty of food ingredients, but they might definitely become suspicious.
So Serafin with his usual troublemaker image was perfect!
…or so Cookie had advised.
“Damn, the Purification Mage has given me a thief’s mission! Wait! Just trust me!”
It wasn’t exactly stealing, just bringing things with some proper permission!
But Serafin had already disappeared.
Airi briefly wondered if this situation where Serafin’s morality was crumbling was really okay.
While she was pondering this, Serafin, who had vanished like lightning, quickly reappeared.
Carrying an armful of herbs that gave off a pungent smell.
“Unfortunately, this is all the ingredients there are. It was hard to get them because people were gathered in the castle! Damn! I guess I’ve become too good.”
So in the end, he did steal them…
“What should we make with these ingredients?”
“Mugwort, cucumber, seasonal fish.”
“Hmm, if we mix them all together to make XX soup, wouldn’t that be great?”
“Oh, that sounds good too. Fish head cucumber mugwort soup!”
They secretly made soup in Airi’s room.
“Let’s just throw in all the mugwort!”
“XX, this fish head is packed with nutrients. We have to put it all in!”
“Let’s just put everything in for now!”
“We’re children so we can’t use fire. We just need to mix it.”
And so the cooking with seven cooks…
“Um, can this even be called food?”
“The visual is terrible.”
“Orc-flavored soup, XX?”
…went completely off track.
‘As long as it goes in the mouth!’
Airi spoke strictly, solemnly, and seriously.
“We’ll go with this. Then Serafin has now done everything ‘That Person’ asked.”
“Wow, damn! I might get praised by That Person!”
Serafin jumped up as if leaping toward the sky.
Now, moving on to the second plan.
Airi now looked into the eyes of each of the 5 Half-Monster Companions one by one.
“From here it’s very, very, very! important.”
She tried to solemnly chirp like a hero and assign them their tasks.
Belize, who had been reading the mood, asked with the utmost courtesy.
“But, but why are hybrid monsters like us needed to save people harmed by monsters? I’m XX curious… I mean, just curious.”
Only then did Airi look into their eyes.
‘They were experimented on at the Mage Tower. They were bullied a lot in the Capital City too.’
Their eyes showed worry that they might be subjected to experiments again.
To reassure them, Airi stretched out her hand and drew a big circle.
“It’s absolutely not something strange! That Person said that the hybrid monster friends have very, very amazing sam-young, no, abilities to help themselves! This much power!”
She had just struggled a bit making up her own, no, ‘That Person’s’ words.
The expressions of the five hybrid friends were all different.
But it seemed like they had never heard anyone say ‘amazing’ or ‘needed’ to them in their lives.
“I, I’ll work hard! XX I’ll work really hard!”
“Me too! Me too! What should we do?”
“Maybe we need to infiltrate and do incredible activities!”
Everyone’s gaze focused on Airi.
Airi seriously clasped her hands together.
In this plan, they were truly important talents.
“What you need to do is, so! Right away…”
Boom, boom-tak.
Majestic music flowed in Airi’s head.
“Food delivery and serving.”
At those words, the atmosphere instantly turned cold.
“…?”
“That…”
“That, kitchen work?”
Airi nodded vigorously.
‘These people are perfect!’
Hybrid monsters are not affected by demonic energy.
Even if demonic energy becomes sharp like a spear and attacks, they won’t get hurt.
So they were the perfect people to deliver this food to the knights.
She confidently lifted her chin, but they asked.
“Is, is that important?”
Of course it’s important, but how should I explain it!
Then, Cookie sent a telepathic message.
[Say that the great That Person said hybrid monsters aren’t affected by demonic energy so they can become his strength!]
Just conveying the same message, but the children’s expressions changed from before.
But they still looked suspicious!
“Those people are knights. It might be dangerous to feed them something.”
“True, we’d look really suspicious, right?”
At Serafin’s words, Airi nodded.
“So I thought about it. You can subdue them with what you’re good at!”
“Hm? We’re not good at anything though?”
“Saal and Lireed have good social skills. Please persuade the knights well, become friends, and feed them yum yum.”
Saal was a spirit mage with excellent social skills, and Lireed was a nature mage friendly with nature.
“And I’ll give Dinan a small sword, and Belize a small spear too.”
“Huh? I’ve never seen anything like this, XX… I mean, never.”
But they made strange expressions while touching the palm-sized daggers and spears.
“Wow, this feels really weird. My heart is XX beating!”
Actually, all these abilities were just known from being in 『Monster of the Northern Snowfield』.
“Wow, damn. You have really good eyes?”
“So if those knights cause trouble, we can subdue them with these?!”
“You, you absolutely can’t hurt them.”
“What, damn. You’re like a strategist, kid! Did That Person tell you this too!”
But right then.
Karhen, whose name hadn’t been called last, carefully asked.
“What should I do?”
Eyes full of expectation!
But Airi had nothing to say.
Even in 『Monster of the Northern Snowfield』, Karhen’s overwhelming abilities weren’t well explained.
It was just vague descriptions like ‘incredibly strong and awesome abilities’ that destroyed the North.
‘But those are puppy dog eyes expecting some kind of praise!’
Airi rolled her eyes around and then bluntly threw out a comment.
“Ka, Karhen is just naturally polite.”
“….”
“Th, then I’ll go see That Person now!”
They promised to meet again in Airi’s bedroom in exactly 30 minutes.
Everyone except Karhen, who had become a bit dazed, left for the reception room in high spirits.
Now it was time to get down to business.
* * *
After sending the other friends to the reception room, Airi was working hard and sweating as she infused purification power into the soup.
Cookie pounded the floor wildly with her round hands while muttering.
“Waaaaah! This precious purification power. It’s making me cry, making me cry!”
[‘World’s Strongest Hero’ Airi’s Purification Power Status Window!]
2-Star: Light ‘Tree’
■■□□□
(…)
2-Star: Light ‘Tree’
□□□□□
[Special Ability!]
-Can imbue 1-star level purification power into a specific ‘existence’.
“Sniff, 2-star level is barely hanging on now….”
It was natural that there would be a penalty for such an overpowered ability to purify without direct contact.
So she was resigned to it when Cookie asked Airi.
“But you know, after you give food to the knights this time, people might try to track you down.”
“Huh…?”
From Cookie’s perspective, the children were pure.
That’s why they fell for Airi’s ridiculous white lies.
But adults are different.
If children appeared in subspace offering delicious food and telling them to eat it, they would definitely be suspicious.
After eating that food, they would feel even stranger.
Because that food contains purification power.
Their bodies would suddenly become healthier.
