Episode 66

 

‘Maybe there’s a Purification Mage among those children.’ Such suspicions could arise.

 

“After this is over, you won’t be able to pretend to be weak anymore. If it’s revealed that you’re an incredible hero, it could be dangerous. Are you really okay with that?”

 

Looking at the soup secretly hidden in the room, Airi thought.

 

“Yeah! It’s okay, so we have to save them!”

 

“Why?”

 

“Not doing it when you can save them doesn’t make sense.”

 

Airi was different from other heroes who selfishly pursued only their own lives.

 

But that’s why Cookie couldn’t understand Airi.

 

“But they’re people who have nothing to do with you.”

 

“But they’re people I can save!”

 

“What are you talking about… I don’t understand, really.”

 

“I’m not a cowardly child! I’m a super duper righteous hero! Regent said so too! Fight against injustice! Child! Like this!”

 

“Who’s Regent? Some great figure?”

 

“An anime protagonist! Now, there’s no time! Let’s hurry!”

 

Airi stuffed Cookie back into her pocket with a poke.

 

Then she decided to bravely break through all situations.

 

Now it was time to enter the cube with everyone, so she had to bring her friends from the reception room!

 

But as soon as the bedroom door opened, there was someone standing in front of it.

 

“Um, Lady Airi. There’s something I’d like to talk to you about for a moment.”

 

It was Karhen.

 

His expression was very serious, so Airi tilted her head.

 

“Yeah! Come in!”

 

Karhen carefully grabbed Airi’s sleeve tightly.

 

“I, I also have an ability. Like the other children.”

 

Karhen was small and weak.

 

But there was just one thing he could do for Airi.

 

“Compared to other people, it’s insignificant and gloomy, but I, I can change people’s memories.”

 

As Airi was too flustered to say anything, Karhen muttered quietly.

 

“…A, a way to help…”

 

When Karhen’s face turned bright red in an instant.

 

Airi opened her eyes wide and shouted.

 

“Wow! That’s amazing!”

 

Cookie also shouted telepathically.

 

[Totally super lucky! Such a windfall! Give him lots of kisses!]

 

Karhen’s eyes filled with confusion, having never received praise like ‘amazing’ even once.

 

“Wh, what do you mean…?”

 

“Karhen is really really cool! Th, then can you help me?”

 

Airi extended her hand as if asking for a handshake.

 

Karhen carefully grabbed the tip of Airi’s hand and shook it.

 

All the words Airi had said to him so far swirled around his ears like a whirlwind.

 

“I came to save you!”

 

“Does it hurt a lot…?”

 

“Karhen is really cool!”

 

At first, when he was saved, he had never held hands.

 

But now he could hold them.

 

With his ear tips turning red, Karhen looked at the hand Airi extended.

 

Airi grandly lifted up one of the soup bowls filled with all her purification power.

 

“First, please gather all the 7 Companions, comrade!”

Inside the ‘Void of Annihilation’ where the White Knight Order was staying.

 

After isolating their own bodies and completing the seal.

 

The knights lying carelessly on the floor were dying.

 

Since they would die anyway from the demonic energy filling their bodies, they ate nothing.

 

They didn’t even drink water as they had their final conversations.

 

The captain tried to lighten the mood by saying.

 

“Everyone, cough, cough… Do you remember that incident?”

 

“Which incident do you mean…?”

 

“The memory of fighting together with Lord Yelshanad.”

 

They had defeated countless monsters.

 

They recalled the time when they lived solely for the peace that would come to the Northern Region.

 

Evil demonic energy that devoured the will to live came crashing down.

 

As the sensation of being crushed by demonic energy grew stronger, the surroundings gradually darkened.

 

He was thinking of slowly falling into sleep.

 

But then the door to the subspace, which had definitely been strictly sealed, opened.

 

‘What the hell, damn cube. Is that thing defective?’

 

He remembered the face of someone who had strongly insisted to him, ‘If you’re in mortal danger, you must get into the cube.’

 

He opened his eyes with an irritated expression.

 

“Who is it. We’re all going to die, so close the door.”

 

Otherwise, the demonic energy trapped in their bodies might attack the other person.

 

So he deliberately made an even more unpleasant face, but.

 

It was then, as he glared at the doorway with his narrow and blurred vision.

 

Two very, very small silhouettes of children bowed in greeting.

 

“Hello there?”

 

“…?”

 

Seeing the children who appeared out of nowhere, he made a bewildered expression.

 

“What the… hell…”

 

The demonic energy in their bodies did stir.

 

But it didn’t attack the other party.

 

There was only one answer.

 

“…Are you guys monsters?”

 

“We are Hybrid Monsters.”

 

“So… roughly the same thing… If you’re going to kill us, kill us quickly and go. I’m tired…”

 

On the verge of death, he couldn’t say much more.

 

His eyelids kept closing.

 

‘No, why aren’t they killing us.’

 

The hybrid monsters looked flustered as they stared at each other.

 

Then, a card peeked through the door crack.

 

The hybrid monsters hurriedly looked at the card and slowly read it aloud.

 

“Starved for over 3 days. Poor mister. Full of demonic energy. Quickly lots of prepared soup!”

 

Belkhan made an absurd expression. However, Dian’s action came first.

 

“Our names are Belize and Dian, Lireed and Karhen. Our master has prepared something for you.”

 

His head was already spinning, and the content was incomprehensible.

 

Belkhan muttered.

 

“Whatever, if you’re going to kill us, hurry up and kill…”

 

“The menu prepared for you is one thing. Orc-flavored soup.”

 

“Orc?”

 

A name he wouldn’t want to eat even if he died.

 

Who would attach such a name to food.

 

Did they read his expression full of doubt even facing death?

 

Karhen bowed politely and held out some kind of plate.

 

In the plate filled with an unidentifiable liquid, weeds including mugwort were floating around.

 

“What is… this? Is this soup made from the corpse of a demon I killed?”

 

Airi, who was eavesdropping with her ear pressed against the door from outside, snickered.

 

But the Five Musketeers, including Karhen, were different.

 

They were thinking, ‘We must fulfill our mission for the Purification Mage who acknowledged us.’

 

So they held out the soup again with determined faces.

 

“Come now, please try it.”

 

He had no intention of eating food offered by someone who suddenly appeared in the subspace.

 

At that moment, Belize, who had pulled out a spear from his pocket, spoke ominously.

 

“Please drink it.”

 

He chuckled.

 

He was someone who had been through all kinds of hardships.

 

Being threatened with spears or daggers wouldn’t make him bat an eye.

 

“Even if you threaten me with that, I won’t ea… ugh, urgh!”

 

He thought the spear would just stab his throat.

 

Indeed, a child’s creativity was remarkably surprising.

 

The soup plate flew at him like a spear and was forcibly shoved deep into his mouth.
