Episode 67
The taste of filthy soup filling his mouth.
He spat it out immediately, but some had already gone down his throat in his panic.
“What a, novel assassination attempt…”
But this was strange.
Vitality was gradually returning to his body that had been drenched in cold sweat.
The children who confirmed his complexion soon looked around the surroundings.
“You seem a bit healthier. That’s fortunate. Next.”
It was when the flustered Belkhan tried the remaining soup.
‘It really feels like the magic energy is disappearing?’
The children’s next target was the Deputy Captain.
He had an absurd expression but was also dying, so he couldn’t resist.
“Before dying, I even get to see the Captain’s slapstick comedy, this is truly luck, I should, say, kuh, cough…”
Then, Lireed appeared. This young boy had quite good social skills.
“Please try it. No poison added!”
Then he raised one hand and started stirring the soup vigorously.
At that moment, Belkhan spoke up.
“Deputy Captain.”
“Yes.”
“Try eating it once. This soup, it’s strange.”
…No way, even the Captain is saying that? Looking at this food waste?
But strangely, looking at Lireed’s sparkling eyes made him feel oddly moved.
“Please try it!”
‘Why am I being convinced? It’s like talking to a spirit mage, my heart feels warm?’
Is it because he’s about to die?
Living as the White Knight Captain, he had seen countless monsters.
So he knows.
No matter how cunning the hybrid monsters across from him might be, they couldn’t fake something like that.
They couldn’t deceive him.
“Well, for the kids, one last service before dying…”
He chuckled and put the orc-flavored soup in his mouth and swallowed.
But there was something even he couldn’t have guessed.
‘…What on earth is happening. This really is the most terrible taste in the world. Is this a dream.’
It was a garbage taste that couldn’t even be described as sewage water.
Even though he was on the verge of death from magic energy corruption, his face turned bright red.
“That seems to mean it doesn’t taste good!”
“Don’t worry. Even adults complain about side dishes. It’s nothing to be ashamed of.”
“No, it’s not complaining!”
The sparkling gazes of the five-member group stung his face sharply.
Moreover…
“My body feels strange.”
“Pardon?”
“Right now I should be vomiting magic energy, but the magic energy isn’t coming out.”
A feeling of his stomach cooling down.
With each spoonful of food, the change became evident.
‘It feels like my soul is getting fatter.’
Without time to worry about the children’s gazes, he devoured the food in the blink of an eye.
Following him, the other knight order members also went through similar processes one by one.
Then, the door opened slightly.
“Is, is it done?”
The five hybrid monster musketeers simultaneously looked toward the doorway.
A small girl with silver hair and purple eyes stared at them intently.
“Hello there!”
Airi saw that the knights, who figured they were going to die anyway, had roughly scraped up and eaten the soup.
“Who…”
“Huh, huk. I cannot tell you. But purification, is happening…!”
The little girl made an ‘oops’ expression and stamped her feet.
“Then, then, then since you’re healthy now, we’re disbanding!”
A cute mumbling voice.
‘That’s a really familiar face.’
It was when the knights looked at each other with puzzled expressions.
Karhen raised his hand.
Instantly, a cold energy chillingly dominated their minds.
“From now on, you will be confused about everything you saw here. You’ll be flustered and bewildered, unable to remember what you saw.”
But the sensation contained in that voice was definitely not common.
When they suddenly felt like their minds had become jumbled.
The bodies of the ten knights who had consumed all the 【Orc-flavored Soup】 dropped somewhere with a thud.
* * *
Belkhan, who came to his senses, raised his body.
His body, which had only been waiting for death, felt strangely light.
But he wasn’t the only one who felt such a sensation.
One by one they came to their senses and opened their mouths.
“Everyone…”
The Deputy Captain was the one who continued.
“Are you, okay?”
They had been served extremely unusual food.
After experiencing the magic energy draining from their bodies.
Now they had opened their eyes in a different space.
“But you know. I can’t exactly remember what that person’s face looked like.”
“The one who gave us food, it was the same person, right?”
“I think so.”
But strangely…
‘Why on earth can’t I remember their appearance or physique at all?’
But there was just one thing they could know.
They too had heard rumors.
About the existence of the great Purification Mage who brought summoned beasts to the Northern Region.
“Our bodies being purified…”
“Yes, there’s only one possibility.”
The unnamed great Purification Mage had come to them.
Belkhan muttered with a trembling voice.
“…We survived.”
But then, the Deputy Captain muttered.
“But there’s something else strange.”
“What?”
“Why do I have such bad breath? Like someone who ate some terrible food they shouldn’t have. Damn!”
* * *
After the ten knight order members confirmed multiple times that their bodies had been purified.
The first thing the Captain and his men did was return to the Haunted Castle.
“No way, how, how…”
“Aren’t you the White Knight Captain?”
“Lord Belkhan!”
Being treated like a ghost by the people of the Haunted Castle was quite an interesting experience.
“A miracle has occurred.”
And their experiences spread out in various embellished forms.
But there was exactly one thing that remained the same.
The fact that the one who saved them was the same person as the great Purification Mage who summoned the beast to the Northern Region!
“Of course it’s the same person. Someone who can imbue purification power into objects!”
“Just how powerful of an ability user are they?”
“That Person must be trying to save the Northern Region!”
Through the mouths of ten White Knights, and through the mouths of the people of Ortejo Castle, their story flowed like oral folklore.
Even in the mercenary company where Gis was.
“I’m telling you! I saw the purified land with my own two eyes, clear as day.”
Even in the purification sect where Helen was.
“Land that clean would be hard to find even in the Imperial Palace, you know? They were truly an amazing person.”
Even at the Mage Tower, countless people were curious.
“That Person has come! They say That Person has descended to earth.”
The reactions were all different.
But Airi didn’t care about such reactions.
Because…
“I was too excited to sleep!”
“Why, why, why are you like this?”
“We did it! Right?!”
An excited Serafin had gotten up early in the morning and come to Airi’s room.
‘Come to think of it, what we did might get exposed at this rate, right?’
Just as she was worrying about that, Cookie sent a cheerful telepathic message.
[Hehe, this little one. There’s an effective way to shut the children’s mouths.]
Cookie pulled out a note from his pocket.
Since Airi trusted Cookie, she casually picked up the note.
“That Person gave this! Whether they’re a Grand Mage or a Purification Mage, anyway, that incredible person.”
Though it was quite embarrassing to call herself ‘incredible’ with her own mouth, she handed over the note anyway.
Serafin’s eyes widened as he checked the contents of the note.
[Ah, thank you, my little ‘comrade’ friends.
Our ‘brave journey’ shall be a secret between heroes.
If it becomes known that we joined forces,
that ‘final mastermind’ will come for revenge against us.
Keep it as our secret.
Remember this forever.]
That’s right. Cookie here was a ‘Growth Support Summoned Being’.
He was specialized in fulfilling children’s need for recognition!
