Episode 73
* * *
The next morning.
After preparing her ultra-powerful finishing move, Airi confidently went to work at the Knight Order.
Inside the Knight Order where all of the White Knight Order and some of the Blue Knight Order remained.
Everyone’s gaze was focused on Airi.
“You’ve been coming to the Knight Order frequently lately! Hahaha!”
“Good morning. I came to see Grandmother again today.”p>
Airi bowed politely toward the hearty knights.
“Um, adult knights! Good morning? I really, really need help, can you help me?”
“Ah, shall we call the Hybrid Monster knight trainees you’re usually friendly with?”
Airi shook her head solemnly.
“No. This is something children cannot help with. Only adult comrades can help me!”
Cookie sent a telepathic message.
[But you’re a child too.]
Normally she would have answered enthusiastically, but today Airi had a mission!
In one of Airi’s hands was something round and spherical, and in her other hand was pure white parchment.
“I will begin now!”
Airi made eye contact with each of her ‘adult comrades’ one by one and asked them questions.
After all the questions were finished.
“…But what are you going to use this for?”
Question marks appeared above everyone’s heads.
But Airi only maintained a heroic, determined expression.
* * *
Meanwhile, Yelshanad was preparing to leave work.
She would arrive at the Knight Order at 9 AM and leave at 6 PM.
Recently, her schedule had been ending precisely like clockwork.
But today was unusual.
6 PM.
Just as she finished her meticulous paperwork and was about to move to her bedroom in the Main Castle.
‘What is she doing right now?’
A little one stuck to the ground bowed politely toward her.
“Good evening!”
The little one was walking over very determinedly, carrying various things in both hands.
Yelshanad avoided Airi’s gaze.
Then, Airi smoothly lifted up a round, spherical sound recorder.
“I’m busy.”
She tried to ignore the child and walk past her.
But the child squeezed in beside Yelshanad, following along.
“Grandmother will like this too.”
Airi smiled mischievously and clicked the sound recorder on.
A lively yet melancholic prelude echoed through the air.
“This is a very, very wonderful song!”
“…A song?”
“A masterpiece by Hans Rabbit released 20 years ago! 【What Is Love】!”
“No, how do you know that song…”
Well, it’s because maternal grandmother liked that song!
‘Of course all grandmothers like it!’
Moreover, Airi had just consulted with the White Knight Order about ‘Yelshanad’s preferred music style.’
“Well, would you like to listen to the song? I don’t think you will though.”
“Still, if I really, really, really had to choose…”
She likes the exact same songs as Grandmother!
“Then, I’ll sing a verse for you.”
Airi smiled brightly and pretended to hold a microphone with her hand.
To sing this song beautifully, she even drank lots of pear juice and bellflower juice yesterday!
No grandmother could escape from this!
If tickets were even issued, it would be sold out by all grandmothers – the beginning of an Airi-brand performance.
“What is love, that it tore my heart apart.”
Airi began to belt out a verse with a soulful melody.
Airi smiled brightly and waved her hand.
But something was strange.
For the performance, Airi had moved to the left and to the right.
‘But when I sang on the left, there was little reaction, and when I sang on the right, there was a lot of reaction.’
When she sang on the left, there were only moderate sidelong glances.
But when she sang on the right, she even winked and kept time with her feet!
To confirm this puzzling situation, Airi belted out another soulful melody.
“This time I’ve prepared the 【Airi-brand butt dance】 too! Watch!”
When Airi wiggled her bottom and moved, Yelshanad’s lips finally curved up slightly.
Airi’s eyes widened and she jumped up.
“Wow! Grandmother smiled!”
“…I didn’t smile.”
The moment she answered, the magical energy that had been flowing suddenly stopped abruptly.
Yelshanad’s face was bright red.
Just as the flustered Airi’s enthusiastic performance also stopped.
Yelshanad hastily pulled out a teleport scroll from her pocket.
Then she tore the scroll to pieces and fled the scene.
Airi was left behind in vain once again.
A five-year-old, grandmother-killer child.
She fell to her knees on the floor with a thud.
‘Grandmother ran away?’
Already the third failure of the 【Getting Close to Grandmother】 mission.
It was the death sentence for Airi’s finishing move.
* * *
“M-M-Madam. Why did you suddenly use a scroll instead of resting…”
“Aaaahhh!”
The place Yelshanad visited was the Northeastern Blue Knight Battalion Barracks.
The place that had been guarded by the White Knight Order was now being handled by the Blue Knight Order and Milligan.
However, that fact was absolutely not important to Yelshanad right now.
In a manner completely opposite to the public’s assessment of her as iron-blooded, she frantically pulled at her hair with a crazed expression.
“So what happened, Madam?”
“Airi.”
“Ah, you finally met our granddaughter? How was it?”
“…”
“The child is so kind. Don’t hurt her feelings, and for now, how about treating her a bit more warmly? Well, since Madam originally dislikes children, even if you don’t particularly like her, Airi is a child who knows manners…”
Yelshanad whispered in a chilling voice.
“What? I don’t like her?”
“No, why are you making that expression… Did you really dislike her that much?”
“Don’t like her! Don’t use such terrible expressions! How cute and lovable and cunning and pretty she is. How could this be. How could our tastes match so perfectly!”
“No, M-Madam. Of course Airi is cute, but…”
This is almost like raving madness.
However, since Milligan was henpecked, he absolutely wouldn’t voice that comment out loud.
Instead, he carefully and respectfully said a word to his wife.
“It seems you’re getting along well with Airi.”
“Well, you see…”
Yelshanad let out a deep sigh and confessed everything that had happened so far.
Milligan’s expression hardened.
“Uh, um, so. Airi must have seriously misunderstood, my lady.”
“Hah…”
Milligan carefully advised the sighing Yelshanad.
“Then, how about showing your feelings to Airi as well? Saying things like she’s cute or lovely.”
Yelshanad’s eyes flashed.
“Absolutely not.”
“…No, why, why not?”
Yelshanad’s face turned incredibly red.
“Once I let her know I like that child, I won’t be able to stop!”
As soon as he heard those words, Milligan recalled their dating days.
“Saying I love you is embarrassing. Don’t expect to hear it for life.”
Yelshanad back then, who was incredibly awkward at expressing emotions, had been quite adorable.
But somehow, now seemed even more serious than back then.
