Episode 77

 

“Then I’ll go to the Heavenly Realm once and come back.”

 

“Uh, huh? You’re going to the Heavenly Realm?”

 

“That’s right. The Heavenly Realm can only be visited a few times during specific periods, hmm. It seems like I can go now. Wait, this helpful Cookie will find out a powerful method for you to become 3-star!”

 

“C, Cookie! W, wait…”

 

“Just wait about a week!”

With those words, the excited Cookie disappeared.

Airi looked around with a flustered expression.

 

“C, Cookie? Where did you go?”

 

There was no answer in return.

 

Cookie, who was small in size but had a big presence, had vanished in an instant.

 

‘How am I going to survive a whole week without Cookie?’

 

Cookie with round chocolate chip-shaped eyes.

 

Cute Cookie with a cynical way of speaking.

 

Without Cookie who always chattered beside Airi or sent telepathic messages, it would be incredibly boring.

 

Just as Airi’s shoulders drooped, the sound of someone knocking on the door was heard.

 

She was very depressed, but there was no etiquette for greeting guests from bed.

 

Airi hurried with quick steps and opened the door herself.

 

The person in front of the door was Declan.

 

Airi quickly bowed her head and said.

 

“Father, may you have good health and peace today as well.”

 

“Where on earth did you learn such proper etiquette?”

 

“Huh? Grandfather taught me!”

 

Looking at Airi who proudly stuck out her belly, Declan held his forehead.

 

He really teaches the child all the good things.

 

“Alright, I understand. Anyway, there’s contact from your grandmother. Raspen, give Airi the video orb.”

 

At Declan’s words, Raspen bowed his head and handed the magical device to Airi.

 

It looked like an ordinary black square box.

 

Airi looked at the video orb this way and that with a curious expression.

 

“Lady Airi. This is a video orb that operates with divine power. What you’re looking at now is the screen, and you can meet Grandmother with this video orb.”

 

Airi’s eyes became very large.

 

“G, Grandmother! You mean Melissa Marquess Grandmother?”

 

Cookie disappeared and now she could meet Grandmother.

 

At this amazing and mysterious coincidence, Airi opened her eyes wide.

 

“Ah, if you press that button there, it will work. It connects directly to Melissa Marquess, but you can only use it for 30 seconds a day.”

 

“Gasp, wow!”

 

‘It’s like FaceTime!’

 

Airi had done it a lot with her friends in elementary school too.

 

“Can I turn it on now?”

 

“Yes, but using it about ten times will be the limit.”

 

“G, gasp. Then I need to use it sparingly!”

 

Airi said energetically while holding the video orb tightly.

 

* * *

 

Airi looked into the video orb with a heart full of excitement.

 

The video made crackling noises.

 

Light came into the screen that had been completely black with a flash.

 

Then a very, very familiar face came into view.

 

“Oh my, my puppy! My puppy, why are you so thin? Huh?”

 

“Gasp, it’s Grandmother! Is it really Grandmother?”

 

“Of course, it’s Grandmother. My puppy who was like chicken bones has become fish bones, oh my.”

 

Grandmother looked at Airi with a pitying expression.

 

“Come to think of it, I haven’t eaten!”

 

Because of solving all sorts of incidents and accidents!

 

Then, Grandmother’s eyes became cold.

 

“Who’s bullying our baby puppy?”

 

“Yeah! But I scolded them all!”

 

At Airi’s words, her face became warm again.

 

“Oh my, my cute child.”

 

“Still, I’m so so happy to see Grandmother’s face after so long!”

 

“My child.”

 

Then, Grandmother said seriously.

 

“This grandmother is going to the Northern Region soon. So just be patient a little longer, okay?”

 

“Huh?”

 

But Grandmother can’t come to the Northern Region.

 

It was when Airi frowned with worry.

 

“So, are you playing well in the Northern Region?”

 

“Yeah! Grandmother! I performed a butt dance here and drank lots and lots of dust!”

 

“My child, so you’re saying.”

 

“Yeah! Grandmaaaa!”

 

“My little poop puppy, you rolled around in dust…?”

 

“Yeah! But it was really really…”

 

At that moment, the daily usage time of 30 seconds was completely over.

 

Airi looked at the magical device that cut off with a thud in dismay.

 

Meanwhile, Melissa Marquess swayed because of her momentarily spinning vision.

 

Her mind became dizzy because the magical device had taken too much of her divine power.

 

But what did confused mind matter.

 

My child.

 

My child whom I cherished, worrying she might get hurt like she was made of gold and jade.

 

The string of reason snapped with a thud.

 

The image of her granddaughter being persecuted in a castle possessed by evil spirits naturally came to mind.

 

But it was okay.

 

She muttered in an ominous voice.

 

“Now nine times left…”

 

This magical device worked by excessively consuming Melissa Marquess’s divine power.

 

Divine power is originally an ability that cannot be completely eliminated and naturally fills up.

 

But according to the Guild Master, if this magical device is used 10 times, divine power temporarily disappears completely.

 

Then it takes about three days to a week to slowly fill up again.

 

‘There was similar content in the old books I looked up separately.’

 

After the call with Airi ended, she endlessly pondered over the last words Olivia had said.

 

“If Mother goes to the Northern Region, at that time, there might be someone who happens to go to the Northern Region by coincidence. That person is fine. But, Mother. Please… Don’t deliberately select and send people to the Northern Region saying you’ll protect the child. Please, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely, don’t do such a thing.”

 

You said such things, Olivia. You…

 

Melissa Marquess still couldn’t guess Olivia’s intentions.

 

Why Olivia’s words matched so perfectly.

 

But she knew just one thing.

 

She had to follow Olivia’s words and protect Airi.

 

That was courtesy to Olivia, who might not have closed her eyes properly, leaving behind her child like a lump of blood, sleeping alone in a land full of monsters.

 

‘And there’s a person who fits perfectly with what Olivia said.’

 

After organizing the video orb and putting it neatly in the drawer.

 

Melissa Marquess headed to the family’s reception room.

 

“Ah! Have you been well? Marquess.”

 

“Taria Marquess, it’s been a while.”

 

“Yes! I came to see you before heading to the Northern Region. Anyway, I can’t just sit still when I think about Lady Airi—it makes me restless. My grandson Henry is also making a fuss about wanting to see Lady Airi.”

 

Come to think of it, this lady was the one who had been making a fuss about marrying her grandson to Airi.

 

‘My child will live in my arms for life.’

 

Melissa Marquess cleared her throat, showing her displeasure.

 

“Ahem, cough! Cough-hem.”

 

Taria winked affectionately as she spoke.

 

“Anyway, I’ll make sure to find out in detail what’s happening in the Northern Region.”
