Episode 78
* * *
After some time had passed.
Five members of the 【Airi-Loving Grandmother Squad】 who had infiltrated in advance as spies for Melissa Marquess.
Five children under the age of five who were less affected by magic due to their abilities.
A total of eleven people appeared in the Northern Region.
They moved with swift and urgent speed.
They had come up to the Northern Region with a grand mission.
They were already well aware of the Northern Region’s notorious reputation.
They were worried about how much Airi might be suffering in the Northern Region…
“Wowww, hello there!”
…Huh?
Airi was still just as adorably bouncy as ever.
Her body was clean as if freshly washed.
Though her hair was a bit disheveled…
Just then, a maid grabbed Airi’s hair and tied it up, saying:
“Oh my! Little Round One! I’ll tie it in pigtails for you!”
“Gasp! Yes!”
Right when Airi and the maid were having a friendly conversation.
The noble lady wore a worried expression.
‘The etiquette is different after all. Will Lady Airi be able to adapt well?’
She needed to watch carefully whether this was the Northern people’s way of showing affection, or if they were deliberately tormenting Airi.
‘If it’s some kind of bullying, I won’t stand for it!’
Just as they were glaring at Airi and the maids with fierce eyes.
“Come here! Let’s play together!”
All five grandchildren wearing round magic-blocking clothes gathered around Airi in a bustling crowd.
“Wow! Lady Airi!”
“It’s Lady Airi!”
Two of the five were girls, three were boys.
But these ambitious children all had one goal!
To catch Airi’s eye and become her closest friends!
* * *
Airi, the 【Airi-Loving Grandmother Squad】, and their grandchildren sat in a circle on the garden bench.
The children raised their hands high and shouted:
“Lady Airi! Please show us that martial arts move you demonstrated last time when you said you’d teach us ‘good night’!”
“Hmm, alright. But remember this. Use it only on rude people.”
“Yes!”
These were children who couldn’t distinguish between rude and impolite.
They were simply curious about the movements Airi would show them.
Among the babies sending sparkling gazes toward Airi.
Airi clenched both fists tightly and performed a flying kick into the air.
Then she landed gracefully!
“W-wow!”
Airi’s pose after the flying kick made her look exactly like a little martial artist.
To children five years old and under, ‘strength’ was the same as coolness!
Thunderous applause erupted among the children at Airi’s display.
At that moment, Henry approached hesitantly and shouted loudly:
“Grandmother!”
“Yeah!”
“Henry and Lady Airi are going to get married!”
“Yeah? Marriage?”
Henry said with reddened cheeks:
“Yes! Henry and Lady Airi will take etiquette lessons together every day.”
“Yeah!”
“Every day we’ll, um, um. Get along well.”
“Yeah, we did.”
“Then, then! That means we’re getting married!”
Up until this point, the noble ladies had forgotten that this was the dangerous Northern Region and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
“Ahaha! Henry, how cute. Henry must really like Lady Airi!”
“I guess so.”
But right at that moment.
Thud, crash!
When they turned around at some thunderous sound from the distance—
Serafin was standing there having dropped delicious soup on the ground.
Airi was quite used to children who threw tantrums about marrying her.
But Serafin was different.
He was glaring at the five children with fierce eyes.
These brats, for some reason, really rubbed him the wrong way!
“These are my friends!”
“Hello?”
“Ha! Even their pronunciation is lisping like little kids? Marriage, what marriage?”
Despite Serafin’s fierce glare, four-year-old Henry smiled sweetly.
“I can get married! Big brother!”
“Why, why, why am I your big brother!”
Sociable Henry laughed brightly and stamped his feet.
“Since I’m going to marry Lady Airi, Sir Serafin is my big brother!”
At this bold marriage declaration, Serafin’s face turned bright red.
“Get lost! You four-year-old!”
“?!”
Enraged Serafin stomped his foot.
“I’ll never give my little sister to you! Even if magic gets in my eyes!”
Then Henry said:
“Sir Serafin already has magic in your eyes!”
“What, what?!”
“Because you’re a Northern person.”
People who have lived in the Northern Region for a long time are exposed to magic above a certain level, whether big or small…
‘Irrefutable!’
Serafin found himself in the greatest predicament of his life.
Serafin fumed at the attack from a four-year-old child.
There was no way he could win against the Southern children with words!
“Henry, come here. Time for etiquette lessons.”
“Yes!”
Henry walked with quick steps toward Airi.
Then he gave Serafin a cheeky smile!
‘That cunning four-year-old!’
He needed to let Airi know that brat was cunning!
Unaware of Serafin’s burning frustration, Airi asked Henry kindly:
“Hmm, shall we do some martial arts training together today too?”
“Oh, yes!”
Airi seemed too busy teaching those brats etiquette lessons to notice anything else.
‘Those people said they’re leaving the castle in three hours, right?’
I hope they leave quickly!
Just then, Henry spoke.
“It’s a bit embarrassing, but when Airi comes to the South later, I’ll do something nice for her!”
‘Airi is going back to the South?!’
In Serafin’s mind, an image of four-year-old Henry presenting Airi with a bouquet of a million roses began to bloom.
‘Then if those two get married, what about me? Who will I play with! And I’m the leader!’
The age of rich imagination about marriage – thirteen years old.
Serafin’s eyes flashed with anger as he spoke.
“You guys, don’t talk about such things and come here so I can show you around the Northern Region!”
He would compare the North and South to Airi and widely appeal the greatness of the North.
‘I’ll make sure she never even thinks about going to the South again! Where does the leader think she’s going!’
And so.
A tour of the Northern Ortejo Castle by the Southern people, which was in no one’s plans, ended up being decided…
* * *
First, Serafin showed them the Purification Stone located outside the castle.
“Do you know what this is!”
“Wow! There are scary names written on it!”
“That’s right. If you get close, the magic energy has a bad effect on your body and mind. For reference, I heard hallucinations for about a hundred days.”
At those words, the five noble ladies of the 【Airi-Loving Grandmother Group】 unconsciously gripped their grandchildren’s shoulders.
Unaware of this fact, Serafin was very satisfied, thinking he had appealed the strength of the North.
“L-let’s go to the next place. Where will you show us next?”
At the elegant noble lady’s words, Serafin said.
“If we go over there, there’s a place called the Dark Pond. Kuhuhuhuh… That place is full of !”
Full of dark energy?
Is it okay for children to go to such a place?
These were people who had lived in the South, which was always warm and soft.
When they looked at Airi with worried expressions.
Airi hopped like a rabbit and shouted.
“The Dark Pond! I know that place too, and it’s incredibly powerful! You can try dipping your hands in it!”
“Huh, gasp.”
This was Airi, who had always been soft, plump, and lovable.
But now that same Airi was enthusiastically introducing the strange places of the North?
It was such a change that if Melissa Marquess saw it, she could grab Declan by the collar.
Unaware of the noble ladies’ feelings, Airi excitedly added a few more words.
“Oh! They said there’s also a cursed armor soldier next to the pond!”
“Oh, little one? How did you know about that?”
“I saw it last time and thought it was a person, so I told it that it was rude, but it kept chasing me!”
The Southern children, who thought everything Airi did was wonderful, looked around with curious expressions.
“Wow! It would be nice if Henry’s house also had a dark pond.”
And so, while Airi showed them around various parts of Ortejo Castle and wandered about.
The noble ladies’ faces gradually became deathly pale.
‘Airi is still cute, but she’s become too influenced by the Northern atmosphere!’
‘Is it really okay for Airi to stay in the North?’
‘If Melissa Marquess finds out about this…’
Until they left the castle and returned home, their anguish continued.
