Episode 80
A battle of wits between two proud grandmothers had begun!
Before Airi could even open her mouth, Melissa Marquess and Yelshanad acted first.
They used their forks to pile all kinds of dishes onto Airi’s plate.
Their speed was incredibly fast.
‘Huh, why?’
One grandmother was already more than enough.
But now there were two grandmothers!
Truly an overwhelming amount of food began pouring in, more than she could handle!
Airi found herself trapped between the two grandmothers.
She had become completely helpless in this situation.
Still, Airi barely managed to gather courage and speak.
“I, I can’t eat all of this!”
“…No, you can eat it.”
“Of course you can eat it.”
“This grandmother will give you some nutritious salad, baby.”
“No. Grass like salad won’t do. Eat pasta noodles. It’s healthy food.”
Airi stopped in the middle and rolled her eyes helplessly, unable to do anything.
‘We had a virtual confrontation not long ago, but now a real confrontation has come. What should I do?’
Salad and pasta noodles.
Looking at the forks the two people held out, Airi rolled her eyes.
A confrontation between two grandmothers with Airi in between!
But Airi cast a determined gaze.
Actually, stopping grandmothers from fighting is very, very simple.
One word was enough.
Grandmother expert.
Airi clenched her chubby fists and shouted.
“Wow! Both look so so delicious!”
The confrontation between the two ended anticlimactically.
There was no time to sharpen their blades.
“Come on, hurry up and eat. It doesn’t matter what you eat. Eat both, my little puppy.”
“Right. Eat everything.”
Yelshanad and Melissa simultaneously contorted their expressions.
“Call the chef immediately.”
“Have them bring out the most food right away.”
Airi’s belly protruded roundly.
To the point where nothing more could fit inside.
‘The side effects of stopping grandmother fights are a bit serious…’
Airi fell into a deep sleep due to the aftermath of overeating, with a rumbling sound.
‘S, save me…’
Thanks to Airi’s oversleeping, that day’s meal ended simply.
* * *
After laying the overfed Airi on the bed.
A simple tea time was arranged among the adults.
This time, Milligan also appeared.
“Um, in-law. I’m sorry. The Lord isn’t present.”
“Lord Ortejo.”
“Yes, yes.”
“It doesn’t matter if I don’t meet him.”
The relationship between Declan and herself had long ago crossed an irreversible river due to Olivia’s death.
It meant it was more refreshing for them not to see each other’s faces.
‘Even this current gathering isn’t really necessary.’
She knew it was arranged because Milligan Ortejo strongly insisted, ‘According to family etiquette, we must have time to host and converse with distinguished guests!’
‘Then I should find out how my child is living here.’
Yelshanad’s attitude was quite confusing. So she planned to ask Milligan, who was easier to read.
She took a sip of the tea placed on the table.
“Come to think of it, in-law. I’m curious about how our Airi is doing.”
She had merely opened the conversation.
But it was quite strange.
Why on earth was the flow of conversation…?
“Airi is quite well-mannered. She’s a child who even memorizes the family genealogy. She’s already memorized from the 3rd generation to the 32nd generation! Hahaha!”
“Ah.”
“I’ve never seen such a smart child.”
She had definitely intended to ask about Airi’s current condition, and if there were any shortcomings, to immediately take her back to the Southern Region.
Melissa Marquess’s brow twitched.
“My granddaughter is originally like that, yes. Cute, lovely, and endearing.”
“Of course. How well she walks with those tiny feet! She walks just like a little puppy, toddling along, doesn’t she?”
Melissa lifted her tea with some satisfaction.
Yes, even in this rotten household, there are those who know my child’s preciousness.
It was when she took another sip of tea in satisfaction. Yelshanad, who had been quiet, opened her mouth.
“Is that all?”
This snort was familiar.
Milligan and Melissa’s gazes turned toward Yelshanad.
Yelshanad snorted as if she couldn’t stand it and asked.
“I find her nose the cutest.”
“…?”
“She keeps sniffing with that round nose, and I can’t stand it.”
It’s not like she was talking about a puppy.
She gazed at Yelshanad with a thin stare.
She had been speaking coldly and coolly all along, but suddenly praising Airi’s nose was suspicious.
“Madam, please show some affection in front of Airi too.”
“She’s too cute, but showing affection would be troublesome. It puts strain on my heart too.”
Watching the two bicker, Melissa Marquess thought.
I thought she was eating dirt, my child.
‘My child, is she receiving love here too?’
Naturally, she had thought she was a child worthy of anyone’s affection.
But seeing them actually cherishing the child, her heart, which had been like thin ice, thawed just a little.
Perhaps it was also because she didn’t meet Declan, that ruthless bastard.
‘They know my puppy is cute, so they’re not treating her completely terribly.’
That was exactly her impression.
And what remained in her heart was one thing.
‘…I wonder if Serafin is doing well.’
Sometimes she received photos of Serafin from Declan.
‘Does he…remember me?’
This grandmother misses our skinny first puppy too.
He must have gotten thin as a thorn…
He should gain weight and become chubby like Airi.
* * *
Meanwhile, Airi barely woke up from her overstuffed state.
“I, I almost died.”
It seemed like covering even one Grandmother was difficult, and she nearly got assassinated trying to cover two of them.
Airi rubbed her protruding belly and muttered.
“Never again will I eat…”
It felt like she wouldn’t be hungry even if she starved until the day after tomorrow.
But right at that moment.
She felt someone tapping the window with pitiful hands – tap, tap tap tap.
Airi tilted her head and opened the window.
“What?”
Cookie finally appeared from outside the window.
“Oh my! Airi! I’m so late, aaaaah…”
Airi was shocked seeing Cookie completely soaked.
“What happened, Cookie?!”
“Airi! I found out how you can become a 3-star hero! From the Heavenly Realm no less!”
* * *
Airi immediately brought Cookie into her arms and dried him off.
Had he been on a long adventure since leaving Airi’s embrace?
Cookie, whose surface seemed a bit crumbly, chattered away non-stop.
“To become a 3-star Purification Mage, eating ordinary magi won’t do.”
“Huh, huk.”
“You need to eat special magi for it to be possible.”
“Huh, huk. Really?”
“Hmm… But I don’t know what that ‘special magi’ is. There are hints though? Here, take a look at this.”
Cookie handed over a paper he had diligently written on.
[Tip for Heroes!
A world dominated by evil Dark Forces that artificially spread magi.
But artificially ‘created’ magi can be easily absorbed through the ‘Ring of Purification’?!
Moreover, ‘created’ magi is so easily visible to a hero’s eyes?!]
Cookie, who had confidently presented all these hints, shouted with satisfaction.
“Kya, this is even better! Dark Forces! Spread that magi generously!”
…That doesn’t seem quite right though.
Still, though not as much as Cookie, Airi couldn’t hide her excitement.
[※ However, there are various conditions for absorbing ‘artificial magi’ created by humans, not monsters.]
Airi stroked her chin and fell deep in thought.
Then Cookie said confidently.
“Then how about we go around and look for some?”
Cookie grinned at Airi’s suggestion.
“Yes, let’s do that!”
