Episode 81

 

“Come on, let’s go!”

 

It started with leaving the room and taking a walk!

 

When Airi said she wanted to take a walk, maids and servants followed behind.

 

Airi walked with her plump, swollen belly sticking out.

 

‘Without the plum tea that Grandmother used to give me, my stomach feels bloated.’

 

Still, taking a walk with Cookie and getting some fresh air made her feel better.

 

A walking path where one cookie and one human walked together.

 

It was the path that ran along the inside of the castle walls.

 

“They definitely said so in the Heavenly Realm. That those who scatter dark magic would appear!”

 

But even though they had walked for a full 30 minutes, they hadn’t encountered anyone.

 

‘Can I really trust this Cookie?’

 

Airi shook her head back and forth.

 

After Airi and Cookie walked for an hour like that, they got tired, gave up, and returned to the room.

 

But Airi’s room was in complete chaos, unlike usual.

 

“…Grandmothers?”

 

Warm Melissa Grandmother holding an axe in one hand, and cold Yelshanad Grandmother facing her with fierce eyes.

 

Airi, caught between the two, waved her hands frantically then stopped abruptly.

 

“Grandmothers! What are you doing?”

 

“Oh my, this old woman thought someone kidnapped our puppy.”

 

“Huh, kidnapped, you say?”

 

“Yes. I heard there’s even a man-eating armored knight by some strange pond here!”

 

…Was there such a thing?

 

But to deny it, Melissa Grandmother looked like she might kill someone.

 

As flustered Airi’s lips trembled, Yelshanad spoke.

 

“Then tell us. Where did you go so busily with those short legs?”

 

The grandmothers’ tense gazes fixed on Airi.

 

Airi blinked and answered.

 

“I, I went to the bathroom…?”

 

* * *

 

She had only gone for one walk.

 

“My baby, how can you walk around the corridors!”

 

“But, corridors are meant to be walked on…”

 

“Right. How do you walk with those tiny feet?”

 

“I, I walk every day though…?”

 

Dissatisfaction was evident in their expressions.

 

Perhaps because of that, Airi became somewhat sullen.

 

But Airi didn’t have time to wonder further.

 

While thinking hard with her little head, she was tightly wrapped up between the grandmothers!

 

“Come, let’s sleep quickly.”

 

“Right.”

 

Airi was lifted up and laid on the bed.

 

Getting into the soft blankets was nice, but.

 

‘Wh, what is this?’

 

Airi glanced sideways earnestly and asked.

 

“But, but aren’t you leaving?”

 

Yelshanad Grandmother on the left, Melissa Marquess Grandmother on the right.

 

[How am I supposed to sleep with them on both sides like this!]

 

Cookie, who was inside Airi’s pajamas, sent a telepathic message as if feeling wronged.

 

Airi couldn’t sleep properly because she was watching the grandmothers’ reactions.

 

[That’s why we need to hurry and go eat the artificially scattered dark magic, right? That’s a real goldmine. These stupid dark force idiots. Kekeke.]

 

No matter how she thought about it, Cookie seemed to be getting more and more evil.

 

‘Is this okay, Cookie!’

 

Airi tried to pet Cookie in her arms worriedly.

 

But then the grandmothers firmly grasped both of Airi’s hands.

 

“Baby, where are you trying to go?”

 

“Don’t go.”

 

Because of the grandmothers on both sides, she couldn’t even pet Cookie properly.

 

‘Being between grandmothers isn’t easy.’

 

Then, Cookie said indifferently.

 

[Can’t help it. Hmm, how about this method? We make that powerful grandmother our ally!]

 

…Huh?

 

The hero’s new companion, Grandmother?

 

‘This isn’t bad!’

 

[Right! Let’s ask the grandmothers to go outside together. And show off your skills too!]

 

‘Huh, show off my skills to Grandmother?’

 

Airi’s eyes widened.

 

Then she recalled her past with Grandmother.

 

“Our puppy dances the best among all the 5-year-old Southern Region young ladies!”

 

“Yeah! Grandmother! I’m the best!”

 

“Oh my, my baby!”

 

‘But I need to save Grandmother.’

 

To Airi who was thinking deeply, Cookie whispered a devil’s, no, Cookie’s temptation.

 

[Today won’t be such a dangerous mission, right? And your grandmother is strong.]

 

‘Is our grandmother that strong?’

 

[Right, let’s go out now! We don’t know when those who scatter dark magic will disappear.]

 

Cookie bounced around excitedly in her chest.

 

Airi’s little head spun around.

 

‘Is the grandmother companion method the only way after all?’

 

As Cookie said, there seemed to be only one way to eat lots of dark magic, bring the grandmothers closer together, and above all, avoid overeating.

 

Airi looked at both grandmothers with determination.

 

“Um, Gr, Grandmothers!”

 

“Yes?”

 

A way to resolve things between the two and help Airi grow rapidly to 3-star level!

 

Airi spoke politely and respectfully.

 

“If you’re not sleepy, could you help me?”

 

* * *

 

Airi set out with determination, holding each grandmother’s hand.

 

“Actually, I’m a Purification Mage. As you well know, I’m very amazing.”

 

“Yes, yes. Our baby is amazing.”

 

“But I discovered very bad dark magic! So I’m trying to defeat it.”

 

“My goodness, this grandmother will go defeat it!”

 

“Right, we’ll do it, so baby should go sleep.”

 

“No, no good! I have to be there too. So, will you come with me?”

 

Selecting both grandmothers as ‘the hero’s companions’ and bringing them along was good.

 

Even when she held the grandmothers’ hands under the darkening sky, it was good because the pitch-black outside wasn’t scary.

 

Yes, it was really good up to this point.

 

But after walking outside for about ten minutes, Airi began to get confused about everything.

 

“Hmm, grass doesn’t grow here.”

 

“Things like dandelions occasionally do.”

We’re clearly heading out to catch the demonic energy surrounding the Northern Region.

 

So why on earth are the grandmothers talking about plants?

 

“The leaves of the Ruth tree are used as medicine. I used to use them as fever reducers whenever my child got sick, but it seems they don’t exist in the Northern Region.”

 

“When the baby gets sick, we can just mobilize a hundred or a thousand physicians to cure her.”

 

Cookie quietly muttered.

 

[We’re definitely going to defeat a villain full of demonic energy, but there’s no tension at all. Is this right?]

 

‘I know, right? Something seems a bit off…’

 

The grandmothers’ deep conversation about plants was making her ears hurt.

 

She had to find the artificially flowing demonic energy.

 

And quite appetizing prey appeared before Airi.

 

‘Oh! It’s the infirmary!’

 

Come to think of it, that was a place where Airi hadn’t conducted purification activities yet.

 

Meaning there might be people tainted with demonic energy!

 

‘Even if it’s not artificial demonic energy, I should check it out once.’

 

Airi’s eyes sharpened.

 

She had a feeling that suspicious smells were wafting from that place.

 

“Grandmother.”

 

“Yes?”

 

“My tummy hurts a little bit, can I go to the infirmary?”

 

The grandmothers’ eyes widened.

 

Airi was immediately carried on Melissa Marquess’s back.

 

‘This is ridiculous. So much for a hero’s dignity!’

 

Airi started getting confused belatedly.

 

Don’t heroes usually enter majestically when absorbing demonic energy?

 

Walking while holding grandmothers’ hands, saying ‘Grandmother, my tummy hurts!’ and entering the infirmary – isn’t that a patient, not a hero?

 

But being carried on grandmother’s huge back allowed her to enter the infirmary easily and quickly.
