A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 108

Sniffling, Tie pushed her third tart into her mouth.

“Tie, you should eat porridge. How many snacks have you eaten already?”

Basto scolded her, but Tie just shook her head back and forth.

“Tie doesn’t like carrot porridge.”

Then she quickly pulled the plate of tarts into her arms as if someone might steal them.

The tarts were topped with figs stewed in honey.

For Tie, it was an incredibly delicious snack she had never tasted before in her life.

“Tarru is much better.”

“…It’s not tarru, it’s tart.”

Veil corrected her, but Tie just shrugged her shoulders.

Tie had stopped crying just a little while ago.

It was when the food Adelin had sent arrived in the room while she was hugging Veil and sniffling.

‘Whether that woman meets her mother or not, what does that have to do with you, huh? Stop helping others while ruining your own body! You can’t even take care of yourself, so why do you keep trying to help others and getting hurt like this…!’

Veil’s tears, shown for the first time in front of the members, lasted longer than expected.

He held Tie tightly and cried for a while.

Of course, Tie never backed down even against the crying Veil.

‘But Tie also lost family like sister! Don’t you know that losing family is so sad that you have to help?’

Seeing Tie talk back stubbornly despite having experienced mana depletion, Veil sighed.

But actually, Tie was also quite shocked.

Until now, Tie hadn’t known exactly what mana depletion was.

The power she felt inside her body had never been insufficient or excessive.

But today was different.

‘Is it because Tie caught a cold…?’

Or was it because she recently started sharing mana with Ppupppu who joined them?

As soon as she manifested Stasia, unbearable chills came over her body.

She wondered if this was how it would feel to be so starved for a hundred or thousand days that you couldn’t even lift a finger.

Still, she felt much better after sleeping, so Tie was able to reassure the members.

Just then, someone knocked on the door of the room where the members were resting.

When they opened the door, a servant stood in front of the room with a tray full of food.

“This is food that the Lord sent up. She’s currently handling the situation downstairs, and asked me to tell you she’ll visit as soon as things are finished.”

Tie immediately understood the situation.

Since she had regained her position, Adelin would have many things to do from now on.

According to Basto, Adelin was already calling the villagers to repair the underground prison.

They needed to fix the prison to be able to confine Reginald and the bad soldiers.

Tie wiped her runny nose and examined the food.

What stood out most on the tray was definitely the hot soup in a large bowl.

But…

“Ugh, why is it orange?”

The problem was that the soup was a bright orange color.

The servant answered with a very kind smile.

“This is the head chef’s special menu, carrot soup.”

“I… don’t like it.”

She wondered why carrots seemed to be everywhere she went.

Tie’s history of disliking carrots went back to when she was in South Korea.

But the first day she came to this other world and met Basto, it was also carrot soup.

The meal she almost had to eat at Gwanmun Inn was also carrot soup.

Now even the food she was eating after waking up from her first experience with mana depletion was carrot soup…

Tie got down from the bed with a serious face and examined the lower tier of the tray.

And she discovered several other foods that appeared to be desserts.

As a result, what ultimately received Tie’s choice was this very tart.

“All done!”

When she put down the plate, Veil shook his head.

Then he brushed the breadcrumbs from the child’s mouth and asked.

“You said you were hungry. Can dessert fill your stomach?”

Tie giggled.

“Uh-huh, it’s sweet so I like it.”

“…You’ll probably be running around excitedly again later.”

Tie’s mood would quickly improve whenever she ate something sweet.

She had bothered the members more than once or twice because she suddenly had excess energy.

Veil finally burst into laughter.

‘Is it because she’s small?’

It was somehow cute that eating a little sugar gave her enough energy to bounce around.

He soon picked up a steamed potato from another plate on the tray and held it out.

“Eat this too. You can’t just eat snacks no matter what.”

Tie grumbled but took the potato Veil offered.

It was when the child took a big bite of the cooled potato that was good for her to eat.

There was a commotion outside the door, then someone burst the door open.

“Astie!”

It was Nordics who entered, sweating profusely.

“Wh, what happened? They said there was a battle at the Lord’s Castle!”

All the members stared at Nordics with surprised faces.

“And what’s this about Reginald being captured! I didn’t know anything and was asking the villagers to help change the carriage wheels! I was going to run away as soon as Veil came…!”

Silence fell over the room.

Astie, who had put down the potato, looked around with a puzzled face.

“Didn’t you tell Grandpa Nordics that we came here?”

Everyone stared at each other bewildered.

“Well, I was going to.”

“I’m sorry. I forgot that I was supposed to go get him…”

“Sir, are you alright?”

Nordics looked around at the members with an absurd expression.

Soon his legs gave out and he slumped down at the doorway.

While eating the carrot soup Tie had left behind, Nordics spoke.

“The villagers are quite skilled with their hands.”

He must have been hungry as he was emptying his plate at tremendous speed.

“They must have been grateful that Veil punished Reginald, because young people came flocking over. They put metal rims on the wheels and reinforced the axles with good oak wood from somewhere.”

Basto’s eyes widened.

“Is that really true?”

“Yes. They completely overhauled the internal structure of one carriage the councilor gave us. They removed the cargo hold floor and laid down straw. That’s become a bedroom now.”

At the word bedroom, Tie’s lips parted.

“Then we can sleep in the carriage now?”

“Yes. Though we’ll have to take turns using it.”

“Waaah…!”

That’s when it happened.

“So when will we be departing for Jedo?”

Raul asked.

He looked at Veil, who was wrapped head to toe in bandages, and added.

“Since Veil’s injuries are severe, it might not be bad to rest a bit more before we go.”

Nordics stroked his chin.

“That’s the problem. I also think it would be better to stay a little longer, but considering we need to look for a base in Jedo, time might be a bit tight.”

Enzo nodded.

Indeed, to purchase a mansion, they would surely need at least three days to look around various places.

“If we don’t have a place to stay, we’ll end up wandering from inn to inn again…”

Nordics gazed intently at Tie.

“If that happens, I’m worried that various attention will be drawn to Astie.”

Attention will be drawn?

Wouldn’t that be a good thing?

Astie’s eyes widened, but the other unit members were lost in thought with serious expressions.

“Well, considering our recent activities…”

Since passing through the Gateway.

Agavert had literally been caught up in various incidents without rest.

“…The Weapon District incident is somewhat concerning.”

Among them, the biggest incident was indeed the Weapon District incident, as Veil said.

The incident where it became known that Astie had destroyed Krazaru’s core.

“Obviously, information brokers will swarm like crazy. There are many watching eyes in Jedo, so we’ll have to be careful even about trivial things…”

‘Isn’t this no different from restraining the child so he can’t even act spoiled freely in front of people?’

Most of all, what Berukon had said in the Weapon District weighed on his mind.

It was when the unit members were all falling into worry.

“Don’t worry. There’s a place where you can stay right away.”

The door opened and Adelin appeared.

She came inside, removing the cloak she had been wearing.

“The mansion I mentioned I had purchased in Jedo. I’ve been bothered by leaving it empty all this time…”

She looked at Tie with a complicated smile.

“Perhaps it was waiting to find its owner like this.”
