A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 110

Tie’s eyes widened in surprise.

Then she looked at Jen with a bewildered expression.

“What’s this?”

At that, the tips of Jen’s ears turned bright red.

Jen didn’t answer and hurriedly pressed the object he had brought into Tie’s hands, then said.

“Don’t you know amber? It’s a gemstone that comes from the coal mine.”

“A gemstone?”

Tie’s expression became even more puzzled.

For something called a gemstone, what Jen had handed her just looked like a colored pebble.

“But why are you giving a gemstone to Tie?”

Jen pressed his lips tightly together and let out a deep sigh.

“Because you saved our village.”

Tie’s eyes grew round.

Jen’s cheeks turned bright red as he added.

“And you brought medicine so I could treat my face!”

Only then did Tie’s gaze turn to Jen’s right cheek.

Jen still had gauze with medicine stuck to his cheek.

It was where he had been injured when caught by Reginald’s Paladin the day after Agavert came to the village.

As Tie stared at it blankly, Jen hurriedly continued speaking.

“If it weren’t for you, our Mother and Father would have had to work in the coal mine every single day from now on. And I would have been heartbroken by that, so…”

“Heartbroken?”

“I would have kept doing bad things to try to help somehow.”

Suddenly, the image of Jen trying to steal Veil’s necklace flashed through her mind.

At the time, she had wondered why a child who didn’t seem much older than her would do such bad things.

“So when you tried to steal Veil’s thing back then…!”

Jen averted his gaze and spoke in a shrinking voice.

“…I know it was a bad thing to do. But I had to take things like that to sell so our family could survive.”

Jen gestured toward the gemstone he had just pressed into Tie’s hands.

“That gemstone, my Grandfather gave it to me before he passed away. He said he found it in the coal mine. I had been saving it to sell only when our family was really on the verge of starving to death…”

“…”

“The adults said so. Now that Adelin became the Lord, we don’t have to worry about starving to death.”

“I-I see…”

“So you take it.”

Tie unconsciously closed her mouth.

Then after a long while, she hesitantly nodded her head.

With a somewhat moved heart, she brought the bag on her back to the front.

And as she carefully placed the amber Jen gave her deep in the inner pocket, she said.

“Thank you, Jen. Tie doesn’t have much, but I’ll treasure it well…”

That’s when it happened.

“But you, ahem! Do you happen to have a boyfriend?”

Tie raised her head at the sudden question.

For some reason, Jen had an embarrassed expression as he tapped the ground with his toes.

Tie’s lips parted as she was momentarily stunned.

‘This is… a confession?’

Her heart pounded loudly.

Suddenly, she remembered something that happened when she attended Hanbit Kindergarten.

‘Seo-ya, you know… can I be your boyfriend?’

It was a day when the outdoor classes of Quail Class and Fawn Class happened to overlap.

That day, Tie and the other Quail Class Friends saw it.

Next to the slide, a boy from Fawn Class was confessing to the girl he liked!

‘Take this ring too!’

That boy even handed over a 1-carat diamond ring to the girl he said he liked.

That day, the Quail Class Friends watched that scene in complete fascination.

The girl who received the confession seemed hesitant at first.

But soon she became conscious of the surrounding gazes, and

‘Okay!’

With an embarrassed expression, she just took the ring.

Although the ring was too big and didn’t fit the girl’s finger.

But that day remained a historic day for the Quail Class Friends.

Because for some reason, in the afternoon, the confessing boy’s parents came to the preschool!

‘Sigh, I’m sorry, Teacher. Our Hyun-seo… No. I’m so embarrassed I don’t know what to say…’

‘Oh, no, Father. This kind of thing happens often. Still, at least the kids didn’t lose it while playing with it, right? Hahaha…’

The Quail Class Friends watched the Teacher and parent having a serious conversation and began their deduction.

‘Why did Hyun-seo’s Father come to preschool?’

‘Dummy, don’t you know that? Hyun-seo is going to marry Seo as he wanted, so that’s why.’

Of course, Tie was one of them too.

‘Right. Marriage is something really serious. Even in dramas, the director’s Mother says that. With eyes like this, over my dead body will you two get married!’

‘But isn’t that “over my dead body”?’

‘Same thing.’

‘Hmm…’

What were matters between men and women?

That act that seemed like only adults could do stirred up a strange sense of taboo in children.

So it was also an unknown territory that sparked even more curiosity.

‘But for such a day to come to Tie too…!’

Tie swallowed her saliva and raised her head.

Jen was still blushing red and twisting his body around.

“I just thought. If you don’t have a boyfriend, I’m tall and fast at running, so how about it…”

But she couldn’t make such an important decision with just her heart alone.

Just as Tie was about to ask Jen a few questions.

“Wh-wh-wh-what is this Child saying right now?!”

Veil suddenly appeared from somewhere.

Veil had his mouth hanging open as he stammered.

“How old are you? How old are you to already be discussing boyfriends and such things?”

Jen furrowed his brow.

Soon a rebellious look appeared on the child’s face.

“…I’m six years old, so what?”

“Do you even know what a boyfriend is?”

Jen stuck out her lips in a pout.

“Mister. Do you think I would confess to her without knowing that?”

Jen added to Veil, whose mouth was hanging open.

“When you become boyfriend and girlfriend, you tie each other’s shoelaces. You always wait to eat dinner together, and the boyfriend holds doors open for his girlfriend.”

Tie gulped.

To think she knew about things between men and women that Tie didn’t know.

Jen really did seem to be six years old after all.

‘Maturity, passed!’

Having made up her mind, Tie gently tugged on Veil’s sleeve.

“Veil oppa.”

Then she said.

“Tie is having a conversation with children right now, so could you go wait over there?”

Veil staggered in his spot.

But Tie pushed Veil aside and stepped forward, putting on an innocent expression.

“So what you gave me earlier was instead of a 1-carat diamond ring?”

“Huh?”

“You’re supposed to give a 1-carat diamond when you confess.”

Jen’s eyes widened and she nodded.

“Mm-hmm. That’s right.”

“Okay, I understand. But Tie has to go to Jedo today. Is Jen okay with long distance?”

This was actually the most important question.

However, Jen’s expression became puzzled at the mention of long distance.

“Long distance? What’s that?”

Tie raised one finger and began explaining earnestly.

“It’s what Teacher Isolje from Quail Class does. You’re far apart from your boyfriend so you only see each other sometimes.”

“What? Only sometimes?”

“Yeah! If you’re busy, you might only see each other once every three months!”

Jen’s face darkened. The child asked hesitantly.

“Then we can’t eat dinner together every day…?”

“I guess not?”

Shocked, Jen stared down at the ground in dismay.

Then she soon looked at Tie with an expression full of troubled feelings.

“I-If it’s like that, I don’t think I can be your boyfriend… Sorry.”

Tie blinked.

But she soon smiled brightly as if she had expected this.

“It’s okay!”

Jen, who had been rigidly troubled, stared at Tie.

“Aren’t you disappointed?”

Tie answered while firmly slinging her bag over her back.

“Not really. Tie finished preparing mentally when she decided to become a mercenary.”

“Mental preparation?”

“Mm-hmm. Due to the nature of the job, it’s natural not to have time to hang out with a boyfriend, right?”

“I-I see…”

Jen’s eyes sparkled with a strange admiration.

Jen soon added, sounding truly disappointed.

“It’s really too bad. If you let me be your boyfriend, I could have held doors open for you every day.”

Tie coolly waved her hand.

“Can’t be helped. Let’s think about reality even if it’s disappointing! Jen will be able to meet someone better.”

Then she gestured to her bag.

“Thanks for the jewel! Let’s play together next time you come visit!”

“Mm-hmm…”

You have to know when to let go of relationships that aren’t meant to be.

Leaving her regretful feelings behind, Tie turned around feeling empty.

But she soon stopped and froze in place.

In front of the carriage.

The unit members stood frozen like faithful wives waiting for their husbands, staring at her.

Among them were Lucalion and Ppupppu with wide eyes.
