A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 116

The next day.

Tie woke up alone at five in the morning.

Then she tiptoed down the stairs so she wouldn’t wake the unit members.

Next, she found a fresh apple in the kitchen and asked while crunching on it.

“Kamang. How’s your room?”

Lucalion, who was sitting in front of the fireplace on the 1st floor, answered listlessly.

“Good.”

“I see!”

Yesterday, Tie had asked Marshal to give Lucalion a room to use.

Of course, even though Lucalion was known as Tie’s summoned creature,

‘Right now I’m experimenting with the battery necklace that Factory Manager Berukon gave me!’

When not using magic, Lucalion couldn’t return to being a dragon or black stone.

Marshal gladly showed them a room where Lucalion could stay.

‘Oh my, you should have said so earlier. We have plenty of rooms. Do you need anything? Maybe some toys?’

Naturally, Lucalion refused the toys.

Instead, he carried an armful of old books he found in the basement to his room.

They were difficult books that only adults would read, but Lucalion was impressive as expected.

Tie stopped eating her apple and grinned while looking at Lucalion.

“You know, Kamang, Veil said to you ‘A summoned creature living in luxury!’ like that.”

Then she lowered her voice and whispered.

“But Tie thinks you should have the most power! Because Kamang was Tie’s very first companion.”

At those words, Lucalion put down his book and stared at Tie.

At the same time, Ppupppu, who had been sitting on the floor, suddenly stood up.

Ppupppu made a sulky expression and stomped his trunk on the floor with thuds.

But Tie gently patted Ppupppu’s head and spoke to Lucalion again.

“You know, Lucarion, at first Tie was a mess, but now I have a house and money too.”

“….”

“So Lucarion will keep staying with Tie, right? Because Tie likes Lucarion the most in the world!”

Lucalion opened his lips.

“Uh, well….”

And he fidgeted with his ears in bewilderment.

Maybe it was because he’d been sitting in front of the fireplace too long.

His ears felt hot.

It was when Lucalion was channeling magic to his fingertips to cool his ears.

“Huh?”

Tie, who was beside him, suddenly jumped up.

Then,

“It’s a kitty!”

She opened the large door and rushed out of the manor.

“Hey, monster. Keep a good watch.”

[You do your job well too, lizard.]

Lucalion and Ppupppu sat in front of the mansion’s entrance.

And they watched Tie, who had been excitedly running around the garden for a while now.

Tie had been running around the garden for 10 minutes already.

“This is grass, this is also grass, this is… a flower, this is grass….”

Was it fun to go around the garden telling every plant ‘this is grass’?

And when she found something like an unusual stone, was it really fun to put it in her pocket?

Astie really did incomprehensible things sometimes.

Meanwhile, Tie was newly amazed by the exterior of the manor, which was several times larger than the interior.

“The yard is huge!”

She did know one friend from Quail Class who lived in a house with a yard. Hyeonwoo.

But even without yards, friends who lived in apartments all had small garden-like areas within their complexes.

‘Come to think of it, only Tie didn’t have a yard…?’

Gold Apartment was squeezed right next to a very narrow alley.

So there was no yard or garden to speak of.

But now Tie was the owner of this huge yard.

‘This is exactly like money laundering…!’

It was the moment when Tie was looking around with moved eyes.

In the distance, she could see a solid fence built around the huge manor.

Suddenly, she remembered what Veil had warned her about yesterday evening.

‘Child, just in case, let me tell you something. If you’re going anywhere from now on, you must only go to the front here, okay? You can only walk around inside the garden surrounded by the fence. Got it?’

‘Yes!’

Tie had answered energetically.

Tie was going to be five soon, so how could she not know that?

She had learned not to wander around outside the house carelessly when she was only two years old.

‘Also, when you go outside the fence, travel with us. Actually, this kind of crowded city is more dangerous. You know?’

But hearing the words that followed, even Tie had to snort.

Crowded? No matter how crowded, it couldn’t be more than Jongno-gu.

Tie had even often gone on errands to the neighborhood supermarket in that very Jongno-gu.

Being able to run errands meant that Tie was an incredibly smart and mature child.

“Kamang! Tie will go look at that fence over there!”

When Tie spoke more maturely than usual, Lucalion got up from his seat.

But Tie had already run to the right end of the manor’s front yard.

“Wow.”

Tie, who had reached the fence, opened her mouth.

Beyond the fence, there was another manor similar in size to Tie’s manor.

“Tie’s neighboring house…?”

Mentioning the neighboring house immediately brought 107 Grandmother to mind.

The grandmother who always called Tie to eat together whenever she had something delicious.

The grandmother who took care of Tie whenever Father wasn’t there and let her watch TV to her heart’s content!

In Tie’s mind, close neighbors were no different from family.

The child’s face brightened as she gripped the fence.

If she did well, she might be able to pass through the fence and enter the neighboring house’s yard.

‘After going in, I could bow and greet them, couldn’t I?’

Then she would say that she had just moved in and to please take care of her from now on.

She didn’t have rice cakes, but there were apples in the kitchen….

“Astie. You can’t go over.”

But then.

As if reading Tie’s mind, Lucalion’s voice was heard.

When she turned her head, Lucalion was standing there with Ppupppu perched on his shoulder.

Tie spoke hesitantly.

“But wouldn’t it be polite to greet the Neighboring House…?”

“Who greets their neighbors by climbing over the fence?”

“Then, what if we go outside and use the front gate?”

“Don’t you remember what your Unit Members said?”

Tie’s eyes drooped sullenly.

“They said I can’t go outside the fence…”

“That’s right.”

Lucalion took Tie’s hand.

“Let’s go back. It seems like your Unit Members are awake.”

Tie reluctantly began walking toward the Manor.

But her eyes kept turning toward the Neighboring House, and she let out a sigh.

Lucalion looked back at Tie and said.

“That house is empty anyway.”

“Huh?”

Lucalion pointed at the Neighboring House with his other hand.

“Look, the 2nd Floor window is open.”

“Huh? It really is?”

Indeed, the 2nd Floor window of the Neighboring House was slightly open.

Every time the wind blew, the old window frame made tapping sounds as it closed and opened.

“It’s been like that since yesterday. If people lived there, they wouldn’t leave it like that.”

Tie’s mouth fell open.

Come to think of it. The Neighboring House’s Garden was indeed different from Tie’s house Garden.

Overgrown grass. Weeds growing even more wildly on top of it.

Even the stone path had moss growing on it, as if it hadn’t been used for a long time…

“Let’s go.”

Lucalion gently pulled Tie’s hand.

Tie had no choice but to follow Lucalion.

‘I wonder who lives there?’

Why would they leave such a nice house empty?

Out of curiosity, her head naturally tilted as she looked back.

After having a simple breakfast.

“Tie, are you ready?”

Basto, who called for Tie from the 1st Floor, immediately widened his eyes.

Coming down the Stairs, Tie was hopping along while holding Marshal’s hand tightly.

“Crazy…”

Veil, who had been sprawled on the sofa, jumped up after seeing Tie’s hair.

It was because the child’s twin braids were intricately woven like works of art.

“I, I thought Basto was really good at braiding all this time.”

Whatever else, it was certain that Marshal’s skill in braiding hair was extraordinary.

The surprising part didn’t end there.

“Ch, Child. Your outfit is also really… really something?”

This morning.

Tie was literally dressed in a bizarre outfit.

She had put on a sleeveless top over a red long-sleeved shirt, and then a children’s dress on top of that.

She had clearly gotten excited and dressed herself last night, then slept and woke up like that.

But now,

“Marshal auntie did it for me!”

A cute dress made of beige fabric with abundant light green frills.

Even white stockings that clung to her legs.

The shoes were bright pink, which clashed a bit, but…

“Danzu said it absolutely had to be these.”

At Marshal’s troubled voice, Veil just accepted it.

Then Tie, who had been smiling alone, pointed somewhere.

“Then auntie, Tie will put on the unit uniform now!”

Veil stared at Tie in bewilderment.

“You got all dressed up like this just to cover it all up with the unit uniform?”

Tie tilted her head.

“Huh? Tanifang is in the unit uniform, so of course.”
