A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 118

“Basto Hammer. Do you know who pooped on my head?”

Compensation Office, Mastone byproduct compensation counter.

Tie, sitting in the waiting area, whispered into Basto’s ear.

“That Paladin Hammer from earlier, it’s just like ‘who pooped on my head’, right?”

“What’s that?”

“It’s a fairy tale book where a mole goes on an adventure to find out who pooped on his head.”

“I see. So who was the culprit.”

“Actually…”

For some reason, Tie closed her mouth.

Tie glanced around for no particular reason and asked.

“Hammer, is it okay if you get spoiled?”

“Spoiled?”

“If I tell you who pooped, it’s a spoiler.”

“Then is that bad?”

“I guess so?”

“Then it’s fine. I don’t need to hear it.”

Tie nodded as if she expected that.

“Okay.”

The child quietly stared straight ahead again.

Inside the Compensation Office.

They were currently the only ones waiting to settle monster cores.

‘There aren’t many customers either. We have to wait really, really long…?’

“There’s no mix coffee or Bacchus either.”

Tie smacked her lips by herself.

Usually places like this should have mix coffee vending machines that give out free sweet milk.

Just as the bored Tie started swinging her legs that didn’t reach the floor.

“…Agabelt?”

The door inside the counter opened and an unfamiliar man rushed out.

“That’s us.”

When Basto raised his hand, the man hurriedly went around the counter and stood before them.

Then he looked at Tie and said.

“Then you’re the Sorcerer King?”

Tie glanced at Basto and lifted her chin slightly.

“That’s right.”

The man’s eyes widened instantly.

He turned his gaze to look at the mountain of core sacks piled next to the waiting area and…

“F-first, please come inside!”

He guided Basto and Tie into the room inside the counter.

‘It’s like a bank!’

Tie, who entered inside the office, looked around with a curious face.

When she went to the bank with Grandmother, she would sometimes see people being guided inside like this.

But now that person was Tie…!

“Ehehe.”

Tie, who was laughing, quickly held her breath.

That was because right in front of her eyes, office staff were counting the monster cores that Agabelt had brought one by one.

“So you’re saying all of this came from the byproducts of that maritime Mastone in Pearl City?”

“That’s right.”

“There must have been quite a few monsters you’d never seen before?”

At Ornel’s question, who introduced himself as the Central Branch director, the hollow-eyed woman standing beside nodded.

“Yes. There are some that the scanner can’t read right now…”

She had been scanning the cores with a strangely shaped magic device in her hand, making beep- beep- sounds.

“Since they’re monsters from maritime Mastone, that makes sense. Bring another sack over.”

The staff member withdrew.

Tie imitated Basto’s way of speaking with a proud expression.

“There was something like a special octopus there too.”

“Octopus?”

“Yeah. A big octopus with really long legs and tons of suction cups!”

She was talking about the monster that had split Cal’s ship in two at Pearl City.

But Ornel’s face immediately filled with tension.

“H-how did you deal with that?”

Tie tilted her head.

How did she deal with it?

“Um, I had my subordinates do it?”

But it was the truth. At that time, Tie had only commanded the spirits that awakened from the Abyss.

Tie asked them to help save the Magistrate’s sons and Unit Members.

After that, Grimnir, who was the intermediate leader of the spirits, took care of everything.

‘I wonder how Grimnir is doing?’

Come to think of it, she hadn’t seen Grimnir once since leaving Pearl City.

Would she have to go somewhere with the Sea to meet him again?

She was pondering when.

“F-first. Excluding what the scanner missed, and including what happened recently in the Weapons District, the compensation roughly comes to…”

Ornel scribbled something on paper.

Soon a document was pushed toward Basto and Tie.

Tie slowly read the number written on top. How many zeros are there in total?

One, two, three…

“9,000 gold?”

Ornel looked troubled as he glanced at the door where staff member Remi had left.

“That’s what it is for now. You’ll probably be able to receive a bit more when we add up all the monsters that the scanner couldn’t read. About 6,000 gold more…?”

Tie closed her mouth.

So that means 15,000 gold in total?

But 1 gold is 10,000 won in Korean money?

Then one, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand…

Seeing Tie’s face go blank from calculating, Ornel became restless.

“I-it won’t take that long. We just need to register the newly discovered maritime monsters in the computer system! A week at most?”

“…”

“G-goodness! Alright. I’ll proceed as quickly as possible. Of course, we’ll pay out the settled 9,000 gold today…”

But at this moment, nothing was getting through to Tie’s ears.

‘9,000 gold today? So, 90 million won?’

And they’re saying they’ll give her another 60 million won in a week.

She remembered the old fried chicken truck that used to come in front of her house.

When she bought two chickens there with Father, that was 10,000 won.

But that’s 9,000 of those.

Then 6,000 more after that…

Tie stared blankly at the desk in a daze.

Suddenly she remembered what Nordics Grandfather had said.

Those words about Tie awakening tremendous magical power and whatnot.

Actually, Tie hadn’t thought much of it until now.

It was because he had no awareness whatsoever that he had done something.

That was understandable since Tie summoning skeletons and handling spirits was just…

‘It wasn’t really any different from asking friends to come play together, was it?’

Even manifesting Stasia in Kaldenbain-Ridge had been the same.

Back then, Stasia had kept sending wistful looks toward Tie.

As if she wanted to talk with Adelin.

So Tie had simply opened wide the outlet of mana that was gushing out from within his body.

‘Like getting water from a water dispenser…’

The mana released from his body varied in amount depending on how Tie controlled it.

If he controlled his strength like when opening a yogurt lid, just a little bit.

If he pressed the tap hard like when getting water from the preschool water dispenser, it would gush out.

But by doing that, now Tie was,

“First, 9,000 gold.”

Several sacks packed full of gold coins were placed right in front of him.

‘I earned this?’

Tie stared blankly at the sacks.

“I’ll send someone with the 6,000 gold as soon as it’s ready. You said you established a base on Rosewerbel Street, correct?”

Basto nodded.

“That’s right.”

“Then that means there are now two mercenary group bases on Rosewerbel Street.”

Basto’s brow furrowed.

“Two? Who else is there besides us?”

Ornel looked at Basto as if asking whether he didn’t know.

“Trevaga. They boldly established a base on a street that only had nobles’ townhouses, causing quite a commotion for a while… Wait. Did you say Rosewerbel 89 earlier?”

Tie looked at Basto in confusion.

Meanwhile, Ornel added,

“That’s right, number 89! Then you’ll be using the building next to Trevaga! See here, it shows that Trevaga’s base address is 90 Rosewerbel Street?”

Soon both Basto and Tie’s expressions became blank.

“90 million won… Trevaga…”

Having left the Compensation Office, Tie sat on the cart Basto was pushing and muttered to himself.

Just before leaving.

He had completely forgotten what Ornel had told him about ‘Agabert’s ranking going up again.’

‘Tie earned 90 million won.’

And in a week, he would earn another 60 million won!

Of course, Tie and Agabert were already rich thanks to the jewels the skeleton friends had brought.

But officially receiving money similar to a salary felt strangely different.

And the second thing was,

‘The neighboring house belongs to the top mercenary group that copied Tie’s name…’

He recalled the rattling window of the neighboring house.

They said it was currently an empty building, but what if those Trevaga people returned?

‘How dare you flip our top mercenary group’s name to make your mercenary group’s name? Pay rent for the name.’

The image of Trevaga’s leader, whoever they were, was somehow drawn evilly in his mind.

It was when the dejected Tie unconsciously let out a sigh.

“There were casualties in the Northwestern Border Region?”

A quite serious voice could be heard from up ahead.

When he raised his head, two men were standing in front of an enormously large mansion at the end of the street.

At the same time, the cart stopped in place with a rattling sound for some reason.
