A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 125

 

“He said the hair color was black, so this isn’t it.”

 

Inside the Grand Council Chamber filled only with the sound of turning pages.

 

Veil, who was leaning over toward the desk, muttered.

 

“Not this one, not this one either… Geez, humans sure come in all varieties.”

 

The unit members were systematically dividing up portions to search through the organizational charts.

 

“What should we do about ones where it’s ambiguous whether it’s brown or black?”

 

“Put this in there.”

 

Veil handed Raul a thin thread.

 

He was inserting threads into the relevant pages whenever a person suspected to be Tie’s father was found.

 

When the review of one volume was finished, Veil pushed it over to Tie.

 

“Child. Check this.”

 

Tie pushed aside the materials she had been looking at.

 

Then she carefully checked each marked section in the materials Veil had passed over.

 

“He’s not here…”

 

Her eyebrows drooped down.

 

Veil hurriedly responded.

 

“Th-that’s Western Continent data! Your father is in the Empire, right.”

 

Tie nodded her head.

 

“I was just checking just in case, so you keep looking through the Empire ones.”

 

“Mm-hmm…”

 

Tie pulled the materials she had been looking at back in front of her.

 

According to the butler, all the Paladins of the Talochium Empire were in this first volume and the second and third volumes.

 

The child who was listlessly turning pages muttered weakly.

 

“Tie can really find Father, right…?”

 

The unit members who were searching through materials hesitantly stared at Tie.

 

Tie had checked about half of the first volume until her eyes were ready to fall out.

 

But not even a speck of information about her father had appeared.

 

“What if we look through all three volumes and Father still isn’t there…?”

 

“Don’t be ridiculous. We’ll definitely be able to find him.”

 

“That’s right, Danzu! The portraits of the knights are so realistic too. You’ll be able to recognize your father right away.”

 

Enzo pointed to the drawings in the materials.

 

As he said, the portraits in the materials were incredibly realistic.

 

If her father was really in here, there was no way Tie wouldn’t recognize him.

 

“…Yes! Fighting!”

 

Tie, who had pulled herself together again, shouted.

 

Only then did the unit members’ expressions brighten even faintly.

 

When they finished reviewing the first volume, it was late at night.

 

“Excuse me.”

 

Someone who knocked briefly opened the door to the Grand Council Chamber and entered.

 

Tie wearily got up.

 

“Carriage Hammer?”

 

“Commander, no, Miss Tie.”

 

Alexander looked at Tie and asked warmly.

 

“How is it going? Have you found your father?”

 

When Tie’s eyebrows drooped to both sides, Basto carefully answered instead.

 

“Not yet.”

 

Alexander made an “Ah…” sound and stared at Tie.

 

In front of Tie was the first volume of the complete organizational chart that had just been closed.

 

Alexander comforted the child.

 

“Don’t be too disheartened. He’ll definitely appear in the remaining materials.”

 

Tie nodded her head weakly.

 

Then Alexander, who looked around at the other unit members, said.

 

“More than that, isn’t it getting too late today?”

 

He was looking at Tie, who clearly showed signs of exhaustion, with a worried expression.

 

“Father has prepared rooms for you to stay in separately. Since it’s late, how about resting today and continuing the review tomorrow.”

 

Veil exchanged glances with Basto.

 

It was because he suddenly remembered what the Commander King had said at the dinner table.

 

‘It’s fine if it takes several days.’

 

Those words saying that since the organizational charts were extensive, they could take several days to check them without worry.

 

But who knew that meant they would let them stay at the manor.

 

“Of course, I know your own home would be most comfortable for sleeping. But as I mentioned, this act itself carries quite a risk for us too.”

 

In other words, if Agabert kept coming and going to the Luminen Estate every morning and evening, someone might see.

 

The problem was that if word spread that outsiders were reviewing the Empire’s confidential documents…

 

“Wouldn’t it be troublesome for both of us, being in the same boat?”

 

Nordics nodded his head.

 

“That’s right. We’ll stay here tonight.”

 

He gestured toward Tie, who was sprawled in her chair like jelly.

 

“Astie seems very tired too.”

 

Alexander smiled politely.

 

“Very well. Then I’ll guide you to the bedrooms.”

 

It was when he was about to turn around after giving the unit members a look to follow him.

 

“Carriage Hammer…”

 

A crawling voice was heard from behind.

 

When he turned his head, Tie was looking at Alexander with a dejected face.

 

“Hammer, please hug Tie.”

 

The flustered Alexander froze in place.

 

The unit members also stared back and forth between Tie and Alexander with wide eyes.

 

Tie wasn’t the type to be shy around people.

 

She would readily approach adults she was meeting for the first time, and if she had a chance to speak, she would chatter away well.

 

But this was the first time the child had asked someone she hadn’t known for long to hug her.

 

Alexander, who came to his senses, hesitantly nodded his head.

 

Then he carefully approached Tie.

 

“The amount of materials was quite extensive indeed. Looking through all of that one by one isn’t an easy task.”

 

When he awkwardly hugged Tie, the child immediately rested her cheek against Alexander’s shoulder.

 

Alexander looked around at the unit members.

 

“So now how should we…”

 

“Ah, well, please guide us to the bedrooms.”

 

At Basto’s words, Alexander nodded his head.

 

When he left the Grand Council Chamber, Veil whispered to Nordics.

 

“What’s this, old man? Why is the child acting like that?”

 

Nordics was staring at Alexander’s retreating figure with a curious expression.

 

“There’s something I’ve often thought about since before.”

 

“What?”

 

“Tie tends to look at people’s appearance somewhat.”

 

Veil frowned as if it was ridiculous.

 

But Nordics only added nonchalantly.

 

“That’s probably why when she first saw me, she followed me well, calling me grandfather, grandfather.”

 

Veil opened his mouth with an incredulous look.

 

And only after a long while did he shake his head back and forth.

 

A moment later.

 

“This is the place.”

 

The place where Alexander stopped was at the end of the wide, long corridor on the 2nd floor of the manor.

 

The members each looked up at the splendid arched ceiling with surprised faces.

 

The floor decorated with marble tiles, and even the walls carved with ornate wooden sculptures.

 

“You can each use one room. That eternal summon also has a human appearance, so we’ve prepared a separate room.”

 

Alexander’s gaze turned to Lucalion standing at the very back of the members.

 

Veil stared at Alexander.

 

“…What? How did you know that Kamang is an eternal summon?”

 

Alexander smiled.

 

“Father read it through the awakening of the holy city. He said it has the same texture of mana as Miss Tie.”

 

As if it made sense, Basto nodded his head.

 

Then he said.

 

“Thank you, then now…”

 

He extended both arms toward Alexander.

 

It meant to hand over Tie since they had arrived in front of the rooms.

 

However.

 

“Eeeeng…”

 

For some reason, Tie hugged Alexander tightly and made a pitiful crying sound.

 

“Hammer is here! Until Tie falls asleep…!”

 

Great shock spread across Basto’s face.

 

Alexander was equally flustered.

 

“Me, you mean?”

 

Instead of answering, Tie hugged Alexander’s neck even tighter.

 

In the end, Nordics, who had been watching, stepped forward again.

 

“Then could we ask you for just today? The child seems to have taken quite a liking to Commander.”

 

After a silence, Alexander nodded his head.

 

“Alright. I’ll do that.”

 

“Old man! Are you crazy?!”

 

Immediately Veil’s eyes widened.

 

Basto was equally opposed.

 

“Th-that’s right, sir. No matter what…”

 

But Nordics was calm.

 

“Tie says she likes that side better.”

 

In the end, Veil shut his mouth tight.

 

Then he stared at Alexander with a displeased expression.

 

“…Keep the door open while sleeping. Wide open, all of them!”

 

Alexander laughed as if it was nothing and nodded his head.

 

“Understood. Then, excuse me.”

 

Then without a moment’s hesitation, he carried Tie into the room.

 

The members watched that scene with expressions as if their country had been stolen.

 

Meanwhile, Tie put strength into her arms hugging Alexander and thought.

 

‘It feels like Father…’

 

From the moment she closed the first volume without any results.

 

Dark clouds had already rolled into Tie’s heart, pouring rain.

 

Tears flowed unknowingly onto Alexander’s shoulder and soaked in.

 

‘…How nice it would be if Hammer were Father.’

 

Alexander, who resembled Father in both face and way of speaking, truly felt like Father to Tie.
