A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 127

 

Tie looked shyly at Alexander who had spread both arms toward her.

 

“Tie can walk too though…”

 

But Alexander chuckled softly and lifted Tie up, placing her on one shoulder.

 

“Waah-!”

 

Giggles burst from Tie’s mouth at the elevated view.

 

Seeing the child stretch her arms toward the ceiling, Alexander said playfully.

 

“Not crying when you fell last time and all. Miss Tie, you’re very brave. Aren’t you scared of being up high?”

 

Tie shook her head while ducking down so Alexander could exit into the corridor.

 

“Not at all! When Uncle Basto gives me piggyback rides, it’s high enough to reach the trees, and Tie finds it super fun!”

 

Then Alexander made an “ah” sound.

 

“Are you talking about that wild bear-like unit member?”

 

“Wild bear? Uhahahang!”

 

Tie giggled again.

 

In the child’s mind, the image of Basto wearing a bear mask and making “Grroar!” sounds was blooming like clouds.

 

Then Alexander spoke with a dejected voice.

 

“That unit member was incredibly tall. Compared to him, my piggyback rides must be terrible. Too low.”

 

Tie startled and quickly lowered her head.

 

“No… Uwah!”

 

But this caused her center of gravity to collapse and her upper body tilted forward.

 

Even so, Alexander calmly flipped Tie around and held her properly in front.

 

“No?”

 

At Alexander’s questioning look, Tie, who had unconsciously gripped his shoulders tightly, shook her head vigorously.

 

“Yes! It’s not like that! Tie finds Uncle Carriage’s piggyback rides way way more fun! More fun than Uncle Basto’s!”

 

At that moment, a “Pfft!” sound came from behind.

 

When they turned around, Basto was walking with the unit members from behind with a completely dead expression.

 

“Basto, what are you going to do now? The kid completely fell for someone she’s only known for one day.”

 

At Veil’s teasing, Basto replied coldly.

 

“What are you saying. You got abandoned just the same.”

 

“What, abandoned?!”

 

At the sound of the two bickering, Tie sneakily glanced at Alexander.

 

But Alexander only smiled gently at Tie.

 

“Then that’s fortunate. If Miss Tie wants, I could carry you to the banquet hall every morning.”

 

“Really…?”

 

“Of course. It looks like checking the documents will take at least a few more days. How about it, shall I escort you to the banquet hall every morning from now on?”

 

Tie’s face, who had kept her mouth tightly shut, turned red.

 

“Then…”

 

It was when the hesitating child finally nodded shyly.

 

“Well, who do we have here. If it isn’t the Commander King child?”

 

In front of the banquet hall.

 

Someone who was just about to enter stopped at the door.

 

The one waving brightly was Edmund with disheveled hair in pajamas.

 

Tie bowed deeply while still in Alexander’s arms, giving a belly bow.

 

“Rich Lantern Uncle, did you sleep well?”

 

However, Edmund shook his head playfully.

 

“Unfortunately, I didn’t sleep well. Skeletons appeared in my dreams?”

 

Tie’s eyes widened.

 

“Skeletons? Bone friends appeared in your dream?”

 

Edmund let out an exaggerated sigh.

 

“Yeah. Maybe I’m not as brave as the Commander King? When I saw the bone friends, my body kept trembling. From fear.”

 

At Edmund rubbing both arms with his hands, a beaming smile appeared on Tie’s lips.

 

The child quickly answered with a proud expression.

 

“…Ahem, Tie is four years old, but bone friends aren’t scary at all.”

 

“Really? Wow, how can you be so brave? I’m twenty-eight years old but bone friends are so scary to me. This must be why the world these days calls the Commander King a legend.”

 

“Legend…?”

 

“Yeah. I’m a really high-ranking paladin in the Central Battalion but I don’t get called a legend. So maybe I’m getting a little jealous?”

 

The child’s lips went wobbly.

 

Legend meant legendary grade, in other words.

 

“Tie has already become a legendary grade Tanifang…”

 

Tie giggled like a true strongest one and patted Alexander’s shoulder saying.

 

“Put Tie down!”

 

When Alexander put her down, Tie ran over to Edmund.

 

And in her excitement, she firmly grasped his hand.

 

“Lantern Uncle, would you like to sit next to Tie when eating?”

 

Edmund exchanged glances with Alexander with slightly surprised eyes.

 

But soon smiled warmly.

 

“Then it would be my honor. When else would I get to sit next to the Commander King if not now. Right, Alex?”

 

Alexander played along as if he’d been waiting.

 

“I’m envious, brother.”

 

Tie’s lips went wobbly once again.

 

The child unconsciously puffed up her shoulders and turned her head.

 

And announced to the unit members standing in the distance.

 

“Um, today Tie will have breakfast with Uncle Carriage and Rich Lantern Uncle!”

 

Veil made an incredulous expression.

 

“What?! Child. Aren’t you being a bit harsh since yesterday? How can you turn away from us like this?”

 

Tie sighed and shook her head back and forth.

 

“Brother Veil. This isn’t turning away, it’s business.”

 

“…What?”

 

“Didn’t you hear yesterday? The Commander said we’re all bear hats together now.”

 

Edmund pressed his lips tightly together.

 

He was struggling to hold back the laughter that was about to burst out.

 

“Bear hats means we all wear bear hats and become friends together.”

 

“Who does?”

 

“The thought in Tie’s head.”

 

“No, what the…”

 

“Look again. Tie is the boss leading Agabert. Bosses originally eat with new friends for business. To build superiority!”

 

“It would be friendship, not superiority.”

 

“…Same thing!”

 

As if giving up, Veil finally sighed.

 

He burst into laughter and answered.

 

“Fine, do whatever you want. Since you’re the leader, do as the leader pleases.”

 

Tie made a dignified expression.

 

“Yeah! I learned at preschool that you can’t have friends all to yourself. You have to know how to share and play with other friends too.”

 

After that, the child giggled and turned around.

 

When Edmund opened the door, the banquet hall with breakfast prepared revealed itself.

 

Valentis was sitting at the head seat as always, and Leonardo was eating beside him.

 

Tie grabbed Edmund’s hand and ran over with quick steps to stand in front of Valentis.

 

“Commander, did you sleep well!”

 

Valentis looked at Edmund and Alexander who came with Tie with a surprised expression.

 

However, he soon smiled and answered.

 

“Yes. I hope you slept comfortably.”

 

“Tie slept well! Tie even dreamed about going back to preschool.”

 

“Preschool? You mean the preparatory school?”

 

Tie, who had climbed onto the chair, nodded.

 

“Yes. Preschool has friends so it’s fun, but Tie can’t go anymore.”

 

Valentis put down his utensils.

 

After being lost in thought for a moment, he asked back.

 

“Because of your status?”

 

The Commander King is currently known to only appear as a child, but in reality is not actually a child.

 

With such rumors widespread, it was practically impossible for the child to freely attend preparatory school.

 

“Yes… The Mercenary said so, so there’s nothing we can do.”

 

While Tie looked dejected, a small piece of bread spread with strawberry jam was placed in front of Sire.

 

Edmund had personally spread the jam and cut it to make it easy to eat.

 

Tie put the bread in his mouth in one bite and chewed.

 

“But later, when Agavert becomes really, really big…”

 

Then he swallowed and drank some milk before continuing.

 

“Nordics Grandfather said that then Tie might be able to go back to preschool!”

 

Valentis looked at the Agavert Members.

 

And after wiping the milk stain from Tie’s mouth with a napkin, he said.

 

“That’s one way. But I think there might be a faster method than that.”

 

At those words, everyone’s attention focused on Valentis.

 

Tie stopped mid-way while picking up his second piece of bread and opened his eyes wide.

 

“Really?”

 

Valentis nodded.

 

“Inside the eastern boundary of the Old Gods, there’s a place called Flint Cove. It’s an underdeveloped area where commoners working for The Order gather to live.”

 

“Underdeveloped…?”

 

“From what I’ve learned, the region itself is quite closed off. Most of the residents are ignorant of outside news, and there’s practically no information spread about the Mercenary.”

 

While Tie tilted his head in confusion, Alexander made an “ah” sound.

 

“Now that I think about it, I remember. Every time we went out for medical support, I saw quite a few decent childcare facilities.”
