A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 134
Tie came to think this way because of a past incident.
To be precise, it was something that happened the year before Father went missing.
That day, Tie had returned from preschool and was with 107 Grandmother.
But suddenly, Hammer from the big Alley Moving Center came and banged loudly on Tie’s front door.
“Kim! Come out! I know you’re inside, so come out, you damn…!”
Tie was startled by the curses Hammer spat out.
But 107 Grandmother, befitting the leader of Gold Apartment, didn’t even blink.
Instead, she leisurely went outside and faced Hammer with her hands clasped behind her back.
“What brings Kim here?”
The moving Hammer she glimpsed through the open door crack had a bright red face.
“No, how can Kim ruin all of other people’s work like this?!”
“Work?”
“The morning job delivering goods to Singsing Mart! I was originally doing it, but Kim snatched it away! That guy has no business ethics! Taking lower daily wages without consulting me – isn’t that market disruption, huh?!”
Grandmother laughed as if it was absurd.
“Well, why don’t you just lower your daily wage too?”
“Look here, elder! How much do I even make that I should lower my daily wage? And that shopping center’s sewage keeps getting blocked – I’ve been unclogging it for money per job! But Kim does it for free!”
“…”
“The small room moves in this neighborhood too! I was handling all of that, but Kim undercut the prices and stole it all! At this rate, if I starve to death! If my business fails, will Kim take responsibility, huh?”
Only then did Tie realize that Hammer’s repeated “Kim, Kim” was referring to Father.
Come to think of it, she remembered Father seeming busy day and night recently.
Meanwhile, Grandmother snorted and retorted.
“That’s what you get for messing with someone who works honestly. Tsk.”
The moving Hammer’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“What did you say?”
“You made such a big show of hiring someone with uncertain background. But when it came time to pay, what did you do, Kim? Not even half – you cut the daily wage to one-third? Is that something a human being does?”
“Ah, no, that was because I…”
“Hey, don’t look down on 106 Youth! Even when people like you backstab him all the time, he works diligently! He’s raising his daughter to be the smartest in this neighborhood!”
Grandmother never backed down to the moving Hammer.
“…Fine then, I’ll tell your wife about how you were fooling around at the pub.”
Tie didn’t understand what Grandmother’s last words meant.
But for some reason, the moving Hammer turned pale and left immediately.
And he never came to Tie’s house again.
Grandmother returned to the room and patted Tie’s back, saying.
“It’s okay, child. When people’s livelihoods are cut off, they all act like that. That one has a rotten heart, it would be good if he just starved to death… Oh my, what am I saying in front of a child.”
Tie realized that day.
When someone’s livelihood is cut off, even a cricket will jump.
So no matter how she thought about it, there was only one way to make Father come find Tie directly.
‘Tie will cut off Father’s livelihood!’
Even if not exactly cutting off his livelihood, it would be enough if Tie just did better than Father’s mercenary group.
After learning Father’s identity, there were several clues that came to mind belatedly.
‘Daughter, isn’t Father cool? Isn’t he cool? I was the number one Paladin?’
‘Mm-hmm, cool.’
‘What kind of reaction is that~ Tell me sincerely that I did well. That Father is the best.’
‘Mm-hmm, Father is the best! But, does Father like being number one?’
‘…Well? Rather than liking it, I could only feel at ease by doing that, back then.’
‘At ease?’
‘Yeah, it was a difficult time when I had to focus on some goal or it would be hard. I had so many stray thoughts.’
She didn’t know then, but now Tie could understand.
‘Father was going through his rebellious phase then!’
So even though he lied about his job, what he said about aiming for first place must be true.
Tie looked at the unit members with confident eyes.
“Tomorrow Tie will buy lots of Idongchin and siege Mastone really really really fast! Super fast!”
Then she raised both hands by herself and shouted energetically.
“Until Agabert becomes number one, fighting!”
The next day.
All members of Agabert were forced to wake up at 6 AM.
It was because Tie, who woke up at the crack of dawn, dressed herself properly and opened Ppupppu’s subspace.
“Kamang! This too!”
Lucalion was waving his hands swish, swish according to Tie’s command.
Each time, sacks filled with gold coins flew through the air and were neatly loaded into the cart.
“Child. What is all this?”
When Veil, still half-asleep, asked, Tie shrugged her shoulders.
“I told you yesterday. Tie is going to buy Idongchin.”
“Where is this Idongchin?”
“It’s at Selina’s House!”
At those words, Raul and Enzo, who were coming down the stairs, stopped.
Nordics, who had no morning sleepiness and was reading a book in the kitchen early, also appeared.
Regardless, Tie continued innocently.
“Selina’s Mother and Father sell lots of Idongchin, so there’s tons in the basement! They said I can take it if I just pay money. Friend sale!”
“What’s a sale? More importantly, wait. You’re saying you’re going to the Front Mansion now?”
“Yeah! It’s time for Selina to wake up now, so hurry!”
Veil looked around at the unit members with a troubled expression.
“No, even so…”
“Let’s go!”
But meanwhile, Tie had already opened the front door wide and was going outside.
Lucalion followed behind Tie, pulling the large cart.
“…Trumph!”
Ppupppu stood proudly at the very front of the cart, swinging his trunk around.
Basto, who was watching this scene, quickly stepped forward.
“Veil. You go with her.”
“What?”
“We can’t let the child go alone, but if I, Raul, or Enzo follow, it might raise suspicion. You’re the best option, so go with her.”
Basto threw a coat to Veil.
Veil frowned but caught the coat and went outside.
Tie and Lucalion were already leaving through the gate.
After crossing the quiet road and arriving on the opposite side, Tie pulled the bell without any hesitation.
A little later.
“…Who is it?”
A woman who came across the garden looked down at Tie through the gate bars as if asking what this was about.
Tie first gave a bow and then said.
“Hello, I’m Selina’s friend, and I came to see Selina!”
“…You’re the young lady’s friend?”
“Yes!”
The woman furrowed her brow.
She looked once at Veil and Lucalion behind Tie, then.
“…Come in.”
He reluctantly opened the gate.
Tie crossed the garden with lively steps alongside Ppupppu.
As the front door opened, Selina could be seen standing in the 1st floor hall wearing pajamas.
“Selina!”
“Tie?”
Selina looked around in surprise.
Then she looked at Lucalion behind Tie, and gazed with curious eyes at the cart Tie had brought along.
“What brings you here so early in the morning…”
That’s when it happened.
“Ah, how bothersome! Suddenly saying she wants to eat breakfast! She’ll just eat whatever and leave anyway. Really, she has no childlike qualities and is as cunning as an old person…”
Someone coming up the stairs saw Tie’s group and stopped in place.
“…Ah.”
Then he closed his mouth and quickly went back downstairs, pretending he hadn’t seen anything.
Tie stared at that sight before turning her head.
Selina’s face looked completely drained of energy for some reason.
She seemed to have just woken up, but her hair was tightly tied up as usual today, and her clenched fists were strangely pale.
