A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 139

 

“Tie gets to take all of this too.”

 

Selina unpacked something she had brought bundled up and laid it out in front of the sofa.

 

Inside the large cloth were toys, accessories, jewels, and all sorts of objects of unknown purpose packed together.

 

Tie stared at Selina in surprise.

 

Just before leaving Belmore Estate.

 

‘Wait a moment! I have something to bring.’

 

Selina had been packing her pajamas when she suddenly said she had something to bring and ran to the storage room.

 

Then she returned after quite a while.

 

She was struggling to carry a sack that looked ready to burst, from who knows where.

 

‘Wow, back then I thought Selina was just bringing toys.’

 

The items in the sack weren’t just toys.

 

“You said Tie is a mercenary, right? So I thought you might like treasures like these.”

 

Curiosity sparked in Tie’s eyes at the mention of treasures.

 

“Treasures?”

 

Selina nodded.

 

“Like I mentioned earlier, my mom and dad travel on business trips across the continent. Sometimes they get their hands on items like these, and if something was valuable, they wouldn’t sell it and gave it to me as a gift.”

 

“Isn’t this a fragment of Keilak’s stone tablet?”

 

Raul, who had been looking around, stepped forward.

 

He picked up one of the items while examining the miscellaneous objects with curiosity.

 

It was a stone tablet about the size of a child’s palm with unknown characters carved into it.

 

“To think Lady Selina had a fragment of Keilak’s stone tablet. The Waverill Marquis family has one piece too!”

 

Tie looked back and forth between Raul and Selina with puzzled eyes.

 

‘Real treasures…?’

 

But that wasn’t the end of it.

 

“Oh ho, there’s even a silver coin from the first Eastern Empire!”

 

“Sir, please take a look at this. Which royal family’s seal is this? It looks like a fallen royal house. Judging by the runic script, is it from the northern continent?”

 

“It’s the Ibrannis Dynasty. There’s a laurel wreath drawn on the upper part of the seal. When it later continued as the Ascalian Dynasty, the laurel wreath disappeared.”

 

The unit members all gathered around and began examining the items.

 

Even Marshal’s eyes lit up as she looked at rolled-up parchments and small decorative items.

 

“These items here would be perfect for decorating the 2nd floor corridor. I was just thinking the manor felt a bit empty…”

 

Tie hurriedly ran to Selina.

 

“Selina, can Tie really take all of this?”

 

Selina nodded as if there was no problem.

 

“They’re just things that pile up in the storage room every day anyway.”

 

Then she gestured somewhere and added.

 

“More than that, those two seem to like the wooden statue.”

 

When she turned her head, indeed Lucalion and Ppupppu were looking at a small wooden statue of unusual shape with interested eyes.

 

Tie tilted her head.

 

‘Does Lucalion like that treasure?’

 

Until now, Lucalion had rarely shown interest in anything other than books and Tie.

 

Curious, Tie quietly went over to Lucalion and Ppupppu’s side.

 

“Kamang, Ppupppu. What are you looking at?”

 

“Tie.”

 

As if he hadn’t noticed her presence at all, Lucalion, who had been concentrating, looked up.

 

Then he held out the wooden statue in front of Tie and said.

 

“I think we need to take a look at this.”

 

The wooden statue Lucalion held out had an unusual shape with a woman’s body and a lion’s head.

 

“Can you handle mana by any chance?”

 

Tie’s eyes widened at the unexpected question.

 

But the child quickly answered energetically.

 

“Yes, I can. But why?”

 

“Kyu, kurut. Kyu!”

 

Tie’s lips parted in a “heh-“.

 

“A seal?”

 

Selina and the unit members gathered around Tie.

 

“A seal? What are you talking about, child?”

 

Tie looked at Veil with a puzzled face.

 

“Ppupppu says something is sealed in this wooden doll!”

 

“A seal?”

 

Veil immediately took the wooden statue and turned it this way and that.

 

“It just looks like a piece of wood to me?”

 

“Of course it would look that way to you, since you have no magical talent whatsoever.”

 

Lucalion replied in a cynical voice.

 

Then he took the wooden statue from Veil’s hands and placed it back in Tie’s hands.

 

“It’s a simple seal. It can be released by injecting mana more powerful than the sealer’s mana. Give it a try.”

 

Tie looked at the wooden statue with curious eyes, then hesitated and asked.

 

“But what if something bad comes out from inside?”

 

“Kyurung! Kyuu!”

 

Ppupppu spun his trunk around while chattering something to Tie.

 

Tie tilted her head.

 

“A spirit…?”

 

Lucalion also chimed in.

 

“For once, that guy is right. Judging by the aura I can feel, it’s clean.”

 

Finally, Tie nodded.

 

The child gripped the wooden doll tightly, closed both eyes, then

 

“Nnngh…”

 

Pursed her lips as much as possible and tensed her body.

 

“Pfft!”

 

At that sight, Veil spat out the water he was drinking.

 

Basto and Nordics looked at Tie as if she was cute.

 

But even as time passed, there was no particular change.

 

“Nnnnncha-ha… nnngh?”

 

Finally, Tie, who had been straining, exhaled the breath she had been holding and opened her eyes.

 

Then she was slightly flustered.

 

Diagonally across from her, Selina was watching her with an expectant face.

 

‘This is bad. Selina is watching too, so why won’t my mana come out…?’

 

Tie looked down at the doll anxiously.

 

Then she tensed her body again.

 

“Heuiyap!”

 

“Pf, puhahaha! Child, what are you doing?!”

 

But the mana wouldn’t operate, and there was no movement from the wooden doll.

 

Tie looked around at the unit members restlessly.

 

“I forgot how to do it!”

 

Basto, who had been laughing, approached.

 

He sat on the floor and then seated Tie on his lap.

 

“It’s okay, Tie. You’ve done well all this time even though you’ve never properly learned how to handle mana.”

 

Basto patted Tie’s dejected head.

 

“Don’t be nervous. It’s okay if it doesn’t work well. Just try doing it like you usually do, there’s no rush.”

 

Tie had no choice but to nod.

 

And she tried to recall the hazy sensation of how she had been operating mana all this time.

 

‘…It’s there!’

 

Indeed.

 

As Basto said, when she took deep breaths calmly, she could feel the mana inside her body.

 

Tie closed her eyes tightly and recalled the sensation she had experienced every time she used mana.

 

What she had done when summoning her bone friends.

 

That power she had used when summoning the Shipwreck and giving commands to her subordinates.

 

The mana felt near her heart pulsed greatly and spread throughout her entire body.

 

And,

 

Clatter-

 

The lion head of the wooden doll she was holding spun around once to face Tie.

 

“Huh?”

 

When Tie looked down with bewildered eyes, golden light flashed from the doll’s two eyes.

 

“The doll is…!”

 

The next moment, the doll slipped out of Tie’s hands and landed on the floor.

 

Then a heavy voice echoed throughout the manor.

 

[One who has crossed the river of silence and touched my soul. Why have you come so late?]

 

Tie frowned at the light emanating from the doll’s eyes.

 

Meanwhile, the doll bounced forward to stand in front of Tie.

 

[What is the reason you have awakened me? Without speaking it, you cannot take a single step forward. What is it that you truly desire?]

 

Tie looked at the doll with a confused face.

 

And she thought.

 

‘Tie doesn’t understand what it’s saying at all…!’

 

The doll’s words were too difficult for her to comprehend at all.

 

Regardless, the doll simply continued speaking.

 

[I am the beginning and end of the Ibrannis Dynasty. A being who witnessed with these two eyes the birth and destruction of a nation. Though the dynasty has already disappeared and become ash, I still remain in this place. Now speak your wish. I shall fulfill one of your desires….]

 

“…For someone who was saved, you have quite a long tongue.”

 

Just then, something suddenly kicked the wooden doll with its foot.

 

When she turned her head, Ppupppu in human form, whom she had seen at Kaldenbain-Ridge, had appeared.

 

Silver hair fluttered in the air, and a displeased voice flowed from beneath the elephant mask.

 

“How dare you elevate yourself in front of whom? Mother finds you dazzling, so extinguish the fire from your eyes immediately.”

 

The doll that had rolled away from Ppupppu’s kick looked back and forth between Ppupppu and Tie.

 

Then there was a moment of silence.

 

“…Huh? It really turned off!”

 

Just as Tie said, the light that had been shining from the doll’s eyes timidly went out.
