A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 140
“What’s your name?”
At Tie’s question, the wooden doll answered energetically.
[It’s Marbas!]
“I’m Tie!”
Tie extended one hand.
Marbas hesitated, then bounced forward and lightly bumped his head against Tie’s hand before retreating.
Tie watched this curiously and asked.
“But hey, Maruru, are you really a spirit?”
[I’m not Maruru, I’m Mar…]
The wooden doll glanced nervously at Lucalion and Ppupppu.
Then hurriedly answered.
[Y-yes, Maruru is correct! And from today on, I’m not a spirit but my master’s servant! From now on, I’ll serve diligently without any compensation!]
Ppupppu smiled contentedly at his disciplined appearance.
Then, as if pleased, he struck the ground with his trunk – thud, thud.
Tie approached Marbas.
“Got it! But Maruru, why were you trapped in there?”
Marbas lowered his lion head and let out a deep sigh.
[That’s because I was sealed when the Iburanis Dynasty fell…]
“Iburami Dynasty?”
“It’s the Iburanis Dynasty, Tie.”
Nordics approached.
Nordics sat beside Tie and looked at Marbas with curious eyes.
“Iburanis was an ancient dynasty. They were once among the most prosperous in the world. According to records, they handled both magic and mechanical engineering. That’s why nowadays…”
Nordics looked at Marbas with gleaming eyes.
“There are even theories that their wisdom actually came from something non-human.”
“Non-human…?”
Tie’s gaze turned back to Marbas.
The child asked with a curious voice.
“Maruru, did you give wisdom to the Iburami Dynasty? Is that why you were sealed?”
Marbas let out a deep sigh.
Then spoke with an uncertain voice.
[Actually, I don’t remember very well…]
Before the conqueror sealed Marbas in the wooden doll.
As Tie said, he had been maintaining contracts with the dynasty’s members for generations.
The reason was to share knowledge.
[It’s probably correct. All the technologies the Iburanis Dynasty possessed were created by me.]
When Marbas provided blueprints to the dynasty, the people of Iburanis praised him like a god.
Marbas enjoyed receiving that praise.
But one day, a problem suddenly arose.
‘The Iburanis Dynasty began oppressing other surrounding kingdoms.’
They started creating weapons with the technology they obtained from Marbas.
Human greed truly had no end, and the dynasty waged indiscriminate wars of conquest.
In the process, countless lives were lost.
Even Marbas, who initially thought nothing of it, realized by then that something was wrong.
But while he was pondering how to resolve the situation.
‘Someone came and reduced the dynasty to ash and sealed me in a wooden doll.’
So much time had passed since then that the current Marbas had forgotten all his previous memories.
He couldn’t even remember who had sealed him.
‘Was it a human? No, it might not have been human… was it a dragon?’
Marbas looked down at his body as if frustrated.
A wooden doll without arms or legs.
A curved torso that seemed to belong to a human woman and a roughly carved lion head.
Without realizing it, a resentful mutter escaped him.
[…It’s unfair. They even trapped me in a female body…!]
Hearing this, Tie opened her mouth wide and exclaimed.
“Maruru, you were male!”
Marbas wiped away tears from his eyes in his heart.
Since the doll had no arms, he couldn’t actually do so.
Just then, his eyes met with Ppupppu’s.
“Kyu.”
At the look that seemed to ask ‘what are you looking at,’ Marbas quickly lowered his eyes.
For some reason, whenever he saw that elephant, his heart fluttered as if he’d eaten something wrong.
‘Did I have some bad relationship with that guy in my forgotten past?’
Could that elephant be the one who sealed the dynasty and trapped him in the doll?!
But Marbas shook his head.
His memories were already incomplete, and he didn’t want to add delusions on top of that.
“Then Maruru, since you’re Tie’s subordinate now, you’ll play with Tie, right?”
Marbas raised his head.
Right in front of him, his benefactor who had awakened him was sparkling her green eyes.
[T-that’s right.]
His benefactor, strangely enough, already had an extraordinary elephant and young dragon by her side.
To command two beings with such extraordinary auras like subordinates.
‘Indeed, she’s strong.’
In reality, Marbas’s seal could never be broken easily.
It wouldn’t break without a power superior to the sealer’s magic.
After pondering, Marbas nodded inwardly.
‘Right. Let’s side with her.’
Though the seal was broken, Marbas still couldn’t return to his original form.
Having been sealed for too long, it seemed he needed time to reconstruct his body.
‘With magic power capable of breaking the seal, just being nearby might help.’
Having finished assessing the situation, he bounced in front of Tie.
[If there’s anything you want to create, strengthen, or restore, please show it to me!]
Tie tilted her head.
Marbas continued confidently.
[I may look like this, but from flying airships to siege weapons to self-repairing armor! There was nothing I couldn’t make!]
Tie fell into deep thought.
Then, as if remembering something, she quickly ran somewhere.
What Tie brought back was a single piece of Idongchin from the cart.
“Then Maruru! Make one million twenty-two of these!”
The unit members’ eyes widened.
But Marbas confidently positioned himself in front of the Idongchin Tie had placed down.
[Of course! Just leave it to me!]
Then golden energy gathered in Marbas’s two eyes.
The energy grew to the size of Tie’s fingernail, then shot toward the Idongchin with a pop sound.
However.
“What? Did you do it?”
As Tie said, that power reached the edge of the Idongchin and disappeared like a mirage.
[Uh, uhh.]
Marbas frantically bounced around the Idongchin.
‘Why isn’t this working?’
Strange.
The blueprint in his head was definitely accurate.
He hurriedly recalled the blueprint again.
[I must have made a mistake since it’s been so long! I’ll try once more!]
He gathered his power again. However,
Crackle crackle…
“Child. That spirit we met before, the one who gave the Sacred Relic of Oblivion.”
“Yes! Princess Seraldin Spirit!”
“Was that spirit also a bit lacking like this one?”
“No way? She was super pretty!”
Marbas trembled his shoulders.
[Ugh, I really can do this!]
Flash- crackle crackle crackle…
Flash- crackle crackle crackle crackle crackle…
However, even after trying three, four times, the result was the same.
Marbas collapsed with a thud, overwhelmed by shock.
His wooden doll body rolled across the floor with a tumble.
‘This can’t be.’
During his prime.
Idongchin was basic of basics for him.
Marbas was someone skilled in both mechanical engineering and magic, with no blueprint in the world he couldn’t create!
He struggled to get back up.
And gathering his last bit of strength, he fired it toward the Idongchin.
Bang-!
Finally, one similarly-looking Idongchin was copied next to the original.
Marbas jumped high in excitement.
[L-look! Doesn’t it work! It’s only one for now, but I succeeded in copying the Idongchin…!]
However, he soon closed his mouth.
“Selina, what is this?”
“I don’t know. It seems like music comes out when you open it. Father brought it from some island…”
It was because no one was looking at him anymore.
Evening after finishing the meal.
“Now, let’s start the meeting!”
Tie, who had been sitting with Veil and Basto on either side, jumped down from the sofa.
The child walked briskly to the table and placed her hand on top of the pile of Idongchin.
And mimicking the speech pattern of preschool Teacher Isolje, she said.
“Everyone from Agabert! Starting tomorrow, we’re going to siege Mastone!”
