A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 142
“Marul!”
Tie ran over and picked up Marbas.
The lion head attached to the statue looked up at Tie in bewilderment.
Tie’s eyes sparkled as she spoke.
“Marul, you said you could do evolution earlier, right?”
Marbas stared at Tie with a frightened expression, then hesitantly nodded.
[It’s not evolution, it’s enhancement. I used to do it a bit in the old days…]
“Then you can evolve Idongchin too?!”
Interest flickered across the unit members’ faces.
They were curious whether the statue that had come to life thanks to Tie could really do such a thing.
Under the gathering gazes, Marbas felt his shoulders rise slightly toward the sky.
At the always thrilling attention, he was about to answer after hesitating for a moment.
“Would that even work? You couldn’t even copy a single Idongchin properly.”
Veil broke the mood.
Marbas bristled and shouted.
[I did, I did copy it! One sheet!]
“…Gasp, Marul. You did?”
Marbas made a sobbing sound and wiped away tears in his heart.
[Yes! Even though no one looked!]
He gestured toward the window in the distance.
There, one sheet of Idongchin that Marbas had copied was half-visible, having slipped under the side table.
Tie nodded her head vigorously.
“Yes! Marul is the best! Tie believes in Marul!”
Marbas hesitantly raised his head.
Then he jumped down from Tie’s palm.
[Then evolution… I’ll try it once.]
He hopped up onto the table.
Standing on top of the pile of Idongchin, red beams began shooting out from Marbas’s eyes.
“Ooh. That looks a bit more convincing than before?”
“Shut up, Veil. He may look like that, but he’s still a spirit. Don’t keep mocking him so irreverently.”
“Now that I think about it, he’s quite pathetic. If something like that is a spirit, then I must be a spirit grandfather.”
[…Grk.]
Marbas ignored Veil and Basto’s voices and concentrated.
The complex magical formula of the Idongchin began to materialize before him.
“Wo, woooow.”
While Tie marveled, Marbas enhanced the circuits.
And he infused his own abilities into each carved rune to supplement stability.
[Almost done!]
At the final moment, Marbas trembled his wooden body and squeezed out all his strength.
And finally.
“Gasp! The Idongchin really changed!”
New magical formulas were engraved along the edges of the two Idongchin sheets at the top of the pile.
Tie quickly picked up the Idongchin with its softly glowing formulas.
“Marul, this has evolved like Puppetmon now, right?”
Marbas nodded while staggering.
[Yes! Just input the coordinates and you can move to anywhere! There’s no distance limit, and I made it so it won’t be affected by waves flowing from Mastone, so you can trust it…!]
“Waah!”
Tie quickly grabbed the Idongchin and ran to Basto.
“Uncle Basto! Marul did it! Let’s use this, okay?”
But Basto didn’t answer.
Tie grabbed and shook Basto’s sleeve again.
“Let’s go to Mastone together, okay? There are two sheets, so let’s test if it really works!”
Finally, Basto nodded.
“Fine. But you stay here with the old man, Tie.”
Tie’s eyes widened.
“Why, why?”
“Like I said, it’s still the testing phase. Since we’re not sure if it’s safe yet, you wait here.”
Tie stared blankly at the unit members taking the two Idongchin sheets from her hands.
The unit members gathered in a circle a little distance away from Nordics and Tie.
“I know a place for the coordinates.”
At Basto’s words, Enzo nodded.
“A small Mastone in Briowood that hasn’t been sieged yet. 383 East Etheron… 12 South Lunaks.”
Enzo tore the Idongchin in half.
Then a bright light burst in the air.
When Tie squeezed her eyes shut and opened them again.
Basto and Veil, Raul and Enzo had completely disappeared without a trace.
“Huuuung!”
“…Don’t cry, Tie.”
Lucalion quietly comforted Tie.
But Tie couldn’t stop her tears easily.
‘Did you hear that? Marquis Mathias, they say his hand was severed.’
It was because the Idongchin accident she had heard about a few days ago wouldn’t leave her mind.
She trusted Marul, but still, what if the Idongchin evolution didn’t work properly?
So what if there was an accident and the unit members got hurt…!
“It’s Tie’s fault, because Tie said let’s test it right away today!”
“How is that your fault? Testing the enhanced Idongchin was something that had to be done eventually.”
“But…”
Lucalion gently patted Tie’s back.
Selina also silently held Tie’s hand tightly.
Marbas also stepped forward.
[Master! Don’t you trust me? I’m really confident! This body that once dominated the Ibrannis Dynasty…]
“Kyu.”
Ppupppu tapped the floor once with her trunk as if it was noisy.
Marbas quickly shut his mouth.
“Tie, are you still doing that?”
Just then, Nordics approached Tie’s side carrying two cups of warm milk with steam rising from them.
Nordics handed the milk cups to Tie and Selina, then said.
“Nothing unusual will happen. They used the Idongchin to move near a small Mastone, and everyone is carrying travel money in case something goes wrong with the operation.”
Tie nodded glumly.
Then she ran to Nordics and hugged him.
Nordics smiled and familiarly embraced Tie, gently patting her back.
“Nothing in life is easy, is it?”
“Yes…”
Though she had never said it, Tie had been learning many new things since coming to this world.
Starting with the fact that choices come with responsibility.
The point that sometimes you must take risks to gain benefits.
And the point that nothing in this world comes for free.
“Why is making a living so hard…?”
When staying at Gold Apartment, 107 Grandmother and 203 Aunt were the same way.
Whenever they met, they would chat about how life was tough and bitter.
“But that’s just life.”
However, Tie spoke with a determined voice.
And came out of Nordics’ embrace to drink milk energetically.
“Tie believes in Marul! So everyone will be okay!”
White milk foam clung to her upper lip.
And five hours later.
“Uncle Basto…!”
The light of Idongchin flashed once again on the 1st floor of the manor.
“Child! We’re back!”
“Unit Leader, Idongchin is working well! You don’t need to worry.”
The light faded and the unit members revealed themselves.
Each held a sack of monster cores in their hands.
“So you’re saying you really teleported right in front of Mastone?”
Basto nodded at Nordics’ question.
“Yes. There was no loud noise from clashing magic power either.”p>
“…I see. Was besieging Mastone manageable?”
“No problems.”
Basto, who answered, gestured toward the back.
There, Tie was neatly loading sacks filled with monster cores onto the cart.
“Selina, shall we go to the Compensation Office together tomorrow morning? If we take this there, they’ll exchange it for money!”
“I’ve never been to the mercenaries’ Compensation Office. Sounds fun.”
“Yeah! It’s really fun! But it’s a secret that Tie is a child there.”
Basto looked at Nordics.
“Things are going to get busy from now on.”
“I think so too.”
Tie didn’t seem to realize it, but the enhanced Idongchin was innovation itself.
Technology that didn’t exist in the world.
The key to ridiculously shortening siege time.
Everything was a harvest gained when Tie awakened Marbas.
Basto’s eyes gleamed.
“Now I wonder how the top-tier mercenary groups will react.”
Other mercenary groups aside, Trevaga had never had their position threatened even once.
But if Agabelt continued to maintain this siege speed…
The competitive spirit Basto had forgotten blazed in his eyes.
The next day.
With the noon bell, Tie’s crooked handwritten motto was hung on the courtyard wall.
[Anything but 1st place is shameful!!!]
And true to the motto, the unit members set out on another expedition.
This time toward a medium-sized Mastone, not a small one.
