A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 144

 

“Escort them to the manor’s underground prison.”

 

Selina’s mother, Katrin, commanded.

 

At those words, workers from the trading company swarmed over and bound the servants who had tormented Selina.

 

The servants who had just been released from Ppupppu’s subspace all had haggard faces without exception.

 

“I even paid double the market rate for wages while earnestly pleading for you to take good care of our Selina…”

 

Katrin’s eyes flashed.

 

Meanwhile, on the other side, Selina’s father Newman was showering his daughter with kisses.

 

“Selina. My daughter. Did you miss daddy a lot?”

 

Selina nodded her head in Newman’s embrace.

 

“I finished talking with your mother about everything. From now on, if I have to go on business trips, I’ve decided to take you with me.”

 

“Really?”

 

“Yes. Until now, I only thought it wouldn’t be good to wander around here and there because of your education…”

 

Newman smiled bitterly as he tucked Selina’s hair behind her ear.

 

“But your mother and father both realized this time that being together as a family is much more important than that.”

 

Selina, who had been blinking in surprise, suddenly threw her arms around Newman.

 

Faint tears had already formed in the child’s eyes.

 

As I was watching that scene, Katrin approached.

 

“Our Selina has been indebted to you, Miss Tie.”

 

Katrin had already roughly heard the story of Selina and Tie through the communication device.

 

Like the experienced businesswoman who operated multiple trading companies, she quickly grasped Tie’s situation.

 

Tie answered shyly.

 

“It’s okay! Selina is Tie’s friend, so it’s not a debt!”

 

Katrin patted Tie’s head.

 

“Not a debt, you say. Thank you so much for staying by our Selina’s side. From what I can see, you seem to be running quite a big business despite your young age.”

 

“Business?”

 

“Of course, a mercenary group is also a business. In that sense, Miss Tie may be young, but you’re a very excellent businesswoman.”

 

Pride slowly spread across Tie’s face.

 

“Yes! Tie is the boss!”

 

Katrin laughed heartily.

 

Then she removed the golden pearl brooch attached to her chest and pinned it to Tie’s clothes.

 

“As a fellow boss, if you ever need anything, please contact me anytime.”

 

Then she gestured toward a worker behind her.

 

The worker approached and offered Tie a black box tied with a golden ribbon.

 

“What is this?”

 

At Basto’s question, Katrin gestured for them to open the box.

 

Tie untied the ribbon and opened the black lid. Then,

 

“…Wow!”

 

Soon a round magical device with a sparkling pink body revealed itself inside.

 

“What, this is a communication device?!”

 

Veil came running over.

 

Enzo and Raul also crowded around with curious faces.

 

“It’s a communication device, that’s right. Usually permits don’t come through easily for mercenary groups, but I pulled some strings.”

 

Basto stared at Katrin with a surprised expression.

 

“…Wait. You mean you’ve already obtained permission for Agavert to use this communication device?”

 

Katrin nodded her head.

 

“Our trading company also does some financial business on a small scale, and one of our major clients is the young master of the Imperial Transmission Bureau.”

 

Basto was so dumbfounded that he turned his gaze away.

 

Tie had already run over to Selina and Newman with the communication device to show it off.

 

“Selina! Tie got a kids’ phone too!”

 

“What’s a kids’ phone?”

 

“This! For making calls! It’s pink, uhehe!”

 

Katrin smiled and added.

 

“It’s awkward for me to say this myself, but our trading company has quite extensive connections. We have many ties reaching here and there. Sometimes that helps in uncomfortable negotiation stages, you know? Even mercenaries occasionally contact us, somehow knowing about us.”

 

“…Mercenaries, you say?”

 

“Of course. Just recently there was a similar incident on the northern continent. Trevaga had friction with the religious order, and we helped smooth things over by greasing some palms in the middle.”

 

Katrin made a circle with her finger.

 

“Anyway! Usually for mercenaries we charge monthly fees to help them, but Agavert is now like family to us, so forget about that.”

 

She gestured toward Selina and Tie.

 

“Would it be alright if our Selina occasionally plays with Miss Tie? This is the first friend Selina has liked this much, so as a mother, I’d like to support the two children’s friendship.”

 

Basto gulped.

 

Then he nodded his head.

 

“…Let’s do that. They’re already so close anyway that even if we tried to separate them now, it wouldn’t be possible.”

 

As if proving those words, Selina was chatting about this and that with Tie again.

 

They were talking about what color the communication device was, and about Tanifang, the character Tie liked.

 

“Thank you so much.”

 

Katrin bowed once more to express her gratitude.

 

Then she looked around at each of the unit members and said.

 

“If you need anything, please contact us anytime. Through that communication device.”

 

Soon Katrin left the manor with the workers and Selina.

 

Tie clung to the window, clutching her newly received communication device, watching Selina’s family enter the front mansion.

 

Two days later.

 

Agavert’s Mastone siege resumed.

 

The number of enhanced teleportation circles Marbas could create per day was a total of two.

 

Using one when going to siege and one when returning was a manageable amount.

 

Two more days after that.

 

This time, Leonardo Luminen secretly visited the manor.

 

“I found a preparatory school that Miss Tie should be able to attend.”

 

As soon as Tie heard those words, she hurried up to her room and came out having put on clothes in a complete mess.

 

It was a ridiculous outfit with just a jacket thrown over her underwear.

 

“Let’s go quickly! Okay? Let’s go quickly!”

 

Leonardo calmed down the frantic Tie, helped her dress properly, then put her in the carriage.

 

When they arrived at Luminen Manor, Tie ran over and hugged Valentis tightly.

 

“Commander!”

 

Having seen him somewhat frequently now, the child had completely let her guard down around Valentis.

 

“Commander, have you been well all this time?”

 

Valentis smiled at her clumsy attempt to ask after his well-being.

 

“Yes. I’ve been well. It seems you’ve been pushing hard with the Mastone siege.”

 

“Yes! Anything but first place would be shameful!”

 

Valentis burst into laughter.

 

The unit members, seeing him laugh out loud for the first time, couldn’t hide their amazement.

 

Tie then also greeted Edmund and Alexander.

 

“Uncle Edmund, Uncle Alexander. Have you been well!”

 

“Yeah, we’ve been well. Commander King child, you look good? You’re already 8th place, right?”

 

“Yes! Tie worked really hard!”

 

“Still, you must always keep safety in mind, Miss Tie. If you get hurt trying to rush, everyone will be sad.”

 

“Yes! If I get hurt, Uncle Alexander will treat me.”

 

“Of course that’s true, but it would be best not to get hurt in the first place, right? You need to stay healthy to keep conquering Mastones and attending the preparatory school.”

 

Tie gasped and looked up.

 

Then she ran back to Valentis again.

 

“But is there really a preparatory school that Tie can attend?”

 

Valentis chuckled softly.

 

“Yes. Let’s go inside and talk about it.”

 

“Yesss!”

 

Tie answered energetically and took Valentis’s hand.

 

Inside the Grand Council Chamber where everyone had gathered.

 

“I bought two buildings in Flint Cove.”

 

At Valentis’s words, the unit members’ eyes widened.

 

Nordics asked back.

 

“Buildings? Did you just say buildings?”

 

“Yes. One is the tavern building at the end of the commercial district, and the other is the old orphanage inside Flint Cove.”

 

Nordics’s brow furrowed.

 

“I understand why you purchased the orphanage, but why the tavern building…”

 

Then the butler handed Valentis a rolled-up parchment.

 

When Valentis unrolled it, a complex map was revealed.

 

“I happened to discover this while investigating. There’s an underground passage system with a complex structure built beneath Flint Cove. It connects to almost all of Flint Cove.”

 

Nordics’s mouth fell slightly open.

 

Valentis looked around at the other unit members and said.

 

“Using that underground passage system, this is how it will appear to outsiders. Every morning, the Commander King goes to work at the tavern.”

 

“…”

 

“But in reality, that’s not the case. Tie will go down the basement stairs of the tavern, pass through the underground passages, and then attend the training facility deep inside Flint Cove.”
