A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 145

 

Nordics nodded readily.

 

‘Indeed…’

 

In truth, he had been uncertain all along.

 

Even if they were lucky enough to secure a preparatory school in Flint Cove, it would be difficult to send Tie there daily while avoiding people’s eyes.

 

But the Commander’s plan seemed plausible.

 

“How would the underground passage be operated?”

 

“It’s extremely exclusive. If you’re not a resident of Flint Cove, even entry is difficult. I’ve already confirmed that even information brokers can’t freely come and go there.”

 

“I understand what you’re saying. But there’s no guarantee that such people would let Tie in, is there?”

 

At those words, Alexander, who had been listening, stepped forward.

 

“You don’t need to worry about that. I have some connections with those people.”

 

Alexander continued with a gentle smile.

 

“I’ve performed officially prohibited medical practices a few times. Inside Flint Cove.”

 

The unit members and Tie looked at Alexander with curious faces.

 

Alexander spoke while recalling the past.

 

“A year ago, there was a severe coughing epidemic inside Flint Cove.”

 

That disease was highly contagious.

 

It spread just by being in the same space, and was quite fatal to children and the elderly.

 

The Emperor immediately sealed off Flint Cove.

 

And began providing them with only basic food and water.

 

But Alexander’s thinking differed from the Emperor’s.

 

‘We can’t leave it like this. It’s too dangerous. Water and food aren’t fundamental solutions to the disease.’

 

He thought Flint Cove needed medical personnel to treat the disease.

 

The problem was that the Emperor had no interest whatsoever in the people of Flint Cove.

 

The Emperor only provided medical personnel to noble patients within the Boundary of the Old Gods.

 

In the end, Alexander took a risk and made one decision.

 

He decided to smuggle medical supplies from the Paladin Order and bring them into Flint Cove.

 

He publicly pretended to have caught the coughing disease and be quarantined, while secretly sneaking into Flint Cove.

 

And he began treating the severely ill patients one by one.

 

Valentis also secretly helped him from behind.

 

As a result, they were able to save the lives of countless people in Flint Cove.

 

“That’s when I became acquainted with the district chief. Sure enough, when I explained the situation, he said he’d let Miss Tie come and go freely.”

 

Tie gulped.

 

‘So, it’s originally a place Tie couldn’t go to.’

 

But she could go because of Alexander’s connections?

 

Her heart pounded with excitement.

 

‘I wanted to go to preparatory school so badly…!’

 

Going to school and putting her coat and bag on the shelf.

 

Then greeting friends and having free play time!

 

Singing songs, talking about weather, reading fairy tales, craft time, and more!

 

“Tie, can you play with friends again now…?”

 

Veil patted Tie’s head.

 

“Yes. Though your schedule will get busier.”

 

Tie nodded vigorously with a melted expression.

 

“Even if busy, it’s okay!”

 

Going to preparatory school during the day and attacking Mastone at night was nothing!

 

“Tie can do it!”

 

The unit members burst into laughter at her spirited appearance.

 

Valentis and the three princes also watched that scene warmly.

 

And so, several more days passed, and one morning.

 

“Oh my, how perfectly this princess dress suits our Tie! So pretty.”

 

Tie wore the princess dress Marshal had put on her and had pins in her hair too.

 

After putting on Agabert’s uniform, she pressed her cheeks in front of the mirror.

 

Lucalion reminded her from the side.

 

“…As I said before, if anything dangerous happens, scream. I’ll be watching from nearby.”

 

Tie nodded energetically.

 

“Okay!”

 

After putting Ppupppu on her shoulder and leaving the room, Basto was waiting.

 

“Let’s go! To the pub!”

 

Veil, who was coming up the stairs, said.

 

“It’s not pub, it’s tavern.”

 

“Same thing! They’re both places to drink, Veil.”

 

Tie, who had answered cheekily, hummed while going down the stairs.

 

The unit members had already gathered on the 1st floor.

 

“Tie, do well and come back.”

 

Nordics patted Tie’s back,

 

“Danzu! Fighting!”

 

Raul and Enzo, who had learned “fighting” from Tie, waved their fists.

 

Tie nodded solemnly, then opened the entrance door and came out.

 

“The weather is nice.”

 

Basto said in a gentle voice.

 

Tie giggled and looked once at Father’s empty neighboring house before passing through the gate.

 

Walking along the neat brick road, she could see the large roof of the Imperial Capital in the distance.

 

“It’s about 15 minutes on foot daily. If you pass through the shopping district, there’s a tavern building at the end. I’ll always take you there.”

 

Instead of answering Basto’s words, Tie nodded.

 

She could already feel information brokers following behind them.

 

The information brokers’ interest in Tie had become even more intense since Agabert started ranking 7th.

 

“The life of a popular person is really tiring…”

 

Tie shook her head and walked energetically.

 

How long had they walked?

 

Finally, they arrived at the shopping district bustling with people from morning.

 

“Madam, please look at this. This is a new line that Camor Brewery just started producing, and the flavor is amazing!”

 

“Look at the clothes! Today only, selling at a special price!”

 

Tie held Basto’s hand while weaving through the crowd.

 

Some of them recognized Tie and showed curious interest.

 

“Over there.”

 

Basto pointed somewhere.

 

At the end of the alley.

 

Where the round circular square and the gateway leading to Flint Cove were located.

 

A massive 6-story building stood tall with a sign reading 【Tavern, Tabern】.

 

Tie looked around briefly.

 

Then deliberately raised her voice to say.

 

“Ahem. I’m craving something strong from morning!”

 

This line was something she and Veil had researched to figure out how to look like a drinker.

 

Indeed, the people who had been watching Tie exchanged glances among themselves.

 

Their expressions showed they firmly believed Tie was not a child, but a Commander King who enjoyed strong liquor.

 

“Let’s go in.”

 

Upon arriving in front of the tavern, Basto said.

 

Tie waved one hand back and forth before going inside.

 

The tavern was enormous.

 

The 1st floor was already bustling with countless people.

 

But Tie had a different destination.

 

“Ahem! I’m craving something strong from the morning…!”

 

After delivering her line just in case, the child stood before the stairs leading to the basement at the very back of the tavern.

 

The two men guarding the stairs recognized Tie and quietly stepped aside.

 

As she was about to go down the stairs, she could hear people whispering behind her.

 

“Wasn’t that just the Sorcerer King? The mercenary who’s doing well these days.”

 

“That’s correct, sir.”

 

“…So the rumors about raking in money must be true. Tabern gave up the entire basement.”

 

“Is it because of the talk about there being a VIP room in the basement?”

 

“That’s right. They rarely show it to anyone, so I wondered who could be such a VIP, but really. To think they’d open it for some lowly commoner mercenary.”

 

Of course, the VIP room was a lie the tavern made up to hide the underground passage leading to Flint Cove, but the nobles believed it.

 

“When I asked to be guided to the VIP room several times, they didn’t even pretend to listen!”

 

The gazes of several haughty nobles pierced toward Tie.

 

But when they faced the giant Basto standing behind Tie, they quickly averted their eyes.

 

Meanwhile, Tie descended the endless stairs and passed through a warehouse filled with miscellaneous items.

 

After going down another long staircase and opening an iron door,

 

“Oh my goodness… from Tabern… someone’s coming all the way down…”

 

Inside the complex and massive underground passage made of patched rusty iron and wood.

 

Dozens of eyes fixed on Tie.

 

They were elders sitting gathered around the edges of the underground passage, each with their own small stalls.

 

“Child, how old are you…? How did you get here, hmm?”

 

Tie stared at the elders with her mouth slightly agape for a moment.

 

Basto, who arrived behind her, watched Tie with a worried expression.

 

He was concerned that Tie might be frightened of the elders.

 

But that was a huge misconception.

 

“Grandmother, hello! My name is Tie!”

 

Tie ran over cheerfully, bowed politely in greeting, then plopped down right among the elders.

 

“Tie is four years old! Grandmother, how old are you? What are you doing here?”
