A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 158

 

“Disbandment?!”

 

At that moment, Livia burst into the barracks.

 

Aleric and Victor, who had been listening at the door and lost their balance, stumbled in after her awkwardly.

 

“Disbandment, disbandment?”

 

Livia rushed over frantically and squeezed between Basto and Tesetan.

 

She had a rare expression of complete terror on her face.

 

“It’s not disbandment! No matter how badly our leader got beaten, it’s not disbandment!”

 

Tesetan clutched his forehead.

 

Basto looked down at Livia with no change in expression.

 

Livia spun around frantically. Then she went over to Nordics, who was sitting at the makeshift desk.

 

“Old man. You’re the real power over there, right? Say something, it’s not disbandment! How did Trevaga even get this far!”

 

When Nordics didn’t answer, Livia ran back to Basto.

 

“H-how about suspension of activities? We won’t do anything during that time! You can complete all the missions and take the top ranking, we won’t say anything, okay?!”

 

“Livia. Stop it.”

 

“Let go!”

 

Aleric tried to intervene, but Livia shook him off.

 

Tears were already welling up in her eyes.

 

“I can’t go anywhere except Trevaga. You know, Aleric! You know what this place means to me!”

 

“…Livia.”

 

“I can’t go. How have I lived. How have I…”

 

Tears began dripping down from Livia’s eyes as she collapsed to the floor.

 

Tesetan silently closed his eyes.

 

Basto’s cold voice echoed through the barracks.

 

“If the mercenary group was so precious to you, you should have stopped your leader before he did something so reckless.”

 

Livia raised her gaze.

 

Basto’s face in the torchlight was utterly cold.

 

“Your leader risked his life on your whimsical games. You even ignored the principles of dueling. And yet our leader…”

 

Basto glared at Tesetan again.

 

“Protected you with his injured body. He showed you mercy.”

 

Nordics also nodded and stood up.

 

“He’s right. I too find it regrettable that the mercenary group is being dissolved, but since you dueled with conditions, shouldn’t you keep your word?”

 

“No!”

 

Livia jumped up.

 

“Still, disbandment is not okay. If Trevaga disappears…!”

 

“We can’t listen anymore. We’ve conveyed our position, so solve your problems among yourselves.”

 

Basto turned around. Nordics followed behind him.

 

As Livia collapsed again, Aleric ran over to support her.

 

Then.

 

The entrance to the barracks fluttered.

 

“Don’t disband!”

 

The tent that had been lifted slowly fell down, covering Tie’s head as he entered.

 

“Eek.”

 

The child groaned and pushed away the tent, then looked at Tesetan.

 

“Un-unification is…?”

 

“Child!”

 

Veil followed behind with a bewildered expression.

 

Tie avoided Veil and ran over quickly, standing in front of Livia and Tesetan.

 

“What if we unify instead of disbanding? Then we don’t have to separate.”

 

Livia’s face went blank.

 

She slowly asked back.

 

“…Unification? You mean merger?”

 

Tie nodded urgently.

 

“Yes! Merger! Two becoming one by combining!”

 

Livia’s eyes sparkled momentarily.

 

‘Right. If it’s a merger.’

 

Trevaga wouldn’t have to scatter and break apart.

 

Moreover, Agabert wasn’t an incompetent mercenary group, so there was no burden.

 

Honestly speaking, it was puzzling why they would make such an offer, but this proposal was the best choice for Trevaga in many ways.

 

“Are you serious?”

 

“Yes!”

 

“Child, are you crazy?”

 

Veil ran over and carefully picked up Tie.

 

Veil looked at Tie’s arm as if his insides were bursting and said.

 

“You want to accept the guy who did this to your arm as a subordinate? Do you think merger is some kind of game? It means we and they become one family!”

 

Tie avoided Veil’s eyes and mumbled.

 

“But…”

 

“…”

 

“Why can’t we become one family? That could happen.”

 

“What, what?”

 

“Friends can get hurt while playing together, Teacher said so too…”

 

“Ridiculous.”

 

Tesetan interrupted.

 

Tie’s eyes widened as he stared at Tesetan.

 

Tesetan calmed the emotional turmoil rising for no reason and faced the Sorcerer King.

 

‘That face again.’

 

The Sorcerer King was still looking at him with that harmless face.

 

Before the duel, during the duel, he was like that.

 

Now he even came with bandages wrapped around his shoulder, as if he had no hostility toward Tesetan at all…

 

“You. Do you feel some kind of pity for me?”

 

At his stiff voice, Tie’s eyebrows drooped slightly.

 

“Pity…?”

 

“I’m asking if you’re sympathizing with me.”

 

The child’s white brow furrowed.

 

Tie, who had been muttering ‘sympathy…’, suddenly raised his head.

 

“Th-that’s not it?”

 

“Then what? Did you think I’d be grateful if you offered a merger? Did you think I’d immediately bow down and agree?”

 

“No. Tie just…”

 

“Even if my wrist gets cut off, I have no intention of crawling under you.”

 

Tesetan spoke coldly and unwrapped the bandage from his hand that had been bothering him, throwing it to the floor.

 

“I’ll handle the disbandment myself, so stop worrying.”

 

And before anyone could stop him, he left the barracks.

 

“Leader, hey… Hey! Leader!”

 

Livia soon followed after him.

 

Tie remained in Veil’s arms, staring blankly at the exit where Tesetan had disappeared.

 

Veil shook his head and laughed.

 

“I knew he’d do that. A bastard who fed his humanity to the monsters.”

 

Tie’s expression gradually darkened.

 

Tie remained frozen for a while, then drooped his shoulders and buried his head in Veil’s chest.

 

“We’ll reopen the assembly again soon.”

 

The Central Plaza of the Institution, returned to using Idongchin.

 

Ardiana said to Tie.

 

Tie nodded weakly.

 

“Yes….”

 

Tie forced a smile for Ardiana.

 

“Then farewell, Princess, no, Association President. Let’s meet again later.”

 

Ardiana silently watched Tie as he turned away.

 

The adjutant approached from the side and whispered.

 

“This is the first time I’ve seen something like this while working for the Association.”

 

But Ardiana still couldn’t take her eyes off Tie.

 

The voices of Agavert members talking to the returning Commander King could be heard.

 

“Let’s go, Danzu.”

 

“Yeah. Let’s go rest well. We came for the assembly and what is this.”

 

“Shall I carry you? Don’t your legs hurt?”

 

The members all seemed restless about the Commander King who had an unplanned sword duel.

 

But the Commander King only shook his head desolately.

 

“…I’m fine. The Commander King originally walks alone courageously.”

 

Ardiana’s eyes sank strangely. She muttered to herself.

 

“Will they really merge.”

 

“Pardon?”

 

“Agabert and Trevaga, I mean.”

 

The adjutant made an “uh…” sound.

 

Then after thinking carefully, answered.

 

“Well. From the atmosphere, didn’t it seem like Trevaga would just disband instead?”

 

“….”

 

“It’s a loss for the Association, but now we have Agabert….”

 

Ardiana let out a small sigh.

 

Commander King.

 

Adelin had called him ‘sincere and pure’.

 

She unknowingly fell into deep thought.

 

‘He’s disguised as… a young child, she said.’

 

Then she quietly watched until Astie’s figure disappeared.

 

Tie, who had returned home, limped toward the sofa on the 1st floor.

 

Veil brought firewood and began lighting a fire in the fireplace.

 

The members who had been watching Tie’s mood approached one by one.

 

Why he had accepted the sword duel, whether he had stopped Tesetan’s rampage and if there were any side effects.

 

They had many questions, but the child’s expression looked so complicated that they couldn’t say anything.

 

Even Marshal, who was bringing warm milk, just stood frozen awkwardly in the kitchen.

 

Then. Breaking through the silence, Tie muttered.

 

“Why don’t I want to unify…?”

 

The members startled and looked at Tie.

 

Tie was lost in serious contemplation with pursed lips.

 

“Unifying with Tie would be much better than Trevaga disappearing….”

 

Basto sighed.

 

He carefully approached and sat beside Tie.

 

“Tie. That’s….”

 

“Agabert’s scale is much smaller, right? That’s why.”

 

At that moment, a bright voice was heard from the doorway.

 

Selina, who had arrived at some point, bounced over to Tie.

 

“Think about it. Tie has two huge cakes, and I only have one piece of candy. But suddenly I say let’s combine our snacks. Would you like that?”

 

Tie’s lips parted.

 

Soon the child shook his head vigorously.

 

With an expression of having gained great enlightenment.
