A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 159

 

Selina continued speaking cheerfully.

 

“You know, I’ve been researching the Empire’s mercenary groups lately.”

 

Tie focused on Selina.

 

“I found out that our neighboring Trevaga has as many as twenty-three members.”

 

“Twenty-three meow…?”

 

“Tie, do you know how the Talochium Empire defines large-scale mercenary groups?”

 

Tie shook her head back and forth.

 

Selina straightened her shoulders and continued speaking.

 

“They need at least 5 medium-sized Mastone siege activities per quarter, and at least twenty members excluding the leader to register as a large-scale mercenary group.”

 

Tie hesitantly raised one hand.

 

“But what’s good about being a large-scale mercenary group?”

 

“Oh my, Tie.”

 

Selina answered as if revealing a secret.

 

“The name sounds cooler!”

 

“The name?”

 

“Yes! Just like how regular Tanifang and Royal Tanifang are different classes, mercenary groups are also divided into regular mercenary groups and large-scale mercenary groups.”

 

“Large-scale mercenary group…”

 

“So why would Trevaga want to merge with Agabelt? Agabelt is just a regular mercenary group, while they’re a large-scale mercenary group.”

 

Tie, having gained enlightenment, gulped.

 

Come to think of it, everything Selina said was right.

 

Of course, Agabelt had Lucalion, Ppupppu, and Marul besides the unit members.

 

But they were Tie’s summons, so they weren’t registered as official members.

 

Raul, who had been watching, hesitantly interjected.

 

“Well, still, skill matters more than numbers…”

 

“Yeah! We need to gather unit members.”

 

Then Tie interrupted Raul’s words.

 

Tie began spinning around the sofa with her arm wrapped in bandages.

 

“Let’s quickly gather twenty people! We should become a large-scale mercenary group too!”

 

Basto held his forehead. Veil made a “huh” sound while staring at Tie.

 

But Tie ran to Basto with an innocent face.

 

“Hammer! Where do we recruit unit members?”

 

The child’s green eyes were already sparkling brightly again.

 

“Should Tie post ‘Seeking Unit Members’ on the streets? Huh?”

 

Basto let out a short sigh and stood up from his seat.

 

But he surprisingly gave a kind answer.

 

“There are quite a few methods.”

 

Basto now knew.

 

Tie was a child who would do whatever it took to accomplish what she wanted to do.

 

Even if he suggested taking a little rest, she would absolutely not listen.

 

She would just slump her shoulders and wander around getting noticed by everyone.

 

“If you promise to take exactly two weeks off from the Preparatory School, I’ll look into new unit members for you.”

 

Great shock appeared on Tie’s face.

 

“The, the Preparatory School… for two weeks…!”

 

But determination suddenly appeared in the troubled child’s eyes.

 

“Okay!”

 

Basto eventually burst into laughter seeing Tie like that.

 

He thought while patting Tie’s fluffy head.

 

‘Right. Expanding the mercenary group’s scale was something we planned from the beginning.’

 

Basto recalled several Mercenary Recruitment Offices in his mind.

 

The next day.

 

Large posters were put up at Mercenary Recruitment Offices throughout the Empire.

 

“Did you see that?! The Commander King is recruiting unit members!”

 

Mercenaries hanging around the recruitment offices exchanged conversations with excited faces.

 

“Did you see the conditions? They say you have to take a secrecy oath because of the Commander King’s identity.”

 

“An oath? Isn’t that really difficult magic?”

 

“What are you worried about? Since the Commander King is a mage, they’ll cast it directly. Anyway, are you going to contact them? They said you can borrow a communication device from the recruitment office to contact them.”

 

“What? Agabelt already has communication devices too?!”

 

“It’s a mercenary group with a base in Jedo, so why wouldn’t they have communication devices? I’m thinking of applying this time.”

 

Throughout the day, the recruitment office had a constant stream of mercenaries wanting to join Agabelt.

 

Meanwhile, it was Raul and Enzo who answered the constantly ringing communication devices at the base.

 

“Yes. Please tell me your name, age, and main weapon first.”

 

When Raul took calls from applicants, Enzo neatly transcribed them onto paper.

 

When the communication ended, Enzo slowly read the mercenary information he had written down.

 

“Russ Samuel from 【Piconto Mercenary Group】. He’s 32 years old.”

 

“Hmm, wait a moment?”

 

Selina opened a thick reference book from the side.

 

Marbas gathered his magical power to create a special magnifying glass.

 

Using this magnifying glass, they could quickly find the name they were looking for even in materials spanning hundreds of pages.

 

[Here it is!]

 

This reference book containing mercenaries’ information was something Tie had received by contacting Marianne Wavril, the magistrate of Pearl City.

 

Marianne contacted her mother, Viscount Waverill, and the Viscount immediately sent someone to Tie’s base.

 

They handed over all the personal information about mercenaries that the Viscount’s family possessed.

 

“It says Russ Samuel was in the North Continent Paladin Order before joining the Piconto Mercenary Group? He was dishonorably discharged from there.”

 

At Selina’s words, Enzo took the materials.

 

“That’s really true. Let me see the reason…”

 

Enzo burst into laughter.

 

“Embezzlement. And as if that wasn’t enough, leaking information within the Paladin Order?”

 

Raul, Enzo, Selina, and Marbas made eye contact with each other.

 

Soon all four said simultaneously.

 

“Rejected.”

 

As soon as they crumpled up the note with the information, the communication device rang again as if it had been waiting.

 

“Aaaahhh!”

 

“Save us! Everyone run!”

 

Surroundings where darkness had fallen.

 

A battle zone where monsters and a mercenary group were in the midst of combat.

 

“Re, retreat! Meet again at the Village Entrance, ugh-!”

 

Flying monsters attacked the fleeing mercenaries.

 

The mercenaries crawled desperately under grass and behind trees to survive.

 

“We, we shouldn’t have listened to the leader. How could we siege a medium-sized one!”

 

The injured mercenaries were all shedding tears.

 

“We promised we’d return alive…”

 

The faces of family and lovers left behind in their hometowns flickered before their eyes.

 

Then.

 

The sound of monsters’ wingbeats rapidly approached from the distance.

 

It was when they, sensing death, squeezed their eyes shut.

 

“This place is also a mess, a complete mess.”

 

A flash of light appeared in the forest, and something emerged between the trees.

 

“Brother Veil, what a mess this is. Everyone’s fighting hard, so don’t use bad words.”

 

“If it’s a mess, what else am I supposed to call it?”

 

“Ugh, Tie hates nagging!”

 

Several mercenaries who had kept their eyes tightly shut poked their heads out from behind trees. Then their jaws dropped open.

 

In the middle of the forest overrun with monsters. Four people in black cloaks were having a loud conversation.

 

Mysterious pink decorations embroidered beneath their cloaks.

 

It was unmistakably Agabert.

 

“Kamang will catch the sparrow monsters!”

 

Among them, the mercenaries who noticed the presence of a cheerfully shouting child gulped down their saliva.

 

“Sorcerer King…?”

 

At the same time, a gust of wind blew through the forest.

 

The tree branches suddenly swayed to one side, and hazy spirits began to swarm in.

 

“Kieeeek-!”

 

The spirits, as if they had been waiting, pierced through the hearts of the monsters roaming the ground.

 

As the monsters collapsed, skeletons that sprouted from the earth dragged them down below.

 

Nordics, who had been watching this scene, spoke leisurely.

 

“There will be many injured in this area too. Veil, help me out.”

 

“Old man, seriously! I’m busy too! Don’t I have to collect the cores!”

 

“That can be done slowly later, can’t it.”

 

When Nordics entered the forest with emergency medicine, Veil grumbled and followed behind him.

 

The mercenaries could only watch in silence as Agabert quickly cleaned up the battlefield.

 

But that wasn’t all.

 

An hour later. They looked up at the being standing before them with even more shocked faces.

 

Tie, surrounded by black smoke and floating in the air, spoke.

 

“So you see, if you join Agabert…!”

 

While dangling the Sacred Relic of Oblivion in one hand.

 

A few weeks later.

 

“Is the bleeding under control?”

 

Trebaga’s Stronghold.

 

Aleric spoke as he entered Tesetan’s messy office.

 

Tesetan, who had been leaning back in his chair, opened his eyes.

 

Around his wrist was the covenant ring, now much tighter than before.
