A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 165

 

A few days later, Astie’s Mansion Basement.

 

“Then let’s begin the executive meeting.”

 

Starting with the opening declaration, six people gathered around the round table.

 

“Let’s look at today’s agenda first.”

 

First, Nordics examining the agenda,

 

“Let’s do whatever quickly and finish. I can’t breathe in the same space as that bastard for even one more minute.”

 

Veil growling while glaring at Tesetan diagonally across.

 

“….”

 

Basto and Aleric sitting calmly even in such a situation.

 

“Ha.”

 

Tesetan sighing as if this situation was absurd.

 

Finally, Tie, who was sitting closely attached to Tesetan’s side, was the main character.

 

“Since we have more unit members, it’s right to increase siege operations too.”

 

Veil, looking at Tie with displeasure, spoke first.

 

Aleric immediately responded.

 

“Increasing siege operations doesn’t necessarily increase mastone harvest rates. Efficient sieges are what’s important.”

 

“Why are you picking fights from the very beginning? Ah, are you trying to establish discipline from the first executive meeting?”

 

“…This is a meeting. It’s natural for members to express their respective opinions in a meeting. Don’t act emotionally.”

 

“Wh, what? Ha! Emotional?!”

 

When Veil shot up from his seat, Basto grabbed his arm and made him sit back down.

 

Basto sighed and asked Aleric.

 

“Do you have any other thoughts about efficient siege methods?”

 

Aleric nodded.

 

“We divide the siege teams into three. If they take turns going on sieges, they’ll be able to easily conserve their stamina.”

 

Basto nodded.

 

“Good. Then we need to think about how to distribute the personnel.”

 

“How about we start by organizing the combat tendencies of the new unit members?”

 

“Right. The association assembly has been postponed quite far back, so we have time for now….”

 

The meeting proceeded quickly, centered around Basto, Nordics, and Aleric.

 

One hour later.

 

“Good. This seems sufficient, so let’s get up.”

 

Basto, who had finished the meeting, stood up from his seat.

 

Tesetan got up following him as if he had been waiting and thought.

 

‘…What was with that whole hour.’

 

During the entire meeting, the Commander King had been staring at him without rest for even a moment.

 

His left cheek, where the Commander King’s gaze had been fixed, felt numb.

 

It was when Tesetan was about to go up the stairs as if escaping.

 

“Wait.”

 

Basto stopped him.

 

When he turned his head, he saw Basto’s blunt face.

 

“In three days, we all have somewhere to go together. Just in case, keep your schedule free.”

 

Tesetan’s brow furrowed.

 

Somewhere to go together.

 

‘As expected, a strange group.’

 

Agabert seemed to go on outings somewhere every week.

 

If not that, there would be almost no reason for mercenaries to travel around together for anything other than sieges.

 

‘How much more so for a mercenary group formed by an oddball like the Commander King.’

 

Tesetan nodded roughly.

 

He had absolutely no desire to follow along to strange gatherings, but it was obvious what would happen if he said he wouldn’t go.

 

The unit member called Veil would cause a fuss, and the Commander King would be bothersome again.

 

“….”

 

Even now, the Commander King was looking at him with sparkling eyes.

 

Tesetan quickly turned around.

 

And went up the stairs rapidly.

 

Aleric also followed behind him.

 

The basement with only Veil, Basto, Nordics, and Tie remaining.

 

Veil grumbled as if it was absurd.

 

“He doesn’t even ask where we’re going. This is why you shouldn’t take in black-haired beasts. Would someone who rolled in by chance have any interest in what our mercenary group usually does?”

 

The place they were planning to go in three days was none other than the Luminen Estate.

 

Agabert had been having meeting-like gatherings with the Luminen Family every week.

 

Since they were in a position where they had to be in the same boat while avoiding the eyes of the Emperor and the Order, they had to share what each was doing every week.

 

Of course, after Tie got a communication device, they could exchange news through it,

 

“Uhehe. If the Commander knows Tie gathered many members, he’ll say I did well. Right, Brother Veil?”

 

Since Tie liked Commander Luminen and the three princes so much, there was no choice but to go meet them in person.

 

“Say you did well, my foot. With the Commander’s personality, he’d be lucky not to scold you asking where you picked up such an ill-mannered thing.”

 

“Brother Veil is really mean! The Commander doesn’t scold!”

 

“He does scold, you know? He only smiles gently at you, but he’s so strict with us. You don’t even know, child.”

 

Veil pushed Tie’s forehead very, very lightly.

 

Tie sighed “Eh-hoo” and shook her head back and forth.

 

Time passed quickly after that.

 

Agabert efficiently utilized the increased members to start a new method of mastone sieges.

 

And during that time, something very, very sad and devastating happened to Tie.

 

“Heu, heueng….”

 

“Tie, I told you not to cry. When Tie cries, I keep tearing up too!”

 

Selina was leaving for the North Continent with her parents.

 

Tie wiped away the tears that were dripping down and hugged Selina.

 

Selina also sniffled and rubbed her eyes.

 

“Selina, heuong, you can’t forget Tie, okay? It’s a promise… heu, euong!”

 

“Why would I forget Tie! I’ll contact you even from the North Continent, so just check your communication device properly!”

 

“Uh-huh! Even when going to the bathroom, even when bathing, I’ll take it with me!”

 

“…You know you can’t drop it in water, right? If water gets into the core mastone, it corrodes and breaks.”

 

Tie nodded with puffy eyes.

 

Selina sighed and finally patted Tie’s back gently.

 

And soon walked out the entrance with reluctant steps.

 

Tie hiccupped “hic, hic” while watching Selina moving away outside the door.

 

Then she suddenly realized the muscles around her neck were tingling and whimpered.

 

“Bu, hic, but Selina grew really tall really fast…?”

 

When they first met, their eye levels weren’t that different.

 

Today, it felt like the height difference was so much that her neck hurt.

 

At Tie’s words, Raul, who had been watching from a little distance, hesitated.

 

He soon narrowed his eyes and looked at Selina leaving through the garden gate.

 

“…It doesn’t seem like Princess Selina grew that much.”

 

He slowly shifted his gaze to Tie.

 

Tie, standing against the entrance, still barely reached the door handle with her head.

 

‘Strange. Wasn’t she like that when she first came to the manor?’

 

He pondered and approached Tie.

 

And quietly looked down at the top of Tie’s head.

 

Tie’s height still fell far short of reaching his pelvis.

 

To be precise, it barely brushed where the long tassel attached to his scabbard hung….

 

Raul’s expression grew serious.

 

It wasn’t his imagination.

 

‘You haven’t grown at all compared to when I last measured you?’

 

The reason he remembered Tie’s height was thanks to Commander Luminen.

 

In the past, when he went to Commander Luminen’s house, the commander had once told Tie that he ‘seemed to have grown a little taller.’

 

That day, when Tie returned to the stronghold, he was so excited that he caused a commotion, telling the unit members to quickly measure his height.

 

Unable to bear watching it, Raul had stepped forward as representative to measure Tie’s height,

 

‘Back then, you were exactly this tall too.’

 

Tie’s height was precisely at the point where his scabbard ornament ended.

 

Basto approached.

 

“What’s the matter.”

 

Raul was startled, then immediately glanced at Tie to gauge his reaction.

 

Then he took Basto with him up the stairs to stand on the 2nd floor.

 

“Well, it seems like Danzu’s growth has stopped.”

 

Basto’s eyes widened.

 

“Growth has stopped?”

 

Raul gestured toward the 1st floor.

 

There, Tie was still clinging in front of the entrance, sniffling.

 

“I realized it when I saw Princess Selina. It seems like their eye levels have suddenly become quite different.”

 

Basto closed his mouth.

 

“Of course, it could be that Princess Selina has grown a lot recently… but I think it’s more likely that Danzu hasn’t grown….”

 

Basto stared blankly at Tie.

 

He recalled when Lilia was four years old.

 

As Raul said, back then the child would grow rapidly even in moments of brief inattention.

 

It felt like she grew about half a span per year….

 

Basto’s gaze settled calmly.
