A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 166

 

The day after Selina departed for the North Continent.

 

“Sigh, mornings without Selina are so lonely…”

 

Tie got up from bed with a dejected face.

 

But soon she raised both arms energetically.

 

“Still, today’s the day I meet the Commander, so fighting!”

 

Ppupppu, who had just woken up, spun his trunk around in response.

 

Lucalion had already left for somewhere, and Marbas, left on the nightstand, was still fast asleep.

 

Tie put on the cloak that Aunt Marshal had placed on the chair the night before and left the room.

 

“Gasp!”

 

Then she smiled brightly.

 

“You actually came on time for once. Though you didn’t have to come.”

 

Father had already arrived downstairs.

 

Though he was already in a staring contest with Veil.

 

“Wow, you really hold grudges. Since we’ve joined forces, why don’t you get along? How long are you going to be obsessed with devouring our unit leader, no, deputy unit leader?”

 

“…Ha, get the title right. And the boss wasn’t talking to you, so why don’t you go your way?”

 

Lately, Veil had been like a fighting rooster.

 

Whenever he saw unit members who had come over from Trevaga, he would glare fiercely and growl.

 

“So noisy. I don’t know where you’re going, but let’s leave quickly.”

 

Tesetan spoke tiredly from between them.

 

Tie hurried down and stood in front of Tesetan.

 

“Yes! Let’s go quickly! You’ll be so surprised when we get there~!”

 

Though she didn’t show it, Tie felt quite proud that she was acquainted with the Luminen family.

 

‘They said mercenaries usually can’t get close to paladins.’

 

Tie was not only close but had meals with Commander Luminen every week.

 

The fact that their friendship was officially a secret also made Tie’s heart race somehow.

 

‘Commander and Tie are secret friends!’

 

It felt like secretly being friends with the all-powerful owner of a kids’ cafe.

 

Like the owner secretly giving only Tie chocolate and candy.

 

Tie, puffing with pride, took the first step.

 

As soon as Tie opened the door, she first cast a barrier around the stronghold.

 

Tie had recently told Leonardo that he no longer needed to come pick her up.

 

This was because Tie could now cast barriers on her own without Leonardo.

 

Seeing Tesetan, Livia, and Aleric get into the second carriage, Tie quickly ran over there too.

 

“Hey! Where are you going!”

 

Veil shouted from the first carriage, but Tie pretended not to hear and slyly turned her head.

 

Then she sat down right next to Father.

 

“…Ha.”

 

Of course, Father still seemed uncomfortable to death and avoided Tie’s gaze.

 

He subtly moved toward the window, but Tie didn’t give up and moved even closer to Father.

 

Through the window, they could hear Veil and Nordics bickering in the front carriage.

 

“Hey child, you really won’t come here!”

 

“Never mind, just leave her be.”

 

The carriage began to move.

 

Livia, crossing her legs, asked Tie.

 

“Unit leader. But where are we going?”

 

Tie stopped giggling and answered.

 

“A really nice place! They give us food and we talk together too.”

 

“Talk? What kind of talk? Is it like a restaurant?”

 

Aleric sighed.

 

“Don’t you see the tracking prohibition barrier, Livia. There’s no way we’d go to a restaurant with something like this up.”

 

Livia made an “Ah…” sound and tilted her head.

 

“Now that you mention it, that’s true. Like Aleric said, where are we going with even this kind of thing up?”

 

Instead of answering, Tie smiled quietly.

 

How surprised would everyone be to learn that Commander Luminen and Agavert were bear friends?

 

Just then.

 

Tesetan, who had been looking out the window with his chin propped up, hesitated.

 

He frowned slightly and completely pulled back the curtain by the window.

 

Then he began examining the scenery visible outside more closely.

 

“Deputy unit leader. What’s wrong?”

 

Livia asked, noticing his expression wasn’t normal.

 

But Tesetan didn’t answer.

 

He just never took his eyes off the passing street scenery.

 

Then, his complexion gradually grew pale.

 

Tesetan turned his head to stare at Tie.

 

“It can’t be.”

 

“Hm?”

 

“The destination isn’t the Luminen Duchy, is it.”

 

Tie’s eyes widened.

 

‘Gasp, how did he know?’

 

As expected, Father knew everything.

 

To figure out Tie’s destination just by looking at the road!

 

Tie scratched the back of her head and smiled sheepishly.

 

“Well, actually Commander Luminen and Tie are bear friends… Wah!”

 

At that moment, Tesetan suddenly stood up and the carriage shook greatly.

 

“Stop.”

 

At Tesetan’s words as he stuck his head out the window, the unit member driving the carriage stopped it.

 

Tesetan turned toward the entrance.

 

“What, where are you going?”

 

Tie froze in surprise, and Livia reflexively grabbed his wrist.

 

But Tesetan lightly pulled his wrist free from Livia and undid the latch.

 

“I’m not going. I’m getting off.”

 

Tie’s lips parted.

 

She couldn’t understand at all why Father was suddenly acting like this.

 

Even Father’s complexion looked somehow bad.

 

Though she had seen him angry, annoyed, or sulky before.

 

This was the first time seeing such a frightened expression.

 

“But…!”

 

Tie got up from her seat and hurried toward Father.

 

Just as the child was about to grab Tesetan’s clothes as he tried to open the door and leave.

 

“Just stay put.”

 

Before Tesetan could even push the handle.

 

The carriage door suddenly opened from outside.

 

Tie’s eyes widened when she saw who appeared.

 

“Gasp, Uncle Edmund?”

 

It was Edmund stepping boldly into the carriage.

 

Tesetan hesitated and stepped back from his position upon seeing him.

 

Edmund first smiled at Tie, then stared at Tesetan.

 

Then he spoke in a strangely subdued voice.

 

“There are too many watching eyes here, Vice Commander.”

 

A short curse escaped from Tesetan’s stiffened lips.

 

He clamped his mouth shut, then abruptly turned his body away in front of Edmund.

 

Then he returned to his original seat and sat down.

 

Confirming this, Edmund smiled warmly and sat down next to Tie.

 

“Tie. I came to meet you just in case, that’s good, right?”

 

A bright smile spread across Tie’s face.

 

The child quickly hugged Edmund’s arm and giggled.

 

Then, as if remembering something, she made an “Oh my!” sound and stood up on her chair.

 

Tie put up another barrier around just herself and Edmund, and as if that wasn’t enough, whispered very, very quietly into Edmund’s ear.

 

“But Uncle, I haven’t told Tie’s secret to the people here yet.”

 

Edmund’s eyes widened as he whispered back similarly.

 

“What secret?”

 

“You know, that thing. That Tie is a child.”

 

“Really? I thought all the newly joined members knew? Leonardo said you even used a holy relic.”

 

“Mm-hmm. But I haven’t told the people from Trevaga.”

 

Edmund looked back at Tesetan, Livia, and Aleric.

 

“Why didn’t you tell them? Isn’t it uncomfortable?”

 

“Well…”

 

Tie answered with a dejected expression.

 

“I was worried they might say they’d leave again if they found out Tie is a child…”

 

Edmund closed his mouth and smiled softly.

 

Then he showed a thumbs up with a serious expression.

 

“Got it. Uncle will keep the secret strictly, so don’t worry. I’ll tell the other uncles and the Commander too.”

 

Tie smiled brightly.

 

“Really?!”

 

And she threw her arms around Edmund’s neck.

 

“Uncle Edmund is the best!”

 

Edmund laughed heartily.

 

While doing so, he quietly observed Tesetan’s profile visible beyond Tie.

 

Meanwhile.

 

Looking at the Luminen Estate getting closer and closer, Tie felt good.

 

‘Hehe, this is so great.’

 

Mercenary life together with Father.

 

Although Father was prickly toward Tie, just being able to look at Father all day long made Tie happy.

 

‘It’s a shame I can’t hug and kiss him though…’

 

Tie wanted to show Father everything.

 

What Tie had been doing since coming to this world to find Father.

 

How many friends she had made and how many amazing things she had accomplished.

 

‘Commander Luminen and the uncles look similar to Father too, so they’ll become friends quickly, right?!’

 

However, the smile that had formed on Tie’s lips faded as soon as the carriage stopped in front of the estate.

 

“…Let go of this.”

 

“Please don’t do this, Tesetan.”

 

Tie blinked at the unexpected scene unfolding before her eyes.
