A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 174

 

The day after Tesetan pulled out the fence.

 

Tie cheerfully headed to the neighboring house.

 

Now that there was no fence, she could just hop over to Father’s home.

 

However, Tie, who had been running toward the entrance, soon stopped in her tracks.

 

“Huk…! Can’t you go a little easier on me?”

 

“Have your arms gotten heavy already after resting from siege work for just a few days, Victor? You’re not thinking straight.”

 

Because she heard familiar voices coming from the back of the house, not from inside.

 

Tie changed course and headed to the back garden.

 

And there she discovered Father and Father’s subordinate Victor training shirtless.

 

“Danzu?”

 

Livia, who had been sitting on the backyard stairs, spotted Tie first and came running over.

 

“What? Did you come to watch?”

 

Tie nodded and looked at Father and Victor with a curious expression.

 

She had seen other unit members training, but this was the first time seeing Father train.

 

“Let’s go watch together. Ah! Actually, I tried doing some cooking.”

 

Livia grabbed Tie’s hand and pulled her along.

 

Tie followed Livia to the backyard stairs.

 

And there she discovered a strange chunk of meat dripping with blood.

 

“Huk, wh-what is this…?”

 

Livia grinned.

 

“I tried grilling some meat!”

 

Tie glanced at Livia once, then stared at the meat again.

 

“It looks like uncooked meat…”

 

“Eh?! Really?!”

 

Livia jumped up and turned the plate with the meat this way and that.

 

Then bright red blood flowed down both sides of the plate.

 

“You’re right, it’s a bit undercooked! Just a moment?”

 

Without waiting for an answer, Livia took the meat and went inside the house.

 

At the same time, Victor collapsed onto the ground with a thud.

 

“I can’t do any more.”

 

Tesetan stuck his wooden sword into the ground and clicked his tongue.

 

Victor, who was catching his breath, spoke to Aleric who was leaning against the building’s outer wall.

 

“Aren’t you training, Aleric?”

 

Tesetan and Aleric’s gazes focused on Victor.

 

Victor gestured toward Tie with his eyes.

 

“It seems like a very good sparring partner has arrived at just the right time.”

 

Aleric’s lips parted.

 

Indeed, he nodded as if finding it interesting.

 

“Come to think of it, you’re right. Danzu, would you perhaps like to…”

 

“Are you crazy?”

 

At that moment, Tesetan suddenly stepped in front of Tie.

 

Tesetan glared at Victor and Aleric with an angry expression.

 

“What training? Is Danzu your practice dummy?”

 

Victor’s eyes widened.

 

He furrowed his brow and fell into thought.

 

Then what about when Tesetan helped with his sword training during the Trevaga days?

 

It could be interpreted as him volunteering to be a dummy.

 

As if thinking the same thing, Aleric also wore a puzzled expression.

 

Regardless, Tesetan continued with a sharp voice.

 

“Stop talking nonsense and go inside, Aleric. Instead of watching other people’s training, practice your incantations more.”

 

Next, he glared at Victor.

 

“Victor Redwood. You’re doing a thousand more thrusting exercises today.”

 

“…Danzu, no, Regent! How can you do that!”

 

Meanwhile, behind Tesetan, Tie’s lips spread wide.

 

Her small mouth corners twitched, and a bright smile spread across the child’s face.

 

‘Father really has become kind!’

 

Father had stopped the sparring between Tie and Aleric.

 

It must have been to preserve Tie’s dignity as Danzu!

 

Tie was so proud that she looked at Father with sparkling eyes.

 

Then she discovered something in the distance and her gaze lit up.

 

“Wow. There’s a tree here?”

 

At Tie’s voice, all three people – Tesetan, Victor, and Aleric – turned their heads.

 

Tie quickly ran over to the tree, stared intently at Father, then,

 

“Hyap!”

 

She bumped her back against the tree trunk.

 

“…What are you doing?”

 

Aleric furrowed his brow, and

 

“Ha, hahaha!”

 

Victor burst into laughter.

 

Tie bumped her back against the tree trunk repeatedly while looking at Father with earnest eyes.

 

‘Remember! Let all the memories return to Father’s head, please…!’

 

When they were in South Korea.

 

Tie and Father used to climb Inwangsan every few weeks.

 

There was a game they often played then, which was,

 

“Uwah, it’s refreshing!”

 

Betting on how many grandfathers would be doing back exercises against trees at the mountain gym in the middle of the hiking course.

 

‘Hmm, Tie thinks three people today! Today there will probably be a grandfather in green clothes with his friends!’

 

‘Really? Then Father bets two people. One will be driving a car.’

 

Car driving was an exercise machine where you held a big steering wheel with both hands and spun it around.

 

Tie bumped her back against the tree while also pretending to spin a steering wheel with her hands.

 

While watching Father’s reaction, she swallowed nervously.

 

‘…Could it be?’

 

Would this method really work?

 

For some reason, Father was looking at Tie with a strange expression.

 

Tie was so nervous that she started doing back exercises even more enthusiastically.

 

She was sweating and her back was getting sore, but she couldn’t stop.

 

Because Father’s expression really seemed like he was remembering something!

 

However.

 

‘…Even at four years old, she’s still a sorcerer, I guess.’

 

Tesetan actually sighed inwardly.

 

That behavior of bumping her back against a perfectly fine tree.

 

‘That’s it. What appeared in my dream.’

 

The dream he had after the sword duel had mostly faded by now.

 

But he still clearly remembered those strange people who had been bumping their backs against trees.

 

‘It was such weird behavior that I remember it.’

 

But the Commander King was doing the exact same thing right before his eyes?

 

Tesetan shook his head and strode forward to stand in front of Tie.

 

He spoke seriously to the child who was looking up at him with bright, sparkling eyes.

 

“No matter how much of a necromancer you are.”

 

“….”

 

“You shouldn’t go around stealing peeks at other people’s dreams like that.”

 

Then he started to say something more but turned his body away.

 

Tie leaned against the tree trunk with her mouth hanging open in a daze.

 

Tesetan went back inside the house, and Victor approached with an intrigued expression.

 

“Danzu. What on earth was that?”

 

Tie barely managed to tear her gaze away from the closed door.

 

And she answered with a dejected look.

 

“Just, exercise….”

 

“Exercise?”

 

“Yes… This makes my back feel refreshed.”

 

Victor, who had been looking back and forth between the tree and Tie, also slammed his back against the tree with a thud.

 

Leaves rustled down and stuck to Tie’s hair, nose, and lips.

 

“Oh my. Danzu, are you alright?”

 

Tie spat out the leaves with ptui ptui sounds.

 

And with her lips pouting, she trudged back toward Agavert’s stronghold.

 

On the top of her head, a single leaf with yellowed edges was still stuck.

 

“Whoa! That’s refreshing!”

 

Several days later.

 

Under the giant willow tree located in Agaver’s backyard, unit members were lined up in a row.

 

“Come on, I’ve done twenty hits, so now it’s my turn!”

 

“Move to the side, to the side!”

 

Tie rested her chin in her hand with a blank expression, watching the unit members who were desperate to do back-hitting.

 

She had done this to stimulate Father so he would recover his memories.

 

But it was the unit members who were showing interest in back-hitting instead.

 

Tie recalled the countless efforts she had made over the past few days.

 

‘Th-that’s strange~? I suddenly want to eat twisted bread and old-style fried chicken!’

 

She had deliberately talked about snacks she had eaten in South Korea in front of Father,

 

‘A, B, C, D! E! F! G!’

 

She had also sung the alphabet song that she learned at preschool and used to sing for Father.

 

And that wasn’t all?

 

She had sung ‘Cool Tomato’ and ‘Cheer Up, Father’ and even hummed ‘Baby Shark’, but…!

 

‘Child, what’s old-style fried chicken? What is that thing that you keep wanting to eat? But don’t they have modern fried chicken? Don’t you want to eat that? Huh? Ha, hahaha!’

 

‘Ugh… Brother Veil is an idiot!’

 

The only one who showed interest in Tie’s actions was Veil.

 

Tie, who had grown tired of even Veil’s teasing, lay down on the mat with her arms and legs spread out like a starfish.

 

The sky was beautiful, and the smell of grass was fragrant.

 

The fallen leaves that had started dropping one by one since a few days ago were fluffy like colorful snowflakes.

 

But.

 

‘Lucalion doesn’t come home every day anymore….’

 

Tie let out another deep sigh with an “Ehuu” sound.

 

But then.

 

“Huh?”

 

A familiar face came into view against the backdrop of the sky.

 

Now that she looked, it was quiet around her.

 

Tie blinked her eyes and then smiled brightly.

 

The one looking down at her with gently curved eyes was,

 

“Association President?!”

 

The president of the Frost Association and the princess of this country.

 

A fellow powerhouse like Tie, Ardiana.
