A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 178

 

“The Association Leader?”

 

Aleric, who had finished changing into comfortable clothes, asked back.

 

When someone appeared to respond to her, Livia quickly ran over to Aleric.

 

“Hey! She asked me to share the barracks with her!”

 

Aleric furrowed his brow.

 

The Association Leader’s barracks had been assigned for single occupancy.

 

Due to the nature of mercenary groups and paladin orders, there were virtually no women.

 

“Didn’t Leonardo, who’s in charge of the Allied Forces, deliberately separate them? Considering that the Association Leader doesn’t reveal her face.”

 

“That’s what I’m saying!”

 

Livia smacked Aleric’s forearm with her fists.

 

“But she came earlier and asked to share the space. And then she took off her mask in front of me…!”

 

Tesetan froze up once again.

 

Livia lowered her voice and whispered.

 

“I really thought that woman wasn’t human.”

 

Victor made a “ho” sound and sat down on the cot.

 

“Is she that impressive?”

 

“Yeah. It was really unbelievable!”

 

Livia made exaggerated gestures as she ran her hands through her hair.

 

“Her hair reaches down to her waist and it’s like liquid gold!”

 

“Liquid?”

 

“That’s how much it shimmers! You think that’s all? Even when I could only see her eyes, I thought she’d be beautiful, but how can she be so pretty? My heart was racing even as a woman!”

 

Aleric let out a laugh.

 

He looked at Livia and asked.

 

“So. Do you know the reason why she wanted to share the barracks with you?”

 

“Huh? Oh, I don’t know.”

 

“Go to sleep.”

 

Aleric shook his head with an amused face and pushed Livia away.

 

Livia was helplessly pushed out while looking back desperately.

 

“You’re, you’re sending me out like this? Going to sleep already?”

 

“We have dawn reveille tomorrow. Don’t be late to the meeting again saying you’re sleepy, go sleep.”

 

“Aleric, you…!”

 

Eventually, Livia was pushed outside the barracks and fumed.

 

“Fussy! So fussy!”

 

Soon, angry heavy footsteps faded into the distance.

 

When the surroundings became quiet, Victor muttered.

 

“I wonder if the Association Leader is also a nobleman like the Danzu, no, the Regent.”

 

Aleric nodded as he got into his bed.

 

“There’s a high probability. Seeing how she deliberately doesn’t want to show her face.”

 

“But why did she show her face to Livia? Looking at her behavior so far, it seemed natural for her to use the barracks alone.”

 

Aleric closed his eyes gently.

 

“We can’t know. Maybe there was a reason she had no choice.”

 

Victor lay down and agreed.

 

“Right. Maybe she was afraid of using the barracks alone.”

 

Silence fell over the room.

 

A few minutes later, Tesetan, who had finished maintaining his weapons, got up from his seat.

 

He looked down at Aleric and Victor once, then lightly stepped outside the barracks.

 

Several tents installed in a circle around a central fire were visible at a glance.

 

Looking up, there were three layers of barriers surrounding the sky in a dome shape.

 

One was set up by Leonardo, another by Aleric with an orb, and the remaining one by Astie.

 

“Kieeek-”

 

Just then, a giant shadow quickly swept across the middle of the stronghold.

 

It was a flying monster that must have come from the Mastone 50 dios away beyond the barrier.

 

Tesetan muttered while looking at the rising moon.

 

“So it’s their active time.”

 

The monsters were only active at night.

 

This was exactly why the Allied Forces resumed their investigation from early morning.

 

Because that was the only way to investigate the Mastone without clashing with monsters.

 

He began to slowly circle the stronghold, feeling the wind that had started blowing fiercely.

 

He was going around the outside of the circularly installed barracks to check if there were any other dangerous elements in the vicinity.

 

However, he stopped in place before going far.

 

Tesetan’s gaze fell on a tent with its lights out.

 

“Interesting.”

 

Muttering, he raised the dagger he was holding and threw it quickly.

 

The dagger cut through the air with a swoosh sound and embedded in a small tree next to the tent with a thunk!

 

At the same time, the darkness became busy, and silence fell within a few seconds.

 

Tesetan slowly walked to the side of the tent.

 

His dagger was embedded in the tree, having pierced through an unfamiliar piece of cloth.

 

‘She asked me to share the barracks with her!’

 

Livia’s voice flashed through his mind.

 

Livia had said she didn’t know why the Association Leader had made such a proposal to her.

 

‘…It seems like it was because of this.’

 

Tesetan, who had pulled the cloth from the dagger, quietly furrowed his brow.

 

Soft, stretchy fabric made of flexible material.

 

It was exactly the same material as the special dark clothing that assassins wore on missions.

 

Tesetan silently looked at the tent next to him.

 

From beyond, a familiar sound, no, noise was coming.

 

It was the sound of Livia grinding her teeth as if the world was ending.

 

Tesetan thought quietly.

 

‘I should tell them tomorrow.’

 

If assassins had targeted this tent, they were definitely after the Association Leader.

 

There was absolutely no reason for Livia, who wasn’t even an executive anymore, to be assassinated.

 

Even if such a thing happened, it wouldn’t be Livia who should worry about death.

 

Listening to the grinding sound of teeth, Tesetan frowned.

 

‘Bring them back alive, don’t dismember them.’

 

He turned around and headed toward his tent.

 

The next day.

 

Tesetan occupied a seat in the meeting tent and secretly lifted the corners of his mouth.

 

“Good morning! Aunt Livia, good morning! Uncle Leonardo, good morniiing!”

 

The Commander King, who must have slept well, sat in the head seat with a bright face, waving to this person and that person.

 

And next to her,

 

“Sorry. I grind my teeth a bit. But it’s better than snoring, isn’t it?!”

 

There was the Association Leader, showing tired eyes while listening to Livia’s voice.

 

Her eyes were somehow sunken and hollow.

 

“Now, everyone should take their seats.”

 

At Nordics’ suggestion, the gathered people sat down one by one.

 

Leonardo, who was appointed as the commander of this allied force, also took his seat.

 

While he reviewed the meeting materials, Aleric whispered beside him.

 

“Look at that. The Commander King, no, our leader is quite unique.”

 

Tesetan silently stared at Aleric.

 

“It’s been several weeks since we merged the mercenary groups, yet he won’t show his true form. Well, I suppose it’s because he enjoys that…”

 

Where Aleric’s gaze fell, there was Astie, who had somehow ended up sitting on Basto’s lap, drawing pictures in a corner of the meeting materials.

 

Tesetan let out a short sigh inwardly.

 

‘I’ll have to tell them soon.’

 

He thought about revealing Astie’s identity, which he had recently discovered, to Victor, Livia, and Aleric as well.

 

The meeting ended before sunrise.

 

Not only did it not take long, but the starting time had been exceptionally early.

 

When Leonardo withdrew his holy power, a massive hole opened in the middle of the barrier.

 

It was in the direction of the clock tower wrapped in mastone.

 

Leonardo looked around at the Paladin Order with a serious expression.

 

“Because it’s around the mastone, we can’t use regular teleportation circles. So we’ll travel on foot and return to the stronghold by the time the sun starts to set at the latest.”

 

“Yes!”

 

Meanwhile, Agabert was also busy preparing.

 

“Are you sure I don’t need to go? You’re not taking Raul and Enzo either.”

 

Basto nodded at Veil’s uncertain voice.

 

“It’s just preliminary reconnaissance anyway. Since it’s a plant-type mastone, we’re only trying to confirm how far it has spread.”

 

“Still. When the Association Leader is going along, for me not to go…”

 

“You should conserve your strength. Since it takes a lot of time to travel, there’s no need to dispatch multiple people.”

 

Veil had no choice but to nod.

 

Tie waved her hand at Veil while being held in Basto’s arms.

 

“Big brother Veil! Tie will come back in the evening!”

 

“…Alright, so be careful, child. Always stay close to Basto.”

 

“Yeah! Tie is going to see if there are bone friends at the clock tower!”

 

Veil then stared at Ardiana, who was standing next to Livia.

 

“But why do you insist on going along? It looks like you didn’t sleep properly yesterday either.”

 

Ardiana looked back at Veil with tired eyes.

 

“I’m also part of the allied forces, so it’s only natural. Please take care of the stronghold.”

 

The Paladin Order began departing first from the front.

 

Since they had to travel on horseback, the unit members also mounted the horses in pairs.

 

Basto and Tie together.

 

Aleric and Livia together.

 

Victor, carrying supplies in preparation for any situation, took his turn sitting in the saddle,

 

“Aren’t you getting on?”

 

At Tesetan’s voice, Ardiana startled and looked up.

 

She pressed her lips together tightly, then climbed onto the saddle with an uncomfortable expression, hesitating.
