A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 205
Tesetan looked at the squirming baby and thought.
‘…So small.’
How should he hold such a small life?
Fear, wonder, and unfamiliarity mixed together, making his head ring.
“I know it’s contradictory.”
A voice came from across the room.
When he looked up, he saw Ardiana with her gaunt face.
Ardiana spoke with a cracked voice.
“I never properly held her even once. So you should…”
Unable to finish her words, her cold blue eyes gazed at Tesetan for a long time.
As if she couldn’t bring herself to face the child’s face.
“I’m leaving.”
Ardiana turned her back.
He didn’t even have a chance to call out to her.
When he came to his senses, a small, warm child was already fidgeting in his arms.
The scene changed once again.
“I told you, didn’t I? I said the leader had a woman!”
In front of the fireplace.
Behind Tesetan, who sat silently, Livia shouted.
“Look at this! So all this time it was because you got dumped by a woman?! I thought there was some unspeakable story! I thought you had some painful past or something, damn it!”
“…”
“You became a corpse for half a year just because you failed at some love game that everyone else does?! And now you come back…!”
Livia roughly tousled her own hair.
“With a baby in tow?! Are you seriously insane? What the hell are you trying to do?!”
Aleric, who was beside her, let out a sigh.
“Stop it, Livia.”
“Stop what?! Don’t you understand what situation this is? What kind of crazy mercenary group travels around with a newborn!”
“…Depending on the situation, there could be a newborn.”
“Depending on the situation my ass! Who’s going to take responsibility for that child now? The leader, that man, he’s someone who stands there blankly in front of monsters! He’s someone who just stares blankly whether they slice or tear his neck off!”
“We can provide cover for him.”
“Cover has its limits! How can we cover someone who walks around out of his mind?! If it’s going to be like this, just disband the mercenary group!”
Silence fell over the stronghold.
All the members’ expressions became complicated without exception.
Livia lamented.
“How are we going to raise her? How the hell are we going to raise a child!”
“…”
“Isn’t the child’s mother crazy too? What kind of insane woman sends her child to a mercenary group? Is only our leader the father?! Isn’t she the mother?! Ah, I really want to see her face once!”
That’s when it happened.
“Waaaaaah-!”
A child’s crying burst out from the armchair piled high with blankets.
Livia gasped and shut her mouth.
“Waaah! Waaaaaah!”
The child cried pitifully.
With a flustered expression, Livia looked back at Aleric.
“Was, was my voice too loud?”
Aleric let out another sigh.
At that moment.
Tesetan, who had been staring only at the firewood, stood up from his seat.
“…Whatever the case, I’ll raise her.”
He walked toward the armchair.
As soon as he picked her up, the child immediately stopped crying.
Tesetan looked back at the officers.
“My situation is better than that person’s. So I’ll raise her.”
Livia let out a hollow laugh as if dumbfounded.
“Her name is Astie.”
Tesetan held the child out in front of her.
Livia, looking down at the child, slowly closed her lips.
“Da, daaaa…”
A green universe was floating above her face.
As if she wanted to place her inside it and remember her for a long time.
“Crazy…”
A curse word slipped out of her mouth without her realizing it.
Livia creakily turned to look at Aleric and Victor.
“Why, why is the child so pretty?”
“Ha, Livia. Watch your language.”
“Were children always this cute? Or is she pretty because she’s the leader’s daughter…? The leader is quite handsome.”
“Livia.”
“No, look! What is this child…!”
Hesitating, Livia took Tie and held her.
The child wrinkled her white brow and rolled her eyes this way and that.
“…Ooh!”
Then she looked at Livia and burst into giggles.
Livia’s expression finally completely crumbled.
“Haah… Why does she smell so good too…”
Aleric burst into laughter.
Victor also poked Livia with a curious expression.
“Let me have her. Let me hold her too.”
However, Livia’s eyes widened as she glared at Victor.
“What do you mean ‘let me have her’! Huh?! To the young lady!”
“Suddenly young lady?”
“The leader is raising her! If she’s the leader’s daughter, she’s our superior! Use proper titles, unless you want to get hit by me.”
As the atmosphere lightened, laughter erupted here and there.
The scene changed once again.
Time was accumulating more honestly than anything else in the world.
“Aack! The young lady threw up again!”
“…Why are you telling me that?”
“Because you’re going to clean it up?”
“Why can’t you clean it up?”
“Because I have to wipe around the young lady’s mouth and hold her tight?”
“You really…”
“But you know, Aleric, whenever I see you like this, I find it fresh and nice.”
“…”
“You know? My ideal type is men who are good at childcare and housework.”
“…”
“When I see you like this, I really think you’re too good to keep just as a colleague.”
“Pointless talk.”
Astie grew day by day.
Within a few weeks, his face had shed its newborn baby look, and his babbling increased daily.
Astie was a baby who smiled well.
No matter who it was, he would readily make eye contact and smile brightly.
There was no one in the mercenary group who disliked that.
“Victor. What did you buy this time? Don’t tell me all of this is for the young miss?”
“Yeah.”
“Didn’t you hear what Danzu said? That the young miss’s room is about to burst. He said not to buy random things without reason anymore.”
“There’s a reason. It’s all necessary stuff.”
“A drum that street musicians use?”
“She’ll probably play it when she’s around five. It’s a birthday present for that year.”
“What about the children’s saddle.”
“…Maybe a seventh birthday present?”
“There’s even a silver crystal pacifier. Isn’t this expensive?”
“They said there was only one left, so I had to buy it.”
The unit members had been preparing Tie’s first birthday present for half a year, no, almost 10 months.
“Danzu! Is it true that you’re buying a house in Elderin Plains?!”
“Yeah. I can’t keep doing this job with Tie around.”
“Crazy, then I want to live there too!”
“…I’d like to decline.”
Tesetan also had his own plans.
Since he couldn’t continue mercenary life with Tie, his plan was to settle down somewhere safe with the child.
“So I’m thinking of clearing out the mastones over there in advance.”
“That’s obviously the right thing to do! If we siege them in advance, there won’t be any headaches later, how great is that? When are we going?”
Still tiny now, but when Astie turns about one year old.
When he can say real words like ‘Father’ or ‘Uncle’, ‘Aunt’ instead of simple babbling.
When he can toddle around.
“It would be nice to make a yard, planting lots of flowers and such! But might it be a bit dangerous? I heard kids just pluck and eat grass and stuff.”
“I’m going to buy the entire plains, so a yard won’t be necessary.”
“The entire Elderin Plains?!”
“There’s no reason I can’t buy it.”
“…Danzu. All that crazy work you’ve been doing will have been worth it, huh?”
Tesetan was definitely excited, and everyone in the mercenary group knew that fact.
Actually, that made it all the more tragic.
“Nice weather. Perfect weather for sieging mastones.”
“The young miss is up in the ravine, right? With Victor?”
Elderin Plains.
The ravine that stretched long beneath it.
On that day when everyone had set out to an unsiege medium-sized mastone.
“Danzu! The Day of Ruin is…!”
Of all times, the curse that made demons rampage even during the day had returned.
“The ravine has collapsed! Take cover!”
The storm that followed brought fierce winds, and part of the ravine crumbled down.
“Victor…! Why are you here!”
“It’s full of demons up there too! Because of the flying demons, the lower area is actually…”
It was a day that was expected to be meaningful.
According to plan, Astie should have been waiting for the unit members in a safe cabin above the plains.
But,
“…Astie.”
In the middle of the place that had been changed at the last moment.
Tesetan regained consciousness.
The countless scenes he had observed without a body had also reached their end.
“…Astie!”
The surroundings were completely filled with corpses.
Above the pile of his comrades’ corpses, he found himself bound by demons, staring at somewhere.
There was a baby wrapped in cloth, crying.
“Kieeeeeeek-!”
The next moment, a dragon landed in front of Astie, creating a whirlwind.
A jet-black body, red crimson eyes.
Tesetan knew the dragon’s identity.
He was unmistakably Lucalion.
