A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 209
Tie was so surprised that she gulped down her saliva.
‘Gasp, what Marul said is true!’
She had been so delighted talking about old times with Father that she had forgotten.
When she looked up, she could see an orb slowly floating through the air.
The orb was circling precisely above Tie’s head, sparkling with a golden light.
[Just this morning it was woefully insufficient! But the harmonium is already filled this much! As expected of Master! Tremendous magical power! An inexhaustible force no matter how much is drawn!]
Tie tilted her head and answered.
“Maybe it’s not that, but because the harmonium is small?”
Of course, Marul had told her from the beginning.
It would take about two weeks to fully fill the harmonium.
‘But the orb is really tiny.’
It was natural that the time needed to fill a water cup was different from filling a water bottle.
‘A water bottle takes a really long time to hold, but a water cup fills up quickly!’
Having finished her thoughts, Tie opened her mouth consolingly.
“You know, Marul. It’s okay. Even Marul can make calculation mistakes. Maybe it was supposed to fill up quickly from the start?”
Marul’s eyes widened.
He twitched his wood grain as if dumbfounded, then burst out with a hollow laugh.
[Master!]
“Mm?”
[This Marbas, though now trapped in a lowly shell! Was once like a pillar of the Iburanis Dynasty!]
“…Uh, uhuh.”
[Iburanis isn’t called the most prosperous dynasty in the world to this day for no reason! How could that have happened without cause?! All of it, everything! Was thanks to me!]
“Uhhuh!”
[Me, make a calculation error? A mistake?]
Marbas lifted his head all the way to the sky.
Then he made another “Ha!” sound.
[I don’t know how you’ll take this. But I’m a being who couldn’t make mistakes even if I wanted to! Because I’m too perfect!]
Tie blinked her eyes.
A small laugh finally escaped from Tesetan’s mouth as he watched.
He gently patted the quietly sitting Tie’s crown and crossed his arms.
Marbas shook his head and continued speaking.
[The harmonium, you see, despite its small size, is a device with very complex and delicate expansion barriers designed inside.]
“R-really?”
[Of course! To pass through dimensional gates stably, wouldn’t that level of precision be necessary?]
Tie recalled what Marbas had told her before.
Then she raised one hand high.
“I remembered!”
[What exactly are you remembering?]
“When the orb is full, Marul will take it and return through the subspace portal!”
Marul made an “Oh” sound.
[Exactly. When I take Master’s magical power contained in the harmonium back to Talochium, Lord Lucalion will use it to strengthen the portal.]
“…”
[Then the portal will become much more stable than now. Stable enough for even a great mage with tremendous magical power like Master to pass through without difficulty.]
“Uhuh.”
[Then at that time! We’ll summon Master from the Talochium side. By opening the portal.]
“Mm…”
[Then Master can take that portal and return to Talochium. I guarantee it will be more cozy and comfortable than you can imagine.]
Tie rolled her eyes around.
‘So to put it simply.’
The child’s gaze turned to the orb above.
They said it would take two weeks.
But in just two days, the harmonium was nearly half full.
‘When the harmonium is completely full, Tie has to go back.’
She felt strange.
Actually, she couldn’t understand why the orb had filled so quickly.
Was it because she had used great power in South Korea?
She had released a lot of magical power to trap the bad man who was bothering 203 Aunt in subspace.
‘I also took out lots and lots of gold coins from the Aspace Warehouse…’
Thinking of gold coins suddenly reminded her of last night.
The image of 107 Grandmother coldly sending her upstairs.
When Tie’s expression became gloomy, Marbas immediately tilted his head.
Seeing this, Tesetan, who had been leaning against the wall, quickly bent his waist.
Seeing the child’s pouting lips, he hurriedly took Tie into his arms.
“Why are your lips pouting again?”
Tie made a whining sound and hugged Tesetan.
“…Yesterday Grandmother got angry at Tie.”
Tesetan paused.
He too was reminded of last night’s events.
Tesetan fell into thought.
‘I thought she was being unnecessarily cold to the child.’
Until yesterday, he hadn’t known anything.
But now that his memories had merged, he could somewhat understand Chaeboksu’s behavior.
Tesetan called Tie affectionately.
“Daughter, look at Father.”
The child lifted her large eyes.
Just moments ago she had been laughing happily.
In her blinking green eyes, sorrow was now thickly layered.
“Princess knows too, right? That Grandmother is sick.”
Her triangular mouth closed.
Tie, who had been fidgeting with her fingers, nodded slightly.
“…Yes. She’s sick like the grandmothers on TV commercials.”
Wearing a hat on her head.
Constantly coughing.
Always smelling of medicine from her body,
“She lost all her weight too…”
On the first day.
She had thought the blood vessels protruding on the back of her hands seemed somehow more prominent.
That wasn’t her imagination.
When Tie hung her head low, Tesetan caressed the child’s cheek.
“But she says it doesn’t hurt much. Just a little.”
Tie looked up.
“Really…?”
“Yes, but she didn’t want to say it because she was worried our princess might worry.”
Tie’s heart beat rapidly.
If Grandmother wasn’t in much pain.
Being cold to Tie was perfectly fine.
“Then can Grandmother get better?”
“Mm.”
Tesetan stopped speaking and pondered.
In fact, the illness he had heard about from Chaeboksu was still difficult even with the medical knowledge of this place.
It could be treatable, or it could be difficult.
‘But if my prediction is correct.’
Tesetan smiled slightly.
“Yes, she’ll get better.”
Tie’s eyes grew wide.
The child who had been moving her lips jumped up from her seat.
Tie took a deep breath and asked again.
“Really? Really, really?”
“Yes.”
Tesetan answered as he hugged the child again.
Tie made a whining sound as she emerged from Tesetan’s embrace and puffed out her cheeks.
“Father, Tie is not joking right now!”
Tesetan covered his mouth and chuckled.
He knew the situation was serious.
But only one thought came to his mind at this moment.
Adorable.
She was so precious and dear that he didn’t want to let her out of his arms for even a moment.
So in one way, he was surprised.
‘…She was such a big presence.’
Until he had Tie.
He had never even imagined that he would feel such emotions.
“Anyway, what Father wants to say is.”
Tesetan pulled the squirming child back into his arms and showered kisses on Tie’s cheek.
“Grandmother didn’t tell you because she was worried our daughter would worry like this. And.”
“…”
“Yesterday’s cold behavior might be similar to that feeling, don’t you think?”
Tie, who peeked her head out from Tesetan’s embrace, frowned.
“Similar feeling? What’s similar?”
Tesetan brushed the stray hair that had fallen on the child’s forehead behind her ear.
“Grandmother doesn’t want to be a burden to Tie.”
“Burden?”
“Yes. Being a burden means causing someone to feel sorry.”
“It’s too difficult…”
Tesetan took the child’s hand.
“It’s naturally difficult. Does Tie like it when other people have a hard time because of her?”
Tie closed her mouth and shook her head.
“…I don’t like it.”
How could that be good?
After hearing Father’s words, Tie also remembered something.
‘Tie has also worried a lot about being a burden until now.’
In South Korea, she worried about making Grandmother, Father, and Aunt struggle.
In Talochium, she worried about making Basto, Veil, and the surrounding unit members struggle.
“Grandmother is the same.”
Father said.
“She doesn’t like the idea of Tie having a hard time because of her.”
Tie tilted her head.
