A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 212
Tie blinked her round eyes.
In front of her, Chaeboksu was busily moving her spoon.
“…It’s amazingly well-cooked.”
She scooped a spoonful of rice into the soybean paste soup.
Then she mixed it thoroughly before putting a large spoonful into her mouth.
Ever since Tie came to Korea, she had always barely touched her food.
But now, that same woman was finally having a proper meal.
Jeongmyeongja was equally surprised.
“Sister?”
Jeongmyeongja called out to Chaeboksu.
Instead of answering, Chaeboksu just stared at Jeongmyeongja quietly.
She was too busy concentrating on chewing her food.
This time, Chaeboksu reached her chopsticks toward the meat Tesetan had placed on her plate.
As she put a piece of juicy meat in her mouth, the taste her body remembered enveloped her tongue.
The soybean paste soup she had eaten earlier had a salty and savory flavor.
The well-cooked pork belly had a light, rich taste.
“How long has it been…”
Chaeboksu’s eyes reddened.
Tesetan smiled faintly and placed a few more pieces of meat on Chaeboksu’s plate.
“Please have more.”
Chaeboksu forgot about maintaining her dignity and kept putting meat in her mouth again and again.
Being able to move her jaw to chew.
Being able to taste food and swallow it down her throat – who knew such things could bring such joy.
“…Cough!”
She choked from eating too quickly and patted her chest.
But as soon as the coughing subsided, she took another spoonful of rice mixed in the soybean paste soup.
She remembered the past few weeks when she could barely swallow even rice porridge.
Having no appetite.
Not getting hungry easily – it was a hopeless and difficult thing.
“Something this delicious.”
Tears finally flowed from her eyes.
The more she chewed, the more full she felt, the more she realized that what she thought was impossible was really true.
“Grandmother, is it delicious?”
Tie tilted her head.
Chaeboksu smiled faintly, feeling overwhelmed with emotion.
“Yes. It’s so delicious that I’m crying.”
Tie’s eyes grew wide.
Even at this moment, Chaeboksu focused her senses on her changing physical condition.
‘Just from what I can see right now.’
There was no doubt.
Color had returned to her fingertips holding the utensils.
They say human intuition is the most frightening thing in the world.
She could instinctively feel that her broken body was being fixed piece by piece.
‘The bruise disappeared too.’
The large bruise on the back of her hand from moving a flower pot a few days ago had also vanished overnight.
Chaeboksu turned her gaze.
The day Jeongmyeongja’s husband had caused trouble.
She suddenly remembered that Jeongmyeongja had also gotten a large wound on her palm.
That day, the cut from the broken flower pot pieces looked like it needed several stitches at first glance.
But then Tie had done something strange,
“…”
And completely healed that wound of Jeongmyeongja’s too.
Jeongmyeongja, who had been quietly following Chaeboksu’s gaze, opened her lips.
“Sister, by any chance.”
“…”
“By any chance, is your stomach okay?”
On the surface, it was a simple question.
But Chaeboksu knew.
It was a question that implied so many things.
Chaeboksu pondered and then nodded.
“My goodness, my goodness…”
As if she finally understood.
Jeongmyeongja’s fingertips trembled.
While the two women couldn’t easily continue their conversation.
“Grandmother, eat this too.”
Perhaps imitating her father, Tie also placed something on Chaeboksu’s plate.
It was the stir-fried fish cake that Chaeboksu had made that morning.
“It’s twice as delicious when you eat it with meat!”
The stir-fried fish cake sprinkled with sesame seeds had always been Tie’s favorite side dish.
A smile formed on Chaeboksu’s lips.
She nodded, holding back tears that threatened to spill again.
Chaeboksu ate the stir-fried fish cake that Tie kept giving her three, four times over.
Her chest, her stomach.
The morning was passing filled with pleasant satisfaction.
The next day.
Tie slept in for the first time in a while.
It was because she had stayed up late the night before talking with Grandmother and Aunt.
Tie had told the two women everything that had happened in Talochium.
How Tie had become the Commander King.
The current situation where she was hiding her identity because she was powerful.
And how terrifying and prickly Father had been when he lost his memory.
Whenever that story came up, Grandmother would click her tongue and glare at Father.
203 Aunt, instead of blaming Father, kept stroking Tie’s head and back as if she felt sorry for her.
It was midnight that night when she released 203 Uncle from the subspace where she had confined him.
But strangely, 203 Uncle was half out of his mind when he came outside.
“S-save me! I’ll do anything, please!”
As soon as he came out of the subspace, he prostrated himself in front of Tie.
Behind him, the scattered minions were all giggling and laughing.
Tie instinctively realized.
‘I see!’
While trapped in the subspace, 203 Uncle must have had an amazing time with the minions.
‘I guess it was scary after all?’
The minions Tie summoned with her magic basically enjoyed bewitching or tormenting people.
Of course, she didn’t feel sorry for the uncle.
‘He bullied Aunt, so he deserved it.’
The adults had said.
Bad deeds always come back to the person who did them eventually.
So even if you live just one day, you must live it kindly and honestly.
“You say something! Huh?!”
However, Hammer remained a bad person to the end, even after being trapped in subspace and coming out.
He trembled in front of Tie, but as soon as he saw Aunt before his eyes, he immediately changed his attitude.
“Why did you drag other people into our business and create this mess?!”
Tie was at a loss for words.
However, Tie didn’t need to step forward herself.
“You still haven’t come to your senses.”
Father, who had been watching the situation from inside the room, stepped forward first.
Father, whose memories had been assimilated, had changed a lot in a short time.
His way of speaking had become much more similar to the father Tie remembered, and his attitude toward people had also changed.
Father liked 107 Grandmother and 203 Aunt.
Just by regaining his memories, his caring attention toward those two showed in his actions.
“One day was indeed not enough after all.”
Father, who had lifted Tie up and held her in his arms, looked down intently at 203 Uncle.
“Now that I think about it, keeping you locked up for a few years seems about right.”
Hammer’s complexion turned pale.
“Don’t be happy about getting out. I can send you back anytime I want.”
“What?! Why would I, I go there…!”
“It’s not impossible. Our daughter really likes Aunt, but you keep making her life miserable.”
Hammer looked back at 203 Aunt with trembling eyes.
That’s when it happened.
‘Kuk-‘
A small giggling sound was heard from behind.
Goosebumps rose along the man’s spine.
‘What a shame, it was nice when he was inside.’
Cold sweat began to form on his forehead too.
Someone whispered in his ear with a bizarre voice.
‘Can’t we take him back again?’
‘No. Master has to give permission.’
“Uh, uaaaah-!”
The man immediately shook his head and curled up his body.
That didn’t make the voices disappear though.
‘Let’s play with him. Let’s play with him. Let’s play with him.’
‘Toy. Toy. Toy.’
His body lost strength and his vision became blurry.
A fact he had naturally realized while trapped in that terrible space came to mind.
These ghosts called the little kid from downstairs ‘Master’ and followed and cared for her.
It was also this little kid from downstairs who had opened that strange space and locked him up for a full two days!
“Damn it… damn it…”
As he clenched his fists in frustration, a voice from behind his back said.
‘Should we just kill him?’
With the feeling of his heart sinking, the man jerked his head up.
Then he asked Tesetan with eyes that had lost all will.
“Wh-what do you want…!”
Tesetan lifted one corner of his mouth in a crooked smile.
“Now we can finally communicate.”
He turned his gaze toward Tie.
Then he instantly changed his expression to a very affectionate and warm face and said.
“Daughter, Hammer says he’ll do everything you tell him to do.”
“Yeah!”
“What should we have him do first? Do you have something in mind?”
