A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 215

 

Like a drop of ink falling onto paper, the subspace slowly spread and rippled.

 

[Tie-!]

 

At that moment, a familiar voice came from beyond the subspace.

 

Tie bolted upright from her seat.

 

“Kamang!”

 

Her voice was sucked into the subspace.

 

At the far end of the endlessly deepened subspace, something hazy like a mirage appeared.

 

Tie grabbed Tesetan’s arm and shook it.

 

“…Father! It’s our home!”

 

At the end of the incredibly long portal.

 

The familiar scenery of the stronghold’s 1st floor came into view.

 

[Child! Are you okay?!]

 

At the front of the gathered members, Veil shouted.

 

[Come over now! Hold the Regent’s hand tight and come over! Can you hear me? Hey?!]

 

Perhaps because he was anxious, Veil thrust his body into the portal.

 

Basto gasped and grabbed his shoulder.

 

Basto looked toward Tie and said.

 

[Tie, there’s nothing to be afraid of! It’s already a stabilized portal using your magic power!]

 

Tie’s eyelids trembled.

 

‘We weren’t even that far apart.’

 

Seeing the members’ faces again, it felt like all the tension in her body would completely melt away.

 

[Tie, it’s okay.]

 

Lucalion’s voice was heard again.

 

He stepped forward in front of the members and reached out his hand to Tie across the portal.

 

[It’ll be okay. Don’t be scared.]

 

Tie gulped and carefully stepped forward.

 

The subspace had already grown completely large and descended to the floor enough for Tie to step on.

 

As she stood in front, a gentle breeze brushed past her hair.

 

At that moment, she felt a warm touch on her hand.

 

Tesetan firmly grasped Tie’s hand and asked.

 

“Shall we go?”

 

Tie looked up at Father.

 

However, before nodding, she took one last look at Grandmother and Aunt who were sleeping soundly.

 

“Grandmother, Aunt.”

 

She only felt wistful, not sad at all.

 

The words she had said to Marbas came to mind.

 

‘This isn’t Tie’s home. This is like a bus stop where the preschool bus rests for a moment before going.’

 

Tie briefly let go of Father’s hand and went between the two sleeping people, crouching down.

 

“It was such a wonderful place.”

 

Tie murmured.

 

“When it was hot, cool breezes would blow…”

 

107 Grandmother who would always fan Tie during summer.

 

“When it was cold, sunlight would shine down.”

 

203 Aunt who had cared for Tie like an aunt, like a mother.

 

“It was such a wonderful place.”

 

However, Tie’s final destination was Talochium.

 

Having returned after so long, now she really had to head toward that place.

 

Tie wiped her eyes and smiled.

 

“Thank you for bringing Tie this far.”

 

The two people in the stopped time gave no answer.

 

But Tie bravely stood up from her spot.

 

Then she brought a sack she had prepared in advance from a corner of the room and placed it on Grandmother’s vanity.

 

She took Father’s hand again.

 

“Let’s go!”

 

Tesetan silently patted Tie’s head a few times.

 

The two stepped forward simultaneously.

 

Then light flashed from the open portal and the gust of wind suddenly stopped.

 

The clock in the darkened Apartment 107 began moving again.

 

Tick- tick-

 

“Myeongja…”

 

Chaeboksu slowly rose from her bedding.

 

She looked at the empty space beside her and said in a hollow voice.

 

“…They’re gone.”

 

In the spot where Tie and Tesetan had been lying, there were only neatly folded blankets and pillows.

 

“Sister, sob, sister…!”

 

Jeongmyeongja sobbed and embraced Chaeboksu.

 

Chaeboksu held back tears and roughly patted Jeongmyeongja’s back.

 

“It’s okay, it’s okay… It’s not like they left without saying anything.”

 

“How can we live feeling so empty now? How can we see her when we miss her!”

 

Chaeboksu couldn’t answer and kept her mouth shut.

 

She absentmindedly felt around the spot where Tie had been lying with her hand.

 

“This is really strange.”

 

That the 4 years they spent together felt like 40 years.

 

That child whose name and origin they didn’t know, that child who didn’t share a drop of blood with them.

 

That they could love her this much.

 

“Tie…”

 

Jeongmyeongja sniffled and spoke.

 

“Tie was so pretty.”

 

She took Chaeboksu’s hand.

 

“Even when she said just one word, she did it like an angel, and she was absolutely, absolutely impossible to hate.”

 

“Right? She’ll do well wherever she goes.”

 

“Of course. She’ll do well wherever she goes. No more hardships in strange lands, and with her father…”

 

Chaeboksu and Jeongmyeongja looked at each other and smiled with tear-filled faces.

 

The next day.

 

Perhaps because it had been so hectic, the two women could only discover the sack Tie had left on the vanity after the sun had risen.

 

Inside were plenty of gold coins and jewels that she hadn’t given them before.

 

“…This, in the end…”

 

Tears that fell down Chaeboksu’s cheeks wet the note that came out of the pouch one by one.

 

[【Letter from Tie to Grandmother and Aunt】

 

This isn’t anything bad, it’s all money Tie earned by working hard.

 

If you take it to Toad Goldsmith, he won’t ask anything and will exchange it for money.

 

Because Tie used magic to enchant Toad Goldsmith like a nine-tailed fox. (Marbas insists I mention that he helped too)]

 

The child’s handwriting was crooked.

 

There were clear traces of erasing and rewriting the wrong parts in between with an eraser.

 

[Grandmother, Aunt, please don’t get sick. Please stay healthy and strong even without Tie. Tie will be healthy too.]

 

The period sitting alone at the end of the paper was so precious that Chaeboksu swallowed her sobs again and again.

 

The contemplation was long.

 

The two people first carefully placed the valuables Tie had left behind in the deepest part of the dresser.

 

Because they couldn’t bring themselves to use them right away.

 

In the afternoon, the two people headed together to the nearby university hospital that Chaeboksu used to visit.

 

But from that day on, there was no need for the two to return to the hospital again.

 

For a very long time.

 

“Woo woo woo-”

 

Tie pounded Basto’s chest with her fists, pang, pang.

 

“Woo woo, can’t breathe…!”

 

Only then did Basto pull Tie away from his embrace.

 

He said with a tearful expression.

 

“S-sorry.”

 

Tie quickly showed him a bright smile.

 

“It’s okay!”

 

Then she instead gave Basto a tight hug.

 

At that moment, someone separated Basto and Astie.

 

“Child! What about me!”

 

It was Veil with bloodshot red eyes.

 

Tie tilted her head.

 

“Brother Veil, are you crying?”

 

“Crying? What would I be crying about!”

 

Veil knelt down on the floor.

 

Then he pulled Tie into his arms and buried his face in the child’s hair.

 

“You… you went back to your original world, didn’t you.”

 

Tie held her breath.

 

“So I thought maybe you, child!”

 

“…”

 

“I thought you went and wouldn’t come back again…”

 

Tie blinked, at a loss for words.

 

After hearing Veil’s words, she could feel it.

 

The faint trembling being transmitted through his arms.

 

Tie hesitated, then hugged Veil back tightly like she had done with Basto.

 

“Brother Veil, of course Tie will come back.”

 

Veil pulled away from Tie.

 

His navy blue eyes stared directly into the child’s green eyes.

 

“Is that so…?”

 

“Yes! Tie is the leader! I even wrote a pledge!”

 

Veil closed his mouth.

 

He recalled the contract he had forced the child to write when they first formed the mercenary group.

 

“Third, withdrawal restrictions!”

 

Tie recited the third clause of the pledge fluently.

 

“Tie cannot leave the mercenary group without the executives’ permission! Absolutely! Under no circumstances!”

 

Veil’s eyes trembled.

 

Unable to hold back, he pulled the child into his arms once more.

 

“I just made you write it. You know that.”

 

“Mm-hmm, I know.”

 

“It’s not because of the pledge. You can break that kind of thing anytime. I just…”

 

“Mm-hmm. I know it’s all because Brother Veil likes Tie so, so much.”

 

Laughter finally burst from Veil’s lips.

 

Then Tie looked around and asked in a puzzled voice.

 

“But where is Nordics Grandfather?”

 

Raul and Enzo, Livia and Aleric, even Victor.

 

All the members were gathered, but only Nordics was nowhere to be seen.

 

Tie came out of Veil’s embrace and ran quickly to the kitchen.

 

“Grandfather!”

 

Then just in case, she ran up to the 2nd floor as well.

 

“Nordics Grandfather!”

 

But Nordics was nowhere to be found.

 

“…Strange?”

 

There was no way Grandfather, who cherished Tie more than anyone, would be absent on the day Tie returned.

 

No, wait.

 

Nordics was someone who never left the stronghold alone in the first place.

 

“Tie.”

 

Then Basto approached and carefully grabbed Tie’s shoulder.

 

Tie turned around with an anxious face.

 

Basto, who had been hesitating, opened his lips with a serious voice.

 

“Nordics Grandfather has gone missing.”

 

Tie briefly stopped breathing.

 

“On the day the Day of Destruction opened. The day you returned to Jongno-gu.”

 

“…”

 

“He disappeared from that day.”
