A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 218

 

“Wow, Marshal! This is delicious! When would we ever get to eat high-class snacks like Reminet? Hahaha!”

 

“Rio! Why don’t you get me another bowl too!”

 

“Don’t you have hands?! Go get it yourself!”

 

Inside the dining hall bustling with unit members for the first time in a while.

 

“…Ehuu.”

 

Suddenly, a small sigh echoed through the air.

 

The dining hall fell quiet as if it had never been noisy.

 

Livia, who had been taking a big spoonful of Marshal’s homemade pudding, also paused and looked down.

 

The seat next to her.

 

She could see Tie’s face, pouting with her lips pushed out while swinging her legs back and forth.

 

“Miss, are you okay?”

 

When Livia asked, Tie lifted her dejected face.

 

The child puffed out her cheeks and shook her head.

 

“No. Not at all.”

 

Livia put down her spoon.

 

She roughly chewed and swallowed the pudding filling her mouth, then hurriedly got down from her chair.

 

“Why aren’t you okay! Who bothered you again! Tell me right now! I’ll go and completely dismantle their internal organs…! Mmph.”

 

Aleric appeared from somewhere and covered Livia’s mouth.

 

“Can’t you be more careful with your words and actions in front of Miss, Livia?”

 

“Mmph mmph. What did I do!”

 

“Dismantle and whatnot, is that something to say in front of Miss? Even if you didn’t know the situation before, now you know Miss is Miss. So you should be more considerate.”

 

“That’s!”

 

Then Victor stood up from his seat.

 

When he gestured to the unit members who were eating pudding, everyone gathered in the dining hall stood up.

 

“Come on, come on. Let’s go outside to eat.”

 

“Right, Aunt. I just want one more bowl here…”

 

As the unit members filed out in a crowd, the dining hall became empty.

 

The only ones remaining were the executives, Marshal, and Tie.

 

“Tch, what did I even do…”

 

Livia grumbled and plopped down in her seat.

 

Feeling awkward, she looked around at the empty seats once.

 

Within Agabert, Tie’s situation wasn’t completely kept secret.

 

However, when sensitive topics like this came up, Victor or Basto would clear the surroundings.

 

“We should also pay attention to Miss’s education. Though she’s already wonderful now.”

 

Aleric said while looking at Tie with eyes dripping with honey.

 

“Ah, I get it! I get it!”

 

Livia raised her voice unnecessarily, then looked at Tie again.

 

Tie was still sitting in her chair with a gloomy expression, swinging her legs back and forth.

 

“Miss. Is it because of that old geezer?”

 

When Livia asked subtly, Tie looked up.

 

The child pressed her lips tightly together before answering.

 

“…He’s not an old geezer. He’s Nordics Grandfather.”

 

“Ha, I’m going crazy! Child. That old man betrayed us, you know?”

 

At that moment, Veil stepped between Tie and Livia.

 

“Can’t you see? When we were all about to die there at the Clock Tower, he just ran away!”

 

“No!”

 

Veil hesitated and stepped back.

 

Tie jumped down from her chair and shouted with tears welling up in her eyes.

 

“Nordics Grandfather didn’t run away! Long ago, when Tie was almost hurt by a Tyrannosaurus monster, he saved me!”

 

The child’s tightly clenched fists trembled.

 

“And all this time, how much he… *hiccup* How much!”

 

Unable to continue her words, the child huffed angrily before making a ‘wahhh’ sound and sitting down on the floor.

 

“Veil. That’s why I told you! Ha, never mind.”

 

Basto approached and picked up Tie while glaring at Veil.

 

Veil hesitated and closed his mouth.

 

However, his expression remained hardened.

 

After some silence passed, Veil spoke in a much lower voice.

 

“Do you think I like doing this?”

 

Basto stared at Veil.

 

In his arms, Tie was still sniffling and crying.

 

“I get furious inside just thinking about that old geezer too! That old man, didn’t he know everything?! That we’d be called to the Central Continent, that the Order villains’ attention would focus on the child! So he ran away!”

 

Basto sighed.

 

However, even he couldn’t easily deny Veil’s words.

 

“He was always an unpleasant old man. Always pretending to be rational by himself, does age alone make you everything!”

 

Veil irritably threw the handkerchief he was holding onto the table.

 

“If he was going to leave like that, he shouldn’t have been nice to the child! This fool doesn’t know anything and keeps waiting! Even when we tell her, huh?! Even when we tell her that old man is a traitor, she won’t listen!”

 

“Wahhhh!”

 

Tie began crying even more pitifully.

 

“I’m done too! Whether she stays dejected like that forever or not!”

 

The dining hall’s swing door opened and then slammed shut.

 

Basto sighed, and Livia clicked her tongue.

 

“That one is really something the more you look at him. How can his personality be so nasty? Even a Bleacher rolling around on the streets would be gentler than him!”

 

Basto looked up.

 

“He’s like that because he’s hurt too.”

 

Livia’s eyes widened as she hadn’t expected Basto to defend Veil.

 

“Even though he always called him old man or grandpa. Veil liked Nordics Elder.”

 

“Well, that’s… probably true.”

 

Actually, she knew too.

 

That Nordics was a founding member of Agabert and a unit member very close to Tie.

 

“Miss. It’s okay. Originally in life, people come and go.”

 

Livia approached and took Tie from Basto’s arms.

 

Tie looked up at Livia with teary eyes.

 

“Human life isn’t much, right? You need to know how to send people off well to be able to welcome new people too.”

 

“But…!”

 

“It’s okay, it’s okay! Stop crying!”

 

Livia gently wiped around Tie’s eyes.

 

Then she smiled brightly as if to change the mood and asked.

 

“In that spirit, shall we finish the pudding?”

 

Tie, who had been pouting, nodded her head.

 

However, the child who was getting down from Livia’s arms soon paused.

 

A familiar face was entering through the dining hall door that had opened again.

 

“Father!”

 

Smiling brightly, the child ran toward the entrance.

 

Tesetan, who had just opened the door and entered, lightly caught and hugged Tie.

 

“Our princess, were you having snacks?”

 

Giggles burst from Tie’s mouth at the sight of Tesetan speaking while showering her cheeks with kisses.

 

“Yes! Aunt Marshal made pudding, so I ate it together with all the unit members!”

 

“Good job.”

 

“Mm-hmm!”

 

“Then since I’m hungry too….”

 

Giggling, Tie naturally followed Tesetan’s gaze and opened her eyes wide.

 

“Huh?”

 

Come to think of it.

 

Father was still holding the dining hall door with one hand.

 

Behind him, she could see four people standing awkwardly.

 

Tie’s eyes slowly grew large.

 

“…Commander King?”

 

It was Valentis and the three princes of Luminen.

 

“Uh, uhh….”

 

Tesetan set Tie down on the floor.

 

However, Tie couldn’t readily approach Valentis and fidgeted with her hands in place.

 

Her eyes were busy looking back at Father behind her.

 

“F-Father.”

 

Tie called out to Tesetan with an uncertain voice.

 

“Did you tell Commander King?”

 

However, Tesetan gave no answer.

 

He only looked down at Tie with a faint smile.

 

Tie restlessly tugged at Tesetan’s clothes.

 

Then she covered her mouth with her hand and whispered in his ear.

 

“Did Father tell Commander King that Tie is his granddaughter?”

 

At this moment, the child’s mind was spinning round and round.

 

‘If Father told him, did Commander King come to see Tie?’

 

They were already close to begin with.

 

Now that he knows she’s his granddaughter, would he treat her more affectionately?

 

‘No. She’s a granddaughter who suddenly appeared, so he might be embarrassed and want to run away again.’

 

It was when Tie, who had been continuing her serious worries, reluctantly turned to look at Valentis.

 

“…From the first time I saw you.”

 

Suddenly, large and firm arms pulled Tie into an embrace.

 

Tie blinked as she looked at Valentis, who had approached silently and hugged her.

 

“Strangely… I strangely wanted to hold you.”

 

Valentis stroked Tie’s head and back again and again.

 

“Somehow I felt affectionate. Somehow you seemed to overlap….”

 

Tie turned her head at the warm something touching her shoulder.

 

Tears were flowing down the cheeks of Valentis, famous for being expressionless.

 

Valentis whispered in a voice that seemed about to break.

 

“You came well, you came well. You came so very well….”

 

“….”

 

“Little one.”
