A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 238

 

“Ugh, uaaahhh!”

 

Agabert Stronghold Basement.

 

Jiheira’s screams echoed loudly from beyond the tightly closed wooden door.

 

“Save me! P-please save me!”

 

Tie, who had been listening to the screams, turned around with a dignified expression.

 

“It seems to be going well!”

 

When she spoke cheerfully, Raul and Enzo smiled awkwardly.

 

The other unit members also nodded hesitantly with frightened expressions.

 

Only Livia was grinning alone.

 

“As expected of our young lady. How can she conduct interrogations with such creative methods?”

 

Meanwhile, the conversation continued from inside.

 

[I died unjustly because of you-! You said we’d go to the North Continent, but instead of freedom, I’m eternally chained to the Underworld!]

 

Merkon’s voice was as loud as thunder on a stormy day.

 

Jiheira sobbed.

 

“Ugh, sob! I really didn’t know, Merkon! I never dreamed those guys would kill you!”

 

[Then who were they? Answer me!]

 

“Ahhh!”

 

[I can never forgive them! Because of those bastards, my eyes are in this state, and my whole body is pierced with arrows!]

 

“I-I’ll tell you!”

 

Jiheira screamed.

 

When the door opened slightly, she could be seen through the gap with a completely dazed expression.

 

“I-I’ll tell you everything, so please get that face away from me! Sob, damn it, I never thought there would really be vengeful spirits in this world…!”

 

Veil, who had been watching the situation, stared at Tie.

 

Tie met Veil’s eyes and nodded.

 

Looking down, she could see blue energy extending from her hands toward two different places.

 

One was Merkon’s vengeful spirit inside.

 

And the other was,

 

[Grrrr…]

 

Merkon’s corpse floating in the air, spewing bright blue flames from its eyes.

 

“…Ppyu!”

 

Ppupppu pressed his face against Tie’s cheek from the side.

 

Tie swallowed her saliva and answered quietly.

 

“Mm-hmm, it’s okay, Ppupppu. Mother isn’t scared at all.”

 

But contrary to her words, her heart was pounding and trembling.

 

Tie sighed and recalled what had happened a little while ago.

 

When they had just arrived at the stronghold with Jiheira trapped in subspace.

 

“What’s there to think about?! Drag her to the basement right now! I’ll strip the flesh from her bones one by one!”

 

“…Livia.”

 

“No, only we can pick fights with that Veil bastard! Only we can hit and curse at that guy! But some nobody dared to touch that guy’s siblings! Aleric, aren’t you angry?”

 

Livia fumed.

 

Tie looked around with a troubled expression at the menacing atmosphere spreading among the unit members.

 

“Let’s interrogate her ourselves first and then hand her over to the Imperial Army, Danzu! Please?!”

 

“No? We should extract the information and then bury her alive! What more would the Imperial Army do than let her rot in prison anyway?”

 

“That Jiheira killed a family from our hometown! This is a chance for Lady Livia to teach her a lesson…”

 

Tie shook her head back and forth.

 

“Sigh, they say when there are too many accidents, the ship goes up the mountain…”

 

Someone said to interrogate Jiheira.

 

Someone said to make her pay with her life.

 

Someone said to strip flesh from bones… anyway, even terrifying opinions.

 

It was when Tie was rolling her eyes.

 

“Child.”

 

The stronghold door opened and someone entered.

 

Tie’s expression brightened at the familiar face.

 

“Grandfather! Uncles!”

 

“Commander King, have you been well?”

 

Edmund, who approached in one step, lifted Tie up in his arms.

 

Leonardo and Alexander also patted Tie’s head.

 

Tie wrapped her arms around her eldest uncle’s neck and answered.

 

“Yes!”

 

However, she soon drooped her eyebrows and said.

 

“But I’m worried because we can’t unify our thoughts…”

 

“Unify thoughts? About what?”

 

“Well, everyone has different ideas about how to interrogate Jiheira…”

 

The three princes exchanged glances.

 

Valentis stepped forward.

 

“We actually came because of that, child.”

 

When Edmund put Tie down, Valentis took the child’s hand and led her toward the kitchen chairs.

 

Then he placed something on the table.

 

“Now, look at this.”

 

Tie’s eyes widened at the materials spread before her.

 

“Crime number… Jiheira?”

 

The materials Valentis brought were none other than information about Jiheira.

 

Information left about her activities and peculiarities when Jiheira committed crimes and escaped from prison.

 

“Look here.”

 

Valentis pointed specifically to one part among them.

 

“Suicide…? Suicide attempt!”

 

Tie covered her mouth with both hands after reading the words written there.

 

Though she was four years old, Tie knew what that meant.

 

Valentis said.

 

“Ordinary interrogation or torture might not work. She doesn’t seem to be an ordinary tough person.”

 

Valentis was right.

 

Jiheira had been planning an escape to the North Continent.

 

The reason was obvious.

 

She must have wanted to escape her fugitive status and find a new life.

 

‘But she got caught by Kamang and became a rat trapped in dung…!’

 

Those with nothing to lose were capable of doing anything.

 

Tie’s eyebrows drooped.

 

“Then what should we do?”

 

“What do you mean what should we do, young lady!”

 

Livia interjected.

 

“If it’s painfully excruciating, thoughts of death will disappear too! If you just leave it to me…”

 

“Livia, you come here.”

 

“Ahhh! Let go of this! Hey, let go, will you, Aleric?!”

 

Tie made a gloomy expression watching Livia being dragged away before her eyes.

 

Valentis also seemed deep in thought, silently looking down at the materials.

 

At that moment.

 

“…Huh?”

 

Suddenly, Tie saw something.

 

A warehouse set up in one corner of the kitchen.

 

Something was glinting from Merkon’s corpse, which had been placed there with nowhere else to put it.

 

Tie tilted her head.

 

“Veil oppa, did you see that?”

 

Veil, following Tie’s gaze, furrowed his brow.

 

“What?”

 

“The coachman is glowing!”

 

Veil closed his mouth.

 

He looked at Tie once, then strode toward Merkon’s corpse.

 

Then he said.

 

“There’s nothing here. What do you mean it’s glowing?”

 

Tie jumped up from her seat.

 

“No! Even now…!”

 

Contrary to Veil’s words, Tie could clearly see it.

 

A blue light gently emanating from the corpse.

 

Tie quickly ran to the front of Merkon.

 

“Look! Here, like this, blue steam is rising…!”

 

[Bury… me… please.]

 

At that moment, something like a small whisper pierced Tie’s ear.

 

Tie was startled and opened her eyes wide.

 

When she concentrated, the whisper became much clearer.

 

[I… must die… Jiheira is… certain.]

 

“Merkon is talking!”

 

When Tie turned around, everyone froze stiffly in place.

 

Veil, standing beside her, even stepped back in surprise.

 

But Tie could hear it clearly.

 

[Please… let me be buried… final words…]

 

The energy rippling from the corpse flowed toward Tie.

 

To Tie’s eyes, it looked like a hand reaching out, begging to be grasped.

 

“Tie. What are you talking about? Merkon is speaking?”

 

Instead of answering Basto’s question, Tie took a deep breath.

 

Then she closed her eyes tightly and concentrated.

 

The energy she drew up from within her body reached out toward Merkon.

 

The moment the two energies met in the air.

 

Merkon’s closed eyes snapped open and his body began to rise into the air.

 

“Aaaahhhhh!”

 

“D-Danzu, ahhh!”

 

At the sight they’d never seen before, several unit members grabbed each other tightly.

 

Livia, Aleric, and Victor also couldn’t take their eyes off Merkon’s corpse, their eyes wide with shock.

 

[Haah…]

 

White frost poured from dead Merkon’s mouth.

 

Then his neck twisted grotesquely as he stared at Tie.

 

[Lord of the Underworld… Jiheira… must tell… must go… must go…]

 

“Cr-crazy.”

 

Livia spat out a curse.

 

Among the unit members who couldn’t hide their shock, only Tie wasn’t frightened.

 

Tie, who had been blinking several times, muttered.

 

“…I see!”

 

Everyone stared at Tie.

 

Tie turned around with a somewhat mature expression.

 

“Merkon wants to talk to Jiheira!”

 

Veil turned around stiffly.

 

“Ch-Child. What on earth do you mean…”

 

“Tie thinks she can do it!”

 

Bone friends, and even subordinates.

 

This power she had honed continuously since becoming the Commander King could now be used even with her eyes closed.

 

Tie channeled strength into the magic flowing through her fingertips.

 

Then the radiance emanating from Merkon’s eyes became even stronger.

 

Following that, a bluish soul separated from his corpse.

 

The soul, projecting exactly how he looked at the moment of death, stood upright.

 

[Jiheira. I must find Jiheira.]

 

With a voice much clearer than before, the soul swept past the unit members.
