A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 239

 

Behind Merkon’s departing spirit, Tie hopped up and down.

 

“Tie’s another super strong technique! Temporarily come back to life!”

 

Marbas shouted.

 

[A dead soul! And to manifest the spirit of one who died recently enough to retain their reason!]

 

He turned to look at Ppupppu.

 

[Lord Ppupppu, doesn’t this seem like it will be useful going forward?! Until now we could only command miscellaneous souls wandering the Underworld, but this-!]

 

“…Kyuut.”

 

Ppupppu nodded his head.

 

Marbas’s words were correct.

 

Most of the spirits Tie had summoned so far were souls wandering the Underworld.

 

Because they had died so long ago, they didn’t know who they were, where they came from, or how they died.

 

The only thing they seemed to remember was the fact that they had to submit to Tie, the ‘master of the Underworld.’

 

‘But if she can raise corpses that haven’t been dead long and converse with them?’

 

Ppupppu stroked his trembling trunk with his front paw and leaned his cheek against Tie.

 

‘There will be many useful applications. Even just this time.’

 

Tie giggled and said.

 

“Ppuppa, isn’t Mother amazing? Temporarily come back to life. Grandfather, it’s the temporarily come back to life technique!”

 

The child ran to Valentis and began chattering away.

 

“What Tie did was, she helped the ghost stuck in the Coachman’s body come out! It was stuck there like underwear caught in a dresser!”

 

“…Huh.”

 

“But see? The ghost wanted to come out but couldn’t, and Tie was going to interrogate the ghost, so it was killing two birds with one stone!”

 

Tie puffed out her chest.

 

However, the child who had turned around with a pleased expression soon opened her eyes wide.

 

[Ji… heira…]

 

Over there.

 

She could see Merkon’s soul spinning in circles, unable to move far from Tie.

 

Tie clapped her hands together by herself.

 

“I got it!”

 

Tie hurriedly ran to Merkon’s soul and infused it with magical power.

 

“It seems the ghost can’t do anything without Tie!”

 

Magical power flowed into Merkon’s soul like a rushing stream.

 

Veil gulped.

 

“What, this chill…”

 

As he said, the chill spreading around the ghost suddenly intensified.

 

And then,

 

“It’s gone! It seems to be heading to the basement where Jiheira is imprisoned!”

 

As the unit members said, the soul disappeared toward the basement where Jiheira was confined.

 

“Let’s follow it!”

 

Tie quickly chased after it.

 

The remaining unit members exchanged glances and followed behind.

 

When they went down to the basement, Tie was already pressing her ear tightly against the basement door.

 

Perhaps to smoothly supply magical power to the spirit, two streams of magical power extended from the child’s body.

 

One connected to Merkon’s soul, one to his physical body upstairs.

 

[Jiheira-!]

 

Then a thunderous roar came from inside.

 

Veil jumped in surprise and looked at Tie.

 

“Ch, Child. Just how much magical power did you give it? That coachman spirit or whatever has become a monster!”

 

“I didn’t give it much? Just a tiny bit more than I give my other subordinates.”

 

Veil pressed his throbbing forehead.

 

He stared into the basement where the door was slightly open.

 

Merkon was threatening Jiheira while spewing blue flames from his entire body.

 

[I died unjustly because of you!]

 

Veil shuddered.

 

“His resentment is incredible. He looks ready to devour Jiheira.”

 

At those words, Tie looked up.

 

The child said with wide eyes.

 

“But Veil oppa, the Coachman doesn’t have any resentment. He was just a little curious.”

 

“What are you talking about? Can’t you see that guy’s eyes blazing blue with anger right now? If that’s not resentment…”

 

“Ah, that’s because Tie told him to do it.”

 

At those words, everyone’s gaze focused on Tie.

 

Tie, with her hands on her hips, let out a big sigh.

 

“Veil oppa. Tie always told you to pay attention to what other people say. What did Tie say upstairs earlier?”

 

“…”

 

“I said I was going to use the ghost to interrogate. What do you have to do to interrogate?”

 

“…”

 

“You have to be scary, really scary! Like a tiger!”

 

Tie’s eyes sparkled.

 

At the same time, the stream of magical power extending from the child’s body seemed to glow, and then,

 

[I can never forgive you!]

 

A sound loud enough to shake the entire stronghold flowed from Merkon’s mouth.

 

Tie, startled even though she had done it herself, flinched in place.

 

“I’ll tell you everything! I said I’ll tell you everything!”

 

Jiheira shouted in a hoarse voice.

 

Before her eyes, Merkon was dripping blood drop by drop.

 

The eye socket pierced by the arrow was pitch black like an empty void.

 

“So, what happened was…!”

 

Though her body was trembling, she squeezed her eyes shut and shouted.

 

“I, I was working in Flint Cove when some man ap, approached me!”

 

[…]

 

“He said he was a high-ranking clergyman, so I looked into it and he really was a cardinal!”

 

[A cardinal?]

 

“Yes! If he’s a cardinal, he’d see the Pope’s face like it’s nothing! I thought I’d caught a big fish…! Sure enough, huk, they said they wanted to entrust me with something.”

 

Jiheira panted.

 

She calmed her rough breathing and looked at Merkon.

 

Was it because she was seeing a living specter for the first time?

 

Or was it because the blue aura surrounding her at this moment was too chilling?

 

Everything she knew flowed naturally from her mouth.

 

“Ch, children, they said they needed children.”

 

Merkon’s eyes widened.

 

[So that’s why you sent me that kind of note?]

 

“Yes! They said they’d offer children as sacrifices for some purification…!”

 

Jiheira bit the flesh inside her mouth.

 

Rolling her eyes anxiously, she soon lifted her head as if remembering something.

 

“Right, Roxe Forest! They said they’d use them to purify the World Tree in Roxe Forest! I’m sure that’s what they said!”

 

The memory from a few months ago came back vividly.

 

“You know too, Merkon. Mastone sprouted and the World Tree was contaminated! Or was it? Did the World Tree get contaminated and then Mastone sprouted?”

 

The appearance of Mastone was already a thing of the distant past.

 

Therefore, there were thousands upon thousands of stories floating around about that causality.

 

But whatever the truth might be among them.

 

“They said that the World Tree must be purified to finally end this damn age of Mastone! They said they were looking for some noble sacrifice or whatever!”

 

Those who had covered their entire bodies with dark robes were all tremendously skilled individuals.

 

Jiheira could feel it just by standing face to face with them.

 

“I did think that if I got involved wrongly, I might lose my head. I did think that, but….”

 

Jiheira gulped down her saliva.

 

The gold bars she had received as advance payment that day shimmered before her eyes.

 

“The compensation was ridiculously good!”

 

Jiheira raised her head.

 

“With that money, both you and I could have lived like kings on the North Continent! I recommended that job to you purely for that reason!”

 

[….]

 

“I never thought those bastards would kill you right away just because they lost a few kids, I never thought they were such merciless bastards…!”

 

That’s when it happened.

 

“Capture her.”

 

The basement door on the side burst open and several people rushed in.

 

Before she could even be surprised, something was shoved into Jiheira’s mouth.

 

“Mmph! Mmmmph!”

 

It was Raul who took measures to prevent Jiheira from biting her tongue.

 

Meanwhile, Enzo went behind Jiheira to check if the rope binding her wrists was intact.

 

“Lock her up again for now.”

 

As Veil’s command fell, a round subspace appeared in the air.

 

“Mmph! Mmmmph-!”

 

As she was carried by the unit members and thrown into the subspace, Jiheira looked at Merkon’s soul.

 

The soul was floating in the air, repeating the same words over and over.

 

[Jihe… Jiheira… Jiheira….]

 

Jiheira slowly blinked her eyes.

 

Merkon’s soul was completely different from what it had been just moments before.

 

Jiheira, who had finally realized something, widened her eyes.

 

When she turned her gaze, she saw someone standing by the door, staring intently at her.

 

Platinum hair, and green eyes.

 

A child with a cute appearance.

 

But with such an appearance, controlling spirits and raising the dead….

 

“Mmph! Mmmmph-!”

 

Jiheira’s face contorted.

 

She had finally realized where she had been dragged to.

 

Who had been interrogating her all this time.

 

Blood vessels burst in her eyes, turning the whites red.

 

However, there was no time to be angry.

 

The next moment, the subspace closed right in front of her nose.

 

And in the place where the subspace had closed.

 

“They need children to purify the World Tree…?”

 

Tie’s expression became serious.

 

“Kamang, is what she said true?”

 

When she turned her head, she saw Lucalion, who had approached and was standing there.
