A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 284

 

“Wh-who told you?”

 

Tie fidgeted nervously as she set down her carrot soup.

 

Eloa shrugged her shoulders.

 

“Your talking doll said so. That even though you’re dirty now, you’re still a princess, and I shouldn’t dare think of getting too close to you.”

 

Tie’s mouth fell wide open.

 

“By any chance… the elephant?”

 

“Yeah. The elephant.”

 

Tie pressed her small hand to her forehead.

 

Then she whipped her head around.

 

“Ppupppu! You again!”

 

At that, Ppupppu, who had been hiding behind a tree watching the two children, jumped up in shock.

 

Ppupppu hurriedly turned around and crawled into the preschool bag.

 

Seeing the wiggling bottom and elephant tail made her sigh involuntarily.

 

“I told you not to keep trying to turn people against Tie!”

 

She could feel Eloa’s curious gaze.

 

Tie paid no attention and raised her voice.

 

“If you keep doing that, Tie is really going to get angry!”

 

A pitiful ‘kyuu…’ sound came from inside the bag.

 

But Tie snorted and closed her eyes.

 

“I’m not falling for it this time!”

 

Only in front of Tie did he act like a harmless baby spirit.

 

In reality, Ppupppu was known to be scary to everyone except Tie.

 

According to what the members said,

 

‘Danzu! Ppupppu, no, Lord Krazaru is so scary we could die!’

 

‘Huh? Ppupppu? But Ppupppu is just a cute baby…’

 

‘That’s not true! He only roams the 1st floor when you’re sleeping, Danzu, and if you even make eye contact, he gets angry asking what you’re looking at…’

 

‘Gasp, our Ppupppu?’

 

‘Yes! And today he even said that if the members call him “Lord Ppupppu” one more time, since that’s a title only you can use, Danzu, he’ll trap them in nightmares!’

 

Ppupppu only showed his true form when Tie wasn’t around, scaring the members.

 

Ppupppu was also very jealous.

 

Whenever someone tried to get close to Tie, interfering like this was routine.

 

‘Uncle Velos! Why haven’t you talked to Tie yesterday and today?’

 

‘W-well, you see, Danzu.’

 

‘…’

 

‘Actually, after I read you a fairy tale that one time, Lord Krazaru came and said if I have more than five conversations with you in the future, he’ll kick me out of the mercenary group…’

 

What a huge shock that had been.

 

She thought she had properly scolded him, but it seemed Ppupppu still hadn’t fixed that nasty attitude.

 

“Eloa. Don’t mind the elephant! Tie is still smoking him.”

 

“…Don’t you mean training?”

 

Tie hesitated for a moment but soon shrugged nonchalantly.

 

“Same same. As far as Tie knows, smoking also has the meaning of training.”

 

Eloa, who had widened her eyes, finally burst out laughing.

 

Then she looked at Tie and said,

 

“Fine. I wasn’t planning to keep my distance from you anyway. That doll isn’t even that scary to begin with.”

 

At those words, Ppupppu, who was in the bag, quickly poked his head out.

 

But when Tie gave him a scolding look, he hesitantly went back into the bag.

 

“I think I understand why everyone likes and follows you.”

 

Eloa suddenly said.

 

Tie widened her eyes and looked at Eloa.

 

Eloa had somehow sat down next to Tie, looking out at the dense forest beyond together.

 

“When I first met you in the maze.”

 

“…”

 

“I thought I was going to die in there. That I could come out like this, that I could see the sunset again…”

 

Eloa turned her head to meet Tie’s eyes.

 

“I never thought it was possible. Not even in my dreams.”

 

Tie couldn’t find words to respond and scratched her head.

 

“Thank you.”

 

But at Eloa’s next words, she parted her lips slightly.

 

“The other kids are still unconscious, but I’m sure they feel the same way I do. For saving all of us… thank you so much.”

 

A smile gradually spread across Tie’s face.

 

The child’s eyes sparkled as she grinned brightly.

 

“Yeah! I’m so glad!”

 

“But you’re a princess, so how did you become a mercenary?”

 

“Huh?”

 

“A princess being a mercenary. I came from the southern archipelago, and even there, royalty and mercenaries were completely opposite positions.”

 

Tie nodded.

 

True enough.

 

A mercenary who’s a princess, and a princess who’s a mercenary.

 

It was indeed a strange combination.

 

“Well, actually…”

 

Before speaking, Tie looked around once.

 

At this moment, the paladins and members were each busy with their own tasks.

 

Those checking weapons and supplies.

 

Those standing guard while watching all directions.

 

Even those preparing simple meals to eat.

 

‘They said we’d camp here tonight.’

 

This place was the Green Forest, quite far from Sercanoss Grand Cathedral.

 

The largest and densest forest in the Central Continent, and a place with relatively few reported mastones.

 

It was Nordics who had recommended this location when he came to see Tie just before departure.

 

‘Go ahead first. I have things to do remaining at the Grand Cathedral, Tie.’

 

Tie’s face darkened momentarily.

 

‘What could it have been? There’s no one left at the Grand Cathedral now…’

 

Agavert had taken care of Armingdal.

 

Thanks to the Paladins fighting and winning against the remaining priests, the Grand Cathedral was practically empty.

 

But Tie shook her head to dispel the bad thoughts.

 

‘No. He said he’d come. Grandfather will come.’

 

Tie looked at Eloa again.

 

Then she spoke in a meaningful voice.

 

“Actually, Tie didn’t know Tie was a princess at first either!”

 

Eloa’s eyes widened.

 

As if she had expected such a reaction, Tie made a serious expression.

 

“Eloa, do you happen to know about the secret of birth?”

 

“…The secret of childbirth?”

 

“Yeah! Tie had a secret about childbirth! What happened was….”

 

Even though she knew there was no need, Tie moved closer and sat right next to Eloa.

 

She was unconsciously excited about having a conversation with someone her age after such a long time.

 

“…She’s excited.”

 

Veil muttered while crunching on a raw carrot.

 

“Indeed, she’s excited.”

 

Livia, who was sitting next to him, chimed in.

 

Her hands were busily preparing the wild game that Raul and Enzo had just hunted.

 

Basto said.

 

“It’s understandable that she’d miss having friends. She could only go to that preparatory school she wanted to attend so badly a few times.”

 

The unit members fell silent for a moment.

 

In that instant.

 

Aleric asked Tesetan, who seemed to have been deep in thought for a while.

 

“Regent. Is the communication device still not working?”

 

Tesetan was holding Tie’s pink communication device in his hand.

 

He let out a small sigh.

 

“…Yeah. It’s not working. Not at all.”

 

Ever since arriving at the campsite, Tesetan had repeatedly tried to contact Talochium.

 

However, the communication device wouldn’t work.

 

“It doesn’t seem to be a problem with the communication device itself.”

 

Marbas, who had quietly interjected, said.

 

“It’s more likely that Luciano intentionally paralyzed the communication network that serves as the foundation for the communication devices.”

 

“That damn Pope bastard… He’s trying to dry us out on the Central Continent.”

 

Veil gritted his teeth.

 

“We need to get in touch with Talochium. That way we can at least report the situation….”

 

Veil’s expression darkened.

 

He was worried about the siblings he had left behind in Talochium.

 

“We need to let them know that the barrier or whatever has been broken and monsters will be active during the day from now on…!”

 

Veil roughly tousled his hair.

 

The other unit members seemed to be thinking the same thing, each wearing complicated expressions.

 

That’s when it happened.

 

“Well… actually.”

 

Marbas glanced around and cautiously spoke up.

 

“I do have two teleportation scrolls.”

 

Everyone stared at Marbas.

 

Veil asked back.

 

“Teleportation scrolls?”

 

“Yes. Remember when my master asked me back then? To create teleportation scrolls that could cross continents.”

 

Veil furrowed his brow.

 

“Yeah. You two bickered about that for a while. But didn’t you say it was impossible?”

 

Marbas sighed.

 

“Of course it’s impossible. As I said before, if such a thing existed, wouldn’t Luciano have been the first to create and use it?”

 

“….”

 

“However.”

 

Everyone held their breath at Marbas’s pause.

 

“Who am I! Marbas! A master of ancient magical engineering and a man who was a god of the Ibrannis Dynasty!”

 

Marbas cleared his throat with an “ahem” and stood up.

 

“Three weeks of sailing. Plus the several days we spent after arriving on the Central Continent, I researched diligently!”

 

The next moment, Marbas disappeared and in his place appeared Marbas in human form, shaped like a young boy.

 

Between Marbas’s fingers, two glittering somethings were fluttering.

 

“I was able to create them. Teleportation scrolls with tremendous performance capable of crossing continents, and two of them at that!”
