A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 285

 

“Really?! Is it real, Marul?”

 

As soon as Marbas finished speaking, Tie came running toward the members.

 

The child’s eyes were sparkling brighter than ever.

 

Marbas cleared his throat with a “Ahem!” and lifted his chin slightly.

 

“Well. It’s something Master requested, so I couldn’t not do it.”

 

He proudly waved two pieces of paper.

 

“I did push myself a bit. Like when you asked me to make a bunch of long-distance teleportation circles before. Back then too, if it weren’t for me, we couldn’t have accelerated the mastone siege…”

 

“…Trumpet!”

 

At that moment, Ppupppu appeared from somewhere and smacked Marbas’s shin.

 

While Marbas was startled.

 

Veil snatched the teleportation circle from his hand and handed it to Aleric.

 

“Right. Let’s hurry up and try it. We’re pressed for time right now.”

 

Leaving behind Marbas who was frozen with a dumbfounded expression, Aleric took the teleportation circle.

 

“Then I’ll try starting it up. It seems to be an installation type…”

 

Aleric infused his magic power into the teleportation circle.

 

Then the complex circuits carved on the teleportation circle began to light up one by one.

 

“Wow…!”

 

Tie opened her eyes wide and watched the gradually activating teleportation circle.

 

‘I can go back to Talochium!’

 

Her heart pounded at the thought of being able to return to the Empire.

 

It didn’t matter if it wasn’t a complete return.

 

Half a day, no, even just for a moment would be fine.

 

‘Mother…’

 

If only she could meet Mother and come back.

 

To inform her of what was happening here, to deliver the warning that the World Tree’s barrier had been broken.

 

If only she could hug Mother one last time before the big battle.

 

Wooong-

 

Just then, the teleportation circle began to resonate.

 

“It’s working!”

 

Aleric shouted as he placed the teleportation circle on the ground.

 

Silver patterns were extending in all directions around the teleportation circle.

 

It was a signal that the spell circle connecting Talochium and this place was being completed.

 

Tie swallowed her saliva.

 

Tesetan also couldn’t take his eyes off the teleportation circle.

 

However, just before the circle was completed.

 

Kiiiiing-!

 

An ear-splitting metallic friction sound shook the space.

 

At the same time, the light extending from the teleportation circle shattered into pieces.

 

The next moment.

 

Crackle-

 

The teleportation circle tore apart on its own like a piece of paper ripped by a monster’s claws.

 

“The teleportation circle…”

 

Tie covered her mouth with both hands.

 

“This can’t be! My masterpiece…!”

 

Marbas also rushed to the teleportation circle as if he couldn’t believe it.

 

He picked up the torn pieces of the teleportation circle that had lost its light and muttered in a trembling voice.

 

“The technique was perfect, and the inscription was fine too, so why…”

 

This time even Ppupppu didn’t step forward.

 

He just drooped his ears and watched Marbas’s back.

 

Then.

 

“Right… why, why didn’t I think of that?”

 

Marbas narrowed his eyes.

 

As he stood up holding the fragments, a red glow leaked from his eyes as if searching for something.

 

“Luciano, that cunning bastard…!”

 

“Marul. Are you okay?”

 

Tie came running over quickly.

 

“What’s wrong? What is it?”

 

Marbas turned around, fuming.

 

He looked at Tie and plopped down on the ground.

 

“Now that I look, there are ‘inter-dimensional collision barriers’ spread all around!”

 

Aleric furrowed his brow.

 

“Inter-dimensional collision barriers…”

 

Marbas nodded.

 

“That’s right. A barrier that collapses the dimension itself when spatial movement is attempted!”

 

Tie’s eyes began to spin at the difficult words.

 

Marbas sighed and looked at Tie like that.

 

“I’ll use an analogy that Master can easily understand. Luciano has laid ‘sensors’ throughout the entire Central Continent.”

 

“Sensors…?”

 

Tie slightly parted her lips.

 

“Sensors, Tie knows! The ones at bank automatic doors. They open automatically when customers approach!”

 

“That’s right.”

 

Marbas made a serious expression.

 

“However, Luciano’s sensors aren’t sensors that open doors when someone approaches.”

 

“Then?”

 

“They’re sensors that completely destroy the door. So that no one can pass through.”

 

Tie’s eyes widened as she gulped.

 

Marbas gritted his teeth and continued.

 

“When someone tries to use a teleportation circle. That is, when they try to arbitrarily fix a departure point and destination.”

 

“…”

 

“Luciano’s sensors detect that moment and completely smash the spell circle.”

 

Tie’s expression darkened.

 

If Marbas was right, even using the remaining teleportation circle again would have the same result.

 

But Tie shook her head and pulled herself together.

 

“But couldn’t we try again somewhere else? We just need to find a place without sensors, right?”

 

Marbas shook his head.

 

“It’s impossible. Just what I can detect now is dozens. Each detection range is also wide, so there are no blind spots.”

 

Silence fell.

 

Aleric muttered.

 

“Communication is paralyzed, and we can’t use teleportation circles either.”

 

Veil gritted his teeth.

 

“…He’s trying to completely isolate us?! Damn it!”

 

That’s when it happened.

 

“Those sensors only detect the departure point, right?”

 

Tie asked.

 

Marbas, who had been examining the remaining teleportation circle, looked up.

 

“You could say that. More precisely, it detects the moment coordinates are formed from the Central Continent toward another dimension.”

 

Tie’s eyes sparkled.

 

“Then, what happens if we hide the departure point?”

 

Marbas’s eyes widened.

 

“If that were possible, we could naturally activate Idongchin. But.”

 

He furrowed his brow again.

 

“Didn’t you just confirm with your own eyes that it’s impossible? There are too many sensors and they’re too dense to hide the departure point…”

 

“We can use Idongchin inside Tie’s subspace!”

 

The surroundings fell silent.

 

Marbas closed his mouth and his eyes gradually widened.

 

“Inside the subspace, you mean Idongchin?”

 

He looked back and forth between Tie and Idongchin.

 

“Right, why didn’t I think of that…”

 

Marbas’s eyes flashed.

 

“It’s dangerous but a groundbreaking idea! Luciano’s sensors can’t detect inside Master’s subspace!”

 

He hurriedly approached Tie carrying Idongchin.

 

“However, there’s one concerning point.”

 

“What’s that?”

 

“Subspace is structurally more unstable than reality. If we activate Idongchin inside it, the maintenance time will be greatly reduced.”

 

Tesetan, who had been listening, approached with a serious expression.

 

“Specifically, how much?”

 

Marbas hesitated before answering.

 

“At most a few hours. If many people pass through the gate, it could be even shorter.”

 

Tie’s eyes widened.

 

The child who had been silent for a moment muttered.

 

“There are so many people who need to pass through the gate…”

 

Tie’s gaze turned toward the barracks set up next to the campfire.

 

Inside, the children rescued from the laboratory lay unconscious.

 

“We can’t keep them in the barracks forever. This place is dangerous… and there’s no one to protect them while we fight Luciano.”

 

Tie raised her head with a dark expression.

 

Then she stared at Marbas.

 

“Can we send all the friends to Talochium… with just one Idongchin?”

 

Marbas pondered for a moment then nodded.

 

“Thirty-four people total. It should be possible. If we transport them one by one slowly. However.”

 

Marbas gave Tie a cautious look.

 

“After sending everyone, the time Master can stay on the other side will be very short.”

 

Tie closed her mouth.

 

“By my calculations, just a few minutes. Maybe even shorter…”

 

“It’s okay!”

 

Then Tie answered spiritedly.

 

“Tie is fine. I can write what I want to say in a letter beforehand!”

 

The child’s green eyes curved prettily.

 

Tie cheerfully turned around and rummaged through her preschool bag.

 

“Now monsters come out even in the morning, Luciano and his subordinates fled to Roxe Forest, Tie and the World Tree made up so now there are Pompoms! I can write it all down.”

 

Tie, who had taken out paper and pencil from her bag, settled down in front of the camping supplies.

 

“Dear Mother…”

 

The small voice gently echoed around the campfire.

 

“Tie and Father are doing well here…”

 

“…”

 

“…well…”

 

However, the child’s voice finally trembled thinly.

 

Tesetan quietly approached Tie’s side.

 

Then he embraced the child who had stopped writing the letter and hung her head.

 

“…What’s fine about any of this.”

 

On the paper flickering in the campfire light, several clear teardrops had already spread.

 

“Our daughter, how upset you must be. You must have hoped to meet Mother for longer.”

 

“Hic, huu…”

 

Tie, who had dropped the pencil from her small hand, hugged Father tightly.

 

The child’s sniffling cries spread through the campsite like campfire smoke.

 

Lucalion stood a little distance away, silently watching the scene.

 

From right after awakening on the Resting Couch until now.

 

A deep shadow was cast over Lucalion’s face at Tie’s tears that seemed unlikely to dry anytime soon.
