A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 302

 

Tie’s eyes widened.

 

“Gasp, the wound…!”

 

Father’s hand, which had been blistered and red with inflammation, was rapidly returning to its original color.

 

Not even a scar remained where the blisters had burst.

 

Tesetan nervously unwrapped the bandage wound around his left calf.

 

Soon the wound covering his entire calf was revealed, but it too began healing rapidly as the cloth was lifted.

 

“It’s medicine!”

 

Excited, Tie jumped up from her seat.

 

Tesetan turned to Valentis and briefly concluded.

 

“We need to use it for treatment.”

 

He showed Valentis his completely healed hand.

 

“The pain is gone. It’s effective.”

 

Valentis nodded.

 

Alexander, who wasn’t injured, hurriedly unloaded something from the cart.

 

It was thin cloth used for making campsite tents.

 

He cut the cloth into appropriate sizes, then approached the wooden barrel leaking oil.

 

When he opened the stopper, a colorless, odorless liquid began gushing out with a gurgling sound.

 

“Tie, will you help me?”

 

Tie, who had been watching, looked at Alexander in surprise.

 

“Tie will…?”

 

“Yes.”

 

Alexander showed Tie the cut cloth.

 

“Uncle will soak this cloth with oil. Then cover it over the wounded people’s injuries.”

 

Though nervous for a moment, Tie soon nodded.

 

“Yes!”

 

Soon cloth soaked in oil was handed to Tie.

 

The child looked at it solemnly before hurrying over to Veil.

 

“Brother…”

 

Looking down at the unconscious Veil, Tie gulped.

 

There wasn’t a single uninjured spot on Veil’s body.

 

From fighting too closely with the monsters, he must have been heavily exposed to Mel’s curse.

 

Tie carefully placed the cloth Alexander gave her over a large wound.

 

Then,

 

“Wow…!”

 

The result was exactly the same as what Tesetan had tested.

 

Veil’s wound gradually faded and completely disappeared.

 

Now there was no reason to hesitate.

 

Tie ran back to get new cloth.

 

Then this time she pointed to a wound on Basto’s shoulder and asked.

 

“Hammer, this hurts, right?”

 

Basto nodded.

 

Tie also applied cloth to Basto’s shoulder.

 

As the cloth touched, Basto flinched momentarily.

 

But his tense jaw soon relaxed.

 

“How, how is it? Does it still hurt a lot?”

 

Basto blinked as if he couldn’t believe it.

 

“…No. It doesn’t hurt. I feel a strange cooling sensation from inside the wound.”

 

“Regent, then perhaps I could also…”

 

People who had been watching began gathering one by one.

 

Tie moved busily, applying cloth to wounds oozing with fluid.

 

The groaning sounds heard from various places gradually subsided.

 

As those whose wounds had healed began helping with treatment, the work gained even more speed.

 

How much time had passed like this?

 

“The effect is certain.”

 

Valentis, who had treated the last injury, muttered in disbelief.

 

Alexander nodded.

 

“Yes. Now we just need the unconscious people to regain consciousness.”

 

Sighs of relief burst out from various places.

 

However, there was no time to feel completely at ease.

 

“It’s good that the wounds are healed, but what exactly happened?”

 

Livia, who had been examining where her wound used to be, frowned.

 

“What are those priests’ identities? They acted like they’d torture and kill us, but didn’t even take our weapons.”

 

She looked at the wooden barrel with suspicious eyes.

 

“And there just happens to be medicine to treat Mel’s curse where we’re imprisoned? Isn’t this some kind of trap?”

 

Valentis closed his mouth.

 

He seemed lost in deep thought, stroking the hilt of his sword placed beside him.

 

At that moment, Tie raised her hand and spoke.

 

“It’s not a trap, maybe they’re just good people?”

 

The Members’ gazes gathered.

 

The child hesitantly continued.

 

“Like how Tie pretended to be a scary Commander King, maybe they’re good people pretending to be bad…”

 

That’s when it happened.

 

Suddenly, subtle signs of presence were felt from outside.

 

Everyone in the expedition instantly held their breath.

 

Footsteps heard from afar stopped in front of the annex door.

 

The next moment.

 

Click-

 

A small window in the door frame opened.

 

Lamplight seeped through the small hole.

 

“Stay quiet.”

 

A voice mixed with rough breathing.

 

It was unmistakably the Elder Priest’s voice.

 

Then something dropped through the window with a thud.

 

Then came the sound of footsteps walking away.

 

Only after a long while did Basto approach the door.

 

What had fallen in front of the window was a thin wooden board.

 

“Something’s written on it.”

 

At his words, Tesetan took the wooden board.

 

Held in Tesetan’s arms, Tie also read the dense writing on it.

 

[Do not speak. There are many ‘eyes’ here.]

 

[When the third bell rings, remove two planks from the north wall of the annex.]

 

[Open the wall behind the sanctuary and exit through the ditch on the right side of the garden.]

 

[Holy oil calms wounds, but can cloud the mind of the same sacred being, so be careful.]

 

[Do not use carelessly, soak thinly and cover.]

 

“Holy oil…?”

 

Tie tilted her head.

 

Meanwhile, Livia, who had been peeking her head out to look at the wooden board, let out an incredulous laugh.

 

“Wow, Miss was right!”

 

She turned around to look at the members.

 

“That oil is called holy oil? It even says how to use it to heal wounds. These people really had no intention of attacking us from the start… Mmph.”

 

However, Aleric covered her mouth as she spoke excitedly.

 

“Sigh, Livia. Don’t you see what’s written at the top?”

 

Only then did Livia roll her eyes around.

 

Indeed.

 

At the top of the wooden board Aleric was pointing to, a clear sentence was written.

 

[Do not speak. There are many ‘eyes’ here.]

 

Tie made a tearful face and grabbed her head with both hands.

 

“Hiiing, it’s eyes again…”

 

It reminded her of fighting Mel’s eyes before arriving.

 

But then,

 

“Eh?”

 

Through the small window at the top of the roof, she saw a white dot gliding past.

 

Tie opened her eyes wide and shouted.

 

“It’s a butterfly!”

 

A pure white butterfly bathed in moonlight was clinging to the windowsill.

 

As she stared blankly at its wings sparkling like thin silver foil,

 

“Kyut!”

 

Ppupppu came running from somewhere and jumped onto Tie’s shoulder.

 

“Kyut! Kyugut, kyuut!”

 

Tie’s eyes widened at the sight of its nose and ears flapping urgently.

 

After a moment, the child turned her head and whispered with a tense face.

 

“P-Ppupppu says if we speak loudly, that butterfly will eavesdrop on us…!”

 

Ppupppu nodded its head vigorously.

 

“Kamang caught many outside, but there are still many left, so we need to be careful.”

 

“Eyes.”

 

Tesetan’s pupils slightly widened as if he had figured something out.

 

“So that must be the eyes the elder priest mentioned. The reason they couldn’t openly help us either…”

 

The members exchanged glances.

 

The fact that the butterflies were eyes.

 

That meant the sanctuary was currently under someone’s surveillance.

 

If so, it all made sense – why the priests didn’t openly help the expedition, and why holy oil was found in the annex where they were confined.

 

Aleric lowered his voice.

 

“Could those eyes belong to Luciano…”

 

At that moment, Valentis, who had been lost in thought, stood up.

 

“For now.”

 

He continued speaking only after confirming the butterfly sitting on the windowsill had flown away.

 

“How about we wait for the third bell.”

 

At those words, several members looked at the wooden board the elder priest had left again.

 

“Until then, it would be better to keep our mouths shut.”

 

Silence settled over the annex.

 

Everyone seemed to agree, nodding while holding their breath.

 

Dawn.

 

Outside, where pitch-black darkness had fallen, the sound of wind could be heard occasionally.

 

The annex was quiet, but no one was asleep.

 

Only Tie was dozing off in Tesetan’s arms.

 

“You can just sleep.”

 

At the whisper in her ear, Tie startled awake.

 

However, the child soon shook her head with eyes full of drowsiness.

 

“No, Tie will also keep watch.”

 

Tesetan’s chest moved slightly.

 

“It’s not ‘mong’ but ‘mang’. And usually only one person keeps watch?”

 

“Even so.”

 

Tie answered and pressed her cheeks firmly.

 

Then she lifted her heavy eyelids to look up at the window on the roof.

 

Just then, another white butterfly glided past the window.

 

She didn’t know how many such butterflies she had seen last night.

 

‘They look pretty, but those butterflies are eavesdropping on everything Tie says.’

 

“Ehyohyo…”

 

Just as Tie was quietly sighing at the thought that there was nothing trustworthy in the world,

 

Ding-

 

A faint bell sound rang from somewhere.

 

Valentis and Edmund stood up.

 

Basto and the other members did the same.

 

Ding- Ding-

 

The moment the second and then third bell rang in the silence,

 

Suddenly, a clicking sound came from the wall behind Tie.

 

Tie felt her heart pounding as she turned her head.

 

The words written on the wooden board came vividly back to life.

 

[When the third bell rings, remove the two planks from the north wall of the annex.]

 

On the wall where there had been nothing, two overlaid planks had really been pushed forward.
