A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 305

 

When they emerged from the ritual chamber, the outside had already grown bright.

 

Leandro turned to look at Tie’s group and spoke.

 

“Follow me. You must be exhausted from staying up all night, so I’ll guide you to a place where you can rest your bodies.”

 

Tie moved her steps to follow Leandro who was leading the way.

 

After passing the ditch, garden, and stone gate they had crossed at dawn, the annex where the members had been confined appeared again.

 

Tie’s lips parted slightly as she looked around.

 

“Wow, it was so dark at night that I didn’t notice…”

 

Looking at it now, the shrine had flowers and vines intertwined everywhere, giving it a charming appearance.

 

However, what caught Tie’s attention among all this was,

 

“Gasp! It’s the hoppers that Tie loves!”

 

The rabbit hutch inside the temple.

 

As Tie instantly darted forward, Tesetan stepped out.

 

“Tie, if you run off like that…!”

 

“Just leave her be.”

 

At that moment, Leandro stopped Tesetan.

 

He smiled kindly and continued speaking.

 

“It’s fine. They won’t wear out just from looking a little.”

 

Just then, Tie, who had been crouching in front of the rabbit hutch, walked back toward Tesetan and Leandro.

 

The child was holding something in her hands with a very tense expression.

 

“Father. L-look at this…!”

 

Tesetan’s eyes widened when he saw what Tie was holding out.

 

In Tie’s hands was a small baby rabbit.

 

“The mister over there put it on Tie’s hand, hiccup!”

 

The priest near the hutch waved his hand awkwardly.

 

Tie carefully stroked the rabbit’s fur and spoke in a trembling voice.

 

“It’s so soft…”

 

Leandro, who had been watching this scene with a pleased expression, asked.

 

“How about it, shall I lend it to you?”

 

Tie looked up in surprise.

 

“Gasp. L-lend it? To Tie, the baby…?”

 

Leandro nodded his head.

 

“Yes. The little one was probably feeling stuffy too. It’s been a month since it was born, but it’s been cooped up in the hutch the whole time.”

 

Tie’s lips gradually parted.

 

When Leandro gestured, the priest standing by the hutch immediately brought over a small box.

 

“You have to take good care of it. During the day, you can bring it out to get some sunlight too.”

 

Tie’s lips quivered.

 

The child nodded her head while almost trembling.

 

A moment later, after taking quite a while to place the rabbit down in the box, the child swallowed and asked.

 

“Th-then where does Tie go?”

 

Leandro burst into laughter.

 

He leaned on his staff again and nodded toward the priest beside him.

 

The priest gestured to Tie.

 

“Please come this way.”

 

Tie nodded with a nervous face.

 

With each step the child took, she looked down to check if the rabbit in the box was doing well.

 

At the sight of Tie slowly moving away, Tesetan finally let out a hollow laugh.

 

Leandro spoke quietly.

 

“…For everyone in your group to recover their condition, you’ll need to stay indoors for the time being.”

 

“…”

 

“It would be best not to leave the temple even during the day if possible. Now the demons are active even when the sun is high in the sky.”

 

Tesetan quietly nodded his head.

 

He was beginning to vaguely understand why Leandro had given Tie the box.

 

Sure enough, Leandro spoke while looking at Tie’s retreating figure.

 

“…Even if she doesn’t show it, everything must be unfamiliar and frightening.”

 

He coughed lightly.

 

“I hope she can be happy and comfortable, at least while staying here.”

 

A strange sense of guilt had settled on his face.

 

His expression suggested he felt bad about pouring holy oil on Tie and raising his voice the night before.

 

Tesetan gave Leandro a short bow.

 

“Thank you.”

 

Leandro waved his hand as if it was nothing.

 

“Well then, let’s go.”

 

Then he began walking again with a limp.

 

A moment later, the place where the expedition arrived was an unexpected location.

 

“Wow, what is all this?”

 

Livia said with wide eyes as she stood in the corridor.

 

“There are so many rooms! There are even four bathtubs in the end room!”

 

At the sight of her starting to hop around saying they could finally wash, Aleric let out a short laugh.

 

‘…Indeed. It is quite comfortable lodging.’

 

The place Leandro had provided was the basement of the main temple with several rooms attached.

 

“Excluding the ritual chamber, this is the deepest place here. There are no windows. They say the white leaves don’t move during the day, but just in case.”

 

“This much space is sufficient.”

 

Tesetan nodded his head.

 

A wide and clean corridor.

 

Smoothly oiled wooden floors and walls built with sturdy stone.

 

As he was calmly looking around, a tired voice came from beside him.

 

“…Damn, I need to lie down for a bit first.”

 

Veil was staggering as he opened one of the doors in the corridor and went inside.

 

“I can’t even remember when I last slept properly instead of fainting. On top of not being able to rest after the battle…”

 

He carelessly threw off his uniform and was just about to lie down on the neatly made bed.

 

“Ahhh! Stop right there!”

 

Livia instantly grabbed Veil by the scruff of his neck.

 

“Where do you think you’re going to lie down without washing, you filthy bastard!”

 

Veil’s eyes widened.

 

Soon he turned around with an annoyed face.

 

“What are you talking about now? If you want to wash, then you go wash! What does it matter whether I wash or not…”

 

“Honestly. Don’t you know what setting an example means, you officer?”

 

However, Livia immediately cut off Veil’s words and let out a hollow laugh.

 

She glared as she looked around.

 

“I’ll admit when conditions don’t allow for washing. But not washing when conditions do allow is lack of consideration. Don’t you think about my nose rotting because of you guys?”

 

Members sighed from various places.

 

But Livia didn’t bat an eye.

 

“From demon blood smell to all kinds of filth smells, just stinking up the comfortable lodging! I really won’t stand for it! Got it, huh?!”

 

Only Basto, who was usually on the neat side, quietly nodded his head.

 

Meanwhile, Livia clapped her hands.

 

“Now! If you understand, the women will wash first and come out, so everyone stop lying down and wait.”

 

Having instantly changed her expression, she hummed as she looked around.

 

“Now, where did our Miss go? It would be good to lie down clean and fluffy after washing… Huh?”

 

However, Livia’s eyes widened when she spotted Tie.

 

“Miss, what are you doing?”

 

Over there.

 

Tie, who had been trying to sneak into the end room while tightly holding the rabbit box, froze in surprise.

 

The child stiffly turned around and smiled awkwardly.

 

“Uh, Aunt Livia, Tie thinks she doesn’t need to bathe…”

 

Livia’s eyes went wide.

 

“No, what are you talking about? Even if holy oil is medicine, it’s still oil! Look how grimy Miss is right now!”

 

Tie rolled her eyes around.

 

“But Tie is really busy taking care of the baby rabbit that Grandfather Lerro entrusted to her…”

 

Livia’s gaze slowly moved downward.

 

“Aha.”

 

Her eyes sparkled as she finally understood the situation.

 

“Our Miss refused to bathe because of that rabbit. But you know, Miss.”

 

Livia rolled up her sleeves and walked toward Tie.

 

“Don’t you know that rabbits are animals with extremely sensitive sense of smell? Look. Even now it’s twitching its nose.”

 

Tie’s eyes widened.

 

Indeed.

 

The small rabbit in the box was really sniffing toward Tie.

 

“If Miss smells bad, do you think the rabbit would like that?”

 

Tie froze in surprise.

 

“If it were me, I wouldn’t want to play with someone who smells bad…”

 

Tie gulped.

 

The child looked restlessly back and forth between the rabbit and Livia.

 

Then, as if making some decision, she slowly put on a determined expression.

 

“…Then Tie will take a bath!”

 

The child carefully set the box down beside the corridor and raised one hand high.

 

“I’ll be right back!”

 

Seeing her start to fumble with her cloak right there, Livia quickly scooped up Tie.

 

“Now now, let’s take off clothes in front of the bathtub, shall we~?”

 

Livia, holding Tie, hummed a tune as she passed by the Members.

 

As she passed in front of Veil, she briefly winked at him.

 

“Ah, damn it!”

 

Veil shouted as if bursting with frustration and slid down against the corridor wall.

 

“She does all sorts of barbaric things by herself every time we fight! But she’s so damn picky about cleanliness!”

 

Basto coughed quietly beside him.

 

“…Still, I think Livia is right.”

 

Then he added while avoiding Veil’s gaze.

 

“Whatever the case, clean and comfortable is better.”

 

Veil groaned.

 

Soon, the sound of water splashing began to come from the end room of the corridor.

 

“Miss! Look at me, I’m a sea monster! Roaaaar-!”

 

“Ahahahaha!”

 

At Tie’s laughter, the Members one by one relaxed their tired shoulders and burst into laughter.

 

However, no one noticed.

 

Beyond the spreading water mist, in one corner of the hidden ceiling.

 

That a pair of white wings was quietly trembling.
