A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 306
The unit members didn’t wake up from their sleep until around noon the next day.
“…Just how many hours did we sleep?”
When Veil muttered in a hoarse voice, Basto passed in front of him and answered.
“When I went outside, it was broad daylight. We must have slept for at least a full day.”
When he turned his waist, his joints made cracking sounds.
At that moment, the door opened and Livia stepped inside.
“Good morning~ Did everyone sleep well?”
Veil immediately frowned.
“What’s with ‘good morning’? Don’t tell me you learned that from the child again?”
Livia snorted.
“That’s right. It’s not just a foreign language, but an otherworldly foreign language! It might come in handy somewhere!”
Aleric, who followed behind, said with a laugh.
“Livia, wouldn’t it rather be useless? Who in this land would understand that language?”
Livia tilted her head as if confused.
“…Wait a minute. Is that so?”
Veil let out a deep sigh.
At that moment,
“Brother! Uncle! Aunt!!”
Small footsteps approached from the end of the corridor, and Tie poked her head into the room.
“Kangchong woke Tie up in the morning! By pressing with his nose!”
Tie, who had just woken up with clear marks on her face from sleeping, was extremely excited.
Basto laughed softly and took Tie into his arms.
“So you’ve been in a good mood since morning, Tie.”
Tie nodded vigorously and giggled.
Meanwhile, Aleric approached.
“By the way, Danzu. Have the spirits regained their senses somewhat?”
Tie’s lips parted slightly.
The child soon shook her head with a serious expression.
“No. They’re still in an intoxicated state.”
After being exposed to the holy oil in the annex.
Ppupppu, Marbas, and the Pompoms hadn’t regained their senses for a while.
Later, they threw tantrums demanding more holy oil,
‘Kyut! Kyuuut!’
Ppupppu, who had been pulling at clothes with his trunk while whining, was the well-behaved one.
“Marul…”
Thinking of Marbas, Tie unconsciously covered her ears with both hands.
It was because she felt like she could hear Marul’s voice again, which she had heard until just before falling asleep.
‘Master, hic! Master? Excuse me? Master? Hic!’
Marul couldn’t even stand still in one place, yet kept following Tie around.
‘Am I drunk? Hic! I’ll admit it. Being drunk refers to an irrational, hic! state caused by the disruption of normal mental functions due to holy oil components.’
‘Aaaah, Marul, stop it!’
‘But! Master? Listen carefully! Right now, at this very moment, magical circuits are running in my head at a speed seven times, no, eight times faster than usual, hic!’
‘But Marul isn’t a magical tool!’
‘…Inspiration strikes! I must design a magic compressor right now. If so, I can say with certainty, hic…!’
Tie shook her head vigorously to shake off the past memories.
Then she looked up at Basto with a slightly frightened face.
“…Tie will quit smoking when she grows up.”
Veil burst out laughing.
“It’s not quitting smoking, it’s quitting drinking.”
Then a small knocking sound came from the door.
Beyond the already open door, a priest stood awkwardly.
“Lord Leandro is looking for you. He says the meal is ready…”
The unit members’ eyes widened.
Tie’s stomach also made a rumbling sound as if it had been waiting.
Livia gestured to the priest and asked.
“Shall we go?”
Tie quickly nodded.
At their destination, a more generous meal than expected was prepared.
Freshly baked bread, soup with plenty of herbs, and vegetables freshly picked from the garden.
“Wow!”
Tie, who had placed the rabbit box next to the dining table, immediately picked up the vegetables first.
Then she tore them into small pieces and put them into the box.
The rabbit, sniffing the unfamiliar smell, began eating the vegetables while chewing.
“Gasp, it’s eating!”
The unit members burst into laughter at Tie’s delighted appearance.
Just as everyone was taking their seats one by one.
Eura, who had returned from the ritual chamber, appeared.
“Your faces look better. Have you recovered somewhat?”
Several unit members coughed as if choking at her appearance.
Her appearance, which only looked to be Tie’s age, was still hard to get used to.
“Thanks to you.”
At Tesetan’s words, Eura sat in her chair with a pleased expression.
Then she placed both hands on the dining table.
“Well, since we’re all gathered, let me make a suggestion.”
All the unit members looked at her.
Eura continued speaking.
“Since you’re resting anyway, how about staying here for a few more days?”
Tesetan’s eyes widened slightly.
“When you say a few more days, exactly how long are you referring to…”
“Well, until the holy oil that was being refined is completed?”
At those words, Leandro, who had been standing near the entrance, flinched.
He approached Eura with a worried expression.
“Mother, if you mean the holy oil that was being refined…”
“Yes, the last holy oil.”
“The last?”
Tie tilted her head.
Meanwhile, Eura stood up from her chair and made eye contact with the unit members.
“I didn’t bother to mention it yesterday, but actually the spring of holy oil has dried up. A few days ago.”
Tie’s lips parted.
“We suspect it’s because Luciano destroyed the World Tree’s barrier.”
Valentis nodded as if it made sense.
As Eura said, after the barrier disappeared, a murky energy was growing thicker in Roxe Forest.
It wasn’t surprising that the spring had dried up either.
“Holy oil cannot be made without the sacred oil from that spring. So once we refine all the remaining sacred oil, there will be no more opportunities after that.”
Veil made a groaning sound and crossed his arms.
“That’s unfortunate. That oil’s effects were amazing.”
“Amazing indeed.”
Eura leaned toward the dining table.
“Listen carefully. Holy oil is essential if you want to face Luciano. Do you know why?”
She raised one finger.
“As you saw with Mel, Luciano and his subordinates skillfully handle curses. But what are curses? They come in all different types, and once you’re afflicted, they’re troublesome things that are hard to cure with ordinary healing arts.”
Eura gestured behind her, toward the path leading to the ritual chamber.
“But with holy oil, you can quickly purify those curses. It’s like neutralizing one of their powerful weapons.”
Eura lowered her voice.
“That’s why I’m saying I’ll give you all the sacred oil remaining in the temple.”
The room stirred.
But there was no wavering in Eura’s eyes.
“Holy oil’s effectiveness varies depending on the refining method. The basics are ‘Detoxifying Holy Oil’ that neutralizes curses, and ‘Regenerating Holy Oil’ that boosts life force. What you used in the annex was a mixture of both oils.”
After catching her breath, she took out a clear bottle from her bosom and placed it on the dining table.
Inside the transparent glass, a silver liquid was gently glowing.
“And the last one. I call this ‘Returning Holy Oil.'”
“You mustn’t!”
But at that moment, Leandro blocked Eura’s path.
“It’s not enough that you’re giving away all the remaining holy oil, but now you want to hand over that item too? That item belongs to Mother…!”
“Calm down, Leandro.”
Eura sighed and took Leandro’s wrinkled hands.
She turned her gaze back toward the members.
“I’ll be honest. This is the result of repeatedly refining holy oil to push its effectiveness to the limit. It’s incredibly difficult to make. It took decades just to devise the refining method…”
The liquid in the bottle rippled.
“Originally, I was going to use it myself. It contains the power to restore forms to their original state. But.”
Eura paused for a moment and made a serious expression.
“No matter how much I think about it, this isn’t something for me to use.”
Despair settled on Leandro’s face.
“Mother!”
However, Eura pushed the bottle toward Tie without hesitation.
“Instead, take it and try using it on Luciano.”
Tie’s eyes widened.
Eura lowered her voice.
“Luciano is in a state where he has unstably absorbed the World Tree’s power. And to contain that power, he’s done all sorts of bizarre manipulations to his own body.”
The laboratory of the Grand Cathedral came to mind in Tie’s head.
“Artificially fixing blood, bones, and organs, then layering spells on top of them. But.”
“…”
“What do you think will happen when this holy oil touches that? All the seals and manipulations he’s carved into his body will be released in an instant.”
Tie gulped.
Eura continued speaking calmly.
“If the shackles disappear, the World Tree’s power trapped in his body will go berserk. If that could incapacitate him even for a moment, that would be even better. Because…”
“That would be the opportunity to deliver the finishing blow?”
Eura nodded at Edmund’s words.
However, in the solemn atmosphere, Tie looked at Eura with a worried expression.
