A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 307
“But… then what about Grandmother?”
At the sound of Tie’s voice, Eura turned her head.
Tie had her eyebrows drooping as she clenched both fists tightly.
“If we use that medicine on Luciano, what will happen to Grandmother?”
Eura closed her mouth.
“You said it was medicine made to return to your original form. If there’s no medicine left…”
“Child.”
Eura smiled gently.
She got down from her chair and approached Tie, firmly grasping the child’s hands.
“It seems you’ve forgotten something for a moment.”
Their gazes met.
“I am a priest who serves the gods. I have lived all these years according to my beliefs as a priest.”
Eura’s voice was calm.
However, there was certainly some strength dwelling within it.
“If it had been about me living well alone, I wouldn’t have made it this far. You see, I have always made holy oil for everyone’s sake. Not just for myself alone.”
Tie’s gaze dropped downward.
Warm warmth was transmitted from the hands clasped with Eura’s.
“It doesn’t matter that I can’t return to my original form. Such a thing is truly trivial!”
Eura smiled broadly as if to reassure Tie.
“Rather, I should be happy that a new path opens with such a small thing as the price!”
Eura gazed at Tie with eyes that were both affectionate and firm.
“So don’t be afraid. I’m not unable to return.”
“…”
“I’m just staying a little longer in a place where I can watch you move forward. Do you understand?”
A brief silence passed.
Tie unconsciously held her breath.
Then she ultimately nodded without being able to answer.
After the meal ended.
Leandro sent the expedition back to their rooms.
“If you wish, you may use your time freely. During the day, it’s fine to walk around outside. However, only within this temple.”
Leandro’s voice was heavier and slower than usual.
It seemed the shock from Eura’s decision hadn’t faded.
“Then I’ll send someone in the afternoon. You all need to learn how to use holy oil too…”
Basto quietly watched Leandro who finished speaking and turned around.
His steps with his bent back and walking stick seemed endlessly slow.
Finally, when he disappeared, the unit members also began entering their rooms one by one.
Silence quickly settled over the corridor.
“Child. Are you okay?”
Veil, who had been standing next to Basto, asked carefully.
Where his gaze was directed, Tie still stood holding the rabbit box.
Tie raised her head and answered.
“Mm-hmm. Tie will take a nap too.”
The child turned around abruptly and headed toward her room at the very end.
Veil hurriedly followed behind.
“Really? Then shall I come along too? It’s been a while since we rested well like at the stronghold…”
But Tie stopped firmly in place for some reason.
Then she looked back at Veil and shook her head back and forth.
“Mm-hmm, it’s okay. Tie will nap with just Kangchong!”
Veil froze with a flustered expression.
However, the child had already walked away and shut the door with a click.
The left-behind Veil looked back at Basto with an anxious face.
“Am I the only one worried? About the child! She’s barely said anything since talking with Eura earlier…”
Basto sighed and then answered.
“Astie is kind, and also has a tender heart.”
Veil became quiet.
“She must have thought Eura sacrificed herself. It would have felt like a great burden to her.”
Veil, who had been restless with anxiety, raised her head again.
“…I guess this won’t do. Let’s just go in and comfort her. What if she’s crying alone or something?”
But Basto shook his head.
Then he looked steadily at Veil.
“That’s just our impatience, Veil. Tie is young, but she knows better than anyone what her heart needs.”
Veil closed her mouth.
“If she needed comfort, she would have approached us first without hesitation. She’s always done that until now.”
Finally, a low groaning sound flowed from Veil’s mouth.
It was because she couldn’t deny Basto’s words.
“Wanting to be alone means she really needs time to think. Let’s respect that.”
Veil ultimately pressed her lips tightly shut.
He kicked the floor with his toes for no reason and answered.
“…Fine then, whatever.”
He entered his room as if reluctant.
Basto looked at Tie’s door for a few more seconds before following after him.
Meanwhile, beyond the closed door.
“Kangchong, are you happy living as a rabbit?”
Tie, lying prone in the middle of the room, whispered while propping her chin and dangling her legs.
The baby rabbit in the box was dozing off.
“You get to eat delicious lettuce every day and can run around in grass fields, so it seems nice…”
Tie’s face, trailing off her words, suddenly became troubled.
“But Tie doesn’t really know. What fighting is, why everyone has to suffer.”
Tie reached out her hand and gently stroked the rabbit’s back.
“…You know, Nordics Grandfather looked sad.”
What happened at the dining table came to mind.
‘It doesn’t matter that I can’t return to my original form. Such a thing is truly trivial!’
The moment Eura said that.
Tie was actually looking at Leandro.
And at that time, Leandro’s face was,
“…like the expression of someone who lost their mother.”
Tie’s eyes became sad.
In that moment, Tie vaguely realized.
That what Eura called ‘trivial’ was never trivial to Leandro.
Tie withdrew the hand she had extended toward the rabbit.
“Grandfather Lerro said so. That it would be terrible if Grandmother Eura stays in that form.”
The rabbit in the box woke up, twitching its nose.
“She’ll keep getting smaller like a baby… and might even die.”
However, the rabbit just washed its face with its front paws without any response.
Tie quietly watched this scene before lifting her head.
A modest banner hung on the wall that had no windows.
Looking at the Temple emblem carved above, Tie murmured.
“If Grandmother Eura dies, Grandfather Lerro will lose his mother. And…”
Her fingertips trembled slightly.
“Losing family is…”
Emotions she had buried until now welled up in her chest.
“Having family disappear is too…”
Just as Tie’s voice trembled as she pressed her lips tightly together.
“Hm?”
The rabbit that had been washing its face suddenly perked up its ears.
Soon a subtle presence seeped through the closed door.
Tie’s eyes widened.
Sure enough.
“Kamang!”
When she turned around, there stood Lucalion, who had gone out early in the morning to scout the surroundings.
“Why are you alone?”
Lucalion asked with a puzzled expression.
Tie jumped up and scratched her head.
“Mm, Father is talking with Grandmother Eura, and Hammer and Brother Veil are resting in their room.”
“That’s what I mean. Why are you alone?”
Lucalion approached.
He briefly glanced at the rabbit in the box before adding.
“You hate being alone.”
At those words, Tie closed her mouth.
Lucalion stared intently at Tie’s face before narrowing his red eyes.
“…Did you cry by any chance?”
“Huh?”
Startled, Tie’s eyes widened.
The child hurriedly shook her head.
“No? Tie didn’t cry at all though?”
Lucalion didn’t respond.
He just furrowed his brow while examining the child’s face and muttered.
“…Then were you about to cry?”
Tie gulped.
It was true that her heart had felt briefly dejected, but somehow her pride was hurt and she couldn’t admit it.
Tie shook her head vigorously.
“No, Tie didn’t cry. I was just talking with Kangchong.”
Lucalion made a “hmm” sound.
He walked past Tie and plopped down in front of the box.
“Let’s go with that then.”
Tie hesitated for a moment before sitting down next to Lucalion.
But then.
“By the way.”
Lucalion’s gaze turned back to Tie.
He looked back and forth between Tie’s eyes as he spoke.
“I have something I’m curious about.”
Tie tilted her head.
“What is it?”
Lucalion held back his words for a moment.
Then he asked in a low voice.
“When everyone was caught in Mel’s illusion, do you remember?”
Tie flinched.
Lucalion gazed intently at such a Tie.
“What did you see then?”
