A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 308
Tie blinked without being able to answer.
Lucalion’s question pressed down heavily on the air inside the room.
The child’s fingers fidgeted as if groping through empty space.
“That’s…”
Her voice crawled inward and the end of her words became blurred.
However, Lucalion did not rush her.
He simply watched Tie quietly and waited.
Finally, after hesitating for a long while, Tie squeezed her eyes shut and spoke.
“…Mother and Father.”
The child’s voice trembled.
“They forgot… about Tie.”
Lucalion’s eyes narrowed.
Tears began to well up in Tie’s eyes.
“Mother and Father were holding a new Tie. Everyone only liked that baby…”
A single tear rolled down Tie’s cheek.
“The original Tie disappeared, but nobody, nobody even looked for her…”
Silence descended upon the room.
Only the sound of sniffling filled the room.
Lucalion let out a small sigh.
“You fool.”
Tie sniffled and raised her head.
“That was just an illusion. Something Mel fabricated.”
Tie pressed her lips together tightly before answering miserably.
“Tie knows that too!”
Then she clenched her fists and continued speaking.
“But it could really happen! Tie is… fake here.”
Lucalion’s pupils dilated.
Tie continued speaking.
“Marul said so. Later when the real Tie is born, if Tie can’t decide what to do here by then…”
“…”
“Tie will disappear or nobody will be able to see her.”
Lucalion’s expression darkened at the sight of the child crying miserably.
After a moment, he who had been silent for a while opened his mouth.
“That’s a lie.”
Tie sniffled and raised her head.
“That you’ll disappear? That nobody will be able to see you? It’s all nonsense.”
Lucalion’s face became serious.
“I will see you even when that time comes. I’ll keep seeing you continuously just like I’m seeing you now. Don’t you understand?”
Tie’s shoulders trembled.
The child moved closer and sat near Lucalion.
“But when the real Tie is born, everyone will only like that child…?”
“Well. Your mother and father might love that baby too since it’s their child. But.”
Lucalion raised his gaze.
“I’m different. For me, it’s you right here in front of me at this moment – if it’s not you, then it has no meaning from the start.”
Tie closed her mouth.
However, the child soon shook her head with an uncertain expression.
“No. Kamang, no, you’ll definitely forget about Tie too. When we were in Jongno-gu, the adults said so. That they felt sad about Tie growing up.”
The child’s expression became dejected.
“Do you know why? It’s because babies are originally cuter. Tie has grown a lot so she’s not cute at all anymore. Huu, she’s becoming less cute little by little every day!”
Miserable tears rolled down her cheeks drop by drop.
“So when the real Tie is born, you’ll also be too busy looking at that baby to notice Tie…”
“Did you forget something?”
At that moment, Lucalion answered firmly.
“I already saw it. You as a newborn baby.”
Tie closed her mouth.
“I told you. When I was in Jongno-gu, inside the Resting Couch, I could see and hear everything. So I already know what you looked like when you were younger than now.”
Tie’s eyes grew wide.
Soon, the child pouted her lips and asked.
“Huu, I was definitely cuter back then than now, right…?”
Lucalion frowned and immediately answered.
“No?”
Tie’s eyes grew wide.
Lucalion continued speaking.
“Back then you cried too often, so I actually disliked it. I have a hard time enduring it when you cry. I only want to see you smiling. But back then…”
Lucalion sighed.
“You cried when hungry. Cried when sleepy. Cried when you wanted something.”
Tie gulped.
Lucalion looked at Tie intently.
“Anyway, I like now much better.”
The two children’s gazes met.
“There are many good people around you, and many things happen. So I like now better when you often smile and feel happy.”
Lucalion wiped away the tears on Tie’s cheek.
“I feel joyful when I see your emotions that have become diverse. It feels like… I’m happy too.”
Tie blinked slowly.
The tips of Lucalion’s ears were slightly red as he said he felt happy.
“If you’re really worried, I’ll make a promise.”
Lucalion opened his mouth.
“It won’t happen, but just in case. If what you saw in the hallucination really becomes reality in the distant future.”
His red eyes gazed at Tie without wavering.
“I will keep searching for you. I’ll never forget.”
Tie’s lips parted.
“Whether you’re visible to my eyes or not doesn’t matter. You are the one and only to me. No illusion or anyone else can replace you.”
“…”
Tears streamed down from Tie’s eyes.
However, this time there was also a smile filled with relief forming at the corners of her mouth.
“Really…?”
After a long while, Tie asked back.
Lucalion answered firmly.
“Yes. Really. I promised, didn’t I?”
Silence flowed.
The next moment, Tie suddenly embraced Lucalion.
“Huu, then Tie won’t forget Kamang, no, Lucalion either!”
Lucalion stiffened in place as if surprised.
“No matter what happens, even if the world ends, I’ll remember. Because we’re the best friends in the world!”
A faint smile formed at the corners of Lucalion’s mouth.
“…Yeah.”
Tie looked at that face and giggled.
Then a few seconds later, she suddenly made a serious expression.
“But you know what. Aren’t you a little hungry?”
Lucalion frowned.
“Didn’t we just come back from eating?”
“Yeah, but I had sad thoughts and got hungry again….”
Tie got up from her seat and stretched both hands upward.
“I saw earlier that there’s this much corn bread in the kitchen!”
Then the child picked up the rabbit box in her arms.
“So let’s eat corn bread together and take Kangchong for a walk! How about it? Won’t it be fun?”
A hollow laugh finally escaped from Lucalion’s mouth.
However, he nodded without any particular objection.
Getting up from his seat, he took the box containing the rabbit from Tie.
“I’ll carry this, so you lead the way. Don’t run because you’ll fall.”
As if she had never cried, a bright smile spread across Tie’s face.
Then the child turned around energetically.
“Okay!”
Daily life at the Shrine flowed peacefully.
Eura devoted herself to refining holy oil, and Leandro taught the members how to mix holy oil every day.
Of course, Tie was also continuing her peaceful daily life within that.
“Please give me more hay!”
At Tie’s words, the priest guarding the stables made a troubled expression.
Before his eyes stood Tie, holding a basket that was about half full of hay.
“But didn’t you take that much this morning too. A young rabbit couldn’t possibly eat that much….”
“No, Kangchong is in a growth period so she eats a lot!”
Tie shook the basket.
“Please hurry! Kangchong is crying from hunger in Tie’s room…!”
The priest had no choice but to rake out a little more hay.
As soon as the basket was filled, Tie turned around with an excited expression.
“Thank you!”
Lively steps crossed the courtyard of the Shrine.
“Wow! Tie got food again today! Ppupppu, isn’t Mother amazing?”
Ppupppu, who was riding on her shoulder, spun his trunk around as if bored.
“…Kyuut.”
Tie frowned.
“Pig rabbit, that’s mean, Ppupppu.”
Ppupppu shook his head back and forth.
Meanwhile, Tie, who had entered the corridor, continued talking.
“Kangchong is like that because she’s in a growth period. She needs to eat well now to become a strong adult rabbit. Tie is going to earn a hundred baskets of hay for Kangchong like that!”
But Tie soon froze in place.
Ppupppu, who had been talking back from her shoulder, also closed his mouth.
At the end of the corridor.
The door that had definitely been closed was somehow open.
Through the gap, familiar white feet could be seen sticking out limply.
“…Kangchong?”
The hay basket dropped from Tie’s hands with a thud.
The protruding feet were definitely Kangchong’s.
“Kangchong!”
With a terrified face, Tie ran forward.
But at that moment.
A rustling sound came from somewhere, and something began pouring out through the crack in the door.
“…Ah!”
A wind as sharp as sand brushed past her ears.
“I, I….”
Tie stopped in place, at a loss for words.
An unknown light flashed as countless shadows devoured the corridor walls.
Then the scene that unfolded before her eyes was breathtaking.
Just a few seconds.
In that brief moment, what filled her vision was,
“…Butterflies.”
Thousands of butterflies swirling and rushing toward Tie.
