A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 333

 

The next morning.

 

Tesetan opened his eyes to sunlight streaming through the curtains.

 

However, when he turned his head, the spot beside him was empty.

 

“Tie?”

 

“Mmhm. Tie is here.”

 

At the answer from below the bed, he sat up.

 

At the foot of the bed.

 

In the spot where sunlight was shining, he could see Tie hugging her knees tightly with both arms.

 

“What are you doing there?”

 

Tie glanced up.

 

“I’m thinking.”

 

At her quite serious voice, Tesetan furrowed his brow.

 

He got up from his spot and approached Tie.

 

“What are you thinking about so early in the morning?”

 

Tie swallowed quietly and answered seriously.

 

“Well, Tie is thinking about what happened yesterday.”

 

“Yesterday?”

 

“Yeah. Last night. When Father was sleeping, Kamang and I talked together.”

 

Tesetan froze.

 

His eyebrows twitched very subtly.

 

“I see, when Father was sleeping you talked with Kamang together.”

 

He moved a little closer to Tie.

 

“What did you talk about with Kamang? Can’t you tell just Father?”

 

Tie hesitated and looked up.

 

Then suddenly her cheeks turned softly red.

 

Tesetan’s eyes widened.

 

“What’s this, why is our daughter being shy? Could it be…?”

 

Without realizing it, he stopped speaking and took a breath.

 

Among the assimilated memories.

 

The heart-stopping moments from Jongno-gu came back to life in his mind.

 

‘Father! A couple appeared in Quail Class!’

 

‘A couple?’

 

‘Mmhm! There’s a couple in Fawn Class, so one appeared in Quail Class too!’

 

It was the era when the ‘couple boom’ was happening at Hanbit Kindergarten.

 

The incident began when a Fawn Class child’s older sister started dating.

 

The child who saw her middle school sister bring her boyfriend home came to kindergarten the next day and suggested to a classmate ‘let’s be a couple too.’

 

The other children who happened to witness that scene directly…

 

‘Tie has decided.’

 

‘Decided what?’

 

‘There are four people in our class who want to be a couple with Tie, right? So I have to pick just one person, but who should I choose!’

 

Being greatly impressed by that incident, they all started coming forward saying they would be ‘couples’ too.

 

Of course Tie was no different, and the reason a ‘marriage boom’ that surpassed the ‘couple boom’ later emerged at the kindergarten was because of that.

 

‘Jea is a couple with Seojin, and Nayeon is a couple with Taemin, so Tie needs to have a boyfriend too.’

 

‘No, no! Absolutely not! Father said so.’

 

‘What?’

 

‘Couples are something you do when you become an adult, right? When you’re still a child, you don’t do couples, it’s big trouble!’

 

‘…But the Fawn Class older brothers and sisters are couples so much? Right, Aunt? Aunt saw the older brothers and sisters holding hands on the kindergarten bus too, right?’

 

‘Hohoho, I saw it! What will Tie’s Father do? He won’t be able to sleep from worry! In case our Tie gets a boyfriend.’

 

Tesetan made a low groaning sound.

 

Playing house between little kids?

 

It was naturally something that could happen.

 

Considering it was an age full of curiosity, it was also a natural thing.

 

‘Moreover, even if they say couple or marriage.’

 

All the kids actually did was hold hands and walk around.

 

But still, even so.

 

‘…My daughter’s boyfriend?’

 

For some reason, just thinking about those words seemed to make his insides boil with anger.

 

The hostility and fear that could only be felt when facing a strong enemy naturally welled up, and his heart pounded…

 

“It’s a secret.”

 

At that moment, Tie answered in a shy voice.

 

Tesetan, who came to his senses, widened his eyes.

 

He shook his head.

 

“No, it’s not a secret. Just tell Father. What did Lucalion say? What did he say that made you embarrassed?”

 

Tie fidgeted with both hands.

 

The child’s cheeks, who lowered her head and giggled, turned red once again.

 

Tesetan swallowed dry saliva at the feeling of his heart sinking.

 

“No way? Did Kamang ask Tie to be a couple…?”

 

“Tie will always be by Father’s side forever!”

 

At that moment, Tie grabbed Tesetan’s hand and shouted.

 

The child’s eyes were already sparkling brightly.

 

“When eating, when going to the restroom, I’ll be by your side! Isn’t this line cool? Super cool, right?”

 

At the sight of the child laughing cheerfully with excitement, Tesetan opened his lips.

 

“How did Kamang know such a cool line? That’s something that can only appear in Puppet Monster theatrical releases!”

 

Tie, who had jumped up, ran around Tesetan in circles.

 

“It was so cool that Tie memorized it. Tie will always be by your side no matter what happens. I’ll always be there~”

 

Tesetan was at a loss for words at the sight of the child imitating an adult voice.

 

Knock knock-

 

The sound of quiet knocking was heard.

 

Through the open door, Livia peeked her head out.

 

“Ah, you’re awake as expected.”

 

After confirming Tie running around the room and Tesetan, she looked back at Aleric.

 

“I told you. I said it was okay to come, right?”

 

She said as she opened the door and entered.

 

“Regent. The village shared some food supplies, but where should we load them…”

 

“Aunt Livia!”

 

However, before Livia could finish speaking, Tie ran up to her and puffed out her chest.

 

“You know what, Tie will always be by Aunt Livia’s side no matter what happens!”

 

Livia’s eyes widened.

 

A bright smile formed on her face.

 

“Wow, really? That’s so touching?!”

 

“Right?!”

 

Next, Tie approached Aleric and grabbed his arm.

 

“Uncle Aleric too! Tie will follow you to the restroom and even to the grave!”

 

Bewilderment spread across Aleric’s face.

 

He glanced at Tesetan and trailed off his words.

 

“Um, thank you…?”

 

“Oh? It’s Hammer Basto! Hammer Basto!”

 

At that moment, Tie spotted Basto in the living room and burst through the door.

 

The child’s excited voice could be heard from outside.

 

“Tie will definitely stay by Hammer Basto’s side. Now it’s your turn, Hammer!”

 

“Hm?”

 

“You have to quickly tell Tie that you’ll stay by Tie’s side too.”

 

Livia looked at Tesetan as if asking what was going on.

 

Instead of answering, Tesetan closed his mouth.

 

Then he slowly rose from his seat and tidied up the bedding where Tie had slept.

 

After a while, he lifted his head and spoke with a hardened expression.

 

“Let’s go outside for now.”

 

Outside was already brightly lit.

 

Tie ran around with the Pompoms, breathing in the morning air.

 

The ash and dust that had been flying all night had settled, and the air carried a faint scent of earth.

 

“Brother Veil!”

 

“Yeah, Child. I already know you’ll keep staying by my side, so stop it now.”

 

“Okay!”

 

Tie answered cheerfully and ran with quick steps to stand at the boundary of the reed field.

 

In the distance.

 

A low mist hung over Roxe Forest.

 

Though it seemed gentle as if holding light, there was something unsettling about the mist.

 

Tie watched it for a moment and whispered to the Pompoms.

 

“Something feels strange. Right?”

 

Instead of answering, the Pompoms trembled.

 

Veil shouted from a distance.

 

“Child! Are you going to walk?”

 

Tie shook her head and quickly ran toward Veil.

 

Then she hurriedly climbed onto one side of the supply cart where her spot had been prepared.

 

As the cart began to move, people standing at the edge of the village waved their hands at Tie.

 

Among them were Ophilie and her niece Rene.

 

“Goodbye everyone! See you again next time!”

 

Tie waved back at them and then turned around.

 

As they entered the edge of the forest, the air gradually became cooler.

 

And Tie wasn’t the only one who thought so.

 

“…Isn’t it a bit cold?”

 

Victor nodded at Raul’s words.

 

Tesetan silently placed a blanket over Tie’s shoulders.

 

“First, we’ll go straight west. When we reach the cave where we stayed, we’ll turn north.”

 

At Lucalion’s words after checking ahead, the Paladins took the lead.

 

But Tie looked around and frowned.

 

“…Father.”

 

Tesetan bent down for her.

 

“Yes?”

 

“Why can’t we hear any bird sounds at all?”

 

Tesetan closed his mouth.

 

Indeed, the surroundings were quiet enough that not a single bird sound could be heard.

 

“There’s no wind either. It’s like the trees are holding their breath.”

 

Just then, the Paladins who had been walking ahead stopped.

 

The other members also came to a halt.

 

“Something…”

 

Just as Tie drooped her eyebrows and trailed off.

 

“It’s an ambush!”

 

Leonardo, who was at the front, shouted.

 

The next moment, something began pouring out from beyond the thick mist that surrounded them on all sides.
