A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 35

[Master. Master, Master….]

Tie stepped back a little.

‘Tie’s ears are acting strange.’

The surroundings were definitely noisy, but the voice was as clear as if she were hearing it alone in an empty auditorium.

[Master, I’ve been waiting. I’ve been waiting.]

The eerie voice kept repeating the same words, echoing endlessly.

Tie nervously swallowed her saliva.

In the distance, the battle was still raging.

The people on the ship were now dealing with flying monsters as well.

In short, it was chaos. There was no time.

‘Who are you?’

When she asked inwardly, an answer came.

[Master, we are your servants.]

Her eyes widened.

Servants.

‘If they’re servants, then they’re subordinates?’

But Tie didn’t have any subordinates speaking to her from the dark sea.

‘Tie doesn’t have servants. Tie’s subordinates are only Uncle Basto, Brother Veil, and Nordics Grandfather…?’

[No. We were here first. We have always been in this place. For Master. Only for Master.]

But the ‘Tie’s subordinates’ in the sea were stubborn.

Tie pondered seriously, then asked with half-doubt.

‘Then can you help Tie right now?’

Tie’s gaze had been fixed on the open sea where Basto and Veil were.

The ship the Magistrate had lent them was already half-destroyed.

‘Will you do anything Tie asks?’

At this rate, the ship would surely sink into the sea and everyone would fall into the water.

Basto, Veil, and the Magistrate’s two sons were all in danger.

Then an answer came.

Relief gradually spread across Tie’s face as she mulled over those words.

Soon, a small word flowed from the child’s mouth.

“Then me, I need a ship right now.”

“Hey! Snap out of it!”

Raul’s eyes snapped open at the hand slapping his cheek.

His blurry vision shook as it came into focus, revealing a face.

A pale, round face shape.

Large, sharp-ended eyes with jet-black pupils inside them.

He was staring blankly at what was clearly a considerable beauty when she slapped his other cheek.

“Can’t you hear me telling you to snap out of it!”

“Gasp!”

Raul reflexively got up from his position.

Whether from shock, the events before he collapsed flashed quickly through his mind.

Right, he had definitely been enjoying fishing with Enzo.

Then suddenly a storm came, and while trying to avoid the whirlpool that formed in the sea, they crashed their boat into something.

“…Mastone.”

“That’s right, you bastard! Now that you’ve come to your senses about the situation, hurry up and get up!”

Raul gaped at the woman’s speech, which contrasted with her beautiful appearance.

When he turned his gaze, the dark sky came into view.

The heavy rain was still pouring, and the wind was getting stronger.

“Why are you in this place?!”

Raul asked without realizing it.

Though he couldn’t understand what was what, this place where he was looked dangerous at first glance.

It wasn’t a place for a delicate woman to be.

Just then, the ship tilted greatly and the left deck rose upward.

Raul grabbed the nearest railing and reached his hand toward the woman.

However, the woman was already hanging onto something on her own.

“We need to get to the big ship! Your brother already went!”

Brother—was she talking about Enzo?

Only then did he notice another much larger ship attached to the one he was on.

Flying monsters were circling around the mast that soared into the sky, and battle was raging below.

The strange thing was,

“What are they doing right now?”

Why were people fighting among themselves?

They should be targeting the monsters together, so why….

The woman climbed up holding the railing and replied irritably.

“You’re just like your brother. Even in this situation you’re asking questions? Do you really need to know that right now? Huh?”

She glared at Raul with fierce eyes, then quickly continued.

“I’ll only say this once, so listen carefully. Me, that Chubby Man, him, him, him and him are innocent civilians who came to rescue you and are now stuck about to die.”

“….”

“That bastard over there and those beggar-like things with red armbands are Death Hound mercenary group members. They’re absolute bastards who deserve to die for interfering with us trying to safely take you to land and making the situation like this.”

Raul’s eyes widened.

He roughly understood the situation.

‘Are this person and their companions people Mother hired?’

But for some reason, the Death Hounds mercenary group attacked them, putting everyone in danger.

His brow furrowed involuntarily.

He knew that disputes over interests were frequent among mercenaries.

‘But to pull this kind of stunt even while a Mastone is open.’

It was when his gaze turned to the monsters gliding through the sky.

“It’s not just the sky, so if you want to live, get your head straight.”

He turned his head at the woman’s voice.

He saw something terrible climbing up the opposite deck.

Hundreds of eyeballs attached to a glistening surface.

Something crawling up the deck while crushing various parts of the ship with what looked like twenty tentacles….

It was a monster that had never been known before.

‘…Damn.’

His spine went cold with instinctive fear.

Though he had somewhat expected it when he saw the Mastone rising from the sea before losing consciousness, the situation was serious.

“First, first we need to get up there….”

The moment Raul gestured toward the stern of the small ship precariously hanging on the edge of the large ship.

Kugugugugung-

The hull shook violently from the fierce waves.

“Hey! You…!”

His body seemed to float, then his grip suddenly gave out.

Raul blinked in the slowly flowing time.

‘Raul, Enzo. What is a Paladin’s mission on the battlefield?’

An old voice suddenly crossed his mind.

It was the question Father had asked the twins on the day four units had joined forces to siege a large Mastone.

That day, Raul and Enzo had been sitting in front of a campfire when they answered with laughter.

‘Why ask such a thing? Obviously, it’s to annihilate the enemy.’

Father looked at the twins and smiled faintly, then came over to sit beside them with a thud and continued speaking.

‘Usually, that’s true. But this father’s mission is a little different.’

‘Huh?’

‘My mission is to protect you two. I promised your mother that.’

‘….’

‘It might not be ideal for a paladin, but you and your mother are more precious to me. You know?’

The hand that stroked their heads was gentle and warm.

Father had ultimately kept his mission.

He had saved Raul and Enzo, fighting at the front before dying in battle.

‘…Father.’

What Father had wanted for the twins was only one thing.

To survive without dying.

A wave that had splashed up beside him shattered in midair.

As cold water splashed on his face, he instinctively knew.

It seemed Raul wouldn’t be able to fulfill Father’s wish.

In his slowly flowing vision.

The monster’s tentacle he had seen moments before swept past right beside him.

The moment he took a deep breath and squeezed his eyes shut.

“Young master! Hold on!”

There was a tremendous crash, and something completely crushed both the deck they had been standing on and the entire monster.

Raul fell not into the freezing sea or the monster’s mouth, but onto something soft.

As he gasped and opened his eyes, he saw straw flying through the air.

“What the…!”

“Young master!”

Something came into his field of vision.

Hair glistening wet with water.

Eyes shining light green as if they contained spring’s verdure.

Plump cheeks and small front teeth visible between parted lips.

“Young master! It’s okay now! Tie came to rescue you!”

It was a child.

‘What… how did this happen?’

Raul had been about to fall into the sea teeming with monsters.

The ship had been on the verge of sinking, and he had thought there was no way to survive.

His gaze, which had settled on one spot, began to tremble finely.

The place where Raul was lying was the deck of an enormous ship.

It was a bit damp, but covered with plenty of straw.

In the distance, he could see a torn flag fluttering in the wind.

The wood forming the masts, deck, and railings was rotted in places with holes throughout.

Yet even so, the ship’s imposing presence was tremendous.

“Hey! Child, you…!”

Then the woman who had awakened Raul came running from somewhere.

Like Raul, she gaped open-mouthed as she looked around the ship.

Between the two people as silence fell, a bright and bashful voice rang out.

“Veil! Tie summoned the big ship, no, the sailboat!”
