A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 369

“Child!”

“Tie!”

Veil and Basto threw down their respective weapons and ran toward the entrance.

“Why did you come here! It’s dusty!”

Veil quickly brought his sleeve to Tie’s nose.

Then Livia slapped his hand away and covered the child’s eyes with a clean handkerchief, tying it firmly at the back of her head.

Tie, now looking like a little assassin, smiled with her eyes crinkled.

“We’re leaving in just three more sleeps~ I was curious if everyone was doing well.”

At the affectionate voice, a soft smile formed on Veil’s lips.

“Ha, really, Child, why are you counting that again? There’s not much time left anyway.”

“But I want to go quickly, so that’s why.”

“I want to go quickly too, Tie.”

Basto approached and lifted Tie up in his arms.

When he rubbed his face against her cheek, Tie burst into giggles.

“You remember when we first met, right? It’ll be just like then. We’ll travel together cozily, and make carrot soup too.”

“Yes!”

“If there are villages nearby, it would be nice to stop at inns and rest. If there are taverns, should we go to taverns too? Tie, you can have a glass of strawberry juice.”

“Good! So good!”

“Really. What should we do if even Basto is acting like this?”

Aleric, who had been watching, approached and spoke with a pleased expression.

“This is supposedly an inspection mission. It’s an important task that Emperor entrusted to our mercenary group.”

Basto scratched the back of his neck sheepishly.

“Still, it’s been such a long time since I’ve had an outing with Tie…”

“That may be true, but it’s also a fact that we must stay as alert as possible. Don’t you know that the cause of all accidents is complacency and negligence?”

“Ah, Aleric, don’t be such a killjoy!”

Livia covered Aleric’s mouth.

“It’s fine to be a little lax mentally. How can people always be tense? Sometimes you need to loosen the screws a bit to have fun, you fool.”

“Uhahahaha!”

Perhaps finding Livia’s mention of screws funny, Tie burst into laughter.

Aleric looked down with troubled eyes.

Livia pushed such Aleric away and grinned at Tie.

“Miss, just ignore what that stuffy mage says. That’s all because he can’t get a girlfriend, a girlfriend.”

At the mention of girlfriend, Aleric’s expression hardened.

However, Livia continued speaking with chuckles.

“He probably thought he and I were on the same level. But what was reality? After the big job was finished, people lined up in front of me~ but not a single person wanted to meet that Aleric…”

“What are you talking about. Aleric was popular, you know?”

Veil cut off Livia’s words as if dumbfounded.

“You just don’t know, Livia. A few months ago, even the second daughter of some Jedo nobleman stepped forward…!”

“That’s enough, Veil.”

Aleric sighed and shook his head at Veil.

Veil made a “huh” sound and closed his mouth, then ruffled his hair in frustration.

“No, you are, ah, never mind. Both of you really…!”

He glared at Livia, grinding his teeth.

“What would you know, Livia. You’ve spent your whole life slicing monsters, so you can’t see anything else.”

“What. Why is this guy suddenly picking a fight?”

“Ah, it’s frustrating! What kind of woman has such terrible awareness? Instead of learning butchery or whatever, look around you more!”

“Hey! Are you disrespecting my profession right now?! Everyone says I have talent! All the premium meat distributed inside the Boundary of the Old Gods recently was deboned by me!”

“Right, you must be so pleased to be Talochium’s rising new butcher!”

“Ah, I’m not a butcher, I’m a meat processing technician!”

The two people’s voices grew louder.

Basto shook his head as if he had expected this.

Then he started walking out of the training ground while holding Tie.

“Let’s go in first, Tie. Are you hungry?”

“Yes.”

Tie wrapped both arms around Basto’s neck.

Then she looked over his shoulder at the members who were still fighting, as if finding it interesting.

“You should take that money the country gives you and spend it freely with Aleric, going out and having fun! What are you fussing about learning something new!”

“You fool, what do you know?! A lazy bum like you just rolls around in an idle manor. People who live diligently like me can’t do that even if told to!”

“What?! Did I play around? Did I play around?!”

“Of course you did! Did you think we wouldn’t know that Basto does all the cooking, laundry, and cleaning?! Always coming to the Princess’s Palace and calling out the busy Miss!”

“Ah! Basto came too! He also rushed here every day as soon as the housework was done!”

“That’s something to be proud of, you fool!”

Tie looked up at Basto.

“Hammer. Why do Veil and Aunt Livia always fight?”

Basto tilted his head with a serious face.

“Well, Veil seems to do it because Livia is frustrating. And Livia is…”

“…”

“I think she acts like that because she’s oblivious and her temper isn’t that great either.”

“Aha!”

Tie nodded vigorously as if she understood.

Then she swung her legs back and forth in Basto’s arms.

The departure day arrived quickly.

“Do well and come back. If anything happens, contact us right away.”

Ardiana hugged Tie tightly and then released her from her embrace.

The child held a communication device in her hand and smiled brightly.

“Mm-hmm!”

Tie was dressed in comfortable and modest clothes like the commoners from the outskirts of Jedo.

Wearing a white shirt with buttons and beige suspender pants underneath, she looked absolutely adorable.

“The adults will take care of all the important things, so you should think of it as going on a trip and have fun, okay?”

“Yes!”

The child who answered energetically gave Ardiana a loud kiss on the cheek.

Then she ran to Tesetan who was standing beside her, gave him a quick kiss too, and said.

“Father, Tie will be back! Have a cozy time together with Mother while I’m gone!”

All the members who were waiting to depart with the servants burst into laughter.

Tie laughed along even though she didn’t know why they were laughing.

Soon the child ran over and climbed onto the waiting carriage.

The interior of the carriage was comfortably decorated, unlike its exterior.

It was Ardiana’s choice, considering Tie who would have to travel for a long time.

“Hehehe, it smells like hay!”

Seeing the pile of hay loaded in the cargo hold as horse feed, Tie burst into laughter.

Basto, sitting in the coachman’s seat, smiled warmly, and Veil reached his hand out the window to signal departure.

“Goodbye everyone!”

The carriage that began to depart slowly exited through the backdoor of the Imperial Palace.

When that sight became as small as a bean.

Tesetan looked at Ardiana and shrugged his shoulders.

“I think I’m a little hurt. She gave me just a quick kiss and didn’t even cry.”

“That’s because Tie isn’t just a baby anymore.”

“Right?”

“Of course. I’m so happy seeing our daughter growing up well.”

The couple held hands tightly and watched the backdoor close before turning around.

“Mother, Father…”

They had no idea that Tie had cried briefly once the Imperial Palace was no longer visible.

Of course, Tie stopped crying quickly.

Though she felt a little scared thinking about being separated from Mother and Father, her heart began pounding with excitement as soon as they left Jedo.

“Trees! Brother Veil, trees!”

“Child. Anyone watching would think you’re seeing trees for the first time.”

“It’s my first time seeing such big trees!”

“Liar. You saw dozens, no, hundreds of trees much bigger than those in the Central Continent, didn’t you?”

“Mmph…”

Sire rolled her eyes and avoided Veil’s gaze.

At that moment, Basto opened the window at the front of the carriage with a sliding sound and asked.

“Tie. You decide. We’ll have to camp tonight, but starting the evening after tomorrow there should be villages where we can rest. Should we stop by briefly, or head straight north?”

Tie’s complexion brightened.
