A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 372

Crunch-

The sound of three children eating snacks quietly echoed inside the tent.

The man and elder who had been running the stall were dragged away by Basto and Veil.

Tie sat down occupying one corner of the stall.

Of course, beside her were the young siblings who had been mistreated by their owner just moments ago.

“Um, thank you.”

Tana, the girl who was the older sister of the siblings, smiled brightly.

“And thank you for giving snacks to Roble too!”

Tana gestured toward her younger brother.

Then Roble, who had been sucking on sugar candy while his nose was running, bowed his head to Tie.

Tie twisted her body and smiled shyly.

“Mm-hmm, it’s okay. It’s nothing much.”

Then she glanced sideways at the siblings eating their snacks.

“Roble. Why is your nose running so much? Come here.”

“Ew, it’s cold.”

Tana wiped Roble’s long runny nose with her sleeve.

Roble whined but obediently let his sister tend to his face.

Tie’s eyebrows drooped.

‘I’m jealous…’

How nice would it be if Tie had a younger sibling too?

If she had a sibling, Tie could take good care of them just like Tana took care of Roble.

‘When I’m bored we could play together, study together, sleep together…’

Just as she was having such thoughts.

“It’s resolved.”

Veil and Basto walked over from behind the market with relieved faces.

“They were supplying snacks all across the country? The talk about medicinal ingredients was all lies.”

Tie nodded as if she had expected as much.

“The matter was bigger than expected so we sent them to The Order. Ha. When those guys arrive, I really want to meet them at The Order. How surprised will they be?”

However, Veil, who had been chuckling, soon hesitated.

He had noticed that Tie’s expression looked somewhat dejected.

He bent down to look at Tie’s face.

“Child, why do you look so down? I even let you eat lots of sweets. Did someone bother you again? Huh?”

Tie looked at Veil, who was shaking her shoulders, and let out a deep sigh.

Then she looked around at the Members and asked.

“Why doesn’t Tie have a younger sibling?”

“Huh, what?”

Veil froze with a flustered expression.

This time Tie turned her gaze to Basto.

“Tie wants a younger sibling too. Why won’t Mother and Father make Tie a younger sibling?”

Livia scratched her head.

Aleric was staring with wide eyes as if bewildered.

When no one could answer, Basto had no choice but to speak up.

“Tie. Your younger sibling is waiting for a fairy up there.”

Tie looked up at the sky that Basto was pointing to.

“Up there?”

Basto nodded.

“That’s right. Originally, all unborn babies are waiting up there. Then when they’re ready to come down, they ride a fairy and come down.”

Tie’s mouth fell open.

“They ride a fairy into Mother’s belly?!”

“That’s right.”

Tie gulped.

Indeed.

If it was a fairy, it really seemed like they could put a baby into Mother’s belly.

“I see. It’s not that there isn’t one, but that they haven’t come yet…!”

Thinking that way made her feel much better.

“They’re waiting until the fairy comes to get them!”

The Members smiled awkwardly at her clapping and delighted appearance.

Veil whispered to Basto.

“Isn’t that too much?”

“What is?”

“You should have just said babies come from holding hands while sleeping.”

“That would make things worse.”

“Make things worse how?”

“She’d try to monitor whether Mother and Father hold hands while sleeping every night.”

“Ah…”

Veil closed his mouth with an enlightened expression.

Just then.

“Tana! Roble!”

Someone’s voice was heard from beyond the bustling crowd.

“Tana! Roble! Come in for dinner! Hurry!”

When she turned her head, the siblings who had finished their snacks were getting up from their seats.

Tie looked at the children with a regretful expression.

“So Tana and Roble live here? You eat dinner really early…?”

Tana smiled brightly and nodded.

“Mm-hmm. Our house always eats dinner early!”

“Why?”

“Because Mother runs an inn, we have to eat quickly so she can prepare dinner for the guests.”

“An inn? Really?”

Tie’s face brightened as she asked back.

The child looked around at the Members and shouted excitedly.

“Wow, we were looking for an inn too!”

“Mother! We’re back!”

Marishan, who had been placing a soup pot on the round dining table, quickly looked up.

Sweat was beading on her forehead from moving busily in front of the kitchen fire.

Hearing the approaching footsteps, Marishan sighed.

“You kids really, you said you’d just play for a bit and come back, but what time is it now! Every time the market opens, Mother can’t survive! Always begging me to buy those expensive snacks!”

Roble came around the corner running with quick steps and hugged Marishan.

Marishan reflexively examined Roble’s face and her eyes widened.

It was because the child had crumbs from those damn expensive snacks sold at 【Flamburus Confectionery】 around his mouth.

“Roble! Did you eat snacks? Where did the money come from? Where is your sister? You didn’t steal them, did you…?”

Just then.

Another set of footsteps was heard rumbling, and a group of people appeared before Marishan.

Three men, one woman, and one child.

Marishan stood up with a bewildered expression.

‘It’s still too early for guests to visit…’

The next moment.

“Hello, boss! I’m Tie!”

The pretty-looking child bowed politely to Marishan in greeting.

“We came because we want to stay at the inn for just one night! Here’s our mother, our father and uncles, and….”

The child added with a bright smile.

“I have a younger sibling like Tana too, but my sibling is in heaven!”

“Oh, my goodness.”

Marishan unconsciously covered her mouth with both hands.

“Eat up. Hurry and eat.”

Livia couldn’t close her mouth at the feast spread before her eyes.

Marishan’s rough but warm hand repeatedly stroked Livia’s hand.

“How much heartache must this young mother have endured… Please eat quickly. Okay?”

“Ah, yes. Then….”

As Livia, feeling like she was sitting on thorns, picked up her utensils, the other members also began picking up their utensils one by one.

Marishan smiled watching Tana and Roble who began eating their meal as if it would disappear in the blink of an eye.

“What should I do about our kids being indebted to you? Even when I told them not to, they kept going and standing in front of that bakery.”

“They, they did…?”

“Yes. When I tried them, they all just tasted like sugar. Maybe it’s because medicine is added, but the price was so expensive that I deliberately didn’t buy them anymore after the first few times.”

“Our father never bought them for us either! He said they’d rot our teeth!”

Tie, who had stopped eating and raised one hand, said.

Marishan stroked Tie’s head like that and looked at Aleric.

“The child’s father must be firm. You’re doing well. Originally, fathers should play that kind of role.”

Marishan, who had said that, glanced at the siblings and let out a sigh.

Basto, who noticed that sigh, asked.

“If it’s not rude to ask, may I inquire whether you run this inn alone?”

Marishan raised her head.

“Pardon?”

“The inn seems a bit large for you to operate alone, ma’am.”

“Ah.”

Marishan smiled awkwardly.

“Alone, you say. It’s an inn I run together with my husband. Right now I’m alone because my husband had to go somewhere due to circumstances….”

Marishan, who had been picking at her soup, put down her utensils.

“I don’t know why men are like that. I told him let’s just run the inn well, but he said raising kids costs a lot of money and insisted on doing work he didn’t need to do.”

“It seems he’s gone somewhere far.”

“Don’t even get me started.”

Marishan pressed her forehead.

“He left two months ago saying he’d participate in the Northern Disaster Region reconstruction work. As you can see, he still hasn’t returned.”

“You mean the disaster region?”

Basto asked, hesitating.

The other members had also put down their utensils and were focusing on Marishan’s words.

Marishan, who looked around, nodded her head.

“That’s right? There was a big typhoon in the north that caused tremendous damage. The Northern Lord even came to our village to recruit people to rebuild it….”
