A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 375

After leaving the village, clear weather continued for several days.

A cool breeze blew under the white clouds, and sunlight broken through the leaves poured into the carriage.

Tie took a deep breath with her usual cheerful expression.

“The forest smell is so nice. I want to keep smelling it!”

When the child stuck her head out the window, Veil wrapped around Tie’s forehead.

“Don’t stick out too far. What if you get scratched by a branch?”

Tie unusually nodded her head obediently.

Then she grabbed the window frame with both hands and watched the forest.

The soft soil on the ground, unlike the stone paths of the Imperial Palace.

Even the squirrels and birds that ran away between the trees upon seeing the carriage.

“Hehe.”

Was it because she remembered the old days when she was active as Agavert?

Tie giggled secretly at the tickling feeling in her chest.

Then she turned around and stared at Veil, who was shaking an empty water bottle.

“Brother Veil, when will we arrive? You said we were almost there.”

“We should be almost there, right?”

Veil nodded and pulled out a map from his chest.

“We came about here yesterday, so by now we should be around here…”

“Aaah! Master! Please save me!”

At that moment, an urgent scream came from outside the carriage.

When she turned her head, she saw Marbas bouncing along beside the carriage.

Behind him, Ppupppu was chasing Marbas with a terrifying expression, swinging his trunk.

Tie sighed.

“Why do Marul and Ppupppu always fight?”

“Rather than fighting, isn’t Marul just getting one-sidedly scolded?”

Veil added as if it was amusing.

“From what I can see, if that guy Marul just didn’t open his mouth, his lifespan would increase by about half.”

Tie shook her head and put both hands on her hips.

Then she shouted to the spirits circling around the carriage.

“Stop it! Both of you stop and come inside!”

Ppupppu snorted and made a “tsk” sound with his trunk.

Then he quickly climbed onto the carriage that Basto had stopped.

Marbas, watching Ppupppu’s mood, circled around the cargo hold once.

Then he hesitantly entered through the door opposite to where Ppupppu had entered.

“Ugh, you guys stop fighting already, seriously. I’m dying of sleepiness…”

Livia grumbled, having been woken from her sweet afternoon nap by the spirits’ commotion.

Aleric didn’t take his eyes off the book he was reading, regardless of whether his surroundings were noisy or not.

Tie put one hand on her hip again.

Then she spoke with a stern expression.

“You guys. Are you going to cause such a ruckus when we get to Norvelt Barony too?”

Ppupppu rolled his eyes around to avoid Tie’s gaze.

Marbas was trembling behind Livia, who had fallen asleep again.

“I think you’re mistaken about something, but we’re not here to play!”

Veil burst into laughter.

For the past few days, Tie had been excited all day, saying it felt like camping.

Yet she was sitting the spirits down and telling them they weren’t here to play?

However, Tie was already completely absorbed in scolding the spirits.

“Mother said, right? We are secret royal inspectors. Marul, you explain. What is a secret royal inspector!”

At the opportunity to legally show off his knowledge, Marbas stepped forward with a nervous face.

“Ah, what is a secret royal inspector, you ask!”

Then he explained while watching Ppupppu’s mood.

“Secret surveillance agents in the history of South Korea where Master lived, who mainly received the king’s orders to hide their identities and tour the provinces, detecting corruption that was difficult to catch through official administrative systems…!”

“Right! They were incredibly cool and strong secret agents!”

Tie waved her hands and interrupted Marbas’s words.

“Have you guys seen secret agents fighting among themselves? Have you seen them noisily playing around and running about? Huh?”

“Ahem.”

This time Basto coughed from outside the carriage.

Last night.

It was because Tie had run around more enthusiastically than anyone else when camping in the forest, trying to catch fireflies.

“Anyway! Since we’re almost there now, we need to be faithful to our duties. Do you understand Mother’s words or not?”

“We understand!”

“…Hmph.”

Only then did Tie nod her head.

Then she looked out the window again with a solemn expression,

“Huh?!”

As if nothing had happened, she jumped up from her seat.

“Miss? What’s wrong?”

Startled Livia woke up from her sleep.

Aleric and Veil also turned their heads.

Tie pointed outside the window and said.

“Look over there! Someone cut down all the trees!”

Tie was right.

Basto slowed down and looked beyond the curved road.

Indeed, the density of the forest had somehow thinned.

The gaps between the dense trees had widened, and traces of stumps left from cutting could be seen scattered on the ground.

Veil, who had examined the map, said.

“Ah. I think we’ve really arrived?”

Then he showed Tie a point on the map.

“The logging district located in the southeast of Norvelt Barony. I think this is that place.”

Tie unconsciously opened her mouth.

Looking out the window again, she began to see shabby civilian residences lined up in the distance.

Basto said.

“This is strange. The village is too quiet.”

Aleric got out of the carriage.

Tie carefully followed behind him and looked around.

Footprints were messily left on the dirt road.

Laundry was hanging beyond the fence, and smoke was rising from the chimneys of several houses.

“Right? It definitely seems like people live here. But why can’t we see a single soul?”

Just when even Livia tilted her head in confusion.

“Let’s go! Let’s find them and completely wipe out every last one of them!”

“I said no! Who knows what kind of guys they are, oh my!”

Suddenly the inside of the village became noisy.

When they turned their heads, they could see people who appeared to be lumberjacks rushing out from around the corner.

Behind them, women and children were trying to stop them while bursting into tears.

“Don’t just stand there, do something! Everyone hurry and stop them!”

“Honey, don’t go. It’s too dangerous! Let’s just wait until people come from The Order!”

“Waaah, Father, don’t go!”

But the lumberjacks didn’t stop.

They only advanced forward with saws, axes, and pickaxes in hand, wearing terrifying expressions.

However, before long, they came to a stop.

The woman and children who had been chasing behind also stopped in their tracks with bewildered faces.

Everyone’s gaze turned toward Tie and the unit members standing at the village entrance.

A moment of silence followed, then one of the most well-built lumberjacks stepped forward.

“Who are you people?”

Basto looked back with a troubled expression.

After exchanging glances with Veil, he spoke.

“Excuse us. We’re ordinary travelers, wondering if we could stay in the village for about a day.”

“Ordinary travelers?”

The lumberjack’s eyes gleamed sharply.

He slowly looked over Basto’s shoulders, chest, and thick forearms before snorting.

“With a body like that, what traveler! Be honest. You’re a lumberjack like us too, aren’t you?!”

“Pardon?”

The lumberjack looked over Tie, Veil, Aleric, and Livia as if astounded.

“It’s obvious. You must have heard rumors that our side pays the best daily wages in the North and came here. But what can we do? We can’t cut trees for the time being.”

The lumberjack strode closer, set down his thick axe beside him, and placed something he’d been carrying on his back in front of the group.

“Waaah!”

Tie immediately covered her face with both hands after seeing what it was.

Livia quickly picked up Tie while her eyes flashed.

“…A pig?”

What the lumberjack had set down was a pale pig carcass.

The strange thing was that the beast’s neck was mangled as if torn by something with an uneven bite.

“We’re on our way to hunt monsters!”

The lumberjack shouted.

“Over the past few months, there were several people who said they saw monsters in the forest. But we figured they must have seen wrong. After all, didn’t all the monsters disappear 12 years ago? Thanks to the efforts of His Imperial Majesty, Mercenary Unit Agavert, and the Sorcerer King!”

At hearing their own names from the lumberjack’s mouth, Veil rolled his eyes and Basto cleared his throat.

Tie peeked her head out from behind Livia’s back to look at the lumberjack.

The lumberjack sighed.

“But last night, this disaster finally happened. It was definitely a monster! The creatures that appeared from somewhere, well, they did this to all the village livestock!”
