A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 377

Information gathering was finished well past lunchtime.

As soon as Tie entered the empty house that Babon had provided, she collapsed to her knees with a thud.

“Oh, Tie’s voice…!”

Her voice came out hoarse from all the talking she had done.

Veil, who entered the house behind her, picked up the drooping Tie.

“Child. Are you okay?”

Tie lifted her head with an exhausted face.

“Veil, today Tie… learned what empathy is.”

“Empathy?”

“It means I learned how to think from other people’s perspectives. When Tie goes home, I’m going to apologize to Sabert Grandfather and Aunt Marshal.”

The unit members exchanged glances.

“How hard must it have been for them when Tie kept asking for interesting stories? And five times a day at that…”

Tie, held in Veil’s arms, shook her head back and forth.

“Being a secret agent is really hard work! Tie’s role was too important…!”

Veil burst into laughter.

“Child. What’s so important about your role! That’s what you get for doing things no one asked you to do…”

At that moment, Livia covered Veil’s mouth.

Basto, who had followed them in, also hurriedly stepped forward.

“Tie, Tie. You were amazing. If you hadn’t drawn the attention of the children here, investigating the monsters would have been impossible.”

Tie’s eyes filled with pride.

“Right?”

“Of course.”

Only then did Tie close her eyes slowly as if relieved.

Then exactly 3 seconds later, she began to sleep while snoring softly.

Veil’s eyes widened.

“What? Is the child sleeping right now?”

Aleric nodded.

Livia clicked her tongue a couple times as if Veil was pathetic and quietly laid out a blanket.

As soon as she was placed on the blanket, Tie stretched out her body in a spread-eagle position with her mouth half open.

“No wonder. She used up too much energy.”

Veil laughed.

Livia quietly glared at Veil and said.

“What are you saying. It’s still true that thanks to Miss, we were able to look around the forest.”

Livia’s words were correct.

Thanks to Tie gathering the neighborhood children in one place, the villagers were able to divide into three teams and explore all the nearby forests.

Of course, the unit members were with them too.

“There were no mastones or anything like that.”

Aleric said.

Veil also nodded.

“Right. There were no traces of monsters either.”

“But the villagers said they saw monsters. And not just one person, but several.”

A moment of silence passed.

Basto, who had been looking down at the sleeping Tie, made a serious expression.

“Well, we’ll know once we get through tonight.”

At sunset, the village became busy.

“Come on, hup! Hup!”

The lumberjacks gathered the remaining livestock together and pushed them into fences for easier defense.

Torches were set up throughout the village, and the women took the children inside their homes and locked the doors.

Basto fastened his coat and gazed at Tie, who was still fast asleep.

Perhaps because she had overexerted herself during the day, Tie showed no signs of waking up for several hours.

“It would be better to just let Miss rest.”

Livia said.

Basto nodded.

As Livia said, the night watch plan had already been established anyway.

Livia and Aleric would guard the stables in front of the cabin.

Basto and Veil would guard the stables at the village entrance.

Just then, someone entered the courtyard and called for them.

When they opened the door, Babon, fully armed, was waiting for them.

“Are you all ready?”

“Yes.”

Babon now looked at Livia and Aleric.

“Anyway, there’s no chance the monsters will push all the way to these stables.”

He pointed to the village entrance visible in the distance beyond the fence.

“Since they came through that road last night, today probably won’t be much different. As long as we block them well, we should be able to turn those villains back at the entrance, so don’t worry.”

Aleric nodded.

The lumberjacks had driven sheep, chickens, and ducks into the stables at the village entrance.

And horses, cattle, and pigs into the stables behind the cabin.

It was their determination to somehow protect the relatively valuable large animals.

“This time the damage should be minimal, really…”

Bird sounds were already starting to be heard from far away.

In the short time, the surroundings had become completely dark.

Babon, who had lit a torch, took the lead.

“Well then, let’s go.”

Basto and Veil followed behind.

Around the time they disappeared over the fence, Aleric and Livia also made eye contact.

“Well, we should also slowly…”

Aleric nodded to Livia, who was muttering awkwardly.

The two silently took positions where they could clearly see the second stables.

On the opposite side, several lumberjacks were standing facing the edge of the village, keeping watch.

How much time had passed like that?

Snap-

Suddenly, the sound of something stepping on a tree branch came from not far away.

Livia, who had sharp hearing, turned her head first.

“…Did you hear that?”

Aleric nodded.

He looked toward the quiet village entrance, then used magic to create a glowing orb at his fingertips.

Then he pushed the orb toward where the sound came from, slowly illuminating the surroundings.

But at that moment.

“Neighhhhhh-!!”

The sound of a fence breaking and a horse’s cry tore through the midnight silence.

“Over there-!”

“It’s not the entrance!”

The village entrance area became chaotic.

Torches flickered in the darkness, and Livia and Aleric began running toward the inside of the second stables.

However, before they could properly assess the situation.

“Squawwwk-! Squawk!”

“Neighhhhhh-!!!”

The presence of something that had intruded into the stables caused the livestock to start going wild.

A startled cow threw its body against the fence, and the pigs scattered here and there, squealing loudly.

“Damn it, where are they!”

Livia, who had jumped over the stable fence while gripping her sword, swept her gaze in all directions.

However, as the lumberjacks had said, the mysterious creatures that might have been monsters were small in size.

This meant it was difficult to chase them in the darkness using only sight.

“Neigh-!”

Meanwhile, the situation inside the stables was becoming increasingly chaotic.

When one horse kicked with its hind legs, a precarious scene unfolded where pigs nearly got crushed underneath.

This was the result of housing livestock together that would normally never be kept in the same place, to make it easier to defend against attacks.

“Everyone come out! Protect the stables!”

The lumberjacks who had been scattered throughout the village gathered together.

However, they soon found themselves unable to move from their positions.

“No!”

From both sides of the stables came a series of rumbling, heavy sounds.

This was because the piled log stacks had tilted and collapsed as if the wedges supporting them had come loose.

Crash-! Clang clatter!

The logs rolled down and blocked the path.

Logs that would require five or six people to lift bounced off each other and struck the ground.

“The lumber yard has collapsed!”

“Move aside! Let me through!”

The lumberjacks rushed forward, but it wasn’t easy.

The heavy logs were tangled together as if interlocked, completely blocking the path.

“Aleric!”

Livia shouted as she lunged at any monster in sight.

Aleric hastily summoned two more glowing orbs to surround Livia.

The surroundings became faintly bright.

At least five, no, six mysterious creatures were herding the livestock into one place.

Cold sweat ran down Livia’s forehead.

At this rate, the lumberjacks might lose their livestock once again, or she herself could get hurt.

But then.

Creak-

The backdoor of the cabin opened cautiously.

“Mmm, why is it so noisy.”

What emerged from inside was Tie.

Tie rubbed her eyes and looked at Livia over the fence.

“Huh? Aunt Livia?”

Livia’s face turned deathly pale.

Aleric extended a barrier toward Tie with his other hand.

But at that very moment.

Suddenly, the monsters’ movements stopped simultaneously.

The shadows that had been charging forward soon began looking at Tie one by one,

Kirruk-

The creatures made strange crying sounds.

The aggressiveness they had shown until just moments ago completely disappeared, and instead their cries seemed to contain uncertainty and even some fear.

Shortly after, as if confused, they took one step back, then another step back…

“They’re, they’re running away! The monsters are fleeing!”

They left the livestock behind, turned around, and began running toward the forest.

“Tie!”

Basto and Veil, who had run to the front of the cabin, were breathing heavily.

Livia stood dumbfounded in the middle of the stables, blinking in disbelief.

“What were those things…?”

However, the monsters.

No, the shadows of unknown identity had already fled with their tails between their legs.
