A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 382

“Lady Livia! Li, Lady Livia!”

Marbas bounced on the floor, calling out to Livia as quietly as possible.

It was because it seemed like trouble would arise if the soldiers heard his voice.

But what was this.

‘This is a disaster!’

Livia just kept walking forward, clutching Aleric’s glove tightly in one hand.

Judging by her expression, she was definitely lost in some other serious thoughts.

The problem was that the other unit members seemed to be in a similar state as her.

“When I was in the south…”

Basto was distracted, responding to the chattering soldier.

Veil was examining the ceiling and surrounding walls thoroughly, but never looked back.

“Lord Krazaru! What should we do?!”

Marbas had no choice but to turn around again.

He was trying to seek advice from Krazaru on how to handle this situation, but,

“Ugh! Lord Krazaru!”

Ppupppu was already running on short legs toward where Tie had gone.

Marbas looked at the unit members once, then at the departing Krazaru once, before closing his eyes tightly and shouting.

“I, I’m coming too!”

Then he began bouncing at full speed, chasing after Krazaru.

“Huff, huff…!”

Tie panted as she quickened her pace.

Was it because her heart was too urgent?

In her mind, there was neither the thought that she had let go of Livia’s hand, nor that she should return before someone noticed.

‘Pompom!’

The reason was that while receiving guidance from the soldiers, she had seen something similar to Pompom in the corridor on the opposite side.

‘I didn’t see it wrong. It really was Pompom!’

A fluffy body like dandelion seeds.

Even the round shape that sparkled brightly.

The Pompoms that always shared their power with Tie whenever she needed it were somehow in this manor!

‘But why are the Pompoms here?’

The Pompoms were baby spirits that the World Tree had given as a gift to Tie.

To join forces when fighting Luciano.

However, the Pompoms had disappeared when Tie lost her memory, and had never once shown themselves before Tie since then.

‘Could it be an illusion?’

As she entered deeper and darker corridors, Tie rubbed her eyes vigorously.

‘Maybe Tie saw an illusion because she missed Pompom too much?’

At that moment, stone stairs with a gaping opening below appeared at the end of the corridor.

Tie gulped at the damp humidity rising from below.

As her reason suddenly returned, Tie finally realized that the situation had become strange.

‘Gasp, come to think of it, I’ve lost the unit members!’

But she had already come too far to go back.

Moreover…

Boing- Boing-

At the very bottom of the stairs, that Pompom from earlier moved again, bouncing its body here and there.

As if telling Tie to come closer.

Tie took a deep breath and closed her eyes tightly before opening them.

“…Right. Tie isn’t scared of things like this at all.”

The secret hidden in Norvelt Barony seemed impressive somehow.

But even so, it couldn’t compare to the Order’s secrets and the secret of her own birth that Tie had experienced long ago.

‘Let’s go!’

Having made up her mind, Tie carefully stepped down toward the bottom of the stairs.

Immediately, the smell of wet earth mixed with metal stung her nose.

When she finally reached the bottom of the stairs, a narrow passage surrounded by stone walls revealed itself.

The surroundings were so dark that without the lanterns hanging at intervals on the walls, she wouldn’t have been able to move forward.

Float-

Then once again, Pompom sparkled at the far end of the passage.

“Wait…!”

Tie cried out urgently and moved toward that direction.

The closer she got to Pompom, the more her heart tickled.

It felt like returning to the old days when she freely commanded spirits, close friends, and subordinates.

But at that moment, Pompom turned around the corner of the passage and disappeared.

When Tie also hurriedly followed around that corner.

“…Huh?”

Her steps naturally stopped at the scene unfolding before her eyes.

Thick iron bars.

And a person crouched inside them.

“What the…”

As if he had spotted Tie, he slowly raised his head.

Tie looked at the man’s face with surprised eyes.

A beard that had grown thick and cheeks that were gaunt and deeply sunken.

However, the deep double eyelids and slightly drooping eyes were definitely…

‘Exactly like Tana?’

He looked exactly like Tana, who had been Aunt Marishan’s daughter.

“Hey, little one!”

At that moment, the man called out to Tie with a cracked voice.

“How on earth did you get in here?! This place is dangerous!”

Tie took a step back.

It was because she finally realized how deep she had come down.

The man’s calloused hands gripped the iron bars.

“Don’t tell me you came alone? Where are the adults? Ha, this is really…!”

While Tie was just moving her lips at the barrage of questions.

“Ma, Master!”

“Kyuut!”

Marbas and Ppupppu burst out from behind Tie.

Ppupppu, who had been red mist, flew to Tie and transformed into a baby elephant in her arms.

Marbas jumped up and down, then climbed onto Tie’s shoulder in one go.

“How can you suddenly run off like that! And why are your steps so fast? I thought I was going to die trying to catch up!”

Tie looked at Marbas with a flustered face.

“Don’t you know how dangerous it is to wander around alone in a place like this?! It’s only because Krazaru and I saw you, Master, but if that hadn’t been the case…!”

But before long, Marbas, who had been shaking his head while speaking, closed his mouth.

It was because he noticed the existence of the man inside the iron cage who was staring intently at Tie, himself, and Krazaru.

A moment of silence followed.

“Aaaaah!”

Marbas, who had jumped up from his spot, screamed in shock.

“Th, th, that kid from the inn! That kid became an old man!”

Knock- Knock-

Under the ceiling where cold water droplets were falling through the cracks between stones.

“So, you’re saying you met Tana and Roble?”

The man asked.

Tie nodded her head earnestly with the iron bars between them.

Then the man opened his mouth again as if he couldn’t believe it.

“You’re saying Marishan is looking for me? That she gave you the ID card I left behind and asked you to find me? Really?”

“Yes!”

The man’s lips parted in bewilderment.

His name was Hart.

He had come to the baron’s territory to help with disaster region reconstruction, but had been trapped here for several months already.

“Well, I suppose that makes sense. When I was locked up here, the weather was already getting chilly…”

The man’s eyes turned red.

Seeing him sigh and bury his face between his knees, Tie’s eyes drooped downward.

Tie spoke carefully.

“Don’t worry, Hammer! Since Tie is here, you can get out soon!”

Everything would end once she safely escaped this basement, met up with her companions, and told them that Hart was here.

Now that she knew Hart was here, the members would definitely try to take him back with them.

But before that, there was something strange about this.

“But why are you here, Hammer?”

Tie asked.

“Marishan said you would be working? Not that you’d be in prison.”

Hart hesitated and lifted his head.

He looked once at Marbas and Ppupppu hiding behind Tie, then gulped.

Soon he opened his mouth with a much lower voice.

“Little one. Don’t be shocked when you hear this.”

Then he continued speaking while looking around anxiously.

“I didn’t know either, but this is a very dangerous place. Baron Norbert is creating demons in this basement!”

Tie’s eyes widened at the mention of demons.

Hart continued rambling.

“Right, of course you wouldn’t know what demons are. That would be from before you were even born. But listen, demons are terrifying creatures!”

“…”

“I heard that demons that escaped from here are already turning the nearby lands into a wasteland. I came here to do reconstruction work, but when I arrived, they made me track down those creatures!”

Hart rubbed his rough face with one hand.

“At some point I couldn’t take it anymore and said I wanted to go home, but they locked me up like this!”
