A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 39

Pearl City Pier.

Behind the large passenger ship that Death Hound had purchased, Tie’s even larger mast ship came cutting through the waves.

They were on their way back from completely conquering a medium-sized Mastone that had risen from the sea.

The monster cores loaded on the deck alone exceeded a full sack.

“It’s Agavert! Agavert has returned!”

The pier was packed with people who had returned to the village.

“Thank you, truly thank you…!”

People burst into tears and rushed toward Tie’s group as they disembarked.

The sailors who had nearly drowned or been killed by Death Hound were the same.

As Tie blinked with a bewildered expression, Nordics, who had come out to greet them, stepped forward.

“Everyone please calm down. The Commander King needs to rest after using so much power.”

The people reluctantly stepped back with disappointed looks.

Tie felt strangely moved and scratched the back of her head.

‘…Tie is fine though.’

This was the first time anyone had thanked her like this.

She wanted to tell each and every person ‘Tie is okay!’ but Basto approached.

“Commander. You should go in and rest now.”

Tie pondered for a moment, then nodded.

“Yeah. Tie feels a little sleepy too.”

Was this what mana depletion felt like?

After becoming a mercenary, there was something the members had told her repeatedly.

Mages like Tie should always be wary of mana exhaustion.

But Tie still didn’t know how much mana she had.

So she couldn’t tell how many super strong techniques she’d have to use before running out of mana.

Even today hadn’t been that difficult, so it was natural she couldn’t guess.

‘My arms and legs do feel kind of wobbly though…’

It was unclear whether this was simply from not sleeping, or from really using too many techniques.

Just as she was seriously pondering this, she heard splashing sounds from behind.

When she turned around, Tie’s mast ship was returning to the sea.

The sight of the massive shipwreck quickly disappearing underwater was enough to overwhelm the gathered crowd.

But while everyone was staring blankly at that scene,

something burst out from the foam and quickly darted between the people.

It burrowed into Tie’s cloak at a speed too fast for anyone to notice.

No one, including Tie herself, was aware of this fact.

Agavert headed to the Dominion Hall rather than an inn.

This was because Magistrate Marianne had invited them to the finest guest room in the Dominion Hall.

Tie fell into a deep sleep as soon as she lay down on the guest room bed, while Basto, Veil, and Nordics gathered in the reception room.

It was to organize the cores they’d collected and maintain their weapons.

Raul and Enzo came looking for them around lunchtime the next day.

“You want to join Agavert?”

Veil sat leisurely in the head seat of the reception room with her legs crossed.

Her stern appearance made Raul and Enzo gulp nervously.

Enzo spoke first.

“Yes! Please let us meet the Commander! You may not think much of us, but we can handle swords reasonably well.”

“Same here.”

Veil tilted her head with an interested look.

“For all that talk, you were completely helpless at sea earlier. You know you’re alive thanks to me, right?”

“We know.”

Raul’s expression became serious.

He hadn’t been able to take his eyes off Veil for a while now.

This was because he had watched Veil fight monsters on the ship.

‘No matter how I look at it, she’s admirable.’

Veil used two swords, and her movements were definitely far from orthodox.

But that didn’t mean there were gaps or that it was sloppy.

‘Her movements are efficient and fast.’

It meant her swordsmanship had no unnecessary flourishes whatsoever.

To reach such a level with a woman’s body – it was almost unbelievable.

Honestly, Raul wanted to take Veil as his master to train his swordsmanship.

Enzo seemed to admire Basto more than Veil though.

“Perhaps the Commander doesn’t like us?”

Enzo asked while recalling the image of Commander ‘Commander King’.

The Commander King was a terrifyingly powerful mage.

He had been off guard because of that cheerful smiling face, but suddenly changed and unleashed waves of death…

Enzo spoke with a slightly less confident tone.

“Of course we know we don’t measure up in his eyes, but…”

“The Commander King will listen to whatever I say anyway.”

Then Veil interrupted Enzo’s words.

Veil looked somewhat excited.

“I’m the member who receives the most favor from the Commander in the mercenary group.”

Raul and Enzo’s eyes widened.

But at that moment,

“Speak properly, Veil.”

Basto interjected with a grumpy voice from a short distance away.

He frowned, stopping his weapon inspection.

“The one the Commander relies on and likes most is me. When things get urgent, he always looks for me.”

“What are you saying, you muscle pig.”

Veil continued as if dumbfounded.

“What would the kid, I mean, the Commander rely on you for? If anything, you’ve only caused him endless trouble. Practically speaking, the Commander was the one who took down Cal Worven too.”

Basto pressed his lips together.

“That was…”

“Both of you stop.”

Then Nordics, who had been sitting at one end of the table looking at a thick book, spoke.

He looked at Basto and Veil with a kind smile on his lips.

“I would think the most reliable person would be me, wouldn’t it? Whatever else, experience cannot be ignored.”

Veil’s mouth fell slightly open.

“Why are you butting in, old man?”

“I’m not butting in. I’m simply stating facts. Even when we conquered the Mastone in Tenebrium Dungeon before, the Commander would have been seriously injured if not for me.”

“That’s cheating if you put it that way! That was even before the mercenary group was formed!”

“Regardless, it remains unchanged that the Commander owes me his life. In other words, I’m in the complete opposite position from you all.”

“Master Nordics, I don’t think that’s right. The actual combatants are Veil and I, aren’t we? You stayed on land again today…”

Raul and Enzo stared dumbfounded at the three people engaged in argument.

If nothing else, one thing was certain.

‘These guys… really love the Commander King.’

So they were fighting like concubines trying to monopolize their lord’s favor.

Raul gulped.

‘Not only is he strong in skill, but he has excellent leadership and command ability too.’

The Commander King was truly an amazing mercenary.

Remembering how he had commanded the sea with dark magic made Raul want to pledge his loyalty as well.

Meanwhile, Enzo was having similar thoughts.

‘I guess I’ll have to step up then.’

As the member who receives Danzu’s greatest favor.

While Raul was a bit stiff and awkward, Enzo was confident in his social skills.

Even when he was in the Knight Order, it was always Enzo who monopolized the superiors’ affection.

‘I wonder what kind of talent he’s looking for.’

He suddenly became curious about what type of subordinate the Sorcerer King would prefer.

The type who silently does their job well without a word?

Or the type who’s flexible and quick to move on their own?

Since strong people are usually lonely, he might prefer a strategist type who can engage in serious conversations.

‘What should I do? I can handle all three.’

A strange current spread among the five people sitting in the reception room.

None of them knew what dreams Tie was having as he lay sprawled on the bed.

‘Tie. Who do you like best?’

‘Answer me, Child! Who do you like best?’

‘Astie. You got cookie crumbs around your mouth again while eating.’

The brow of the dreaming Tie furrowed.

Tie made mumbling sounds as he agonized.

That was understandable since Basto was holding pizza, Veil was holding seasoned chicken, and Nordics was holding a hamburger.

‘T-Tie is…’

Just when he couldn’t make a decision and was fidgeting restlessly.

[My benefactor.]

Someone called Tie with a gentle voice.

When he opened his eyes to the hand stroking his shoulder, what he saw were rainbow-colored eyes.

The eyes that had been staring intently at Tie soon curved beautifully.

[Sea God Seraldin greets my life’s benefactor. You freed me from my shackles.]
