A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 405

“So don’t go.”

Aleric stared blankly at Livia in front of him.

Sorrowful tears were dripping down from Livia’s eyes.

“Rather than going far away where I can’t see you at all…”

She grabbed Aleric’s hand tightly.

“I don’t care if it becomes uncomfortable, so just stay here!”

Aleric pressed his lips tightly together.

The barrier became blurry and the surrounding noise gradually began to be heard.

Finally sighing, he looked down at his hand that was firmly grasped.

“You better not say something different later.”

He looked straight at the hesitating Livia.

“And I have a condition too. Don’t go to that tavern you’ve been frequenting lately anymore.”

“What?!”

Livia jumped up from her spot.

She frowned and roughly wiped her reddened eyes with her sleeve.

“Wh-what does that have to do with this? Who are you to tell me not to go to the tavern! That place has the best beer in this nearby area! I’m already a regular there…”

“How ridiculous. A negotiation is about giving and taking one thing each. You just told me not to go to the Magic Tower, didn’t you?”

“No, that’s…!”

“You said it in the North. You asked me to help you give up. But instead of giving up, you just grabbed onto someone who was about to leave while crying.”

Livia’s face turned bright red.

“Hey! I…!”

Aleric crossed his arms with his now free hand.

Then he looked down at Livia intently.

“I’m going to interpret everything you said and did to me today as an implicit agreement between us.”

“No, what kind of nonsense is that?!”

“I clearly told you my feelings, and you grabbed me knowing that. So now I think I should say what I need to say too.”

Livia’s mouth gaped open.

Aleric turned around.

“I never liked that tavern from the beginning. I especially don’t like that there’s some kid who follows you around saying he likes you.”

“Hey! Where are you going!”

“What? First time seeing a woman who’s both easygoing like an older sister and attractive? His lines were all terrible too, so why do you even bother responding to him?”

“Why are you going alone! And how do you know that? Did you come there before too? But I didn’t see you?!”

“You even smiled at that bastard’s face when he said he liked you…”

Aleric’s cloak fluttered in the wind as he walked quickly.

Livia hurriedly chased after him while running her hand through her hair.

‘What the hell happened? He never followed me even when I asked him to come with me every time.’

At that moment.

She remembered a customer who often sat quietly in the corner of the tavern.

A man who wore a robe pulled over his head and never answered even when others tried to talk to him.

He always sat alone looking pitiful and just drank beverages all day and night.

Seeing someone who couldn’t even drink alcohol come to a tavern and act like that, she just thought he must have some unfortunate circumstances.

“Always liking alcohol. I’ve been telling her for years but she won’t fix it. Sigh, how did I end up…”

Livia stopped in place while watching Aleric stride away.

As she fidgeted with the tip of her ear, a weak laugh escaped without her knowing.

“…What.”

It’s not really that different from usual.

She kept her gaze fixed on Aleric’s back and then took a step.

Then she shouted at him.

“Ah, let’s go together!”

A few days later, one afternoon.

“Really? You’re really going to place it there?”

At Tesetan’s words, Tie looked up with a start.

In her small hand was a shiny black stone.

“Ah, no? No! Tie won’t place it here?!”

Tie’s eyes busily scanned the wooden board as she hurriedly pulled back her hand.

This wooden board was something Tesetan had made by hiring the best carpenter in Jedo a few days ago.

“Sh-should I place it here…?”

As she muttered and looked up, she saw Father’s face fixed on the board.

“Oho, there?”

“Huk, no?! Time!”

Tie hesitated again and grabbed her cheeks with both hands.

‘This is bad!’

If she couldn’t block well, Tesetan would definitely win this round.

Tie groaned.

‘Why is Father so good at omok…?’

Tie was the one who learned the winning secrets from the grandfathers in Jongno-gu.

But she could hardly ever beat Tesetan.

“Then Tie will place it here…”

Having no choice but to place the stone down, Tie watched Tesetan’s reaction.

Tesetan nodded silently.

‘Please, please don’t see it…’

Tie shouted inwardly.

Actually there were two places she needed to block, but Tie could only block one place with this move.

If Tesetan attacked that spot, this game would inevitably be Tie’s defeat.

“Hmm, there’s no particular place worth attacking.”

Right then Tesetan spoke.

Tie tried to manage her expression to not show her agitation.

“I guess Father should just place it here.”

Tesetan made his move.

Tie swallowed her saliva.

‘Father didn’t see it. This is my chance…!’

Thanks to Tesetan placing his stone in a strange spot, Tie could see plenty of places to attack.

As she silently placed her stone down, she felt Tesetan glance at her.

Clack.

Clack.

Another clack.

Several stones were exchanged.

Tesetan’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Tie widened her eyes to manage her expression.

“Ah…”

Finally Tesetan let out a sigh.

“Father really lost by such a close margin.”

“Aaah! I wooooon!!!”

At the same time, Veil who was standing behind screamed.

Tie jumped up from her seat, not even noticing her ears were ringing.

“I, I won! Tie won!”

Watching Tie and Veil hug each other and jump up and down, Raul and Enzo scratched their heads.

They looked at Tesetan and smiled.

“You lost by a close margin, Your Majesty.”

“That’s right. We could have won….”

Tesetan nodded with an amused expression.

However, when he noticed Tie looking at him, he deliberately put on a stern face.

“That’s why you should have beaten Veil, Raul. Enzo won against Basto.”

Raul scratched his head.

Enzo also glanced at Tie and made exaggerated gestures as if disappointed.

“Can’t help it. Now we have no choice but to go all the way to the outskirts of Jedo.”

“Tie’s going to have whipped cream on top too! Two of them!”

Tie, who had been savoring the joy of victory, came running over excitedly.

“So we need to buy two for Tie, one for Uncle Basto, and one for Brother Veil?”

Enzo nodded with a smile.

“Understood. This is quite troubling. I’ve never lost a dessert bet before.”

“Hehehe! Well, that’s because Tie beat Father, so it can’t be helped!”

The excited child spun around and hugged Veil again.

“Child! You’re really a genius! A genius, I tell you?!”

“Hehe, Brother Veil is more of a genius~ Tie has a little experience, but Brother Veil only learned omok a few days ago.”

“That’s what I should be able to do. I have some talent when it comes to using my brain too.”

Basto smiled warmly watching the two giggling.

“Thanks to you, I got to ride along too. Thank you, Veil. And Tie.”

Raul and Enzo looked at the three people who had somehow ended up with their arms around each other’s shoulders.

Tie was hanging between Basto and Veil, spinning around the table.

“By the way, haven’t the others arrived yet?”

Enzo asked.

Tesetan shrugged.

“Well, they said they’d arrive today, so it should be about time.”

“It feels like it’s been a really long time since we’ve seen Old Man Nordics.”

“Same with Victor. Marshal said she saw him at the grocery store a few days ago, and his face had become half its size….”

“Sire. Is raising children really that difficult?”

Enzo, who had been thinking after hearing Raul’s words, asked.

Tesetan paused and looked up.

“You would know, Sire. You raised Princess alone until you came back here….”

Tesetan’s eyes quietly turned toward Tie.

Cheeks flushed red with excitement.

Bangs that had become crooked from cutting them herself a few days ago.

And arms and legs that had somehow grown longer than before.

“…Well. Was it difficult for me.”

As he muttered, he felt the twins’ gazes turn toward him.

He smiled as he met Tie’s eyes.

“I don’t remember well.”

“Father!”

Just then, Tie came running over.

Tesetan spread his arms and caught the child.

Then, holding the child in his arms, he answered with a slightly choked voice.

“Even so, if I went back, I’d do the same thing.”

It wouldn’t matter how many times.

“Father, you know what? Tie loves Father the most, most in the whole world!”

Something that could replace Tie’s smiling face.

Something that could replace this enormous affection that had always been too much for him.

“…Father too.”

Tesetan smiled happily.

“Father loves you too. Our daughter, the most, most in the universe!”

He was certain that no other world would have anything like it.
