A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 43

“You’re certain that’s what he said? That he was a spirit, and called himself Seraldin?”

Tie nodded his head.

Veil and Basto continued their conversation with serious expressions.

“How strange that such a thing actually exists. I thought it was a fake god the Order made up to incite the villagers.”

“I thought the same thing. And a spirit at that… I’ve never heard of such a being before.”

Meanwhile, Nordics had been unusually quiet for a while now.

Then Veil, who had been pondering, turned to look at Tie.

“Are you sure? That Seraldin said he had become a mastone and you freed him?”

“Yeah!”

“And then he gave you that artifact, saying he’d give you a gift made from his essence?”

“Yeah! The Sacred Oblivion!”

Veil turned to look at Basto.

The two immediately spoke at the same time.

“…Wow, the kid can even see spirits.”

“It seems Tie can communicate with spirits too.”

Then after taking a breath, they opened their mouths simultaneously again.

“Seems like a pretty useful ability, doesn’t it?”

“It’s certainly a power that will be helpful someday.”

Tie stared at the two men speaking in perfect sync with his mouth agape.

Then Veil turned toward Nordics.

“So the problem is what to do with that artifact from now on…”

Then he continued.

“Old man. What should we do?”

According to Tie’s words, there seemed to be more than just one or two spirits.

Moreover, they appeared to be connected to mastones somehow.

The problem was that all of this was completely unknown information until now.

“Are there any mercenary groups currently in personal possession of artifacts?”

At Veil’s question, Nordics shook his head.

“…There wouldn’t be any. When mercenary groups get their hands on artifacts, doesn’t the Order usually step in to retrieve them?”

In history, there was only one mercenary group that had obtained an artifact while conquering a mastone.

The currently ranked number one ‘Trevaga’.

However, Trevaga soon voluntarily returned that artifact to the Order.

But everyone in the world knew that it wasn’t truly a voluntary return.

“Didn’t the Order always take artifacts even when the Paladins found them?”

Nordics nodded his head.

Veil seemed lost in thought for a moment before continuing.

“If they took the artifact away from Trevaga, it means the Order came down pretty hard.”

His gaze turned toward the Sacred Oblivion that Tie was wearing.

“Now there’s a strong possibility they’ll target the kid’s bracelet too.”

Tie unconsciously quickly hid his wrist behind his back.

Even though he didn’t know what kind of people the Order were, he didn’t want to give up the precious bracelet he received from Seraldin.

Also, Tie absolutely needed this bracelet.

“I need to use this to erase the inn sons’ memories…”

To erase the memories of Raul and Enzo, who had discovered his identity.

“Brother Veil, when are we going to the inn sons?”

Thinking about it made him anxious again.

He was starting to worry that Raul and Enzo might have left the first floor of Dominion Hall and gone somewhere else.

But then Veil approached.

“Kid. I’ve been thinking about something.”

He looked into Tie’s eyes and asked.

“How about we use that artifact to expand our mercenary group a bit?”

Tie tilted his head.

“Expand the mercenary group?”

“Yeah. Think about it? First, we accept those guys Raul and Enzo as our members. They came looking for us while you were sleeping. Saying they wanted to join Agabert.”

“Huh. Really?”

“Yeah. So first we accept those guys, and whether they know your identity or not, we just leave them be.”

“And then…?”

“If it looks like they’re going to leave, then we erase their memories of you.”

Tie’s mouth opened slightly.

“That way we can expand our mercenary group, and we don’t have to worry about your identity leaking out. Isn’t that good?”

Tie nodded his head.

However, he soon asked with a doubtful expression.

“But… what if the inn sons don’t say they’re leaving and secretly run away?”

They might secretly escape the mercenary group to spread word about Tie’s identity everywhere.

However, for some reason Veil burst into laughter.

“Kid. I’ll admit we haven’t done much so far because of your subordinates or bone friends or whatever.”

“…”

“But you don’t think we’d fail to notice the presence of guys trying to sneak away, do you?”

Tie’s mouth fell open.

“If there are any who try to run away, we can catch every single one without exception and bring them before you, so don’t worry about that.”

Tie nodded with a relieved expression.

And shouted energetically.

“Yeah!”

“So you’re saying…”

Raul and Enzo opened their eyes wide in disbelief.

“Sire Astie awakened his magical power at a young age and became a dark attribute mage.”

“But because of family circumstances, and since unwanted attention might create people who would harm the young leader.”

“He’s been disguising himself as a crazy person pretending to be four years old instead of actually being four years old?”

Veil nodded his head.

“That’s right. Exactly that.”

Raul and Enzo’s gazes naturally turned toward Tie.

Toward the child sitting across from them, hugging his bag tightly with a shy expression.

“Is that why you’re like this? Suddenly our kid seems so approachable and all?”

When Veil immediately growled, Raul and Enzo waved their hands in panic.

“N-no, sir.”

“How could that be.”

However, both couldn’t help but glance at Tie again.

In fact, the two men were thinking the same thing.

‘I can’t believe it. He really was four years old.’

A young child fidgeting restlessly with his chubby cheeks slightly flushed.

Now that they knew the truth, Astie before their eyes was truly…

‘He’s cute.’

‘Quite a lot, he’s cute.’

Fortunately, Raul was the first to come to his senses.

Raul barely managed to turn his gaze away and cleared his throat.

“I understand what you’re saying.”

Then he turned to look at Enzo and asked.

“You understand too, Enzo?”

Enzo quickly nodded his head.

“Of course. I’ll do my best to ensure Danzu’s identity doesn’t leak out.”

“I can’t trust just words.”

That’s when Veil stepped forward.

He stared at Tie while keeping the twins behind him.

“Child. Go ahead and try it.”

At those words, Tie hesitantly got up from his seat.

Then he hesitated as he got down from the sofa, and soon stood in front of Raul and Enzo with a pout while everyone watched.

“Um, please give me your hands.”

The twins stared at Astie with bewildered faces.

However, they soon hesitantly extended their hands.

Tie first reached out the hand wearing the Ring of Oblivion toward Raul.

[If you touch a target with the hand wearing the ring, you should be able to erase any desired memories that target possesses.]

Testing the artifact on the twins was Veil’s idea.

Tie was a little worried, but Veil remained consistent.

‘Child. Won’t you get your head straight? We’re the ones in power anyway. If they want to join Agabelt, they need to endure at least that much.’

‘…Big brother Veil, you seem like a really bad person right now.’

‘What’s so bad about it? Did I tell you to erase some important memory? No, I didn’t. Besides, it’s better if they don’t know what’s being done to them – less resistance that way.’

Tie agreed with those words.

The twins didn’t know about the artifact’s existence and effects.

So they probably couldn’t guess what Tie was trying to do right now.

You could tell just by looking at the two people’s hands obediently extended right in front of him.

Still, Tie took a deep breath before grabbing Raul’s hand.

It was to erase the guilt that kept pricking at his heart.

‘Prefect’s Sons, I’m really sorry!’

What Tie was trying to do was erase Raul’s memories about candy as a test.

Since he happened to have candy in his pocket, it would be easy to check if the memory was properly removed.

Of course, thinking that Raul would no longer be able to remember the sweet taste of candy made him feel like it was something he shouldn’t do, but…

‘To understand the artifact’s effects… there’s no choice!’

He squeezed his eyes shut and grabbed Raul’s hand.

And soon, he opened his mouth at what appeared before his eyes.

“Wh, whoa.”

Countless rings and threads made of light were floating around in the air.

Tie instinctively knew.

That all of it was Raul’s memories.

Soon one of them glowed right in front of him.

‘This is it.’

The memory related to candy in Raul’s mind was definitely this one.

The moment he was certain, that memory ring approached Tie’s eyes as if it had been waiting.
