A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 44

Tie swallowed hard as she looked at the ring before her eyes.

‘If I break this, will Raul forget about candy?’

She had been curious about exactly how the artifact erased people’s memories.

Seeing it directly, she couldn’t hide her fascination.

Tie raised her hand and gently touched the memory ring.

Immediately, small bubbles formed around the ring and bounced softly like slime.

‘It looks like it would disappear if I blow on it.’

After swallowing hard, just as Tie was carefully trying to grasp the ring in her hand.

[…conditions…]

Hundreds of bubbles gathered before her eyes and displayed an incomprehensible notification.

[Child friend! Nice to meet you. Shall we set conditions?]

Conditions?

Tie’s eyes grew wide.

This is something, really…!

A moment later.

“V-Veil! Basto! Nordics Grandfather!”

The three men turned around and stared with surprised eyes at Tie waving her arms enthusiastically.

“The Relic of Oblivion is amazing! It’s totally awesome!”

At the mention of the Relic of Oblivion, Veil furrowed his brow.

“What, you already did it?”

“Uh-huh!!”

An “oh” sound flowed from Veil’s mouth.

“The operating method is quieter than I thought? It might be more useful than expected?”

“I could set conditions too!”

“Conditions?”

“Yeah! Making it disappear when someone does certain actions or thinks certain thoughts!”

Veil’s mouth fell open.

“Really?”

“Yeah! So I played with it a little, then set the ring like this so the innkeeper’s son would only forget Tie’s identity when he hates Tie or leaves Agabert!”

To think such detailed memory removal was possible.

Veil swallowed hard and muttered while looking at Nordics and Basto.

“Wh-what. This is quite the artifact, isn’t it? I can understand why the Order went crazy trying to retrieve it…”

“Wait a moment.”

Just then, Raul interrupted the two men’s conversation.

He was looking at Tie, Veil, and Basto with a confused face.

“Did you do something to me?”

Immediately, guilt appeared on Tie’s expression.

“S-sorry…”

Veil stood up from his seat.

He put his hand into Tie’s pocket and pulled out a candy wrapped in paper.

“What does this look like to you?”

Raul’s brow furrowed.

“…It looks like paper.”

“Not the paper. What do you think is inside this?”

“Well. Is it medicine?”

“No? You know, something sweet that melts in your mouth. Don’t you know what it is?”

“Excuse me? I have no idea what you’re talking about…”

Enzo, who had been watching, stepped forward as if dumbfounded.

“Are you stupid, brother? Anyone can see it’s candy.”

Raul frowned and stared at Enzo.

“What’s that?”

“Huh?”

“What is that?”

Enzo’s gaze slowly turned toward Tie.

Tie was fidgeting with her hands as if she felt terribly sorry.

“Tie really really didn’t want to do it… but Veil kept…”

Behind her, Veil laughed with satisfaction.

“Wow, the effect is definite.”

Tie used the Relic of Oblivion to cast the same magic on Enzo.

So that Tie’s identity would be deleted from both men’s minds when they left Agabert or held hostility toward her.

When the work was finished, Veil unexpectedly approached.

“Child. Will you cast it on me too?”

Tie looked up at Veil with surprised eyes.

“Huh?”

“I mean you can cast it on me too if you’re anxious. I don’t have any reason to leave Agabert anyway.”

Veil had a truly nonchalant expression.

As she looked at him in bewilderment, Basto also approached.

“You can cast it on me too, Tie. That magic probably won’t activate anyway.”

Tie felt something stirring somewhere in her heart.

“Basto and Veil…”

They really think of Tie as a lifelong companion!

Tie was moved and nodded her head vigorously.

“Yeah! We’re making a pact of unity!”

Tie took each of their outstretched hands and activated the Relic of Oblivion.

Honestly, operating the Relic of Oblivion was quite fun.

It felt like playing with a toy?

“I don’t feel anything at all.”

Veil tilted his head.

Basto silently patted Tie’s head and said.

“Good work, Tie.”

Tie took the opportunity to give the relic to Basto and asked him to try operating it.

She wanted to show this amazing artifact to Basto too.

But for some reason, the artifact seemed to respond only to Tie.

Feeling somewhat proud, Tie was laughing to herself when she suddenly stopped.

‘But where is Nordics Grandfather?’

He was definitely here just a moment ago.

As she tilted her head in confusion, Veil soon called to Tie.

“Child. Raul and Enzo are curious about something?”

“About what?”

“They want to know how you came up with the name Commander King. Listening to it, I’m suddenly curious too. Where did you pick up a name like that?”

“That’s…”

Tie quickly forgot about Nordics.

And she began earnestly explaining how she had come up with the alias Commander King.

Smiles gradually spread across the faces of the members listening to Tie’s explanation.

A warm and friendly atmosphere lingered in the Dominion Hall’s reception room for quite some time.

Until the sun disappeared beyond the horizon.

A few days later.

“Wh, whoa…”

Tie’s jaw dropped at the sight of two splendid carriages parked in front of the Dominion Hall.

Then she looked back at Councilor Marianne restlessly.

“Councilor, can Tie really keep these?”

Marianne answered with a gentle smile.

“Of course. We still have a long way to go to repay everything Danzu has done for Pearl City.”

“…You don’t have to call me Danzu, just Tie is fine.”

“What are you saying? Astie is undoubtedly Agavert’s Danzu, regardless of age.”

Hearing those words, she suddenly remembered something from a few days ago.

The day after Raul and Enzo joined the mercenary group, an unexpected person visited Tie’s room.

It was Nordics.

‘Astie. I think it might be good to tell Marianne Wavril about your true identity.’

Nordics seriously proposed one thing to Tie.

It was to honestly reveal Tie’s situation to Marianne Wavril.

As it turned out, Nordics had visited Marianne the day before as well.

Seeing Tie’s artifact working normally had suddenly made him worry about various things.

‘If it’s revealed that you possess an artifact, the Order will definitely be curious about your identity. Furthermore, they’ll try to take your artifact. Just like they always have.’

Tie was already a celebrity.

Perhaps she might become even more famous in the future.

‘But I think your ability is too sharp and massive to keep hidden forever. In this world, those with strong power are always kept in check accordingly.’

‘Really…?’

‘Yes. If the Order and the Imperial Court’s attention becomes focused on you, then you might find it difficult to protect yourself with just the power you have.’

At first, she didn’t understand what Nordics meant.

Noticing this, Nordics explained it in a way Tie could understand.

‘You talked about Puppetmon before, right?’

‘Yes!’

‘You said getting a strong Puppetmon makes you that much stronger.’

‘That’s right! If you get a legendary Puppetmon, you become super super strong!’

‘Then try thinking about it this way. You could become a Puppetmon.’

Hearing those words made her head feel blank.

‘Ti, Tie becomes a Puppetmon?’

‘Yes. You being strong also means that whoever gets you becomes strong.’

‘…Bu, but how can people just get other people?’

Nordics smiled and said quietly.

‘Tie, there are actually many ways to use people like puppets. They could take hostages and threaten you, hypnotize you, manipulate and control your mind, or use drugs.’

‘…’

‘If someone did such things to you, could you really stop them all by yourself?’

No.

Tie had no choice but to answer that way.

But Nordics, as if he had expected that answer, offered a solution.

‘That’s why we need the help of the Wavril Marquis family.’
