A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 47

“What could the Child’s father’s real identity be?”

Veil whispered after confirming that Tie was nodding off.

The child had been chattering for a while but was now fast asleep with her head on Basto’s thigh.

“I’m curious too. What on earth is the Daehanminguk…? What could that be?”

Raul and Enzo, who now roughly understood Tie’s situation, felt the same way.

Basto let out a sigh.

“For now, I’m assuming it’s some small principality or tribal nation we don’t know about.”

Tie had said that Daehanminguk was a country.

However, none of those present had ever heard of such a nation.

“Actually, about the bag that Danzu is carrying.”

At Enzo’s words, the members’ gazes turned to Tie’s pink bag.

“I’ve been curious about it since I first saw it. In the Empire, no, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a bag like that anywhere on the continent.”

“It’s not just the bag. You should have seen the clothes the Child was wearing at first.”

Veil gestured toward the large bundle loaded in the luggage compartment.

“If you look around in there, you’ll probably find it. It looked like a dress that nobles wear, but also not quite. Anyway, it was strange clothing.”

Raul nodded his head.

A brief silence followed inside the carriage.

“…Will we be able to find him?”

Basto muttered while looking at the sleeping Tie with troubled eyes.

“She wants to see her father so much, what if we can’t find him?”

“Actually, the fact that he lost his memory is a bit concerning.”

Veil interjected with a serious voice.

“Someone erased the Child’s memories from her father’s mind. Even if we meet him, if he can’t recognize the Child…”

The image of Tie being deeply hurt naturally came to mind.

Veil, who had been silent, added.

“Forget it. If he lost the Child, we’ll just make him remember her.”

“How?”

“If we hit his head hard once, won’t he remember? If he can’t remember his own daughter, that’s irresponsible. More than that, there’s something else we need to find.”

Veil looked around and spoke quickly.

“The bastards who erased the memories from the Child’s father’s mind. We need to find those guys.”

They were probably also the ones who abandoned Tie in Briowood Forest.

“Currently…”

“Right. The Luminen Family bastards are suspicious.”

Raul and Enzo gulped.

Since they had once served in the Imperial Paladin Corps, they had seen the Luminen Family paladins from a distance.

Valentis Luminen was a monster.

Achieving merit on every battlefield at a considerable age was never an easy task.

And what about his four sons?

While the youngest son’s whereabouts were somewhat mysterious, the eldest Edmund Luminen, second Leonardo Luminen, and third Alexander Luminen were all excellent soldiers.

All paladins had no choice but to look up to them.

“Did those guys really erase Danzu’s father’s memories?”

Enzo looked as if he couldn’t believe it no matter how much he thought about it.

Veil snorted dismissively.

“We’ll have to investigate to know for sure. But a few days ago, the Child said this. There’s a saying where she lived. Something about a thousand days, or a road. Anyway, you can know the depths of water but not the depths of a person’s heart.”

Everyone’s eyes widened.

Enzo muttered.

“It seems like words with considerable wisdom.”

“Exactly. It probably means you can predict deep waters but can’t know what’s in a person’s heart?”

“Right. Tie seems to know quite a lot of proverbs and maxims.”

The three soon became doting and gazed at Tie.

How much further had they traveled?

“Old man Nordics. Just a moment.”

Basto, who had laid Tie on the seat, stuck his head out the window.

Nordics, who had been driving while looking at the constellations, stopped the carriage.

“I believe there’s a lake to the right. We need to stop by for a moment.”

When Basto shook an empty water bottle, Nordics nodded.

When the carriage door opened, Raul, who had been sitting the whole time, carefully stood up following Basto.

Basto looked at Raul.

“I can fetch water by myself quickly.”

“That’s not it, actually…”

Raul coughed briefly.

He glanced at Veil and hesitantly said.

“I’ve been needing to relieve myself for a while…”

“Ah.”

Basto nodded as if he understood.

Then Enzo also stood up from his seat.

“I’ll come along too…”

At that moment, Veil, who had been sitting across from Tie, stood up.

“Then I’ll come along too.”

Raul’s eyes widened at the sight of her stretching and putting on her outer garment.

“Where are you going?”

Veil looked at Raul as if looking at an idiot.

“Where else? I’m going to relieve myself too.”

“What?!”

Raul’s face turned bright red.

‘Do mercenaries… relieve themselves together regardless of gender?’

The Paladin Corps was full of men, so he didn’t know.

Well, mercenaries move in groups of fifty at most, so they’d be less systematic than the Paladin Corps.

But even so…

“Wouldn’t it be a bit uncomfortable for you, Veil, to relieve ourselves together…?”

“What would I be uncomfortable about? Draining water is something everyone does.”

“Dr-draining water…”

“Shut up and get out. It’s cramped.”

Veil pushed Raul, who was blocking the entrance, outside.

Raul staggered outside and stared at Veil with his face still bright red.

Veil narrowed her eyes.

“What’s with you? Are you shy? Do you feel uncomfortable living with others?”

“N-no!”

Raul was an exemplary soldier perfectly adapted to group life.

He just had never gone to relieve himself with a woman.

“At the very least, if we do it in the forest where we can cover ourselves…”

“Why cover up? We’re going to see everything there is to see about each other anyway.”

“Wh-wh-what?”

Veil chuckled and gestured toward Basto.

“Basto and I have already seen everything. In this line of work, you end up jumping into stagnant water anywhere to wash up most of the time. You can’t think about Waverill Manor with its abundant warm water.”

“Y-y-you bathed together?”

“Is that not allowed? What, should we say ‘I’ll wash first,’ ‘You wash first,’ and wait for each other?”

Raul’s head spun.

No matter how much mercenaries wander from place to place and live camping out.

How could men and women relieve themselves together and wash together?

He could understand himself, but Veil was a woman.

Did this really mean she felt no discomfort whatsoever with such a lifestyle?

Raul, who had been flustered and stammering, finally came to his senses.

He practically slapped his own cheek to steady his breathing.

“I’m sorry. I showed you such an immature side of myself.”

Let’s not judge.

Who am I to dare criticize and judge the mercenary lifestyle like this?

In any case, he was now a member of Agabelt, and Veil was like his senior and mentor.

Even though they were different genders, there was so much Raul could learn from Veil’s swordsmanship.

“Whatever. You made us lose track of those guys because of this.”

Veil muttered as if it was no big deal and quickened his pace, passing by Raul.

He was already following Enzo and Basto who had gone far ahead.

Raul hurriedly followed behind Veil.

How long had he been walking at a certain distance from him when Veil stopped among the trees thick with grass.

“V-V-Veil, sir?”

The next moment, Raul was startled and took a step back.

Because Veil had placed his hand on the hem of his pants without any hesitation.

“V-Veil, sir. Wait a moment…!”

Raul tried to turn around hurriedly but froze mid-motion. And he stood frozen in place like a stone.

Soon Veil’s irritated voice could be heard.

“Ah… what are you doing? A guy who was in the Knight Order doesn’t know bathroom etiquette? Did you stare at your superior’s thing like that too?”

However, his mouth that had already fallen open in shock wouldn’t close easily.

Raul continued to stand rigidly frozen in place.

Until Veil muttered “Isn’t he crazy…” and returned to the carriage first.
