A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 49

Tie struggled as she packed jewels into her Hanbit Kindergarten bag.

“Two gold bars and….”

However, the gold was so heavy that she couldn’t lift it at all.

“I’ll carry that for you.”

Basto, who had been watching, put Tie’s two gold bars into the leather pouch hanging at his waist.

Tie only began packing the remaining jewels after confirming that Basto had securely tied the pouch opening.

“This one and this one and….”

She didn’t know how many poison darts she would end up buying, but either way, she couldn’t run short of money.

“Done!”

Finally finishing packing her bag, Tie let out a “whew” sound and wiped the cold sweat that had formed on her forehead.

‘I’m glad I grabbed the treasure chests from the mast ship.’

The shipwreck that Tie had summoned in Pearl City was full of treasure chests.

Tie had selected only the most valuable-looking items from among them, and she planned to use some of them at the armory today.

Tie looked at her now-bulging bag and spoke as if being generous.

“Tie was good. Today Tie’s treating everyone!”

At those words, the members who were preparing to leave turned to look at Tie.

Tie excitedly stuck out her chest.

“Tie will buy swords for Enzo oppa and Nordics Grandfather and Veil oppa! Tie is the leader after all!”

Veil burst into laughter.

Soon approaching, he picked up Tie and said playfully.

“That’s fine by me. Unlike those rich young masters over there, I’m quite poor.”

Enzo and Raul smiled awkwardly.

Nordics nearby also let out a hearty laugh.

“I won’t refuse either.”

Tie hugged Veil’s neck and shouted energetically.

“Veil oppa. When Tie buys poison darts, Tie will protect Veil oppa from now on!”

Veil made a lukewarm expression.

“You’re talking as if you haven’t been protecting me all along. How many times have I been saved from death thanks to you.”

“Still, as Commander King, I need to be a more reliable leader!”

Veil’s and the other members’ gazes met.

Everyone just shrugged their shoulders as if they didn’t understand what she meant.

Veil nonchalantly set Tie down on the ground.

“Child. But why did you think of that?”

Tie closed her mouth for a moment, then continued hesitantly.

“Um, well, just. I want everyone to not get hurt or injured….”

“Are you worried we might get hurt?”

“Yeah.”

Tie raised her head with a somewhat dejected expression.

“This place is nice, but there are lots of monsters too….”

There were also many people who had lost loved ones to such monsters.

‘And Tie knows.’

What it’s like to lose someone you love.

Because Tie had lost her father once before.

The child’s eyes sank strangely.

“Now everyone is Tie’s family… so I want nobody to get hurt anywhere.”

Everyone paused at the unexpected word.

Basto stopped putting on his coat and looked at Tie, while Veil closed his mouth.

Raul and Enzo were also staring at the child with surprised faces.

“Family?”

Tie nodded her head.

“Yes. There’s family connected by blood and also family connected by heart.”

These were words that 107 Grandmother had said to her every day when she lived at Gold Apartment.

Grandmother wasn’t Tie’s real grandmother, but she loved Tie like a real grandmother every moment.

Likewise, Tie loved 107 Grandmother like a real granddaughter.

“Tie loves everyone here so much.”

Basto’s expression became blank.

Veil, Raul, and Enzo were the same.

“So nobody can get hurt, okay? When people Tie loves get hurt, Tie becomes sad….”

“What are you talking about!”

At that moment, Veil shouted.

His face was somehow bright red.

“Child, you, are you stupid?! We’re mercenaries, how can we not get hurt?! You almost got hurt yourself last time!”

Tie’s cheeks puffed up instantly as if startled by the loud voice.

The child widened her eyes and shot back at Veil’s words.

“Tie doesn’t get hurt as much as Veil oppa!”

“Right! You don’t get hurt either! If you get hurt, huh?! You little thing! Huh?! I’d be a bit worried too, so don’t get hurt!”

“I won’t get hurt! The person who gets hurt first is stupid!”

“Oh~ Then obviously you’ll be the stupid one! Because even if I die and come back to life, I won’t get hurt!”

“Ugh….”

Tie, who had been fuming, made a “hmph!” sound and stormed out of the lodging.

“Where are you going alone! You’ll get hurt like that, won’t you?!”

When Veil hurriedly followed after her, only four people remained in the lodging.

“Strange.”

The first to mutter was Enzo.

Raul also continued.

“Right. Our leader… is much more affectionate than I thought.”

To think of them as family.

To say she loves them.

Because these words carried such weight, they were words none of them had easily heard in their lives.

“Let’s go.”

Then Basto, who had been silent, muttered.

Raul and Enzo nodded and followed Basto out of the lodging.

Left alone, Nordics’s gaze turned to the floor.

For some reason, he stood silently for a moment before opening the door and going out.

Tie was already far ahead.

Central Furnace Area of the Massive Blast Furnace.

Sparks flew in front of Berukon, the Factory Manager of Popurosa Weapon District.

“Elder. About what you mentioned… I looked into it.”

His hammer, which had been pounding the anvil, stopped abruptly at his disciple’s words.

“Basto Paerix did go to the armory with the Agavert Unit members.”

Berukon turned his head, his brow deeply furrowed.

Behind him, molten metal glowed bright red.

“I’m sure I told him, didn’t I? That he’d have to wait two months.”

The disciple nodded.

“Yes. But since it is two months, perhaps he’s trying to get new weapons to use in the meantime….”

“Damn, that bastard.”

Despite having a smaller than average build, when Berukon brought his hammer down on one side of the anvil, the ground shook.

“You’re going to abandon your original weapon and get a new one? Where do you get off doing such trashy behavior!”

The disciple approached Berukon to calm his excitement.

“Ah, s-surely he’s not trying to abandon the war hammer! He’s probably just looking for a weapon to use temporarily.”

However, Berukon’s expression didn’t easily settle down.

Grinding his teeth while looking at the rippling metal, he muttered.

“Go tell the armory blacksmiths. Those bastards, kick them out of my exhibition district immediately.”

Bewilderment crossed the disciple’s face.

“But Elder, again?! You’ve been doing this constantly since last time and we lost important customers…”

“Customer or whatever, I can’t forgive anyone who treats my weapons carelessly!”

The disciple shut his mouth.

He was about to respond but met Berukon’s fierce glare and had no choice but to turn around.

As he came out of the central furnace area, fellow blacksmiths who had been waiting rushed over in a crowd.

“What, what did he say?”

“Was he angry? Don’t tell me he wants us to kick them out again?!”

The disciple nodded with a troubled face.

Everyone who had staggered in shock soon drooped their eyebrows with solemn expressions.

“This is serious… That Basto fellow, with a build like a mountain, he clearly won’t be easy to kick out…”

Berukon Gregor.

Called the Iron Blood Smith, he was always considered a legend among blacksmiths.

He was the head of the Weapon District and the factory manager, and the weapons he made always symbolized not mere tools but power itself.

But as you can see, the problem was…

“Ha! Really, the more I think about it, the more troublesome this gets! Even if he is an elder, if he keeps doing this, what are we supposed to do? Huh?”

His personality had become strange at some point.

“Weapons are good and all, but he should also consider people and situations. Who would just twiddle their thumbs when told weapon forging takes two months!”

“Right. Even I would go looking for a weapon to use temporarily!”

Berukon was, in short, someone who valued weapons above anything else in the world.

In the blacksmiths’ eyes, it seemed like he had more conversations with weapons than with people.

“And lately he keeps telling us to banish any Tom, Dick, or Harry from the Weapon District… I wonder if he’s already forgotten about nearly being executed last time.”

Two months ago.

The fact was evident just from how he had raged at the Emperor who came with his broken sword, and as a result nearly faced execution.
