A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 64

Not to brag, but Tie was quick to learn reading.

Perhaps because of that, she was also a beat faster than her peers at reading and understanding things.

‘When friends were learning consonants and vowels, Tie was reading storybooks.’

And by the time her friends were just getting into storybooks, she had already graduated from them.

So what did she read then?

Like a curious three or four-year-old, she went around finding and reading any text she could find within her living space.

Slightly more difficult, slightly cooler, slightly longer words.

For example, things like product manuals written under tissue boxes.

And that wasn’t all?

‘Tiny labels!’

When she read the 【Washing Instructions】 attached to one side of a blanket, or ‘Do Not Eat’ on preservatives, her heart would race with excitement.

Among those was also these six characters written largely on the back of the Faculty Office vacuum cleaner.

“Business Use! Eight Meters!”

When she read the letters out loud, Berukon furrowed his brow.

As expected, his expression showed he had no idea what it meant.

Tie broke out in cold sweat but gave Berukon a meaningful smile.

Then she began earnestly pulling out the vacuum cleaner’s cord.

When Tie first learned what “Business Use Eight Meters” meant, she was a little surprised too.

‘Business Use Eight Meters? Ah, that refers to the cord length. The cord here is that long.’

‘The cord is long?’

‘Yes. One meter is about this much, and it means there are eight of those.’

‘Wow…!’

‘Also, the term “business use” refers to electrical appliances used in wide spaces like our Preschool, not at home.’

‘Then there’s home use too?’

‘We don’t usually say “home use,” we normally say “household use,” right?’

Anyway, that day’s lesson could be summarized as that.

The Preschool’s vacuum cleaner was for business use, so the cord was as long as eight meters.

And expressing that differently at this very moment,

‘It means I can make the Factory Manager’s ankles even more immobilized with this cord!’

Tie’s heart pounded.

For the first time she was grateful for the Alley’s trash, Berukon’s feet were literally tangled with all sorts of things.

But what would happen if this incredible business-use eight-meter vacuum cord got wrapped around there too?

Just then, the long cord made a clicking sound as it caught on the Exit.

Tie thought this was the moment and shouted loudly.

“Lucalion! Over here!”

Lucalion, who had been dealing with the fog, turned his head.

His eyes took in Tie and the pile of black wires placed beneath her feet.

Lucalion seemed to understand Tie’s intention without further explanation.

He drove the red fog into a corner as if delivering a finishing blow, then quickly twisted his body.

Tie’s mouth fell open at his agile movement, but only briefly.

“Throw it!”

Lucalion shouted.

Tie aimed for the moment when Lucalion would be overhead, then threw the cord upward with all her strength.

Lucalion caught the end as if he’d been waiting for it and approached Berukon.

Then he began wrapping his ankles tightly with the cord.

“Wow!”

Tie jumped up and down in joy, then quickly looked around.

Since they’d wrapped Berukon’s ankles, now it was time to secure him somewhere so he couldn’t move.

Tie’s eyes fell on the table drawer and its handle.

The handle hole looked quite spacious, as if she could insert and secure the plug attached to the end of the wire.

“Lucalion! Over here!”

Tie waved her hand after crossing over the Barricade.

Lucalion immediately grasped the situation this time too and nodded.

Soon Lucalion flew over and dropped the plug cord onto Tie’s hand.

Tie quickly passed the plug through the drawer handle.

And she wrapped it once, twice, three times, then a fourth time.

“Commander King! You little!”

Berukon shouted and reached his hand toward Tie.

But Tie let go of the cord and quickly ran to the opposite side of the Dresser.

“You little! Once I catch you, you’ll-!”

Berukon also immediately lunged toward the opposite side to catch Tie.

However,

“Ugh-!”

The wire became taut and he soon crashed to the floor with a thud.

Tie blinked anxiously as she watched Berukon groaning in pain.

‘…He fell down, Factory Manager.’

Even though it was something she had to do, guilt pricked at her heart.

“What are you doing! There’s no time!”

But there was no time to feel personal guilt.

At Lucalion’s shout, Tie came to her senses again.

Then she hurriedly ran to one corner of the Faculty Office.

It was where the supply boxes she had knocked over earlier were piled up.

Among them, Tie’s target was just one thing.

“Found it!”

Tie’s green eyes sparkled as she looked at the object in her hands.

The object was none other than children’s police handcuffs.

It was a prop left over from when the older kids from the Flower Deer class used it in the Preschool talent show’s 【Tell Me Your Dream】 corner.

Among all the props, Teacher always kept only these handcuffs in the Faculty Office.

And Tie knew the reason why.

‘What an incredible toy this is.’

Toy handcuffs, toy swords, toy guns – such things always had an invisible demonic power dwelling in them.

A very seductive and deadly power that would captivate children’s minds.

This was evident from the bloodbath that swept through the Flower Deer class during the few days this was kept in the classroom.

‘And now Tie has those handcuffs.’

Leaving her fluttering heart behind, Tie shouted bravely.

“Don’t move!”

At this moment, a faint hope was blooming in her heart.

‘I can get out.’

She could get the core that Berukon had and escape from Subspace.

‘I can do it!’

Tie ran forward without hesitation.

And she cuffed one of Berukon’s wrists as he groaned.

“You little!”

Berukon struggled, but Tie quickly secured the other cuff to the Laundry Rack.

On top of the Laundry Rack was the Barricade that Tie had built.

“You can’t undo this!”

Berukon flailed his arms.

However, the sturdy handcuffs and drying rack didn’t budge at all.

Tie watched the struggling Berukon without letting her guard down.

Berukon, with both feet and one arm restrained, seemed quite flustered.

He glanced once at the red mist in the corner and gritted his teeth.

Then he stretched his one free arm toward his feet with all his might.

Since he couldn’t do anything about his restrained arm, it seemed he planned to somehow deal with the wires tangled around his legs.

But Tie wouldn’t miss that opportunity.

“Hiyaah!”

Tie ran to the window and hung onto the curtain with all her strength.

The curtain, unable to bear her weight, fell with a ripping sound, and Tie, who had tumbled down, sprang up like a roly-poly toy.

Then, grabbing one end of the curtain, she began running toward Berukon.

Berukon’s eyes widened, but Tie threw the curtain over him.

“What are you doing!”

Berukon struggled to get out from under the curtain.

But with only one arm free, he couldn’t easily shake off the curtain.

Tie quickly climbed on top before he could pull his hand out from under the curtain.

“You little brat!”

When Berukon’s face and one shoulder emerged from under the curtain, Tie took a short breath.

Seeing the bright red blood flowing from Berukon’s forehead made cold sweat break out on her back.

It was definitely a wound from when he tripped over the wires earlier.

“B-blood…”

After panicking for a moment, Tie squeezed her eyes shut and concentrated.

‘There’s only one thing Tie has to do.’

Take Krazaar’s core from Berukon.

And escape from the subspace.

‘Tie has to get out. I absolutely have to get out.’

It was partly because she had to survive and meet Father,

‘Tie will take good care of big brother Raul and big brother Enzo!’

‘When Tie buys poison bombs, I’ll protect big brother Veil from now on!’

‘As the Commander King, I should become a more reliable leader!’

But it was also because she had already made promises.

As a leader, to protect everyone.
