A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 65

Taking a deep breath, Tie quickly thrust her hand into Berukon’s inner pocket.

Finding the core inside wasn’t particularly difficult.

Finally grasping the core and stepping away from Berukon, he immediately began screaming.

“No! That’s-!”

Tie watched the shrieking Berukon while catching her held breath.

Meanwhile, after shouting several more times, Berukon slowly closed his eyes.

Only after he collapsed limply did Tie lower her gaze.

In her palm, she could see Krazaru’s core glowing red and glossy.

The slightly cracked stone in her hand only glowed faintly as if asking what had happened.

“You took it?!”

Then Lucalion approached Tie.

When she turned her head, the red mist had already disappeared.

Tie nodded with frightened eyes.

“Mm-hmm. This is…”

“Let me see.”

Lucalion narrowed his brow as he looked at the core in Tie’s palm.

He rolled the core around with his front paw while muttering.

“I can feel condensed magical power. It seems stronger than before.”

“Condensed…?”

The moment she tilted her head.

Crack-

The core in Tie’s hand began cracking again.

Tie froze stiff at the sight of dozens of fissures forming around the existing crack.

Lucalion also held his breath.

But how many seconds had passed like that?

“Woo-“

The vibrating core made a strange sound and then split cleanly in half.

Tie slightly parted her lips at what emerged from inside.

“Kyuut! Kyu!”

Two round, black eyes.

A long trunk positioned below them.

Even ears flapping insignificantly on both sides.

“An egg…?”

At Tie’s words, Lucalion frowned.

“What egg?”

Tie looked at Lucalion with creaking movements.

“Lu, Lucalion. From the egg. From the egg…”

The child’s pupils shook restlessly.

“A baby elephant was born!”

The king of herbivores she had watched over and over in savanna documentaries.

More than wolves, more than giraffes, more than pandas, her favorite animal of all.

An elephant had been born from none other than Krazaru’s core.

But what was even more unbelievable than that was,

“Kyu!”

“…It’s calling Tie mother!”

Not mom, but mother.

The fact that Tie could understand everything the baby elephant was chirping.

“Kyu, kyurung, kyubit!”

“Ppupppu says it’s a filial child. So it was trying to give Tie the food it had been saving for a long time.”

“Kyuuung… kyuu.”

“It saved it for several years, that’s how much it treasured it.”

“Kuuuu…”

“The reason it was saving the food was because it wanted to eat it and hatch all at once.”

A sigh burst from Lucalion’s mouth.

He could see Tie sitting side by side with a fist-sized monster before his eyes.

For some reason, the monster was kneeling demurely toward Tie.

“Kyurung! Kyuung! Kyukyurit.”

“But after meeting Tie, it gained enough strength to hatch without eating the food! So instead of eating the food itself, it kept chasing to give it to me, is what it’s saying?”

Lucalion narrowed his eyes.

“Don’t tell me that food is that thing?”

Following Lucalion’s gaze, Tie hesitantly nodded.

Where Lucalion had gestured, Berukon lay sprawled unconscious in a spread-eagle position.

“Ha.”

Lucalion, who had swallowed a groan, slowly closed and opened his eyes.

Then with a serious expression, he stared at Astie and pointed at the strangely-shaped monster with his front paw.

“Do you at least know what that thing is?”

“…Kyupiit!”

The kneeling monster suddenly stood up.

Then it rose on two feet and began scolding Lucalion as if asking where he got off pointing.

However, Lucalion lightly ignored the monster (which Astie had already named ‘Ppupppu’) and continued speaking.

“That’s a monster.”

Tie’s shoulders flinched.

“The hatching or whatever happened because it absorbed your magical power.”

“Kyukyukyurit-! Kyu-!”

The monster came running with a patter and hit Lucalion’s paw with its trunk, thunk, thunk.

However, Lucalion continued speaking without even glancing in that direction.

“The magical power remaining in Krazaru’s core absorbed your magical power and gained substance as a monster, get it? Don’t you understand?”

Tie gulped and avoided Lucalion’s gaze.

But Lucalion continued speaking in a serious voice.

“In other words, it was that monster that trapped us here, and that scared you with confusion just a while ago. Are you letting your guard down just because its appearance changed a bit? That monster, from what I can sense, has killed at least 200 people.”

“No!”

“Kyurik!”

The monster and Tie answered simultaneously.

The staggering monster grabbed the back of its neck with one foot and even collapsed with a thud.

Tie hurriedly ran over and held the monster in her arms, then said.

“Its name isn’t that, it’s Ppupppu!”

Then she made an extremely profound expression.

“And Ppupppu says it doesn’t remember well.”

“What?”

“It doesn’t remember what it was doing before being trapped in the egg.”

Lucalion blinked in bewilderment.

“Also, it says it’s never hurt anyone. Ppupppu says it’s not that kind of bad baby elephant!”

Lucalion swallowed a groan.

‘Never hurt anyone?’

Then how would it explain the smell of blood emanating from that monster’s magical power?

Killing intent, or bloodlust.

That was a distinctive smell that only came from those who had committed merciless slaughter.

“That’s ridiculous.”

As he muttered, Astie restlessly stared at the monster.

The insolent monster was standing with its hands on Tie’s palm, glaring at Lucalion.

Tie hesitated and spoke again.

“Locking Tie in subspace… well, it wasn’t done with bad intentions.”

“Then?”

“It was so Tie could comfortably eat the Factory Manager…”

Tie, who had closed her mouth, awkwardly continued speaking.

“Since it’s still a baby, it can’t control itself properly, so it accidentally created something that scared Tie. At first, it tried to free Tie, but since it wasn’t fully hatched yet, it tried to help with fog. But Tie kept running away, so it couldn’t catch her.”

Lucalion let out a hollow laugh.

Then immediately glared at the monster with fierce eyes.

“Does it make sense that it says it won’t harm anyone but was trying to eat that human? Isn’t that contradictory?”

“Kyu! Kyukyurut! Kyu! Kyurung-! Kyukyu!”

“Ppupppu says it doesn’t eat people, but hearts! Scared hearts!”

Tie hurriedly stepped forward to defend the monster.

“It’s a baby elephant that lives by eating scared hearts! So at first, it thought Tie ate that too and tried to give it to her! But Tie told it properly!”

“…”

“Tie only eats rice and snacks and bread, so it doesn’t need to give her scared hearts.”

Lucalion closed his mouth in bewilderment.

Astie was somehow proudly showing off the monster to him.

“So Kamang. Isn’t there some misunderstanding? Look, Ppupppu is really, really small.”

“…Kyurung.”

“Really cute and keeps calling me mother.”

“Kyukyurung!”

“Ppupppu says it wants to stay with Tie forever and ever. If Tie says no, it won’t even do feeding activities!”

Lucalion unconsciously pressed his forehead.

“…That’s because right now, at this very moment, that thing is continuously absorbing your magic power to fill its belly! There’s no need for it to do feeding activities at all!”

Tie’s eyes instantly became teary.

“But Tie wants to raise Ppupppu…”

It was when Lucalion held his breath at the absurd words.

“Sorcerer King?”

A hoarse voice came from behind.

Berukon, who had awakened at some point, was staring at Tie and Lucalion in disbelief.
