A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 66

“Commander King! Are you safe?!”

Tie stared at Berukon with bewildered eyes.

As soon as Berukon regained consciousness, he was frantically trying to get up from his position.

Tie stepped back slightly while keeping her guard up against Berukon.

She was worried about what would happen if Berukon became strange again.

However, Berukon seemed to have regained some of his sanity.

“What about Krazaru? Did you eliminate the red mist? What on earth happened…!”

Though he staggered a bit, his eyes were clearly focused.

Soon he frowned as if his head hurt, then sat up by himself.

“Commander King, you’re the one who dealt with the red mist, right? You found and destroyed its core, didn’t you? Wait, but why are we still inside the subspace?”

Faced with the barrage of questions, Tie closed her mouth.

Then she rolled her eyes around.

“Well, you see.”

Where should she start explaining?

Tie turned around to ask Lucalion for help.

“Huh?”

But Lucalion had disappeared at some point.

Instead, he was in an unexpected place.

None other than inside Tie’s bag.

“Kamang, why are you there…?”

Lucalion was crouched inside the bag like an angry cat.

As if that wasn’t enough, he glared with axe-shaped eyes and turned his head away with a huff.

Tie’s mouth fell open.

‘…He’s sulking!’

It seemed Lucalion didn’t like that Tie had decided to raise Ppupppu.

What should she do?

Feeling dejected, Tie drooped her eyebrows and stared at Ppupppu in her hands.

‘But Ppupppu is really a good baby elephant.’

From the moment Ppupppu hatched from the core, Tie had been sharing Ppupppu’s senses completely.

Ppupppu’s anxiety, the guilt of having frightened Tie.

And even the bewilderment that all of this really wasn’t what Ppupppu had intended.

‘Of course…’

Tie, who had been looking down at Ppupppu’s head, glanced back at Berukon.

Since a while ago, Ppupppu had been watching Berukon and licking his lips.

‘He probably still wants to eat the Factory Manager.’

Berukon was prey that Ppupppu had been carefully preparing for a very long time.

So even if his stomach was full from Tie’s magic power, he would still want to eat Berukon.

Even Tie thought she would want to keep eating her favorite food even when full if it were right in front of her.

However, having decided to become Ppupppu’s mother, Tie needed to properly educate Ppupppu from now on.

The most important point among those would be making sure he didn’t think of people as food, right?

Tie first covered Ppupppu’s mouth that was making slurping sounds.

Then she answered calmly.

“Krazaru is gone.”

Berukon jumped up from his seat.

“Really?!”

Tie glanced back at Lucalion who was snorting behind her, then nodded slightly.

“Yes.”

Lucalion kept saying that Ppupppu was probably Krazaru.

He could sense Krazaru’s evil magic from Ppupppu?

But Tie didn’t agree.

‘Ppupppu is a baby who doesn’t even know what Krazaru is.’

Moreover, she had seen it just moments ago.

Ppupppu writhing his whole body in frustration.

Tie could feel it completely.

That Ppupppu’s actions and reactions were definitely not fabricated lies.

Not only that?

Tie had her own logic for interpreting this situation.

‘If Krazaru was mama bird, then Krazaru’s core would be mama bird’s egg.’

Ppupppu born from inside it would naturally be a baby.

‘You can’t say a baby and mama are the same!’

Especially in Korea, there was some law about… what was it?

Anyway, the scary law that sent the families of wrongdoers to prison together had disappeared long ago.

It was just as Tie was feeling proud of her own logic.

“To think you really defeated that monster.”

She could hear Berukon muttering. He continued speaking while wiping the blood flowing down his forehead.

“There was a good reason for your great reputation.”

Tie didn’t know what to answer, so she stayed quiet.

“Then was the reason Krazaru’s core cracked also because of the collision between two great magic powers?”

But at the following words, she rolled her eyes in confusion.

Collision of magic powers…?

Thinking back now, that feeling was closer to ‘transmission’ than collision.

The moment Tie picked up the core in the Armory.

Ppupppu said he felt an enormous amount of magic power pouring into him.

Since Ppupppu had been extremely hungry for a very long time, he absorbed Tie’s magic power completely.

‘Then he said he became full.’

Enough to attempt the hatching he had been preparing for so long.

Ppupppu who began hatching opened the subspace, and out of gratitude tried to offer Tie the prey he had been carefully tending.

However, the power regained after so long was unstable.

That was exactly why the created subspace ended up threatening even Tie.

Just as she was thinking that far, Berukon’s voice continued.

“Commander King. If my guess is correct, it seems you saved me.”

Tie’s eyes widened.

But Berukon had a serious expression.

“Because Krazaru’s core, that monster, seems to have been bewitching me all this time.”

Tie quietly covered Ppupppu with one hand.

Fortunately, Berukon sighed without looking in that direction.

“Yes… I’m certain. Thinking about it, it seems like it’s been several years.”

He couldn’t know exactly when it started.

But Berukon could be certain that something had changed from that point on.

He caught his breath and then looked at Tie.

“Actually, three years ago, I temporarily stored Krazaru’s armament in my quarters.”

Around that time, the Order was gradually pressuring them to hand over the armaments.

Berukon brought the armament to his quarters under the pretext of inspection.

And from that day, memories of the most terrible day in his life began replaying as nightmares.

“I don’t know your exact age. But if you’re over forty, you might have heard of it. About the Heodeodel disaster.”

Heodeodel disaster?

Forty?

Tie was counting on her fingers when she was startled.

‘Forty!’

Far from forty, Tie was four years old.

Moreover, the Heodeodel Sparrow was something she was hearing about for the very first time.

When she shook her head, an expression of interest spread across Berukon’s face.

It was as if he was trying to gauge Tie’s real age.

Only then did Tie hastily add.

“I think I might have heard of it…!”

Berukon nodded as if he had expected as much.

“Yes. You must have heard of it. It was quite a famous incident.”

For some reason, a shadow fell across Berukon’s face.

“The incident where the son of the Lord of Heodeodel killed as many as ninety innocent people, starting with an attack on a hospital.”

Attack on a hospital, ninety people?

Tie’s eyes showed a hint of fear.

If someone had entered a hospital and harmed sick people, that would be an incredibly evil act.

“I was the one who sold him the weapon.”

But at that moment, Berukon spoke.

Tie closed her mouth and then opened her eyes wide.

“Huh?”

“I’m saying I was the one who put the weapon in that bastard’s hands.”

Berukon was already hanging his head low.

“I generally didn’t accept personal requests. I usually declined requests to make special weapons for someone. Of course, I still have no choice but to accept Imperial Court requests even now.”

Berukon let out a sigh.

“But that guy… he was both the lord’s son and a Paladin suppressing the civil war in the Heodeodel region. I was fooled by his words.”

Though not from Heodeodel, Berukon was also from such a place.

Where Mastones erupted, and because of that, people began to fight.

A Battlefield native where that fighting eventually spread into a terrible civil war.

Berukon, who had lost his adoptive parents and seven siblings on the Battlefield, couldn’t bring himself to refuse the request of the Paladin—no, the Monster.

Until then, he had no idea what that man intended to do with the weapon he made.
