A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 69

The elephant snorted with disdain.

“Kyuryong (I don’t trust a mere lizard like you either)!”

Lucalion’s eyes narrowed.

Just moments ago, he couldn’t understand what the creature was saying, but now for some reason he could understand it.

Reading his expression, the elephant grinned wickedly and added.

“Kyurung, kyururung (This is an arrangement I made to convey my intentions to your primitive mind).”

Lucalion frowned and then sneered.

[How amusing. I could always read the thoughts of a bug-like creature like you if I put my mind to it.]

The elephant grabbed the back of its neck and staggered.

Soon, a crack appeared between its two bean-like eyes with a snap.

“Kyu! Kyukyuut (How insolent! Are you not afraid of the pain of torn flesh and scraped bones)!”

“Both of you, stop!”

That’s when Tie stepped in.

The huffing elephant closed its mouth, and Lucalion snorted and turned his head away with a huff.

Tie sighed as she looked at her two family members who were already on bad terms.

‘This is trouble…’

There was a reason why Ppupppu and Lucalion shouldn’t fight from the start.

“If you guys keep doing that, people will speak ill of Tie!”

Lucalion and Ppupppu stared at Tie.

Tie added as if announcing something important.

“Don’t you know that when a baby doesn’t listen, the mother gets scolded? They say the home education wasn’t done properly.”

Lucalion’s eyes widened.

[Are you crazy? Why would I be your baby?!]

On the other hand, Ppupppu plopped down on the spot. Then he lay flat on the ground and apologized with tears in his eyes.

“Kyurutt, kyu!”

Tie shook her head from side to side.

Then she first picked up the dazed Lucalion.

[What are you doing? Let go of me!]

Lucalion immediately struggled, but Tie grunted and stuffed Lucalion into her bag.

Then she zipped it all the way up so only Lucalion’s head stuck out and said.

“Kamang, from now on, be quiet.”

Lucalion looked bewildered.

Regardless, Tie then put Ppupppu into the front pocket of her bag.

After similarly making only his face stick out, she put the bag on her back.

“From now on, Tie is going to talk with the Factory Manager.”

Lucalion slumped his body with a resigned expression. At that moment, he could feel Ppupppu in the front pocket through the fabric.

Lucalion kicked Ppupppu with his foot for no reason.

“…Kyusit (What are you doing, lizard)!”

Ppupppu immediately became enraged and glared at Lucalion.

Lucalion snapped back so Tie wouldn’t hear.

[You’d better not think about doing anything foolish.]

Then Ppupppu’s eyes narrowed.

[That’s what I want to say to you, lizard.]

[What?]

[Stop extorting Mother’s precious blood and return to your small, disgusting nest. You’re not going to say you can’t feel it, are you?]

Ppupppu glanced at Lucalion.

More precisely, at Lucalion’s surroundings that were faintly distorting.

[Because of you, Mother’s precious mana is leaking. And not a small amount either.]

Lucalion closed his mouth.

He didn’t want to admit it, but Ppupppu was right.

The longer he stayed manifested, the more mana Lucalion had to absorb from Astie.

[What are you going to do with a body full of holes that can’t even contain mana? The more you insist on manifesting, the more you’ll just waste Mother’s essence.]

In fact, Lucalion had been in this state ever since he first awakened from the Resting Couch.

Mana wasn’t properly stored in his body, making manifestation difficult.

As if mocking this, Ppupppu laughed sinisterly.

[I can easily last ten days with just one allocation of mana from Mother. I’ll probably be able to spend a lot of time with Mother from now on. More than you with your mayfly heart!]

Lucalion felt his insides burning as he looked at the annoying demon.

‘What, Ppupppu?’

Recalling how Astie called that evil demon made his head throb.

That creature was definitely maintaining that appearance on purpose.

Since it was the type to dig into others’ inner selves, it naturally would have figured out what Astie liked beforehand.

Not knowing any of this, thinking such a black-hearted, blood-smelling creature was cute…

[How long are you planning to keep this up? Are you going to let Mother fall into a state of depletion because of you!]

Already irritated, Ppupppu kept nagging without rest.

Of course, Lucalion knew too. That continuing to maintain manifestation would eventually strain Astie.

But Astie had so much mana.

So he wouldn’t fall into a state of depletion so easily…

[No matter how much Mother’s mana is like an inexhaustible spring, depletion is dangerous. Don’t you know that the vaster the ocean, the more impossible recovery becomes once it starts to dry up?]

Lucalion kept his mouth tightly shut.

As expected of someone who could see right through others’ hearts.

Ppupppu seemed to perfectly understand even what Lucalion feared.

[If you truly care for Mother, return to your nest immediately. Just in case, I’ll close the subspace when you disappear. From now on, I, Lord Ppupppu, will take responsibility for Mother’s safety.]

At the moment he was frowning at the sight of the creature wiggling its crude nose and laughing.

“Battery? You’re saying this object is called a battery?”

Berukon’s voice could be heard from a distance.

Turning his head, he could see Tie, who had put down her bag and gone over there, and the Factory Manager holding something in front of her.

Tie nodded her head.

“Yes! There’s this much zappy electricity in here!”

Curiosity appeared in Berukon’s eyes.

“Electricity?”

“Yes! It’s like a monster core!”

“A monster’s core? Do you mean there’s something like mana inside this?”

Tie nodded her head enthusiastically.

Then she looked around the preschool and ran to a large box full of toys.

Wondering what she was trying to do, Lucalion and Ppupppu exchanged bewildered glances.

“There’s a place to put batteries here.”

Tie lifted a toy from the box and held it out in front of Berukon.

It was a baby doll that looked quite realistic.

“What is this…”

Berukon seemed flustered, but Tie casually turned the baby doll upside down.

Then she felt around the smooth back part and opened the battery compartment cover.

While Berukon’s mouth hung open, Tie took the two AA batteries he was holding and firmly pushed them inside.

“Like this, put them in here like this…”

Tie closed the battery compartment cover and set the doll upright.

Then she pressed the baby doll’s chest in front of Berukon’s eyes,

“Kareureureuru-“

“Hieek.”

At the baby’s laughter that flowed out, Berukon was startled and stepped back.

Meanwhile, Tie just smiled brightly. Then she quickly found the bottle toy that came as a set and placed it against the baby’s lips.

This time, the sound of a baby drinking milk began to flow from the baby doll.

“Our baby, sleepy time~”

Tie, absorbed in playing mommy, held the baby horizontally and gently rocked it back and forth.

Then steady breathing sounds began to leak from the doll.

Tie, who had been looking at the doll fondly, finally flipped the doll over again and removed the batteries.

“This is how you do it.”

Berukon stared at the batteries in Tie’s hands as if he couldn’t believe it.

Then he picked up a toy train that had been at his feet and showed it to her.

“Can you do it with this too?”

“Yes!”

Tie skillfully inserted the batteries into the train.

When she placed the toy on the floor and pressed the button, the train began racing while blowing its whistle.

A strange light flickered in Berukon’s eyes as he watched it with a curious expression.
