A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 74
The core… I saw it.
To be precise, I saw Ppupppu being born from the core and lying down inside Tie’s bag.
But I couldn’t reveal all of this truthfully.
Tie coughed awkwardly and answered hesitantly.
“Well, fighting Krazaru inside the Akongang was a little difficult…”
The situation improved significantly from when Lucalion appeared.
“Somehow Tie’s pet, no, summoned creature came out.”
“You summoned a creature inside the subspace?”
“Yes.”
“Isn’t mana manipulation impossible inside subspace?”
Tie’s mouth twitched shut.
‘Oh. Come to think of it.’
Mana manipulation did seem to be impossible.
But now that it had come to this, there was nothing to be done.
Tie rolled her eyes and replied dismissively.
“But it worked?”
“What?”
“Tie’s mana manipulation worked…”
Silence fell over the reception room.
When she looked up, she could see Ripper and Elanes making strange expressions.
Tie quickly added, thinking this was her chance.
“Elanes and Ripper didn’t go into the Akongang anyway.”
That meant, ‘You guys have never experienced Krazaru’s subspace. I went there and I’m telling you that’s how it was, so what are you going to do about it?’
Soon Ripper nodded.
“…Well, that’s true.”
Elanes still had a face that said it was strange, but
“Is it possible because of the dark attribute?”
She just muttered and turned her head away.
Tie, having regained her courage, continued speaking.
“Anyway, so I eliminated Krazaru’s fog and found the core, but it broke and disappeared.”
“It broke?”
“Yes!”
“And that’s it?”
“Yes, that’s it.”
Tie puffed out her chest proudly.
Tie was in a state where she hadn’t told any unnecessary lies.
‘They didn’t ask if anything came out of the core, right?’
If they had asked, she would have confessed about Ppupppu.
But since they didn’t ask, she passed.
“Is that even possible…?”
Just as Elanes was tilting her head in confusion.
“It’s possible. I saw it myself.”
Someone opened the reception room door and entered.
Tie’s expression brightened when she confirmed his face.
“Factory Manager!”
“Yes, Commander King. I’ve come.”
Berukon entered with a pleased expression and sat in the head seat without hesitation. Then he continued speaking with a bandage wrapped around his forehead.
“I saw it myself. The Commander King defeating the red fog with magic and Krazaru’s core turning to dust and disappearing.”
Huh?
Tie’s eyes widened.
“Not only that. The Commander King even saved me when I was trapped in that creature’s confusion.”
“Is that really true?”
“Of course it is! When the subspace was about to collapse, I could quickly find the spatial barrier. Thanks to the Commander King breaking through it, we were able to get outside.”
Tie’s bewildered eyes shook slightly.
‘Huh? But that’s not right…?’
There were parts of Berukon’s words that were correct, but also parts that weren’t.
‘The Factory Manager never saw the core break in Tie’s hands.’
He was unconscious when Ppupppu was born.
Tie secretly observed Berukon’s complexion.
‘Is he lying to help Tie?’
But given Berukon’s nature, it didn’t seem like he would give false testimony for someone.
Also, even though they had briefly shared hardships in the subspace, Tie and Berukon weren’t that close.
‘This is strange?’
While she was pondering.
Tap tap-
At a small sound from below, Tie startled and looked down.
Inside the Hanbit Kindergarten bag.
Ppupppu, who had somehow slightly opened the zipper, was tapping the wall inside the storage space with her trunk.
When their eyes met, Ppupppu brought her front foot to her mouth and made a small sound.
“Shhhh-“
Tie barely held back her jaw from dropping and creakily raised her head.
“Do you know how magnificent the Commander King was when facing Krazaru? She’s not called a Grand Mage for nothing! When the Commander King did a flying kick against the wall toward the sky, the height was incredible…!”
This made it certain.
“The fog of Krazaru went pow! Then the formless monster writhed greatly and crashed to the ground!”
Berukon wasn’t lying. He was really testifying about what he had seen with his own eyes.
The problem was that it was an illusion created by Ppupppu.
Tie swallowed her saliva and carefully closed the bag zipper again.
‘Ppupppu…’
At first, she thought she had just become the mother of a cute baby elephant.
Following the Sacred Relic of Oblivion, it seemed like she had somehow obtained something tremendous in another sense.
“When refining with cores from major-class monsters, sometimes weapons become duds.”
Berukon’s explanation continued for a long time.
“Sorry for the long story, but I haven’t had such a clear mind in years. Going back to what we were discussing earlier, usually when durability drops, the core used in the weapon…”
Until complete night fell outside, which had been getting dark.
But regardless of the passing time, Berukon showed no signs of stopping his talk.
When the drowsy Tie raised her head, Elanes was supporting her chin with one hand while spinning a water cup around.
Behind her, Ripper had gotten up from his seat entirely and was looking down at the Primordial Furnace through the large window.
“Elanes, focus a bit. Didn’t you ask me earlier if I had any carefully crafted weapons? Don’t you want my secret weapon that I made?”
Elanes held back a sigh and closed her eyes tightly.
‘…When exactly is he coming.’
What needed to be confirmed had already been confirmed long ago.
She had confirmed that the Factory Manager was not just fine but had better energy than usual,
And she had even heard that Krazaru’s core had most likely been destroyed.
Yet there was only one reason she couldn’t leave.
‘I can’t leave until Valentis Luminen comes.’
The Association’s orders were ‘to report the situation to Commander Luminen dispatched representing the Imperial Court.’
In other words, she had to meet him and brief him on all the information obtained so far for the summons to end.
‘I’ve been suffering all day long, so I can’t just leave now.’
“Commander King. You know, don’t you? How much passion I have for weapon crafting.”
At that moment, Berukon’s target shifted to the Commander King.
The drowsy Commander King wiped the corner of his mouth and nodded his head with what seemed like sincerity.
“Yeeess!”
“You must know from experiencing it many times while honing your magic attacks. How much effort it takes to create something with high completion!”
“Yesss.”
“So….”
Elanes whispered to Ripper who had returned to his seat.
“I take back what I said during the day.”
Ripper looked at her as if asking what she meant.
Elanes added with her eyes glowing bright blue.
“I take back saying that Tesetan was stupid for not knowing how to flatter the Association. That bastard was right. We’re the foolish ones.”
“What are you talking about, all of a sudden.”
“The Luminien Commander. Why is it taking so long? The Association clearly said they’d come by Idongchin.”
At this point in time, there was no faster means of transportation in the Empire than Idongchin.
“A few seconds to start up. A few seconds to activate. A few seconds to stabilize. It shouldn’t take even a minute, but now….”
Elanes took a breath and said.
“I can’t wait any longer.”
She stood up from her seat with a deeply furrowed brow.
“If the Association has any humanity, they’ll properly take care of compensation. I’m leaving first, so handle the rest yourselves….”
But at that moment, the Reception Room door opened.
“Sorry. I arrived a while ago, but got delayed due to some matters.”
In front of the open door stood a tall Paladin.
The moment he appeared, the air in the room changed, and Tie slowly turned her head.
Soon the child’s eyes, which had been full of drowsiness, blinked and her eyelids opened wide.
“Sorry for keeping you waiting so long.”
He looked similar.
“Then let’s start quickly and finish quickly.”
The Luminien Commander, who boasted the highest position among the Empire’s Paladins.
Perhaps Valentis Luminen, whom Tie had been longing to meet,
Tie gulped down her saliva.
‘…He looks incredibly, incredibly similar to Father!’
