A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 79

He unconsciously let out a chuckle.

‘I had a feeling.’

The lukewarm energy seeping in from behind his back was definitely holy power.

He slowly pulled his body away from the child.

And he opened his lips toward the child who was somehow weakly hanging his head.

“Report…”

Actually, what he was going to say was simple and direct.

He was going to ask Astie, ‘Are you planning to erase my memory with that unreported relic?’

However, for some reason, when he saw the child’s face as he looked up, his mouth closed without him realizing it.

“…Oh my.”

Sorrowful tears were dripping down the Commander King’s cheeks.

“Commander Uncle… I’m really, really sorry and apologize…”

And what about those eyes hanging heavy with guilt.

At this unexpected reaction, Valentis furrowed his brow.

Meanwhile, Tie’s sniffling was for a very natural reason.

‘I really did it.’

He had hesitated dozens of times before doing it.

After all, erasing someone’s memory wasn’t a light matter.

Until now, Tie had only erased the memories of unit members and Councilor Marianne.

But that was something done with the other party’s consent,

‘I made it so their memories would disappear only when they betrayed Tie, so it was self-defense.’

His gaze turned to Valentis in front of him.

He was still looking at Tie with an emotionless face, but with somewhat strange eyes.

‘What Tie just did to Commander Uncle was completely…’

Words like sneaky, greedy, cunning, and fraudster flashed through Tie’s mind.

A moment ago, Tie had simply gotten a promise to show him the organizational chart, then brazenly erased Valentis’s memory.

Specifically, all the secrets that Tie had confessed until just now.

His lips automatically started mumbling again.

Until now, Tie’s conscience tree had been full of abundant fruit.

At this moment, due to his first-ever fraudulent act, each fruit was getting 100 sad stickers attached.

“…Tie is really a bad child. A black consumer.”

His voice became even more sorrowful.

A small look of confusion appeared on Valentis’s face.

Meanwhile, Veil’s eyes snapped open.

His hand reached out in his sleep. What should have been there wasn’t.

When he sat up, sure enough, the spot next to him was empty.

“…Emergency.”

Veil immediately ran to the wall, turned on the mana light, and shouted.

“Emergency! The child is gone!”

At those words, Basto sprang up from his spot as if bouncing.

After that, Nordics, Raul, and even Enzo frowned and opened one eye.

“Astie is gone?”

At Basto’s question, Veil hurriedly gestured toward where Tie had been lying.

“I don’t know. He was there just a moment ago, but in an instant…!”

Before he could finish speaking, the door opened.

Basto had kicked the door open and gone out.

“Basto! Don’t rush out like that!”

Nordics called out urgently, but,

“I’m going too!”

Veil had already followed behind him and left the room.

Nordics, looking back and forth between the empty bedding and the door, let out a short sigh.

‘Until the investigation is over, everyone should stay in the dormitory as much as possible.’

The Commander’s instructions delivered through the blacksmiths last evening came to mind.

Of course, there was no reason the mercenaries had to absolutely obey his orders.

Mercenaries were, after all, a separate organization free from the Paladins.

However.

‘For now, Agabert shouldn’t displease that man as much as possible, right?’

“Old man, what should we do?”

Raul asked.

Nordics made a groaning sound and got up from his seat.

“For now, you stay here. I’ll go out and bring them all back. Astie probably didn’t go far.”

In his view, Basto and Veil were making too much of a commotion.

Thinking about it, it wasn’t like there was absolutely no reason for Astie to leave his bed.

“Since he’s a child, he might have gotten thirsty while sleeping.”

Or he might have urgently needed to use the bathroom.

If so, he probably didn’t go far.

At most, he’d be in the common room prepared on the 1st floor of the dormitory building.

Nordics put on his uniform and opened the door.

Then he began walking down the corridor, following Basto and Veil.

Whatever the case, he had to resolve the situation before those two caused a bigger commotion.

‘The whereabouts of Krazaru’s core still seem mysterious.’

Nordics had already heard about the meeting that took place the day before from Basto.

‘Silvar’s Cry seems to suspect Tie. They seem to think that since Krazaru was such a formidable villain, Tie might have stolen his core.’

Up to that point, it was perhaps natural.

Krazaru’s core had long been an object many coveted.

The claim that it suddenly disappeared one day might not be convincing to some people.

So Nordics thought Commander Luminen’s announcement to search the Weapon District was quite justified.

‘So I just hoped it would be finished quickly.’

That was until just before falling asleep, when he saw that thing briefly appear from Tie’s bag and then disappear.

“Haah…”

His head was throbbing, and another sigh flowed from his mouth.

At first, he thought it was a children’s toy or doll or something.

However, that thing was definitely moving alive.

A small, plump body.

Round eyes, a cute mouth, and even a uniquely shaped nose.

‘I briefly wondered if it might be a summoned creature…’

When that thing peeked outside through Tie’s bag and then quickly hid back inside.

Only then did Nordics instinctively feel that something was wrong.

‘Did Astie have time to summon a new summoned creature?’

Before being trapped in subspace, Tie had only one summoned creature.

That thing that looked like a small black dragon.

After being trapped in the subspace, summoning a summoned creature would probably have been impossible in the first place.

Since that level of mana couldn’t be operated within the subspace.

Then the time when Tie summoned the second summoned creature had to be after escaping from the subspace.

The problem was that Astie hadn’t used his own mana to activate anything since coming out of the subspace.

Around that point, one suspicion began to grow uncontrollably in Nordics’ mind.

Could it be.

‘It seems the core of Krazaru’s whereabouts are still mysterious.’

Perhaps…?

‘The Scream of Silvar side was suspicious of Tie.’

Last night, he tossed and turned for a while, unable to fall asleep.

The suddenly disappeared core of Krazaru.

And Tie’s second summoned creature that appeared at the same time.

Was this a coincidence?

But whatever the case, one thing was certain.

‘If Tie is hiding something, it’s over the moment he gets caught.’

Tie had already publicly declared to everyone that ‘Krazaru’s core was destroyed.’

If the core’s whereabouts were revealed differently in such a situation, Agabelt would definitely be in trouble.

Moreover, right now in the Weapons District was even Commander General Luminen, the leader of the Paladins and a loyal dog of the Order and Imperial Court.

‘If we get entangled in something like a charge of deceiving the Order…’

There was a very high probability that the small accident caused by a four-year-old child wouldn’t end as just an accident.

‘Where on earth did everyone go?’

Walking down the corridor, it was when Nordics anxiously looked around.

Finally, he saw Veil and Basto standing still around the corner in the distance.

“Veil, Basto!”

Calling out quietly, he quickened his pace.

Then he stopped in place only after almost reaching the corner.

“Astie?”

Astie, who he thought had gone down to the first floor, was standing in front of Veil and Basto in pajamas.

And behind him,

“Commander General?”

A completely unexpected figure he never anticipated.

Valentis Luminen was looking down at Basto and Veil with an expressionless face.
