A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 91

Tie was playing hide-and-seek in the yard of a candy house that soared high into the sky.

“Tomato! Now you’re it!”

She shouted and ran toward the entrance as the talking tomato began counting numbers.

Tie quickly hid in the bushes and held her breath.

Looking outside, she saw enchanting scenery spread all around her.

A talking locomotive, unicorns flying through the sky wearing cotton candy earrings.

“Three, four, five…”

As she listened to Tomato’s voice, thinking how wonderful it would be if time could stop like this.

“…e. Tie?”

A distant voice came from somewhere.

Tie furrowed her brow.

“Tie, try to wake up.”

Uncle Basto?

The moment she thought this, she felt herself being sucked in, and her eyelids grew heavy.

“Mmm…”

Tie opened her eyes with a pout.

Basto was gently shaking Tie, who was on his back.

“We’ll arrive soon, so sleep at the dormitory.”

“Where are we…?”

When she asked in a drowsy state, Raul, who was standing nearby, answered.

“This place is called Caldenbain Ridge.”

Where Raul pointed, there was indeed a huge banner fluttering that read 【Welcome to Kaldenbain-Ridge】.

“This is the only village in the area where we can stay. Are you feeling better?”

Tie weakly raised one hand to touch her forehead.

Even when she was in the carriage, it had been extremely hot, but now Tie’s forehead wasn’t particularly warm.

The unbearable coughing had also subsided.

Tie nodded vigorously.

“Yes. I think I’m all better.”

Raul smiled as if relieved.

Then, Enzo carefully covered Tie’s back with a blanket and said.

“We decided to rest in this village for a few days. Right now Veil and Elder Nordics are looking for an inn.”

She turned her gaze forward again.

Indeed, she could see two people standing in the distance, looking around.

As if he had discovered something, Veil spoke first.

“Elder, isn’t that it? Meren’s House. It obviously looks like an inn name, right?”

“Look at the small letters too. It says general store.”

“…You’re right.”

Embarrassed, Veil turned his head indifferently.

A wide circular square.

Old buildings surrounding it in a circle.

However, among the worn signs, the word “inn” was hardly visible.

“The grocery store seems to be over there. What’s that, a restaurant? Why is the display case at the butcher shop next to it empty?”

Moreover, the more they examined this village, the stranger it seemed.

“The fruit shop is the same.”

Looking at the fruit shop with its equally empty display case, Nordics muttered.

A tailor shop with lights off. Even a grocery store without goods.

Veil furrowed his brow.

“…It doesn’t seem like there are no people inside.”

Clear signs of human presence could be felt from several buildings.

“Why are they unpleasantly pretending not to be there when they are? The banner said travelers are welcome.”

With a displeased expression, just as he placed his hand on the weapon at his waist for any possible situation.

“Elder, over there.”

Basto, who was standing behind, called to Nordics.

When he turned his head, he noticed a small building at the entrance of the square that they had missed.

【Inn】

Veil, who exchanged glances with Nordics, began walking toward it first.

Although it looked shabby, he thought they should at least go inside.

However, inside the inn they soon entered.

Everyone couldn’t help but frown.

“…What the hell is this?”

A counter that had become half sawdust, as if gnawed by rats.

Even lights covered in spider webs and walls reeking of mold.

The inn was small and shabby, more like an abandoned barn that had been neglected for a long time.

Veil, who couldn’t continue speaking, muttered.

“…This won’t do. We even have a sick child.”

Just as everyone was about to leave the inn again.

“This is the only one.”

Someone quietly appeared from the kitchen area connected to the counter.

At the kitchen entrance stood a hunched, emaciated old woman wearing a gray dress.

Basto, flustered by her gloomy and dark atmosphere, hesitantly asked.

“…What do you mean is the only one.”

“We’re the only inn in Kaldenbain-Ridge.”

The unit members looked at each other, at a loss for words.

After thinking for a moment, Basto spoke again.

“Then what are the lodging fees.”

If there was only one inn in the village, it would be better to stay even if the facilities were somewhat run-down.

‘Since Astie is sick.’

Tie had already spent the past two days inside the carriage.

If she were healthy it would be one thing, but he didn’t want to make a child who still had cold symptoms sleep outside again.

The unit members who had been staying up almost all night were also a problem.

Since leaving the Weapons District, all they had done was take turns catching some sleep in the cargo hold.

“100 gold.”

However, at the amount that was soon heard, Basto couldn’t help but gape rarely.

“100 gold?”

“That’s right.”

“That’s expensive…”

Tie, who was on his back, immediately whined.

100 gold meant 1 million won.

Even Tie, who didn’t know the local prices, knew that was an enormously expensive amount.

“It’s not even nice, so why is it so expensive?”

Basto first exchanged glances with the unit members.

Then Nordics stepped forward.

“What kind of ridiculous amount is that?”

He had a rarely seen slightly angry expression.

“Are you looking down on us because we’re travelers? There’s a limit to raising prices.”

At Nordics’ protest, the innkeeper’s faded eyes moved slowly.

She looked at the unit members silently with meaningful eyes, then spoke again.

“50 gold.”

Raul coughed, choking on his words.

The amount cut in half as soon as negotiations began.

It was blatant proof that the elder had been trying to rip off Agavert.

‘No. Maybe she wasn’t even trying to hide it.’

Angry Basto lowered his voice.

“You. You picked the wrong opponent.”

He looked back at the unit members without hesitation.

“Let’s go. I have no intention of sleeping in a place like this for that much money.”

“30 gold.”

But as if she had been waiting, the innkeeper lowered the price again.

She was still staring at the unit members with a completely unmoved expression.

Just as Basto let out an incredulous sigh and cold silence fell over the inn.

“Make it 20 gold.”

Veil, who had been quiet, spoke casually.

The elder’s cloudy eyes turned toward Veil.

Veil smiled calmly.

“What, 20 gold absolutely won’t work?”

A slight tremor appeared in the elder’s previously unmoved expression.

Veil smiled leisurely and pulled out another coin from his pocket.

“Then how about two rooms for 30 gold? If not, we’ll just leave.”

This time the elder’s face openly crumpled.

But Veil only leisurely added his next words.

“100 gold for this crumbling inn? I know the market rates.”

“….”

“If you don’t like it, forget it. We’ve slept fine on dirt floors before, one night won’t matter.”

Deep silence fell over the inn once again.

Veil shrugged at the elder’s lack of response.

But just before he turned around.

The innkeeper let out a short sigh and finally spoke in a barely audible voice.

“…The rooms are on the 2nd floor.”

“Woooow!”

As soon as the door opened, Tie ran toward the bed.

After living in a carriage for so long, she always missed beds like this.

“Pretty flower-patterned blankets—”

Of course, just before landing on the bed, Basto swept Tie up in his arms.

Basto sighed and sat Tie on a chair, then opened the window.

And began vigorously shaking out the blankets that were on the bed.

Tie’s lips parted as she watched with a curious expression.

“Wow, why are clouds coming out of the blankets…?”
