A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 92

Inn, 2nd floor corridor.

“Is your room the same?”

At Veil’s question as he came out of his room, Enzo nodded.

“Yes. And in our room, there was that…”

“That what?”

“There was a dead rat under the blanket.”

“Crazy.”

Veil stammered.

“That, that crazy old hag. Running an inn like this and charging 100 gold per night?! Ha!”

The more they checked the condition of the rooms, the more unbelievable what had happened on the first floor earlier became.

“How could she do that unless she’s gone senile?”

How could a person offer rooms like this and try to charge 100 gold?

Turning his gaze, he could see Basto still cleaning the room where Tie would stay.

Tie was already rolling around on the bed that Basto had dusted off.

“Is that really okay?”

Veil nodded.

“…Basto dusted everything off.”

Basto was so anxious that he dusted off the bedsheet, blanket, and even the pillow, then laid leather on top of it all.

Next, he layered the blankets the mercenary group had brought in two layers before finally allowing Tie to get on the bed.

But even so, he couldn’t shake off his worried feelings.

“The child’s cold won’t get worse, will it?”

Enzo let out a groan.

Still, Astie’s room looked much more comfortable than their rooms.

All thanks to Basto’s cleaning, no doubt.

He nodded.

“Yes. That should be fine. And for now, sleeping here is the best option anyway. With the weather suddenly getting cold, sleeping in the carriage would have been impossible anyway.”

“…That’s true.”

The two men let out long sighs without either going first.

As they were leaning against the corridor wall with tired expressions,

“Veil, Enzo. Are you thinking of going to the pub?”

Basto, who had finished cleaning the room, asked.

Veil straightened his back from the wall and furrowed his brow.

“Suddenly the pub?”

“Yeah! It’s over there!”

Tie’s voice could be heard from below.

Looking down, they could see Tie holding Basto’s hand tightly and pointing at the square outside the window.

“Tie saw that five people have already gone in?”

Basto shrugged as if to say ‘what can you do.’

Veil, who had been furrowing his brow for a moment, crouched down on the floor to meet Tie’s eyes.

“Child. Are you not sick anymore?”

“Yeah! I don’t hurt at all!”

Honestly, she didn’t look sick.

Is this children’s stamina?

“Wouldn’t it be better to rest today?”

Even though he asked just in case, Tie immediately made her eyes teary and pouted her lips.

“Yesterday and the day before, you said you’d listen to everything Tie wants to do…”

Veil, left speechless, had no choice but to sigh.

“…Alright, let’s go then.”

A bright smile immediately spread across the child’s face.

“Wow! Then can Tie drink strawberry juice there?”

“You drink too, child?”

“Yeah! And we’ll toast together!”

“Where are you all going?”

Just then, Raul, who had returned after disposing of the rat carcass, joined in.

Tie waved her hand with a bright face.

“We’re all going to the pub together!”

“Pub?”

“Yes. It’s a place where you talk and drink beverages together.”

Raul’s eyes lit up.

“Then I’ll come along too!”

Even though it was a shabby inn, was it because they had finally found a place to stay for the night?

After unpacking, it was just the moment when something cool came to mind.

“Let’s go, then.”

Basto muttered and took Tie’s hand as he started walking.

Then Lucalion, wearing Tie’s dress, followed behind them.

“What about Master Nordics?”

“He’s not interested today.”

Veil, who answered Enzo’s question, shook his head.

Then he too went down the stairs.

The path to the pub was smooth.

Though calling it a path was nothing much since it was just crossing the square to the building on the other side,

“Huh…?”

An incident occurred just as they reached the front of the pub.

“Hey you there.”

Veil suppressed his anger and called out to a child around seven or eight years old who had just brushed past him.

The child, wearing a hat pulled down low, turned around with hollow eyes and looked up at him.

“What.”

The insolent tone made his anger flare.

But Veil forced himself to smile.

“Bring it back, while I’m asking nicely.”

Basto stared at Veil as if asking what was wrong.

But Veil ignored the gaze and looked at the child again.

“The thing you just took from me. Bring it back.”

At those words, the boy hesitated.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about…”

However, the child who had been asking back as if he didn’t understand soon,

“Huh?”

Quickly turned around and started running toward the nearest alley.

Veil’s eyes turned fierce as he saw the silver necklace dangling from the child’s hand.

“That little bastard!”

“Veil!”

Veil shot out at high speed.

And in one dash, he caught up to the child and lifted him by the scruff of his neck.

“Ugh, damn it! Let go of this!”

The child immediately began twisting his body violently in resistance.

However, Veil only let go of the clothes he was holding after taking back his necklace from the child’s hand.

The child who fell on his bottom glared at Veil as if he wanted to kill him.

“…Tch!”

Then he spat thick saliva in front of Veil before quickly disappearing into the alley.

Enzo and Raul came running over.

“Lord Veil! Are you alright?”

Veil sighed and checked the necklace in his hand.

Fortunately, the necklace was intact.

He held his breath for a moment, then rubbed his temples.

“I’m fine. It was hanging inside my waist and he almost took it.”

When he returned to the front of the pub with Raul and Enzo, Basto and Tie were waiting for him.

Basto looked surprised, and Tie seemed frightened, tension filling her eyes.

Veil patted Tie’s head once before stepping into the pub.

“What kind of village is this…”

He was so dumbfounded that the muttering came out naturally.

From what he’d seen so far, this pub probably wasn’t entirely normal either.

And his prediction proved correct.

“Wo… ah.”

As they entered the pub, the exclamation from Tie’s mouth faded.

Ding-

Except for the door’s chime bell, the pub was silent.

Under dozens of eyes focused on her and the unit members, Tie hesitated and hid behind Basto.

The eyes of the people in the pub were literally sunken as if black holes had been punched through them.

The bone friends she had summoned before looked more lively in comparison.

“Veil oppa…”

As Tie muttered fearfully, Veil quietly approached her side.

He swallowed and looked around, then pointed to one side.

“Basto. The counter is over there.”

Basto nodded and picked up Tie.

As the group moved toward the counter, dozens of eyes in the pub followed behind them.

“…What’s going on here?”

“I don’t know either.”

While Raul and Enzo quietly exchanged words.

Basto, who had reached the counter, pressed the bell placed on top with a rather tense expression.

With a ringing sound, a small bird figure popped up above the bell and went back down.

A few seconds later.

“Oh my, I didn’t hear the bell. I’m sorry.”

Someone who had been rummaging through drawers inside the bar straightened up.

Neatly rolled up brown hair.

Tall stature and long white arms revealed under half-rolled sleeves.

A woman holding five beer mugs in one hand gazed at them.

“You seem like people I’m meeting for the first time. Are you travelers?”

Raul nodded with a bewildered expression.

“…Yes, well.”

Then the woman set the glasses down on the counter and gestured toward the menu standing on the counter.

“Then I’d like to recommend the Birch Brew. It’s beer I brew myself and it’s the most popular here. But more than that…”

Her gaze turned toward Tie and Lucalion wearing Tie’s dress.

“What business do children have in my pub? I don’t sell alcohol to children.”
