A Powerful Child Searches for Dad Episode 93

Tie examined the woman before him with sparkling eyes.

Round, pretty eyes.

A gentle smile and a warm-looking impression.

‘She looks exactly like Teacher Isoljae.’

The woman who appeared to be the pub owner had a similar atmosphere to the Hanbit Kindergarten teacher.

And that meant,

‘A good person!’

Tie, who instantly let down his guard, stepped down to the floor and politely bowed with his hands on his belly.

“Hello, boss lady. Tie came to drink strawberry juice, not alcohol.”

“Strawberry juice?”

“Yes. If there’s no strawberry, orange juice is fine too.”

Meanwhile, Adelin, the pub owner, concealed her wary expression and raised her gaze.

Two children and four men.

‘It’s a rather strange combination.’

Then she stared at the young children before her again.

“Lucarion, what do you want to drink?”

“Same as you.”

These children were even boldly ordering fruit juice, knowing full well where they were.

However, Adelin, who had been frowning, eventually smiled.

‘They are at an age where they want to imitate adults.’

There were many such children in her village of Kaldenbain-Ridge too.

The problem was that the adult lives these children were imitating were somewhat harsh and rough.

“Alright. I’ll take your order as two glasses of orange juice. We’re out of strawberries.”

Tie beamed at Adelin’s response.

“Wow! Thank you!”

“Sure.”

“….”

“What are you doing, Lucarion? You should say thank you too.”

“Thank you.”

“Not to me, to the boss lady here!”

“…Thank you.”

Adelin laughed and turned toward the fruit box behind the counter.

Most of the fruit was rotting, but fortunately there were two decent oranges.

She cut the oranges in half, squeezed the juice, mixed it with birch syrup and clean water, and put it in glasses.

When she stuck in straws and offered them, the child received the glass with an excited face.

Adelin then turned her gaze to the four men.

“What can I get for the rest of you?”

At those words, one pretty-looking man looked her over warily and answered.

“Four of what I mentioned earlier.”

“Birch brew?”

“Yeah.”

Adelin nodded and began pouring alcohol into the glasses she had taken out earlier.

Then, through the spigots hanging from the oak barrel, she made eye contact with one of the village residents.

‘Adelin. Are you sure you’re okay?’

Adelin, who confirmed the lip movement, quickly smiled.

And she shook her head at the other customers in the pub as if to say not to worry.

The village residents who had been staring at the outsiders finally looked away.

It was after she handed the last glass to the Agabert party.

“Are visitors rare here?”

Enzo asked.

Adelin unconsciously looked around at the other customers in the pub.

Then she smiled awkwardly and asked back.

“Why? Because of what happened earlier?”

Enzo let out a hollow laugh.

“Of course. It’s the first time in my life I’ve received that many stares at once. And they weren’t particularly good stares either….”

Adelin recalled the stares that had been focused on them the moment they entered the pub.

Well, even from her perspective, the villagers’ stares toward outsiders weren’t particularly kind.

“Well, that’s true….”

However, Adelin, who was about to speak, closed her mouth again.

‘…These people don’t need to know.’

About Kaldenbain’s dark side. They’ll be leaving soon anyway.

“Adelin! One more here!”

Just then, a customer from the corner of the pub called for Adelin.

Adelin quickly turned around to prepare a new glass.

Veil was watching this scene with a somewhat meaningful expression.

“That woman is a noble.”

As soon as they moved to a small table in the corner of the pub, Veil said.

“What do you mean….”

Basto immediately widened his eyes, but Raul and Enzo nodded as if they knew.

“I was thinking the same thing.”

“Me too.”

Basto stared at the unit members with a bewildered face.

When he turned his head, several more customers had entered the pub.

They each glanced once at the Agabert party and then engaged in various conversations with Adelin.

Basto’s gaze turned to Adelin’s attire.

‘A noble?’

Simple clothing and a face without makeup.

Adelin was polite and kind, but she seemed far from the word “noble.”

Above all, how could the owner of such a shabby pub be a noble?

It was when he was puzzled.

“When handing over glasses, she kept her elbows against her body the whole time, and she turned the handles toward us too.”

“I was surprised by the eye greeting. At first I thought it was coincidence, but now I see she gives an eye greeting every time she hands over drinks. Exactly 2 seconds each time.”

Basto frowned.

“So what? Does doing such actions make you a noble?”

Veil looked at Basto as if frustrated.

“The fact that she did such actions isn’t the key point.”

“Then what is?”

“The key point is that she repeats such actions several times as if they were ingrained.”

Raul nodded.

“That’s right. Repeating the same actions probably means there’s a high possibility she trained and internalized them.”

Basto finally let out a small “ah.”

Indeed.

Even if they were trivial actions, if they were repeated without the slightest error, it couldn’t be considered coincidence.

“It did look like male etiquette though.”

“No, female etiquette was mixed in too.”

In front of Veil and the twins who had started a discussion, Basto looked down at the seat next to him.

There sat Astie and Lucarion side by side.

Astie had been imitating the ‘noble etiquette’ that the unit members had been talking about since a while ago.

“Like this?”

“No, I said keep your elbows close to your body.”

“Like this?”

“Astie. You spilled ice.”

“Huh. Sorry….”

“….”

“But Lucarion, do you want to eat this ice that fell?”

“No.”

“If you eat it, I’ll eat one too! Let’s eat one each, okay?”

“…Why on earth?”

As expected of a child and summoned creature, it was a completely unpredictable conversation.

Meanwhile, Veil was still talking about Adelin.

“That woman seems to have quite a good relationship with the villagers, doesn’t she?”

“I thought so too. Honestly, this village… doesn’t the atmosphere feel a bit eerie?”

“That’s right. The inn situation, and meeting that pickpocket in front of the pub too.”

Veil closed his mouth for some reason.

He was spinning his emptying beer mug round and round as if lost in deep thought.

That’s when it happened.

“Shall I get you all another round?”

Adelin asked, having appeared at some point.

Startled, Veil stared intently at Adelin before nodding his head.

“…Sure.”

“Then I’ll have one too, please, Lady.”

“Me too.”

As Raul and Enzo’s orders followed, Adelin smiled warmly and walked toward the counter.

“Uncle Basto.”

Just then, Tie gently tugged at Basto’s sleeve.

When he looked down, the child was looking at him with sparkling eyes.

“Can Tie have one more too-?”

Basto chuckled briefly before answering firmly.

“No. No more juice.”

Shock appeared on Tie’s face.

As the child pouted, Lucarion patted Tie’s back with an expressionless face.

That night.

The unit members stayed at the pub quite late.

When Tie fell asleep leaning against Lucarion’s shoulder, the unit members walked back to their dormitory under the cloudy night sky.

Was it because of the accumulated fatigue?

Everyone, mellowed by the alcohol, quickly fell into sleep.

However, at dawn before daybreak had even arrived.

Everyone had no choice but to snap their eyes open at an unexpected loud noise that shook the inn windows.

[Ah- Ahem- Announcing to everyone in Kaldenbain-Ridge! This morning, this week’s collection will be concluded-!]
