4 Estio
- Episode 24
"What?"
Neju, who scratched the back of the head with an iron skewer, tilted her head. The vagrants gained confidence because they looked so untidy.
In an instant, a rope that flew from below like a snake caught Neju's left leg.
"I got it!"
Usually animals panic when their paws are tied up. Struggling to untie the rope, he would lose his balance and fall. So, once you succeed in tying your feet, it can be said that nine out of ten have succeeded in catching.
"Huh?!"
However, the joy of success was short-lived, and the tramp who threw the rope was dragged away like a fish on a hook. It was truly unstoppable.
Neju grabbed the dragged man by the collar and lifted him up.
"Here."
"Hey."
Bright red eyes flashed right in front of his nose. The trash dumpster felt like he was going to pass out, and he struggled with his legs off the ground. Neju, who held up a strong adult male with her one hand, pointed at her feet with a grin.
"Your line got caught in Neju's feet."
In front of the thick and strong white fur monkey's legs, even a rope made of twisted straw was insignificant. Neju didn't feel threatened at all, and she just asked softly.
"Hehe, please release me."
"Hey, he's strong! Save me!"
The man, who had been terrified and woke up late, sent a desperate call for help to his co-workers who were hiding. If it were held like this, it felt as if the neck would be separated from the body by those white fangs at any moment.
The residents of the garbage dump murmured when they saw their comrades who started to tremble like freshly caught fish.
"Did you hear that beast talking?"
"Is it a rare monster?"
"You mean it wasn't just a monkey?"
There was only one conclusion.
"It'll be a lot of money."
He didn't even care about the life or death of his colleague who was in crisis. For the residents living in the garbage dump, a loaf of bread was more valuable than a human life. If it's necessary, it's a captured companion.
A muffled laughter erupted from all over the place. Neju sensed her strangeness and gently lowered the person she was holding onto the floor.
The wanderer who was caught and thought he was going to be eaten, but was released, looked at Neju with an unfamiliar expression on his face. Then she started to run away, wanting to live with the ropes and anything else thrown away.
"Hey, why are you scared?"
Neju was as kind to others as possible and smiled, but I felt embarrassed when my partner ran away in such a hurry. A strange scene was caught in Neju's vision, who was rubbing her lips with her palm, wanting to practice her facial expressions.
"Huh? Wait a minute!"
Neju stretched out her arms toward the back of the man who was running away. She made a thump-thumping sound every time Neju took her step. The vagrant glanced behind her and screamed in horror.
"Aww! A monster is chasing you!"
"It's not that! If you go that way...!"
There was no room for further warning.
Whoops!
Neju stopped bewildered in her seat. Her red blood dripped from her toes, covered in her fluffy white fur, and she drenched her little by little. It wasn't her Neju's blood.
The vagrants who had killed their own people by stabbing them with a single knife kicked him and rolled him towards Neju as if to feed him.
"Looking at it earlier, it seems that the words make sense."
"......"
"Let's make a compromise, monkey. I'll give you this as a gift."
Residents of the dump site treated the body with still warm body temperature as meat. The red eyes of the corpse that had rolled over without even closing their eyes became tears of tears.
"Why did you kill me?"
"If the prey keeps running away, isn't it cumbersome to eat it? Come on, come here. If you follow us, we'll give you a lot of delicious food."
"Don't eat it!"
Neju exclaimed. It was such a loud roar that the cowardly vagrants took a step back in an instant.
"Don't follow people you don't know."
"Oh, no. Don't do that. It's the food we prepared with all our heart..."
"Don't eat people! Neju isn't a monster!"
Although Neju belongs to the family of white fur monkeys, she was born to a human mother. She was half-human, half-human, so of course she doesn't eat humans. Those who did not know that did not understand her angry Neju and only swallowed her dry saliva.
"Because Estio said he wasn't a monster."
Neju, who was somehow embarrassed, snorted. Estio was the only person who comforted Neju from the snowy mountains without treating him as a monster. At first glance, Neju looked like Estio's protector, but she was actually the opposite. Neju followed him like her parents.
'Now!'
While the young white-haired monkey howled, the vagrants glanced at their comrades hiding in the corner. The waiters who received the signal moved silently.
Whoops, puck!
When Neju looked up in surprise, the bottle had already hit her head. A sticky liquid flowed through the shards of the shattered bottle with a crackling sound.
"What!?"
It was a poison with a pungent smell. It was a poisonous drug mainly used to catch monsters, but it was mainly used for hunting because even violent creatures suffer when their eyes and nose are irritated. Neju, who was completely covered in a spicy drug bursting above her head, rubbed her eyes frantically. But the more she rubbed her eyes, the more pungent energy penetrated her, making her even more distressed.
"Strike the head to stun it!"
In order to catch and sell expensive pets, the fewer scratches the better. Dumpster dwellers couldn't buy expensive anesthetic drugs in large quantities to put the giant beast to sleep, so they tried to manually stun them and take them away.
White-haired monkeys are strong but slow-moving races. A vagrant approaching swiftly aimed at Neju's suffering head and swung her iron club.
The squeaking sound was quite loud.
'That's right.'
He was a skilled man with a lot of experience in breaking the heads of both animals and humans. As the feeling of being properly hit on the white-haired monkey's head climbed up his palm, the vagrant felt lifted up and grinned. Now, if you just fall down, you can drag it away before the original owner comes out.
However, their plan, which they wanted to go smoothly until then, failed in vain.
"Kreor...."
Neju, who was hit in the head, suddenly wrinkled his expression. Her hands, which had been rubbing her eyes in a frantic way, slowly touched her floor. The residents of the garbage dump, who had a low posture, and their eyes met with ferocious bright red eyes, had to face the warning of instinct running down their backs all at once.
Instead of fainting, he was very angry.
"Aww!"
The face of the innocence disappeared was full of the ferocity characteristic of a wild beast.
People didn't realize it, but this roar had the effect of temporarily paralyzing the listener's muscles.
Neju, who was lowering her posture, rushed towards the vagrants who had momentarily hardened.
The white-haired monkey was obviously large and had a sluggish side to react. But apart from that, the running speed was very fast. The white-haired monkey is not called the king of snowy mountains for nothing. It was because of his hunting skills that he never lost his prey even in the midst of freezing and slippery ice and a blizzard.
Neju didn't eat humans, but it had enough killing power.
all of a sudden.
When the thick forearm struck once, the raindrops were scattered like branches breaking. Even though her blood splattered and flesh fell, Neju could not calm down easily.
In a frenzy, Neju raised her nails and stabbed or tore them at will. There was a chaos in an instant, but no one came to dry up the garbage dump because there was no one in charge of security.
"Yes!"
In the end, Neju was only able to calm down after Estio, who heard the scream, realized the situation and hurriedly left Isak's house.
"Neju, look here."
"Kreuk."
Estio, who approached the energetic white-haired monkey, stretched out her hand.
His fur, which had been splattered with human blood, was no longer as white as snow. Because he inflated his body with anger, his shape was different from usual and terrifying. Neju, covered in crimson blood, was so menacing that Parker, whom he had known for a long time, trembled and shrugged her wings.
He became more docile because he was in front of Estio, but his red eyes still gleamed with madness. Estio patted Neju's head, not paying attention to those eyes. Right now, Neju is inflated, so Estio had to stand up to barely reach his height.
"It's okay. No one to upset you is here anymore."
"Estio, humans killed their comrades!"
"...Is that so?"
"And he gave it to me to eat. It was terrible."
Neju still couldn't contain his excitement. In anger, she spoke through thought waves instead of human language, but her bloody throat choked out intermittently.
"I am not a monster. While we were making a compromise, we poured something like strange water on it. Then my eyes were very sore and hurt."
His eyes and nose were still burning. Neju sniffed her runny nose and cried.
"I was so angry that I couldn't get my mind to it."
Neju rested her head on Estio's palm with a depressed expression. And she said it out loud this time.
"I'm sorry..."
"I'm sorry I left you alone."
Different apples popped out at the same time. Neju was saying that he was sorry for running around with her, and Estio was saying that he was sorry for making Neju go through dangerous things on his own. Having fully understood each other's will, Boo nodded at the same time again without explanation.
After saying that, Neju's size, which had swelled up like an angry hedgehog, returned to its original size. Even so, he was still taller than a normal person, but his sharp nails and ragged muscles had diminished and he felt much smaller. When she became the little Neju that her party knew again, Parker, who had been watching with a nervous feeling, was relieved.
Only Moobin, who was not very tense from the beginning, yawned. In his arms, the cactus he had accidentally held instead of Neju was asleep.
"By the way? But Estio, the eye patch has been removed."
"Ah."
"Is it okay if I don't cover it now?"
Instead of answering, Estio pulled out an eye patch from his coat pocket and fiddled with it for a while. He rushed out to calm Neju, but it was still difficult to control his power. When I used the eye patch, my vision was blocked, so it was frustrating, but it was no big deal. As soon as you get out of this garbage dump, the streets of the colorful capital city of Eli will open up again, bustling with people.
"No, I still need it."
Estio sighed and put on the eyepatch again. His eyes were covered and darkness came.
"Let's go back."
Nyaang, the black cat wags its tail and follows Estio. No one stood in their way until they left the blood-soaked dump.
