Estio Book 5
- Episode 7
Moobin muttered with an uneasy feeling.
"Do I really have to make such a threat?"
"Otherwise, they'll keep playing around. The idea is to protect precious spirits and protect people as well. Someday, if you find a suitable contractor, you might be able to create a wonderful elementalist within the guild, right?"
Shuan, who had said that far, gave a wink while stroking the mirror.
It was a plan that wasn't too bad for Estio to hear. He couldn't allow the newborn spirit to wander around like this, so it was better to hold onto him somehow. When he was silent, Xuan gestured to the fake chef.
"Come back soon. Before your precious house is destroyed."
When Shuan pranked the old mirror and pounded it with his fists, the startled fake chef tried to run away in haste.
wow.
However, because of the handcuffs tied to his wrists, he was unable to do this and only his feet were rolling. She had a good expression on her face, fearing that her self-mirror would break. Mubin, who felt pity for her earnest gaze, took her luck away.
"Hey, department manager. Isn't it the order to first release the bond and call?"
"Nope."
But Shuan shook his head leisurely.
"look."
"Huh? What."
Mubin, who was about to ask what he was looking for, just shut his mouth.
slurr.
The body of the spirit, who mimics the chef's appearance as if reflected in a mirror, was disintegrating like a snowman melting in the sunlight. From his fingers to his hair and eyeballs, everything melted and turned into jelly, causing some researchers to frown on their stomachs.
On the other hand, Moobin, who watched the scene without distorting an eyebrow, exclaimed, "Oh," exclaimed.
"Is that the body of that mirror spirit?"
"That's it. As you can see, physical bondage means nothing to the spirit."
The real chef who was left alone raised his wrist with a puzzled look. The handcuffs on the other side of her empty, dangling in the air. When he released his handcuffs, the Chef stepped back, rubbing his goosebumps forearm.
"Ugh, that must have been a terrible experience."
"You've worked hard."
"The guild leader worked harder. Thanks to him, I was able to safely determine the authenticity, thank you very much."
Chef Cheese, who had been bowing his head with sincerity to Estio, immediately lifted his questionable eyes and flew to the mirror, pointing to a strange spirit that did not know whether it was a liquid or a gas that had stuck together.
"By the way, the one who asks if it is a demon or a spirit……"
"Because it's a spirit, Cheese."
"Yeah, spirit. Shuanberg, is it really true that the spirit is sealed inside the mirror?"
Shuan looked down at the spirit attached to the mirror, emitting smoke.
"Uh, it was a mistake, so I'm not sure I'm sure. I think I'll have to do more research on this mirror spirit."
"Then let's just kill him."
It was Yeon-yeon-rang that brought out the radical proposal. Before Shuan could even open her mouth, Birang gathered her magical energy and grabbed the blue spear in her hand.
"Heh, 'spirits are not affected by physical force'."
Yeon Yeon-rang's beige eyes stared coldly at the old mirror.
"You don't know unless you try? What do you know when that monster will come out of the mirror again and harm humans?"
"Rangi is also true, isn't it a spirit, not a monster?"
"Even if it's not a spirit, but a divine beast, if it harms humans, it's a monster!"
Yeonjunang, who shouted with poison, grabbed the spear and ran towards the mirror like Biho. Her spirit, who had been clinging to the mirror in which her self was born, and rubbing her body like her kitten, noticed her and looked back at her.
'You're going to break the mirror.'
After reading the unstoppable trajectory, Mubin watched with his arms crossed. He didn't feel the need to stop Birang this time. It was because there was no Estio's order, and there was no guarantee that that mirror spirit wouldn't really harm humans.
It was the next moment that the spear, which had been thrown out as if it would pierce through the spirits, without any hindrance, came to a standstill.
"what."
"Oh my God. Langa."
Even the head of the Magic Research Department, Shuanberg, covered his mouth with a surprised look.
This is because the spirit, which was moving like a well-melted snowball, took on a single shape at some point. The spirit's hair, looking at the sharp tip of the spear that stopped in front of him, ran down her round shoulders.
Everyone who saw it thought the same thing.
'With fuel economy?'
The Spirit of Mirror had turned into a girl with the exact same face as Yeon Yeon-rang who was about to attack her. There is only one difference.
"Why is it black?"
Unlike Yeon Yeon-rang's ivory hair and beige eyes, the spirit who copied her had black hair and black eyes. She had a similar color to Mubin, who came from her family, Hei, who drank the blood of a black dragon, but it was a little different. She was an oriental color that harbors nostalgia somewhere.
The ink-colored black hair that was scattered over the dark tan skin looked awfully good.
"The spirit of the mirror is a being that reflects what it is. If that is the case, then what is Rangi originally...?"
It is currently only dyed in ivory, meaning that it is originally a clan of the Eastern countries with black hair. Estio, who realized the situation a step late only after hearing Shuan's murmur, raised his head in amazement. Beyond the vision obscured by the eye patch, there was a man in shock.
A girl from the Yeon family with dark hair.
It was the truth Yeon Yeon-rang wanted to hide so much. Her expression gradually disappeared from her face as she saw her true self as if facing her mirror. It was a danger signal.
"Mobin!"
Hearing the owner's urgent cry, Mubin drew his sword straight away. No detailed instructions were needed. As soon as he turned his body in the direction of the dreadful life flowing out, Mubin confronted the magical weapon that was being mercilessly thrown out.
Wow!
The clash of swords and spears reverberated throughout the room as if it were tearing the air.
Waves of unsteadily shaky magic swept everywhere, and rainwater poured down from here and there. Mysterious magic potions, mainly in glass bottles, slipped through the broken pieces, and the screams of the researchers burst out one after another.
Yeon-yeon-rang was emitting magical power with a terrifying force. It wasn't just her mirror spirit that she was looking for anymore.
"Hey, lady. That's too radical. Are you going to kill all your colleagues?"
"...you shouldn't know anyone."
Yeon-yeon-rang rolled her eyes and muttered.
"That I am me. That I survived there."
"Hmm, the dark hair and yellow skin, so was it from Haedong?"
It was a movie that I roughly hit with the emotion of wanting to know what it was, but the moment I heard the name of the kingdom called 'Haedong', the blood drained from Yeon Yeon-rang's face. Beige eyes blazing with her anger passed Mubin. She glared at Estio, who remained behind her.
"As expected, the monster should have been killed earlier. If that had happened, this wouldn't have happened. Everything, it's all your fault!"
"......"
Aside from anger, other emotions were felt in the ghastly scream.
'fear.'
Estio noticed that Yeonjunang was terrified. He took a deep breath while listening to the poison. And he was surprised by the sudden surge of magic power, and he supported Shuan, who had fallen, and got him up.
"La, why is Rangi doing that?"
"Shuan."
"Yes?"
Shuan looked up worriedly at Yeon Yeon-rang, who was running wild, and Mubin's back, who was blocking her. And the moment his dark blue eyes met his gaze, he became dazed.
"Forget what you saw today."
"Ah......."
"All you have seen is the spirit of the mirror that has turned into a chef. Forget the dark-haired girl. 'Rang' is not here."
Estio, who took off the eye patch and exposed his eyes, gave orders to all the researchers in the room. His voice naturally flowed into everyone's head. Gradually his memory faded and his eyes lost focus.
"And sleep in peace."
dump.
As soon as the words were finished, the sound of falling down was heard everywhere. Mubin, who had been standing in the way of her runaway fuel cellar, glanced behind her and saw her unconscious researchers strewn all over her like her corpse.
The only people who did not enter the sphere of influence where Estio had erased their memories were Mubin and Yeon-yeon. From the beginning, the mirror spirit, who had no ego, looked like Yeon Yeon-rang, hugging the mirror and blinking her eyes.
"With fuel efficiency."
"Don't call me by that name!"
It screamed like a riot. But Estio didn't care.
"You don't have to be afraid. They don't remember seeing you anymore."
"......!"
The girl flinched and looked around the fallen researchers. Upon discovering Shuan, who had lost consciousness, the momentum that had been filled with madness subsided a little. But she quickly shook her head.
"How do you believe that? There's also a telemarble device here. There must be others watching through the marbles!"
"If I told a lie."
A quiet voice continued.
"Come and kill me first."
Yeon-yeon's lips parted openly. There was no reason for such a talented person to risk his life to tell a lie. The strength drained from his hand, which was desperately holding the spear. Yeon-yeon Lang put his weapon down and staggered back. Even her move took her sword without her dare to pursue her.
"Ha, ha ha. It's a convenient... ability."
A smirk leaked out. Birang smiled with a face that looked like he was about to cry.
"you."
Yeon-yeon-rang, who had been standing for a while, looked at Estio. There was still a glimmer of madness over his beige eyes.
"Guild leader, if only you get entangled, everything around me will be a mess."
Estio just listened without saying a word.
"Did you read everything in my head from the beginning? My real name, of course, where I came from and why I dyed my hair. Did you erase everyone else's memory because you knew everything?"
"Yes."
There was no point in pretending not to be here. As Estio meekly affirmed, Yeon Yeon-rang distorted her expression.
"But why?"
"?"
"Why didn't you say anything? You knew my secret, you could have told someone or threatened me."
Estio had never thought of that at all. It was not unusual for him to read his secrets. And he held the secret as a weakness and did not even think to shake it.
"I don't want to."
"Why?"
"Do you even need a reason for your own heart?"
Looking at Estio who asked the reverse question, Yeonjunang clenched his fists.
"I hate you too, monsters like you."
tuk.
A drop of tears that had been hidden in the end fell to the floor. Yeon-yeon-rang turned around without showing any more crying and left her lab.
Estio approached the mirror spirit who was watching the scene. And he politely asked.
"Will you stop following her now?"
Surprisingly, the spirit immediately changed its appearance. The spirit, who had become like jelly again, crawled into the mirror. Estio sighed in relief.
"I wonder."
It was then that a mysterious voice that had never been heard before flowed into his head.
"Do people hate me?"
