Estio Book 5
- Episode 23
Growling like an angry brown bear, Galvin clenched his fists in excitement.
"Everyone sees blue sand and says it's cursed sand, but I've definitely seen it. Cruel bugs gnawing at my camels in an instant!"
Galvin encountered Blue Sands countless times. He met by chance on a trip and struggled, and sometimes went looking for him to uncover his identity. And one day, at the moment closest to the blue sand, I could see it because my eyesight was better than others. The appearance of the swarming insects that make up the blue sand.
Recalling the disgusting swarm of insects that took the lives of many travelers and colleagues, Galvin grunted his teeth and looked at the party with a terrifying force.
"The moment you touch them, you are bound to die, so how did you get out of it on foot?"
"Ahaha, if it wasn't for Leader, we would have been devoured by them by now and turned into a handful of sand."
Looking back, it was a terrifying moment. Parker continued, rubbing the nape of his neck, which felt cool for nothing.
"Wow! It was a good thing it was a bug. I thought it was a cursed land, and I was so scared that even a ghost might pop out."
"...Is that scary?"
Moobin, who was listening, pointed out in a frustrated voice. The cowardly Join people were more afraid of ghosts than the ghost stories that they might die.
Galvin continued to talk about the problems that occur in the desert.
"Recently, the damage caused by it is too great. In addition, the desert monsters have become more ferocious than before."
"Yes? Even monsters?"
Unlike Parker, who was surprised, Mubin crossed his arms and pondered over the memory of being attacked by a group of Giant Scorpions.
"Hmm. That's right, it definitely felt like I was going for it with determination.
"It's strange to hear that. Monsters use tactics."
"Hey, isn't it weird?"
Galvin was so moved by the people who listened to him well that he even burst into tears.
"The people in my village don't believe me. The insects attacking people in swarms and the monsters starting to rush in with a determined plan! It's obviously strange, but I don't intend to investigate!"
"Uh, you say you're the lord? You can just order it."
"It's an order. What do you order?"
It was a matter for the lord to decide on his own. But Galvin shook his head furiously.
"As a lord, I can't think of anything to command my people."
"that."
"Because orders that have not been trusted are just nagging you don't want to hear."
Contrary to the ferocious appearance he has shown so far, there was a bitter smile on Galvin's face. He was the chief of a tribe who freely wandered the desert before becoming a lord.
"So, I was on the way to ask the guild for help. Ignis says that if you ask for anything, they will do it, is that true?"
While meeting the members of the Ignis guild, Galvin asked a question that he had always been curious about. Parker, who had been working as a delivery man for a long time, tilted his head slightly.
"Well? If it is possible, the right person will take care of it.
The high success rate of the quest was Ignis' pride, but he didn't say that he would accept all requests unconditionally. If the guild was damaged or there was no suitable person, the quest was rejected.
"This is it."
While we were chatting, we arrived at the Turke Guild branch. The Guild Center was also shabby like other buildings. The party barely found a pattern with the red fire bird Ignis on the small flag hanging on the doorway.
Since it was in the form of a tent, there was no such thing as a door at the entrance. As they walked inside, walking on their feet made of woven soft cloth and beads, the beads clashed and a loud sound signaled the arrival of a guest. It was a bit dark inside and quiet.
Parker, who was weak in this atmosphere, swallowed dry saliva and carefully opened his mouth.
"Hey, over there...?"
"Oh, come on!"
The Turke branch was newly established, so there were not many customers yet. The counter staff who had entered the warehouse and was organizing the document boxes heard the customer's voice and rushed out.
"Customer Satisfaction Welcome to Ignis! How can we help!"
A clumsy turban ran down his forehead. The young male employee, who came from a foreign country rather than a desert resident, was full of enthusiasm.
Galvin raised his fist proudly and shouted.
"Khahaha, I'm here to commission you!"
Judging from the form alone, it was like someone who came to apply for a duel rather than a request. The counter staff, who had been pressed by his momentum, recognized him and took a deep breath.
"No, aren't you Lord Turke?"
The lord here is so free-spirited that he can be easily met like a street tree, but it was difficult for people from other countries to deal with him. This is because the imperial people who lived in cities were used to a hierarchical society.
The stiffened employee bowed his back almost at a right angle. The wind blew the papers he was holding in his arms and fell to the floor of the rainwater, but he didn't even think to pick it up and opened his trembling lips.
"You didn't contact me in advance."
"Ah! Do I need to make a reservation in advance to ask the guild? I didn't know."
"He, he, that's not it!"
The guild staff, who had been accustomed to the city culture, were embarrassed even in front of the simple reaction characteristic of the desert tribe.
"Khahahaha! I see this guy often and he has become ice again. When are you going to adapt to Turke?"
"Sorry, I'm sorry. I'll get used to it soon."
"I'm not saying anything. Work comfortably, take it easy."
Galvin bent down and picked up the documents that had fallen on the floor, collected them well and handed them to the staff.
"Now, here are the things I dropped."
"Thank you, lord."
The employee who took the paper and raised his head found the people who had come with Galvin. The staff, who quickly recognized that they were wearing familiar clothes, hardened in a different way this time.
'I hope they are!'
Youngju Galvin, who was excited to see the young employee's changing expression every moment, came back and introduced Estio's party.
"That's right, I met these people while coming. They're from the same guild, right? They're lost because they can't find their way."
He continued talking to himself, saying that he should put up signs all over the town for travelers. Then the counter staff, who suddenly came to his senses, put his hands together as if praying with bright eyes.
"Are you... a guild leader?"
"Yes. Nice to meet you. This is Estio."
Estio, who had been waiting patiently for Galvin's farewell to end, nodded and looked down.
"Gee, I'll bring the branch manager!"
The employee left a message asking him to wait for a moment and then disappeared somewhere.
The waiting time was a bit long. The branch manager, who showed up with slow steps, welcomed them, unlike the staff who often followed along with a lot of trouble.
"I was waiting, leader. My name is 'Jinyu', a guild member in charge of managing the Turke branch here."
"Five."
Mubin, who saw the head of the Turke branch greeting in a calm voice, was slightly impressed.
Jinyu was a female branch manager who started with nothing and was promoted to a position in the rugged desert after being recognized for all of her outstanding abilities and excellent skills to utilize them. But the reason why her move was surprised was not because she was a rare female branch manager.
prick.
The round horns and the slender ears that protruded through the lemon-colored hair gently fluttered.
'Not a human ear.'
They were sheep's ears covered in short, soft white fur.
'That branch manager is also a number one.'
She was of a special race, just like Parker in their group. If Parker was a Zinyu with the wings and tail feathers of a bird, Jinyu was a Sheep Beast with sheep horns and sheep ears. The fresh lemon-colored baby perm hair was fluffy like wool.
Perhaps it was because of the image of the sheep race, or perhaps because she was standing among the strong, muscular men, she looked as delicate as a baby sheep, even as an adult.
"The leader received a message from the headquarters saying that he was carrying out a separate mission." Jinyu was not only walking, but also speaking very slowly. Estio nodded towards her, her slowly blinking her dark eyes, her dark chocolate color, and her slow response.
"Yes, but it's not urgent."
"then......?"
"I think it is the order that the guild should follow now to listen to the client's story first."
Estio pointed out that the order was reversed. He said he had to put the client first. Surprised by the appearance of the guild executive, the staff just fluttered.
A gentle smile appeared on the branch manager Jinyu's face, like the moonlight, when he heard the criticism.
"Okay. I agree with the leader."
Everyone who was looking at her thought that somehow she had a beautiful voice. To the extent that all of her unknowingly followed her and laughed together.
There was only one person who didn't laugh. Estio felt a strange sense of something digging into his chest and flinched.
'Is Jinyu's feelings flowing in?'
Transmitting other people's thoughts and feelings to him was a familiar thing he had experienced since childhood. But now he is blindfolded. Without special contact, I could not feel the emotions of others so clearly.
This was not something Estio read, but a feeling that the other person was letting go. He wasn't controlled by his emotions, but Jinyu, who stared at him dazed by the unusual emotional transfer he experienced for the first time, clapped lightly.
"Really, Leader. Is it as rumored?"
When she heard the applause, everyone who had been possessed by her voice came to their senses and hurriedly managed their expressions. Parker also put the corners of her lips, which had been shabby, back to her place, regardless of her will.
Jinyu, who looked around the bewildered people once, apologized.
"I'm sorry that I dared to test the leader's abilities. It's been a long time since I've seen someone with abilities in the same category."
Even after hearing the apology, Estio was more concerned about the expression 'same lineage' rather than saying that he tested himself.
"I can't do anything crazy for the leader, but I'm also a person with psychic abilities."
"...Psychic realm?"
"The power to assimilate emotions by putting emotions in the voice."
A Yang Bui woman with lemon hair put her hand on her chest and bowed softly to introduce herself again.
"The so-called 'emotional assimilation', that is the ability I have."
Estio managed to suppress the urge to immediately take off the eye patch and throw it away.
'There was.'
Although not exactly the same, there were fellows with similar powers. It really felt like I had found an oasis while wandering through the desert without a sip of water. The feeling that the thirst he had been giving up had been quenched, at least a little, made him cry.
