Estio Volume 6
- Episode 8
How not to sprout beans that fell on a bean field and sprout. Even if humans grow up in a pack of wolves, humans are humans. Likewise, no matter how many children found and raised by humans, they could not hide the essence imprinted on their blood and soul, Moobin thought quietly.
'Until then, I'll probably still need protection.'
How long can I keep him? Mubin thought deeply and smiled and looked down at his sword, which he was most resentful of at one time. A heirloom created for the purpose of supporting the Heiga family's immense strength. According to her grandfather when she was young, dragon bones were the material.
Heiga's sword, which was black to the point of not being visible even if it was soaked in blood, was a precious sword inherited from a very distant ancestor.
"...I'm glad you found something to do."
Because that's what a guardian who drank dragon blood was supposed to do.

Meanwhile, Estio, who came into Yeon Yeon-rang's dream, was facing difficulties.
"forest?"
A forest is a forest, and it was a bamboo forest that stretched straight into the sky and stretched endlessly. On a forest road full of bamboo, Estio was lost not knowing where to go.
No matter where I went, there was only the same bamboo, so I couldn't figure out the direction or distance. The sky was overcast with clouds and it was impossible to know when it was going to rain, and a faint wind blew and shook the bamboo forest. There were no animals living in the forest, so I couldn't even hear the birdsong. Only Estio was moving in a space filled with only the sound of bamboo hitting each other.
crumble.
Then, suddenly, there was a rustling sound from behind.
"Hey, what the hell is this barren forest?"
"Tsuki."
I was happy and raised my voice a little louder. Tsuki narrowed her eyes as if it was nothing special, and then naturally stood close to Estio.
A forest like this, filled with bamboo stretching all over the place, was a bizarre topography that Luvarzan did not have.
"You say you're from an eastern country, so it's really diverse."
"Can you find Yeonbirang?"
"I can't do it here."
Searching was Tsuki's skill, but he couldn't do it this time. Tsuki shook his head and looked up at Estio. A pair of yellow and green eyes shone like jewels among the black hairs.
"I came into a dream, so you have to do it."
"Ah."
"You used to do it often."
Obviously, when I was young, Tsuki and I went to the owner of our dream and forced him to wake him up several times. If not, Estio couldn't get out of the dream until the dream owner woke up.
But even that was so old, I couldn't get a good sense of it.
"Whoa."
Estio took a small deep breath. All he could see was bamboo.
'tree? Come to think of it, this was also a tree.'
Glancing at the stretched bamboo, I remembered a method I used to do when I was stuck in someone else's dream when I was young and didn't know the way.
In the dream created by Yeon Yeon-rang, a native of the East, the surrounding trees were not broad-leaved trees often seen in the Ruvarzan Empire, but straight bamboo. The bamboo didn't have many twigs, but when I looked it up, I found a few small branches that could be broken by hand. Estio shattered it and held it in his hand. And he dropped it back to the floor.
tuk.
Estio checked the shape of the fallen branch and started walking in the direction the top of the branch was facing.
A cat quietly following up next to him asked softly.
"Estio, who taught you that method?"
"...I saw it in a book."
It was an old picture book that I can't even remember the title of now. It was also the last children's book I read with my brothers. Estio, who briefly remembered the faces of his older brother Teriot and older sister Rosette, who have now become strangers, shook his head slightly. Both were characters I didn't want to remember.
"Even if it's stupid, it's a surefire way to do it. Because this is a dream."
Tsuki checked his expression and didn't ask more about the book.
"Anything can be a sign, and anyone can appear. If you wish."
"It's not me, it's what the dream owner should have hoped for."
「Ah, ah, yes. You say you have the ability to control your dreams."
Estio looked down at the petting black cat for a moment, then turned her gaze back to the front. Now, it seemed natural that even he could control the emotions, wills, and unconsciousness of others. Apart from getting used to his strength, Estio was a little awkward with himself.
'What am I going to be now? Are you really a monster?'
Unlike the past, when he desperately tried to live like a human being, he thought it was okay to become a monster now.
either because he is human or because he is not. He knew that that shouldn't be the standard, watching fuel lang. Even most of Estio's companions were not human. Humans also had their own unique characteristics, but that was okay.
All of them, who were not ordinary, were living in the same world.
'What kind of race are dragons?'
No one had ever given him an example of exactly what a dragon was. So Estio didn't know what he was going to follow. From now on, everything was really unclear.
"Estio."
"......"
"Estio!"
nyaak.
Only after Tsuki made a loud cry did Estio suddenly come to his senses. As he continued to walk through the bamboo forest, the same landscape, he spent too much time immersed in thought.
"What are you thinking about leisurely? Look over there."
I saw a child running through the bamboo bushes, step by step. She was a girl with shiny bob hair and a flower pin. Her skinny body, dark yellow skin, and black hair and black eyes reminded me of Loa Ren I saw in the Temple of the Yellow Dragon a while ago, but her mood and appearance were completely different. The moment she saw the child, Estio noticed.
'With fuel efficiency!'
The child who appeared in the woods was the fuel lover of her childhood.
daughter and daughter.
Almost at the same time as Little Yeongi-rang appeared, a bell sounded from somewhere. Estio felt something rolling and hitting her foot and picked it up.
Upon closer inspection, it was a bamboo ball with bells in it.
"Looks like you're looking for this."
"But seeing that the ball came to you, it seems that you haven't been able to find it forever."
Tsuki wags his tail and mutters in response. People and objects appearing in the dream cannot come into contact with the outsider, Estio. The fact that the ball touched Estio's hand meant that it was an item that was never found and lost.
Indeed, the child could not find the lost ball and looked around. Then he found something other than the ball and squatted among the bamboo groves.
"Wow."
Young Yeon-yeon's innocent eyes twinkled with joy.
"Hello, Baekho."
krr.
The beast, which had been crouching among the trees, without a moment of questioning, choked its neck low. It was such a large tiger that I wondered why I had never seen it before. The tiger's distinctive stripes were lined up on the body covered with pure white fur, revealing a sense of intimidation.
"That's a god."
Tsuki was also a tiger. A black tiger in stark contrast to that white tiger. He also had the instinct to recognize the divine beast. Because he remembered it somewhere in an oil field that ran through his veins.
"A divine being who manifested in the world by borrowing the form of an animal. However, he is a god who reigns for animals, not humans."
"God... is it?"
Estio murmured as he looked at the white tiger who was crouching in front of a small child and was unable to relieve his vigilance. Then Tsuki responded with a snort.
"Of course, that doesn't mean he's a real God. However, animals cannot disobey the divine orders."
"Is Tsuki the same?"
「……」
Tsuki popped his ears. After a brief silence, Tsuki wept.
"no."
The answer was short. Estio looked down at the black cat's head for a moment, then turned his gaze back to the girl and Baekho in front of him.
Tsuki was both a tiger and a cat. Even though he was a black tiger, he wasn't born a tiger, so he couldn't really conclude what the real Tsuki looked like.
A chimera born from human hands by alchemy.
A failure that surpasses human intelligence and possesses a body with infinite potential, but the ego is so strong that it never follows people.
That was the name Tsuki had heard many times from the researchers who created him. Therefore, Tsuki was free even in the face of the divine beast who reigned as the god of animals.
"Baekho, are you hurt?"
"Creung."
"It hurts a lot?"
Young Yeon Yeon-rang was not afraid of a large tiger and was talking to her kindly. Rather, her white tiger crouched down on her, guarding her vigilance against her. The girl was even concerned with crying when she saw her wounds on her back tiger's body. She was the exact opposite of the latest fuel-eating Lang Estio met. She only looked alike, but she looked like a completely different person.
Little Yeonjunang, who looked carefully at the wounds on Baekho's body, cautiously suggested.
"Hey, will you come over to my house? I'll put some medicine on the wound."
Baekho, who had been staring at the little boy, slowly got up. He was determined to believe in the kindness of innocence. But he had been bleeding for a long time, so that decision was to no avail.
Beetle.
"Ugh, Mom!"
He was holding the Baekho, who had collapsed to the floor without being able to walk properly, and the fuel fighter wept bitterly.
"You shouldn't have done that."
"......!"
Estio turned around, startled by the sudden voice from behind. As if it had been there since, a real fuel lily with ivory hair was stroking a piece of bamboo, admiring the past together.
"Shinsuni Baekhoni, you shouldn't have believed that. If you had pretended not to know at the time, you wouldn't have done any harm to Sonata."
"With."
"You can call me by my first name. It's in my dream anyway."
Yeon-yeon-rang also knew that this was a dream. Estio stared at her with her slightly bewildered face when she saw herself as her intruder, but her fuel economy didn't make her angry. Then Yeon-yeon Rang tilted her head crookedly.
"Why do you look like that? It's something you already know anyway. You must have read your memories beforehand."
"...I haven't been awake for too long, so I'm here to find you."
"What. Did you feel a sense of responsibility for me?"
Yeon-yeon-rang, who raised her horse's tail sarcastically, passed by Estio.
"Don't worry about that. Because I don't resent you for being trapped in a dream."
