- Episode 15
Unicorns born with horns filled with divine power had intelligence similar to those of humans. I was surprised to see Neju as soon as I woke up, but when I regained my consciousness, I realized that Estio and his friends had saved him as he remembered the situation in which he was caught by the hunters and even the memories of dying.
"Ugh, I can't get up because of the chain."
"I should have gotten the key, but I didn't think of it. I'm sorry."
Estio apologized to the uncomfortable unicorn. He forgot to get the key to unlock the chains as he was trying to get out of the town full of hunters.
The unicorn replied thanking him for saving him, but the chain that tied his hind legs got in the way and he couldn't get up properly. Neju, who was far away from the whining unicorn, carefully opened her mouth.
"Will Neju release it?"
The unicorn raised its head without licking its chained hind legs. Her massive beast was clear, but it was strange to see Neju timidly wiggling her fingers from afar without even coming close to her.
「Can you solve it?」
"Well then! Will you release me?"
"Yes! please!"
Estio, who was able to control his abilities after visiting the Turke Desert Temple, adjusted the range so that the entire party could hear the unicorn's voice. So Neju was able to have a conversation with the unicorn without too much trouble.
Neju approached carefully so as not to startle the unicorn lying on the floor, and grabbed the chain. The chains around the unicorn's hind legs creaked, revealing the links. Except for the key holder, all parts were tightly intertwined, so it looked very solid.
Neju grabbed the chain with both hands and applied force as it was.
Pop!
「……?!」
The chain was cut in half as easily as a biscuit. Unknowingly, the unicorn opened her mouth and looked up. The heavy chain that had sealed the hind legs tightly fell to the floor.
Parker, who was preparing dinner just in time, was amazed by the sight of Neju breaking the chain.
"Awesome! Neju-sama, your power is really good."
"I've heard compliments from my mother back in the day."
"Neju-sama's mother said that she was a human, right? Normal humans don't have that kind of power, so she must have been very proud."
The unicorn, who had alternately looked at the two hesitantly with blank eyes, stood up with free legs. When four legs stood on the ground, a little unicorn-like dignity flowed now. The golden mane that spread over the white body shone beautifully in the dark.
"Thank you, Neju! But your mother is human, right?"
"That's right. My mother was only human."
Neju smiled brightly, but Unicorn felt sober and bowed her head.
"... he died. sorry."
"It's okay! I have Estio now."
That meant that Neju treated Estio like a real family member. It looked really good, so the unicorn continued to speak with confidence.
"I was curious, so I asked. Because humans seldom try to mix with other races on an equal footing."
The human race that unicorns know has been hunting and treating even the yeti with the most similar genetics to them as monkeys. In the midst of all this, it was surprising that there was a human mother who had a family with a yeti, gave birth to a child, and truly loved her.
"But isn't that the same for other races?"
Neju tilted her head.
"The cat, Tsuki, and the cactus, Ahur, don't like humans very much. When they lived in Nejudo Mountain, they ate and ate other animals and monsters."
Even in the wild, eating weak meat is considered a law of nature. In fact, Neju's family were hunted down by humans. But Neju only hates the hunters who killed her family, but she doesn't hate humans.
"Neju doesn't think humans are bad."
"I meant something a little different. Well, you have a point."
At least in the world unicorns have seen, humans have been exploiting all creatures that should have coexisted under their feet and exploiting them at will. The unicorn agreed with the weak and strong diet, but thought that the world needed the tolerance that an intelligent being should give regardless of the presence or absence of power. As God's representatives, the great dragons who controlled the world maintained tolerance and order, but what about humans?
In the end, didn't the humans reach out to the noble black dragon who showed mercy to the end? The unicorn changed the topic while recalling the past with bitter eyes.
"Ah! Yes. My friend is also human. A member of the same family as you."
"Lydia-sama?"
"Do you know Lydia?"
Parker, who pretended to know without realizing it, averted his gaze.
"Ha, haha. I wonder if I should say I know......"
"I have been living with Lydia since she was ten. She must have met him before!"
"No. We've never met."
"What? have you never met But how do you know?"
At that moment, one piece of information flashed through the unicorn's mind.
'Con, would you like to see a picture? How does this man, Kon see?'
In the picture that Lydia showed her shyly, a man of the Join tribe with emerald-colored hair and purple eyes was drawn.
Resembles!
The unicorn, who had compared the portrait in his head and the group of people in front of him, asked with a hopeful feeling.
"What is your name?"
"Well, this is Bernie Parker."
"also! You were that Bernie!"
The excited unicorn laughed hehehehe.
"I'm Lydia's companion, 'Kon'. I didn't know I would meet my companion's fiancée first!"
Chunma was a special existence to the Joining people. Unicorns and Pegasus that could fly were very rare, and they did not allow anyone to turn their backs because of their picky nature. They were a mystical race that is said to have been born from dragon blood, and the Join people loved the noble and elegant heavenly demons.
So, everyone in the Joining tribe had a dream of riding a unicorn and a Pegasus, but unfortunately, it was very difficult to get them as the dragons died and the heavenly horses almost went extinct at the same time.
The easiest way was to select foals brought by professional breeders and purchase them at a high price. In reality, however, the number of foals born each year was very small. Naturally, the price of the heavenly horses skyrocketed. Parker was also working hard in the guild, dreaming of the day he would meet the wonderful Pegasus.
The unicorns or Pegasus brought into the house were called 'pets'.
"How did you just meet like this? I wonder if your relationship is real. So, is this body a messenger of love between the two? Oh my gosh. It's so romantic!"
Parker muttered to himself, who secretly avoided his gaze with Conn, who was about to die in amazement.
'That girl, her companion's name is a unicorn, so it's not like she named it Corn.'
It was Parker who had decided that if one day he had to bring in Pegasus as a pet and give him a name, he would think through it for at least a month. That's why I was concerned about the seemingly insignificant name of 'Kon' for nothing.
'Oh, it won't. Let's not judge other people's thoughts.'
After all, it was someone else's angel, nothing to worry about. Parker thought so, and suddenly became nervous about the pot on the campfire.
"Ugh! Stew!"
It was Parker who came to see the unicorn waking up while preparing dinner.
I looked at the bonfire in a panic because I was afraid that the chicken stew I had put on the fire would have burned out, but fortunately, there was someone who checked the pot first.
"I thought it was too hot, so I took it out. Do I have to put it back on?"
"No no no! It's the perfect timing, leader! It's really the best!"
Estio almost cried and looked at Parker, who ran like the wind with a puzzled gaze. When I put the pot on the floor and opened the lid, the meat that was cooked just right was exuding a fragrant smell inside the pot along with the clear broth. Estio thanked Parker, who was used to holding a ladle.
"Thank you every time."
"What? It's my job."
Parker was genuinely delighted. He has no fighting skills, but he was proud to join the leader support team and do work to help Estio. Inviting Estio to Vernis village this time was also part of his pride. Parker was already very excited about introducing his boss to the townspeople.
'I want to learn to cook...'
Estio, who received the hot stew bowl, looked at Parker with curious eyes and thought. From Estio's point of view, Parker, who cooked a plausible stew in a deep mountain in an instant, looked almost as mysterious as a wizard.
Estio had never made his own food before. In fact, in the house where he lived, it would have been nice to have touched a piece of moldy bread, let alone edible food. He didn't know what the hell went into the ingredients when he cooked, and he didn't feel the emotion of 'warm' or 'fragrant' when looking at the food. What was given to Estio was always a lump of dough that was cold or hard like a stone.
So, the most surprising thing after joining the guild was the food culture.
Just as Parker respects Estio, Estio also considers Parker to be of the greatest help.
"Kon, would you like some chicken stew too?"
"I'm done. Sunlight is the staple. I don't like it because it makes my stomach bloated when I eat other things."
Kon, who had walked in many ways near the bonfire with an elegant gait, gently knelt down next to Estio. Then Neju opened her red eyes and asked.
"Koo-woong? Eat the light?"
"Personally, I like the sun shining through the clouds the day after it rains. It smells like rain and it smells fragrant."
Even Parker, who had some knowledge about the habits of the heavenly demons, was astonished.
"Pegasus was taught that moonlight was his staple. That was all true."
"Have you never met a companion horse as a joiner?"
"Yes, because the village is not wealthy. Ahaha."
The villagers of Verni got together to plant fruit trees and raise livestock. It was only natural that the opportunity to earn a lot of money did not come because it did not go down the mountain very well. Rarely, young people like Parker who dreamed of city life often made money, but could not afford to raise a heavenly horse.
"worried. Will our Lydia be able to adapt well? I can't do shepherding or field work."
Conn took a deep breath. Cohn's companion, In contrast to Parker, who raised four of his younger brothers and did all the housework, was a well-bred young girl.
"After all, money isn't everything. Live only happily."
"Hey, I'm sorry."
Parker said with a spoon to Conn, who was smiling warmly.
"I have no intention of getting married yet."
