Estio Volume 7
- Episode 4
"...a pond?"
Estio made a slightly surprised face. It was embarrassing because I knew how much the angels value this pond.
As Estio approached the pond, Kondo walked along and answered.
"Yes. This is a place where new children are born, so nothing else should be mixed in. However, some hunters found the pond and it was very dirty."
The central pond was the most sacred place in Elia and at the same time the most vulnerable heart. According to the description, a very dangerous situation had unfolded. Fortunately, unlike Korn's story, the clear and transparent water was flowing now.
"It's thanks to the flowers I got as a gift from Cactus-sama!"
Kon, with his black mane hanging over his white body, twinkled and looked at Ahur hanging from Neju's head. Following Khon, the eyes of the other heavenly demons were all focused on Ahur.
"Wow? cocoon? Ahur, I don't know about things like that."
Ahur, who was burdened by the pouring of eyes, pretended to be an ordinary cactus and flirted excessively, but no one was deceived.
"The blue flower purifies the pond!"
"'purification'?"
As it was a rather unfamiliar ability, Estio also looked at Ahur with a curious gaze. Ahur crossed the two in an X to signify that he did not know. Instead, the excited Kon jumped up from his seat and murmured.
"Yes! The dirty energy has gone away and the road is now clean. That's a really great divinity. Ahur-nim is also a guardian, right?"
「Wow, did the blue flower have divine power? I really didn't know. Red flowers heal wounds."
"Are there any flowers that heal wounds?"
「Uh, yes. You have to drink Estio's blood to make the red flowers bloom. I don't eat other people's blood. Do you all donate blood and gamble with flowers?"
Estio, who was looking at Ahur, who was excited at the same time, chatting with Khon, sighed a little. It seemed that the crisis of Elia's pond being polluted somehow had been resolved without him knowing. It wasn't Ahur's intention, but it was thanks to the blue flowers that grew from the cactus that drank the pond water.
'thank God.'
At the same time as the relief, the muscles of the body, which had been hardened by tension, were released. Estio squatted down on his seat. It felt like my breathing had been suffocated now. A gentle breeze blew and cooled my hair, which had been hot all the time. He sat blankly in front of the blue-grained pond.
But suddenly, the pebbles under the pond caught my eye.
'Now that I see this.'
Estio lightly dipped his hand in the pond.
visitation.
The spring water gushing out with divine energy every day was very cold. The pond was shallower than it looked, so when I stretched out my arms a little more, I caught a small pebble in my hand.
'Magic Stone created by Shuhanan, the Yellow Dragon...'
A golden pebble, brighter than gold, gleamed dazzlingly on the palm of his hand. Countless stones, like those caught in his hand, were spread under the pond.
Estio remembered Kirin's story that unicorns were born from this stone containing the magic of the Yellow Dragon. And also about Pegasus, who is no longer born because there is no place to receive magical power. Unlike unicorns, which can be reborn as long as the spring water is maintained, Pegasus was naturally waiting for extinction. I also remembered that Elder Kirin's black eyes looked a little lonely when he said that.
'Can I do it?'
The hand that was holding the stone gently gained strength. Estio remembered the last time he dyed the scales of the yellow dragon black at the desert temple. At that time, he was trying to drive away the curse of the Yellow Dragon by blowing his own power, but I thought that it might be possible to transform these pebbles with a similar principle now.
"Estio?"
A black tiger that came close crounged and rumbled.
"What are you going to do, please?"
He didn't answer, but the pair of slender Odd Eyes already noticed what Estio was trying to do, and showed signs of concern. Tsuki firmly stopped him.
"no. You were overworked today."
"...I don't know if I can do it."
Estio held the pebble tightly in his hand.
"I'd like to try it."
"Well, at least do it after taking a break."
"Fine."
"I really can't hear you!"
It was like persuading him against an iron wall, so full of frustration, Tsuki scratched the floor angrily. Only wild flowers pawed for by the giant tiger's paws were pulled out. An average person would be scared, but Estio didn't blink an eye.
"Thank you, Tsuki."
"...Heh, if I die from a vase, it's all your fault."
Black Tiger grumbled, turning his head sharply. Even after plucking the grass, his anger still did not go away, and he smacked the floor with his tail. Estio, who smiled a little at such Tsuki, turned to the pond and took a deep breath.
'Let's do it.'
wow.
As soon as I made up my mind to do so, my strength was activated as if I had waited. It was an induction technique that did not target the mind of the living, but the inanimate object.
If Estio had properly learned from the grown-ups of his clan with the same power, he would have been able to use his power through convenient magic tricks, but such an opportunity did not come all the time he was growing up, so careful control was impossible. A clumsy and haphazard flow of black air flowed around it. Startled by the hazy fog that suddenly began to surround them, the angels jumped out of the water.
By the time Ahur and Kon, the pony, who had been chatting with excitement, sensed an abnormality, the whole pond was finally dyed black.
* * *
At the same time, Parker was locked in the room with a depressed face. It was after he had already informed the people of the village of Verni of what had happened on the Sky Island Elia. Upon hearing the news, the residents voluntarily soared to the sky saying that they would take care of the injured and frightened angels. The road to Elia was known by the village chief, Bernie Rosé. Parker glanced at the white feathers fluttering out of the window, and fell gloomy on the window sill.
'Why am I such a coward?'
It was advice with no answer. His easily startled and terrified personality was a trait he had since he was a snoring baby.
But Parker didn't run away just because he was startled and frightened. She was so curious and scared, but she quickly got used to it. Parker has always been a challenger. That was the reason why he was able to join the guild and work as a delivery man while wandering around dangerous remote areas.
"Ha, but I was really surprised."
Parker murmured as he looked up at the reddish sunset sky. The night in the Wind Mountains comes quickly. I grew up watching the sunset all the time when I was young, but it felt eerie, like the process of a dying and bleeding day being swallowed up by the night. Soon darkness will come to the village. Parker grabbed the window sill tightly.
'It struck me so suddenly that the leader was really different from me.'
What Parker saw in Burning Elia were his usual dark blue eyes. But the moment she faced the rage she crouched inside her, she felt so great that it took her breath away. And then Parker knew. His guild leader was not just a 'human with special abilities different from others'.
It was different from the fact that Estio was not a human being until now, only in his head. He felt a sense of indescribable awe and wanted to run away from the spot. But even as he felt fear, Parker was engulfed in an even greater shock, unable to move his body.
'The leader must have read it.'
Estio, seeing his trembling colleague, took a step back. The expression on his face at that time was obviously mixed with embarrassment.
'That I'm afraid of sleeping!'
At best, when the leader subdued the hunters who invaded Elia and gave them options, Parker remembered himself, who was pathetic and terrified, and ruffled his hair.
"You idiot. Fuck you. Why are you scared there, scared? Really, why do you live, a bastard like me."
"Oh my God, you are too harsh on yourself."
"......! Lou, Lydia-sama. Since when have you been there?"
At some point, a green-blonde Jo-in, who entered his room, stood holding the doorknob. Unlike the other villagers, who cannot see her eyes, she could not fly to Elia even after hearing the news. So, the only people left in the village now were the young children, Lydia, and Parker, who had grown up and was not good at flying.
Parker blushed when he realized that he was so distracted that he couldn't even hear the door open. Then Lydia answered in her quivering voice.
"I just came in. Nerd, since I was pecking."
"There is no need to mention it in such detail."
"Oh, didn't you ask?"
"Yeah, I asked..."
Parker shrugged. The white wings that drooped behind his back felt especially heavy today.
"Well, you're not wrong anyway. Haha."
It was a feeling of wanting to pour even more severe swearing, not just being stupid or pecking. Still, Parker, unable to tremble in front of the guests, laughed without energy.
Lydia tilted her head slightly.
"Aren't you going back, Parker, Elia?"
Rumbling, Parker visibly shakes enough to bang his head in the half-open window.
"Ouch."
"it's okay?"
"Ugh. It's okay..."
Parker, who was about to answer involuntarily, stopped and shut his mouth. Then he shook his head.
"...I don't. I think I'm going crazy."
"It hurts a lot?"
"No, it's frustrating. Actually, I'm not the one who's sick."
I had a headache with my head banged in the window. Parker continued muttering as if rubbing his head.
"This time in Elia, I hurt the leader."
"Parker? That's surprising. I didn't think he would be rude to others."
"I thought it was scary without my knowledge. I wanted to run away. It was a rude thought to come up with in front of someone who reads minds.
Lydia, unaware of the situation, still had a mysterious expression on her face, but Parker continued the conversation.
"I have to go back soon, but I'm so sorry to see him again. What if I see him again and think he's scary?"
Parker lowered his hand from his head as the pain slowly subsided.
"Ahaha. That's why I was cowardly hiding. Now that scary things are getting better, I'll have to leave soon."
"You don't seem to be getting much better."
I laughed cheerfully for nothing, but it didn't work for Lydia. Parker, embarrassed, asked with a smile on his face.
"Uh, is it that hot?"
"Even if you forcefully smile, I can't see Parker-sama's expression."
Lydia raised her unfocused azure eyes to capture Parker's direction. There was no reflected image, but he was able to pinpoint exactly what the other person was feeling.
