Estio Volume 7
- Episode 5
"Parker, I don't know what cowardice means to say that scary things are scary."
"Jeon......."
Parker hesitated, then spoke frankly.
"I don't want him to get hurt."
He knew right away that the guild leader, Estio, was not human. Now, if you look at him with fearful eyes, what is the difference between him and the people who threw stones as a monster? Parker did not want to do the same to Estio, who had already been subjected to a lot of violence.
"I was really happy when I joined the leader support team. I'm weak, so I won't be of much help in combat, but I wanted to help the leader in a way that I could."
Parker laughed bitterly again.
"But in the end, I'm afraid of his power. If I'm around like this, it'll just be troublesome, right?"
"Ugh."
"I keep thinking that I might have to leave the team."
Lydia, who had been listening to his story, had a puzzled expression on her face. Parker was weeping a little as he spoke. Lydia, who had never tried to soothe a crying man, cautiously called out to him.
"Me, Parker?"
"Yes Yes."
"Since I heard the porridge..."
A hoarse voice continued.
"I think Parker really likes him."
'that's right. As much as I thought I wanted to follow for the first time.'
For Parker, Estio was a good person. He was a benevolent boss who saved his life in times of crisis, granted the favor of a young child who had lost his father, and treated equally valuable animals or plants, nobility or royalty. So he wanted to follow. I didn't just wear guild clothes for work, but I wanted to help the leader Estio do the work.
"Isn't it natural to want to be with good people? Everyone."
Parker, who had been silently listening to Lydia's laughing voice, was hot and awake. Then he grabbed the crossbody bag that was on her shoulder and gripped it tightly.
"Thank you, Lydia-sama. I'll have to go too."
nodded.
Although Lydia was blind, Parker bowed to her with sincerity. The green-haired girl smiled warmly.
"Yes."
As Parker raised his head, a bright smile appeared on his face again as usual.
Druck!
Parker immediately opened the window. Since they are winged joiners, they could fly right into the sky through the window. Just as he stepped on the window sill and was about to take off, he barely stopped and looked back.
"Ah, there."
"Yes?"
"Lydia-sama, can I send you a letter...?"
Lydia's cheeks were a little warm as she heard the shy voice.
"......Yes!"
Upon hearing the answer, Parker flew away without any regrets. White feathers fluttered and fluttered along the spot where he left.
The road to Elia following the night sky where even the sunset had disappeared was very dark, but Parker had already memorized the road several times, so he was able to find it without a guide.
When Parker arrived in Elia, much of the chaos that had enveloped the island had passed. Thanks to the cooperation of the Joining tribes who knew the situation and rolled up their arms, all the fiercely burning fires were extinguished, and the lively atmosphere seemed quite lively.
Even after arriving at Elia, Parker, who was constantly flapping his wings and looking around, found a familiar face and raised his voice to call him.
"Mr. Mok!"
"Huh? Isn't it the first of the village chief Bernie's? The village chief went to look out for the wounded."
"No. Other than my father, do you know where the leader has gone?"
"Ah, the co-worker you brought to the village? I saw you go towards the central pond earlier. For some reason, the tricky angels didn't block the way he went."
A colleague named Mokra, who was cleaning up a broken tree with a middle-aged group of joiners, smiled brightly and added the story.
"If we tried to enter, they would be hit with horns, so we didn't check the inside. They said Ignis was a guild leader, but he has a special ability to possess heavenly demons..."
"Thank you, Mok! Arendall!"
Parker quickly flapped his wings before the conversation got longer.
"Huh? You can't just go in! Dick unicorns here are upset!"
Parker gently ignored the complaints of the other joiners. He flew away into the forest so quickly that no one caught him.
As he flew away from such huge mushroom trees and long vines, Parker began to question it.
'Yes? Aren't you going to stop me?'
I heard that the heavenly demons were blocking the way to the pond, but the road ahead was empty. The last time I visited the pond with S.T.O, the boundaries were tight, but the atmosphere was quite different back then. It was fortunate that Parker could easily visit Estio if he did not block it, but something was suspicious. In the strange silence where not even a single cry of grasshoppers could be heard, Parker, who was working hard through the grass, finally saw the heavenly demons.
'Central Pond!'
Unicorns and Pegasus were all gathered by the pond. Only then did Parker notice that they were so enthralled by the pond that they couldn't even stand guard, and landed cautiously on the bottom.
Purneung.
Puruk.
The horses gathered in the pond showed strange gestures, such as snorting or rolling their front paws, as if they were very excited about something.
'What the hell is going on?'
Unable to contain his curiosity, Parker's eyes widened as he scrambled between the horses and approached the pond.
The moon rises even in the dark night. In the middle of a clear pond that fluttered like darkness dancing, there was a figure that gently wobbled in the moonlight. At first, I thought it was just a black pebble. There, a beautiful black mane spread along the first straight neck, and a pair of wings larger than my body grew over the small body.
blink, blink.
The round, small eyes filled with a hazy light and flickered. A newborn foal with wings flew down gently over the pond. Mysteriously, the young Pegasus stood on the surface of the water without falling into the water. Then she cried in a soft voice. At the crying child, other heavenly demons responded by shrugging their necks together. Then the little pony staggered across the water and held it in the arms of the grown-up Pegasus.
"Ahh."
Pegasus Elder Kirin, who was watching the whole process, let out a long sigh. The long-awaited dream has finally come true. In the future, Pegasus will continue to be reborn as his legacy will not end. Through the full moonlight, the sacred spring water, and the cobblestone containing the magical power of the one and only Black Dragon in the world.
"thank you. Thank you so much, Lord......」
Parker, a member of the Joining tribe, did not hear Kirin's voice, but he also opened his mouth when he saw this scene.
"Oh my God. Did I witness the birth of Pegasus right now?"
"Hehehe. Come on, Parker!"
Neju, with white hair, was approaching Parker, who was full of surprise and wonder.
"Why are you so late? Have you lost your way?"
"Oh, yes. That's right. Haha."
"It's not a winding alleyway, and in the open sky, have you lost your knowledge of where there is another road? My sense of direction is lacking."
The cactus Ahur, who was in Neju's arms, also pretended to know Parker, even if harshly. Parker, who knew that it was a tik tok, but knew that it was Ahur's own expression of gladness, smiled awkwardly.
"By the way, where is the leader?"
"Shh. I am sleeping."
As he watched the cactus taking the action he was talking about the most and telling him to come and be quiet, Parker meekly shut his mouth.
"This is it."
Neju dragged Parker and took him to where Estio was. As Ahur had previously said, Estio was sleeping on the black tiger. Heukho, who was lying on his stomach with his chin on his front paws, heard the sound of his footsteps and ferociously exposed his teeth.
"Hey."
Tsuki, who found the cowardly Jo-in clan, who had been drowsy, shook his chin again with an expression of 'what was it, was it you?'
"Uh, Tsuki-sama's body doesn't get used to me every time I look at it."
"That's right. It's really cute, isn't it?"
"It doesn't mean that..."
If it were an enemy, Parker secretly swallowed his words as he looked down at Tsuki, who hid the terrifying claws he had stood up for at any moment between the soft soles of his feet. And looking at Estio again, he admired it.
"Wow, there are already so many baby Pegasus."
Besides the Pegasus, who was born a while ago, there were already five more black ponies wiggling by Estio's side. The young Pegasus surrounded him almost instinctively and slept with him. In front of Parker, the newborn Pegasus also stumbled into the ranks.
Purung.
The black ponies with their heads digging into Estio's knees, arms, and sides were roaring with satisfaction. Parker, after staring at it for a moment, carefully sat down on a wooden pole a little further away from them. Neju also put her buttocks next to Parker and grinned.
"Myam. Are you curious?"
"Yes, I think I want to ask the leader how this happened right now."
"...If you wake me up, I'll kill you."
Tsuki, who narrowed his eyes, gave a fierce warning, but as Estio fell asleep, no one could hear his voice. Parker glanced at the tiger's slowly waving tail with an uncomfortable feeling, lowering his voice a little more.
"You must have been overworked again, didn't you?"
"Byeung."
Neju crossed her fingers sullenly.
"Even though I knew it was overkill, I couldn't stop it. Estio really wanted to help Elia."
Estio succeeded in dyeing half of Hwangryong's pebbles black. However, he did not know how to fully control his abilities, so he overuses his abilities beyond the limit he can handle. In return, he was in a state of deep sleep that no one knew who was carrying him.
"Yeah, it looks comfortable."
There was no shadow on the face of Estio, who was asleep among the young foals and the huge black tiger. With his eyes closed comfortably, he looked just like his nineteen-year-old peers.
"Wow. I really thought what would happen during the day."
A sigh of relief escaped later. Parker stroked his feeble chest, which was still flapping.
"What a relief."
"What?"
Parker muttered to himself, 'Because the leader continues to remain as Ignis guild leader'. Then, he looked at the white-haired monkey, who was constantly tilting his head, and smiled mischievously.
