Estio Volume 7

 

- Episode 17

 

Shuhanan's face as he said those words looked sad. In the end, Estio remembered that Loaren could not keep his promise to Shuhanan. Maybe she didn't know that the promise to Shu Hanan was just a fleeting and painful echo.

 

nod.

 

It was a small movement, but in Shuhanan's view, it was a sufficient response. Shuhanan took his hand off Estio's head and turned around.

 

"Then get some rest. When your body recovers, I'll teach you how to use magic."

 

"I don't know about magic."

 

"I don't know, so I'll tell you."

 

"Why are you doing that?"

 

Estio never offered to learn magic. He, of course, would be useful in many ways if he learned it, but since he had never had any contact with magic, he doubted that he could even learn it properly. Moreover, Estio did not understand any of Shuhanan's sudden favor.

 

"Magic is a technology created by our people. Just as humans create language and pass it on to their descendants, you too have the right to know our magic."

 

Shuhanan, with arms folded, looked down at Estio for a moment, as if telling a very obvious fact. Then he spoke in a slightly subdued voice.

 

"It's also the power we need to put an end to this hateful world."

 

"no."

 

But Estio flatly refused.

 

"You can't learn it for that purpose."

 

Upon hearing the answer, Shuhanan's expression changed. She had a face that looked both angry and embarrassed.

 

"This is the world that took away your mother. Humans are the race that brutally betrayed the trust that Loaren gave them and tried to take that power. Isn't it resentful?"

 

In front of the voice of despair, Estio lowered his eyes.

 

"But I don't want to resent those who have nothing to do with it."

 

"It has nothing to do with it!"

 

Shuhanan couldn't contain his anger and waved his hand in the air.

 

"No matter how many years have passed, the people who have inherited the sins of our ancestors are the ones who ultimately rule this land. They are the descendants of the sons and daughters of sinners."

 

Loaren died, and the humans who killed her laughed and chatted without any guilt. They held festivals and established a kingdom. The children they gave birth to, and the children of their children, continued to develop day by day while preserving the tribe. Now people were living in pursuit of peace without even knowing what they had done.

 

Shuhanan could hardly tolerate that peace.

 

'I will. He suffered much more from the loss of a companion than me, who lived without knowing anything.'

 

Estio also sympathized with Shuhanan's words to some extent. Just imagining what Shuhanan must have been thinking while watching the world change day by day makes my heart feel frustrated. Estio and Shuhanan had different positions. So Estio could not force Shuhanan the peace he had lived.

 

"Then you see..."

 

Similarly, Shuhanan, who felt a difference of opinion and was silent, suddenly focused on a different part.

 

"Where did you grow up? Alone? Looking at the recent guild life, it seems that you weren't alone at all. Were there people who took care of you?"

 

Estio became a honey-eaten dumb again. Talking about his hometown of Selvia was one of the topics he never wanted to bring up in front of Shu Hanan.

 

"Estio."

 

Shuhanan, who had been staring at Estio, who was avoiding his gaze, let out another long sigh.

 

"Yeah, it's okay if you don't want to talk."

 

Surprisingly, I gave up quickly. As he turned around and left the room, Estio hurriedly called for Shuhanan on the back of his head.

 

"Shuhanan."

 

Standing tall, Shuhanan's footsteps stopped when his name was called. Estio continued to speak because he meant to listen.

 

"I want to return to the guild."

 

"You mean 'return'?"

 

He couldn't be sure because he could only see his back, but Estio thought that somehow he had burst out laughing. Shu Hanan, with long blonde hair hanging along his neckline, stood still for a while as if to subdue his emotions, then slowly moved away.

 

"We'll talk about that later. For now, let's focus on recovering health."

 

Shuhanan wanted to open the door as it is, but without going out, he glanced around at Estio.

 

"Yeah, and."

 

The golden eyes that harbored some dissatisfaction narrowed uncomfortably.

 

"Don't call me by name."

 

"Ah… I'm sorry."

 

"You should call me 'Daddy', baby."

 

An opinion different from what was expected came back. After throwing those words out, Shuhanan closed the door and left openly.

 

Estio, who had been left alone on the bed, made a bewildered expression belatedly.

 

「……?」

 

Hwangryong Shuhanan, who has recovered his sanity, seems to have a slightly different personality from what Estio had vaguely imagined.

 

* * *

 

"Shuhanan-sama."

 

Holy Knight Commander Ruby F. Saint looked at the owner who was carefully slicing the apples and had a sad expression on his face. It was a rabbit-shaped apple with a red skin and even the ears. The new pope, Shuhanan, who suddenly decided to cut the fruit by hand because he had never used it in his lifetime, was taking up the challenge of slicing apples with a very serious attitude.

 

Shuhanan, who was looking at the apology with a dissatisfied expression on his face, suddenly asked Ruby for his opinion.

 

"Ruberry, do you think a child will like this enough?"

 

"Yes? What is that."

 

"It's a rabbit."

 

"Rabbit... That, well."

 

It was a joy to see his golden eyes filled with anger and pain filled with hope, but he didn't get used to it every time he looked at him. To the owner who did not listen to calls even with his back, Ruby delivered the business once again.

 

"Holy Pope, the guests have come."

 

"Tell me I can't see you now."

 

It was a knife-like rejection without even thinking about it. Ruby, who had already expected such a reaction, scratched her head with an embarrassed face.

 

Shuhanan was a divine being who took the new papal seat at the start of the new year. After the holy baptism was successfully completed, the closed portal was reopened, so there were already several guests who had come to the Elysium to celebrate the papal enthronement but were rejected.

 

This time, Ruby's complexion, who had been in a position to say no because of just one fruit, was dyed gloomy. Still, Shuhanan, who could not easily turn away and noticed the commander of the knights standing as if nailed to his seat, asked, letting go of the transition.

 

"...are they looking for that child?"

 

"Yes, I have to meet the guild leader, so I just stand in front of the door and don't go back. I said I would never go back until I met him."

 

This guest was not intended to meet the Pope.

 

'Estio's colleague.'

 

The true identity of the uninvited guests who came all the way to Elysium and were stubborn were the colleagues who came to Estio. Including the Ignis Guild Master, there was a mixture of heterogeneous races and imperial dukes, so they couldn't forcefully expel them.

 

Shuhanan's eyes narrowed.

 

"Bring me."

 

"Shuhanan-sama! Are you okay?"

 

"Yeah. I'd love to hear what they have to say."

 

When he couldn't control his madness, Shuhanan used to kill every human being that he could see. He moved his hand first before he could understand with his head that it was worth using to his opponent or that his rank was high or low. The human odor was disgustingly disgusting, and Shuhanan's reason couldn't stand it enough to put up with him. For Shuhanan, meeting humans was like torture. This was what Lou Berry was concerned about, but now Shu Hanan was ready to welcome his guests in comfort.

 

While the knight commander retreated with an anxious expression, Shuhanan sat down on a chair and rested his chin quietly.

 

'I want to return to the guild.'

 

The words of the child yesterday ran through my mind. When she first heard those words, she was a bit grumpy.

 

'...I've met you before!'

 

Shuhanan did not know how much he regretted after learning of the child's existence belatedly. Had he known earlier, he would have been dedicated to finding the child, rather than becoming a pope! She felt resentful towards Loa Ren for not letting her know about it.

 

So it was late, but I thought I would do my best to do my best for the child I met now. The child was still young. It's been 20 years this year, and since I've been mixed with human society, it seems that I pretended to be an adult to try to live, but to Shuhanan, it was a baby who had just woken up. In fact, the figure of the child who returned to the main body was so small and soft that it felt like it would fly away when the wind blows.

 

The boy said before he even tried fathering the little one. He said he would go back to where he was.

 

'Where are you going?'

 

Thinking back, I cried again. An indifferent voice, who was really not expecting anything, pounded on Shuhanan's outfit. Shu Hanan, who was excited by himself, was defenseless at the words of his child and tattered like a person who had been beaten. Now, Shuhanan was busy in many ways.

 

'Ha, yes. colleague Let me see who I am.'

 

Shuhanan sharpened his teeth. Like Loaren, if anyone had a plan to use Estio, I would cut their necks off at the meeting today.

 

smart.

 

At that moment, a knock was heard and Shuhanan woke up from his thoughts.

 

"Listen."

 

After the permit was granted, the door opened and people entered. It was not a formal meeting held in the prayer room or chapel, but a resting place where the Pope stayed, so there was no need for special procedures.

 

Among those who opened the door, the first person that caught Shuhanan's eyes was a swordsman with black hair.

 

"Be courteous to the Holy Father."

 

"Are you the new Pope?"

 

"No, courtesy..."

 

Ruby tried to stop Mubin, who was striding towards Shuhanan. However, Shuhanan waved his hand and pulled the Holy Knights back. Thanks to this, Mubin, who met Shuhanan just a short distance from each other without any interruption, bowed his head in an informal way.

 

"This is Mobin R. Heiga. I see you, Holy Father, who has received a divine revelation."

 

Since he had just left the battlefield, he was not dressed very well. He threw off his armor on the way, but he was running so fast that he didn't have time to fix his clothes in his mansion. He was a simple attire that could not be found at all in the manners of a nobleman.

 

'Your eyes are worth looking at.'

 

Although he bowed his head, Shuhanan found the strong will revealed in Mubin's black eyes and put his plan to break his neck withheld. Even Moobin R. Heiga was no ordinary human.

 

"I'm here to find Estio-sama."

 

"Not allowed."
