Estio Volume 7

 

- Episode 19

 

"Guild management is managed by a trustworthy deputy master. I don't make the mistake of abandoning my duties blindly like Hei Gong."

 

"Hey, is that right? I heard that the guild master never shows his face in public because he is so negligent."

 

"Heh heh. How can a guild member who is not a nobleman be an official statue? It is enough if only the name exists as a representative. A high-ranking nobleman says that such a position is really important, right?"

 

Mubin and Kai exchanged bony conversations with each other with smiles on their faces. Neju, who was anxious because she was the same as usual, gradually let go of her heart.

 

"Anyway, the Pope said he would arrange a seat, so let's wait."

 

"I hope the waiting time ends soon."

 

"Then I will be sleeping. Be sure to wake me up when I go! Definitely!"

 

Under the cloudy sky, it was snowing heavily in the Pontifical Elysium. Like the seeds of spring flowers that seep into the ground and wait for the snow to stop, their waiting has begun.

 

29 Unknown story

 

some time after that.

 

After ten days of living in a room to recover his body, Estio was finally able to return to his original form. Only after returning to his human form, with his dark hair and dark blue eyes, did Estio release the tension he did not express.

 

'thank God.'

 

Estio, who was worried that he might not be able to return to his original form, put his familiar arm around the hem of his robe and sighed in relief. It was a guild uniform to try on in ten days.

 

Hwangryong Shuhanan called the shape of a small dragon covered with black scales a 'body', but from Estio's point of view, the human form was much more comfortable now.

 

"I'll be back."

 

"Can not be done."

 

During that time, Shuhanan visited Estio every day and took care of her. But the horse was the nurse, and in reality, we spent more time just sitting in the room facing each other and staring at each other ambiguously. Neither of them talk much, but the more they are together, the more awkward it becomes.

 

Shuhanan used to find precious fruits that did not come out in winter and other healthful items from somewhere and bring them home. Not even a person who had just ascended to the papacy was very laid-back. It has become a daily routine for Shuhanan to come in the morning and watch Estio until she falls asleep and quietly leaves the room.

 

As they got together, Estio learned that Shuhanan's cold-looking golden eyes just didn't know how to express their affection. Shuhanan had been mad for so long and had lived in despair, forgetting his emotions other than sadness and anger. Hwangryong, who had been like that, had to find it difficult to express his affection for his child who suddenly appeared.

 

On the other hand, Estio became confused because he did not know how to accept the attention Shuhanan was pouring so hard and burdensome. Until he came to the Vatican, he thought he might fight him, but only a one-sided attack of affection awaited him. Shu Hanan was fussy about where Estio would hurt if he even wrinkled his eyes, and he even wondered why he had nothing to show if he didn't show any pain at all. It was a type of opponent that Estio had never experienced in his life.

 

Fortunately, Shuhanan no longer contemplated suicide or spoke of revenge.

 

"Why do you keep talking about going back?"

 

Although Estio returned his human form as he wished, Shuhanan had no intention of returning him to the guild.

 

"Your colleagues are waiting."

 

"Human beings are beings who never know when they will betray, Estio."

 

Shuhanan gave up revenge to protect his children, but he still couldn't hide his dislike for humans. He said his companions around Estio weren't necessarily human, but Shuhanan didn't believe them either. For Shuhanan, all those around Estio, whether human or animal, annoyed him. It was because he considered them to be unreliable if they were not of his own people.

 

Estio, who was somehow accustomed to such an outgoing stubbornness, exclaimed inwardly, "Oh."

 

'It's like watching Yeon-yeon-rang.'

 

Shuhanan's appearance now resembles Yeon Yeon-rang, who insisted that he could not be trusted unless he was a human being who could communicate. So Estio was able to understand and accept to some extent even if Shuhanan showed disgust towards humans. The reactions of those who were seriously wounded were generally violent and extreme. In the end, Shuhanan was just a person who was hurt and hurt by someone.

 

"The place you should return to is not the guild."

 

Shuhanan lit a lemon-scented candle with his fingers. It was simple magic. I thought I could smell the burning heart for a moment, and soon the room was filled with the sweet scent of lemon. It was a pleasant scent that helped me to listen to what I was saying more comfortably.

 

Shuhanan made a proposal to Estio after lighting incense.

 

"Baby, let's go back to the dragon realm with me."

 

"...Dragon realm?"

 

"Yes. It is a beautiful star where all the dragon races live together. Until recently, it was impossible to move on my own strength, but now I can open the door to a dimension."

 

Thanks to Loaren's Dragon Heart that Estio gave to her, Shuhanan was able to heal her body and mind. Now, in a state where he has completely regained his old powers, he is able to move across the night sky to the dragon realm, allowing him to perform a tremendous dimensional transfer technique.

 

"Estio, don't give up on anything dangerous because you want it."

 

Shuhanan didn't want to surrender himself to futile anger any longer. He would have destroyed and cursed him until the moment he died, but now he can't. Because Estio came to him. Shuhanan chose to protect her child instead of revenge.

 

"Why don't we go to the world where our people live together?"

 

The voice that suggested that was so warm that even Estio was instantly smitten. Possibilities arose in problems he thought he had no options for. But Estio soon calmly shook his head.

 

"No. I want to stay here."

 

"you too......."

 

His golden eyes, stained with pain, trembled anxiously.

 

"Are you going to leave me?"

 

'Like Loaren.'

 

Estio read that he was projecting a loaren from him. Loa Ren also refused the invitation to go with her to the dragon realm. Hwang Ryong's sorrow for losing his companion, who broke his promise to share his life and death with him and went on a journey of no return, used to overflow in his heart like a river that just crossed a dam.

 

"What the hell should I do!"

 

Shuhanan opened her mouth as if longing for an answer, but immediately choked her throat.

 

"How can I not leave? I can do anything. I can destroy the world or I can bless you.

 

Even with almost god-like powers, Hwangryong looked miserable. All he wanted was a very ordinary happiness, but nothing was allowed to Shuhanan. As Shu Hanan, who had lost hope once, he could not let Estio go.

 

"Meantime."

 

Shuhanan, who had been swept away by the fluctuating emotions, heard a calm voice and managed to calm down. When he lowered his head, Estio was staring straight at him.

 

"I've always thought of myself asking for too much."

 

"What nonsense!"

 

A child with a noble black color like Loaren shouldn't have said it. That child deserves more. Shu Hanan was full of heart to listen to anything Estio really wanted. But before Shuhanan reacted further, Estio spoke firmly.

 

"Every moment something I treasured disappeared, and never came back one day, it felt like it was my fault."

 

"why......."

 

"I wonder if I'm being punished for wanting something I shouldn't have wanted. If that's the case, I've prayed that I won't be greedy anymore, so don't take me away."

 

"Why would you even think like that!"

 

Hearing the story, Shuhanan felt like her heart was being ripped apart. The most unbearable thing was the expression on Estio's face as he said these words now. It was then that Shuhanan realized that Estio was not the only one who had abandoned his expectations.

 

The child who should be loved more than anyone else was abandoned. From the moment you open your eyes to being born into this world.

 

"Yeah, I didn't know for a long time why I thought that."

 

Now Shuhanan was confused and nothing came out.

 

"Then I found out recently."

 

'You found out? what?'

 

As Shuhanan listened attentively, Estio continued the conversation step by step.

 

"Now I know what I can do and what I need to do. There are people who have told me that."

 

"You mean your colleagues?"

 

"I want to go back to them. Shu......"

 

After hesitating for a while, Estio changed the title that was meant to be 'Shuhanan' with difficulty.

 

"......father."

 

Finally, Hwangryong's hardened expression collapsed. Whether he was feeling joy or sadness, regret or self-blame, Estio was also hard to read. No, it was all mixed together like a storm. There were so many mixed emotions that I didn't know how to react.

 

Shuhanan hurriedly turned around to hide the flowing tears.

 

"Follow me."

 

"?"

 

When asked to follow at once, Estio put on a puzzled expression. Shuhanan opened the door first and said.

 

"Let me meet you, comrades."

 

Estio asked Shuhanan on the back with surprised eyes.

 

"Are they here?"

 

"Yes. He said that he must meet you."

 

He was so stubborn that no one kneeled down even when he made eye contact with Hwangryong. The dragon's eyes are loaded with intangible energy, stimulating their survival instincts. At a weak point, it ends up feeling a little creepy, but if the dragon is determined to subdue the opponent and spews Fear, there are cases in which the mind collapses and faints. The fact that the guests who came to see Estio endured it meant that they had a great will.

 

"It's nice to meet a good relationship, Estio."

 

Shuhanan highly appreciated their will. When his colleagues were recognized, Estio felt overwhelmed and nodded his head.

 

"But don't worry. Even if you're smiling with a kind face right now, you never know when you'll be throwing a spider's web under the water."

 

"......"

 

"Of course, those who became guardians don't have to worry about that."

 

Even if I said they weren't like that, I wouldn't listen to them, so Estio silently followed Shuhanan.
