Estio Volume 7
- Episode 20
The room Shuhanan showed us was on the lower floor of the same building. Surprisingly, they were staying very close to each other and worried. Shu Hanan led him to the front of the room, and then he stepped aside without opening the door. It was an act with the intention of not interfering with the meeting with his colleagues.
Estio nodded in gratitude and knocked on the door.
smart.
The knock was not loud. But, as if waiting, the door clicked open immediately.
"......?"
The door was opened, but Estio was embarrassed because no one was in sight. Just as I was about to ask Shuhanan if this room was right for me, Estio saw a small plant hanging from the doorknob.
"Eh?"
"Ahur."
The cactus, who opened the door by hanging from the doorknob with two branches, found Estio standing in front of him, and he was shocked and hardened. Then he fell into serious anguish.
"What? All of a sudden I see a welcome Am I still dreaming?"
"Not welcome."
"downpour! Is this a lucid dream? If you really meet Estio later, you should be proud of it. But seeing it again even in a dream is really good."
"It's not a dream, it's reality."
Estio reached out to the cactus who was so surprised that he mistook this situation for a dream.
"How have you been, Ahur?"
Ahur, who was hanging from the doorknob, fell to the floor. Estio saw this and was worried that the flowerpot might be broken, but without even asking if he was okay, the cactus fell into his arms.
「Ahh! You're the real Estio!"
Without fear of the thorns that sprouted along the body, the warmth in his arms that he was familiar with and embraced was genuine. Ahur was very excited and started running.
"No, is this real? Oh yeah? true? Where have you been and what have you been doing? Aren't you sick?"
"Yeah, that's fine."
"Is the leader coming?"
While Ahur was being comforted, a group of people with emerald hair stuck out their heads towards the door.
"I'm glad you're safe, Parker."
"Lee......."
Parker's expression gradually turned vague. After waking up, the Jo-in people in pajamas flapped their wings and flew in.
"Leader! Huh."
Parker, who came closer and checked Estio's face, began to cry with peace of mind.
"Do you know how surprised you were that he disappeared like that? When I opened my eyes, I was not at Elysium, but returned to the guild headquarters! The wounds are gone as if they were washed away! Everyone came back fine, but only the leader wasn't there, so I was really cold back then!"
"I'm sorry if I startled you. Calm down."
"You can't be calm, can you?"
After Cactus and Parker, Estio was unable to enter the room and had to stand by the door to sweat.
"...Estio-sama?"
Estio heard the voice full of surprise and turned his head. And when he saw the black-haired prosecutor standing with his bewildered face, he was taken aback.
"How did Moobin get here?"
"Haha! If possible, I wished you would rebuke the Buddhist priest who wasn't there before."
Moobin, who looked closely at the fact that my owner had returned without any injuries, even with an innocent smile, knelt down and bowed his head.
"Thank you for coming back safely, My lord."
"I hope you are finally here."
Kai, standing next to Mubin, also smiled and waved his hand.
"Why don't you just come inside instead?"
Then, those who were delighted with the safe return, realized that Estio was still standing outside the door, and hurriedly sent him into the room.
"Estio-sama, are you really okay?"
Despite his seemingly normal appearance, Moobin had to go through the verification again. Estio noticed that his heart was pierced by the piercing eyes, and that Mubin, the guardian, shared the pain he felt at the time he cut his chest. So, Estio gave him one more time to say that he was ok with his apologies.
"Yeah. It's okay now. More than that......"
The dark blue eyes that were wandering in search of something turned to one side of the room.
"Yes."
Neju was sitting alone in the corner of the room. Even though she thought that she was asleep with her head buried in the wall, the fact that she didn't even move even though she would have been noisy soon touched Estio's heart. Estio cautiously approached Neju's back.
"Yes?"
"Ugh, during that time, Neju-nim really wanted to see Leader-nim a lot."
Seeing this, Parker looked at Neju's back with a puzzled look and said: After Estio disappeared, Neju refused to even eat her food and didn't say anything, leaving her crying. Even if the young white-haired monkey fell, she was well taken care of by Hala Parker and Ahur. Ahur opened her mouth whenever Ahur spoke to her, but that was only for a moment, and Neju was depressed like a wild animal isolated inside a cage.
"I thought the leader would be the most happy when he returned, but it's strange."
Parker shook his head, saying he didn't really understand English. The white-haired monkey crouching in the corner was holding its breath as if it were a stone statue. Estio gently placed his hand on Neju's back. He felt a small, trembling movement under his white, fluffy fur.
"Yes."
It was still silent. However, there was a change in the emotions that passed through his fingertips. Estio asked Neju, who had turned his back, carefully without urging him.
"Are you mad at me?"
"...No."
A mosquito-only reply came back. Estio asked the question again.
"Then do you hate me now?"
"No! It can't be!"
Neju shouted with her head banged against the wall. She had little embarrassment on the faces of her co-workers who were watching her because it was the first violent reaction of her little boy Neju, who was always gentle, to Estio. However, Estio still spoke without changing his expression.
"If you're not angry or hateful, then why don't you look at me?"
There was a loud, sniffling sound. Neju still turned her back and gave her the answer.
"I'm scared."
wow.
On the palm of the hand that touched Neju's back, his honest feelings were transmitted to the sectarian group.
"scared. I think you must have been really sick all this time. I'm very, very scared to see you sick."
Neju was trembling in fear. She had missed her so much and she was sad, but her fear had grown so great that when Estio's voice was heard, she was helpless and hid in her corner.
"I'm so sorry I couldn't help you with anything."
Neju, who had conveyed his thoughts up to that point, barely spoke out loud.
"Now that I don't need Neju, I think Estio is really leaving."
Estio took his hand off Neju's back. The sound of a small sigh made Neju even more frightened and crouched down on her body.
"I'm sorry. But I hate leaving..."
"I'm not leaving."
Upon hearing a firm answer, Neju lifted her head brightly. As she turned around blankly, her eyes met her dark blue eyes, which she had been staring at all along. Estio opened her mouth first before Neju hid back into the corner.
"It was just tolerable, so I endured it. It was such a pain. Why is Neju so scared?"
"It's okay, it's okay."
"It's okay if you don't have to help. This is my greed."
Estio thought that the tears dripping from those red eyes were just like the tears that Loaren shed. She left alone on this terrifying and lonely road that was so sad and sad that she didn't want to part. Estio, who thought of Loa Ren for a moment, reached out and patted Neju on the head.
"I wish I could always be by your side."
"Ugh. Aww!"
The young white-haired monkey had only just begun to cry in peace. He jumped up and hugged Estio and wept bitterly. It was like Estio was buried by Neju because of the big difference in size, but Neju was the one being comforted.
The cactus, who was looking at it warmly, patted the back with a branch and groaned.
"Oh, I wish someone slapped me on the cheek. Bring your spirit back."
"Um? Help me..."
"But if he really did, he would surely die."
Mubin, who was trying to help, quietly lowered his hand.
After crying for a long time as Neju exploded the sadness that Neju had been holding back, the party was able to sit properly together.
"......"
"......"
However, instead of a friendly atmosphere, only ambivalence settled among them. It was because an unexpected guest had entered the room together.
"Hey, heh heh, the Holy Father?"
"Don't worry about it. I won't intervene without notice in the meeting to solve the case."
Parker, who couldn't say, 'You don't notice already!', laughed awkwardly ahaha. The new pope and the Yellow Dragon Shuhanan, he sat down, occupied a seat. Originally, Shuhanan, who was not very talkative, did not feel any discomfort even when people were silent because of him. What was more uncomfortable was the other people gathered at the table.
There was a strange silence again. Unable to bear it, Parker spoke again.
"Leader."
"Yes."
"What is the relationship with the Holy Father..."
This time, Parker, who couldn't even openly ask 'what kind of relationship' is, gloomy and blurs the end of his speech. Parker and his colleagues have yet to hear what happened at the Vatican. He was very nervous, realizing that he was an enemy he might have to fight until he was separated from Estio, but when he got there, the air current was a little strange.
'It's not like we were fighting.'
Parker glanced at him and muttered to himself. The seat Shuhanan chose was the seat next to Estio. In the selection of the position, the firm will to keep Estio in sight and keep watching was clearly felt.
'Okay. The two of you are of the same dragon family even though they have different colors, so after meeting each other, did they get along well and became friends? So now there is no need to fight Hwangryong-sama?'
Shuhanan's mood, which has changed significantly since the last time we met separately, also contributed to Parker's speculation. Originally, the new pope with blonde hair and golden eyes had a cold, gloomy, and eerie face that could not feel any emotion. He even got more goosebumps because he had an indifferent look that seemed to be okay even if someone died right in front of his eyes.
However, Shuhanan's face had changed to look like a completely different person now.
'Now I feel like a living person.'
