Estio Volume 7
- Episode 22
"Estio."
A meow, a lonely cry echoed across the marble floor.
"I can't do anything you don't like."
Just as he did not kill humans to live up to his expectations, it was still the same today. Tsuki unconditionally followed Estio's will.
"But you are not. Even if I hate it, I will always create the same situation again."
Odd-Eye, which shines in yellow and green, contains a determined will.
'From now on, you can't just watch. Before Estio wants it, I have to move myself...'
bum bum bum.
At that moment, Tsuki pricked up his ears. It was footsteps. Someone was walking from the far end of the hallway. Tsuki was afraid to hide his body, but he sat there, staring intently at the approaching person.
"Huh? You..."
When they reached a certain distance, the other side recognized Tsuki and stopped walking.
"See you again, Guardian of the Black Dragon."
As he said, it was spherical. This time he was not wearing a helmet, so his short golden hair and blue eyes were clearly visible. The man crouching in front of Tsuki smiled.
He was the most trusted guardian of the Hwangryong Shuhanan and the commander of the Holy Knights, Ruby F. Saint. Tsuki, Neju, Parker, and Kai had been attacked by this man not long ago. At the time, Tsuki, who was preoccupied with the worries of Estio, was distracted by the stability brought by the divine energy that pervades the entire Vatican. As a result, he was mercilessly defeated by the Holy Knights who made a deliberate surprise attack.
There was no time to counterattack, and in the blink of an eye, the holy sword shining golden already was slashing down the back of their heads. It was a vain defeat that I had tasted without even trying to return to the main body.
Ruby, squatting in her seat, tried to stroke Tsuki's head with regret.
"I'm glad I'm alive. I'm sorry I couldn't control my power back then?"
widely!
Black paws with sharp claws struck his hand. There were clear nail marks on the back of the hand. Ruby looked down at Tsuki with a puzzled face for a moment, then licked the blood-drenched wound and grinned.
"Wow, Ancalzine."
"......"
"Please don't hate me too much. We're the same guardians, so you understand, right? We can't disobey our master's orders."
Without making a sound, Tsuki stared straight at Ruby. It was a little creepy to see a black cat sitting in the middle of a hallway where no one passed, with only her eyes shining. Ruby gave up stroking Tsuki, squatting and placing his hands on his knees.
"After all, am I a paladin? No matter how commanded it was, trying to hurt an innocent animal made me feel uncomfortable too. Was it hard to incapacitate you in battle by inflicting only enough injuries on your own that you wouldn't die?"
Tsuki sat down at Odokani and listened to the excuses of the Holy Knight Commander without answering. No matter what he said anyway, there was no way he could understand it unless it was Estio.
"Hey, anyway, I was surprised. A young black dragon with such monstrous powers must be our master... huh?"
Whoops, whoops.
While Ruby was arguing, Tsuki changed into a giant tiger in an instant. In the eyes of the golden holy knight, who was crouched down, a black-haired tiger rushing like lightning was reflected.
Kaang!
The sound of large, sharp teeth and a sword full of pure white divine power collided and echoed through the hallway. Ruby, who was holding the holy sword, barely exhaled the breath she had been holding in surprise, and sweated profusely.
"No, you're surprised. Why are you running all of a sudden?"
"Are you talking about a person who was attacked in the middle of the night and hit the back of the head?"
Tsuki shuddered back, but unfortunately Ruby didn't hear anything because he didn't have the ability to read the minds of animals. Hearing the shrill cry, Ruby stepped back in embarrassment. However, as soon as he retreated, he had to turn his body to avoid the black tiger that was attacking again. Since he was not an enemy to be avoided by dodging, Ruby eventually picked up the sword again.
Once again, there was a bang and a spark. Noticing that his opponent was not being pushed back in the speed battle, Tsuki slashed the holy sword with his front paw instead of his teeth this time.
puck!
He had to block it, but the wind was so strong that Ruby couldn't stand it and had no choice but to roll the floor.
"Wow! Calm down! Calm down! We're no longer enemies!"
"Shut up."
Ruby, who had no will to fight in front of the angry tiger, was unilaterally pushed back. He backed away from his haphazard attack, even missing his only weapon, the Holy Sword. A blown sword rolled on the floor, and Lou Berry hit his buttwheel. The dust that rose through the collapsed walls added to the urgency of the situation.
Ruby, who had suddenly become defenseless, hurriedly covered her eyes with her arms and shouted like a scream.
"Ahh! That owner is now our master!"
Heukho, who had just rushed and lowered his posture, stopped at the spot.
"Why is Estio your bastard master?"
There was still life in his eyes, but when he stopped attacking, Ruby noticed that Tsuki was listening to him and added hurriedly.
"Yeah, didn't you know that? Turns out he was the son of the Holy Father. Damn, I didn't have a clue because there wasn't a single resemblance. If I had known sooner, I wouldn't have attacked him."
"under. What's the use of that bloodline?"
Tsuki, who always followed Estio and was with him in every process he came in contact with, already knew that much.
"A subject who wasn't there at the moment when I needed it anyway."
At that moment, a dazzling light spewed out of the holy sword that had been thrown on the floor. The holy sword Lipe Stigmata, which changed from the shape of a sword to the shape of a human girl, ran to the gunner Ruby.
"Life, it hurts."
"Hold on."
"Cold-blooded."
"...But this is always the worst, right?"
Like Ruby, the girl with bright blonde hair pouted her lips with a dissatisfied face. Then she turned towards Tsuki, her clear sunset eyes.
"Goodbye, cat."
krr.
Heukho, who received the greeting, shook his head eerily. Ruby glanced at the strange confrontation and sat down, leaning her back against the pillar in the hallway.
"Huh. Do you still see that as a cat?"
"Big cat, pretty."
"I really like it."
tt, Ruby with a tongue in her mouth shook her head. The Gold Guardian, who reveres the splendor of gold, couldn't have looked pretty as a tiger with black fur. Ruby thought that Lipes Stigmata, born from the bones of a yellow dragon, had a peculiar taste.
At the same time, the tiger, who had lowered its posture and crouched, seemed unwilling to attack any more. It was the moment when Ruby swallowed dry saliva as she looked at the pair of odd-eyes staring at her fiercely.
"Tsuki!"
A familiar voice was heard from behind. Tsuki, who was growling, took her life away and lifted her head with a twinkle of hers. Her long tail fluttered in delight and once whipped her through the air.
A young man with dark hair was running towards them through the long hallway.
He stopped in front of Tsuki and glanced at the crumbling walls and the smashed or split floors. He had a complete mess in the room. In the hands of the bewildered Estio, a huge black arc rubbed the tip of his nose. It meant to calm down, but Estio's already surprised eyes turned to Ruby.
'Ruberry F. St.'
Estio immediately recognized the leader of the Holy Knights, whom he had encountered several times. But all those encounters were the worst. Antipathy stood in the sunken dark blue eyes.
"What are you going to do to Tsuki?"
"...What did your guardian do?"
Ruby, who was embarrassed for nothing, protested by raising her empty hands.
"Oops, please explain to that tiger that we are no longer enemies. Because I thought we were really going to be eaten."
"You want me to eat you? I also have a taste."
At Ruby's fuss, Tsuki narrowed his eyes and was displeased. Estio, who stared intently at the black tiger, who was talking about his taste in front of people, read about the situation and was relieved.
"I'm sorry for the misunderstanding."
Because of Estio, who admits his mistake first, Ruby was doubly in trouble. The position of the hidden son of the owner of the service was quite difficult to deal with. In addition, even more so among the grumpy people who once seriously raised their sword to get rid of it.
Estio lifted her head and opened her mouth again towards Ruby, who was rolling her eyes here and there without being able to find an appropriate answer.
"But the Holy Knights have hurt Tsuki badly. If Tsuki gets angry about it, we don't want to stop him."
"Hmm. Hmm. I'm sorry, Master. At that time, the situation was the situation, so I had no choice but to..."
"What you have to do is apologize, not excuses."
Ruby's mouth was shut tight, with his horse's waist cut off by the cold voice. Dark blue eyes were staring at him without any emotion.
"Apologize to those who have hurt you, properly."
With those words, Estio passed Ruby with the Black Tiger. The holy sword Lipe Stigmata tapped Ruby's cheek, who was sitting blankly in her seat.
"leader."
"......"
"Chief? Do you sleep with your eyes open?"
"......Huh."
Ruby, who came to her senses only after answering involuntarily, buried her face in the palm of her hand.
"Oh, no, I'm not sleeping."
"But why is your face red?"
"Ai. It's because I'm embarrassed, because I'm embarrassed!"
Ruby murmured in a sad tone and washed her face dry. Not joking, he was so embarrassed that his face was all hot. Before becoming a holy knight, he was a priest who studied theology. Even though he did not become a high priest, he has been aiming to live a good life by following the doctrine. So, in his heart, there was a feeling of guilt for harming others all the time.
Since becoming a holy knight, he has mainly punished the wicked. Wherever the Pope had ordered them to be dealt with, there were those who had committed heinous crimes. Those criminals seemed to deserve the punishment.
'You've been harassing innocent people and making excuses.'
Maybe it's because he's been serving as a holy knight for too many years? Ruby rubbed her forehead and blamed herself inwardly. And I asked the Holy Sword, who was looking at him next to her.
"Life, was it something you were ashamed of this time?"
"Yes."
"...I don't even think about it, I just answer it."
Perhaps because the body was a sword, Lipe had the characteristic of not going through complicated thoughts. Lipe Stigmata's answer was always straight forward and simple. Ruby glanced at the bright blonde girl and smiled.
"I can't help it. I'll have to ask the master to get a chance to meet them again."
