Estio Volume 7

 

- Episode 24

 

Shuhanan's golden eyes that mercilessly knocked down his guardian by moving his magical powers were filled with rage.

 

"I'm sorry, Q. I'm sorry. Because there was no separate order not to attack."

 

"Why didn't you report that?"

 

The atmosphere had become increasingly bloody. Estio, who watched the angry Hwangryong and the trembling Ruby, realized that Shuhanan did not know the details of what happened in Elia, the Sky Island. Ruby, the culprit, closed her eyes tightly and responded to the question.

 

"At the time..., I decided that if the master was an enemy, it would hinder the master's work."

 

"I never allowed you to make such a presumptuous judgment, Ruby."

 

"Si, I made a mistake. Please punish me."

 

「Ew, if you make a mistake like that, it seems like you're just being mean. My father, let's clean up and go to one room!"

 

All eyes were on Ahur, who boldly said 'Father' against Hwangryong. In the end, Estio held the cactus flowerpot with a sigh.

 

"Ahur, don't tempt me."

 

"Yes."

 

The hissing cactus found the box again. Shuhanan looked at Estio, who had no intention of intervening, merely to calm Ahur.

 

"What do you think?"

 

"......?"

 

"I dared to threaten you, escaping from the command to protect Elia. If you wish, Iza will not be decapitated."

 

Estio, who was in danger of having the head of the Holy Knight Commander cut off at first, and took the key, became puzzled. He stared blankly at the Yellow Dragon Shuhanan while holding the flowerpot.

 

"Isn't he your colleague?"

 

"Guardians are just servants. If you don't obey orders, you can take your life."

 

It was a voice colder than the wind in the middle of winter. While listening to the owner's voice, which could not feel the warmth, Lou Berry fell on the floor and lowered his head. He was resigned like a prisoner waiting for the punishment he deserved. Estio looked at him and narrowed his brow slightly.

 

'Does all the Guardians of Hwangryong think like that? really?'

 

I took a peek into my heart just in case, and it was true. Ruby and other holy knights did not have any objection to what Shuhanan had said now. It was only natural for them to give their lives completely to their master.

 

But Estio couldn't understand it at all. For Estio, the guardian was a close friend who exchanged perfect trust with each other. No one in this world could understand each other better than the blood-subordinated guardians.

 

'No, that's the world I went through.'

 

Although confused, Estio acknowledged that Shuhanan had different values ​​than his own.

 

"I don't want to."

 

So Estio shook his head.

 

"I hope that your hands will not harm the Guardian, whom you have built a trust for the longest."

 

"No."

 

At one request from his son, Shuhanan scattered the divine power he had readily gathered in his hands. As the golden air current that had weighed on his body disappeared, the commander of the Holy Knight raised his head in a cold sweat.

 

"Get up, Ruby."

 

"Yes!"

 

Shuhanan, who passed by Ruby who got up from his seat in a hurry, blinked at Mubin, Ahur, and Tsuki in turn.

 

"The Holy Knights must take charge of those three training from now on."

 

When the order was issued, the seven holy knights surrounded them.

 

"Follow me. I'll help you train."

 

"Woah, woah. Stop for a second."

 

Mubin, who blocked the knights from approaching with his palms up, walked away with a bad eye.

 

"Why are we here to retrieve Estio-sama, your servant! ...and such training!

 

There was a strange accent in the middle of speaking. Shuhanan's golden eyes and Mubin's black eyes met in front.

 

"Please explain, Holy Father."

 

It was a request that could be ignored, but Shuhanan did not avoid his gaze. He was particularly weak against black.

 

"It's because Estio chose to stay with you."

 

When an unexpectedly friendly reply came back, Mubin narrowed his eyes. Shuhanan was just standing in the distance between Estio and them.

 

"Until I change my mind, I too will remain here to protect the child. For that, I will not be able to assume the papacy, so I will not always be around."

 

After seeing the dirty side of a human being, or if the colleagues he cares for now die and disappear at the end of their lifespan, Estio's heart may change. Shu Hanan did not give up on returning to the Dragon Realm with his child. He simply put it off until he said that Estio would go on his own.

 

"Then why are you telling us to train?"

 

"Simply put, I can't trust you for the safety of my child."

 

"Huh? Why do I have to be trusted by the Holy Father and not by my master?"

 

Shuhanan, who was showing kindness in his own way, was silent at that point. In the cold golden eyes, he could feel the annoyance that it was not dry. Leave it like this and let the two of them quarrel. Estio couldn't see it and opened her mouth.

 

"The promise is different."

 

Estio remembered the words he said when he was taken care of by Shuhanan and transformed into a main body, he would return it to his colleagues when he recovered his health.

 

"Didn't you say you can go back to them when your wounds are healed?"

 

"Oh my... Baby, remember it well."

 

But even in the midst of that, Shuhanan cleverly twisted his words.

 

"You said you would meet your colleagues, but you didn't say that you would send them back to the guild right away."

 

"......"

 

It was just a pun on words, but Estio had nothing to say when someone as big as a Hwangryong appeared so cowardly.

 

Oh my.

 

Suddenly a cat cries over his shoulder. It was a signal that he wanted to say something. Estio activated his ability so that Tsuki could express his feelings to people.

 

"19 years."

 

The black cat fiercely lit the Odd-Eye and glared at Shuhanan.

 

"It's 19 years in years alone. If you haven't lit up your nose once just because you didn't know, what kind of qualification are you trying to control Estio?"

 

That voice was clearly heard by everyone in the room through Estio's mind bridge ability.

 

"Are you going to come and act as a protector for the subject that suddenly appeared? That sounds funny."

 

"Oh, yes. Of course, as a parent, I understand the feeling of protecting your children, but that's it and this is this."

 

Mubin also grinned and put one hand on Tsuki's argument. And she said again with a serious face.

 

"Indeed, no matter how many times you criticize me for not being able to keep my seat due to the outbreak of war in the country, I will accept it sweetly. However, training in divine magic is not necessary."

 

Shuhanan's lips twisted slightly when he heard that training was not necessary. She had an ambiguous expression that seemed to be laughing and angry.

 

"You are arrogant. If you are so confident, try to prove your faith by breaking my servants once and for all."

 

If they defeat the Holy Knights, it means that they will recognize their skills as guardians. When a team matchup was suddenly created, Parker flew off his wings in surprise.

 

"Me too?"

 

"No, only Guardians are qualified to participate in this battle."

 

Shuhanan coolly cut off Parker's worries.

 

"Those who are not guardians are of no use to increase their strength. Unlike the guardians who are subordinated to the oath of blood, you never know when they will betray."

 

The faces of the rest of the party who were treated as potential traitors or received were colored with absurdity.

 

"Neeth? Bae, betrayal?"

 

"Neju will not betray you!"

 

"Heh heh. It's a leap. Is there no reason why the guild has to turn its back on the leader?"

 

Hwangryong, who passionately cared for this world, but was burned by the blade of betrayal, did not even listen to their backlash. When Shuhanan gestured, the holy knights took the lead and opened the door. It was impossible to have a confrontation in a small room.

 

"Whether or not to train will be decided according to the outcome after the match."

 

"Oh, that's right."

 

Meow.

 

Tsuki still had the injustice of being hit in the back of the head, and he was much more comfortable making decisions through the exercise of his skills rather than arguing with his mouth. As both of them had hoped, they went out with the holy knights, and Ahurman pulled the thorns together while holding Estio.

 

"scared. Can't I go...?"

 

Estio didn't have anything else to say to the dead cactus, so he just patted it with one hand.

 

"Unlike Mobin and Tiger, it is a powerless plant, so it wouldn't be of any help."

 

"Ahur is strong."

 

「What?  Isn't that exhausting?"

 

He said it sincerely, but when Ahur was happy with it, Estio asked again with a puzzled expression.

 

"What is the feeling of boredom?"

 

"Use of unfounded confidence."

 

His tone was still hoarse, but seeing the branches drooping, the cactus looked like he had no energy at all.

 

"Hey. Thanks for trusting me, but I probably won't. A side-by-side plant, it's a very fragile plant…"

 

Estio also left the room, soothing Ahur, who was enveloped in negative thoughts. Shuhanan, who was waiting for Estio to come out, started walking next to him together.

 

With their resolve, they headed to the outdoor amphitheater set up in the Pontifical Elysium.

 

The purpose is to compete against each other without causing any major injuries, but Yggdrasil came to observe with a guard dog in case of any unforeseen circumstances.

 

The blessing of the saint protects the body from being easily injured even if it receives a strong shock from a blade or magic attack, and helps to speed up recovery in case of injury. Although it cannot heal wounds immediately like a high-ranking healer, the healing blessing spells handled by the priests were very effective. Especially if a saint blesses you, you can restore her health much more effectively than a healer.

 

In the same vein, when Estio stuck a sword in his chest and went right before he died, Shuhanan hung up day and night to memorize divine spells to increase his recovery.

 

The Guardian War had a 3:6 composition. There was a big difference in the number of reasons why I decided to play as a team instead of going to an individual match. The guardians Estio designated as colleagues were Tsuki, Mubin, and Ahur. There have been a few other animals that have often been subject to blood throughout their lives, but they were all relief activities out of sympathy, not all of them as companions. Estio released the rescued animals back to nature. Everyone returns to their original lives, and only Tsuki, who has saved his life since he was a baby, voluntarily hovers by his side.
