Estio Volume 8

 

- Episode 12

 

Parker intervened in an unfair voice, but Ahur continued to pretend he didn't hear.

 

"If you're going to take it, give it a name!"

 

"I hope that's good, bye. This child must be uncomfortable without a name."

 

When Neju agreed, I felt like it was the case with Estio, who had no idea. Estio looked down at the Red Crow, which was comfortably held in his palms. Black dotted eyes were looking straight at him.

 

'name.'

 

The only subject that Estio gave a name to was Tsuki. The rest already had names, or they were short enough that I didn't even need to give them a name, so it was okay. The reason I gave the name 'Tsuki' to a black cat I met in the snow when I was a child was because that word just came to my mind.

 

'I was glad that Tsuki liked the name.'

 

If he had been rejected then, he might not have been able to give Tsuki a name. Thinking like that, Estio looked back at Tsuki with a new sense of gratitude. At some point, Tsuki, who occupied the top of the highest ledge, was seen with only his tail hanging in the air like a fishing rod.

 

When Estio was young, he often read texts that no one taught him or understood difficult expressions spoken by adults in his head first. Then he suddenly got stuck in some letters and couldn't read it at all. The cycle of coming up with suitable words in his head was jagged, making it more difficult to see animals and not objects and name them to fit.

 

At the time, I didn't know why, but when I talked about it this time, Shuhanan explained that this was a 'transmission of knowledge of the dragon tribe'. The dragon family said that the knowledge possessed by the parent dragon is passed on to their children, but as it is, appropriate environmental stimulation and education are necessary so that they can be absorbed well as soon as they wake up from the egg. However, Estio missed that time, so he had all the information he had learned sporadically, and now his ego is already captured and it is difficult to retrieve the knowledge stored somewhere in his head. Shuhanan, who said that, had sad eyes.

 

'But this time, there is no name that comes to mind.'

 

Estio put a bundle of pink fur on his hand and only exchanged glances. When I saw Tsuki, the name immediately came to mind, but no matter how much I looked at this bird, I couldn't think of the word.

 

After a long time to ponder, the silence fell for a moment. But not long after, someone suddenly opened his mouth.

 

"How about 'Lero'?"

 

It was Parker who was thinking with a serious attitude with his chin on his chin.

 

"Lero?"

 

Parker noticed Estio's expression contemplating what the word 'Lero' means, and smiled, ahahaha.

 

"Red Crow is an abbreviation of 'Lero'. It sounds similar to 'Taro', a cave wolf raised by Moobin!"

 

It was then that Estio realized that he could name it that way, and admired it slightly. When I listened to it, the two letters from Red Crow matched perfectly. It didn't have a grand meaning, but it was just right for a small new name. Besides, her pronunciation was as pretty as a bird chirping.

 

In the end, the name of the little bird that flew to Elysium while wandering for life became Lero from that day.

 

The story of Lero was brief, but that night was busy sharing how the party who had gathered together for a long time had a good time with each other. Ruby and Lipe avoided their seats so as not to be disturbed. We had only been living apart for a month, but the conversation continued until the day dawned about what anecdotes kept popping up one after another without limit.

 

"It was fun. Knuckle."

 

"I think I'm going to die of exhaustion..."

 

Parker, who stared at the rising sun through the window with a faint gaze, stumbled and fell on the carpet.

 

"Ah. If you sleep on the floor, your neck will turn! You should sleep properly on the bed."

 

As Neju's nagging continued, the members of the Joining tribe, scattered like corpses, couldn't even use their wings and crawled to the bed. Seeing that, Mubin giggled. She said that Mubin had a strong body type, and she told him that she didn't have much to waste her stamina overnight.

 

Estio, who was in front of the familiar scenery he had seen often while traveling together, watched with a relaxed mind and finally gave Ahur a glance.

 

"Isn't Ahur sleepy now?"

 

"Now go to bed. Good morning everyone."

 

After much chatter, the cactus, who became very refreshed, settled in a small place by the window. But even after hearing the answer, Estio shook his head. What I was asking now was not simply a question of being tired.

 

"When you're sleepy, you can just sleep. If you refuse sleep for too long, it's not good for your health."

 

"Ah, that!"

 

The cactus, who recently learned a variety of gestures by socializing with people, even clapped with two hands this time.

 

"Heh heh. I didn't know that, but the sleep phase was something that could be suppressed by divine power."

 

It was a new training effect of divine magic. Even though he couldn't use magic, Ahur was satisfied with just the advantage of being able to keep his mind clear during the sleep phase.

 

「It was said that my flower is also connected with divine power! My goal is to practice hard, and later bloom bigger and more beautiful flowers than now!"

 

"...then I'm glad."

 

If I regret becoming a guardian, I would try to destroy what I had learned from Shuhanan, but the cactus looked very excited. Many things that happened due to drinking Estio's blood were all interesting to Ahur. He looked at the cactus glowing in the light green in the sunlight for a moment before laying down on Estiodo's seat.

 

Although the day was bright, it was time for everyone to fall asleep because we all stayed up all night. As if the tumultuous time had just been a lie, the room quickly became quiet.

 

It's the fourth day since Shuhanan was away.

 

Estio spent two days relaxing and spending time with the party, but on the third day, he was busy checking the window, and that day, he began to move diligently from the morning. Just in time, Parker, who was carrying a beautiful breakfast bread, found him and followed him and asked.

 

"Leader, you should have breakfast..., huh? What are you doing?"

 

Tit!

 

Lero, now able to fly to a fairly high place, sat on a long hanger and chirped loudly. Lero came down and began to peck when Parker held the piece of bread in her palm and held it out.

 

"We are preparing to go back."

 

"ancient?"

 

Parker made a stupid expression in front of Estio, who still answered. Then he took out the robe that Estio had folded and put it on lightly.

 

The black hooded robe with the magic enchantment did not wear a single fire mark. A little dust had settled down, but it was cleaned with just one brushing. It was a guild uniform coat that did not need to be worn while staying in Elysium.

 

Parker glanced at the high-quality robes for executives neatly stored so that they could be put on immediately, and then fluttered their wings. Lero, who had been pecking at a piece of bread at the same time, flapped his wings hard.

 

"Ah, even if you make such a decision so suddenly, ugh. No, when did you make that decision?"

 

"I've been thinking about it ever since I decided to stay here."

 

Hearing that he had thought of the end as well as the beginning, Parker looked at him with a strange feeling.

 

'You have an unexpectedly cold side.'

 

Upon learning that the Yellow Dragon Shuhanan was his biological father, Parker chose to stay with Estio in the temple without saying a word, just like the rest of his colleagues. One of the reasons was the thought that he would need some time to unravel since he had met his family at the most, but above all, after seeing Shu Hanan in person, no other words came out.

 

'Actually, I was very nervous until I met the leader's father...'

 

At that time, everyone thought that Shuhanan was a light dragon trying to set the world on fire. If there was an absolute evil in the world, it would be Shuhanan, and he felt that the threat that Kai sensed would disappear only by defeating him. So, the image of Hwangryong that everyone vaguely imagined was a very vicious and cruel maniac murder maniac. At first, I tried to get angry with my fellow countryman Estio, asking what he was trying to do. He also wanted to ask why he sent the Holy Knights to attack them.

 

However, the moment the Yellow Dragon Shuhanan was in front of them, everyone, including Parker, was blown away.

 

'It's just a man full of scars.'

 

The Hwangryong that appeared was extremely ordinary. He spoke human language, and he treated his guests with a look of helplessness throughout.

 

Shuhanan has been looking for his deceased wife and has collected the traces of them piece by piece. Loa Ren's eyes, bones, and scales, which had cooled even from her warmth, gathered one by one and held them in her hand. In the meantime, she couldn't find only the heart. Every day was so horrific that it was sinful to even dare to call it wretchedness, which continued for hundreds of years for Shuhanan. In the end, it was neither hatred nor sorrow, but a burnt coal in the name of despair that ruled him.

 

Parker's party, who came to find Estio, did not know the inside story, but at least they could recognize Shuhanan's deep lethargy. Far from destroying the world, the golden eyes, which were translucent like jewels, looked so empty that it was pitiful to see them from a third person's point of view. When I saw him like that, the words I was trying to pursue came into my mind.

 

After Parker was silent for a moment thinking of Shuhanan, Estio stopped organizing his luggage and turned to look at him.

 

"Parker."

 

"Oh, yep!"

 

Parker, who had been thinking of a different mind while twisting his emerald-colored hair, answered in amazement. Estio, who stared blankly at him, slowly opened his mouth.

 

"...Doesn't Parker want to go back yet?"

 

Of course I wanted to go back. But instead of giving an answer at once, Parker started talking about the status quo.

 

"Um, actually, it's really comfortable these days. Even if I'm not working, I don't have meals, the bed is warm, and moreover, I feel blessed by God just by being in the temple."

 

Elysium was always filled with divine power under the protection of the saint, so it was safe to say that he received actual blessings.

 

"It was nice to take a lazy nap yesterday. It feels like a very long vacation. Hehe."

 

"......"

 

Hearing that, Estio hesitated whether he was rushing for nothing. Bernie Parker was a subordinate who obeyed Estio's orders at the guild level. It was okay for Tsuki and Neju to follow Estio wherever they went, but not Parker. Even Mubin did not want to stay in Elysium, so he was so uncomfortable with the Holy See that he had a duel with the Holy Knights. However, no matter how uncomfortable she was, she could not disobey her boss or leave her seat by leaving the owner alone.
