Estio Volume 2
- Episode 25
"They were too young at the time. Terriott is three years older than our youngest, and Rosette is only one year older."
"Hmm, I remember everything I saw and heard when I was one or two years old."
"Eh! That's because Mubin-nim is special."
Parker shook his head and interrupted.
"Usually I forget everything when I was young. Heh, I can't remember anything before the age of 10......"
"What? Ten years old? Isn't that stupid?"
"Ugh. Bar, you're not stupid!"
Ignoring the wounded Jo-in, Moo-bin threw his gaze at Estio.
"Is that true?"
"? Why are you asking me that?"
"Because you are the only one who can verify the truth about what people say."
fact verification.
At that expression, Estio unintentionally looked into the faces of his parents.
In fact, even without such complicated legs, if you use his abilities, you can read the memories and thoughts of your parents at any time. However, the monster-like ability that normally activated even when you didn't want to activate it became silent like a crocodile with a sealed snout when you stood in front of your family.
It's not that I didn't read it consciously. but.
'I can't do that......'
While Estio was growing up, her parents, who had always been indifferent, had only ever been beaten once. Around the age of 5, when his abilities first appeared.
Screaming shouts came and went, and it seems that the parents were fighting each other. The children hid into a corner holding their breath, and Estio, who up until then had had no major emotional quarrels with his brother, was also caught in it.
But they weren't adults who couldn't find it just because a five-year-old hid. The parents, who were fighting with their voices raised, reached a secret conclusion and reached out to their youngest son, who was hiding.
Then, he dragged the trembling child, who did not understand English, and mobilized whatever he could with a broom, a ladle, a pot, etc., and beat him with a force to kill.
<Listen well. Reading people's memories is a very bad thing. You are a monster that has done something bad.>
Like someone being chased by something in a shimmering memory, my father whispered in a hurry. The whispering that was like a curse hit me, and it hurt more than my bloody body. When the child, who had fallen on the cold floor, raised her head, her mother covered her mouth and threw away her blood-stained household items, avoiding her gaze.
<Do you understand? Don't re-read it a second time. If you read our thoughts again, then.>
On that very day, a cruel order came from the family I trusted and trusted the most.
"You will never be part of our family again."
'What did I read then?'
No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't remember that part vaguely. Estio took a small deep breath, rubbing his fiery hair.
"......Tio. Hey, Estio?"
Estio, who had been engrossed in reminiscing on the past, regained her mind and raised her head.
"Leader, you suddenly have a bad complexion. Are you okay?"
Moobin and Parker looked at him with concern. The white-haired monkey, who had retreated, also put the cactus down on the floor and approached him.
"Myuu."
"It's fine. I'm a little concerned about it."
I looked around and looked around, and for some reason my parents were stiff. It was exactly the same attitude as those who were frightened of something.
'Are you scared?'
there is something to hide Estio was rather convinced when he saw the two people avoiding my gaze unnaturally. When I was young, I was afraid of being beaten and threatened that I would not be able to become a family, so it seems that I suppressed my abilities almost instinctively when it came to my parents, but now there is no reason to do so.
Estio got up from his seat. His parents raised their heads in amazement at his step closer. Two pairs of surprised eyes reflected the dark blue eyes that looked down at them calmly.
"At the client's request, may I read the memory of either of you for fact-checking?"
"Can not be done!"
For a moment, his mother convulsively refused.
"Didn't you say no, Estio? If you do that, you become a monster. How we worked hard to prevent you from becoming a monster...!"
Bang!
The table was overturned violently, and the dishes placed on it spilled over and rolled over. Rosette screamed and clung to the arms of his brother, Terry Ott. Terriot, who hugged her as if to protect her startled sister, looked at the culprit with a ferocious expression on her face.
It was Moobin who abruptly kicked the prize over.
"Isn't that monster tareyeong a little trickier? Hearing that monster sounds bad."
Estio looked back at Mubin, who claimed to be a monster, with a slightly startled look.
"That's right. I feel bad."
Neju, the white-haired monkey, also stepped forward. Then Parker, who looked at them in turn, scratched the back of the head and joined the monster procession.
"If you look at me, I'm a winged joiner, so I'm not a human like you. Hehe."
Parker laughed, but an uncomfortable silence settled. It was because there was no object to send hateful glances to any of those who came out.
As if time had stopped, the cactus opened its eyes wide and waving its branches from the last plump flowerpot and shouted at the people who had hardened.
"Hey, hey. The Byeonglympic is coming."
"......"
"......"
Dumb eyes turned to the cactus with a red flower on its head and shyly twisting its branches.
「What is this atmosphere? Can I wear it too?"
"Yes. Cactus-san, please say something."
Moobin smirked and fanned it.
"Wow, whoa! All jump! I am the mad monster of this area!"
"Kyaak! Monster, monster, monster, monster..."
Rosette let out a scream and eventually passed out. From my brother's arms, foolish glances at the limp 20-year-old woman again gathered at her, at a loss for words.
「……Hey, wait a minute. What? is this scary? ah, i'll turn I know you're pretending to faint. wake up Hey!"
The cactus, who was very sarcastic, mumbled in a mournful tone.
"Wow, there's a white-haired monkey talking here too? Some say that the blood of a black flame dragon is sleeping on his left hand? Talking dove isn't scary, am I scared? Huh?"
"Hey, I'm a joiner. If I had to ask for a fruit, it's a plum, not a chicken."
Someone softly hugged the cactus, which was wounded and vigorous. It was Estio. When he was held in his arms, Ahur made a croaking sound like a puppy he met his owner and showed affection.
"Wow! How do they ignore the seal! Sobbing."
"It's not that I'm ignoring it, it's that I'm afraid. It's amazing that you can instill fear in so many people, Ahur."
"Ah, I'm sorry to hear that. Do you think I'm cool?"
"......Yes. Thank you."
The last was a thank you to everyone who came on his behalf.
Estio, who lightly patted the flowerpot, once again cast a cold gaze on the village chief and his family.
"If you want a deposit, please cooperate."
"Who is this intimidating now!"
Terriot laid her sister down on the floor and jumped to her feet. The eldest brother, Teriot, who is three years older than Estio, has grown well into a strong young man even without him. When he stood side by side with Estio, the clear height difference stood out.
Teriot cruelly grabbed Estio's collar.
"You damn bastard, you've been annoying ever since."
Even while being pulled by his older brother, Estio faced him without any resistance. Terriotte, who was even more excited by the calm dark blue eyes, spoke again as if chewing something.
"Because of you, we had to live with humiliation in the village. Why do we have to curse and stone together because of you?"
"......"
"I purposely kicked him out of the attic to keep him out of sight. You bastard."
"......"
"The attic is not a room for people to live in. Did you know that the average person is nothing more than a freezer that cannot survive in the middle of winter?"
"Terriot! Stop it!"
The father hurriedly tried to shut the eldest son's mouth, but to no avail. Terriotte's story had already flown into the ears of everyone gathered here.
Mubin's hand, who had lost interest in their family at all, and picked up his ears, stopped.
"Even if you don't feed him for a month, he persists because he persists."
"Even if you stop!"
"If you aren't a monster, you've been pushed to the threshold of hell to die on purpose, but you survived to the end."
The faces of the parents, who could not keep their mouths shut, became contemplative, but there was no change in Estio's expression when he heard the confession that was like the blue sky.
"okay."
"I didn't like the face that looked different alone in my family. I hate it. It's just copying my mother's eye color and pretending to be a family member."
'You said you copied the eye color?'
Mubin tilted his head and tucked his chin. The expression 'copied' rather than 'similar' gave her a sense of absurdity.
At that time, Estio, who remained silent despite any abusive language, slowly opened her mouth.
"Me too from a long time ago."
"?"
"I hate you, Terriotte."
With no anger or regret, her eyes filled with only disgust, straight towards Terriot. It was then that Terriot realized. Estio was not unresponsive. He knew that he had always hated himself with that expressionless face.
As soon as I realized that, my fist flew first.
wow!
It wasn't Estio who got punched. Estio looked up at his father's hand, which had grabbed Terry Ott's fist, a little startled.
It was the first time that my father, who had always neglected me indifferently, moved for himself.
"Your brother, Terriot."
"father!"
"Don't force them to get along. You can't deny this girl."
"Why! Even the father hates that child! Because he was always afraid!"
"Yeah, I was afraid!"
Estio stared at his father's back, who acknowledged his fear.
"Still, I've never hated it..."
It looked so big and strong. The hand holding the club was worse than the current Terriot, and it was firm enough to not give any break.
But now, for some reason, it was within reach if I stretched out my hand.
'If you didn't like it, then why.'
Why?
The question that could not come out as a sound lingered on the tip of his tongue like a red dragonfly. He reached out and placed his hand on the back of his father who was standing in front of me. But it was then.
Paah!
'This!'
There was no way to undo the power once activated. As Estio panicked, his father also turned to him.
"What?"
"It seems to be shining..."
The moment the party murmured with puzzled expressions, Estio noticed it alone. This is the power that was activated when I met Thiel, the jeweler's wife who was depressed in the past.
An invitation to a dream.
It was the ability to break into the dreams of those he touched.
The moment he realized it, a black air stream burst out like fireworks, and everyone present was swallowed by the power.
Eventually, they all disappeared, leaving only the messy house inside.
