Estio Volume 3

 

- Episode 5

 

container.

 

The door closed with a shrill sound. She was kicked out of the room, but she didn't feel bad at all. Estio touched her blanket covering her shoulders with her bewildered feeling.

 

The blanket wrapped around his shoulders smelled like sweet cookies.

 

Now all that's left to do is take a break. Thinking about it like that, I got tired later.

 

On the way back to the room, Neju asked.

 

"Estio."

 

"Yes."

 

"Are you really okay like this?"

 

"Yes."

 

It was an immediate answer. Estio used to simply read and answer the speaker's intentions like this when talking with a person who was comfortable with them all the time.

 

'Is it okay to just go on like this without finding out about the real family?'

 

Neju was asking like that.

 

It's the free time you've earned. You can use this time to visit the temple and ask about the guardian who died 19 years ago, or you can clearly distinguish the race by being properly inspected. With the divine power of the Pope, it is possible to clearly discern the identity of Estio.

 

If that happens, the world he lives in will be incomparably different than it is now.

 

'Who made you so painful?'

 

At the very least, he could rip a small country town to pieces if he wanted to. But Estio simply replied that it was okay.

 

"It's comfortable now."

 

"why not!"

 

Rather, the cactus was excited.

 

"Oh, I can't. I will go and put thorns in the mouths of those children, and go to heaven......"

 

"Ahur."

 

Estio patted Ahur, who was threateningly swinging a branch while being held by Neju, and turned around again. The cactus quickly calmed down.

 

"No. Even if they change anyway, I don't change."

 

If you are not going to change yourself, there is no need to try to change it. He thought so.

 

"anything."

 

So I decided not to change it.

 

Chapter 11 Taunt

 

An indefinite vacation period until the guild master arrives.

 

In the meantime, Estio didn't really do anything. The other guild members were on vacation like honey, but he didn't know what to do and spent his time like a seashell being washed away by the waves.

 

After all, it was very familiar to Estio to be quiet in the same place as if they were missing their breath.

 

If his daily life is a little different from when he lived in the old Selvia village, it is that he was given at least a warm bed, a cafeteria where he could fill his stomach at any time, and a bath facility where he could wash clean.

 

He just woke up early in the morning as usual. He didn't have to go out to see, but he went outside wearing guild clothes as he did. The only actions that Estio can choose are to squat down in the room and kill time idly and go out to solve the quest.

 

I never learned to play in my free time.

 

So he chose to come out instead of holding his breath in the room. Although he didn't have a request, it was better for him to just go outside.

 

"Uh! Leader?"

 

It was Parker, a joiner who passed by chatting with his colleagues, who found him sitting blankly on a bench in the sunlight like a photosynthetic plant.

 

"Leader? Ah-Hang, are you talking about that guild leader that you've been following so fast lately?"

 

"where......?"

 

When I heard the word leader, my co-workers looked around. In fact, there were only rumors about the newly emerged guild leader, and it was rare for guild members to see the real thing.

 

There were very few people I knew, and their faces were not known yet, so there were many cases where they didn't even know they ran into each other.

 

'Are you alone on purpose? No, it's hard to tell the leader's mood by looking at his face.'

 

Estio rarely expressed his emotions, such as getting angry or smiling. So Parker was a little hesitant about whether it was okay to pretend to know Estio, who is now alone in the park.

 

If you don't feel well, it's better to pretend you don't know, but now you can't read any emotion on your face. He looked a little dazed, but he didn't look depressed or helpless.

 

Parker hesitated a little, then sighed and spread his wings.

 

"Wait a minute. Come say hello."

 

The sound of 'Together with the head of the family!' echoed like a complaint from behind, but Parker ignored it and flapped his wings and flew in front of Estio.

 

"What are you doing here?"

 

"Parker."

 

I didn't know what to do, so I didn't have anything to answer for. Estio greeted him with a light glance.

 

The black cat that had been sleeping on his lap suddenly opened his eyes.

 

"How's the cat?"

 

"Nyaan."

 

"Uh-huh! I guess I'm good. I'm waving my tail."

 

"...a sign of displeasure, Parker."

 

Parker laughed out loud and scratched the back of the head shyly.

 

Looking back, I wasn't alone. Even if it wasn't Tsuki who occupied his lap, white-haired monkeys and cactus flowerpots sitting behind the bench like a sculpture were always sitting next to Estio.

 

Neju, who had been loose in the hot summer sunlight, lifted her head up.

 

"Hello."

 

"Hello, Neju-sama. Ahur-san, are you quiet today?"

 

"Don't tell me you're tired."

 

Parker took the seat next to Estio with a strange gaze and looked down at the cactus in the sun without moving. He did not speak, so he was like an ordinary cactus.

 

It didn't take a day or two for this wacky cactus to be rude, so Parker passed it on and talked to Estio again.

 

"I was on my way to lunch with fellow guild members. Did the leader eat?"

 

"Is it lunchtime already?"

 

"Yeah, actually, it's been a while. I had a friend who had overtime work, so I waited."

 

Estio quietly nodded. Parker, who had become accustomed to his reticent boss, was talking to himself without a break.

 

"Hey, it's like taking a vacation with the leader while he's taking a break. That friend is from the office department, so he works overtime every time he works overtime... Oh! No, it's not like this, let's go together."

 

Parker immediately brought in Estio as soon as he thought of it.

 

"Wouldn't it be uncomfortable if I sat there?"

 

"Not at all!"

 

Parker, worried that if he left it like this, he would sit on a bench all day and harden like a stone statue, exaggeratedly waved his hand.

 

"You don't have to worry. Everyone is shameless, because almost everyone has a dragon skin on their face..."

 

Parker, who was flirting with excitement, shut his mouth. Of course, the expression to wear dragon skin on one's face is an idiom to describe impudence, but it was not meant to be said in front of someone presumed to be a real black dragon.

 

"Uh, uh, sorry, sorry!"

 

"......no."

 

There was an awkward silence between the two. Meanwhile, the party that Parker had left behind slowly approached without waiting any longer.

 

It was a copper-skinned, muscular man and a girl in a gray hood.

 

One of them looked at Estio and pretended to know him.

 

"Are you okay? Isn't it our spherical shape?"

 

"What, do you know each other?"

 

"Well, looking at it like this, it doesn't seem like it's the same."

 

The man scratched his shaggy, orange hair.

 

'Unusual intonation.'

 

As he said that he was somehow familiar, Estio had also heard of a unique way of speaking that was chaotically mixed with dialects of all regions.

 

As they approached, Estio stood up.

 

The muscular man who faced him from the front looked at Estio's dark blue eyes and clapped his hands out loud.

 

"Oh, that's right. Esto! Do you remember? It's a terribly unusual impression, so it's stuck in my head."

 

Even the habit of calling them by the subtly wrong name was the same. In contrast, Estio correctly recalled his opponent's name.

 

"Reena."

 

"Oh, I remember that!"

 

I just remembered her name, but Lina was very happy.

 

"I thought I was just chasing after the turkey, but I was still alive. It's so nice to meet you!"

 

The day Estio left his hometown for the first time.

 

He was the top escort samurai who got a wagon to go through the winter mountains.

 

At that time, Estio didn't know anything about the guild and was focused only on hiding his abilities. Then he accidentally told Lina that she could read the thoughts of her animals, who not only believed her, but also gave her the opportunity to use her powers for the first time.

 

Lina asked Estio to find out why the horses pulling the carriage did not move, and Estio read that the horses were frightened when they saw Neju hiding nearby.

 

After that, a fight broke out between Neju and the samurai, and in the process, Estio chose to protect Neju from the samurai.

 

As a result, he broke up with Lina, as well as the kind Sang-joo who put him on the wagon, without saying hello.

 

"At that time, I searched the mountain like this. The white turkey has disappeared without a trace. So everyone just said that you were eaten by a white turkey and it was just a bad rumor."

 

"Is that so?"

 

Estio nodded slightly. He is only two seasons old at most. It was just scary when it was a cold winter. He didn't know where to go, and he was afraid that the white-haired monkey blocking his way might harm him.

 

'Neju must have been scared too.'

 

Even though it is only two seasons, it has changed so much.

 

At that time, he and the little Yeti named Neju were both terrified. Without knowing how they might affect each other.

 

Estio smiled slightly, remembering the time he first met Neju. When his expression, which was never likely to laugh, changed, Parker and others looked at him with wonder.

 

Then Neju, who was standing behind him, walked out with a gun and blinked his red eyes.

 

"What?"

 

"Huh. White Turtle!"

 

Surprised by the appearance of the white fur monkey, Lina reflexively pulled out the two swords she had on her back. Seeing this, Parker gasped and flapped her wings.

 

"Wow! Calm down, Rina-san. Neju-sama is a leader's colleague!"

 

"Doongryooh? With that squishy white turtle?"

 

When it comes to ups and downs, Lina was also tough, but Neju just tilted her head.

 

"Are you fighting? Calm down. Fighting is bad."

 

"......"

 

Despite talking to people, he had a very gentle personality. You can't keep aiming your sword at a monster who hates fighting.

 

The wind blew up Lina's pulse, and she grabbed the knife on the road, etc. No matter how much she looked at her, she couldn't feel the ugliness she had seen in the snowy mountains before.

 

'Esto, my friend, did you even convince a wild beast after reading your mind?'

 

Just as she thought it was great, a shining badge on Estio's left chest caught Lina's eyes.

 

'Hey, that's Executive Ignis!'
