Estio Volume 3
- Episode 12
"Ha, actually, I wanted to see you sooner. I'm a bit late than I thought because my work got messed up a bit. I'm sorry for this."
Master took a deep breath and touched his forehead, not like a kid. A golden robe fell gently from her sleeves, revealing her slender cuffs. The pattern engraved like a skein of thread on top of it was a tattoo often seen on dolls. Although it was not visible because of his clothes, the master's tattoo started from his arm and covered the inside of his body.
"However, hmm, did you have any discomfort during your stay?"
"Yes."
Estio calmly answered Kai's question about his daily life while watching his eyes secretly.
"I received a lot of help from the guild after I left my hometown and had nowhere to go. It's late, but thank you."
Hearing the sincere thanks, Kai smiled brightly.
"It's good that we, Ignis Guild, seem to have gained a lot of trust from you."
"Me too."
"Well?"
Estio briefly added to the master who blinked with a puzzled expression.
"I'm a member of the Ignis guild, Master."
Her eyes were slightly younger over the melon-colored eyes that had been shining softly the whole time.
"...I made a mistake on this. The leader is a precious member of Ignis. Thank you for reminding me."
Master only looked young, but his actions were very mature. Kai, who bowed her head to express her apology, smiled again and asked.
"Are there any questions you have about yourself? Whoops. It's like you've come out fully prepared to meet your own leader."
It was frowned upon, but Parker, who was listening behind him, thought it was worth it. This is because there were only a handful of people who had met the Guild Master so closely. Parker, I got into this place by accident after following Estio, but I was very fortunate to be able to face Kai as a guild member.
'What would you like to ask the leader? To be honest, I'm curious about the race of the Master. I'm curious about your age, and a little bit about your gender...'
Parker was very curious about the identity of Guild Master Kai, who did not reveal anything clearly even after seeing his face.
However, it was not the trivial things that Estio had doubts about.
"Why did you put me in the position of guild leader?"
"Oh, it turned out well. That's why I came to the leader myself."
As soon as we started hitting the main topic, Kai happily responded by clapping hands as if he had been waiting. Then he glanced over the bustling market and spoke again.
"It doesn't seem like a good story for others to hear, so let's use the leader's specialties."
'If it's special.'
It meant to read your mind.
Estio was enveloped in an unfamiliar feeling when he saw the Master demanding that he use his abilities even in the Directive, and now he asks to read it outright.
Until now, many people were amazed or disbelieved after hearing about his ability, but it was the first time he had asked to read his own mind.
Neither curious nor suspicious. Kai was just hoping that Estio would use his abilities to have a more effective conversation in this situation where he was just trying to tell a secret story.
It was as natural as a patient putting on a jacket and showing a sore stomach to the therapist.
After hesitating for a while, Estio met his melon-colored eyes and activated his ability slowly. Unlike when he read the minds of everyone who went to the market in large numbers, it was very simple for him to read the minds of one person.
"I am you-."
As soon as he concentrated his mind, the loud noises moved away, and Kai's thoughts were clearly read.
"I want to protect you."
"......?"
I read it, but I didn't quite understand it. As Estio was contemplating on how to react, the following thoughts flowed into her mind.
"I don't know if you know, but our guild was established from the beginning for people with powers. Under the wings of Ignis, we are protecting the precious people."
This time it was easy to understand. The Ignis Guild is a powerful group made up of people with special abilities. Even ordinary people with no skills are working, but their main job is to solve quests easily and quickly through special abilities. That is why, even if you were a commoner, as long as you had this ability, you would pass a simple test and be accepted as a guild member.
A guild was the system that could most safely protect outstanding talents in a society that was moving to a class system.
"Among these, 'Guild Leader' is a position created for the sole purpose of protecting Estio. It's because I've known him for a long time."
Parker, who had been rolling his eyes awkwardly in the silent conversation, suddenly saw Estio's expression and was startled.
"There is only one being with the same abilities as you."
Estio was shaking so loudly that it could be clearly felt from the outside. He felt like it took a lot more effort to read one Master now than when he read the minds of countless people earlier.
"It is said that long ago, all the dragons left the world. But there were only the two of us, and there were those who were not."
"Who are they?"
"One is already dead. And until the end, the only remaining one left in this world is 'Hwangryong Shuhanan'."
The story Kai was telling was a secret story that was not known to the public. Since it was not a verbal conversation, there was no chance that it was a lie.
Anyone who can read their mind has no choice but to be truthful.
"I thought he was the last dragon. Until a report about you is posted."
"he is......."
"Shh. Could you just listen for a moment?"
Estio, who was about to ask about the Yellow Dragon Shuhanan, quietly shut his mouth. Kai smiled brightly as he watched Estio waiting for the next story like a child who listens well . Then she gradually returned to a serious expression.
"Estio, avoid Shuhanan."
This was unexpected advice.
The existence of the Yellow Dragon Shuhanan, which the Master now informed me, is the 'kin' that Estio had longed for so much. I just wanted to get a hint about a being with the same power, but why don't you try to avoid it?
Estio hurriedly parted his lips, then swallowed back the question that had barely crept up. It was because I remembered Kai's request to just listen.
Kai smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"You can guess what you are feeling right now. I'd love to know. I'd love to meet you. Don't ever wonder, don't even try to find one. Do you know? You must not interfere with him at all."
'why.'
The frustration that could not come out of his mouth leaked out through his hot, trembling dark blue eyes.
"Shuhanan is still unaware of your existence. But it will be known only a matter of time. If he finds out that the Black Dragon is still alive in this world."
Melon-colored eyes and dark blue eyes looked straight at each other.
"You must stop breathing and go down."
The story eventually reached a conclusion that was like a sentencing. Estio slowly lowered his eyes.
The Yellow Dragon Shuhanan, whom the Master spoke of, was a person who could never be tied to Estio in the category of his kin. He was the obvious enemy. He is a strong enemy that no one dares to resist.
"Fortunately, Shuhanan's residence is not in the Rubarzan Empire. If you can't prevent it from being known, it's better to let him know that you are the most protected in the Empire, he himself judged."
So, I gave the title of guild leader to Estio. The guild was a strong wall to protect him.
First, protect him in the name of the Ignis Guild, and secondly borrow the power of the Ruvarzan Empire. To do that, it was necessary to settle more quests than now and establish itself as an important entity within the empire.
"Leader Estio."
The Master, who had conveyed an important story, raised a small palm with his own voice. A mysterious purple tattoo tangled in a tangled mess under the hem of the flowing robe was peeking out.
"For that reason, I think I will accompany you from now on."
Contrary to what had been conveyed in my head, I felt a sense of alienation in the very youthful voice. As Estio didn't respond at all and just stood there for a while, Kai began to speak hard to Sera, who was rejected by her.
"I'm sure it will be of great help. Just because I look young doesn't mean I'm really a child. Will you believe me?"
There was still no response from Estio. He didn't even change his expression from the moment he heard about Shu Hanan. Kai looked up at her cold, hardened eyes and let out a sigh of relief as he took her hand away.
"...if you don't believe it, there's nothing you can do about it."
"why."
"Well?"
Kai, who was about to give up quickly and secretly attach a watch doll, lifted his head again. Her dark blue eyes, which looked only cold, were somehow distorted as if they were a little painful.
"Estio?"
"Is it worth it to me?"
As soon as he heard the low-pitched voice, the white-haired monkey instinctively felt the emotion hidden inside it and cried.
"Even I don't really know what kind of existence I am. The Master believes in what I am now and puts a guild to protect myself."
'Are you saying that you will use the empire as a shield?', an unanswered question lingered in my throat like a fish in a fishbowl. It was a story that the Master was conscious of his surroundings and did not bring out in words. Estio had no intention of making those efforts in vain.
'Ah, I thought so, but also.'
Kai sighed inwardly. From the point of view of a master who has lived for a long time, that young existence was only pitiful.
"You... you don't know your worth yet."
It is a natural result. Estio, who had not been brought up in a real family and lived in poverty for 18 years, could not have had confidence.
"But, don't be suspicious of this one thing. I don't do anything that damages me either."
Calmly, Kai smiled brightly like a child who knew nothing.
"Well, let's find out the answer step by step. It doesn't look like we'll be able to understand it right away just because we'll tell you right now."
"......"
"Let's go in and get some rest. Excuse me today."
Estio was helplessly shoved on his back by a child who was nearly half the size of him. After staring at the Master in the golden robe for a brief moment, Estio left the place of his own will without any regrets.
Kai, who looked at his distant back, put his hand on his chest and prepared a formal greeting.
"I'll see you again soon, leader. At that time, with the request form, not the master's order."
