Estio Volume 3

 

- Episode 15

 

Van the Lesser Panda did not see the dark shadows he felt from the trained dogs he had met in the village of Selvia. The innocence of an animal that was properly loved and raised was shining in the twinkling little eyes.

 

Estio, who faced this, replied with a small smile.

 

"This is Estio."

 

"Estio! Is Estio also from here?"

 

Lesser Panda Van was very interested in Estio, who understood what he was saying. Even though he was seeing him for the first time, he didn't show the slightest bit of caution.

 

"I just came to headquarters."

 

"Then it's our family!"

 

"......family?"

 

He reflexively recited it, but it was a very unfamiliar sound to him. Van said excitedly as he floundered his hand in the air.

 

"Yes. We call the people of the Ignis Guild that way."

 

"Because this is our house."

 

A large bear with dark brown fur also intervened shyly.

 

"If we live together, we are all family."

 

It was a very simple conclusion, but the animals seemed to really believe so. Estio was silent for a moment, then asked slowly.

 

"Aren't you afraid of people?"

 

"Why? Everyone is friendly. They feed me and teach me to study. It even cleans up dirty shit! Heh heh."

 

The other animals also burst into laughter following the lesser panda, who was smiling humorously. When an animal is happy, the sound it makes is the same as a human smile. The moment I heard it, my heart felt at ease, and there was a magical power that spread a small smile.

 

All the animals of the Ignis Guild spoke with one voice.

 

"It's good to bring you something delicious."

 

"It's nice to play with you every day."

 

"I like you who became part of the family!"

 

So, I like people very, very much.

 

I could feel the pure innocence I felt when I first met Neju too. All of the animals trained in the guild had a blind liking towards humans.

 

Estio lightly read Van's head and then turned around.

 

"Come to play again, Estio."

 

"I'll wait."

 

I turned back along the way I came, leaving behind the sound of laughter. It felt as if the red stone wall road was shining with a warmer temperature than before.

 

Neju, who had been quiet the whole time, followed him and opened his mouth, just in case the small animals were afraid.

 

"Everyone was cute."

 

"Heh, the hair on my roots was cute. Recognition."

 

Ahur, who poked his head out of the flowerpot that Neju was holding tightly, admitted bluntly.

 

"Stop? Especially the raccoon named Ban was cute."

 

"This is the Lesser Panda."

 

" . . ."

 

A little while ago, Estio was the only person who directly communicated with the animals at the pond. Neju tilted her head when she first heard the name of the race called Lesser Panda. Then Ahur, who thought for a moment, shook his branches and shouted.

 

"no. But tell me Ahur-sama is the best! hurry!"

 

"Ahur-sama is the best!"

 

"That's right."

 

Ahur praised Neju for doing what he was told to do, as if he was unique. Plants taming animals are now common among them. It was an interaction that occurred because Neju had a gentle personality and Ahur had a strong assertiveness.

 

"I hope to see you again."

 

"Do you like them?"

 

If the answer is yes here, Estio may be willing to spend the day at the pond tomorrow to make new friends for Neju.

 

But Neju didn't really need another friend. From the time she lost all her people in the Winter Mountains, filled with anger and only thought of revenge, until now, Neju has never been lonely. She didn't care if she had someone with her anyway.

 

The reason Neju decided to follow Estio was not because she was lonely, but because she wanted to protect her.

 

He quickly penetrated his heart and wrapped up his anger that was about to burst and put him to sleep, but he looked as precarious as a leaf on a dry branch.

 

'I think your expression is getting more comfortable.'

 

In Neju's eyes, Estio, who was surrounded by animals, seemed more comfortable than when he was among people.

 

But the young white-haired monkey responded with a grin, revealing its white fangs.

 

"Kai said he would bring the request again tomorrow."

 

Estio nodded quietly. He certainly was.

 

The vacation is just until today, and you will receive a new request from tomorrow. It was an official request that fell into his hands after a long time since Moobin R. Heiga's request. Estio slightly spread his palms as he walked. She seemed to be trembling a little.

 

"I'll have to move early in the morning tomorrow."

 

"Ugh, why are you early? Didn't you tell me when you'd come?"

 

"If I receive a request, I will be leaving the headquarters for a while.

 

The guild animals on the shore of the pond were in a state of attachment, even if they had just met.

 

As Neju thought, Estio was more inclined to give his heart to animals more quickly. He added a kind word to the whining cactus.

 

"Ahur can sleep a little longer."

 

"It will come true, soon it will come true."

 

Ahur, who refused to be considerate at once, whispered that he could get up early in the morning too. In the end, as soon as he arrived at the dormitory, Ahur urged Neju to wake him up when he wakes up in the morning.

 

It was too much of a stretch just by waking up moment by moment, refusing to go to sleep, which might be years or decades. If I had tried to force such a cactus to sleep through mind control, I would have woken up later in a fiery rage.

 

'It's Ahur's choice.'

 

Estio, who knew that fact, let Ahur do whatever he wanted, even if it was a bit overwhelming. There is only one moment when he needs to intervene, when Ahur himself has requested it.

 

Perhaps he was harsh and even coldly respected, but those who stayed around him had no complaints. The bizarre companion, contemplating each other's overexertion while caring for each other, was peaceful as always.

 

next day.

 

Perhaps because of a long break, Estio woke up before dawn. The sky was still cloudy as it was before the rain. The sound of the wind was unusual to conclude that the sun had not risen, so he approached the window and checked the weather.

 

tweet.

 

As soon as he opened the window, two sparrows flying in loudly greeted him warmly.

 

"Hello, Estio! It will rain a little later."

 

"It's morning showers! Be careful not to get hit by the rain!"

 

"......thank you."

 

Estio, who suddenly heard the weather forecast, nodded, and the sparrows croaked like adolescent girls. Then, he gently rubbed his beak on his forehead once and flew into the pararak sky.

 

Neju, who had gone out for a while, came back into the room while he blankly watched the traces of the birds.

 

"Are you awake?"

 

"Neju, where are you going?"

 

"Laundry room. But the weather is damp today, so the laundry doesn't seem to dry. It must be raining!"

 

"......"

 

Estio, who heard the second weather forecast, was awkwardly silent. He let out a small sigh and shared the laundry in Neju's arms.

 

"I'll take care of this."

 

"It's because I'm bored."

 

Originally, white-haired monkeys had less sleep than humans. Neju pounded her chest to express her overflowing energy.

 

"Neju has great stamina!"

 

'Wow...?'

 

Estio sensed that Neju had acquired some new vocabulary while staying at the guild headquarters. She seemed to mean 'very' or 'very' in the context, but it was the first time she heard it, so I wasn't sure.

 

He hung up all the laundry and left the dorm with Neju. In Neju's arms, there was a cactus that couldn't get up even after waking up. Likewise, Tsuki, who sleeps a lot in the morning, was stuck in a dark corner under the bed and had to leave it at the dormitory.

 

'Who did you learn those words from?'

 

After thinking like that for a while, after walking for a while, Estio was able to run into the criminal.

 

"Uh-oh! Esto-nim, I'll see you all here? Wow, nice to meet you."

 

"Reena."

 

It was Lina Settrox belonging to the same guild. Estio saw him and immediately became a recognizable face.

 

"Huh? Your expression is so different. What's going on?"

 

"No. Good morning."

 

"Yes! Good morning. Do you think you slept well?

 

Lina joined naturally with the tough laughter that she was already familiar with. The two met by chance on the road and went in the same direction.

 

"What are you talking about, I'm here for some training. Follow the red bricks this way to get to the training ground."

 

Lina talked about the destination she didn't ask, and she even shared the warm news she picked up with Gwi Dong-nyang.

 

"Actually, starting today, one terrifyingly strong samurai has been assigned to the headquarters."

 

'Musa.'

 

It was an ambiguous word.

 

For example, although Lina is a member of the assault squad, she is a swordsman to classify in detail. A person who uses a spear as a weapon is a spearman, a person who uses a bow is an archer, and a person who fights with excellent martial arts without a weapon is classified as a chessman.

 

However, there was a reason for Lina's expression as 'a warrior' rather than a swordsman.

 

"Ugh, drink the horse. The main weapon is said to be a spear, but it's not the only weapon he uses. He also uses magic and has complete freedom from a long sword to a dagger! His whole body is a full-body weapon. It's really good. It's almost like the guild has a nickname for it."

 

Even though Estio listened intently, Lina's mouth did not stop.

 

"'Claws of Ignis'!"

 

"......?"

 

The name of the guild took place, but it didn't sound that great. As the reaction was lukewarm, Lina even traced back the etymology of the guild.

 

"Is Ignis originally a bird? What, a phoenix? It's a bird from the Wadi legend. Hardman. As you know, the first weapon of a bird is its claw."

 

"okay."

 

"To be called the claws of Ignis, it is said that he is a genius warrior with great testimonials!

 

Lina, who clenched her fists and chanted 'k', showed a longing for a strong warrior. However, Estio, who is not a person with physical abilities, did not understand the enthusiasm.

 

"Why are you trying to meet him?"

 

"Kukkkukkuk! If you're that good, you'll be on the training ground as soon as you get to the headquarters, so go ahead and wait and learn something from that gentleman.

 

Estio, who had previously watched Lina's fighting style from a distance, felt that Lina was a fairly strong warrior. Estio was well aware that it was not easy for the haves to learn first from those with more.
