Estio Volume 3
- Episode 20
Whoops!
The sound was strong, but in reality nobody hit it. With a simple difference, Neju, who was watching from behind her, grabbed her flying fist and grabbed her. He was a man who prided himself on his strength because he had a strong body type. Even so, his fists were easily caught by Neju's wretched grip like a child's play.
"Kurre."
Neju's eyes lit up with a red light, and his neck shrugged. The ballista guild members all shuddered at the sound of the vicious beast's cry.
Estio, who was attacked, did not respond at all. His black bangs swayed slightly in the wind. The guild member who attacked first was staring blankly at the dark blue eyes that were visible through them.
He was a member of the Ballista Guild who had predicted the fact that the white fur monkey would clog his fists, but he was actually surprised in a different way.
'This bastard didn't even blink.'
In general, all living things have reflex instincts. He would have picked up a weapon to kill, but the reason he dared to attack with his bare fist was because he wanted to see how the opponent counterattacked.
Anyone who takes an attacking action right in front of their nose will react in some way. Those with body type abilities will move their hands first, and if it's a wizard, they will lick their lips and try to deploy magical powers.
If they can't do this or that, at least step back or blink their eyes.
But the young man did not respond when he saw the sudden flying fist. Even now, when that fist is right in front of you.
Even if Neju had moved forward one inch because of the slow reaction, that Ignis kid would have been throwing around after being beaten by fists that were used as threats.
'I never knew.'
It was the first time that there had been no response so far during an argument, so the members of the Ballista Guild were a bit bewildered.
But before looking any further, someone shouted.
"Chief! Above!"
The moment he raised his head following the warning of the same guild member, the man swallowed his breath.
A huge shadow was rushing overhead. A tiger pattern that stimulates human fear caught my eye on the black, shiny fur.
it was black
'Big. No, it's too fast!'
Before he could even find out if it was a real tiger, he gave up fighting. He was screaming like a frightened instinct. Absolutely run away.
But the wobbly legs did not listen. Before he could even take a step back, a ferocious black beast was already biting his shoulder and slamming it down to the floor.
"Aww!"
Blood spattered with a scream. As soon as the members of the Ballista Guild, startled by the sudden situation, drew their weapons, a neat voice calmed the black tiger.
"Tsuki, please stop."
Surprisingly, the black tiger, who was trampling on the man as if he was about to tear it to pieces, pulled out a tooth from his shoulder. Fresh human blood dripped down the black tiger's black jawline. Estio reached out a hand to Tsuki. Tsuki turned his head towards the outstretched hand as if to come here. And after glancing at the fallen man, he trudged back to Estio.
"You shouldn't bite people recklessly."
As if in response to Tyr's words, the tiger raised its voice and roared.
The members of the Ballista Guild, who had taken out their weapons to try to deal with it somehow, became contemplative as soon as they heard the sound and hardened like a stone statue. Estio, who glanced at them, opened her mouth again.
"Anyway, they didn't really mean to harm us either. Isn't it? Jose Marc, special commissioner."
"......!"
José Marc, who was called by his name, took a deep breath and wrapped his arms around his bloody shoulders.
'Damn, did you know about us?'
For some reason, I thought that for a kid surrounded by many alone, he wasn't too afraid. If I had known the information in advance, I could understand Estio's attitude, which was too easy-going.
It was the moment when the members of the Ballista Guild stopped in front of Jose, who had injured his shoulder.
"Stop!"
Village children appeared from above the trees. The children who hid their presence and ran freely through the trees like squirrels were even aiming at their bows.
"Fighting is prohibited in Ranger Village!"
In this village, no matter how young they are, they are rangers who protect the forest. From a young age, the children who had learned to use daggers and learned how to handle bows had arrows to kill rather than toys at their fingertips.
"If it causes more commotion, I will report it."
"Sheesh, that's too much. We're the victims."
José Marc got up from his seat with the support of the guild members while grumbling. The wound on his shoulder, which was dripping with his blood, was not too serious to even look at. It was fortunate that he had a healer who could take care of his wounds among his teammates.
The children didn't even pretend to listen to Jose's murmurs. José, who glanced at the pointed arrowhead pointed without mercy, staggered back with the guild members.
Then, suddenly, looking back at Estio again, he gave advice.
"My dear, I don't know how far you know, but listen carefully."
"......?"
"It would be better to leave the Ignis Guild as soon as possible."
It was unexpected advice. Estio stared at him to read his intentions. José Marc added that he was treated by a healer.
"The Ignis Guild Master is a monster, not a human. He did not create a guild for humans. Rather the opposite!"
When I did something, it ended up being weird.
Estio sighed and asked.
"Is there any evidence that the Master is the enemy of man?"
"Huh! Grounds?"
However, the cards that the Ballista guild members who thought it would be no big deal brought out a name that could make your mind flash.
"His Highness Shuhanan, who is loved by God, told me."
'The Yellow Dragon Shuhanan?'
As Estio's expression hardened, Jose misunderstood that it was because he didn't believe him, and added more seriously.
"You didn't know. Recently, news about the new pope is coming from the eastern continent. Those who want to touch the information should already know."
Estio read José's inner self a little more deeply.
The ballista guild members, including Jose, had never met Shuhanan in person. However, the story they were talking about was not made up, but real information they had obtained from the eastern countries.
Even Hwangryong was seated in the seat of the next pope, one of the other powers compatible with the emperor, no matter what he did.
"You have just received an oracle and haven't officially entered the Vatican, so you are pretending not to know, but how long do you think the cowardly emperor will be holding hands with Ignis?"
"......"
"I hope you make a wise decision, little friend. Next time we meet, I won't look after you."
The ballista guild members who had their faces distorted badly spit on the floor and went back.
Estio, who learned that they had approached him for this warning, was lost in thought while the village children came down from the tree.
"excuse me."
One child approached me first, looking at me, and asked.
"Are you okay?"
"Yes, thank you for drying it."
It could have escalated into a big fight, but fortunately it didn't get any worse with the arrival of the children. Even if it's a gentle Neju, it's hard to stop Estio when Tsuki is really angry.
'Are you very surprised?'
Estio swallowed his embarrassment as he looked down at Tsuki, who was still guarding him in the form of a large black tiger. She was proof that Tsuki was uneasy about maintaining her body. Recently, as Estio became a guild leader, it was rare for him to be attacked directly by others, so he seemed to be very surprised by such a small incident.
However, the children were frightened and looked around Tsuki in wonder.
"Is this the tiger your brother is raising?"
"This is my colleague."
"Wow! You're friends with a tiger. It's really cool."
Estio gently brushed his hair to keep Tsuki from getting excited. As if he had calmed down a little, Tsuki kept his head in his hands and closed his eyes.
"But why are you so weak as Ignis?"
"That's right! You should've blown those guys away in one shot!"
At the same time, the children were upset and complaining. Estio pointed out a curious point.
"Didn't we say that fighting is prohibited in this town?"
"Ah, fighting is prohibited, but you had an argument over there first.
The young rangers smiled and raised their fists.
The children were watching from the beginning the scene where the ballista guild members and Estio had an argument. Here in Ranger Village, I basically hate fighting, but I just believed it was fair to resist in such an unfair situation.
If the fight was unconditionally resolved peacefully, children would not have grown up learning bows and swords in a village that was tasked with protecting the forest.
"Then stop."
"Wait!"
When Estio tried to return to the inn, the children hurriedly blocked the front. Estio stopped his steps and looked at the child in front of him. The children hesitated at the look in their eyes as to whether there was anything to do with them.
"Ignis guild, right?"
"Yes."
"Hey, guys like us... can I do this?"
Estio looked at the child who asked the question. He saw a small hand holding the bow with all his might. The little boy, who thought he was only ten years old, was very nervous because the answer that he would not accept children as clients would come out of his mouth.
Then Estio answered.
"There is no age limit for quests."
A guild is not an honorary group. Therefore, age and status do not matter at all when making a request. Even a child of commoners can put a quest into the guild.
The children's faces brightened.
"I'm glad! I heard that Ballista doesn't accept quests unless you're an adult. So, if it's Ignis!"
"However, we are currently carrying out another client's request."
Estio immediately poured cold water on the excited children.
"If you want to request a guild, please go directly to the nearest guild branch."
"Ugh! That's not possible. We get scolded when we go out of the woods."
If you are a Rainville resident, there is a rule that even small children must not go out of the woods without exception. Failure to comply with this will result in severe punishment for disobeying orders from the country.
But that wasn't something Estio was concerned about.
"Guild quests have a procedure. You cannot receive a quest without a quest written according to the procedure."
"Careful!"
The kids booed again. Then, Tsuki, who was guarding Estio in the form of a tiger, snorted her softly.
"Ha, if you had a really hard-hearted personality, you wouldn't have been kind enough to explain it to the little ones."
