Estio Volume 3

 

- Episode 23

 

Growing up almost locked up in an attic, it was extremely rare that someone desperately needed him. So was the refusal.

 

The only experiences I've had lately are the memories of turning away from the target in anger, and I've never refused a pure request like I do now.

 

Estio answered again as rationally as possible.

 

"I made it clear yesterday about the guild request process. Go to the nearest branch and fill out the request form yourself."

 

"Because we can't go out of the forest!"

 

It was a turning point in the same conversation as yesterday.

 

The children looked at each other and cried. It is like breaking the law for rangers who have a duty to protect the forest and leave this place. Even a child who commits a crime will be imprisoned without exception.

 

"Hyung, you're rejecting me because of the person who requested it first, right?"

 

Then a child asked cautiously.

 

Estio looked at the child. Cherry-colored eyes filled with earnestness were visible. It was true that there was no reason to hurry if there was no request from the princess, so he nodded his head for once.

 

"Then it's okay to do it after what you're doing now!"

 

"That's right. Can't you accept it in the following order? Please, please."

 

The village children even burned their will to wait until Estio's good quest was finished.

 

Embarrassed Estio looked at the Master, but Kai was just smiling, pretending not to know.

 

"Huh, if the hyungs leave, you never know when you will meet another guild member..."

 

In the end, tears welled up in the eyes of the youngest child.

 

Rainville is one of the portal bases near the capital, and although there were many visitors, it was actually difficult to meet the guild members. All guilds do not move without a request. However, in the capital where the emperor resided, there was no need to ask the guild for a quest because the Imperial Knights usually took the initiative to solve the problem.

 

The children explained that it was a great coincidence that Ballista and Ignis visited the village at the same time as this time.

 

'No, it's not a coincidence, it must mean that something as important as that happened in the capital.'

 

Kai added inwardly about this bizarre touchpoint.

 

There is only one answer if you put in a quest to the guild at the same time in the capital. It means that a very complex and difficult case that cannot be resolved by public authorities has occurred. That was the reason why Kai made Estio take care of the combat personnel on this occasion.

 

"......"

 

Estio glanced at the child who was standing at the very end with his head bowed.

 

The red-haired boy who had left his seat the day before saying he didn't need any help from the guild was standing in the midst of the other children. I couldn't eat properly and I couldn't sleep, so red marks from still dry tears appeared on my cheeks, which had sunk in.

 

The stubbornly chapped lips showed how proud Rihann was. Due to being so rude the day before, Rihanna couldn't even speak on her own, and stood with her head down as if hiding among the other children.

 

"Are you Rihanna?"

 

twitch.

 

Estio's voice, which had no highs and lows, sounded particularly cold to Rian.

 

'Lian! Rihanna! Look. What did Dad catch today!'

 

His father's shrill voice passed through Lian's head, who suddenly bowed his head. My father, who was as good as his size, used to speak in a loud, resonant voice the day he returned from hunting.

 

Rian lost his mother when he was a child and has been living alone with his father. However, the two of them were at peace without ever feeling the vacancy of her mother. Her father was the best ranger in town, and Rihanna took off her fresh diapers and has been roaming the woods with him since she was three years old.

 

Recalling his father who was cheering him for catching the giant bear, the troublemaker in the village, Lian answered with a deep bite in his mouth.

 

"Yes, I'm Ryan."

 

"Are you thinking of commissioning a guild?"

 

"If so, will you accept it?"

 

There was a familiar taste of blood in the mouth, which had been chewed and torn apart. Rihanna's eyes, raising her head with a questioning expression, met the dark blue eyes embracing the cool light.

 

"Yesterday, I was told that you had no intention of entrusting me to you."

 

"Ugh."

 

Obviously it was When Ignis didn't accept the quest, she screamed in anger and went home and regretted it for a long time.

 

"It's just..."

 

it was coming In my mind, I wanted to go directly to the capital and find my father. However, no matter how much thought and planning in my head, I couldn't find an answer in the end.

 

"Damn... Shit!"

 

In the end, Rihann spit out a swear word. It wasn't an insult to Estio. It was just that he was so pathetic that his anger erupted out of nowhere.

 

"It's me, actually, I went out of the woods and tried to find my father myself. But when I think about it, when I go out, I don't know what to do or what to do."

 

The outside world was so unfamiliar to a child from Rainville who had never been out of the woods before.

 

"There is no way alone."

 

Rihanna couldn't even take a step out of the forest right away. Then, if caught, instead of finding her father, he may face lifelong imprisonment.

 

"I can't do anything against the country that took my father."

 

Even though he lost his one and only family without knowing English, the child was helplessly waiting in the house.

 

"The Ignis Guild says that the success rate of quests is the highest. Please find your father in the capital. Find him, and just tell him how he is doing. Please."

 

Rihanna was crying profusely now. Tears flowed again like a stream flowing through the valley on my dry and chapped cheeks.

 

Estio, who had a crying child in front of him, was bewildered inside.

 

'This is rather than a request.'

 

He was just a child crying because he wanted to see his father.

 

"I'm sorry."

 

Estio, who could not calm the child, apologized with a stiff neck.

 

"The request cannot be accepted."

 

Rihanna didn't react much as if she knew it would. Instead, he sat quietly in his seat. Rihanna was also feeling the fact that this quest was nothing short of foolishness. But the tears didn't stop. The distorted vision was shattered drop by drop, and again and again, it was dripping down on the sunken eyes.

 

"We're going to the capital today to meet another client. So we don't take requests, but I can personally find out about Rihanna's father."

 

"Yes? Sigh. Personal... Enemy...?"

 

The children who had been in tears following Rihanna had bewildered expressions on their faces.

 

Estio bent his knees in front of Rian, who was sitting on the dirt floor. And he asked quietly.

 

"What is your father's name, Rihanna?"

 

"......!"

 

The reddish-brown eyes that had lost their light gradually opened wide.

 

Rihanna forgot to cry and opened her mouth stupidly.

 

The dark-haired young man in front of him was saying that he would accept this as a personal request rather than a guild request. Rihanna blew out his pouting noses, and quickly pulled his father's name out of his mouth.

 

"It's 'Isak'!"

 

"Isak, I see."

 

Estio got up from his seat.

 

"I will come here on the way back to headquarters after completing the quest. Please wait until then."

 

"Ah, there, the amount."

 

"This is not a quest. No money is needed."

 

The children did not know, but this was an invaluable favor. Leader Estio, who can borrow power only by submitting an official request through a request form, has voluntarily set out to help a child.

 

Estio treated the princess, who was praised as the noblest in the empire, and the commoner's child, who sat on the filthy dirt floor, on the same line.

 

In front of this bizarre situation, Parker kept his mouth shut and glanced at Guildmaster Kai. The Master followed the leader's decision without saying anything while smiling.

 

"Can you promise not to leave the forest for me and wait?"

 

"Ha, I'll do it."

 

Rihanna jumped up after him and his eyes lit up.

 

"I promise. Thank you! Really!"

 

A wide smile appeared on the face of the dying child with the joy of being able to hear the news of his father.

 

"But what's your name?"

 

"This is Estio."

 

At that moment, the other children who had been watching with a nervous mind said, "Come," and distracted the heat.

 

"But why are you using respect?"

 

"Your brother is an adult and we are children."

 

"Adults usually use slang for children."

 

In an instant, the mental barriers that had been built up against strangers were broken down. The young rangers are now beginning to express great affection and affinity for Estio.

 

"You can talk comfortably, too!"

 

"...This is convenient."

 

While Estio was growing up, no one was allowed to speak nonsense. His parents made him always respectful. However, since there was no polite person to set an example for, it was established as an erratic tone that was neither completely respectful nor half-spoken.

 

The children who did not know that fact were simply amazed.

 

"Then I'll wait! You must come back and tell me about your father!"

 

Estio and his party left the Ranger Village with the children who followed them to the edge of the forest to see them off. The children believed that they were going to find Rihanna's father, even though there was no paperwork, it was just a verbal promise. In fact, there was nothing they could do but believe, but it was a very naive reaction.

 

When they came out of the forest, they couldn't hear the laughter of the children anymore. Instead, it was summer, so the sound of grass insects, which had started to cry loudly in the morning, resounded in the low grass. It hadn't rained for quite some time, so the smell of ripe sunlight was wafting through the dry wind.

 

Parker stretched and stretched as he climbed a quiet hill where no one was passing by except for them. A crackling sound was heard from his body, which had hardened due to the aftereffects of his portal.

 

"Ahh, the weather is nice."

 

"Too hot."

 

"Because it's summer. These days, it's been so hot since morning that I just woke up."

 

Joining people with emerald hair and green cactus lamented side by side.

 

"Ugh, I hope winter comes sooner."

 

"Hehehe, I like winter more than summer...?"

 

"Is it good?"

 

"Yeah... Oh, no! It's not like that!"

 

Parker, who was unintentionally trying to sympathize, waved his hand in embarrassment.

 

"But, originally, cacti grow in the desert, don't you like hot weather, Ahur-sama?"

 

"Oh really, where is something like that? So, you're a bird, so your original stock is an insect?"

 

"It's not a bird, it's a join tribe. And I hate bugs."

 

"Hey, I hate summer too. I was just born in the desert. The prejudice that all cacti will love summer is absurd!"

 

Parker was forced to apologize repeatedly to appease Ahur, who was upset.
