- Episode 4
No answer came back. However, the fact that Estio had a close attachment to the Ignis Guild was a fact that even Moobin knew well.
"Well, yes, I get it."
He ruffled the hair that had come down as if it was stinging his eyes in the tangled wind. And he was muttering his words.
"You mean you don't like war."
q
Mubin, who lifted his sword and stood on the floor, politely knelt down without further arguing.
"Order. What do you want me to do for you?"
No nobles should be loyal to anything other than the emperor. Especially when it comes to peacocks. If anyone else finds out about this now, he could be charged with treason and his limbs could be torn, but Mubin's actions were not hesitant.
Rather, it was Estio who was embarrassed.
"I'm not calling you to ask for anything in this case."
"Hmm, really?"
"I called because the team really needed combat personnel. The reason I wanted you to hear about Shuhanan reminds me of the saying that the Hei family had been looking for traces of dragons for a long time."
If the relationship between the Yellow Dragon and the Black Dragon was bad, the Hei family who drank the blood of the Black Dragon might have been affected as well.
So, Estio thought that perhaps the information about Shuhanan was the material that Moobin wanted to find more than himself.
Of course, that guess was misguided.
"I have already found the truth I was looking for."
Mubin smiled and spread his knees. The truth that the Hei family had longed for was the only truth in front of them.
Chapter 14: The Scenery from the Top
Kai didn't appear until dawn the next morning after Moobin joined the party.
"Good morning."
Mubin, who was lying on the bed and scratching his stomach when he saw the curly-haired boy who opened the door naturally, put on a shaky expression on his face.
"Who are you?"
"Well?"
The pale melon-colored eyes met the black ones. Kai glanced at him. Then he smiled and held out his hand.
"Come to think of it, we are the first to meet. Welcome, Moobin-sama."
However, Mubin did not respond to the handshake and picked his nose or nose with his pinky finger.
"It's the first meeting, but you call my name well."
"I thought you were hiding your identity on purpose, so I did. Maybe it would be more convenient for me to call you 'Hey, sir'?"
At the soft but poignant tone, Mubin laughed.
"Aha, is that 'KAI'?"
He jumped out of bed and stood in front of Kai with his arms crossed. Mubin, who was born with a strong body type and is very tall, had to look down at Kai, who is her child, for a long time.
"I pretended not to know because it looked uncomfortable for the dolls to stand next to each other even though it was my own building. If not, would you call me 'Guild Master'?"
It was both sides who discovered the identity. Kai, who faced her move-in, who returned her somewhat rude first greeting with her direct purchase, couldn't contain her laughter and laughed out loud.
"Please call me 'Kai'."
"I also ask for 'Movin'."
The two only shook hands properly.
And the cactus, who sat by the window and watched the battle between the two from the beginning, described it in one word.
"Yes, the next lowest price."
"Are you here, Kai?"
Estio, who was standing next to the cactus, greeted him one step late.
"Are you awake already?"
"It's time to wake up."
The sun had not yet risen and the sky was cloudy. The hazy and hazy scenery, obscured by the morning fog, was clearly visible through the window with the curtains rolled.
Kai said to Estio with an apologetic expression.
"Originally, I was going to come back before Mubin-nim joined, but I'm sorry I'm late. Hehe, our combat personnel are quicker than I thought."
"It was just more reckless than I thought."
Mubin made a sad voice as he watched S.T.O correct him without blinking an eye.
"Huh, if I admit that, what will I become?"
「What happened, what happened? You must be reckless and dull."
"No, why do you hate me again...? Cactus-san, what did I do wrong?"
"Hey, please do some self-examination."
No matter how much he thought about it, Moobin, who was proud of not doing anything that would make the cactus look disgusting, was troubled.
Meanwhile, Kai glanced at Estio's hand and asked.
"What have you been doing since morning?"
Estio was silently putting bandages on her hands. He had clear bloodstains on his palms. His hand, which had been pierced by cactus thorns, looked quite painful at first glance. Estio, who finished the treatment without making a single moan, put his gloves on it. The wound was no longer visible.
"Did you give your blood to the plant Ahur?"
"Yeah. I stopped drinking water from time to time."
Ahur's appetite was completely hardened in blood. If you spray it with water, it will absorb it, but it doesn't seem to have much effect. If you don't give blood for too long, you can see that it gradually loses its vitality.
So, Estio watched closely and gave blood once in a while when Ahur thought he was very weak. On the day he ate blood, Ahur was forced to sleep like a sick chicken, forgetting that he was asleep.
"I think it would be better not to give blood as much as possible."
Kai, who watched the cactus thorns become so fresh and even shiny, added a voice of some concern.
"Even now, it is difficult to see it as an ordinary plant."
After the ahur began to feed on blood, it was able to walk on its own and became a special plant that could speak and bloom with healing powers. The problem was that if you continued to drink blood, you couldn't predict how it would change further.
Estio, who could neither affirm nor deny Kai's request, pondered for a while and eventually changed the topic.
"I am going to visit the client today."
"Okay. Now that the word has been said, would you like to go right away?"
Kai passed without hesitation. Something came into Estio's field of vision as he turned his head away from the bulging melon-colored eyes. It was a group of people who were dried in thick blankets. While talking about sleep, Bernie Parker, who was trapped in a blanket like a cocoon, only occasionally fluttered her wings.
Parker is usually industrious, such as cleaning and cooking, and organizing materials, but once he fell asleep, he fell asleep so that no one would even know who picked it up. In particular, waking up early in the morning was the most difficult for me.
"Neju, will you wake up Parker?"
"Leave it to me!"
It was always the responsibility of the powerful Neju to wake up the sleeping joiners without knowing the world.
Neju, who vigorously beat her chest, moved forward. Parker alone was still wandering through the dreamland while the party was all getting ready for departure.
"Parker, Parker. Wake up."
wiggle wiggle.
A large furry hand grabbed the shoulder of the sleeping JOIN and shook it. Contrary to his ugly appearance, it was a delicate touch.
"Hurry up."
"Uhh... 10 more minutes..."
"No way. You have to leave now."
In this case, the innocent Neju also showed the decisiveness she had learned from Estio. Finally, Parker opened his eyes, curled up in the duvet. Neju, who made eye contact with the blurry purple eyes, smiled broadly.
"Hehe, good morning!"
He had an innocent smile like a young white-haired monkey.
But when Parker woke up, the first thing that caught his eye was the gleaming white fangs.
"Kook!"
A scream, similar to the sound of a bird's surprise, erupted. Mubin heard the scream and instinctively took her hand to the handle of her sword, but she didn't have to pull it out.
paddock.
White feathers fluttering in all directions landed on their heads and shoulders. Estio pulled a feather from his cheek and lifted his head.
"Parker, are you okay?"
"Yes, yes, yes."
Confused Parker grabbed his chest and clinged to the ceiling. It was a posture reminiscent of an assassin who had sneaked in for an assassination.
Parker came to his senses late and cautiously descended to the floor.
"I'm sorry, Leader. Neju's morning greetings are not enough no matter how many times I see them."
As soon as he opened his eyes, he had no talent not to be surprised by the grim face he saw.
On the other hand, the distorted facial wrinkles that look like a smile, the bright red eyes that shine through them, and huge fangs that look like they're chewing on the bones of a human's fragile body. In the eyes of Parker, a member of the Joining tribe, it only felt like a wild beast that came to hunt for prey.
I was so surprised that my heart was still pounding.
"Puha! It's still there, you and me."
Mubin chuckled and let the rest of his smile flow between the backs of his hands.
In fact, Neju's morning greeting was a method Parker devised himself. It's okay for people who sleep a lot if they sleep lightly, but if they fall asleep with peace of mind, they won't wake up even if they beat the drum and blow the trumpet next to them. However, it was impossible to fall asleep while constantly vigilant about not falling asleep every time he performed a mission.
Even if he violently grabs the neck and shakes him to wake him up, he'll wake up, but there's no way Estio, who has a quiet personality, could do such a thing.
The conclusion I came up with while thinking about it was Neju.
By the way, Parker was a coward and knew himself well. He asked Neju to leave it to him if he had to wake him up.
And that method worked very well.
'Big. I think it will shorten the lifespan because it is eaten too well...'
Parker staggered and put on a guild uniform. The white wings that came out behind the black coat-type guild uniform looked very clean.
Estio, who waited patiently until the preparations were finished, looked away, thinking that it was not unreasonable to misunderstand Parker as an angel wherever he went.
Finally, the day I go to meet the client. When I stepped out of the building, the midsummer sun was shining brightly from the sky, which warmed even the morning air. If it wasn't for the clothes with the magic enchantment to control the temperature, it was sweltering weather that would have made you sweat a lot as soon as you came out.
"By the way, Moobin-sama."
"Well?"
"I'm asking this because you've already come all the way here, but is it really okay to meet the client?"
Mubin, noticing what Parker was worried about, put a clasp on the back of his head and walked slowly.
"Oh, it doesn't matter."
"Fortunately."
"There's only one person you don't want to meet in the capital."
They didn't say who it was, but everyone in the party who was listening could easily guess what it was.
Emperor Lubarzan, 'Azwin H. Lubarzan Zen Archidion'.
Mobin clicked his tongue briefly, thinking of his cousin, who Hei regards as a thorn in the eyes of the duke.
"Actually, we can meet. Anyway, every year when the sun comes up, I go to say hello. It's just that I don't want to see your face in person."
He paused for a moment and looked up at the sky. The summer sun, which was getting hotter and hotter, was so bright that I almost frowned.
"It's enough for both you and me to say goodbye to each other that we are still alive."
Using the clear sky as an excuse, Moobin frowned and muttered as he unclapped his hands.
