Estio Book 5
- Episode 24
"Estio-sama?"
Only at this time, the quick-witted Mubin looked at his complexion. Fortunately, he didn't look bad.
Estio said to Jinyu.
"I had no idea that there was such a talented person as me."
"No, leader."
However, unlike his excitement, Jinyu denied it with an apologetic face.
"I can't read minds. It's not very effective, so it doesn't work well with people with strong mental powers. As you've seen, the duration is pretty short."
As the words continued, Estio's trembling subsided. On the other hand, Jinyu spoke with an excited voice.
"There is no one in the world with the same ability as Leader. Because you are the only person with unique abilities in the spirit world."
"......"
"I respect you. I've been wanting to see you since I heard the word from the leader."
Estio didn't like the word 'unique'. It was a sentence like a magic wall that separated oneself from others. There was no sound at all that was said to be unique. But he didn't have to show his feelings.
Without knowing that he was disappointed, Jinyu showed pure favor with a slightly recalled face.
"It's an honor to meet you, Leader."
She has no compulsion to read or manipulate anyone's mind. She just has a voice that helps her feel the emotions she is feeling. Jinyu said so and smiled comfortably.
"It's easy to adapt to in an unfamiliar desert land, so I'm quite satisfied with my abilities."
"......Is that so."
Thanks to Jinyu, who speaks in a friendly manner, the atmosphere became more lively, but Mubinman, who stood by Estio, was no longer swayed by her ability to assimilate emotions. Mubin, who sensed the subtle difference that my master could see, clicked her tongue inside her.
'You have become completely dull.'
But as a guardian, he wasn't the subject to intervene. The dragons all left for other stars long ago. The sense of unity that Estio desires cannot be obtained anywhere else in the world.
"Then, Lord, what kind of request do you want?"
After greeting Jinyu, he paid attention to Galvin, who came to the guild as a client. Then she galvanized her troubled face.
"Hey, there are so many things I want to request, I don't know what to do first."
"You can only make one request at a time, lord. Please choose carefully."
"I will. Well, the most important thing is, after all."
The worries didn't last long. Galvin first mentioned the biggest desert bane that comes to mind.
"I would like to investigate the recent increase in blue sand to find out the cause of these naughty bugs."
He added one more option to his mention of Blue Sands.
"If possible, please also provide proof that they are bugs. Hahaha! I have to inform the villagers. Would you consider this to be one request?"
The branch manager looked at the big-eyed man with a puzzled expression.
"Aren't you going to request the extermination at all? Ignis guild members are competent. It would be more convenient if you do that."
"As long as the cause and evidence are sufficient, it's up to us Turke warriors to eradicate the bugs themselves."
Galvin replied with a tone that was too natural.
"Because the Turke Desert is our home."
The request has been received. Because Turke was a vast desert area, he did not have a lot of money for the size of the territory. So Galvin did not specifically designate a guild member and hoped for his automatic assignment. Finally, Galvin went home first after receiving a confirmation letter stating that he would notify the progress of the progress by mail when the guild member in charge of the task was selected.
"Everyone, if there are any inconveniences while you are staying, please come and let us know! Even though I have good dexterity, I will fix everything that can be fixed. Haha!"
Leaving a greeting that I did not know whether it was the head of Turke or a carpenter doing chores.
As Galvin Turke, who was particularly talkative, left the guild counter, Parker fiddled with his tingling ears.
"Wow, the lord here is really, really great."
"Is it? There's only one person out, but it's all of a sudden."
Mubindo expressed his sincere sympathy with Parker's sentiments. The head of the desert was an admirably great talker.
While the two were admiring Galvin, who disappeared after leaving a great presence, Estio showed the Turke branch manager the items he had brought from the headquarters.
"This is the mirror infused with the spirit……"
The thing that Estio took out was nothing more than a hand mirror. However, there was a mysterious spirit that mimics people inside.
Jinyu took the mirror with curious eyes and looked around.
"A call from headquarters said that the Spirit of the Mirror changes its appearance like a doppelganger."
"Yes. So it should be kept in a quiet place where no one will visit."
The reason the hand mirror is silent now is that the spirit is asleep.
'I don't know if it's okay to call it sleep.'
In the mirror, Estio could feel something like a wave that the spirit had calmly calmed his consciousness. He was a little different from how humans and animals sleep, but the sleeping spirit seemed more comfortable than ever.
As soon as he was born, he was tormenting people and hated by people, and the Spirit of Mirror was also quite tired.
Now that the spirit met Estio and fell into a comfortable deep sleep, he did not want to wake up from that sleep for the time being.
'If one day someone who is looking for you appears.'
Estio took the mirror back and thought to himself.
'Then wake up from a deep sleep.'
To him, the image of a spirit who curled up and fell asleep like a child in the cold mirror was glimmering. The angle changed for a moment and then the figure disappeared again. In the mirror the size of his palm, he could see only his own face.
'I want you to be happy, sure.'
To do this, the mirror must be stored in a safe place where it will not be disturbed. However, if no one visits at all, it is difficult as it is, so I had to pay attention in many ways.
"I heard that there is a suitable place to store this mirror in the Turke Desert."
"Yes, of course."
The branch manager nodded lightly, then frowned again.
"Ah... But thinking about it, I'm in a bit of trouble."
"Are you in trouble?"
Parker, who was inflated at the thought of just passing the mirror and returning to the headquarters, quickly escaped the desert, gave an anxious expression.
"Actually, there is a desert temple that has been preserved since ancient times near the village of Turke. We still worship there, and the priests keep it clean and clean, so it's perfect for storing the mirror infused with spirits."
The temple and the spirit have good compatibility with each other. Because the spirits love the God who created the world. Spirits who felt a sense of calm and satisfaction in the strong divine power would sometimes gather around the temple and appear as natural bodies. There were some who mistaken it for the glory of God.
"But, as Lord Turke said a while ago, a strange phenomenon…"
It grew exponentially as if it had suddenly received a signal one day. Blue sand has appeared in the past, but it was okay if you were careful in some areas. At that time, there were many peaceful areas, but now they appear so often that it is almost impossible to cross the desert without an escort mercenary.
"It is very dangerous because the intelligent raids of Blue Sands and monsters are also taking place around the temple. Therefore, frightened believers have stopped going."
Ignoring the warning and going out of town without an escort, there were too many people to remember.
'Oh, so.'
Estio and his party remembered the faces of the villagers who were happy to see foreigners. Normally they would be wary of strangers or territorial, but they didn't.
In the face of the threat of survival, people often have strong kinship. They just liked to see people.
"Ugh, that's pitiful."
Hearing Parker's murmuring, Moobin added a little.
"And suspicious, very."
"We also found this phenomenon suspicious, so we started investigating. It's only been a month since we started working properly."
Even if the lord did not request it, the guild was already investigating the desert.
The Ignis Guild Turke branch is a new institution. Parker's eyes widened when he heard Jinyu's story that he had voluntarily entered the desert survey at a time when it was difficult to establish himself properly.
"Old? But, Chief Turke, can't we just move the guild's troops without a request? That's a violation of the guild's rules......"
"On the master's orders."
Since it wasn't necessary to hide it, Jinyu told me frankly.
"I have ordered you to investigate the cause of the Turke desert anomaly."
Ignis Guildmaster Kai was watching Turke for some reason. And the speculation that Estio might have been sent to the Turke Desert on purpose crossed their minds.
Mubin frowned.
'Anyway, that damn young child, with an innocent face, he uses the tiles he puts in his hands and eats them.'
Of course, Mubin also knows that Kai doesn't mean anything bad. But the thought that the owner was being taken advantage of, regardless of his intentions, made him quite depressed.
In fact, Estio made the same assumptions as Moobin, but listened to the story to the end without much inspiration.
* * *
Zinyu, the head of the Turke branch, gave Estio and the others a spacious room inside the building. Even desert lizards crawled along the walls on the ceiling and poor soil walls that looked like they would leak when it rained. The room was shabby, but it was a honey-like resting place for those who had camped in the desert, covered in sand and dust.
The party washed away their dirty bodies and objects with ice-cold water, which they thought would never be seen in the desert, and were able to throw their weary bodies onto the blankets only at night when darkness fell.
In the village of Turke, instead of a bed, a blanket was laid on the floor to make a futon. It was a way that outsiders felt uncomfortable, but Neju, who was bigger than a human, preferred that side.
"I'm worried that the bed will collapse every time Neju lies down. Lying on the floor, I don't have to worry about that, so I feel at ease."
"I think so. Neju-sama is big, so he won't fit in any bed... Oh, nostalgic smell of soap."
Parker didn't respond while lying down, but rubbed his cheeks on the soft white duvet.
"After all, it is best to cover the duvet after washing it clean. Hurray for the duvet."
For Parker, a member of the join-group, who has a tendency to move around well, it didn't matter whether it was a bed or a floor. He hugged the blanket like a lover and began to fall asleep while praising him.
Parker, who had fallen asleep first, laid down his exhausted body one by one.
