Estio Volume 6
- Episode 9
Suddenly, the place had changed. The bamboo forest disappeared and a tiled house full of laughter appeared. Chickens and chicks ran around in the large yard, and when they saw it, the leash dog barked loudly.
Yeon Yeon-rang, who was walking proudly through the wide open gate, looked back at Estio.
"Why are you following me?"
"It is true that I felt responsible."
"under?"
"I'm sorry for making you trapped in your dreams. I made you trapped here, so I'll take responsibility and help you get out."
Yeon Yeon-rang, who was staring at Estio who threw a fastball out of the blue, turned her gaze forward.
"Who says you want to get out of here?"
In the dream where Yeon Yeon-rang's ivory hair swaying in the autumn wind depicts her hometown as it is, it felt unfamiliar like a stranger. Yeon-yeon Rang passed the yard and floor where she played when she was young, and she stood under a wall. The space visible beyond the partition was a cozy kitchen with the smell of food.
Yeonjunang, who had closed his eyes for a moment and smelled the hometown food, stood by the door. She had one person with her back in it.
"mom......."
The leg that had stopped moved slowly again. The mother in her dream did not see Yeon Yeon-rang, a 17-year-old growing up. Her mother glided past her fuel cell like her ghost. Instead, she hugged her little daughter affectionately as she hung from her skirt. With her trembling fists clenched, Estio spoke again to Yeon-yeon Lang, her head bowed down.
"Do you not want to get out of this dream?"
"...Yes, yes! To be honest, I was angry at first. Why are you showing me this scene again? What do you want me to do? Why do you always do what you want!"
Yeon Yeon-rang bit her lip. She wasn't sick because it was a dream, but she cried strangely. Yeon-yeon Lang looked around the house where she lived as a child with her wet eyes and smiled in disappointment.
"But I've changed my mind. How many times do you think I've seen this dream over and over again?"
As was the case with the memories engraved on the scales of the Hwangryong, the intense dreams were usually short. If I didn't wake up at the moment I should have woken up, I went back to the beginning and repeated hope and despair. The subconscious, which is vulnerable to strong stimuli, never showed only happiness.
"Can you tell me what happens next? That Shinsoo that I helped in the forest has cursed our house. A divine being? A respectful Baekho who protects our country? Don't be ridiculous. You're going to protect the subject!"
The scene changed again.
The house filled with laughter was terribly on fire. Warm blood flowed under the broken pole. A long roar echoed in the darkness.
woo woo
The surroundings were so messed up that it was impossible to tell whether it was the cry of a child or the roar of a wild beast. All the beasts that invaded the village were turned into monsters and randomly biting people to death.
"The divine beast, the white tiger, is the god of four-legged beasts, so it is said that he can control all animals."
Yeon-yeon-rang walked along the long trail of blood. There were tigers that came down from the mountains around them. There were corpses that were dragged and fell into the well, and there were tragic bodies that ended their lives with their eyes wide open while hugging their children.
All members of the Yan clan died. And in front of Yeon-yeon, a little girl who survived alone in the middle of hell and was trembling and unable to cry, was standing in front of Baek-ho, who had bright blue eyes. A shrill sound came from between the sharp teeth.
"I don't know why he passed out at this time and left me alive. Well, I don't even know why he attacked us, so what's the use of all those reasons?"
vision darkened. The scene changed again, and after a while the lights out of the village were revealed. Even if the terrifying noise was a lie, there was silence everywhere.
"Not long after, the army sent by the king came to the house. And our family who took care of the white tiger."
"......"
"I've been accused of stealing Haedong's divine beast."
The sunset melted over the black sky.
"I was framed for killing even the shaman who served my father's white tiger because of me. Yeonga, who was only a healer, was branded without trial as a criminal who led the conspiracy and harmed the divine beast."
"why......?"
"Yeah, don't you think it's nonsense? But while these kid's jokes are happening, come to the handsome gods."
Even though it was clear that it was a dream, the smell of charcoal filled his lungs and stopped breathing. It was difficult to tell whether Estio's cramped throat was because of her harsh acting or the sadness she felt for her fuel economy.
She smiled bitterly, her ivory eyes filled with hatred.
"I neglected everything. While our family was destroyed without leaving even a bone fragment."
After saying that, Yeon-yeon-rang looked at the burning fire for a long time. She then lowered her weary eyes, and she flopped down beside Estio, who was silent and listenable.
"Have you ever seen people around you die?"
Estio just stared at Yeon-yeon-rang. Feeling like he could hear the message in his cold dark blue eyes, Yeon-yeon Lang nodded in search of the answer himself.
"Oh, yes. Come to think of it, I killed guild animals that seem pretty friendly to you. But other than that, people like family."
Because it was in a dream, Yeon-yeon was talking more than usual. Even without Estio's answer, she muttered to herself.
"Mom, dad, little brother, the warrior uncle who greeted me every morning. And the maid who helps with housework, but to me, Sohwa was like a real sister."
Although not from a famous family, Yeonga belonged to the nobility in Haedong. In addition to the faces to remember, there were many love song students and workers who worked under his father, who was a therapist. He did not accumulate much wealth, but thanks to his father's personality, who valued life, the house was always full of life.
"It's okay to dream. If I can meet the love family again, this is heaven for me."
"......"
"Thank you, Leader."
This was sincere. Estio was at a loss for words when he saw Yeon Yeon-rang's cool smile for the first time.
"gibberish."
Aeon.
The black cat coldly dismissed her words.
"Shinsu is a god for animals, but there's no way he could have let humans die in vain."
Yeon-yeon-rang couldn't hear Tsuki's voice. She just looked at the flowing blood and the burning house, waiting for her dream to be repeated again.
"Estio."
Estio, who had been quietly listening to the meowing cat, reached out to Yeon Yeon-rang again.
"We're here to help."
"Shut up. You said you don't need it! What are you going to do when you go out? As a sinner, I'm just being chased for the rest of my life. The king and the country are all crazy.
Estio let out a small sigh.
"I still hate you."
"Then please leave me alone!"
"But I don't want you to die."
Saying he doesn't want to die because he doesn't like it, Yeon Yeon-rang seriously thought about whether Estio was making fun of him. But as soon as I heard the next words, all the thoughts disappeared from my mind.
"Stay alive, Yeon-yeon."
'You must survive, Langa.'
The guild leader in front of him was saying the same thing the family had said.
"I'm going to meet the divine beast Baekho."
Animals, plants, ferocious monsters and even tiny bugs.
Estio was the only person who could communicate with all races. When such a talented person declared that he was going to meet Baekho, Yeon-yeon-rang looked blankly at his outstretched hand without even thinking to wipe the tears away. His white gloved hands slumped down, and he looked very clean, unlike himself, who was covered in dirt.
"Let's meet him and talk about the frame of the story of the love song that was unfairly destroyed."
It was something I had never thought of. Just as Yeon Yeon-rang frowned, Estio reached out her hand first and grabbed her hand, which was dirty with dirt.
When Yeon Yeon-rang, who was surprised, suddenly grabbed his hand and got up from his seat, Estio said firmly.
"Then don't run away either."
"......!"
"Meet the king who claims you and your family are sinners."
Yeon Yeon-rang's ivory eyes fluttered wildly. No words came out of her trembling lips. Estio let go of her hand. Then, with her two feet on her ground, she said to Yeon-bi Lang again.
"Come back to reality and tell the truth yourself."
"It's ridiculous. If you do, you'll die."
"Did you say you'd help?"
Yeon-yeon felt her breath suffocating. Everything she thought was impossible was turning into a possible story.
Only one person pushed my back.
But Yeon-yeon-rang couldn't understand why he was trying to help him so much. She glared at Estio with alert eyes.
"You say you don't like me."
"Yes, I don't."
It was a knife-like quick response that made me laugh out loud.
"under!"
Yeon Yeon-rang took a deep breath mixed with laughter and lamentation. It was clear that he hated him, but strangely, he didn't feel bad.
"Even if you help me, I probably won't change much in the future."
"Yeah, I'm not expecting much."
"Then why..."
"Because I want to help."
His face, as if he had a problem, seemed a bit brazen.
Yeon Yeon-rang slowly lowered her head. In this dream, the people she wanted to see were alive. You can see the clear faces of those you miss again. that was so happy
Soon, Yeon Yeon-rang's face lifted her head, and as usual, there was a stubborn vitality.
"...I will follow the leader. Wake me up from this dream."
* * *
About an hour has passed since S.T.O entered Yeon-yeon's dream. Of course, I believed that he would wake up Yeon-yeon and come back safely, but I couldn't force the tension, so Parker, Mubin, Neju, and Ahur remained silent. When the sound of the clock's second hand was too loud to bother him, Mubin abruptly broke the silence.
"Hey, join-clan friend."
"Yes, Moobin-sama."
"Can't I just leave my legs still?"
Parker, who had one leg trembling in nervousness, put his hand on his knee and tried to find his composure. But the effort was not worth it and soon the other leg started to rattle. Mubin, who looked at Parker's sheep with a puzzled look, shook his head.
"I'd rather both tremble equally. Let's match the beat."
"Yeah! I will!"
"...well, what are you going to do? Calm down."
At that moment, someone knocked on the door.
