Estio Volume 2
- Episode 20
"Are you really okay with that?"
"Yeah, that's fine. I'm Cérérin de Fabien."
Although still young, Sarah had pride as a nobleman.
"Then never erase it, my memory."
"All right."
"thanks."
"......"
It has been a series of speechless blockages since before. Estio realized that he had nothing more to do here. He bowed his head toward Sarah. And he turned around.
"Yeah!"
Sera asked urgently as she put her back on Estio heading towards the window.
"Can I do it well?"
"Yeah, sure if it were you."
Sarah smiled brightly at the confident answer. The young man with the black cat on his shoulder jumped out of the window.
food duck.
White feathers flew into the room with the evening wind. Something with feathers scattered in all directions flew into the sky like the flap of an angel's wings.
Seeing this, Sarah realized how Estio had managed to sneak into the girl's room.
There was a heterogeneous race that came down from the sky, and a joined race with white wings.
'Sheesh, I have a lot of friends now.'
Somehow, I feel a little jealous. The girl, who had inflated her cheeks, quickly smiled and walked over to her window. His figure had already disappeared. Sera, who picked up one of her white feathers that had landed on her window sill, kissed her and whispered softly.
"Hello, Estio."
I'll pray. so that you can be happier
And hope to see you again.
'For my one and only true friend.'
The girl smiled brightly.

On the way back to the guild dormitory, night had already come and it was dark. On the way to see Sera, Tsuki was the only one, but now there were two more.
Estio looked at the two people walking on either side of him as if it was natural, and opened his mouth.
"I haven't asked before."
"OK?"
"Yes?"
Moobin and Parker reacted at the same time.
"How did you know you came to Fabienga's house?"
Originally, I was going to enter through the front door. If you control the guards and servants with mind control, you can enter the house confidently without having to climb over the fence.
However, just before he activated his ability, Parker and Mubin appeared from the sky. Mubin suggested a much simpler method instead of the cumbersome task of controlling and manipulating the minds of each person he encountered. It was to use Parker's wings.
First of all, I was desperate to see Sarah's condition, so I got help without questioning, but I still didn't understand why they came to help.
"Hey, Mubin-nim brought them here. Estio-nim said he was looking for them."
Parker shrugged and glanced at Moobin. Then, the eyes of the two men and a cat turned to Duke Hei, who had lied brazenly.
"Hmm. That sick little girl, didn't you care when you heard about it at the weapon shop earlier? Even when the Viscount was ugly on her knees asking for help."
"Are you so teased?"
Mubin smiled at Estio, who wiped his face in embarrassment.
"no."
"?"
"Even if you don't have the ability to read minds, there is a way to know what's inside a person."
"what."
"It's just a glance."
"under......?"
There was no such thing as absurdity, so an empty sigh came out. Even while receiving the bewildered gaze, Moobin chuckled like a bad boy.
"Once you get used to it to a certain extent, the person's behavioral patterns become visible. You are not a character who strays from the planned route. If you choose to act impulsively."
Chuck and Moobin held up one finger like a detective who guessed the answer.
"That's when a precious existence is at stake, not one's own convenience. Right?"
Estio remained silent without objecting. Thinking about it, that was correct. If he did something impulsively, there was always someone precious at the center of the incident. Nejju or Ahur or recently, Parker was also a little bit concerned about the trend.
Estio, who remembered that far, stared intently at Mubin.
'Are you observing me?'
In a short span of time, he knows behavioral patterns that he is not aware of. The reason was obvious, but it was a bit of an observing ability. Recognizing that he was looking at him with sullen eyes, Mubin stopped laughing and lowered his voice to say seriously.
"So that girl."
"Yes."
"Was it the corporal who was sick after all?"
"Yes?"
Cool, Parker, who was sitting next to him, hurriedly covered his mouth.
"Isn't it nine years old? It's ten years old, hoo-hoo. There's a lot of age difference, but it's not to the point that I don't understand."
"Sera is ten, not nine. And that's not why she was sick."
"Hey, are you even calling me by my first name already?"
Estio let out a deep sigh as he watched Moobin fall over even the irrelevant part.
'Let's not talk.'
Mubin, who had no fun at all as the person being teased reacted bitterly, kicked his tongue and shut his mouth. The party who arrived at the guild building went up the stairs one by one leading to the dormitory. Estio, who was finally stepping on the stairs, suddenly looked at the window in the hallway.
A bright full moon lit up the night sky and floated.
'Tomorrow in the village of Selvia.'
I go to the hometown I didn't want to go to so much. He tightened his grip on his stair railing.
"Estio?"
When he raised his head, Tsuki, who had been climbing a few steps earlier, was looking at him with calm eyes. He slowly climbed the stairs with the black cat.
"Come on!"
"Ah, I made a delicious dinner with special products I got from Galasia.
"...Isn't that just a regular guild meal, not a special product? It doesn't look like it would be very tasty."
「Uh huh, you're a professional complainer. Just eat what you give."
Estio felt awkward in the noisy dorm room. But now it has become a daily routine. Realizing that, he smiled softly, took off his coat, and took part in the lively board.
It wasn't the cold winter when I ran away from the house where I was first born and raised, but a warm, windy late spring day.
He was finally ready to go home.
Chapter 9 Excommunication
"It's hard."
Instead of jumping out, the cactus made a cry.
"I'm going to die of root ache. Whoa! Don't make any rustling noises!"
"Are you having a hard time? Shall I give you a hug?"
「Ugly.」
Ahur was warmly embraced by Neju's gentle favor.
They had been walking on a bumpy mountain road for the second day after leaving Galatia. The mountain was high and dense. The road that continued round and round was wide enough for a carriage to pass through, but it had not been cleaned properly, so stones and large branches were rolling here and there.
"The road is very rough. It must have been very shaky even on a horse-drawn carriage."
Parker muttered, taking out a handkerchief and wiping the sweat from his forehead. Now, toward summer, the weather was almost sweltering.
It was still morning, but I was sweating profusely as I walked through the rugged mountain road under the scorching sunlight. Plants and joiners with weak stamina quickly got tired.
"Is Estio okay?"
Neju, holding the cactus in her arms, looked at Estio's condition. He was also a man with mental abilities, but he was also not on the strong side.
"Fine."
"Tell me if you're having a hard time. I'll pick you up."
"...it's really good."
Estio sincerely declined. Thankfully, it was not too hot thanks to the guild's enchantment to maintain temperature, so it was relatively durable.
Moobin, who had a relaxed expression like the only person in the group to go out for a walk, whistled around and looked around.
"Hmm, even though we've come this far, is Selvia village still far away? The countryside is very rural."
When they came out, Estio, who had not been able to feel how deep they were locked in because they had obtained a wagon from the top, nodded in agreement as well.
'Now that I think about it, I must have lived in a very remote place.'
The people he met in the city didn't even know there was a town called Selvia. It was such a secluded place. his hometown.
It was also a task to properly find a small village that was not marked on any map. Up to the middle, there were occasionally signs, but now there are none. The only traces of wagon wheels that were dug along the road showed that it was the only road for people to pass.
"I don't think I'll ever be robbed in a place like this. Well, I need someone to hide."
"There must be monsters."
"Ugh, maybe."
Parker was terrified at Moobin's words. However, Neju, who had been watching the talk, added weight to that opinion.
"There was."
"Hey, was there?"
"Human-eating monsters. They appear often. Neju also lived in this mountain range."
Neju's red eyes turned toward the trees that stretched out.
Deeper and farther than this, somewhere in the mountains where no one has ever visited, the cave where Neju lived with the gang still remains.
All the people I lived with died, but the mountain smelled nostalgic. Looking at the white fur monkey, which was large but still young, Parker paused to pick a horse. Parker said cautiously, thinking that somehow he looked sad and needed to do something to comfort him.
"Um, it must have been difficult to live because of the monsters."
"That's right. It wasn't enough."
"That's right. It wasn't enough...... Yep?"
Parker, who had been joking around, felt something strange and stopped. Looking back, Neju was smiling brightly, revealing her pure white fangs.
"Even if I try to hunt this year, it's hard to find."
"Sa, buy, hunt?"
"It's a pity. It was delicious."
"!"
It was. The white-haired monkey was the strongest among wild beasts, especially in the mountains, where its power was maximized in the snowy winter. Of course, Neju showed even more special power because he was of mixed race with humans, but the other white fur monkeys also boasted great attack power.
Until hunters attacked and annihilated the bald macaques, bald macaques were the dominant predators around the River Mountains.
And now the young white-haired monkey, who survived alone, recalled that time and regretted it.
"〨."
"......"
Seeing Parker who had hardened, Moobin burst into laughter.
"Is his expression worth seeing? If it's a white-haired monkey, it's just that it's not classified as a monster because it's a gentle race far from slaughter, but it's originally a beast among wild beasts."
"It's gentle, but it hunts monsters......"
"Aren't they supposed to have to make a living too? All wilds are like that."
Shocked by the discrepancy between Neju's gentle appearance and nature, Parker nodded with a bewildered expression.
"Uh, yes. But."
"Why again?"
"Are we on our way right now?"
Everyone's eyes turned to Estio. Neju's hometown was the River Mountains, too, but because he lived in the mountains so deep, his knowledge of human villages was shallow.
In the end, he was the only one who knew about the village of Selvia, so the guide went entirely to Estio.
