Estio Volume 3
- Episode 11
It wasn't something to be avoided. I glanced down at the order, and the time limit was already pointing to 15 minutes. There wasn't much time left.
Estio lowered his eyes and took a long, deep breath.
"...Whoah."
Neju, who was standing next to him with a cactus flower pot in his arms, looked at his complexion with anxious eyes.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah, maybe."
Parker and Lina couldn't catch up yet because they rushed to meet the time limit. I couldn't let it go because I was afraid of the precious time Neju had earned. Estio hardened her eyes as he looked into the red eyes of the white-haired monkey full of worry.
"I'll do it."
I've been through a lot of one-on-one situations, but I've never read the minds of so many people.
Estio stood in the middle of the market and opened up his abilities.
wow.
As soon as he decided to read people's minds, something resembling the wind blew and followed his gaze. It wasn't just the wind. It felt humid like the wind blowing through a long, dark tunnel.
It was a chilling, chilling wind that only Estio could feel.
The people's inner thoughts, engulfed in the dark blue wind, began to be heard simultaneously as if whispering in their ears.
'Oh, I'm going to die of heat.'
'It's like a bad swindler! I laugh now, but someday I'll reveal what you've done.'
'There are so many, wouldn't it be enough to peek at just one?'
'Wow. The skewers don't taste good. I want to throw it away right now.'
From the outside, it looked like a lively and peaceful market, but the moment you heard your heart, the atmosphere was reversed. Negative emotions flooded Estio like waves.
It was then that he realized what it meant to open up his abilities blindly against an unspecified majority.
People usually hide negative stories in their hearts. There were also emotions that were too intense to be expressed. It was obviously unreasonable to receive so many thoughts and radical emotions all at once.
As soon as I opened my ability, I couldn't stand it and immediately felt nauseous. Even though a few seconds had passed, I wanted to stop right away.
'No, just a little bit more.'
Estio managed to hold onto his will amid the overflowing thoughts. It felt like I was standing on the edge of a precipice, hit by hail.
Starting from the entrance of the market, I read the thoughts of everyone passing by, one by one, as if touching the thoughts of everyone passing by. Staying in a person's heart was enough for a very short time. When the sound in my ears and the sound in my head sounded at the same time, my nerves were disturbed and my stomach was twisted.
And finally, in the countless whispers, I discovered a foreign feeling.
-K.......
The letters flickered before my eyes as if they were alive.
-'KAI'.
He had only one thought in his heart as if he were openly enticing him. Thanks to his very kind thoughts, Estio could easily guess that he was the guild master.
pod.
The ability to randomly read people's minds in a wide area stopped immediately. All the thoughts that had been ringing in his head disappeared, and the noise he heard in his ears again filled the surroundings.
Estio took a deep breath and wiped his nose with the back of his hand. Then there was blood on the back of his hand.
"Coffee me!"
"Fine."
"Keang, it's bleeding, there's no way it'll be okay!"
Neju was crying and not knowing what to do, only her feet were rolling. As the large body was restless, the ground rumbled, and people passing by were startled and gathered their attention. But for now, even Estio was not conscious of the gaze of others.
'......found.'
The results were awesome.
In the meantime, he has only practiced not to read people's minds. As a result, he got the answer that he could somehow avoid it if only physical contact and gaze exchange were made.
But this time it was different. In order to find one person within the set within the time limit, he unleashed the power that was desperately blocking him. Lee Neung, who ran explosively, forcibly penetrated into the minds of others.
No one could escape his desire to read. He found what he was looking for easily in a market that was ridiculously complicated to set a time limit without any contact.
However, the sudden burst of power hurt both the body and the mind at the same time. It was as if she had drunk herself from the poison she had exhaled.
"Estio-sama!"
Just at the same time, Parker, who flew into the sky and chased after him, found Estio and descended with a duck. The master's doll Zen was also made of wood and was very light, so it was carried on Parker's back. The only person who had not yet arrived behind was Lina, who was running hard on her two feet.
"this."
Seeing the blood stains on Estio's white gloves, Parker sighed deeply.
"Leader-sama, although the Master's orders are important."
The blood had already stopped, but just by looking at the traces, Parker could tell that the guild leader was overdoing it.
"You don't have to follow it while hurting yourself. A Master is not a king, he's just a Master, right? If you don't like it, you can leave the guild. In particular, there is no penalty for failure within the guild for such conditional directives."
If the master's personal instructions fail, there is no penalty, and there is no problem with the guild.
It's just that you won't be able to meet the Master in return for not passing the exam. Parker pointed it out and shrugged his wings.
"If you're having a hard time, you can just give up the order and return to headquarters."
"...the time is running out."
Estio, whose vertigo had subsided to some extent, took a step straight away. He had an outspoken attitude that didn't mind at all even if it was informed that there was no compulsion in this order.
'Why are you working so hard?'
Parker became suspicious of Estio, whom he had seen for a long time.
Guild leader Estio. He was always calm and quiet, so it was easy for others to think that he was indifferent to the things around him. When Parker first saw Estio, he thought he was a blunt and cold person. However, after spending a few days with Estio, his first impression was completely shattered. What I felt most clearly was the day I was attacked by a group of harpuas.
Even that day, Estio approached the wild harpuas without blinking an eye. He even got bitten instead by Harpua, who was about to bite Parker.
Then he opened his mouth and gave orders calmly.
'Go back to where you live.'
The sight of the Harpuas, classified as ferocious monsters, obeying the orders all at once was a miracle that was unbelievable even with both eyes.
While working in the guild, Estio did not turn away when a situation came when he needed him, and he was willing to make any sacrifices.
It was the same with the quest that Moobin R. Heiga entrusted.
The position of the leader of the huge guild called Ignis is a position that cannot be ignored even by commoners. At the time when he was requested by the Duke, it was a situation that could have been resolved by refusing it or returning it appropriately with conditions. However, Estio accepted the request without a single hint of his displeasure.
Even the day I finally returned to my abhorrent hometown.
In fact, there was no change in Estio's behavior when he learned the bizarre truth that he was born not from a human born in Selvia, but from an 'egg' he had picked up.
He returned to the guild headquarters that day with a nonchalant face.
At this point, Estio's passion for the guild was a kind of obsession.
While Parker was in complicated thoughts, Estio silently walked along the road. After digging into the crowd, Estio stopped in front of a kiosk. It was a stand with brooches, rings, and necklaces on it.
Of course, they weren't as luxurious as they were sold on the street, and there were various kinds of cheap items that were just right for commoner boys and girls.
"Welcome. Are you looking for a present?"
A bright voice came from over the stall.
"Or what you write?"
Guarding the seat was a woman wearing an apron and smiling brightly. She had curly blonde hair and blue eyes, and although she was a terrific beauty, Estio fixed her gaze elsewhere.
'Master's doll.'
The purple tattoos on her cheeks proved that she was a doll like Jen. She glanced back at Jen, but she only stood there with a blank expression on her face. Although they were the same doll, they watched each other for a moment, looking like cows and chickens, and then held out the instruction that Estio was holding.
"I'm here to meet Master Kai."
The remaining time, written in magic type on the order, was pointing to just 5 minutes.
However, the blonde doll only grinned when she saw the instruction, but didn't respond much. Estio was perplexed inwardly.
'Weren't you here? But I definitely felt it.'
Estio followed the letters KAI that came to mind clearly. The doll's thoughts could not be read by him, so it was clear that the master himself was the one who gave the hint here.
That was the moment I was thinking.
Click.
A small hairpin was pinned over his dark hair with the sound of the seams interlocking. It was a baby headdress modeled after a white rabbit.
"Come on! It's a reward because you've come to visit. Don't hesitate to accept it."
"......?"
At some point, a soft voice could be heard right next to him. As soon as Estio turned his head, his gaze met the melon-colored pupils slightly below him.
"Nice to meet you, leader."
A cute child with a neutral appearance, crouching down on the shelf, greeted with a broad smile, making it hard to tell whether it was a boy or a girl.
The eyes are a color resembling a fruit melon, and the curly hair that falls slightly below the ears is sky blue. In addition, he was wearing a splendid golden robe that made him wonder why he had only discovered it now. The unnamed decorations on the robes clashed against each other and made a karak noise.
"I'm Ignis Guild Master 'Kai' hao."
With a childish high tone, a cute little boy with melon-colored eyes gently introduced himself as a master.
"master!"
The doll Zen, who had been following Estio and the others as if they had never been there with an expressionless face, ran towards Kai with a wide smile. On the surface, her Jen looked more like her older sister, but her Kai hugged her familiarly and patted her. As soon as Jen returned to the magician, she rejoiced like a teasing puppy in the arms of her master.
Ignis Guild Master, commonly known as 'KAI'.
Appearing to be about ten years old, he looked like a young child, not only in appearance, but also in his sullen expression. Parker, who was standing next to Neju, one step behind Estio, was still awkwardly stiff as he could not tell whether the Master was a boy or a girl. But in the midst of that, the Master's tone was as profound as a middle-aged gentleman.
Instead of being surprised to see him, Estio lightly bowed his head to greet him.
"......This is Estio."
