Estio Volume 8

– Episode 22

Kai, who realized that the explanation was delayed only after Estio asked, took out a request envelope from his sleeve with an embarrassing cough.

“Actually, this case was a quest I was going to take on.”

“Are you taking orders?”

“Of course. It’s not a guild master title, but I’m personally involved in things that interest me personally.”

‘So the headquarters are always empty, Master……’

Parker, unable to lament aloud, only fluttered his wings.

In fact, vice-master Fen Lensky, who is now synonymous with laziness in the guild, said that when he first joined, he was a very passionate and extroverted man. He was even a fan of fighters. It was only after he was promoted to an executive that he became famous as an invincible myth with strong abilities and swiftly resolving battle requests.

‘People who do not know the situation easily talk about whether the father-in-law is lazy because he has become accustomed to a comfortable life.’

When Parker was young, before he became an executive, Fen visited the village of the Joining tribe on a mission. Parker, who remembers Fen Lensky’s old appearance from a distance, is very saddened by him. The daily life of the deputy master, who took over the work as the master vacated his seat, was engulfed with thickly brewed coffee. At the same time, he learned the truth that the fastest and most convenient way for Fen to stay in a room and directly receive and process reports rather than going outside is to learn the truth. In the end, Fen’s fame was followed by a legend, not a legend, that he became like a lazy person who lives in the same room as it is.

‘Why does the Master keep wandering outside?’

Feng is Feng, but Parker somehow thought that Kai wasn’t living a very comfortable life. He looked so exhausted that he sometimes met me like this to think he was walking around because he liked it.

The conversation had progressed quite a bit while Parker watched Kai.

“…So I sent this request to the leader because there was some point in the way. It is because a leader with mind-reading ability is the right person to find evidence that ordinary people cannot read.”

“If you needed my strength, why not just give me orders?”

“I couldn’t force you to do something that might be a bit dangerous.”

Until then, Moobin, who had been quietly killing her temper, narrowed her eyes.

“‘Something that might be a bit dangerous’? It’s ridiculous. It means that in the end, he cleverly mixed up the request forms to keep an eye on Hwangryong.”

Kai smiled softly like a child who knew nothing.

“I hope we can see it like that. I want to avoid making Shuhanan-sama angry as much as possible.”

“I’ll try to use it while avoiding it as much as possible.”

Mubin, who was raised as a member of a great aristocratic family, was not easily swayed by the well-packaged language, even though he was usually easygoing.

“Why don’t you stop messing around behind people like that? It’s very unpleasant to see from the side.”

Kai’s melon-colored eyes looking at Mubin, who had no intention of hiding his hostility, also subsided a little.

“Hey Gong, I understand your loyalty, but don’t take it too harshly. The decision to work in the guild is not forcing anyone else, it’s Estio-sama’s own choice. The guild only provided a wide range of options. ”

In fact, there were over 200 requests from easy to difficult tasks that came to Estio. There were quests from commoners and quests from nobles. Among them, it was Estio himself who decided what kind of work he would do.

Moobin made an impression like a person who chewed shit.

“Of course, I had the belief that the leader would choose if it was a task related to the Galatia branch.”

“…Damn, that’s what he meant.”

It hasn’t been released yet, but it’s hard to ask any more. Kai simply needs Estio’s power as a guild master. It is true that she initially approached her as a combat weapon that would allow her to fight the Yellow Dragon, but she was no longer him. She knew very well that if she had intended to weaponize or harm Estio, she would not have thought of solving her quest with her so she came to visit.

“Kai.”

As the heated atmosphere has evolved, S.T.O again brought up the topic of boxes.

“I’d like to hear about the box.”

“That’s right. I’m getting older and I’m out of my mind.”

Kai burst into laughter and began to tell Estio about the artifact he had read from Sphinx’s memory.

“The official name given by the magic circle is ‘Box’. It looks like a box to hold things. The inside of the box is spacious, so you can put a lot of things in it.”

The box was a new feature artifact still in development. Interested in hearing that there is another space in the box, Parker asked a question in between.

“How much does it fit in?”

“I heard that each box has different limits, but the fact that you can even put a ship in a small box is a very surprising spatial artifact.”

The point of view that Moobin focused on listening to the story was different from Parker’s.

“That’s… a story that will change your eyes if you hear it from the Imperial Family.”

It was a practical magical artifact that would never be left unattended by the royal family of the Ruvarzan Empire with a history of enjoying power and war. However, Kai said the development of the box is not yet at the level of concern.

“However, for safety reasons, they say that living things should not be put in boxes.”

“Yes? But, Master, in this case, animals were packed in boxes and stolen…”

“I don’t know if the animals will be safe when they come out of the box again.”

It was a meaningful answer. Parker took a long breath, devastated by the cruelty of those who let them in the box without caring for any living animals.

“Oh my God. If one day someone can get inside, kidnapping and confinement may be possible without a trace.”

“Um, that must be unreasonable. Inside the box, there was an experimental result that the vital energy rapidly decreased.”

‘Experiment?’

Tsuki, who had caught the familiar word, quietly glared at Kai. She almost nailed her claws.

“Kai does it.”

At the same time, Estio was also concerned about the same part. Before the black cat raised its fur, he asked first.

“How do you know ‘box’?”

“The box is an artifact that the Imperial Wizards and the Ignis Guild are researching together.”

An answer without hesitation returned.

“I recently got a secret call from the imperial family, and I heard that some of the research boxes have been leaked.

That kind of explanation was enough. As Estio nodded, Parker summed it up in one word.

“Then your mission is, in effect, to catch the big thieves who stole the box and even the animals with it.”

“It’s clear.”

After confirming that the words he wanted to convey were conveyed properly, Kai raised his thumbs with a proud expression.

“The purpose is definitely animals, not people, right?”

“I think so. I looked through the reports I received from the Galatia branch, but there were no casualties at all.”

Strangely, they only target non-human animals. Weak and small individuals were targeted relatively less, and rare or strong animals were mainly taken. After checking the statistical data written in the report, the group gathered their heads again.

“Then I’m going to target the animals again. If I die in this tent, I’ll come back.”

“You know that the borders have become stricter, so will you come here again? Besides, there are only six left now.”

“That’s right. This time, I’ve touched a guild, not a civilian, so I don’t think it’s going to appear again after taking a risk.”

Fortunately, it was in Galasia where the criminals appeared most recently, so we needed a way to find them before they got too far away. Kai, who had been contemplating deeply, made an opinion.

“Hmm, how about trying to entice them with something appealing?”

“I don’t know if there are even unicorns, how can I get rare animals that suit their taste right now……”

The moment I spoke up to that point, everyone’s eyes turned to Neju, as if they had agreed beforehand.

“What?”

At the same time, the small cactus held by Neju also received attention.

“What. Why. What.”

Ahur, who had his thorns clenched, gave a very unpleasant expression. Then, Mubin gently tried to coax him.

“No, one bait is a little sloppy. Wouldn’t it be better to lure in groups if possible?”

“You sound like temptation! Ignoring the small cactus can lead to bloodshed.”

“Yeah, thieves may not handle plants.”

Mubin’s desire to use Ahur as a bait quickly disappeared. Unlike her picky cactus, Neju readily agreed to the bait operation.

“Are you saying it’s just to attract attention? Neju, you can do well!”

“If you are afraid or difficult on the way, please tell me. I will stop immediately.”

“Hehe, I’m not afraid at all.”

Although Estio was worried about the dangers of Operation Decoy, Neju was greatly satisfied with the fact that he had been given the role. She was a little white-haired monkey who had always wanted to be of some help. She said that she never wanted to miss the opportunity to be a part of what she does, rather than what she is doing at Estio.

“Then let’s go ahead and spread the word.”

Once the plan was laid out, Parker actively sought out and fulfilled his role. It was time to put on the delivery man’s hat.

The next day, rumors began to spread that a talking white monkey had entered the guild fauna. Parker used his skills as a delivery man in his old days to spread rumors in all directions in an instant. He pretended to deliver a letter to a bar he visited, and at every large store, he told the story of a large, strong, beautiful white-haired talking white-haired monkey entering the guild pet. After three days passed, it was almost impossible to find anyone who knew the story of Neju in any pub in the River region.

“I’m home!”

Parker, who returned from a safe tour of the area to be delivered today, got off in front of the tent of animal statues. The old man in the fauna, who found the joins lightly stomping on the ground, ‘eed’ and snorted and turned his head away.

After fainting once, the merchant woke up and started talking to Estio and others little by little. He had reduced the swearing he would have done five times to one if he had been the same. As a result, the number of words naturally decreased.

“Are you empty today?”

“Yeah, what.”

Mubin, who was guarding the entrance, responded indifferently. Neju was spending the day peacefully by Estio’s side while wearing a chain around her neck.

‘Hey, I was worried, but I’m glad.’

Parker, who thought it was a good thing that Neju didn’t seem to care that he had become the bait, was relieved and wiped the snow off his shoes.
