The Regressor and the Blind Saint

That evening, Vera looked at the ‘Lecture Application’ that came in front of him and Renee, and raised his confusion.

It was because there was a feeling of Teresa’s will in the document, ‘don’t even think about running away’.

Vera, who was given a homework assignment he had never heard of before, to learn how to be a child, felt a headache for nothing.

‘… Six.’

There are 6 subjects that can be taken. There were three subjects to choose from.

That’s why we decided together with Renee to choose 3 of the 6 subjects that each of us wanted to listen to together.

A sigh escaped Vera’s mouth.

I was in a rush because I was told to submit it within today.

So, at the thought of ‘what should I choose’, Vera’s expression darkened and frowned again.

“Did you pick all Vera?”

Renee’s voice rang out. Vera responded in a tone of concern to the words he had heard.

“… I haven’t decided yet.”

“Is that right? I’m really struggling with what to listen to.”

“Is it not even the saints who chose them all?”

“Yes, there are so many things I want to hear, but there are only three to choose from.”

The bright smile that bloomed on Renee’s face as he answered.

Vera uttered those words without realizing it as Renee was struggling with the opposite of his own.

“It doesn’t matter if the saint chooses them all… .”

“ハ-.”

Cock-.

Renee stabbed Vera in the back.

“It’s the homework that Theresa gave to Vera. It is a bad thing to hand over your work to someone else.”

As he spoke in an adult-like tone of a child, Vera’s mouth squeaked.

“… sorry.”

“Choose it quickly. Now I just have to choose one more.”

“Yes.”

Vera’s gaze turned to the lecture application again.

In that way, Vera, who became a face who gave up halfway through contemplation, chose ‘Introduction to Advanced Swordsmanship’, ‘The History of the Gods’, and ‘Introduction to Advanced Swordsmanship’.

The history of the new generation was chosen out of personal curiosity, and the other two were picked up with the thought that if you were to choose, you should choose what you can do well.

“… I have chosen them all.”

“Me too.”

Vera turned his head to look at Renee smiling and continued his question.

“What subject did you choose?”

“The history of gastronomy, real gourmet food, and relaxation through meditation.”

tremble-.

Vera’s body trembled.

“… You seem to be quite interested in food.”

“yes! Because eating good food makes you feel good. ah… The sherbet I had with Vera in the Empire was really good.”

Vera’s eyes narrowed. I must be referring to the pure white sherbet I ate at the restaurant.

‘I don’t usually say that it’s delicious.’

Those words hit his chin, but Vera didn’t make the mistake of spitting it out, knowing that taste is ultimately in the realm of the subject.

However, it was such a question.

“You made a very unexpected choice. I thought you would definitely choose something related to magic or divinity.”

If it’s Renee, it’s like Renee, but for some reason, the thought came to mind that the subject selection was quite erratic.

“I’m still here to learn. I think it’s better to learn what you don’t know than what you already know.”

Renee smiled and shrugged her shoulders, and her white hair fluttered like waves.

“And it looks fun, doesn’t it?”

What a naive answer.

Vera’s eyes slowly began to widen at it.

At the same time, shame was rising inside. He was ashamed of his own decision.

It was because I remembered that I was ashamed of myself for turning my attention to what I was good at, even though I had been advised not to go the only way I knew a few hours ago.

“What did Vera choose?”

Vera hesitated for a moment, unable to answer the question, and then spoke out.

“… Lady, could you give me a little more time?”

“yes? Yes, take it slow.”

“thank you.”

Having answered, Vera looked at the application with a clouded expression on his face. And then I thought again.

‘… Learning attitude.’

How to get to a road you don’t know.

How to be a wise man, not a stupid coward.

‘How to become a human being who knows how to go into the unknown.’

Vera erased the thought. I erased the gain and loss of understanding.

Because if you think like you have always done, you will become a human who can only produce the same results, and you will end up confining yourself in a well.

Vera erased all the reason that was in him, and thought of only one thing, ‘interest’, from the thoughts he emptied and emptied.

Fortunately, there was a bit of a craving for them that Vera himself was not aware of.

Vera bought a handful of unknowns and lifted them up. Then it unfolded.

what looks interesting What are some things you don’t know yet and want to know a little bit?

Vera, who kept thinking about only that, deleted ‘Introduction to Advanced Swordsmanship’ and ‘Introduction to Advanced Swordsmanship’ and wrote two subjects next to it.

The ones I chose were ‘Introduction to Snowball Fight’ and ‘Introduction to Cockfighting’.

… Of course, he was rejected by Renee, who made a very subtle expression to express in words.

*

the next morning.

Renee, with the help of the apprentice priests, put on the academy uniform, then took a deep breath and asked a question.

“how about it? Does it suit you?”

Rene’s cheeks were red as she spoke. The corners of his lips were drawing arcs the whole time, revealing a happy state instead.

The act of wearing a school uniform and experiencing the same life as other people through it was a reaction that made me so excited.

In the meantime, the answers to the questions asked were also things that heightened René’s mood even more.

“It fits perfectly. That’s enough to get rid of the Academy’s first place in beauty!”

Annie made a fuss with her characteristic lively voice.

“It’s fresh. Well, you just look like a student.”

Hela answered in a serious tone.

“I want to wear a school uniform too!”

Aisha seemed to want to wear a school uniform.

Renee giggled and nodded at Aisha’s words mixed in with the compliments that followed.

“Then let’s get Aisha ready.”

“yes!”

“Oh, Annie. Is Vera here?”

“Yes, you just came. I think you should go right away.”

At Annie’s answer, the smile that appeared on Renee’s face grew deeper.

“Then I will go.”

“yes.”

Renee turned and walked away.

Just right. Just right.

The cane made a light sound and hit the floor as it passed. Renee’s steps were also making light movements in line with the sound.

widely-!

The stick hit the wall. Rene, who felt it, reached out for a hand, finds the doorknob, grabs it, and turns it.

“Did you have a good night?”

Vera’s voice rang out.

Renee accepted the words, making the smile that came to mind even deeper.

“Yes, what about Vera?”

“It has been a good rest.”

“It’s good. What is your first class?”

In response, Vera placed his hands on top of what he said naturally with his hands outstretched in front of him.

“This is an introduction to advanced techniques.”

“It was chosen by Vera.”

“… Yes.”

Vera’s voice as he answered the question had an indescribable gloom.

Why does a voice like that come out? Rene, who was contemplating about it, immediately remembered two subjects that she had rejected as the cause.

The next thought that comes to mind is, ‘Maybe I didn’t respect Vera’s opinion’.

As a result, the excitement I had been feeling before began to subside a little. It was because of the thought that he might be selfishly military.

René, who had come to the conclusion that Vera had regrets about the two rejected subjects, then came up with such a question.

‘… Did you want to hear that?’

Introduction to snowball fights and cockfights.

A subject that I do not understand why there is such a subject, and that it is inappropriate to take a course just thinking about cancer.

‘… Cancer though.’

It’s not a snowball fight or a cockfight, is it?

To be honest, I was curious about what it was like to teach in an introduction, but all I could think of was that there would be no place to learn and use it.

Renee said that he had made the right decision, and moved on, correcting his shaky heart.

*

Vera walked around the campus holding Renee’s hand, reciting what he saw around him.

“The overall scenery you see is very green. The buildings aren’t green, but the gray and white buildings are overgrown with vines, giving it that feeling. Also, the large road in the middle of the campus is highlighted in white, giving the building a feeling of being blended into the surrounding landscape.”

What appears while speaking is a sign of hardening.

No matter how much I live as a student, everyone in the academy now knows that Renee is a saint, so I thought that I had to prepare for an unfortunate accident.

‘The eyes are drawn.’

So far, only curiosity or surprise had been captured, but it was too early to be relieved.

“The color of the tie or brooch is different for each group of students you see. Perhaps that color is the standard for classifying grades, so it is possible to guess.”

So, while Vera, who had been vigilant about the surroundings, continued to speak with a firm expression, those words suddenly came out of Ren, who had been listening the whole time.

“Vera.”

“Yes.”

“… Sorry.”

“… Yes?”

Vera’s head turned to Renee.

Renee in a navy blue school uniform was a little… No, he was talking with his head down with a very shy face.

“Vera’s best choice of subjects, he rejected them all.”

Vera’s head tilted.

Because I had already forgotten all about it, the reason I thought ‘suddenly?’

“… no. In the first place, they were chosen based on simple interest.”

“still… .”

“What the saint said was 100 times right. The first thing I had to choose was a subject that I could participate in ‘together’, so it was my mistake in choosing a subject that the saint could not participate in.”

Consolation expressed in the most gentle words possible.

Seeing that René’s expression softened, Vera added in a tone of embarrassment.

“More than that, I’m sorry. It’s my fault that you took the class.”

“no!”

Renee lifted her head, startled by Vera’s words, and continued.

“I’m really happy to be able to attend the class!”

“However… .”

“stop.”

Vera’s mouth shut.

Renee let out a small smile when he saw Vera shut his mouth, then added:

“I really wanted to do it. going to school I wanted to learn like everyone else, meet people, and be like that, but thanks to Vera, I was able to try everything, so I’m rather grateful.”

Vera’s gaze ran over Renee.

It wasn’t like he was telling a lie.

When Renee is really happy, she smiles so deep that her dimples pierce her eyes.

Vera felt a sense of gratitude to Renee for being with us and enjoying it, so he spoke briefly.

“thank you.”

“Thank you, it’s fine.”

“… Yes.”

“And Vera.”

“Say it.”

“Have you not told me anything yet?”

Renee’s head turned to Vera. The out-of-focus blue pupil was slightly obscured as Renee smiled.

Vera pondered for a moment about what Renee meant, then came up with an answer and spoke.

“Your uniform suits you well.”

Renee nodded with satisfaction.

“good job.”

“It’s overrated.”

“What.”

Renee, who made the reply, turned his head forward again, and quietly licked his lips like a prey, looking for the next opportunity.

‘I tried to cross my arms if I couldn’t fit it.’

He said he would stop temptation, but if Vera did something wrong, wouldn’t it be okay to do it in the sense of punishment?

Of course, Vera, reassured that there would be no temptations today, was ignorant of his heart.
