The Regressor and the Blind Saint

An embarrassment crept across Vera’s face.

Why?

Vera, who stood still for a moment, unable to find a word to answer the rebuke, soon after, thinking that Renee was still unaware of the progress of the matter, and continued the explanation.

The kings of the three countries were aiming for Doban by performing dangerous magic. It wasn’t just Doban. It was a car that the kings of the other four countries were also aiming for, and he knew that and could not back down. If he had retreated, those in the village below the mountain range would have been the first to be sacrificed.

The words he said one by one to convince Renee.

“… So, I went alone, thinking that what I’m going to do is for everyone else… .”

“that is!”

Those words were cut off by Renee’s shouts.

Vera made his eyes large. Renee’s words, expression, and the strength of his hands holding his clothes. It was because the emotions conveyed in it were taking the form of anger to the extent that they were too explicit.

Renee took a deep breath with a tearful face and spoke again.

“What does that matter?”

a fever rose in his head.

Vera’s excuses didn’t sound so cheesy that he got feverish.

“Vera was hurt. It was dangerous. may have died… .”

Awkward-.

Renee bit her lip. It was because of the sadness that filled him while he was speaking.

“… He may have died.”

I might be left alone

Vera watched Renee vomit over and over again, and, in embarrassment, not knowing what to do, he added:

“… sorry. But this Vera stands still. You don’t have to worry about anything… .”

“What next?”

“… Yes?”

“If this happens again next time, is there any guarantee that you will be fine then?”

Vera’s body trembled.

next.

If an enemy like Garthea appears again, will he be able to come back safely?

The battle with Garthea flashed through Vera’s mind. It was an unwinnable opponent. Isn’t he the commander of the demon king’s corps? With his current force, he was an enemy that could not be defeated by normal means, so he drew his strength with his soul as collateral.

Fortunately, he came back safely and woke up, but he could not guarantee that he would be safe if he said the next thing.

As Vera faltered, Renee continued.

“No, it’s not okay. He came back half dead. Had it not been for Sir Norn, if Vera had not been found on the spot, Vera would have been dead if it had been brought a little later. Do you want to say that you’re back to normal after leaving it that way? Do those words come out of your mouth?”

Renee still remembered it clearly.

What was the condition of Vera who returned three days ago carrying Norn, and how miserable Vera was at that moment.

“I… .”

Memories that come to mind ignite emotions. As if firewood was added to the roaring fireball, emotions begin to run rampant.

“You know how worried I am? I haven’t been able to get up for three days. No matter how much divinity I used, no matter how much I used to heal my wounds and even my inner wounds, I couldn’t get up. Vera knows that even if it’s a really big deal… . Knowing that I’ll never open my eyes again… .”

Renee’s lips trembled.

Her face was filled with tears as her emotions became so intense that she couldn’t speak any more.

Only then did Vera realize how serious his condition was.

In addition, he realized that it was René Duck, who had been taking care of him for three days, that he had woken up.

“Sorry… .”

“no.”

Renee looked at Vera who said sorry or muttered, clearing out of his mind that he wanted to hear anything like that before Vera woke up.

“Don’t do this again. Don’t move alone. Don’t go to dangerous places. If you want to go, you must go with me.”

Renee didn’t want to have this terrifying experience again. I didn’t want to tremble with the anxiety of losing Vera again.

Renee’s head became very hot, and she continued speaking without knowing what she was saying.

“not. Don’t go anywhere. just stay by my side All day, today, tomorrow, and the day after, you’re always with me. When I call, I answer, and when I reach out my hand, I grab it… !”

At one point, the words that were spit out became shouts of intense emotions.

Renee, who was taking a deep breath at him, took a short breath and finished speaking like that.

“… just by my side please… .”

tuk. Renee’s head was lodged in Vera’s chest. My whole body trembled.

Vera could not say anything at the feeling of his chest getting wet and the trembling that was transmitted, and he made a blank expression on his face.

I had to make Renee stop crying, but I had to calm him down, but Vera didn’t know how. Vera stood so blankly for a long time, his fingertips twitched, because he had killed a crying man, but had never tried to comfort him.

At the end of the day, the last thing he did was put his hand on Renee’s cheek. It was a matter of swiping down her cheeks, which were wet all over and felt damp.

It was a clumsy move.

It was a crude and careless move.

“… sorry.”

The words that came out were also words that were in the same line as they were always saying.

“I was short in thought.”

Comforting words were too difficult for Vera.

It was the first thing Vera had ever done to wipe someone’s tears away.

So, Vera frowned and intertwined the words, swallowed them repeatedly, and intermittently apologized.

“I will follow the words of the saint.”

Vera rebuked himself.

He rebuked him for not taking care of the feelings of those he was supposed to protect because he thought he had to protect his morals.

Vera recalled his sorrowful mind that Renee had considered dangerous, but had not thought that Renee would have to suffer so much because of his wounded self.

It felt like my stomach was being crushed.

It felt so heavy to be worried about others, and it was so clear that someone might be hurting my own misery, and it felt like my breathing was choking.

It was the weight of life for others.

It was the weight of the work for the people behind their backs.

Plus, Vera was a weight he had never felt before.

At this moment, Vera realized that keeping the body was not just making the body whole, it was taking care of their heart as well.

Renee, who had been overheated after not sleeping properly for several days, fell asleep after crying for a long time.

Renee woke up again the next morning.

The first thing Renee did after waking up was to ‘pop’ the blanket.

“Aaaah!”

After taking a proper rest, it was done while thinking about the day before with a cool head.

Renee felt her whole body twisted at the words she had said.

– Don’t go anywhere.

Boom-!

– Just stay by my side.

Boom-!

– Stay with me.

Boom-!

They were words that just couldn’t be skipped over.

Renee thought.

‘Hey, this is perfect… !’

it’s a confession

“Kyaaaah… .”

I was ashamed. It was shameful. I wanted to die.

Renee lay on the bed and banged her head on the pillow, letting out a shriek.

Why?

While that thought came to mind.

‘… no!’

Renee made up her mind to think in a positive way.

Maybe it was an opportunity. Yeah, isn’t that what you were hoping for? Of course, I didn’t want to see Vera again when I went out alone and came back half-dead! I never wanted to go through that again! Since it ended safely like this, shouldn’t it be viewed as an opportunity?

Maybe with this! Any chance! Vera might become conscious of himself!

The two get closer to a dramatic event. At the end of the day, your heart will work!

… Rene, who had been thinking about this, suddenly shuddered as she recalled what she had done the day before.

Either he fell on Vera’s chest, crawled on the floor, ran away as soon as he heard Vera’s voice, or hugged his waist and put his head in his arms… .

‘Bee, Vera… .’

wiped his cheek

Wrath-!

Renee’s face turned red.

His hand reached his cheek, stroking the area Vera had been sweeping.

thud. thud. My heart started beating fast.

Like that, Renee, who raised the corners of her lips and groaned alone.

– I’m just by your side. please… .

He recalled the words he had said again and banged his head on the pillow again! put it down

The scream that came out of his mouth echoed in a squashed form, crushed by the pillow.

“Gyaaaaa-.”

right next to the bed.

Aisha, who had come to wake Renee, kept her mouth shut and thought as she watched the scene.

I thought that it was very fortunate that Renee had regained his energy.

Doban’s forge.

Dovan sat in front of the anvil and looked at Vera.

Suddenly, a smile came to my mind when I saw that she had recovered completely and was rejuvenated. I feel like my stomach, which I’ve been struggling with for the past few days, is relieved in an instant.

However, in the midst of all this, Dovan remembered that he must convey these words to Vera.

“I’m sorry.”

The thought that he might have encouraged Vera could not be subsided.

“It seems that the words I did without knowing what I was doing made me wonder. I want to apologize.”

Vera looked at Doban’s expression for a moment, then shook his head.

“There is nothing to be sorry about. Rather, I want to say thank you.”

Vera’s head turned downward.

“thank you. Thank you for enlightening me.”

It wasn’t perfect. Stupid and lacking, he made the choice to face Gartea alone at that moment. There were people who were worried about it.

However, something has changed nonetheless.

Vera is now a man who can figure out what he can do for himself.

I was able to understand more about keeping it.

I gained confidence that I could become a better person.

I will not repeat the same mistake. If this happened again, then I wouldn’t worry about it alone.

Vera, with his head bowed and recounting his promise, then uttered an apology.

“… And I’m sorry.”

“What do you mean?”

“The sword… .”

The demon sword he took to fight Gartea. It was an apology for crushing it.

“… It’s broken.”

Dovan smirked at Vera’s apology at best, then shook his head.

“What’s the point of that piece of iron? I feel reassured enough to wake up from being robbed like this.”

Dovan, who was speaking, added those words to the figure of Vera, who was still bowing his head.

“Raise your head. I just want to say thank you.”

Doban’s lips twitched. A smile appeared on his face. It was a smile that should be called remorse.

When Vera raised his head and tilted his head at the expression, Dovan continued with a smirk.

“It was an unfinished sword. I know myself best. I had no intention of putting it in my sword, so I probably couldn’t finish it for the rest of my life.”

Holding on to that sword was ultimately regretful.

It was only after I found out that the sword was broken that I realized it with the relief that came to me.

“Thank you. For letting go of my regrets.”

Doban cleared his regrets right in front of his eyes. In addition, I felt grateful to Vera for letting me know the meaning I really wanted to contain instead of regrets.

“Sir, can you wait a few days?”

“… What do you mean?”

Dovan’s gaze turned to Froden, which he had placed on the anvil.

“I think I can finish it.”

I found the meaning I really wanted to contain. He seemed to be able to achieve his dream.

Doban smiled slightly as he looked at the cold Froden’s blade.

“I’ll give you my best sword.”

What stood in his words was a firm conviction that didn’t show a single hesitation.
