I Became a Blind Swordsman at the Academy chapter 137

137. You’ve changed a lot since I couldn’t see you, Leon (完)

After that, Ray and Zeppetti’s fashion show began.

I don’t know if Zeppetti has a great eye or if they have good clothes, but most of the clothes go well with them.

Je Petty stands in front of a full-length mirror and examines her clothes.

The identity of the ‘little sister’ she refers to is still unclear, but she does look like her younger sister.

It was definitely a store that sold women’s clothing, but due to the nature of Innocence Academy, there were few stores specializing in children’s clothing due to the small number of children, so it was fortunate that they also sold children’s clothing.

At this point, Edward left after choosing clothes for his wife, Vanessa Klaus.

“Eh…”

Ray had been changing her clothes in a half-fascinated state for some time.

For a man, ‘shopping’ is not only difficult, but also a tedious and long journey.

But there was no way Zepetty knew this.

Whether Ray was struggling or not, she informed her that she had enough funds, so Petty didn’t miss an hour’s attention, looking at the clothes in her store and choosing her clothes.

Ray argued and asked if two sets of her clothes would be enough, but Ze Petty’s lengthy rebuttal immediately followed.

“You’re cute, Ray.”

She gave compliments to Ray who came out wearing her clothes.

“…Hmm, even though I can’t see it.”

Ray just pouted her mouth.

Yeah, anyway, it was a pointless remark that would only sound like a joke to others.

On the other side of her, my Petty glances at me three times and looks at me. She was also the only person I knew I could see.

Why does she say she has no praise for herself?

“Zepetti is pretty too.”

At my continued praise, Zeppetti, the ‘little sister’, smiles brightly.

A perfect smile like an angel.

Are you really happy?

Is it acting?

When I have time, I’ll ask Zeppetti. I’m so confused right now

“…”

As a bonus, the store owner’s strange eyes are directed at me.

It may seem strange that a blind man with bandages wrapped around his eyes is praising his appearance.

[ … ]

Is it the same for Sierra?

She was silently glancing at me with her eyebrows raised.

“Of course, Master is the prettiest. hahahaha.”

I decided to help with one more word since it seemed strange to the shop owner.

[ Write, useless sound…! Where other people are, what now…]

Sierra’s ears were stained red as she struggled with her arms and expressed embarrassment.

As she said, the one word she said now was a joke that would make the ‘store owner’ look like a lunatic, even if they didn’t know about Zeppetti and Ray.

How about it?

When I started joking, I just wanted to say something I couldn’t normally say.

“…Your brother is so kind…?”

Anyway, it’s a joke you won’t be able to use often.

Time passed, and Petty’s shopping continued until her clothing store had to close.

A dark night, it was almost dawn when I left the store with clothes from my ‘younger brothers’ in my hand.

Oh, I could have put it in my pocket, but it was Petty’s opinion to play the older brother who helped her younger sisters shop.

It wasn’t too heavy or difficult just because I lifted some clothes, so I decided to keep quiet.

She thought she would meet someone she knew while walking around the city, but he met only Edward.

‘I will have to introduce my younger brother to my ‘friends’ sometime. How will they react?’

I don’t know yet.

So I crossed the street where people stopped walking and headed for the dormitory.

Men’s dormitory.

A place where women are forbidden to enter.

We didn’t get a separate permit tonight… So we had to climb over the fence.

“Not much.”

Ray, who was looking at a wall much taller than he was, leaped.

It was a leap that she hadn’t even thought about wearing a skirt.

“You can see all your underwear, hero. It was not like a little sister at all.”

I can hear Ray’s young voice over the fence.

“There’s no one to see anyway.”

From Ray’s point of view, it wasn’t so wrong. Then, Zeppetti makes a ‘younger sister-like’ leap.

Je Petty, standing tall on top of a lightly tall fence, looks down at Ray who is beyond her fence.

“…Like this.”

“Everything.”

As expected, the fence didn’t seem to be a problem for them.

It was the day when a new ‘resident’ was born in the house.

***

After bringing Jeppetti and Ray home, there has been a big change in my daily life.

First, there was no need to go out to eat.

She hurriedly bought the ingredients in the morning after Je Petty said that she could make anything as long as she bought the ingredients.

The menu was simple fried rice.

If there is a menu you want to eat, please let me know anytime.

The second is that the quiet house has become noisy.

“Hero, an unbalanced diet is not good. A growing warrior needs to take in various nutrients.”

“Hmm… Broccoli doesn’t taste good.”

Ray grumbled as he pushed the chopped broccoli out of the fried rice with a spoon.

Aren’t warriors also unbalanced?

Ray seemed unable to resist easily against her youthful body in many ways.

She likes candy, or she has to sleep with something in her arms even when she sleeps…

By the way, the bed was moved by me.

My Petty showed extreme opposition, saying that this was unacceptable, but she couldn’t overcome my orders.

I don’t know why Ray, who must have lived a rough life in the land of demons when he was a warrior in the past, can eat an unbalanced diet, but Zepetty looks troubled, so I’ll try to help him.

“I’ll give you candy when you finish your broccoli. How are you?”

At my suggestion, Ray secretly glanced at me.

“…How many.”

I spread my two fingers at Ray’s solemn voice.

Then Ray shook her head.

“Not enough.”

“Hero, too much sugar can lead to tooth decay.”

“Ha, what a cavity… What do you think a warrior is?”

“Zetto, are ‘heroes’ creatures that do not develop cavities?”

“…That I don’t know.”

Another dizzying conversation continues. If I left Zepetty and Ray alone, I felt like this all the time.

“Ha, I’ll make you satisfied with just two.”

Ray, who was crossing her arms, raises the spoon again.

Ray collects broccoli in a spoon and puts it in his mouth.

The rather noisy meal came to an end, and I told them what they had to do today.

It was said that an even more thorough acting was needed since he had decided to meet with the chairman of the board, Hubert Graham, from the morning.

“So you’re saying that the guy called the chairman is the king of this Innocence Academy?

“You should see that for now.”

“Sage, where is Obert going?”

“That was already hundreds of years ago. Now the Graham family is running the academy. It’s probably a family that had a close relationship with the wise man in the old days.”

“Hey… Graham, I’ve never heard of that family.”

From the other side of her, I hear Ray’s voice changing her clothes.

Doesn’t she, who was her hero, not know that well?

The Graham family was a very secretive family.

This was also the case with the person named Hubert Graham, the chairman of the board.

Still, since he showed a lot of interest in me to the point of preparing a separate gift for me, wouldn’t the conversation go well?

I hope nothing goes wrong.

***

Jetto’s room was spacious and very luxurious.

Oddly, the angles of the objects were aligned without being disturbed, and the reason was that it was easy to remember the location.

Since meeting Jeto, she seems to have indirectly experienced the life of a blind person.

There was a lack of furniture because it was a house I lived in alone, but money was not a problem, so it would be okay if I put it in.

The bed was comfortable and cozy, so I slept well for the first time in a while.

I couldn’t sleep well for the past few days, so there was a time when I almost got on Jeto’s back.

Wouldn’t Jeto be asking if he would ride on his back while he was rubbing his eyes?

She must have faithfully performed the role of ‘Brother’ as he did, but she refused with her eyes wide open.

A hero is riding on a man’s back?

There were no such figures.

The only time I’ll be carried on someone’s back is when I’m seriously injured.

Anyway, according to Jeto’s explanation, the dormitory has different rooms assigned to each class, and it seems that the cadets’ classes are divided through strict competition, and those with good skills receive better treatment.

It is said that the academy does not discriminate between statuses. Even if the prince of the empire came to visit, he would stand in the same position as commoners with similar strength.

A frighteningly cold competitive society.

Unexpectedly, I thought it was a structure that was not very like Oberth.

‘The strongest, in the end, force is everything.’ I was the one who lived with such words.

After listening to Zeto’s explanation, he argued that it seems to have taken into account the fact that I, a hero, was a commoner.

What if it’s like that?

I was a little embarrassed, so I swiped my nose.

Jetto and I left the room early in the morning and arrived at the main building of the academy.

Is this the legacy left by my colleague, Oberth?

Is it because he has been good at making things since the old days?

A sense of sublimity was felt from the magnificently sized pure white outer wall.

Son, you did a good job.

With that in mind, I entered the building.

Early in the morning, it was not school time, so there weren’t too many cadets, but the cadets passing by glanced at me and Zepetty next to Jeto and whispered.

“What are they?”

“Is Jeto with you?”

“So cute…”

He seemed to be quite popular.

It may have been natural since his appearance did not hide his gisaeng brother-like appearance even though his eyes were covered.

I never thought I’d be okay with being told that I’m cute.

I used to be very popular too… I had to soothe the bitterness in my mouth with candy.

Walking along such a quiet hallway, I was on my way to my destination, the ‘Chairman’s Office’.

A picture hanging in a corner of the hallway catches my eye.

“This is…”

In the hallway hung a picture that was so familiar to me. It was a picture drawn by the members of the past warrior party.

‘This painting was held by Oberth.’

In the center of the painting, Leon’s smile with his teeth exposed stood out.

Memories run through my head at the time I was drawing.

It was such a picture where only the face of the dragonot was drawn strangely because the exhausted dragonaught stood still in the middle and left the room.

It was a picture I drew before going on to subdue the demon lord. At this time, everyone wasn’t even close, so the awkwardness stood out in everyone’s expressions.

Have you been preserving this painting for hundreds of years?

It was a little thrilling to see Oberth’s sincerity.

“Is something wrong?”

Jetto, who was walking in front of me, stopped following me and asked me.

Zepetti kept the picture in his eyes without saying anything. Even if you don’t know Zepetty, it must be difficult to explain ‘painting’ to Zeto.

“No, brother… Let’s go.”

I wiped away the tears that had formed out of nowhere.

I didn’t want to cry, but tears leaked without my knowledge.

This is all because I became a child.

It means that the tear glands are not well controlled.

That’s why, obviously.

Jeto tilted his head once and started walking away again.

I followed him across the hallway and eventually came across the ‘Chairman’s Office’.

I gulped.

I was a little nervous.

Can I show the perfect little sister acting?

Even though he is the chairman of the board, Jeto is an unusual person, so he asked for special attention.

Zepetti was already wearing a ‘little sister’ face.

Yes.

I also put on the face of my younger sister.

ㅡ Smart.

Jetto knocked on the door.

Then a man’s grave voice is heard from inside the door.

“Come in.”

Permission was given, and Zeppetti and I followed Jeto into the room.

The chairman’s office was an ordinary office.

There are several bookshelves, and a sofa for entertaining people.

And the man behind the desk at the end of the middle stood looking out the window.

A woman who appeared to be a ‘secretary’ next to him bowed her head to us.

Then her gaze stopped at Zeppetti. Petty also tilts her head, her gaze completely fixed on her.

I wondered what the two of them were doing for the first time, but around that time, the voice of a man who appeared to be ‘Chairman’ continued.

“Sit down. I heard a little bit about you from Edward last night.”

“Thank you. Then it will be easy to talk.”

“I had a good instructor in charge, heh heh. Did I say younger sister?”

As he said that and turned his head away from the window, Jeto asked us to introduce ourselves.

“Yes. This way…”

“My name is Zeppetti.”

Ze Petty floated her rhyme first and bowed her head.

“hahahaha, what a cute little sister.”

“…My name is Ray.”

After giving a formal compliment, the chairman’s eyes turned to me, and I immediately lowered my head.

Are you like a younger sister?

It was when I raised my head with that thought in mind.

“…”

The chairman and I meet eyes.

“Huh…”

Instantly, the chairman opened his mouth with a bewildered expression and blinked his eyes.

Did I do something wrong?

It was a simple answer.

It was absolutely not a line that would show that she was not a younger sister.

But the chairman opens his mouth.

“Your sister… Must be…?”

“hahahaha, they are not actually related by blood.”

“No… Well… It was, it was…”

The president’s reaction was very strange.

Have you ever lacked the ‘younger sister’?

She said that she was a sharp person.

I urgently hugged Jeto and shouted.

“I am Zeto’s younger brother…!”
