I Became a Blind Swordsman at the Academy chapter 192

192. True Confession – Part 1 End –

A lot of people came to see Zeto’s condition.

Starting with the instructors of the academy, principal Juliut, president Hubert and Herald, as well as residents of the city such as Rumbo and Ram.

Magredo, the spiritist who seemed to be meeting after a very long time.

Sword Saint Chris laughed and slapped his back at Jeto’s words that he would not let go of his sword.

Anthony and his daughter Emilia, who said they were fortunate enough to have a miracle happen.

The one I was meeting was Daedroth.

He didn’t come to the funeral because he couldn’t help laughing.

“…You’ve been quite reckless, mortal. No… Should I call you immortal now?”

Dedros, who was looking at Zeto with his arms crossed, jokes.

“hahahaha, whatever it is, it’s not anymore.”

“Why didn’t you use all your strength? At this point, you should have regained both your arms and lost sight…”

“I think it was… I couldn’t help it. But I have no regrets.”

“Hmm…”

If that’s what he meant.

Dedros drooled and slowly turned his head.

“Anyway, is it true that he came to meet the main god? From what I’ve heard, he seems to be revered and called ‘the one who returned from paradise’…”

“It’s true. I didn’t expect it either.”

Jetto nodded in affirmation.

“…How did you, who have no divine power, meet Heneris? It’s a strange thing.”

“Well, I don’t know. They told me to break the ‘bridle’?”

Jetto shrugged his shoulders and said it without thinking.

“Bridle…?”

However, Daedroth couldn’t let go of those words so easily.

Because there was a point to point out separately.

“……”

Dadros, who had been narrowing his eyes so much, was staring at Jeto.

The last guest arrives at the infirmary.

“…You are a saint.”

Deidros, who arrived at the door and confirmed her face, stood up and bowed her head respectfully.

As expected, it was the innocent Saint Bernice who came to see Jeto last.

Unlike her funeral, Bernice was an official visit this time, so she was wearing a pure white dress that was her symbol.

A number of knights in silver armor were visible around her.

“There must have been a passenger. I’m sure… Did you say Thomas?”

Bernice, who remembered Daedroth’s face, said so.

“Yes, I’m honored to remember you.”

“Looks like you’ve been having a conversation.”

“No, I just finished our conversation and was about to leave. I’ll give you a seat.”

“Oh, I see…”

“Then excuse me.”

Day de Loss passes by the saintess and avoids her place. His doubts stopped immediately, but it was not a very urgent matter.

“May Heneris bless you for your future.”

Bernice gave a light blessing to Deidros, who was willing to give up her seat, and she immediately turned her head toward Jetto.

“I want to talk quietly with you two. Is that okay?”

“Then we will guard the outside for a while.”

Ines, the captain of the knights, replied.

Soon after, Bernice entered her infirmary, and she quietly closed the door and slowly approached Jetto.

“Saint…”

“…I missed you, Jetto.”

***

“Are you okay…?”

“The medical officer said there was no big problem.”

Jetto was lying on the bed and laughing.

Ah, I missed you.

That smile.

I was happy.

It seemed that the happiness that had been taken away was regained.

Nevertheless, I couldn’t help the mess that kept floating in my mouth.

“It would have been better if all the miracles had been returned intact…”

His arm did not return.

Likewise, his blind eyes were still there.

“It’s okay.”

There was no lie in his voice as he tried to smile and said he was okay.

He had no complaints whatsoever.

He was only spouting the truth.

“…I said something stupid.”

Like he had lost the light of the world before.

He just silently accepted it again.

I should have been thankful that I was revived, but the human heart is so cunning and ugly that I hope for something bigger.

“Thank you. Thanks to the saintess…”

Jetto thanked me with a smile.

“…I don’t have the ability to bring people back to life. It’s all a miracle performed by the Goddess.”

I told the truth.

I thought he should know too.

Nevertheless, Jetto shook his head.

“No. If the saintess hadn’t been there, there wouldn’t have been a ‘miracle.’

The corners of his mouth naturally went up at the warm ‘truth’ he spat out.

“I’m so glad I did.”

As I watched his kind smile, I finally understood the meaning of the Lord.

Heneris-nim must have prepared this path for me.

After losing it, I knew.

How precious he was to me.

What did he mean to me?

The world without him was dark and dark.

I wanted to be a beacon of light in his world, but I wasn’t.

He was the light of my world.

He was my lamp.

“…Jeto.”

“I’m listening, saintess.”

“There is something I must tell you.”

“Hmm… You mean people from the Holy Land are coming? I’ve heard of that already.”

“No, I didn’t come here for work today. Today’s visit is my personal business.”

“The Saint’s…Personal…”

“That doesn’t mean that as a saint, I don’t want to talk to the knight of the saint.”

I wanted to tell you before it’s too late.

“Could you call me… By my first name…?”

I had to tell him my ‘truth’, the ‘truth’ I had been hiding.

“…Bernice.”

Perhaps it was because he wasn’t used to it, he called me in a slightly timid voice.

That was enough for now.

You’ll know what that means right away.

“Jetto, you… You…”

Even though the words he was about to say weren’t lies, his lips didn’t come apart.

His face flushed.

Maybe it was a natural reaction.

Not as a saint, but as a woman.

Of course it was a very embarrassing thing.

It took courage.

“…I like you.”

I was finally able to spit it out.

“I really… Like it very much…”

After saying that, I bowed my head.

I didn’t have the confidence to face him.

…I confessed.

My heart was pounding. The heat on his face showed no sign of cooling down.

An answer will come soon.

I hesitated whether I should cover my ears.

Even though I had already checked his mind before, I was afraid that I might hear an unwanted answer.

It was a short wait, less than a few seconds.

However, that short time felt like an eternity, so I couldn’t stand it and opened my mouth again.

“…As expected, it must be embarrassing. A sudden confession…”

“It was embarrassing… But…”

I closed my eyes tightly.

Would it have been better to take a little more time to express your feelings? I should have set a little more atmosphere.

I wonder if it was too one-sided.

It was a time when all sorts of regrets passed through my head.

“…I didn’t hate it.”

I opened my eyes at the sound of his voice.

Jetto was smiling broadly.

“I really like Bernice too.”

“…Really? Is that true?”

I asked urgently.

At this, Jeto asked back.

“You can check with authority, right?”

“Ah…”

“I like you, Bernice.”

Then his confession rang in my ears once more.

“……”

I kept my mouth shut.

I remembered his voice, the echo.

In fact, I already knew it wasn’t a lie.

I just couldn’t believe it, I was so incredibly happy… I just wanted to hear it one more time.

“Well, it seems to be going well.”

“…Do you really think so?”

“Just trust me.”

After taking a bite of the fruit, Jetto said, ‘Zepetti is so worried that it’s a mask.’ I muttered something like that.

Ray and Zepetty visit Zeto’s hospital visit.

Ray had been sleeping on the bed hugging Shady at some point, and Zeppetti and Jetto were on the roof of the building to talk closely about the current situation.

“…What was Sierra’s reaction?”

“The atmosphere is a bit scary, but he doesn’t say much…”

“…Is it right to say it’s okay?”

Zepetti sighed while saying that.

She judged that the reason Sierra could be still now was because she had an unimaginable tolerance.

One of the reasons was that she was able to directly feel how much others cared for him because of this incident.

Sierra can’t do much, so even so, she may have taken the ‘progress’ too far with the others.

I was expecting this to some extent, but I thought it might have gone too far.

Zepetti was concerned about that.

“I couldn’t help it. Everyone was making sad faces. I had to make them happy…”

Jetto tried to say that to Zepetty, who was sighing, but that was more of a problem.

In the end, Zeppetti opened his mouth to explain this.

“Zetto… It’s good to pursue their happiness, but do you know what emotions will follow behind their happiness?”

“Well… Isn’t it nice to be happy?”

“…”

Zepetti shook his head.

She knew.

She knew better because it was probably the first emotion she felt.

“…The more happy you are, the more ‘anxiety’ you’ll feel. That’s right… Because they’ve already lost once. The reason they’re happy, and everything that made them happy, is Zeto. I have a history of leaving the world once…”

As if Zeto understood Zeppetti’s explanation, he spat out a single word like ‘Ah…’.

“On the contrary, it’s a problem because they’re happy. Right now, they seem peaceful as if nothing will happen… But they’ll realize that sooner or later.”

The present calm heralded the coming storm.

Sooner or later, their love will be spoiled.

With the feeling of ‘obsession’ mixed with anxiety and jealousy.
