I Became a Blind Swordsman at the Academy chapter 230

230. East, Hwaguk (18)

There is a jelly on the sole of the little fox’s foot.

Everything depends not only on foxes, but also on dogs and cats, and even on Shady, but the softness of Miho’s thick jelly was on a different level.

Miho’s recovery was successful.

As expected, Miho forced herself to reveal her fox marbles and ran out of control, but thanks to the rain pouring down without knowing how to stop, she was able to subdue them without any casualties.

The traitor’s ‘Wonyo’ has not yet been recovered, but three out of the four limited expresses have been successfully retrieved, so if nothing else happens, Wonyo will be recovered safely.

After that, he returned to Hwayusa Temple in Hwajeong and took care of Miho for a while.

The reason why I am taking care of Miho in such a sacred place is because Miho did not intend to leave me.

“You’re still here.”

Soon after, a woman approached me cautiously and spoke to her.

An elegant yet neat gait.

This voice was Hino, a priestess from the country of fire.

“This guy won’t fall.”

“Huh, for that kind of thing, you’re having a good time with Miho? Miho was harassing the visitors to Wonche Hwayusa Temple, so it was a mess, but you seemed to like it.”

Hino looked at Miho, who was lying on her stomach on my lap, and smiled faintly.

The smile was also very brief.

She said she would come back because she had some business to see, but when Hino came back, her expression was not good.

Hino’s face looked thoughtful as she stared at the gray sky where her rain was pouring down.

“Is something wrong?”

“…Why?”

“The succession ceremony is right around the corner, but it doesn’t sound like a happy voice.”

“Well… I had some bad news.”

“Hmm…”

“I’m sorry. It’s something that shouldn’t be easily known to the people of China, let alone outsiders.”

I thought I knew what news was coming.

It seems that Volk succeeded in assassinating the leader, Baku.

It is true that Baku is dead, judging from his reluctance to comment, but with Baku’s death, some of his mysterious plans have been revealed.

‘I wonder if they found traces of the overthrow of the state or the taboo ‘seonbeop’.’

I haven’t killed Baku at this time, so I can’t predict exactly what happened, but I guess that’s what happened.

It was a good thing for me because things wouldn’t get bigger thanks to that.

All I could do for Hino right now was listen to her rain and stay by her side.

Her past few years must have been rough for her as well.

I handed Miho into Hino’s arms as she looked up at the sky with sad eyes.

[ Big… ]

In the end, Sierra’s fingertips tremble because she has never touched her Miho. She had been trying her best to touch her since earlier, but unfortunately she couldn’t reach Miho.

Sierra picked up Shady, who was lying on top of my head, and was touching his jelly.

“Still, half a penny is no longer a shaman.”

Miho seemed to feel comfortable in Hino’s arms, so she curled up her tail and body, and she yawned as if she fell asleep soon.

However, what can be known for sure now is that Hino possesses the qualities of a shrine maiden.

“Your credit is great.”

“It would have happened if it wasn’t for me.”

“…You are humble.”

“It’s not like that, it’s true.”

That one thing was true.

Even if you don’t help Hwaguk recover the Shinsoo, the Shinsoo will be retrieved. Instead, the problem must have been the ninjas and people who died in the process.

The recovery is successful, but it never leads to good results.

Anxiety and hatred towards the Shinsoo are amplified day by day, and eventually the king steps forward to get rid of Hwayusa Temple, and Hwaguk no longer possesses the Shinsoo.

I don’t know exactly what happened to Hino in the process, but it was never a good thing.

There are ninjas who have learned all kinds of crafting and killing techniques since they were born and raised, but the war with Shinsoo was a different story in particular.

When there was a war with the demons later, it was a big blow for me to lose the god of fire as I wanted to gather their strength.

Hino, who had been stroking Miho who fell asleep, opened her mouth.

“Ah, by the way… Have you decided where you will go after your academy life is over?”

“It’s a destination…”

“Because I can’t get rid of the idea that I am a talented person needed in the country.”

“hahahaha, Hwaguk is a nice country. But I think staying in Hwaguk would be difficult because I have work to do.”

“…I see. The country might be too narrow to hold you.”

“That’s too much praise.”

It wasn’t long before I had such a friendly conversation with Hino.

I didn’t miss the subtle sound coming from inside my arms, and immediately took out the crystal ball.

‘Suddenly at this hour…?’

It was Bernice who hadn’t contacted me in a long time.

I took out the crystal ball that resonated nonstop and pondered. At this time, there was only one reason to contact Bernice.

“Jetto, is that…?”

Hino looked at the crystal ball in my hand and asked.

“Ah, this is a crystal ball. You should consider it a kind of dharma that allows you to communicate with people far away.”

“Oh… Then I’ll step aside for a moment. Let’s have a nice conversation. Miho, Irion.”

Waking up from sleep, Miho looks at me and Hino alternately with blank eyes, then follows Hino with her gun-like steps.

“……”

[ You must be afraid to contact me because you have something open. Accept it, my disciple. It was a catch anyway. ]

As I was scratching her head with the crystal ball, Sierra walked over to her.

It seems that the current situation is interesting because it is subtly mixed with laughter.

I wasn’t having fun at all.

Because Bernice was not in a good mood at the progress.

I took a deep breath and infused mana into the crystal ball before the hand signal was cut off.

[ … ]

The reception signal is cut off, and the crystal ball becomes quiet as if the connection is established.

“…Jetto.”

[ …Zeto. ]

“Yes, saintess…”

[ Are you enjoying your trip? ]

“Well, somehow…”

[ You made a promise when you went to Seongguk with me before. Do you remember? ]

“…Did you decide not to follow me to the bathroom?”

[ Haa… ]

Bernice let out a deep sigh.

It must have been unreasonable to defuse the situation with a joke.

“Kuhmm… I decided not to do anything dangerous.”

[ Yes, I did. But today I received a letter. It was a letter from Ishai. ]

“Saint, that was… I couldn’t help it.”

[ Say something. ]

“Somehow, I realized that the king was a demon, but I was the only one who noticed. What is it? I thought no one would believe that a demon with the same voice as the king was a demon, so I had no choice but to step out myself. Is.”

I made a big fuss as if something big was about to happen. It wasn’t really a lie because it was right that something really big would happen.

[ There is a lie in the middle. ]

It was Bernice who wouldn’t let go.

No matter what, her authority is tricky.

“…I’m sorry. I’ll correct it. It’s not ‘somehow’, I heard that the princess of Ishai was sick, so I went to visit her out of curiosity. Saintess, think about it. What if a royal family fell into the clutches of demons. .. What happened? I was just trying to save Ishai…”

[ Okay. That’s enough. ]

“How is it? Couldn’t it be helped?”

[ ……He wasn’t hurt, right? ]

While Bernice was friendly, she asked in a worried voice.

“I’ve been chained by a huge, creepy centipede, but I haven’t been hurt. Thankfully.”

[ You don’t think of resting even when you travel. I know I can’t stop it, but please don’t get hurt. Zeto is my knight, but he is also a valuable figure in our kingdom. ]

“Yes, I understand.”

[ Where are you and what are you doing now? I want to hear the latest news. ]

“Uh, right now… I’m in China.”

[ There’s nothing wrong there, right? ]

In response to Bernice’s question, she glanced at Hino, who was talking about something with Miho in the rain on the other side of her, and she recalled the faces of Volk and Keraf who were returning after safely dealing with Baku.

“Not really…”

I intentionally muttered.

[ …That’s good. There were many things, so I hope you can rest well. I wish I could have been with you too. ]

“hahahaha, I will. It’s a pity.”

[ By the way, there is one thing that worries me… What did Margie do? As far as I know, the degree of magi erosion is quite serious, so acupuncture couldn’t solve it. ]

How did you solve Kimei’s demon?

Bernice was asking that.

“……”

This seems to be misplaced.

Sending letters here and there from excited Kimei may have helped my reputation, but it was obvious poison that the letters even reached Bernice.

It seems that this happened because it was said that he had a relationship with the saintess.

Of course, ‘I can absorb demonic energy with my prosthetic arm, hahahaha.’ It was a matter that could not be passed over with words like that.

[ Zeto…? ]

When I don’t answer, Bernice calls me.

Now that this has happened, we have no choice but to use the classical method that has been passed down from time immemorial.

“…The saintess…? The connection… The connection…”

[ Zeto…?! ]

Berniche called me again for my passionate performance, but I immediately disconnected the crystal ball.

[ Disciple, is it really okay to be like this? ]

Sierra looked at me curiously and asked.

“…Wouldn’t it be nice if acupuncture could solve demon qi?”

[ …… ]

Sierra’s mouth is hanging open as if it’s absurd.

For the time being, the skill points I need to collect should be invested in acupuncture. Volk’s sister had to be treated anyway, so it wasn’t a huge loss.
