72 – 15. The Saint and Eileen
It was a coincidence that I turned around.
Wandering aimlessly to find the saint, he happened to come near Charles and Eileen’s house.
She just thought to talk to Eileen first rather than the saint whose whereabouts she did not know.
‘It’s clear something is up.’
Otherwise, there’s no way the kid who came to play with her every day would suddenly stop visiting her.
Even though she asked other martial arts students, they said Eileen seemed uneasy and that she went home as soon as class ended.
…… Actually, it’s a problem of this magnitude, but it’s strange that my father, Charles Teddy Bear, doesn’t know anything.
Well, you can find out by visiting in person.
‘But what if it’s because he suddenly hates me…….’
As I walked towards the house in the distance, I remembered my younger sister’s adolescence.
Because we lived alone, Jisoo and I stuck close to each other wherever we went, but when he became a middle school student, he started screaming and trying to get away from us, getting irritated and making a fuss.
At first, I accepted it, but later on, when Jisoo kept saying things, I got tired of it and ignored whatever she said.
I was treated like a non-existent person, so I cried and surrendered in one day, I guess?
‘It’s a memory.’
I was really angry at the time, but when I remember it like this, it feels like it was no big deal.
Is it true that time is medicine?
‘……… ….’
…… But it seems there are some medicines that cannot be cured with time.
If you close your eyes and think quietly, what comes to mind is your parents’ corpses.
Because it was still tying me up.
‘… ‘Oh, what can I do thinking about something like this?’
Stop thinking about sinking thoughts, thinking about them will only make you depressed.
Anyway, unless Eileen has suddenly hit puberty and hates me, I also desperately need her help.
Except for special vocational classes, Eileen is a friend who introduces me to many students in my very narrow circle of friends.
I finally arrived at the door of the Teddy Bear family’s house, hoping it wouldn’t be a big deal.
It was the moment I was about to knock.
“…Come in.”
“Hmm? Instructor Charles?”
“It’s open.”
What, how did you know what I was in front of?
Is this the
Extra senses＞ That fighters have?
I was startled, but when I opened the door and entered, I saw Charles Teddy Bear leaning on a chair, looking somewhat haggard.
…… Why is it like that?
“Instructor Charles?”
“…Namgoong Min.”
“What’s wrong? Your complexion…”
“……………….”
Hmm.
Close your mouth and turn your head.
This is a typical person who ‘has something to talk about, but cannot talk about it for some reason.’
This was something I often saw when I was making money as a fortune teller.
“Instructor, I don’t know what’s going on… But you know my skills well, don’t you?”
“……….”
“Tell me this: Worries are like a burden, and when two people carry them, they become lighter.”
“………I am.”
Squeak.
“Instructor, may I talk to you?”
“Saint…That’s right.”
“…Would you like to listen together?”
“No. I… Will listen to it later.”
“…Yes.”
Just before Charles Teddy Bear opened his heavy mouth at my words, Eileen’s door opened and someone walked out.
After Charles Teddy Bear talked to someone for a while, Charles went into his room and closed the door.
…… A saint?
Why are you coming out of Eileen’s room?
“Saint?”
“…Comrade sinner.”
“Why…The saint is in Eileen’s room…No way.”
In an instant, a flashing thought passed through my mind.
The two of you…… Are you dating?
Did you not come because you had a boyfriend and were on a date?
‘If you think about it that way, it all makes sense.’
Did you show signs of anxiety during class? Because it’s my first relationship, I’m nervous.
You mean you went straight home after class? I guess they went on a date.
Why is Charles Teddy Bear so haggard? My only daughter has a boyfriend, but of course she becomes haggard.
‘That’s what it was.’
I nodded and placed my hand on the saint’s shoulder.
Boss, do you have good skills?
“Please take care of Eileen.”
“…I don’t know what kind of ridiculous misunderstanding I’ve made, but it’s definitely not what you think.”
“Huh? Aren’t you dating Eileen?”
Bam!!!
“Wow, I’m surprised.”
Suddenly, a loud noise rings out from the wall of Eileen’s room.
…… What? It’s not like someone was so angry that they hit her with their fist.
“……Comrade sinner, are you planning to assassinate me with a mace?”
“Yes?”
“Do you think you have to be so clueless to have that kind of ability? God is so fair…”
What are you talking about?
Weren’t we dating?
“First of all, let me point this out again. I am absolutely, absolutely, definitely not in a relationship with Ms. Eileen.”
“But just now in Eileen’s room…”
“It was because I was having a consultation. Counseling. Counseling.”
“Aha.”
Now that I think about it, Eileen really hated that saint, right? Of course dating would be difficult.
Furthermore, looking at the idiotic nature of Charles, who tried to kill me for hugging Eileen on the street the other day, it is clear that if he had a real boyfriend, he would have made a fuss about it.
Wow, so you have to be able to beat Charles Teddy Bear to date Eileen?
Is the level of difficulty real? Are you going to remain a mother-in-law for the rest of your life like me?
“…Are you here to talk to your fellow criminal, Miss Eileen?”
“Well, that’s right.”
“Then… Please go back.”
Huh?
Why are you saying that?
“What are you saying…?”
“This is what Miss Eileen means. I think she will return to normal in about three more days, so please wait until then.”
…… Hmm.
As usual, wait 3 days.
This…… Just look at cancer.
‘There’s something.’
I absolutely have to talk to Eileen.
But she said Eileen herself asked her to go back, so there is no reason for me to force my way into the room. However, it is impossible to get through the saint.
So, let’s hold our tongues a bit.
“I already promised to talk to Eileen today.”
“…I asked you to tell me to postpone that appointment until 3 days later.”
“Oh no! Actually, I didn’t have a promise!”
“……….”
“So, I don’t believe the saint who asked me to go back!”
“…Ha.”
“I will speak directly. Could you please step aside?”
“…As expected, you are a fellow criminal.”
Sharp.
The saint who was sitting on a nearby chair immediately laughed and pointed to another chair.
“Please sit down with me. This will be a bit of a long story.”
“Yes.”
As I sat down on the chair, there was only silence in the rather large living room.
The saint looked at the door where Charles Teddy Bear was entering for a moment, then turned to face me with a serious expression.
“Comrade sinner, how much do you know?”
“What do you mean?”
“I know the immeasurable power of my fellow sinners. They also know about my past, which the church has kept secret, so I’m sure.”
“…….”
“So, let me ask you…How much do you know?”
No, I don’t know anything.
But you shouldn’t say you really don’t know here.
“Saint, what does it matter?”
“…Yes?”
“No matter what I know, I will listen to the saint’s story anyway. Just tell me what you want.”
“……I understand.”
Okay, it went reasonably well.
What on earth is going on?
“…Saints and saints are cursed professions.”
“……….”
“In order to survive, you have no choice but to kill innocent people.”
“He who is without sin.”
“All the And In the world are born with two personalities. One is their original personality, and one is… The personality of their profession itself.”
“……….”
“The character of one’s occupation is discovered late. Around the age of five, perhaps? That’s also the age when I went on a pilgrimage.”
The story of the saint.
It was far beyond my thoughts.
“Comrade sinner, there are two personalities in one body. Can these two really get along?”
“…….”
“It was amazing at first, because there was another me. And I promised to use my body for 12 hours at a time. It lasted for roughly a few months.”
“A few months.”
“After that… We start to fight more and more. Our thoughts are different, our personalities are different, and our wants are different. The frustration of not being able to use our bodies continues to pile up.”
“……………….”
“And in the end, only one remains.”
“…You mean by killing them?”
“It is no exaggeration to say that it kills. The two personalities fight inside, invading each other’s thoughts and memories… Eventually, the other personality disappears and only one remains.”
I looked at the saint with determined eyes.
Then, you.
“Saint, let me ask you just one question.”
“As much as you want.”
“Are you a saint or Raphael Martina?”
“…I see, listening to this…Was harder than I thought.”
“Saint?”
“I am a saint. That’s all.”
…… I absolutely had to clear the character event in .
I watched all the character events, but this was the only character event I gave up on because the conditions were difficult and it took a long time.
I never thought he would hide such a secret.
“…Then, let me ask you one more question.”
“Yes.”
“Is the person in the room Aileen Teddy Bear or a saint?”
“……I still have both.”
In other words, it is on the verge of disappearing.
Now I understand the saying, “Just wait three days.”
‘Are you saying that after three days, Eileen Teddy Bear’s personality will disappear and only the saint will remain?’
But that…… This is also the ‘Eileen’ I knew.
“Please continue.”
“…Usually, in battles between personalities, the personality of the job wins. No, it wins all of them.”
“Why?”
“I told you earlier that I opened my eyes around the age of five. But I wasn’t five years old at that time… I already had a lot of information, experience, and common sense in my head.”
“……….”
“I’m not sure, but it seems to be the remnants of the previous . Of course, it’s only a faint level, so it’s just that my personality has matured a bit…”
“It’s enough to beat a five-year-old.”
“…That’s right.”
If that’s the case………
“The reason Eileen avoided me.”
“Miss Eileen, or rather, the saint, has a close relationship with her fellow sinners. The closer she gets to her comrades, the stronger her personality as a saint becomes, and the smaller her original personality becomes.”
“Is superiority determined by just that?”
“It also means that you are not ‘only’ to the saint.”
“……….”
I thought it was unusual for the favor shown to me, whom I met for the first time.
‘Is his likability unlocked because he is a character that is impossible to attack in the first place?’
I guess…… I think Eileen likes me.
If I were too self-conscious, I would feel really embarrassed and have suicidal thoughts.
Even a saint says this, but if she doesn’t notice, she’s just not paying attention and she’s at the bottom.
…… Good.
“I heard the story well.”
From Noble mtl dot com
“…Please, comrade sinner. Now, go back so the saint can spend time with Miss Eileen Teddy Bear──”
“Please get out of the way.”
“…Comrade a sinner?”
“Saint, didn’t I tell you in the basement of the church? Have you already forgotten?”
──Let me help you.
──…… How do you mean that?
──That is none of your business. All you have to do is follow what I say.
──That…… Do you want me to believe it?
──Have you not seen it for a while? My strange fortune telling. Knowing anything, adapting anything, and accomplishing anything.
──……… Dot.
──So just trust and leave it to us.
“I will save Eileen.”
“……………….”
“So, saint, you just have to follow what I say. Now, let me say it again.”
Please get out of the way.
“……….”
The saint lowered his head and was silent.
That was a sufficient answer.
As I passed by the saint with his eyes closed, he muttered quietly.
“…I’m jealous.”
That confidence is something a saint who is only a professional person cannot have.
The saint quietly remembered his brother whom he had killed.
‘Raphael…….’
If we had met that fortune teller when we were young, would our fate have been different?
But the saint laughed when he realized that if he was a child, Namgoong Min would also have been five years old.
…… Knock.
A tear fell.
They were tears in memory of a dead brother.
*
“Ah, ah…….”
“Hello, saint.”
“Oh, no. No…”
“It works. .”
Chollak.
“Uh, uh…?”
“Okay then.”
──Let’s try fortune telling.
With the suffering saint in front of her, Namgoong Min smiled as he unfolded her card.
It was the same smile as always.
