I don’t know what kind of spirit it was.
I just stepped on the cane with a mechanical motion.
Then I remembered my worries. Maybe your hands are sweating. Maybe his expression is hardened now. Maybe the way he walks is weird.
Vera’s reaction can’t be confirmed, so he’s worried about every little thing.
‘Oh… .’
I just have my head turned downwards. The cheeks were hot. Maybe his face turned red.
I have to pretend to be relaxed… , I think it’s wrong to hide it by putting my hair behind my ears for nothing to emphasize the nape of my neck.
As he was thinking, Vera said.
“… Im here.”
Renee raised her head in surprise.
“Already?”
I don’t think I even walked much, but I guess I’ve already arrived. With that thought in mind, Vera answered with a firm voice.
“Yeah, 3rd and 5th streets are just 20 minutes away.”
20 minutes.
Was he just shy for such a long time?
A look of disappointment appeared on Renee’s face in a feeling of desperation.
“eww… Shall we go in then?”
you need to calm down Didn’t you promise to drop the intensity today?
“Yeah, then come here.”
Renee made up his mind again and followed Vera’s lead into the dining room.
*
Islands 5th Avenue, a gourmet street where you can taste all kinds of high-end cuisine.
Whispers of Salt is a high-class restaurant that is also recognized as an assertion among them.
Vera entered and led Renee to the reserved window seat on the second floor.
The tables are long along the window, so you have to sit next to each other.
Because of Renee, who suffered from various inconveniences even while eating, tables facing each other could not go, so I decided to choose this seat.
Vera sat down at the reserved table and exhaled secretly so that Renee could not notice as much as possible.
This is because the feeling of tightness in the left chest was filled with frustration.
As always, we walked hand in hand, and although it may not be the first time we walked together through the system, I felt nervous and could hardly calm myself down.
Vera shifted his gaze to look at Renee’s profile, who was sitting next to him.
There was a line that was exposed by gently tucking her hair behind her ears.
A thin jawline that starts with a round forehead, crosses the straight nose, and slides down the red lips. If you follow that line, you can see the same thin, white earlobes and the white, fine nape of the neck.
‘… dot.’
At the point where the tip of the chin and the back of the neck meet, there was a small dot stamped on it.
His gaze, which had been secretly spying, suddenly turned towards that point.
Meanwhile.
“Vera?”
Vera’s body shook at Renee’s call.
The shame came later.
As blind as Renee, he may not have known where he was looking, but regardless of that, he felt like he was caught, and he was stabbed.
“Yes.”
voice is hardened.
Vera pushed himself to rest, waiting for Renee’s answer.
Renee raised the corners of her lips slightly, smiled so that her dimples widened, and then continued.
“How is the atmosphere here?”
Renero was the most conscious of the ‘how to seduce’ that he had heard from Annie.
At that, Vera felt a tightness in his chest again, and looked around hesitantly.
“I mainly use a mix of white and gray to decorate the interior. The material is… Rock. I’m guessing it’s probably marble. There are about 20 tables you can see, and if you add a long table by the window, about 5 more tables can fit in, so only the second floor can accommodate 25 tables. You can see apricot colored magic lights everywhere. The light is reflected on the shiny marble, creating a rather eerie atmosphere.”

Oh, luckily I didn’t stutter.
Raising a small relief inside, Vera caught his breath.
“What kind of music do you hear now? Are there any performers?”
“It’s a magic tool. I know that something that was submitted as a graduation work by the Academy’s Magical Engineering Department a few years ago has become fashionable and is being used.”
“How amazing. Magic engineering.”
Vera nodded in response to Renee stroking the handle of the wand leaning against his chair.
“Yeah, it’s practically good, so it’s expected that there will be many more interesting things in the future.”
Actually there was such a thing.
It is said that the lifestyle of the continent will all change within the next 50 years if sorcery engineering develops further.
From https://noblemtl.com
Of course, it was a speculation that the Demon King turned the continent into a wasteland and returned to nothing.
“Hmm… .”
As Renee nodded at Vera’s words, the words flowed out.
“Will there ever be a product that will allow the blind to see?”
Vera’s fingertips trembled. His gaze turned to Renee. It was to check whether he was showing a sad sign or not, and whether there was a lump inside.
Naturally, silence fell between the two.
Vera bit his lip, barely breaking the silence.
“… It will definitely come out. If it doesn’t come out, I’ll go and order it.”
“Fufu, what is that?”
A shrill laugh escaped Renee’s mouth.
In the meantime, a grateful heart was floating in my mind.
Isn’t it Vera who only knows how to be serious about everything. Those words are not meant to be jokes.
Renee, who smiled gratefully and excitedly at that firm attitude of saying that she would do that for herself, continued with a slightly mean tone.
“Are you going to threaten me?”
Vera felt a tingling sensation. Actually, it was because I was thinking of such a way.
Isn’t that right? Usually, the group of scholars are humans who eventually create anything when squeezed.
It was actually a spit-out because I had dealt with them in that way in my past life, but Vera kept his mouth shut as he recalled, ‘It’s not the right thing to do’, after he answered Renee’s question.
Renee giggled at Vera’s silenced attitude, this time whispering in a lower voice.
“If you don’t have it, you can live without it.”
“However… .”
“Vera will show you the way, right?”
A word that is continued after cutting off the rebuttal. Renee felt a jovial feeling emanating from Vera’s ‘clunking’ chuckle. His face was getting a little redder.
“… You promised to stay by my side, remember?”
That’s what Vera said at Remeo three years ago.
Moreover, it was like a treasure that never faded even after so many years had passed.
Does Vera know what the meaning of those words that he would live for himself came to him?
“It’s okay if you can’t see it. Because I’m used to it.”
After saying that, Renee took a deep breath and took a deep breath, then continued with a shaky voice.
“Because Vera will show you the way. I can live like this.”
It was not just a simple visual part, but a word that spilled a little of the sincerity that was hidden inside.
At him, Vera’s pupils trembled.
Even though what he said was clearly correct, even though there was no room for other intentions to intervene in the context of the conversation.
For some reason, those words felt harsh, and I felt like my stomach was burning.
“… Yes that’s right.”
Vera answered, fidgeting with a glass of water for nothing, as he could hardly calm himself down.
“I will always be by her side.”
Vera spoke and gulped down the water. However, it was still hot inside. Clearly, even though he was drinking cold water, his stomach did not calm down.
His gaze, which had been facing René until just before, suddenly turned toward the window. expression frowned. If I didn’t do this, I thought I wouldn’t be able to manage my facial expressions, so I just did it because it was too manly.
It was a pathetic act that he did at the thought that he should not be caught in his embarrassment, but unfortunately René was clearly feeling Vera’s embarrassment.
The tone, the rustling movement, the gurgling sound of drinking water.
Although there were the sounds of other guests talking nearby and the music playing in the restaurant, only that was clearly engraved on René’s perception.
From https://noblemtl.com
Only Vera fills Renee’s world.
Suddenly, Renee felt a little regret inside.
‘I want to see your face.’
What does Vera look like now? What is your face color? Where are your eyes headed?
I was curious about a lot more than that.
I needed all the visual information about a man named Vera.
I said it was okay to not see it in words, but it was still a pity.
I’m just curious about Vera, because I want to see him, not the world.
Renee felt that kind of pity.
*
Although my mind was cluttered and my thoughts were not well organized, the meal was delicious.
At least Vera thought so.
‘It’s been almost 10 years.’
It’s been a long time since I’ve had a course meal like this. In my last life, I couldn’t eat because I was running away after the demon king called out, and in this life, I couldn’t eat because I didn’t have a chance.
Vera handed Renee a slice of steak, reminiscent of a gourmet he’d had in a long time.
“Try this too.”
“Ah, thank you.”
Renee grinned and grabbed a fork, following Vera’s guidance, carefully dipping the steak into his mouth.
Take a moment to taste the steak while chewing it.
‘It’s delicious, but… .’
something is bittersweet
Such a feeling came to mind.
To put it bluntly, it can be described as ‘expensive taste’.
‘I think the soup Marie-sama made tastes better.’
I liked it because it was exciting.
‘Should I ask you to make one more time before we go?’
To borrow Vera’s words, Renee, a ‘ghost eater’, chewed and swallowed a steak with that thought in mind, then brushed it off.
‘Well, the atmosphere is good though.’
Perhaps the reason this place is famous is the atmosphere.
A softly flowing song or a warm sensation. According to Vera, the interior is also quite well done.
Renee smiled a little at the thought that came to her.
It seemed that Vera was seriously thinking about today’s outing, so it was a smile that came to mind because of excitement.
From https://noblemtl.com
Of course, Vera, unaware of such feelings, saw René smiling while eating steak, and was in the process of deciding that she liked the meal.
“Excuse me.”
Words from the waitress approaching.
Vera asked, looking at the sherbet the waitress had served on the table.
“What is this made of?”
It was a question I asked because the color was very unique. A sparkling ice cream with a sparkling white light. The waitress smiled and answered the question that came to mind because it was food I had never seen here in my past life.
“This is a menu newly developed by the chef. It was inspired by a miracle that recently appeared in the sky of the Islands.”
excited-.
Renee’s shoulders shook at the waitress’ words. Because I felt a little embarrassed.
“… thank you.”
It was said that I was inspired by myself, but the waitress, unaware that Renee was a saint, only tilted her head.
“Tell me I’ll eat well.”
“Oh, yes. Then have a good time.”
Vera’s apprenticeship left the waitress shortly after, and an awkward atmosphere began to flow between them.
“Um, that’s a shame.”
“I think you should be proud of it.”
“is that so?”
“Yes, for a chef, a menu is like art that embodies a personal philosophy, so wouldn’t it be the same as saying that St. Mary has become the muse of that art?”
up to the muse
Rene, who was more embarrassed by the words of excessive praise, turned away with an awkward smile.
“Then let’s eat.”
Rene, who felt like she was going to die of embarrassment if she listened more, scooped out sherbet with a spoon and put it in her mouth, suddenly causing her eyes to widen and exclaiming.
“Well! It’s really delicious!”
The salty and salty taste gave a thrilling sensation.
It’s a taste that really beats your taste buds.
A bright smile that comes naturally.
“Eat Vera, too. It’s really delicious.”
This was a dessert restaurant.
Seeing Renee making fun of the spoon again with that thought in mind, Vera also nodded slightly and ate the sherbet.
immediately after.
“town… !”
Vera’s expression frowned.
“Is it delicious?”
Vera looked at Ren with a bewildered look.
If you are angry at waiting for an answer with a face full of anticipation, is it strange to you?
Vera couldn’t make eye contact with Renee, lowered his gaze to the floor and struggled to answer.
“… Yes.”
Even thinking about cancer, I can’t understand René’s taste.
A thought like that came to mind.
