The Regressor and the Blind Saint chapter 114

In the middle of the hall with slow melodies, Renee followed Vera’s lead.

The left foot reached out to where the clasped hands were pointing, and the right foot followed. so round and round

“Good job. Now take a deep breath and take only four steps, one step at a time, starting with your right foot. You can do that and turn it counterclockwise.”

Vera’s voice superimposed over the melody.

As his hand led Renee, the sound of two footsteps ‘tapping’ also overlapped with the melody.

I could feel the hem of the dress unfolding as I moved. The sound was also superimposed on the melody.

In an instant, Renee felt a strange sensation, as if walking on a melody.

A mysterious feeling comes to mind as if you and Vera are filling this space with a score, your footsteps with notes, and the empty score.

breathing overlaps. The tangled breath scatters according to the spinning movement. Moisture that hasn’t left is blown away by the sound of footsteps. As they move again, the sequence repeats and Vera’s voice echoes softly.

“Now, we can go in the direction the saint wants. If you feel like you’re going to bump into other people or leave the hall, I’ll turn around, so don’t worry about it and move on.”

“… yes.”

A voice sounded like a dream.

No, actually, it might be a dream.

Renee was so amazed by the way her feet stretched freely, and she was so overwhelmed by the movement that went round and round according to the beat, she danced with such a hazy face the whole time.

thought came to mind.

Indeed, it was the thought that Vera, in his own words, seemed really good at using his body.

Isn’t that right? Even the blind man, who cannot move without a cane, is given the freedom to go wherever he guides him. Indeed, there is no one more capable of handling the body than Vera.

Vera’s touch was as hot as on fire.

The intertwined breathing was a little strange.

The gap that gradually grew closer and farther as we continued the dance was very painful.

‘… Oh, I guess I’ll just have to pretend I’m falling now.’

Such a thought came to mind, but soon subsided.

When your posture is broken, the atmosphere is broken. Will this moment be over?

Renee just made fun of himself, feeling that he would be happy that this moment continued even a little longer than sticking together.

Being blind was not an obstacle for Renee for this moment.

There was Vera that he could feel even though he could not see, and he had two feet that could go anywhere without a staff, so being invisible was not a problem at all.

No, on the contrary, it would be correct to say that the invisible is turning into satisfaction.

That’s right, didn’t it help you feel Vera more clearly?

Renee thought.

The emotional resonance that is infinitely close to thought and cannot be found even in logic is woven into sentences.

Perhaps the reason the gods stole his light was because he needed a wage to meet Vera, and maybe it was the wage that a farmer’s daughter who had nothing had needed to meet Vera.

A smile was drawn on his lips.

The heart, which had been beating with two bats, suddenly changed its shape and began to tremble as if it were vibrating lightly.

‘It’s cheap.’

I thought it was a really cheap price.

By giving out only one light, he obtained an irreplaceable treasure, so that he could be the light he desired.

It led to the conclusion that he might have gotten him at a really cheap price, and he felt glad.

*

Just one song, about 8 minutes or so, a short moment passed, and Renee went back to his original nook.

“… thanks.”

Words of thanks flowed out.

The words that Vera said because she was so grateful for the unexpected experience, and the excitement of the moment when she was free to play with her feet did not leave her body. To that, Vera answered as if indifferent.

“It is natural. It’s my job to give you whatever the saint wants.”

Renee remembered the faint smile that would disappear at any moment at the words he had heard.

‘Anything.’

Do you know how heavy those words are?

Are you saying that because you don’t know what you really want?

A wild feeling came to mind for nothing, and Renee continued to say that playfully.

“Then will you buy it separately?”

“I will try… .”

“That’s Okay. It’s a joke.”

kick kick. Renee smiled and leaned her back against the backrest. His hands were still clasped.

He still had residual heat left on his body. It was transmitted to Vera in a beat, and Vera’s heat was transmitted.

Renee was playing with his hands for nothing, making the smile on the corner of his mouth deep.

‘… Same with Vera.’

Vera had the same beating as his.

Whether this is just the beat, or even the heart… I do not know.

So Renee arbitrarily declared, ‘We will feel the same way,’ and then bowed his head.

cheeks flushed

No, not only his cheeks, but his whole body became hot.

“… It’s hot.”

Seriously, what the hell did you do inside to make it so hot?

Vera looked at Renee’s complexion and answered when he said that he was just beating the ballroom.

“I think it’s because I’ve been moving more than usual. Would you like to go out on the terrace for a while?”

Terrace.

Renee pondered for a moment, then nodded, and Vera led Renee.

As Renee took Vera’s hand and walked slowly, she clenched her lips as she began to feel more and more overwhelmed.

If I don’t do that, I feel like my words will come out, so the words ‘I really like you’ came up to the end of my throat.

Even in the midst of perplexity as to why my emotions are popping up like this today, I had a thought that plagued my head over and over again.

These were the questions derived from the combination of the two words ‘maybe’.

maybe today

Maybe today is the day when we have to burst out the things we have built up together.

After today, I may not be able to convey this feeling for a long time.

Those thoughts keep running through my head.

It was an intuition.

Like everyone else, Renee was also attracted by a strange sense that could not be explained by logic.

Renee made a decision with a hardened face.

‘… I have to.’

it had to be today

In order to convey my heart, I had to do it on this day, in this place.

However, ironically, even though I was getting dizzy from such a feeling, my shyness did not seem to diminish.

Rene’s wretched feelings came to mind, and anger came up again, and she bit her lips.

‘… Nope.’

This is not the case

Renee thought about it and raised her hand.

It was an action that caught the footsteps of a servant passing by and the sound of the water rippling at the same time.

“Lady?”

Call of Vera. Renee ignored it and told the attendant.

“Can I have a cocktail, please?”

“Yes, yes!”

The servant answered in a tone of embarrassment, handed him a glass, and Renee accepted it.

A look of astonishment appeared on Vera’s face.

“Lady, that’s… .”

“It’s one cup. it’s okay.”

I can’t seem to do it with my bare mind, so I came up with this answer with the thought that I should get some help.

Vera’s eyes narrowed as Renee drank the cocktail right away.

*

Small outdoor terrace with one bench.

Vera, who led Renee there, sat him down on a bench and asked a question with a bewildered look.

“Are you okay?”

It was a question I asked because I remembered Renee’s first drinking day. How can I forget the image of me losing my mind and running wild after just one drink?

Maybe I’ll start crying again. At that thought, Vera made a restless face.

“it’s okay.”

Renee smiled softly and spat out an answer.

“Don’t worry, it’s divinely controlled.”

It wasn’t just a word.

Just to the point where the drunkenness clouded my mind a little bit, and I scattered everything, leaving only that level of drunkenness, so there was no reason to make the same mistake I did.

Renee said, ‘I wonder if I thought that I would still not be able to control that.’ At the thought of that, Vera’s attitude of seeing himself as immature here made me giggle.

Vera breathed a sigh of relief at Renee’s seemingly normal attitude.

“… Because I didn’t teach you anything.”

“You’re a virgin. When it comes to dealing with divinity, Vera can do it. It just pops into my head just thinking I want to do it.”

What an arrogant answer. Vera grinned at it.

“Great.”

“Aren’t you sarcastic?”

“I don’t know about that.”

“The answer is clear water. Are you always talking ahead?”

“I know, with a few exceptions, that I have always kept my word.”

“How many times is the problem?”

Renee cheered inwardly at the words that came pouring out like she had greased her tongue.

Was drunkenness the answer? The embarrassment that had tormented him the whole time did not feel like this moment.

“If you just want to run into it, it’s a promise, and you lose everything.”

Vera’s mouth shut.

For a moment, Vera glanced at Renee, wondering if he was actually hiding something drunk.

However, the initial intention of looking at drunkenness is to look at the reddened skin under the light, the more it fades, and the end result is to stare blankly at Renee’s face.

Vera realized it only later and trembled.

“It’s cold?”

When Renee, who felt him holding his hand, asked a question, Vera responded quickly.

“My practice is not shallow enough to be affected by heat or cold.”

“Why are you all of a sudden?”

“… I just wanted to say that there is nothing to worry about.”

Renee giggled at Vera’s quick-witted attitude, and suddenly asked that question.

“Vera is difficult for me?”

“… What are you talking about?”

“That’s right. When dealing with other apostles, Aishana, or even the prince, he treats them indifferently or nervously, and he only bends towards me like this.”

“that… .”

“Because I am the light?”

No answer came back.

Is it because of drunkenness? Renee felt the core that had been secretly hidden from Vera’s attitude like this started to stick out her head, and asked the question again.

“There is. What am I if I am not the light?”

“… I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“I’m asking how you feel about Renee who isn’t a saint. With power, status, and all the light that Vera seeks, I… .”

It was a question that was always hidden inside.

Knowing that this was a struggle, it was so clear that hearing the answer wouldn’t change anything.

It was the core that I had buried in the thought that it would be better to bury it and pretend not to know.

“… What am I to Vera?”

It was dripping with drunkenness.

There was a ripple in Vera’s mind. It took shape and shook Vera’s whole body.

Renee continued, clutching Vera’s trembling hand.

“Vera to me is Vera. No escort, no apostle, no evil, no good, nothing, just Vera.”

He raised his clenched hand and placed it on his cheek.

“Vera is just Vera holding my hand. therefore… .”

The embarrassment began to rage again.

If you try to cross the front line even while you’re drunk, you can’t stand it and run rampant.

Rene, thinking that she didn’t like it, narrowed her brow, bit her lip, and let out the words hanging from her neck.

“… So I like Vera.”

His voice was trembling from the last effort of shame.

Rene remembered the thought that the words that came out were not good words to convey her feelings, and then added.

“It’s not about likes or dislikes, I like you in a different way.”

He rubbed his face with Vera’s hand that he had placed over his cheek.

For a moment, Renee felt that Vera’s stiffening reaction wasn’t just a reaction from trouble.

I hoped for it. I remembered anticipation and thirst.

what you’ve done

“How about Vera?”

It was an irreversible question.
