The Regressor and the Blind Saint chapter 121

Vera, who had left Miller’s laboratory, headed straight for the seminary where Renee was also located.

At the entrance to the building, Vera found Ren, who was sitting on a sunny seat with his eyes closed, and approached with a thump, thump, and opened his mouth with his head bowed.

“Lady.”

“Oh, Vera. Did you come?”

“Yes.”

Renee laughed. Vera, who felt it tickle her chest for nothing, sat down next to her, and Renee spoke up.

“Did you see everything I saw?”

“A few things have been resolved, but there are still things left to do, so I think we will have to visit a few more times.”

These were the words he spoke while stroking the dagger that was hung from his waist.

A deeper knowledge of the mystery and how to respond was needed. In addition, I had to ask about the ‘predators of life’ that I haven’t asked yet.

It would be nice if it was dealt with at once, but what’s the point of leaving Renee alone right now?

In response to Vera’s words, Renee sighed in regret as he answered.

“You are in a lot of trouble.”

“… If it helps, I’ll just have to endure it.”

What was hard and what was helpful, the two did not bother to mention.

For a moment to let the awkward air flow like that, Renee opened his mouth first to break the silence.

“Vera.”

“Yes.”

“I’ll see you one day.”

Vera’s head turned to Renee. It was a question that appeared on his face.

Renee raised a small smile at the rustling sound from the side and continued speaking.

“Today is… No, I won’t tempt you until tomorrow.”

A look of surprise appeared on Vera’s face. Vera, who had a blank face for a moment at the sudden declaration, was startled by the ‘remorse’ that suddenly filled up in the immediate aftermath, and bowed his head.

“… thank you.”

“Until tomorrow, I will do it again the day after tomorrow.”

“… Yes.”

Renee could clearly feel the embarrassment and regret felt in Vera’s tone. While it made me feel better, I also had a worried look.

What Teresa had said kept running through her mind.

Take away love and look to Vera.

It’s probably not something he’s just saying because the wisest person he knew came up with it, but even though he understood it, he didn’t know how to do it.

He’s someone I like so much, just being by your side makes my heart explode. That’s why it’s hard to ignore this feeling.

Renee, who had moaned in the sun for a while, took a deep breath and opened her mouth.

“Oh, Theresa-sama is looking for you. Would you like to go?”

“Are you talking about me?”

“Yes, I must have been sad that he left as soon as he came to work.”

Startle.

Vera’s body shook slightly. At the thought of having to sing solo with her, awkwardness began to appear on her face.

Of course, because Theresa was too difficult for Vera.

This is because the teacher of Bargo, whom she had been serving as her teacher, is a person who becomes a teacher of a teacher in terms of distribution alone, and the atmosphere of embracing her unique person was so unfamiliar.

“Look. I’ll be looking around with Aisha for a while.”

Renee’s words with a bright smile.

Vera, unable to utter a word of refusal, nodded his head.

“Are you here?”

“How are you?”

“What else can you do?”

In the middle of the white office space, Theresa smiled and accepted Vera’s words.

“Sit down. I’ll give you some tea.”

“I will be grateful.”

Vera sat down, Theresa brewed tea. Vera uttered those words as he looked around and couldn’t sit still because he felt awkward.

“… It’s an atmosphere that reminds me of Seongguk.”

A word used to describe the interior of a room. Theresa replied with a smile.

“Yeah, I miss my hometown when I’m out of town. It is its own solution.”

‘I miss you… .’

Vera was a word that did not empathize.

First of all, it’s because I don’t like the scenery of the all-white Seongguk. It is strange to like a place where clothes, buildings, and equipment are all pure white, because they are so obsessed with what white color they are.

So, as Vera answered by simply nodding her head, Theresa continued with a grin.

“You’re still young, so you don’t know. You’ll understand when you’re a little older, so I’m going to do it right now.”

Theresa pulled out the car. Vera accepted it and swallowed the ‘I didn’t live less’ answer he had been trying to get through.

It was because I remembered late that I couldn’t even live half of her if I had to combine all of her past and present lives.

“I heard you called.”

“Are you just asking for a purpose? There is no truth.”

“… I’m sorry.”

“It became.”

Theresa sat across from Vera. I remembered the kindly-shaped wrinkles on my face.

“You seem to be having a lot of trouble because of the saint.”

The words that come out are playful tones. It shook Vera’s expression slightly.

“… I am so happy that you have given me so much attention.”

“You’re answering like a prolific old man. The guy who hasn’t even dried blood on his head yet.”

squeaky. Theresa let out a smile and looked at Vera’s face with a calm face.

‘Your face color has improved a lot.’

It was a much more vibrant color than when I first saw it.

Maybe it was the change that came to mind while staying with Renee. Maybe that child’s bright look changed this guy. A thought like that came to mind.

“Hey, do you think you’re full of anger?”

So I asked such a question. Seeing them together, this guy didn’t seem to have a heart, but I was curious as to why he dared to deny it, and I wondered why this guy was afraid of love.

Returning to the question posed with such a heart was indeed strong will and, as expected, fear.

“I know it’s a heart that shouldn’t be accepted.”

At Vera’s answer as she bowed her head, a sigh escaped Theresa’s mouth.

“Don’t ask me why.”

“That’s because it might be detrimental to fulfilling your duty.”

“Is that the end?”

Vera’s head was raised. Teresa’s eyes crossed. Vera, feeling a sense of dread in his eyes, continued with his eyes closed.

“… I just want to do my duty as an escort.”

it’s my duty

Theresa continued to think that it was really funny. He continued speaking as he wore a kind smile.

“It is indeed the duty of a faithful knight.”

“thank you.”

“However, this is not the way to look at humans.”

Vera’s fingertips trembled. Theresa looked at it and spoke softly.

“Silence and loyalty are good things. By the way, the more words you do, the more your flaws will be revealed. but… .”

He stopped talking and took a moment to breathe. Theresa continued to speak with a slightly sad look to Vera, who was looking at her with a questioning expression.

“… I want you to know that they can build up the righteousness of a knight, but not of a human being.”

“… .”

“I will ask. Did your stigmata speak of guardianship?”

Is it true that the work received from the gods is guardianship? At the question of doing so, Vera gnawed at his teeth like a man who had been struck with a stick.

“Aren’t you the one who makes promises? But when you look at what they are doing, it looks like they are trying to take on the role of twins.”

irrefutable words. Plus, it was a hint of something I had never thought of before.

However, while Vera’s expression clouded because he still didn’t understand what he meant to say, Theresa continued speaking again.

“There is such a case. When your will to get things done is so strong that you forget why you have to do them. When you lose your reason because you are engrossed in the work itself. I don’t think you’re like that right now.”

It was unfortunate. Theresa had seen so many sway and fall, she couldn’t leave Vera alone.

So, after a long introduction, I delivered what I wanted to say.

“You are a promiser, not a guardian, so I want to say that you should wear kindness, not loyalty, when looking at your partner.”

Vera felt a sense of confusion emanating from what was said. In addition, I felt a desire to refute for nothing.

“… It’s not just about protecting the saint’s body. I think that she is looking at her heart enough so that there is no sorrow in her path.”

“The absence of sadness does not mean happiness.”

The rebuttals made with such a heart were also scattered by Theresa’s words.

Theresa smiled with a benevolent face and spoke to Vera, who evoked a grumpy look like a spirited man.

“The two are completely different. This means that they are not at the same point of symmetry. Sadness is sadness and happiness is happiness.”

“Then, is it right for me to accept Saint’s heart?”

“It is up to you to decide. However, you have to look at it to make a decision. You haven’t looked at it yet, so you haven’t been able to make a decision.”

“It will be the sun.”

“I don’t know.”

“There are things you can know without going there.”

“Yes. However, the human heart is not.”

Vera’s expression hardened. A deeper smile appeared on Teresa’s face.

“It’s a long excuse. you are just scared You can’t move forward with fear.”

“I think it is a wise man to know fear.”

“To know only fear is stupid.”

It’s really fun to react so hard. However, Teresa was not so far behind in her eloquence as to lose to the coward’s excuses.

“Are you going to go only the path you know for the rest of your life?”

Vera’s movement stopped. eyes bulged out.

The thought I had once again filled my mind, and I remembered the moment when I was pushing myself to move forward only with the knowledge of my past life.

It was like that, when I realized that I had forgotten myself even though I had made such a promise.

Theresa added a word to Vera’s look of surprise.

“You are trying to become an adult without ever being a child.”

He shared what he learned from his short, short life.

“You know? It’s up to an adult to go down the path they know. As a child, you have to go through countless paths before you become an adult so that you can choose the best path among them.”

“… .”

“So, it’s saying that you don’t get scared and don’t make excuses for becoming an adult. You still look like a baby to me.”

Vera’s hand gripped the teacup.

Theresa continued with the thought of ‘I’m almost done’ with it.

“I’ll give you homework.”

“… What is it?”

“As long as you are at the academy, stay as a student. It’s like giving up the apostleship for a while and going to lectures with the saint. I won’t tell the dean.”

“There is nothing to learn… .”

“Learn to be a child.”

Theresa looked at Vera with a frown on her face, and spoke in a very playful tone.

“Practice to see exactly what your unadorned heart is like. And when you leave the academy, let me know what you’ve learned. And on the day the saint completes the revelation, meet again in Seongguk and tell me again what you, now an adult, have learned. This is my homework assignment as someone who became your teacher’s teacher.”

Vera’s mouth shut. Feeling angry, but unable to reveal it, Vera nodded.

Theresa leaned her back on the backrest and smiled as if she was satisfied.

‘Now, it’s up to the saint.’

It’s your fault if you can’t eat it even though you have seasoned it like this. With that thought in mind, I savored the aroma of tea.
