“Then I will go.”
“Yes, have a good night.”
At the end of Vera’s gaze, Renee bowed his head slightly to himself and entered the red-roofed house.
Vera turned and walked out of town only after René, who opened the door, had completely disappeared into the house.
‘… From today.’
The night comes again.
The long, long seven-day day has finally come to an end.
In addition, it also meant that each group on the continent, which had been thrashing around the continent, began to gradually narrow the siege.
It wasn’t scary. I wasn’t even worried.
They only narrowed the siege, because a week is not the time they can identify Renee.
They do not have the power of India.
In other words, there is no way to specify her at once.
The only way to characterize her was to keep an eye on Seongguk’s trends, but in this case, even that was impossible.
‘Because I moved.’
Having never left the Holy Kingdom, no matter how much they tried to gather information, they came to meet her, who does not exist in their information network, so they cannot identify the saint through themselves.

Of course, that doesn’t guarantee infinite time.
The continent has magic. there is a spell There is a mystery.
If he actively uses him, someday they will be able to identify a saint.
Vera arrived at the entrance to the village in the midst of thinking, and found the gnome waiting for him there and gave a small bow.
“Are you here?”
“Yes.”
“How did you find out?”
“Yes, the empire is still in the center. It seems that they are trying to find it in their own country.”
“What about the tower?”
“Similarly, it seems that the search range has been extended to the central part and also to the southern part. The Coalition is not moving in the West. There seems to be some noise inside.”
Vera’s head nodded at the words he heard.
This was the first thing René did when he realized that he didn’t want to go to the Holy Kingdom.
Having the Norn following him to grasp the continent’s trends.
No matter how much time you have, shouldn’t you be prepared for the minimum?
“What about the other groups?”
“Dragonians say that moving in fractions is being captured all over the continent. Followers of the night… As you know, I couldn’t move for a hundred nights.”
“I understand for now. You’ve been through a lot.”
“It has to be done.”
Norn’s head bowed.
‘Are you still relaxed?’
Vera calculated the path they would take in the future by contrasting the present situation with the knowledge of a previous life.
‘Probably the first thing that comes to you is the Dragonian.’
mixed blood of dragons. Those who seek saints to transcend their parents’ dragon powers.
They were the ones who had their own mobility and independent information network, so they are probably the first to characterize the saint.
‘next… Followers of the night.’
Those who seek saints to erase the curse engraved on their blood.
They cannot move during the day, but at night they can move faster than anyone else.
In addition, their bodies instinctively reject the divine, so once you see Renee, you will immediately recognize that Renee is a saint.
Then, in Vera’s mind, the path they traveled in a previous life flashed.
‘The Empire could not identify the saint until the very end. Matoap headed to the north because of friction with the Dragonian, and the Kingdom Union is something you don’t have to worry about once you cross the border, so let’s get out of the discussion for now.’
It wasn’t just a guess. As the composition of the previous life was exactly like this, the situation will be maintained unless there is a major change.
Plus, that’s why Vera can still be so relaxed.
If it was a Dragonian and a follower of the night, Vera alone was enough power to wipe it out.
‘… It’s not bad.’
I can still afford it.
In the worst case, I would have to force her to go to Seongguk, but not yet.
Vera didn’t want to force Renee’s opinion. I wanted to make an ending like that so that she could stand up on her own and make up her mind.
why not Wasn’t that the light she shone on her in her previous life?
She did not force herself. He did not ignore his will. Just staying by her side has moved her heart this way, so she should also respect her opinion.
‘… Not yet.’
I wanted to wait a little longer for her.
As Vera continued to think like that, Norn, who was watching it, cautiously got lucky.
“I… So what happened to Saint?”
“I don’t think my heart is still there.”
“Oh, yes.”
Norn, who looked at Vera who replied with a gentle attitude, felt the face of Vera he had seen before leaving to investigate overlapped over it.
An indescribably stupid face.
it will overlap
how surprised From the day we first met, Vera, who had always been seen standing upright, trudged along with a face as stupid as twins, which made me wonder what might have happened.
the next word. So, when I heard that I wanted to respect the opinion of the saint, I realized that there was nothing wrong with it, but… .
Apart from that, the question that came to mind could not be erased.
‘Are you in love with the saint? ?’
Norn’s eyes narrowed.
Isn’t that a very plausible reasoning? The saint, whom I had glanced at before leaving, was a beautiful woman that made me burst out in tears.
add it
‘Are you in full swing?’
Vera was a young man who had just turned 18. It was a time when reason was pounding.
Norn fully understood his feelings.
I am now married and have children, but how was your self at that time? When you see a person wearing a skirt, you simply lose your gaze and walk around in sloppy clothes all day.
swipe. head nodded. My father’s smile came to my mind without realizing it.
‘You should cheer up.’

Of course, love is a feeling that cannot be achieved only through one-sided love, but Norn believed in Vera, the hard worker he had seen.
He was a serious person in everything he did, so the sincerity will surely reach you.
“… Why do you see it that way?”
“no.”
A frown on Vera. Norn looked at him and smiled.
It was a scene where the word Dongsang-Dimong fits perfectly.

The next day, Vera followed Renee without fail and made foot contact with her.
It’s just like following without a word.
There were moments when we chatted intermittently, but most of them ended up walking while keeping each other silent.
It was a situation that might seem frustrating at first glance, but for Vera, it was still a satisfactory situation.
Just by chasing after her, you can confirm that she is okay.
The embers he is chasing are completely continuing in the place.
Just by being able to see him with his own eyes, Vera could feel a calming inside him.
steps follow. The land, which had been the same landscape for seven days and one hundred nights, gradually changed its color as time passed.
As the noon sun illuminates the ground, the sunken shadows gradually lengthen over time. As a result, the sky began to take on a reddish color little by little, and as the setting sun began to set, a red color was added over the greenery.
It was only after that time had come that Renee spit out the question.
“… The driver doesn’t ask anything.”
“What do you mean?”
“Don’t you think it’s funny? A blind man who can’t see is walking all day like this. You just make things that are dangerous without being seen.”
Vera’s eyes turned to Renee as he heard the words. The answer, as always, was rude.
“It’s not funny at all.”
“okay? You are special.”
What followed was silence again. Behind the ‘click’ sound of the stick, followed by the ‘tak’ of footsteps.
Renee’s words continued after walking for a while.
“… It’s about learning the way. ‘Cause I can’t see We prepare this way in advance so that we can find the way easily when we have to go somewhere.”
“Great.”
“It’s stupid.”
Renee’s steps stopped. As a result, Vera’s steps stopped.
At the end of Vera’s gaze, Renee continued muttering, staring blankly into the air.
A helpless laugh escaped Renee’s lips.
“Actually, I know. That I wouldn’t have to go somewhere in town by myself. If something big happened to the town that something like that would happen, then there really wouldn’t be anything I could do.”
sadness. A little anger and helplessness in it.
Rene’s words were buried in those things.
“Even if the saint the knight wants is really me, I will not be the person the knight expects. I can’t do anything alone… He is blind, unable to see.”
There were things that could be called pessimism and despair.
Vera then came up with the idea that this fourteen-year-old Renee seemed a little clearer.
In addition, I could clearly understand where those feelings were coming from.
helplessness. It was tormenting fourteen-year-old Ren that had tormented Vera of his childhood days.
I still don’t know what it feels like to be blind. However, Vera could sympathize with the feeling of helplessness.
Fear of being unable to do anything, of living like this and eventually dying. A parasite-like feeling that corrodes your heart and corrodes your life.
That is the feeling of helplessness.
What should I say? What should I say to comfort her?
As he continued to think, Vera recalled the words she had habitually said in a previous life, and spit it out.
“You never know.”
It was something she always said to hold on to her, to get her to stand up.
What came back were words with a deep scorn.
“What? Maybe I’ll see my eyes again. Is that what you want to say?”
Renee’s head turned to Vera. Vera opened his mouth once more, looking at Renee’s grimaced face.
“I don’t know. Even the gods in the sky do not know whether the saint is truly a man who cannot do anything, or whether she will become truly great.”
“It’s not even funny. And I am not a saint.”
“I’m sorry.”
Renee licks her lips. His expression frowned.
Rene, who lowered her head with such an expression, then continued with a deep breath.
“I’m sorry. I was too nervous. It’s not the driver’s fault… .”
After saying that, Renee turned and walked again.
Just right. The cane touches the ground.
Vera looked behind him and spoke with all his sincerity.
“A lot of people fall. There are also many who are trembling in fear.”
drop-.
Renee stopped walking. His gaze was still forward, Vera could not see the expression.
“However, I know that there are few people who do not give up even in such a situation.”
Vera looked at Renee with his back turned away from me, and spoke slowly.
The words that popped out were words that reminded me of her one day.
“castle… Renee was very pessimistic, but he did not stop. You are still moving.”
was different from yours. Contrary to herself, who only thought she would lie down resenting the world in that palace, she was still walking.
“You are working hard today for a tomorrow you never know.”
Thus, in the end, even this evil species became the light that succumbed.
“So, no one knows what the future Renee will be like.”
Honey, she wasn’t helpless at all.
Vera said with such a heart, and bowed his head.
silence falls The wind blows. Her shadow, which grew longer as the setting sun set, fell before Vera’s bowed head.
Just right.
There is the sound of a stick hitting the ground.
She moved on without answering anything like that.
