The Regressor and the Blind Saint chapter 43

The day Renee’s journey begins.

In front of Elijah’s gate, Renee and the apostles were in the midst of saying goodbye.

With the carriage in front of him, Bargo was the first to open his mouth.

“You should always put your health first. Don’t skip meals as much as possible, and if you think you’re going to get hurt during the journey, be sure to tell that guy. Do you know?”

“Ah yes.”

Words full of concern. Rene responded with a small smile to Bargo’s words, and then bowed her head to give her a final goodbye.

“Then I will go. Everyone is in good health.”

“Crek is healthy. The saint must be healthy too.”

“Marek is in good health.”

“Oh my gosh, the saint has already grown this much… .”

After the twins’ cry and Rohan’s emotional words, Trevor’s hoarse voice followed.

“Go carefully. Always take good care of your health… .”

Words that fade as you go back. Vera, who was filled with doubts, turned to look at Trevor, and he looked at Renee’s forearm with a face full of regret in Vera’s eyes, and then saw Trevor again.

thoughts that come to mind.

What a blasphemous bastard until this time. Even if you thresh like that, I can’t get my mind off it.

Vera, who was slightly furious, glared at Trevo with bloodshot eyes. Trevor was startled by those eyes and hid behind the twins.

A look that is not shrewd. Vera ‘tweeted’ Trevo’s actions, kicked his tongue, and then bowed his head towards Vargo.

“I will send you a letter whenever I come to town.”

“Come on, get to know me.”

“Yes.”

After a brief conversation, Vera, holding Renee’s hand, climbed into the wagon and directed the departure to Norrn.

The wagon, which was rattling and shaking, soon began to move forward with a ‘rumble’ sound.

Three days from the start of the journey. Two days left until reaching the Great Forest.

While sitting in the carriage, Renee suddenly closed her eyes and vomited despair.

‘I can’t think of a way!’

Naturally, it was the thought of Vera.

What if Vera falls in love with the fairies? So what if I declare that I will not go out to the Great Forest? What if I force myself to escape and run away to the great forest again?

A thought that has spread endlessly over the past few days and crawled into the realm of this delusion.

That was the delusion that stemmed from anxiety. If you are caught up in your thoughts all day long, your thoughts will become reality.

A week was enough time to engrave in Renee’s mind Vera, who had fallen for the fairies, and the fairies who smirked at him.

As a result, René’s hostility toward the fairies he had never seen soared as if it would pierce the sky.

‘Do, thief cats!’

I liked it first! I’ve only been able to hold hands yet! Why are you taking Vera away from the subject that appeared late!

Renee’s clenched fists trembled.

It was a very sad appearance, but now there was no one beside him to pinpoint René’s such delusions. All he has is Vera, who is looking at Renee, who is trembling alone, with worried eyes.

“Lady, are you uncomfortable with your seat? Let’s rest for a while, and we’ll get back to you.”

“Oh no!”

sparkly. Renee answered, shaking her body.

Rene then raised the corners of her mouth with a trembling movement, and answered with a bright face as much as possible.

“Oh, it’s been a while since I’ve been here, so I’m nervous… .”

“You don’t need to be nervous. I am here to make the saint feel as comfortable as possible. If there is anything that makes you uncomfortable, please let me know at any time.”

I feel uncomfortable because of you.

… The words reached the end of his throat.

Renee struggled to swallow the words he struggled to get out of his mouth at any moment, then nodded.

The same evening, the last city on the way to the Great Forest.

Vera moved along the boulevard past the city gates, parked his wagon in front of the inn, and spoke to Renee.

“Lady. arrived in the city. How about staying here today and leaving tomorrow afternoon?”

“Oh, good.”

“Yes, I will then.”

It was the first city I stopped by as I was traveling on the route to reach the Great Forest as quickly as possible in three days.

The three-day camp must have come as a big crowd for René, who had only been living in the Holy Kingdom.

Vera, who came to the city and thought that it was necessary to create the conditions for Renee to rest as much as possible, explained to Renee while recalling the information about the city that he had researched before leaving Seongguk.

“This is said to be the largest inn in the city. Many reviews say that the food is particularly delicious. Is there anything you would like to eat?”

“Uh… , I’m fine with anything. What about Vera?”

“I’m not a picky eater either… . So, would you like to leave the order to Norn and go to the dorm?”

“Yes. Please.”

Renee continued his thoughts by spitting out positive words over and over again.

‘Why are you doing so well?’

Of course, it was an unreasonable suspicion. All of Vera’s favor seemed questionable to Renee, already swallowed up by delusions.

It was because he remembered what the servants had once said in Seongguk.

– Married men say that if they do something wrong to their wives, they become kinder than usual!

– Oh, right! They say that if I cheat, I get stabbed by myself, so I do better than usual. Really, isn’t it funny? You’ll be fine as usual.

Considering the current situation, these words were quite plausible.

… ‘ thought Renee.

There were a few things that René missed due to her immediate anxiety.

First of all, Vera was not Renee’s husband. Second, Vera has always been kind to Renee. Thirdly, Vera had not yet met the fairies.

It was an unfounded misunderstanding that made it difficult to start pointing out, but it wasn’t important to Renee, who was already convinced that Vera’s heart was in the soybean field.

Renee continued to keep an eye on Vera as he entered the inn, unpacked his lodgings, and headed for the inn’s ground floor dining room when he said the meal was ready again.

The hands that were clasped involuntarily grew stronger, holding Vera’s hand tighter than usual.

“The meal is out.”

Hela’s words.

Rene, who had been paying attention to Vera until then, shook her body and answered.

“four!”

It was a loud voice.

The eyes of some passersby at a nearby table turned to Renee. Vera drove those glances away with a growling expression, and the meal continued after that.

So, while the meal was in full swing.

“Oh, Vera?”

Norn was lucky.

Norn recalled the thought of having to step out in the awkward atmosphere of the table and relieve the atmosphere, and continued talking to Vera.

“How about a drink? Well, it just makes me feel good.”

It was not a word that would normally come out of the mouth of a person who had to be escorted, but it certainly did not apply to Vera and Norn.

For those with divine power, drunkenness was something that could be driven out at any time, and their practice was not shallow enough to dull their senses even if they were to rise intoxicated.

Of course, if you want to stumble on drunkenness, you can do anything about it, but even in the whole of Seongguk, Rohan is the end of that kind.

Vera continued to ponder for Norn’s words, then nodded, thinking that it would be good to give Norn and Hela some rest as soon as they came to the city.

“good. You too, stop and eat. I’ll take care of the saint’s meal.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Renee lifted her head in the conversation and turned her head in the direction of Vera.

It was because the mental power that had already been cut to the point that it had begun to start a strange delusion.

‘alcohol… !’

pleasure! Flying Youth!

Drinking alcohol was no problem for Vera, who was already an adult, but Renee, who had been choking for the past few days, didn’t like it for some reason and asked the question with a clenched fist.

“Vera, are you drinking?”

“Yeah, I thought a glass or two wouldn’t hurt… . Why?”

rattle. Renee’s body shook. It was difficult to answer the ‘why’ question.

Renee’s head started spinning. It was to find a valid excuse, a word to keep Vera from drinking.

However, of course there was no logical reason to stop Vera, and Renee grunted and continued to ponder, eventually choosing to self-destruct.

“I, me too… !”

“Yes?”

“I want to drink too!”

The words that came out without thinking deeply in the moment of embarrassment. A word made with the idea of ‘I will drink all the alcohol Vera will drink.’

… But Vera, unaware of such circumstances, shook his head, thinking, ‘You have reached puberty.’

“You are a minor.”

“Ugh… !”

Renee felt her mouth shut at Vera’s words as she dug into the theory.

‘What do we do?’

Accidents were being forged sharper than ever. It was to come up with excuses to keep Vera from drinking, to keep him from speaking even when the glass was on the table.

Of course, there was no such thing.

Renee groaned in agony with no answers, then shook his hand and grabbed Vera’s arm tightly.

“Hey, it’s an order!”

abused power

Silence fell on the table.

Norn, who was holding the glass that had just been served, Hellado, who was receiving the glass from Norn, and Vera, who was facing Renee.

everyone froze

Renee suddenly realized what he had done in the sudden silence of the surrounding atmosphere and shook his body.

“Uh, um… .”

beep beep. A cold sweat was running down his forehead. His eyes closed tight again.

‘… Silly!’

The barely cool head made him realize the ugliness he had shown.

My head is cold, but why does it feel so hot? It must have been cold because it had cooled down, but why is it so hot?

While Renee continued to worry about unnecessary things.

“… as you wish.”

Vera spoke.

Vera continued his thoughts as he looked at Renee with a slightly sad look.

‘It should not be repressed.’

What is suppressed here today will remain as a waste, and René may be drowning in addiction later. He might become Rohan’s drinking buddy.

In addition, considering that they are still underage, there are very few children in this age group who have never drank alcohol.

Vera concluded that if Renee made a mistake, it would be up to him to take care of it, so he placed a glass of wine in Renee’s hand.

Renee felt the shame rise even more.

It was because he was able to vaguely feel Vera’s emotions through the voice he heard, even though it was impossible to see Vera’s expression because he could not see.

Renee was trembling with the shame that shook her body.

‘Hey, this is what happened!’

I decided to go with an iron plate on my face.

“I should have another drink.”

“no!”

“… Yes?”

“Today is the first day I drink, so Vera, please stay sane.”

There was no logic. There are only commands.

In fact, it should have been like this from the beginning, but now Renee didn’t have time to think about it.

Renee was upset.

I was ashamed.

If there was a mouse hole, I wanted to hide.

A feeling of uneasiness all over the body.

Renee felt that strange feeling, and tilted his drink.

It happened because of the taste of alcohol or the thought of seeing you.

What follows… , it was obvious

Renee was not specially trained to drive out drunkenness.

In other words, when you drink alcohol, you get drunk.

Like any children who drink alcohol for the first time, Renee, who drank alcohol over and over, without knowing how much alcohol he drank, set up a dark history that he would regret forever.
