The Blind Saint Who Can See - Chapter 30
Only Noblemtl
#30. Blue Sky, Spring (1)
The blue sky of spring.
Summer hot weather.
Autumn dawn.
Winter upper heaven.
The Four Heavens, meaning the four seasons, were a hierarchy representing the four high-ranking demons just below the Demon King.
However, for now, the Demon King and the Heavenly King in charge of the winter sky are absent. Furthermore, Mincheon is on the western continent across the sea, so there are only two Demons left.
Even so, both Changcheon and Hocheon did not have very cheerful personalities. That was the kind of people the Demon Tribe was from the beginning.
“Your subordinates are also worthless. You said you would take over Terra within ten years, so what is this?”
“oh.”
At Hocheon Raven’s words, Changcheon Haru closed his eyes and smiled.
“Who was it that was robbed by the saint ten years ago and ran away to Su-guk?”
“… I just wasn’t serious at the time. I just retreated for tactical reasons because I believed I could deal with them sufficiently later.”
“Of course.”
The crow in front of the main body of the day trembled. The bird was a part of the lake that was cut off from the spirit body.
“Don’t underestimate the saint. I never thought that the plague I spread would be eradicated in two months.”
“Isn’t that the extent of your abilities?”
“Huh, think whatever you want.”
The crow snorted.
“If I reveal my true power, there’s no reason why I can’t kill that little girl.”
“hmm…….”
Haru shrugged.
Then, the string that was hanging around her neck slowly came loose, revealing her stunning figure. It was a body so captivating that any man would involuntarily glance at it.
But it wasn’t Raven.
“Well, I guess that’s true. After all, we can’t kill the saint right now.”
“Yeah. In that guy’s eyes… … .”
“Hocheon, just a moment.”
The corners of my eyes narrowed during the day.
As I turned my head, I heard my subordinate’s voice through the red-tinted communication port.
=Haru-nim, Ricardo, who was in charge of the slave market, sent an emergency rescue signal. It seems that the saintess has discovered his identity.
“…under!”
She burst out laughing.
“Anyway, those who were brought in late are useless.”
“You’re not just at that level?”
“Shut up.”
One day, a fist crushed a crow.
The crow that had crumbled into nothingness soon transformed into blue magic. It was a movement to return to the main body of Hocheon.
“… … .”
One day, I just slammed my desk down and stopped there for a moment.
=Mr. Haru?
“There is no reason to take care of such a worthless demon.”
=What is that… … .
“Just stay there.”
Her body changed.
Black hair and eyes are a charming pink that looks like it could captivate anyone at any moment.
The barely-there outfit is a brown one-piece dress that common girls from the local area would commonly wear.
She got up from her seat and laughed.
“The saint has visited the branch office after a long time. Shouldn’t we meet in person?”
The target, of course, was a saint.
***
[Cedric admires you.]
[Advance Points +20]
[Izumi admires you.]
[Advance Points +25]
[Diold feels deeply grateful to you.]
[Advance Points +15]
… … .
Look down at the long, continuous line of bees.
Before me was the captured Duke of Villa and the nobles.
They all knelt before Diold, who had regained consciousness.
“Wow, Your Highness the Crown Prince! Please show me some mercy just this once!”
“Be quiet. You will all be severely punished according to the laws of the land, so know this.”
Diold, who had come to his senses, took command of his soldiers with surprising speed.
In the process, there was an apology that included laying down all pride as a prince.
“I want to apologize for all the troubles I’ve caused you. But just this once, will you sincerely help me?”
The soldiers gaped at the sight of the crown prince bowing down to them.
The result is what you see now.
‘He’s a smart guy.’
He is a person who knows how to win people’s hearts.
Diold may not have been as clever as Liliana, but he was clearly the more suitable of the two to be king.
‘If only I had released his brainwashing a little earlier… … .’
Diold would have been a great successor by now, supported by all the people.
Thinking about it that way made my mouth water.
“Saint.”
With Diold captivating the nobles as a backdrop, Cedric, dressed in finery, approached me.
“I’m back.”
“Lord Cedric.”
Of course, I had noticed his approach from earlier. I pretended to have a serious expression on my face.
“I’m sorry for asking you to do such a difficult task.”
“… It wasn’t hard at all. Rather… … .”
His lips twitch.
It was a face that had many things to ask.
To Cedric, I must have been a god just now. She was invisible, but she knew everything as if she could see ahead.
That is also my intention.
I looked at him and furrowed the corners of my eyes.
The blue eyes that had stopped in place were gently hidden, and the wind blew. Cedric’s jaw muscles trembled slightly.
“It’s spring, but the wind is still cold.”
“… … .”
“Will you hold my hand?”
There is a sound of inhaling.
To others, I just have a blank expression like a robot, but I know.
He’s definitely shaking.
“…I will do so.”
“thank you!”
He held my hand stiffly, like a country boy escorting a woman for the first time. The pulse in the capillaries at the tips of his fingers was quick.
After checking Cedric’s physical reaction, I raised my magpie foot while Izumi and the others were busy eradicating the remaining nobles.
And whispers in his ear.
“There is a place I want to go.”
Breath touching my ear.
Cedric stopped without moving. Inside his cold face, you could see a boy struggling with unfamiliar emotions.
“Would you like to go with me?”
“Then let’s finish this… … .”
“I want to go now.”
Cedric’s words stopped.
I put down my raised feet and looked down.
“… No. I guess I shouldn’t leave this place.”
The point here is the bitter laughter.
The concept she was holding was Justinas, who ‘almost threw a tantrum in front of a knight who reminded her of her first love from 10 years ago, but now feels a sense of responsibility as a saint and is reproaching herself for her actions just now.’
After a brief moment of remaining true to the concept, she soon forces a smile and holds his hand tightly.
“Cedric, you should hurry up and help the others-”
“Where do you want to go?”
Hmm. Got it.
“No, that’s not it. I’m going to quit.”
Let’s take a step back here.
“It’s okay. After all, this is a problem that the locals will have to solve on their own.”
“but…….”
“I’ll just go for a little while.”
“…Is that so?”
I smiled with a slightly relaxed expression.
The plan was a success.
***
Cedric blinked.
“The place you wanted to come to… was this?”
“that’s right!”
The time when the sun is slowly setting.
Cedric, who had escaped with Justinas, was standing in the middle of the night market held in the royal square.
“Come on, fight! Fight!”
“Fruit juice is only 500 pesos!”
The tents on either side are noisily soliciting customers, and the inner alleys are packed with people milling about.
It’s a festival that’s fun for everyone.
However, for Cedric, who was sensitive to threats, it was rather painful. As an assassin, he had to keep his distance from others so that he could respond to attacks at any time.
furthermore…….
“There are a lot of people. Please hold on to me.”
“yes.”
Even my first love, who avoids people around her and clings to her more tightly than usual.
The skin touching each other across a single sheet of cloth is soft. Even though he is wearing a rough hood, the face that can be seen through it is smiling brightly.
Cedric tried his best not to let his pounding heart be heard.
‘Calm down, calm down.’
The job he was given was strictly escort.
I had to assist Justinas, who had difficulty moving, so that he could safely finish his tour of the market and return to the palace. No other selfish desires could interfere with that.
… but it seems like it has already failed.
“Lord Cedric, aren’t you feeling hungry?”
I almost collapsed at the breath that pierced my ear.
“… I’m fine.”
“No, let’s have dinner together and then go in. It’s embarrassing to be away from the place for too long.”
Is the darkness familiar to you now?
Despite the large number of people, Justinas showed no sign of nervousness. Instead, he held onto his arm more tightly than usual and whispered softly with a look of joy on his face.
“… I’ll take you to a restaurant. Do you have any food preferences?”
“then-”
Justinus whispered to him again.
A voice that pierces the eardrums. A small hand that touches your arm and shoulder. An atmosphere heated by the excitement of the festival.
I felt dizzy. It always did when I was with Justinas.
Cedric squeezed her hand lightly and squeezed his eyes shut tightly. At this moment, he was grateful that she couldn’t see ahead.
Because I don’t have the confidence to… manage my facial expressions.
“All right.”
Cedric slowly walked out of the crowd, supporting Justinas. He was extremely careful not to harm her even a single hair.
Finding the restaurant she mentioned wasn’t too difficult.
‘It’s an alley.’
Although it was a little outdated, it was much better than the night market that was bustling with people.
Thanks to that, the distance between the two returned to normal. Cedric let out a sigh of regret or relief at the falling warmth.
And that was when it happened.
“Please help me!”
A woman’s cry was heard behind me. It made my hair stand on end.
‘when?’
Even he, a man of considerable skill, did not notice the presence until he heard the voice. Cedric instinctively hid Justinas behind him.
In front of him, a woman with pink hair fell to her knees.
“Saint, my brother is very sick. Please have mercy on him!”
Cedric opened his eyes.
