The Blind Saint Who Can See - Chapter 34
Only Noblemtl
#34. One-shot spring dream (3)
phew.
Although his body is extremely cold, he is still breathing. As soon as Cedric regained consciousness, the wolf-like monster that had been biting me had its head cut off and disappeared.
Just before it turned to dust, the corner of the monster’s mouth was covered in my blood. Cedric’s right hand trembled slightly at the sight.
“Youth!”
He probably doesn’t know what he’s talking about, otherwise he wouldn’t be running towards me with that desperate look on his face.
“Youth, wake up. Please, Youth, Youth… … .”
I looked down at myself and him with my clairvoyance skill and thought calmly.
‘Is gambling a success?’
Just a moment ago, I was watching the confrontation between Cedric, who was lying down, and the wolf-type monster, and I threw down a gamble.
I will block the monster’s attack with my body and wake Cedric up.
If Cedric wakes up before Justinas’s breath stops, I win. If my death comes sooner than Cedric wakes up, that bastard wins.
My life is on the line now, so I’m the winner. I looked at my wounds with my clairvoyance skill and clicked my tongue inwardly.
‘You’re badly hurt.’
I think a nerve in my leg is severed.
Should I be thankful that it wasn’t my neck, or should I be sad that an unplanned obstacle was added?
If I die and wake up, will it be possible to heal severed nerves? If not, I’ll be in serious trouble. Surely it will work.
“You can’t die. Yus, please, please, please, please, please-”
First of all, we need to figure out how to deal with this panicked man.
“Lord Cedric.”
“Youth! Are you awake?”
“Yes, don’t worry.”
I smiled at him.
In fact, I can’t say that the gamble I made earlier was a very wise decision. The objective arrangement would have been to use Cedric as a shield to protect myself, and then heal Cedric when he wakes up.
But that wouldn’t be enough to gain Cedric’s trust. Even if it meant sacrificing a spare life worth 100,000 points, he had to win his heart.
“How can you not worry? There’s so much blood. If you, if you die, I-”
“Lord Cedric. Please listen carefully to what I say from now on.”
Cedric nodded at this.
“I think I’m going to die from excessive bleeding, so please apply pressure to my calf with my cloak.”
Cedric opened his eyes wide at the words, “I feel like I’m going to die.” He twitched like a helpless puppy, but he skillfully stopped the bleeding from his wound.
Perhaps because he was a former assassin, he was also very skilled in first aid. He was at a level where he no longer needed separate instructions.
“All right, Yus. I’ll find a place nearby where you can rest.”
“That’s difficult, Cedric.”
Cedric paused.
“It was you after all.”
His eyes grew bigger and bigger.
He tried to cover his mouth with his hand, but it was too late. Cedric, who had been confusing dreams with reality, soon seemed to slowly accept the current situation.
“Saint, sir. I… … .”
“We must find the warrior. The power of the Holy Spirit is absolutely necessary to destroy the revealed Changcheon.”
“…I am not feeling well.”
It’s not that I don’t have any feeling below my right calf. It’s still hard to tell if it’s temporary paralysis or permanent disability, but it looks like I’ll be in a wheelchair for at least a month.
But what can I do?
“Cedric can move it for you, right?”
He had a speechless face.
It was already embarrassing enough that his hidden identity was revealed, but he was even more worried about carrying me, who was seriously injured.
“It will hurt a lot.”
“The guilt I feel if I don’t resolve this situation will be much greater than the pain my body feels right now. … If I can’t do it, I’ll crawl-”
“I will do it.”
Crawling was a joke, but Cedric seemed to take it seriously. He carefully picked me up, sweating profusely.
“If it hurts even a little, tell me. If the wound opens, your life is in danger.”
“I’m fine,”
“no.”
He cut me off abruptly.
“The saint is the hope and mercy that God has given to mankind. Preserving her life is also the way to serve the greater good.”
This kid is good at talking.
I thought he would be stubborn if I brought up my own safety, so I put my life and my cause on the line. There is no better way to deal with ‘Justinas’.
Should I give you some rhythm at this point?
“… Yes. But I want to find you as soon as possible.”
“Don’t worry about that. That guy… no, I know where he is.”
Cedric answered obediently and started walking quickly. Even so, the shock I felt was almost nonexistent.
‘Is this an assassin’s method?’
If you look at the original game, you can see that they walk without any shaking.
No, not that.

“Izumi Oppa!”
“Uh, huh?”
“It’s morning! I have to go to work!”
“Oh, yeah, that’s right.”
Izumi woke up half-asleep as she saw Anna waking her up early in the morning. A room with clean white wallpaper came into view.
“I prepared breakfast. Eat quickly.”
“Okay. I’ll just wash up and come back.”
He headed to the bathroom, dumbfounded. As he walked in, he saw a modern tiled floor and a neat sink that were so familiar that it almost brought tears to his eyes.
“Huh…?”
So familiar that it makes you cry?
Why did that expression come to mind?
When I stare blankly at the mirror, the face I have been seeing for 28 years confronts me.
“Honey! The food is getting cold.”
“Sorry. I have to go out now.”
Izumi, who had been blinking for a long time, shook her head at her younger brother’s urging.
“You’re acting strange today.”
“What’s wrong? You must be tired because you came home late yesterday. I have to go to work too, so come to your senses now.”
“okay.”
He looked down.
As always, there was plenty of white rice. There was miso soup with a rich aroma, Anna’s special sugar-sweetened omelet, and even instant natto.
It is a simple but impeccable traditional home-cooked meal. After my parents passed away, my younger sister always prepared breakfast for me.
It was the driving force that allowed me to endure the difficult life of a resident. Izumi clasped her hands together and greeted.
“thank you for this food.”
“thank you for this food!”
The meal began with the siblings’ cheerful greetings. Anna, who was turning the natto with green onions, chattered.
“Yesterday at work, I kept getting a lot of noise asking me to introduce you to my brother. Where did they get the rumor that my brother is a doctor? It’s going to be a real pain in the ass from now on-”
“Anna.”
“huh?”
Izumi opened her mouth impulsively, feeling a new sense of unease.
“Thank you always.”
“What, you too, oppa.”
“I’m serious. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have even graduated from college.”
“Brother… … .”
Anna was silent for a moment.
In fact, the two siblings were not on good terms before their parents passed away.
It was difficult for my older brother, who was a model student and never missed first place throughout his school years, and my younger sister, who was better at counting grades from behind, to become close to him in many ways.
My sister changed after her parents passed away. After the funeral, she broke up all the inappropriate relationships and immediately started looking for a job. It was for her brother who was in medical school.
“Hmm, even if you say that, I’ll be the one spending all the money you earn in the future! Don’t just think about passing it off as a courtesy and give me a definite answer for the investment.”
“Ugh. This is too much. Are you planning on making this big brother penniless?”
“Of course. Be prepared!”
“Hey, you… … .”
Even if she said that, she knew very well that Anna wouldn’t be like that. Izumi’s only wish was for her younger sister, who had suffered so much until now, to meet a good man and get married safely.
‘I’m worried that I don’t have parents… … but it’ll be okay if I support you.’
Once you finish your residency and become a full-time doctor, your salary will increase significantly. Aside from the money, if there is a doctor in your family, it can also compensate for the disadvantage of not having parents to some extent.
‘Yeah. That’s it.’
Izumi nodded and finished her meal.
“I’ll be back.”
“Have a nice trip!”
After being seen off by Anna, I head to work at the hospital. I can’t remember how long it’s been since I’ve seen the sunlight on my way to work.
That’s the life of a resident.
=Next is Ueno, Ueno Station. The door to get off is on the right.
-Rrrrrrr!
As I was getting on and off the train as usual, my cell phone rang loudly.
“What’s going on?”
=Mr. Yuushi, can you come as quickly as possible? There’s a major traffic accident right now and we don’t have enough staff in the emergency room.
It was a heart-stopping demand.
“I’ll be there soon.”
After a short call, he immediately caught a taxi and rushed to the hospital. He usually walked to save money, but it must have been an emergency for him to call me right before he left for work.
“What about the patient?”
“Professor Takeya, please arrive soon.”
“I guess I should go to the fish market.”
As soon as he arrived, preparations for the surgery began without a moment to catch his breath. After changing into surgical gown, he hurried into the ward.
“You’re here? Come on in.”
“Yes, professor.”
The major surgery, which involved an anesthesiologist, a surgeon, and two residents, was successfully completed after a full 16 hours. The suffocating air slowly began to clear.
“I’ll go see the patient’s family. You take Nurse Sakura to the patient’s ward and come back.”
“yes.”
Only after Izumi came out of the operating room was she able to confirm the patient’s face and name.
