The Blind Saint Who Can See - Chapter 35
Only Noblemtl
#35. One-shot spring dream (4)
“Oh, teacher.”
The nurse next to me spoke.
“He was Korean. I was able to confirm his identity with the passport he had in his bag.”
“Yeah… I see. I’m a little surprised.”
“It’s a shame you had to come all the way to travel. I wish you could recover quickly.”
“… Yes. That’s right.”
Izumi nodded.
It was surprising that the patient was a foreigner, but it wasn’t particularly unusual. If someone is seriously injured, the rule is to have surgery at a hospital in that country, even if they are traveling.
Neither money nor procedures are more important than human lives.
But why?
‘I feel uneasy.’
A feeling of something unreal.
weird.
It’s so strange.
***
The busy daily routine continued without a moment to breathe. Even in the midst of all this, Izumi was still concerned about the unconscious Korean patient.
“Professor, when will that patient wake up?”
“Well, that’s what I’m worried about.”
Professor Takeya, who performed her surgery, spoke with an embarrassed look.
“There was definitely nothing wrong with the surgery. But strangely, I can’t open my eyes.”
“Is that so… … .”
It’s natural to be concerned if your patient is recovering slowly.
Izumi sighed and returned home after three days. She didn’t forget to send a text message to Anna.
[To. Anna] 10/30, 8:12
Today I can go home.
Do you want to have dinner together?
“hmm…….”
That’s strange. I’m not getting any replies.
Maybe she’ll have dinner with her coworkers from the publishing company she works at. Izumi went back to the nearby supermarket to buy some light groceries, feeling a little lonely. She was planning on making some curry.
But Anna didn’t return until he finished dinner alone.
[11:31]
Even though it was a company dinner, it’s strange to get home this late.
Izumi couldn’t stay still due to the ominous atmosphere and started pacing around the house. It was around that time that her cell phone rang loudly.
“Anna? What time is it-”
=Hello. Are you Anna Yuushi’s guardian?
“… Yes? No, yes. It’s my brother.”
=Please come to D University Hospital right now.
After the call ended, Izumi ran straight to the hospital. Her heart was pounding with desperation.
And when we arrived.
“I’m sorry. I tried my best, but by the time I got to the hospital… … .”
“……lie.”
Izumi muttered blankly.
“That’s a lie!”
As he shouted loudly in his casual attire, everyone’s attention turned to him. However, no one whispered.
This is a hospital emergency room.
It is a place where people die every day. If a young patient dies in an accident in such a place, it is easy to see the bereaved family members screaming in despair.
The only difference is that Izumi herself was a party to the situation from the perspective of watching. She didn’t even shed tears at the unbelievable reality.
As he was about to collapse in despair, a nurse who still did not know what was happening spoke to him.
“Huh? Mr. Yuushi! You haven’t gotten off work yet? That’s good timing.”
“what…….”
“The Korean patient you were in charge of before has disappeared!”
She said with a worried look on her face.
“It would be dangerous if the life support machine was pulled out for too long. If we don’t find it quickly, we’ll be in big trouble. … Hey, doctor?”
“Sakura-san.”
As Izumi remained dazed, another nurse who had witnessed his situation tapped her shoulder.
“The teacher said that your younger sibling… … .”
“… …Let’s find it together.”
“Are you okay?”
“……yes.”
It was impulsive.
Maybe I wanted to escape from the unbelievable reality. Looking at my brother’s cold face, it didn’t feel real at all, so I wanted to somehow immerse myself in work.
“… … .”
Even though I said that, I don’t know what to do.
Is it really true that Anna is dead?
Could this actually be a dream?
There’s no way Anna would be there in the first place. Why would a child who hates going to the hospital be in the emergency room?
Why on earth… … .
“……why?”
Why do I feel so uncomfortable?
It’s weird.
No matter how I think about it, it’s strange.
He was lost in thought and before he knew it, he was on the rooftop. There was no one on the rooftop in the middle of the night.
No, just one.
“Hello, doctor.”
She was a woman so beautiful that it took your breath away. Her smooth face behind the white veil seemed almost sacred.
“Or should I call you warrior?”
“who……?”
Izumi, who had been muttering, realized something.
Izumi Polly.
That’s his name.
Yuushi Izumi is dead.
[10/31 12:01]
Exactly… …on Halloween.
That was the true nature of the feeling of discomfort.
“Saint?”
“This is all a nightmare.”
Justinas came closer and cupped his cheek.
“Everything, a nightmare… … .”
“Yes. It’s a nightmare.”
She smiles faintly.
“It’s time to wake up from the dream.”
“What should I do?”
“It’s simple.”
Izumi’s appearance has changed.
Izumi, who was now wearing the warrior’s attire, caressed the holy sword on her waist.
“I guess I have to die.”
Justinas nodded.
Izumi smiled.
“That’s easy.”
If Anna were alive in this world, even if it was just a dream, I would still have feelings for her.
But it didn’t matter now.
Izumi held her sword tightly in her hand and walked past Justinas to stand at the edge of the rooftop.
The light brown hair that symbolizes the Polly family flutters. The roads of modern Japan do not suit it.
He jumped willingly.
“…omg!”
Then a familiar world enters.
Above him was a saint.
“Did you sleep well, warrior?”
“Get up, you piece of trash.”
“aha…….”
Izumi muttered as she sat up.
“Yes, well. It was a dream I never want to have again.”
***
Meanwhile, Liliana was also wandering in her dreams.
However, what was different from Izumi and Cedric was that she recognized this situation as a ‘dream’.
‘Strange World Army.’
Diold still runs wild like a rascal, and his caring father, blinded by the loss of his mother, commits tyranny.
‘Is it because there are no saints?’
Researching history, it turns out that the turning point of this world was the appearance of a saint.
In other words, this is a world without saints.
“Hello, Princess! I am Izumi Polly, who has been given a mission this time.”
“Oh. Okay.”
Soon after, a warrior came to receive an appointment to the kingdom.
Liliana greeted the warrior calmly. It wasn’t long before he caught on to Diold’s strangeness.
“Your Majesty, don’t you think there is something strange about His Highness the Crown Prince?”
“He was brainwashed by the demons.”
“As expected! Then I guess I have to kill the demons.”
“Wait. What?”
Before she could stop him, the warrior blatantly killed Duke Villa.
“Izumi Polly, you are under arrest.”
“Huh? Me?”
“Follow me obediently!”
And then he was taken to prison.
“???”
Liliana opened her mouth in amazement. What kind of a fool is that? It was a reckless breakthrough, the opposite of the saint’s refined approach.
Fortunately, Diold’s brainwashing was somehow broken, but getting the hero out of prison was a distant dream.
Liliana had no choice but to go to the dungeon with food for the foolish warrior, to tell him the secret escape route.
“…There isn’t any?”
But the warrior disappeared.
After being hit in the back of the head for the second time, Liliana stumbled back to her bedroom and almost fainted.
“Shhh! Princess, please hide me for a moment.”
Because some shameless warrior was trespassing on her bed.
“I will infiltrate the slave trade tomorrow. It is a matter that has already been discussed with His Highness the Crown Prince Diold.”
“What are you… … .”
“Just wait a moment. I will root out the evils of this country.”
The warrior smiled confidently.
And a few days later, the warrior really did beat up the slave caravan. Liliana watched the warrior receive the commendation for his crimes, lost in thought.
‘How long will this dream last?’
There is no such thing as foolishness in a world without saints or mothers. But being trapped in a dream for a month was driving me crazy.
“Your Majesty, when you can’t see what’s ahead, giving up is also an option.”
Before she opened her eyes from her dream, she kept thinking back to the last conversation she had with the saint.
“Give up…? Give up.”
Liliana’s face became serious.
Let’s think about it.
What does it mean to give up?
The answer is death, because the moment you give up on life, all opportunities are gone.
In fact, I had this thought from the moment I realized I was dreaming. But… … .
… but is that really the answer?
A saint is someone who values others’ lives more than anyone else. It is unimaginable that such a person would carelessly recommend death to another person.
Of course… … If you look at it that way, those words themselves weren’t like her. When I first heard them, I thought she was just teasing me.
Did she know it would turn out like this from the beginning? That’s why she suddenly started talking about giving up, something that didn’t even make sense…
“… … .”
okay.
Liliana admitted.
Certainly, I was complacent about this situation. I wasted my time in vain, hoping that if I just waited, it would wake up on its own someday.
But now it’s really time to do something. I’ve been waiting for a month, and watching any longer is nothing more or less than running away.
Liliana thought about this for a while, then suddenly a question occurred to her.
‘If this is my dream, how will it change when I step outside the scope of my knowledge?’
I have lived in the royal capital my entire life. I have no idea what happens the moment I leave this city.
So she borrowed a horse.
“Where are you going, Princess?”
“I’m thinking of taking a walk around the capital to change my mood. I’ll be back before dinner, so don’t tell anyone.”
She has a knack for horseback riding. Liliana quickly covered herself with a cloth and left the palace through the servants’ passage.
The goal was a straight line. She had no worries about getting lost, as she could even remember her dreams perfectly.
“Irya.”
After a full day of running at full speed, whip swung, Liliana felt that her prediction was correct.
The surroundings gradually become blurred. The surrounding scenery has been repeating itself without any change since a while ago.
“…hmm?”
That’s when I saw ‘it’.
That was… something unknown.
A square space that shakes and sways while the same background repeats.
As I got closer, the shaking space became clearly visible. Inside, green circles and sticks were repeating in a certain pattern.
Soon, unknown characters appear.

I reached out towards the distortion as if possessed.
Immediately after, she woke up from her dream.
