The Blind Saint Who Can See - Chapter 51
Only Noblemtl
#51. Lake of the Dead (5)
I almost rolled down the stairs.
As I opened the front door and went out, the raindrops, which seemed to be much thicker than before, hit my whole body painfully.
I covered my face with my palms as the water rushed into my mouth and eyes. My nun’s habit, made of a thin sheet of cloth, was already soaking wet, revealing the silhouette of my body.
I felt an unpleasant chill. Nevertheless, my steps toward the dark blue lake, hidden in the darkness of the night, continued.
That was when.
“Youth!”
The moment my feet were about to slip in the mud, someone caught my body.
“What the heck is this!”
“Hey, Izumi?”
Likewise, water drips from our bodies soaked in rain. In the late autumn rain, the two of us stared at each other for a moment, silently.
Soon, the reprimands begin to pour in.
“You’re covered in wounds! What the hell were you doing here?”
“Izumi-sama, why are you out at this hour of the night… …?”
“That, that.”
Green eyes fluttered.
If you just lied and said you happened to see me and followed me, that would be the end of it.
“The person who is most precious to me in the world called me… … .”
He speaks so frankly.
It seems that the protagonist, who is naturally bad at lying, never had the option to ‘lie’ in the first place. That’s so different from me.
“… … Me too.”
So I became honest.
It was the first time.
“The precious person I left behind called me with such a vivid voice.”
“… … .”
“I knew I shouldn’t, but I had no choice but to come out.”
“Youth.”
“Isn’t that disqualifying me as a saint?”
I tried to smile. Actually, I don’t even know how I’m smiling right now.
If you want to go back, you shouldn’t be acting so irrationally.
-Yuna, I miss you.
-You don’t have to get a PhD or anything, just open your eyes. Mom, Dojun, our daughter… … The family of four went on a picnic to the park for the first time in a while.
It won’t work.
-My dear daughter, come here.
-I’ll wait at the lake.
It really doesn’t work.
Izumi, standing in front of me, also trembles.
“Oh, no, your majesty.”
He hugged me, forgetting even the friendly title he had tried to use.
“This is all fake, right?”
“Izumi-sama.”
“The person I love isn’t here… … He can’t be at the lake.”
“Izumi-sama.”
“That can’t be, Anna!”
It was a fierce cry.
“Are you there? Anna! My brother will go look for you now. Yeah, it’s cold and lonely.”
“Izumi-sama!”
“I’m sorry I left you alone. Let’s stay together.”
“Stop!”
I wanted to catch him.
But it wasn’t enough.
Izumi is a hero.
My field of vision is different from that of an ordinary person, I am physically disabled, and I am much weaker than an ordinary woman, so there is no way I can catch him.
-Sister, come to the lake.
-I’m here.
-Why is it so cold? I’m lonely. I miss you because you’re not here.
And this fucking noise.
‘Don’t make me laugh.’
I clenched my teeth.
‘Lee Do-jun doesn’t say things like that!’
He’s that guy who always lives with his nose up high and proud of his luck.
Don’t just believe in your pretty face and seduce not only your peers but also older people.
Getting slapped by girls is a daily occurrence. In the meantime, I’m good at studying, but my school keeps calling me saying I’m a slacker.
That, that shameless guy is my brother.
“It’s too bad. … I can’t win with such shallow skills.”
Yeah, I got it out.
I felt better when I ignored Dojun’s pitiful cries ringing in my ears and my parents calling my name.
… that’s not true.
The urge to run to the lake and jump in still grips me, but I just have to persevere with superhuman mental strength.
“Izumi-sama… … What should I do?”
He looks like he’s going to drown in the lake at any moment.
no.
My main character.
You must not die.
Then I.
I won’t be able to see my family.
“Stop, Izumi!”
“… … .”
“Stop it!”
I ran again.
I ran at full speed to save the protagonist, who was so naive and foolishly devoted to his younger brother, from going to die.
“That’s not my brother!”
Slipping on the muddy floor and scraping my knees, a total mess.
“You know!”
He shouted louder than he had since he became Justinian.
“The real treasure lies elsewhere!”
…ah.
But that’s not possible.
Can’t reach… … .
Izumi is now standing in the lake. If she takes just a few steps forward, she will be closer to the center of the lake.
If you go to deep water in your current condition, you will die.
My precious protagonist.
My hands were shaking with a deep frustration rising from the tips of my toes.
“Cluck, cluck!”
I can’t even scream anymore. I can’t move my legs. Even though I have the pain-insensitivity skill, my whole body is freezing.
Maybe a bone or two were broken.
But what’s more desperate than that is that no matter what I do now, I can’t save the protagonist.
You shouldn’t have come here.
Just sleep well in the carriage.
I should have bought an eye that sees magic soon.
A lot of regrets come to mind.
And then.
A skill that I had forgotten because of the chaos flashed through my mind.
=Izumi! Stop!
A message that rings directly in your head.
“…ah.”
Izumi, who was walking further into the lake, raised her head.
He came to his senses and splashed about, then got out of the lake and started running towards me like a madman.
Her cheeks were completely wet.
In the heavy rain that was hard to tell whether it was tears or rainwater, Izumi, who was much taller than me, sat down with reddened eyes.
“Sir, I’m sorry. I, I didn’t mean to do that.”
“are you okay…….”
“It’s not okay! Oh, what should I do? There’s too much blood. The mud is going to get you infected. We need to move you indoors quickly. I need to take a picture of the city, the city-”
He kept talking nonsense.
When I turned my gaze away from my dazed mind and looked at my tail, I could understand why he was flustered.
It’s a total mess.
You rolled around in the rain too much.
“Calm down, Izumi.”
“How can I calm down? It’s because of me that the saint has become like this!”
“no.”
I stretched out my weak hand.
I wanted to wipe his cheek.
“I’m sorry. I was going to clean it for you. I ended up making it dirty.”
“Does that matter now?”
“…It’s important.”
I smiled brightly.
Izumi seemed to have definitely come to her senses now. There was no way my precious protagonist would commit suicide again.
“Your Majesty, I-”
“yes.”
I was laughing softly with a cold pain, when the shouts of two other people from behind rang in my ears.
“Justinas!”
“Youth!”
Liliana and Cedric.
The two people came running in shock at the sight of the two of us in such a mess.
In particular, the one who was more worried was me than the sturdy Izumi. Cedric’s face turned completely pale and his hands were shaking.
“While I wasn’t looking. How, why, ah. No, Yus, don’t, don’t die. Come to your senses. Okay?”
“shut up!”
Cedric, who had been fidgeting for a while, finally became quiet after being hit in the spine by Liliana.
“The patient is in complete rest. Don’t you even know that much common sense, commoner?”
“… Huh.”
Cedric’s fist clenched.
In the meantime, Izumi came to her senses and hurriedly hugged me.
“Let’s move him inside quickly. The priority is to determine the extent of the bruises and whether there are any fractures. Of course, as Liliana said, he needs to be rested as well.”
“That’s what I think.”
“… You’ll need water, right? And bandages.”
“Yes! Please!”
A situation that is going crazy.
My eyes close even though the noise is not something that would make me sleepy.
“Izumi-san, … … I’m sleepy.”
“You can sleep.”
Izumi, holding me in her arms, soothed me in a low, soft voice.
“If you take a deep breath and wake up, everything will be better.”
He is a reliable doctor.
The original protagonist is a good person.
With a sense of relief welling up in me, I said my final goodbyes to him before falling asleep.
“… … I will believe you, my warrior.”
My main character.
