The Blind Saint Who Can See - Chapter 70
Only Noblemtl
#70. Regrets that go back (2)
“Hey, what is it? It’s more dog hair than I thought.”
Kim Dong-sam.
The handsome man named Kim, the third child of the Kim family born in winter, stroked the boy below him while carrying a sword on his waist.
“I thought the men who came all the way here would be rich. The money bag is a lot lighter than I thought. Hey.”
The boy remained expressionless despite Kim Dong-sam’s complaints. Then he blurted out a word.
“money.”
“How blunt. That’s it.”
Kim Dong-sam took a fistful of the buckle from his pocket and threw it at the boy.
However, his unique habit of talking remains the same, and his mouth never stops talking.
“But that guy from the Western Continent, when I fought him, he was really skilled. He even used a sword? A sword!”
In the Confucian world, the term ‘black magic’ meant the same thing as ‘magic power’ to the rest of the continent.
A form of magical power wrapped around a sword.
It’s a dream come true for a prosecutor. But it’s not a very exciting story for Kim Dong-sam, the son of a thief.
“Hey, if only I could use a sword, I could live by robbing proudly instead of stealing easily. What a pity.”
“… … .”
Whoosh.
A little boy who wanders around without saying a word.
“Oh, kid! Are you going to help me steal tomorrow too? It’s the inn right next door!”
“no, I do not want.”
The little girl that Kim Dong-sam was talking about, Do Hye-won, turned around with a blunt attitude.
Even if he comes out like this, there is nothing Kim Dong-sam can do. There are only a handful of people in the neighborhood who can deal with Do Hye-won with speed.
Do Hye-won, who escaped from Kim Dong-sam’s hideout, climbed up the mountain path and opened the door to the secret house hidden deep inside and went in.
Then he takes off his hood.
“Phew.”
As he took off his hood, his blue fox ears rose skyward. So did his fluffy fox tail.
If someone who doesn’t know sees Do Hye-won acting like this, they will definitely scream that she is an evil monster.
Of course, Do Hye-won didn’t just have a tail and ears. She had a human frame, but aside from her short white hair, her entire body was covered in fluffy fox fur.
“hmm.”
The blue hand searching through the pouch is also, of course, a fox hand. Inside, there is a pink meat ball, and even the so-called paw jelly is properly attached.
If you are someone who spends every day staring into the abyss of the Internet and avoiding the present life, you would immediately exclaim, “Ah. It’s a pervert!” upon seeing Do Hye-won. After that, when you realize that she looks to be around 10 years old, you would tremble in fear, wondering if this is against the Juvenile Protection Act.
Fortunately for those wicked people, Do Hye-won’s physical age turned 20 this year. She was exactly twenty.
Also, as you can see from the word ‘bangnyeon’, she was not a boy. She was a beautiful woman of prime age. First of all, her ‘physical age’.
(For some reason, many people misunderstand this, but Myoryeong originally meant a woman in her early twenties.) But if you were to ask why a twenty-year-old woman who should be beautiful would act like this, it would be a very long story. It would be difficult to organize the story even if I talked about it for three days and nights.
And before I could even begin that long story, the door to the mausoleum opened violently as if it were going to be torn apart.
“Found it, you money thief!”
“?!”
At Izumi’s passionate shout, Do Hye-won, who was holding the sack, stood up.
Flash.
A holy meteor, which looks like a famous sword at first glance, is aimed at him.
A critical situation!
“If you just give me back the money, I’ll be in trouble…! Huh? Huh?”
While Izumi was hesitating after seeing Do Hye-won’s beastly appearance (she really was a beast).
Do Hye-won, who was holding the sack, quickly jumped over to the window on the other side.
Then put the pouch in your mouth.
Phong!
With a trivial sound effect, Do Hye-won transformed from a human-like beast into a blue fox. Then, as if she was used to it, she ran away into the bushes.
“… Huh huh?”
Izumi’s mouth dropped open at the unbelievable sight.
***
“It’s true!”
Izumi shouted.
“A person, no, not a person, but anyway, a pseudo-person has become an animal!”
“Does that make sense?”
Cedric said crookedly.
“A person like that? Even a passing dog would laugh at that.”
“I told you it’s true?”
Izumi felt wronged.
“Hmm, that’s a bit.”
“I can’t quite believe it… … .”
The other two had similar opinions to Cedric. They were treated as completely creative liars.
If Izumi knew that there was a real liar in the party, she would cry out of frustration.
Of course, Izumi didn’t cry because she didn’t know the liar’s true identity.
“Izumi, it’s okay that we couldn’t find the trove. We found half of it. The more you make excuses, the uglier it’ll get.”
“That’s not an excuse!”
Izumi turned her face towards Liliana.
Her green eyes shine so brightly that it’s almost burdensome.
“Look into my eyes of truth. Do I look like a liar?”
“What the heck.”
Suddenly, Liliana’s golden hair rose in a puff at the approaching face. Justinas watched the sight with curiosity, without anyone knowing.
As a side effect of her magic circuit being healed, her hair began to move on its own, depending on her mood.
“How dare you do such a disrespectful thing to the princess.”
Anyway, Liliana raised her index finger and pushed Izumi away. He didn’t resist and just let himself be pushed away.
“Yeah. It’s true. Sigh.”
“Hmm… what Izumi said could be true?”
“Youth?”
“Youth!”
Izumi’s eyes were filled with emotion.
“There is no other choice but Youth.”
“No, Justinas. Do you believe that nonsense now?”
“But there’s no reason for Izumi to lie.”
Justinus argued.
“And if you’re going to make excuses for not being able to find the treasure chest, would you say something ridiculous like the opponent was strong, or that you failed to track them down, or that you turned into an animal and hid in the mountains?”
“That’s… that’s true.”
“That makes sense.”
The other two also tend to be convinced by the reasonable grounds.
Thanks to this, Izumi was upgraded from a creative liar to a trustworthy guy.
Also, someone might wonder here:
Why is the warrior party outside and not in the prison?
I wonder if these kids kicked me out without even paying me.
Liliana answered his questions about it.
“… Anyway, it’s a good thing Justinas had some extra money. I almost ended up in jail the moment I got here.”
“Ahaha.”
Justinas smiled awkwardly.
This was quite a crisis situation for her as well, as she had lost all her luggage after being stranded in the desert.
Then, just before I was arrested, I remembered a pocket I had hidden just in case.
It was thanks to the anime that I suspected Izumi, who was secretly dark-skinned.
After all, doubt helps.
“Anyway, I found half of the money… …so I need to find the other half.”
“Well, that’s true.”
Cedric agreed.
Of course, Cedric would agree to anything Justinas said since he was a complete idiot, but it was true that he was short on money.
In the first place, it costs a lot of money for four people to travel. Especially since there is a princess (Liliana) who has spent her entire life lavishly, a woman who needs care (Justinas), and a noble young master (Izumi), money is running out.
As Cedric, he also didn’t want to save money for Justinas, so as a result, no one in the warrior party tried to stop him from spending.
“… … I don’t have any money.”
So this is what it looks like.
Jangle, jangle.
Every time Izumi shook her purse, it made an insignificant sound.
The warrior party was instantly ruined because their money was cut in half and the money they spent thoughtlessly at the restaurants ended up in the tourists’ pockets.
“That fox, I will never leave you alone.”
So the warrior party,
Fox hunting sortie.
