The Blind Saint Who Can See - Chapter 71

#71. Regrets that go back (3)
‘Fox. It’s a fox.’
I was lost in thought.
‘Are you a Suin tribe?’
“I was chasing the perfume I had sprayed in my pocket beforehand, and I came across a thatched-roof house. So I opened the door wide and there was a blue fox? But a human skeleton? Oh, what do you call this? Anyway.”
“A person, no, not a person, but anyway, a person-like being turned into an animal! In an instant, it turned into a blue fox, biting the money bag and running into the bushes, but it was so fast that I couldn’t catch it. Ugh.”
If Izumi’s testimony is true, there is nothing we can say other than that they were Suin.
The problem is that there are no characters from the Suin tribe that appear in the original work.
‘I’ve heard of it, but… … .’
However, if we limit it to Justinas’ knowledge, I have heard it.
It was a story told by Zephyrus.
“There are various races of Ain in the world. Among them, there is a race called the Suin race, which looks like a human with animal ears and tails.”
“Do you see this often?”
“I don’t know if they still exist now. There are records of them being used as slaves in the past, so I think there might be humans with animal ears somewhere in the world.”
“I see. Thanks for letting me know.”
‘Hmm. It feels different from what Izumi said.’
Zephyrus said that the beastmen of this world were not beasts with human skeletons, but rather they were like normal people with animal ears and tails.
I too was convinced immediately after hearing that story.
That makes sense, this is a Japanese light novel, right?
It was only natural that the appearance of the Suin tribe was that of a pretty girl/boy with only animal ears and a tail, which was preferred in the East.
But Izumi’s explanation is like.
‘A creature with the skeletons of a human and an animal mixed together.’
Isn’t that a completely Western preferred form of water?
No, it’s more ambiguous than that. He said he had hair too.
‘hmm…….’
I can’t imagine the real thing.
What on earth does it look like?
‘Well, you’ll know when you catch him.’
I am currently resting in the guest house, unable to contribute to the power supply.
If the original party of three warriors (feat. reinforced Liliana) are together, they can catch a fox in no time.
So what should I do?
“Hmm, it smells good.”
A cup of Yongbongcha to recover from your exhaustion from the disaster!
It’s called Yongbongcha, but in reality it’s just modified matcha. When paired with Chinese-style (although they insist it’s Chinese-style, anyone can tell it’s Japanese-style) sweets, it’s the world’s envy.
Because you’re sipping tea like that.
“excuse me.”
“…! (Fuck Mom!)”
Surprise!
Ghost, is it a ghost?
Thanks to ‘maintaining dignity’, I was able to avoid shaking, but my heart still pounded.
I turned around slowly.
Okay then.
“… … (This is crazy.)”
A blue fox.
It was a fox with a human-like appearance. It was the moment when Izumi’s explanation made perfect sense.
I opened my mouth, pretending not to be flustered.
“Who are you?”
“no.”
“?”
Did I hear wrong?
Is it correct to say no to the question, “Who are you?”
“Does that mean you don’t want to tell me your name?”
“yes.”
Oh, um. I see.
‘… …Is it because of the number of people?’
Maybe the language they use is different from that of humans. Thinking about it that way, it makes sense.
Why not? The way to learn a foreign language is to use grammar mistakes and strange phrases.
“I just thought so, no, actually I’m sure of it.”
“… … .”
“Are you the one who stole our money?”
“yes.”
“… … I see.”
What’s with this kid, he’s so confident?
A thief is a thief only if he tries to hide it, but he’s so confident that there’s almost no other robber out there. He’s secretive for a robber, and he’s also a bit, really cute.
That’s true, actually.
If the guy who stole the money was a hairy old man, I would immediately launch a hectopascal kick at him, but if it was a small and cute half-human, half-beast kid, I couldn’t help but wonder, ‘Could there be some reason?’
It was the evil of lookism.
“Are you in dire straits?”
“yes.”
“… … .”
I waited for a moment.
One little fox boy said no more.
‘Is the child… … not enough?’
It kind of looks like that.
I tried to negotiate with this cute thief.
“Can you give me my money back?”
“yes.”
“… … So you’re saying that it’s not allowed?”
“yes.”
It failed.
‘What should I do?’
Well, to take it by force.
No matter how flustered I was, I missed the kid even though Izumi was there. I don’t think I can catch him.
I don’t know how they got into that locked room though.
It was a time of deep thought.
Gulp!
A loud noise echoes through the room.
Because of my dignity-maintaining skills, such vulgar sounds do not come out of my stomach, so there is only one culprit left. No, one?
Anyway, there’s only one.
“Are you hungry?”
“yes.”
Now that I look at it, the cheeky thief’s gaze is fixed on the snack I’m holding.
No, but you don’t steal it?
“Are you here to steal cookies?”
“yes.”
Ah. You came to steal.
John X, you’re a proud kid.
My eyes grew cold.

Do Hye-won stared blankly at the woman in front of her.
Actually, at first I had no intention of revealing myself.
He is currently in a miserable state. If he were to be discovered to be neither beast nor human, he would be captured and turned into a guinea pig for some suspicious group, or he would be put on display in the streets as a spectacle.
This is why I can’t work properly. But I need money to eat, sleep, and live.
As a result, he became a survival thief, robbing mostly wealthy-looking tourists, buying essential food and supplies while wearing a hood, and then hiding in the mountains.
This time, the reason he came back to the village was because of those persistent bastards who were chasing him.
“Fox, where did you go?”
“Izumi, that’s not a fox, it’s a rabbit.”
“Is this really true?”
Do Hye-won, who was frightened by the three of them running around the mountain like catching mice, came to an inn near the road.
Now that I’ve been caught in my fox form, you probably wouldn’t think I’d come back to the market.
It was a strategy called ‘the darkness under the lamp’.
‘hungry.’
But I was kicked out without even being able to eat at home, so I was hungry.
I wanted to buy something to eat with my wallet, but fall is peak tourist season. Things are so expensive that it’s time to dig up wild vegetables and eat them.
In the end, Susanno Dohyewon looked at the price list, her hands trembling, and then she unconsciously jumped up at the sweet smell coming from outside the window.
Climbing onto the roof is no easy task for an animal.
As I was looking around the room through the window, I saw the woman who had stolen the money earlier, smiling gently and drinking tea.
What a coincidence?
Do Hye-won, who was curious, hid her body and observed the woman.
She was a beautiful woman.
The skin, illuminated by the sunlight streaming in through the window, sparkled so brightly that it was almost transparent. Another thing that shined brightly was the woman’s picturesque facial features.
How can someone in the world be that pretty? When he was stealing earlier, I just thought, “As expected, male actors are gorgeous.”
Looking closely, I could see that it wasn’t an ordinary pretty thing.
The appearance of a single, elegant flower was truly the best in the world. I even thought that the most beautiful of the hydrangeas, the hydrangea, should be rewritten as the hydrangea of the four flowers of the water country.
It was at that time that he was admiring and admiring for a long time.
‘Eyes?’
At first glance, I didn’t notice it because of its beauty. However, after observing it closely, I was able to quickly find that its blue eyes were quite strange.
Indeed. Are you blind?
A person who cannot see ahead would notice his appearance and not be surprised.
Thus, Do Hye-won appeared before humans for the first time in a long time.
“You don’t have to steal it. Would you like to eat it together?”
But this woman is very innocent.
Isn’t it true that they don’t even show fear when they see a strange intruder, but just smile and hand over a snack?
Do Hye-won looked at the woman with a strange look as she received the snack.
“It’s more delicious than you think. Come try it.”
… Is it because I don’t know what it looks like?
Maybe they just mistake me for a normal ten-year-old kid.
It’s been a long time since someone saw him as a person and not a monster. But that’s a separate thing from being on the streets for so long.
“Are you going?”
“yes.”
Do Hye-won, who had a mouthful of sweets in her mouth, went out the window just as she had when she came.
Then, she put on the hood that covered her entire body again, and her beast-like body was hidden. Do Hye-won quietly climbed the roof and put her hands in her pockets.
The anterior sac, the anterior sac is here.
“… … .”
anterior sac,
does not exist?
No one would steal money from a street beggar, so he must have dropped it somewhere.
How did I earn that!
Actually, I didn’t earn it, I stole it, and it wasn’t particularly difficult.
Still feeling empty, Do Hye-won stood blankly in the middle of the street for a while.
Meanwhile, at the back of the mountain at the entrance to Hwaguk.
Liliana, who had been searching diligently for the blue fox according to Izumi’s account, picked up a pouch that had fallen in the middle of the grass.
But the shape looks somehow familiar.
“…?”
Jangle, jangle.
“!”
It was Izumi’s money bag that she exchanged at the border of China.
