The Regressor and the Blind Saint

The pure white metal ran faster than the horse.

From Elia at the southern tip to the east, the road that Vera once walked all the way with a brisk mind.

This time with the woman I wanted to meet there.

The warm sunlight and wind of the season transitioning from spring to summer joined them on their journey.

Woo woo-.

Two days of moving about ten hours and resting the rest of the time.

The village we arrived at had a landscape that was hard to talk about.

A small town with a large watermill that catches your eye first.

Rene, who arrived at Remeo in the Kingdom of Horden, said as she set her hair fluttering in the wind.

“long time no see.”

“Yes, it’s been eight years.”

The day I went to heaven and saved her, I arrived here at Remeo.

After that, the two returned to a place they had never been to, and started walking holding each other’s hands.

Walking along the dirt road, we arrived at a small house with an impressive red roof.

It was the house where she was born and raised.

“It’s the same.”

“I bought this land. I left it there just in case it would come back someday.”

“Did you even do that?”

“Am I not right after all?”

Vera chuckled.

Renee opened her eyes wide, and then answered with a smile, ‘Puffy’.

“I can’t stop. really.”

It was a gentle emotion that floated on her face as she shook her head as if she couldn’t help it.

*

Although he had bought the land, the house was full of dust because he did not manage it separately.

The two looked at the dust floating around in the house and laughed as if in dismay, then opened all the windows and simply brushed off the dust.

It was a house where I would stay for three days at most, so I didn’t bother to clean it up.

After cleaning, the first thing I did was head to the hill behind the village.

Somewhere in a village cemetery full of small tombs, the two found a tombstone and closed their eyes in silence in front of it.

The name written on the tombstone is ‘Cobb’.

He was Renee’s father.

“… He was a good person.”

“Is that so.”

“Yes, right? It must not have been easy for a man to raise a child by himself, but he always cared about me even when I was busy with farming. When I was sad, I couldn’t afford it, so I bought chocolate from a nearby city.”

It was a person who passed away when Renee was 12 years old, and that is why he was a person who remained in pain for Renee.

“You cared for me until the day I died. He was the one who robbed all the money he had saved, left this house and asked the people of the village to entrust me. Thanks to you, it turned out great, but… .”

Rene’s lips were closed as she continued to speak.

Sadness began to form in his eyes as he looked at the tombstone.

“… He was such a father, but I can’t remember his face.”

Vera grabbed Renee’s hand.

Renee smiled bitterly and added more words.

“He was a man with brown hair and sparkling blue eyes. I only vaguely remember that.”

Even though I have now opened my eyes, I can’t hold on to the time that has passed, and there’s no way I can remember my father anymore, so it was a pity.

“I was able to be this happy because of my father, but in reality, my father doesn’t see me like this. So I’m worried. I wondered if heaven was worried about me.”

“No.”

Renee’s gaze turned to Vera.

Vera continued with a smile, wiping away the moisture from René’s eyes.

“Surely your father knows that you have become so happy. You are none other than a saint. Even in heaven, you will be cherished by the one who gave birth to you and raised you.”

Renee’s eyes widened slightly.

Then, it was folded neatly into a crescent shape and embraced the sparkle.

“Is that so?”

“I’m not sure.”

“You look confident.”

“If I promise I will, Lushan will make it happen. Heaven is clearly his realm, so he will take good care of his father, even in order to improve himself.”

“Looks like a scammer.”

“What would you do with the essence of the promise?”

fast food.

A smile broke out between the two of them.

It’s such a consolation.

As Renee remembered that thought and started to giggle and laugh, Vera wrapped his arms around Renee’s shoulder with a more relaxed expression on his face.

“Shall we go back?”

“Yes, it is.”

Renee and Vera’s eyes turned to the monument, and then to the thick pile of dirt behind them.

Renee looked at it for a moment and then wiped the stone with a smile.

“I will come again. i love you.”

After saying that, he turned back.

Renee moved away, but Vera remained.

Vera, who made a ‘hmm’ sound as if he was thinking about it for a while, immediately placed his hand on the tombstone and released his powers.

“Please take good care of me. I will definitely check it later.”

It was a message to Lushan.

Vera did not know if he would be able to communicate in this way.

It was because I believed.

If it’s Lushan, I’m sure he’s watching all of this.

“Vera?”

At the call of Renee who was going down, Vera lifted his hand and headed towards her.

“Yes, we are going.”

I walked slowly away from the tombstone.

A faint golden light lingered on the tombstone where the two had left.

*

What the two of them did in Remeo was nothing special.

bump-.

bump-.

Holding hands, one day we walk again on the road we walked at a distance.

Then I stop for a moment in front of the watermill and look at it, and then I go to the stream next to the village and soak my feet.

After a long walk, when the sun goes down, I come home and have a little late dinner… Had ‘dinner cooked by Vera himself’.

“You should learn to cook from me.”

As the arrogant Renee said so, Vera didn’t even listen.

After both of them had a satisfying meal, it was a starry night.

Remeo’s weather was so clear, the two felt happy just looking at the sky while embracing each other.

A day spent just concentrating on being with each other and not caring about anything.

That alone made me burst into laughter at the feeling of being faithful.

“It’s going to be summer soon.”

“Yeah, Lennon liked it because he said there would be a lot of bugs.”

“I don’t understand boys at that age. How can you like bugs? Did Vera do the same?”

“I didn’t hate it. Once you chew on an insect, your hunger goes away.”

“… I am sorry.”

front yard of the house.

Renee’s lips clenched as she sat on Vera’s lap and looked up at the sky.

Vera giggled and tickled Renee’s back.

“Shut up?!”

“It’s a joke.”

“Who in the world jokes so seriously?”

Vera’s smile deepened as the eyes shot with resentment.

“I’m laughing, who should be sad, isn’t it a joke?”

“I couldn’t. really.”

cock.

Renee stabbed Vera in the side.

Then he leaned his head against Vera’s chest and whispered quietly.

“… Still, you did a good job.”

“What do you mean?”

“It’s grown so safely. From a hunter to a gutter… Puff! You became a king, didn’t you?”

“Yes, you have truly become a saint.”

“Yeah, hey, majesty~.”

As Renee died, Vera’s eyebrows lifted.

While their sharply forged gazes collided, the two burst into laughter at the same time.

“You don’t want to say a word.”

“Would you do it alone?”

“Come in. It’s getting colder now.”

“Yes, I do.”

Vera got up, holding Renee in his arms.

Renee said, wrapping her arms around his neck in a very natural form.

“By the way.”

“Yes.”

“Are we two today?”

Vera’s gaze turned to Renee.

Renee was licking her lips with her eyes narrowed as if she was trying to make a bewitching face.

Vera let out a smirk.

“What is it? that.”

“You know what to ask?”

Shhh-.

Renee stroked Vera’s neck.

“Would you like to make a gift for the children?”

“Well, the present is my younger brother, so be prepared. Are you trying to say something like that?”

“I know.”

It was Vera who responded relaxedly, but Vera’s heart was already pounding.

A night in the countryside with a serene silence.

It was because of the thought that the starlight that illuminates the sky, even in her eyes, looked so beautiful.

Looking back, it was really just the two of us after a long time.

Vera said, feeling a tinge of emotion.

“You have to be prepared.”

Renee made a ‘wow!’ and then said, hugging Vera even tighter.

“Don’t think of me as the old me!”

It was a clear declaration of defeat that even a fool could understand.

The two entered the house with the red roof.

The night sky, which had shone bitterly, suddenly began to lose its light due to the flowing clouds.

There was no change.

That night, Renée suffered a devastating defeat, as it had ever been before.

I tried and tried again and again, but I was defeated nonetheless.

A trip to Lemeo for about three days.

The two of them left together and became three when they returned.

*

The seasons flow non-stop.

Elia at the southern tip burned with the heat of summer, dyed red in autumn and dressed in pure white in winter.

As always, the incidents were constant.

Also, the laughter didn’t stop.

The only green hut in the white Elia was wintering with such a smile.

A silhouette is seen through the window of the lit hut.

There were two large silhouettes and two smaller ones.

There was a man inside me.

A man who was born as a mean hunter in the gutter and wanted to take hold of the world in his hands.

A man who just gave himself up to greed and realized what was truly precious in the end.

A man who finally wanted to protect the treasure he had in his hands despite suffering and sorrow, as well as pain and difficulties blocking his way.

Next to the man who thought he would be left alone at the end of his life, there was a white woman like a snowy field.

In their arms, a girl resembling a man and a boy resembling a woman were smiling together.

And a little life that had not yet been born was being born.

it’s a long long journey

The path that a man had to walk until he came to the middle of such a landscape was a process that had to be said, but for a man, it was worth it.

The man no longer wanted wealth.

It’s because I got a more precious smile than that.

I didn’t want a house like a palace.

It’s because they got a warmer little nest than that.

He didn’t even want power.

It is because he has finally found his irreplaceable place.

The man would spend the rest of his life there.

For the happiness I finally got, for the real miracle that gave it to me.

Lived for me, lived for you, now live for us.

After all, he was not alone.

The man who walked slowly and finally reached the light, the woman who stood by him and the children between them.

so they

They would live happily ever after.
