17 – #04. Eyeless pilgrim (4)

Three days had passed since the meeting with the pilgrim, but it was still a bit complicated to stay calm in the inn.

Money is money, and above all, it is frustrating.

I really wanted to go outside for a bit, but I don’t know what to do because I don’t remember going outside outside of work.

“Is it okay to just walk like this?”

“Yes, I like this.”

First of all, I went outside with Lenny today.

By the time spring goes by and summer approaches.

As the sun was getting stronger, she crudely got her parasol and put it on Lenny, and the girl liked to walk slowly with her cane on her ground.

“It’s still a long way from the show.”

“It’s okay. I just feel the atmosphere around me slowly like this.”

Perhaps it was because of the talk of the war, the common minstrel was nowhere to be seen.

Of course, there are some people who live in this city, but unfortunately I am not familiar with such cultural aspects, so I am not sure when they perform.

“Uncle.”

“Huh?”

“Could I hear a story suitable for this time?”

Talk.

I thought for a while about Lenny’s words.

I often liked to tell people stories and fairy tales from Earth, so others often called me a storyteller.

Not only is it not a story I actually created, but I’m just talking about it because I don’t have anything to say, so I didn’t like that title, but if you like it.

“A story suitable for a day when the sun is shining brightly.”

If that’s the case, that’s one thing that immediately comes to mind.

“There is a saying about the north wind and the sun.”

“The North Wind and the Sun?”

“Yes. One day the sun and the north wind made a bet.”

It was a simple story.

The sun and the north wind made a bet to undress a traveler, and against the north wind, which raged wildly, the traveler put on more clothes. .

“As a result, the defeat of the north wind, driven by a rough wind. Taeyang spent time steadily with that warmth and eventually took off his coat, something like that.”

“…… It’s a strange story.”

“Isn’t it?”

But isn’t it a fable suitable for a hot day like this?

Besides, it wasn’t without lessons.

The north wind, which tried to get things done quickly, failed in the end, and the victory of the sun, which advanced toward its goal slowly, even if it took time.

Of course, since it is a fable, the assumptions and situations are somewhat one-sided, but there is no need to approach such a logical part in a story like a traditional fairy tale.

“Especially, I thought a lot about the part where the north wind, which tried to handle things with force and violence, lost, and the sun, which tried to soften it gently, won.”

“Huh? Ah, there must be such an interpretation.”

I’ve never thought about that part.

Listening to Lenny’s words and thinking about it, the north wind’s treatment was strong in the end to try to solve it by force.

On the other hand, the sun warmly embraced him and softened his guard.

“There are things that cannot be achieved through force and violence. Isn’t that a story with a lesson?”

“That is the mind of the interpreter.”

Tidy up the wind-tangled hair of the girl.

Clearly, Lenny was a thoughtful child.

In this era, it was difficult for children in remote villages to receive a proper education, and in particular, small villages with girls seemed to be difficult to receive education given their size.

Isn’t it quite deep for a child who was in such a place?

Rather, every time I get stabbed in a place I didn’t think of, I think, wouldn’t this child show a more witty side if he gets a proper education?

“Brother, are you good at storytelling?”

So I was about to move on when I heard a voice right behind me.

Thinking it must have been a voice I heard somewhere, I turned my head and saw a group of people approaching us, including the pilgrim I had seen before.

“Ah, pilgrim.”

“It’s a title of honor.”

The old man shook his head and smiled.

“I just heard the story interestingly. It’s only apologetic that it happened to be eavesdropping, but the basic doctrine of s*xual intercourse is to avoid unnecessary violence and make this world more beneficial. In that respect, I was deeply impressed by the brother’s story.”

“Is that so?”

I was surprised that we met so suddenly, but I had no words to say when I said it this far.

It wasn’t a story I created, it was just a fable common in our world.

“There is too much violence in the world. There is no central point to unite the divided world, and the demons are still looking at this world.”

The old man smiled kindly and shook his head.

“I want to fix it. Furthermore, I went on a pilgrimage to find the answer to the doctrine by seeing the world, but in the middle of that process, there are also welcome encounters like this.”

“It’s a bit embarrassing if you raise it like that.”

A priest who can see spirits.

He exudes an aura of mildly soothing surroundings, but I still feel a little awkward, perhaps because of those empty eyes.

“One chance encounter is just passing by. However, if that encounter is repeated several times, wouldn’t that be considered inevitable?”

The old man turned his head slightly.

“If you have free time, would you like to join us for a while?”

“Ah, that… ….”

Hearing this reminds me of religious invitations in modern times.

Of course, if you consider a nobleman of the level of a pilgrim and the position of s*xual intercourse in the present age, he would not recommend it in this way, but honestly, we wanted to spend time together.

“Oh, it’s not compulsion. I just want to treat you to a meal as a small thank you.”

“Um… ….”

At those words, I lowered my head and looked at Lenny, but the girl nodded slightly while holding my hand tightly.

Meeting with a priest was not common in this world, and it was even rarer for a pilgrim accompanied by a paladin to personally offer to return.

“I will not refuse a favor.”

“Thank you. Now, shall we go?”

I felt a little uncomfortable, but in many ways it is awkward to refuse a pure favor.

With that thought in mind, I walked with them, but the group of priests walked slowly, matching Lenny’s rather slow steps.

How long did it go like that?

It was a little far from the street, and if you went this way, it was a road heading to an alleyway, so I was curious for a while and talked to the pilgrim.

“Is this the right one?”

“I would like to give several thanks to my brother. For that, I’m heading to the neighborhood for a while, so don’t worry too much.”

There’s no problem with us, but I heard that there are a few bad guys around here.

Of course, since the paladin was holding on so hard, what kind of liver would attack it, but the fact that the pilgrim found a lodging in such a corner came to me as a little questionable.

I walked down the street little by little, but at some point I stopped feeling the presence of people.

I feel a little strange here.

If the accommodation is nearby, it must be a place frequented by people, so no matter how much you think about it, it’s a bit strange not to see anyone.

“Me, Pilgrim?”

“…… s*xual intercourse has such a doctrine.”

The voice changed.

By the time I felt that, the paladin who was guarding our back grabbed my arms.

“What is this! Wait, what the hell are you!!”

“To make the world more beneficial. Personally, I felt deep sadness in your soul, and I hope that your soul will be healed in the right form.”

“What are you doing… !! Wait, don’t touch Lenny. What do you want?!”

Did I care too much because I was a priest?

Certainly the priest of s*xual intercourse was right.

I couldn’t understand why they suddenly changed. I wondered if I trusted people too much, but why are you targeting us?

Around the time I thought that, only one person came to my mind.

Saint Cecilia.

“Brother. You may feel unfair now, or you may be embarrassed. But I believe that if you arrive at Sungkyu and lead us, the world will surely go in a more right direction.”

“What is this! Crazy, don’t let this go!?”

No matter how much I shook my arms, I couldn’t escape their grip.

“Uncle!”

“Don’t touch Lenny. If that’s what I want, then I’ll be obedient, so I told her not to touch her. He made it clear.”

“You are the one who knows human sorrow. That’s why the saintess must have been looking for you so desperately. As the saint of intercourse, she must have also chosen the one who will unite this world.”

What nonsense is that?

First of all, I understand that Cecilia was involved in this. She thought of finding her if she wanted to, and she said that she wouldn’t run away anymore, so it’s not difficult to meet her.

But if it’s this way, it’s a different story.

“Calm down for now, and I will move on my own.”

“Brother. Sorry, and thank you.”

At that moment, a white light burst out from under the floor.

Long lines begin to weave and twist into various shapes, and soon they draw a pure white hawk, a symbol of s*xual intercourse, and brightly illuminate our feet.

“What are you doing?”

“This is martyrdom. A miracle to achieve what God wants. If I can lead to a better world with my senile life, I hope that too.”

First of all, let’s understand this situation.

I understand that the saintess was involved in this.

The part that the other party was a priest and the fact that they were friendly. And I was aware that I had been careless because I hadn’t done anything special for five years of living with her face covered.

Then, what is the purpose of s*xual intercourse?

The old man mentioned the word saint, and also said the word that unites.

“Brother.”

While thinking, he spoke in a small voice.

“May your sorrow be healed. We sincerely hope that you will join us, find what you want, and connect this world together with the saintess.”

The light beneath my feet is getting stronger and stronger.

You know something is going on, but the problem is that Lenny is here with you. At least I had to protect that girl if something happened.

“Let go, let go of this! Wait, at least that kid! Lenny is in a relationship…… !!”

Before he could finish his words, the pure white light swallowed us all and enveloped the entire alleyway with light, and he lost sight of it for a moment and collapsed to the ground.

I can hear the air vibrating.

A sound that quietly fills the surroundings.

Even if I stretched out my hand, I couldn’t reach it, and even if I tried to call Lenny out with my voice, it didn’t seem to be conveyed properly because it was buried in the sound.

How much time had passed like that?

“Seo.”

I forcibly focused on my unrecovered vision and looked at the source of the voice.

An object shimmering pink.

Or Inyoung?

“I warmly welcome you back to my side.”

The voice I had never heard greeted me with a soft tone.
