by fnovelpiaThey used all kinds of rare ingredients to manufacture medicine, but ultimately failed.
The elixir, which is the best among the best to break the ‘Curse of the Tongue’s Eye’, has not been created. The guy who had even absorbed Behemoth, the owner of the 13th floor, was getting stronger day by day.
Even if I took this medicine, my condition would only improve for a short time. Lost kidneys are also impossible to recover due to obstruction of the tongue.
I thought for a moment about the medicine that had become a burden.
What can I do with this medicine now?
How can I use this in the most valuable way?
“Ah.”
Soon I realized what I had to do and thought at the same time.
This drug will be the most complete failure.
.
“So, what were your first impressions of hearing my voice? Personally, I don’t think it’s bad.”
He spoke playfully to the nun, who was still as if her entire body was frozen. It was to break the awkward atmosphere.
“…”
Nevertheless, Trezia stared into my eyes without saying anything.
“…”
Was my voice that bad? She lowered her head and avoided my gaze.
“big .Then let’s go back slowly.”
I sheepishly scratched the back of my neck and tried to walk away. Because I still had a lot of world to show her.
When I turned around, the nun grabbed my arm. She spoke with a trembling mouth.
“This drug could have been sold at a ridiculously high price.”
It wasn’t a happy voice. But it wasn’t an angry voice either.
She asks me in a voice filled with pure doubt.
Why did you give me this expensive medicine?
I barely suppressed a slight laugh. It was a question typical of a nun who values money, but it was not a question typical of Trezia.
I answered calmly.
“Yes.”
“It’s not ‘yes’. I asked why you gave me that medicine.”
The nun kept asking me questions as if she was genuinely curious.
“Is the reason really important?”
“It’s important. Because I’m the person for whom money is the most important thing in this world. If I were you, I wouldn’t have wasted those expensive drugs like this. I would have either sold them and used them for living expenses or saved them.”
She started speaking faster, as if she didn’t really understand my answer.
“I don’t understand at all. Why, why are you investing that much in someone like me?”
“Invest..”
The nun urged me, holding my arm tightly as if she wanted to hear the reason.
“When I think about it, it was like that from the beginning. You offer me money out of the blue without even knowing me properly, you help me without any reason, and even now…”
She bit her lower lip as if overcome with emotion. I thought I would definitely be happy if I could hear, but the reaction was a little different than I expected.
“I haven’t done anything for you…”
I gently held her hand holding my arm and opened my mouth.
“I wanted you to hear it.”
“…”
“When you walk along the path of Ruth Orphanage, you can hear birds chirping. As you walk a little further, you can hear the refreshing sound of the stream hitting the deeply embedded stones.”
“…”
“Sometimes, when I bring food, I can hear the children at the orphanage laughing happily. They fight over who to eat first, but the first place the kids run to get their food is to your room. If I stay still, I often hear that sound.”
“…”
Tuk.
Tuk.
I can feel the strength in the nun’s arms gradually fading away. She would be able to hear this small sound of water droplets falling little by little.
I continued talking, stroking her ears as if they were precious urns.
“I wanted you to hear it too.”
“…”
“I wanted to live by listening to various voices. Lastly, my selfish greed… I wanted to make my voice heard.”
“…”
She lowers her head, avoiding my eyes. I tried to say something, but it seemed like my throat was tied and I couldn’t come out.
I looked at the nun and waited for them to come.
“Mama..!”
A cute child’s voice echoes everywhere.
The kids came.
The children the nun saved came here.
.
Looking back, it was a very insignificant life. For Trezia, life was a great misfortune, and humans were just the cause of her misfortune.
After being taken over by Bishop Offinho, she became the only saint in the Holy Kingdom.
Trezia, who became a saint, saved many people.
And I was betrayed. He said he was actually a fake.
I even lost my hearing.
Betrayed by those she trusted the most, she barely managed to escape thanks to the bishop’s will.
All that was left was a little money and a deaf body.
From then on, Trezia began to be obsessed with money. Because I wanted to make a lot of money and live alone for the rest of my life.
Because money never betrays itself.
She did any odd job she could to survive. Even in the harsh conditions of being deaf and seeing other people her age attending the academy, the nun worked hard.
When she had barely settled down, she saw a child lying on the side of the road.
If left like this, he would soon die. Trezia ignored him and tried to head home.
‘…’
I couldn’t ignore it.
She gave water and bread to a child who was dying of hunger. I was saving it to eat for dinner.
The child, who had finished eating the bread and water, did not express gratitude to the nun. I just asked as if I was curious.
Why did you save me?
The nun said with a smile at the child’s bold question.
I wish I lived.
I just wanted to save it.
Then the child said something to her.
at that time. What did the child say to him?
“Mama! Can you hear my voice?!”
“Can you hear my voice?”
“Me, me too! I want to talk too!”
“Mom..! You can hear better now, right?”
Before she has time to think, the children’s lively voices stimulate her ears. Trezia barely answered.
“Yes.. I can hear you well. Now, Mama, I can hear all my children’s voices.”
“Wow!”
The children were happy and raised their arms as if they were cheering. And then everyone clung to the nun. The nun barely raised the corners of her mouth.
“da.. I can hear it. Yes.. I can hear everything..”
However, the flowing waterfall could not be hidden.
“Mama.. look up to me..?”
“Crying..?”
“Black..”
“Huhhh..!”
At the same time, tears filled the children’s eyes.
The tears I shed now were worth more than anything else. At least that was the case for Dyers.
It was a sight enough to warrant investing in life-changing, expensive drugs.
The nuns and children are shedding tears, relying on each other. It was a happy sight for Dyers to see, so even he, who rarely smiles, smiled softly.
A pink-haired nun approached the man who was smiling like that.
The nun had spent her entire life helping others, so she had no idea what to say when she received help. That’s why Trezia found the answer in the past.
At that time, the child he saved said so.
Trezia’s thin arms wrapped around Dyers. She relayed exactly what she heard.
“You.”
“Okay.”
Smiling brighter than anyone else.
With affection in his big eyes.
“You’re a good guy, right?”
“…huh.”
Dyers looked at her for a moment as if dumbfounded.
The moment I was about to open my mouth, the nun’s lips were locked.
There was no sound in the silence for a moment, but she heard clearly.
The sound of this cold-looking man’s heart beating.
.
After a series of commotions, it was time for the good child to leave for dreamland.
Dyers touched her lips and recalled what happened today.
Bishop Offinho, who learned that Trezia’s hearing had returned, was overjoyed and expressed his gratitude to Dyers. It’s not that I was so happy that I almost attained Buddhahood.
After the surprise kiss incident, the nun rarely made eye contact with her. Even when I tried to have a conversation to break the awkward atmosphere, I gave short answers or avoided it.
He was mortified. He did it all himself.
Women were truly difficult creatures to understand. Of course, it’s better than some strange creature that drinks, kisses, and even throws up, but anyway.
After finishing his thoughts, Dyers lay down on the bed and tried to sleep. After absorbing the Behemoth and becoming stronger, his body was broken down at a faster rate than expected.
So I didn’t hear the nun open the door and come in.
“…Mr. Dyers.”
“Huh?”
When he opened his eyes, he saw a pink-haired woman in a completely different outfit than usual looking down at him from above.
“You, don’t look at me like that..”
Her voice became quiet as if she was embarrassed by Dyers’ gaze.
“…Where did you originally sell your clothes and wear those? A person who worships God wears clothes like this…”
His point was valid. Her current outfit was a black dress like you’d see in a magazine… but it was a strange dress with a lot of visible areas.
It’s a dress, but it’s not a dress.
“Don’t say things like that..! I already locked the door and used a soundproofing spell.”
“…What?”
She said, looking at him with a bright red face.
Dyers instinctively realized what she meant and asked her.
“Can a nun, a person who serves God, be like this..?”
She gritted her teeth and answered his question.
“That kind of sin. How about building something and living there..?”
As it was, light pink hair met white hair.
Later, the ghost Opinho, the only witness and the main culprit of this incident, said:
The little child he had raised since childhood.
It is said that it was the time when he finally became an adult.
