Became the Blind Male Lead in a Reversed World

30 – Episode 30

1.

Anything. What an interesting word.

“Anything?”

“Yes. I will do anything.”

“For real~?”

“……Y-yes. What do you want me to do…”

Eunho calmly wiped away his smiling face.

“I’ll save it for next time. I haven’t decided yet. And my sister isn’t completely better yet.”

“I know. But it’s a miracle that her condition has improved this much already.”

Hansoyeo still had rehabilitation therapy left, and for a while, Eunho had to help her with her exercises. That way, there would be fewer aftereffects, and the unrefined energy left in her body could become fully hers.

“By the way… Do you remember what happened yesterday?”

Yesterday’s events… honestly, Eunho couldn’t remember them properly.

“I only know for sure that the treatment was successful.”

“You’re the first person I’ve seen who reached the transcendent state without being a shaman. It must mean that you focused on Soyeo’s treatment.”

“Can I go for a walk?”

“Are you going alone?”

“Do you want to come with me?”

Upon hearing those words, Hana Rin hesitated for a moment, looking at Han Soyeo.

“Yes. I would like to.”

…

…

…

After a while, Yeonha and Paeng Yahwa woke up from their sleep.

Almost simultaneously, they opened their eyes and frowned at each other.

“…Why are you facing me, Four Eyes?…”

“…That’s what I have to say. Where is Eunho?…”

Upon closer inspection, Hanarin was also missing.

“………..No way…”

Seeing that Paeng Yahwa seemed uneasy, Namyung Yeonha narrowed his eyes.

“Don’t tell me…?”

“….You’re a fool. I’ll leave first. You can look after Hanarin’s sister.”

“Cowardly pretending to know everything! If you figured something out, tell me too!”

“…The girl and the boy are gone. Clueless woman. Step aside in front of the door.”

“Well…then I should go too.”

“….So, what about Hanarin’s sister…Huh? Should we just abandon the person who Eunho worked so hard to heal…?”

As she said that, Yeonha’s face stiffened and then relaxed.

It was as if she had found some amazing solution.

“It’s your job to take care of this place, Paeng Yahwa!”

“…If I hadn’t mentioned it, you wouldn’t have noticed, you fool…”

In the end, the two of them clashed.

2.

Two figures running swiftly along the beach. They ran freely, feeling the refreshing sea breeze and the sound of waves.

Ah, more accurately, Hana Rin only observed Eunho closely, maintaining a proper distance.

“You’re faster than I thought.”

“That’s right. Even after the Mureum Holy Festival, I’ve been training martial arts diligently during my free time.”

Silho, who had run to his heart’s content, sat on a rock and looked out at the sea.

Of course, he couldn’t see anything, but he could feel it.

Hanarin, who had been quietly observing, sat down next to him.

“If Maengju and Arini were to fight, who do you think would win?”

After hesitating for a moment at those words, Arini thought deeply and replied,

“I think I would lose. I’m still in my early stages, so I won’t easily give up, though.”

“Hmm… I see.”

Hanarin noticed from Silho’s expression that he hadn’t expected any particular outcome when he made that comment.

And she was right.

“Arin, you seem indifferent to those things, don’t you? Fungyahwa said that no matter who he talks to, he always claims to win.”

Upon hearing that, she chuckled and replied,

“Most people from Fangga have strong competitive spirits.”

“…Um, would you like to eat something? You haven’t had breakfast yet.”

“Oh, come to think of it, Yeonha and Yaha didn’t eat either.”

Gulp. Hanarin swallowed her saliva. Her ears felt slightly warm.

Don’t say it. Don’t say anything.

“Well… Could just the two of us eat?”

“Huh?”

Idiot…!! Why did you say that..!

“Well… I have something to say, um, I mean… I wanted to show my gratitude by introducing a delicious restaurant in this area.”

Silho’s gaze changed subtly.

In that look, she felt a sense of embarrassment as if she were standing naked.

Silho looked at her like that for a moment before responding.

“Sure.”

“…Are you serious?”

“Well… If Arin recommended it first, then what can I do?”

“Oh… I’m sorry.”

“There’s nothing to be sorry about. Where will you take me?”

“Over here.”

.

“Sh… sh*t. Run away.”

“Mama! Handsome Oppa!”

“No, our daughter. Don’t stare straight at him.”

Eunho sensed the unpleasant atmosphere around him.

When he opened his senses, he could feel a few gazes, but everyone avoids his gaze.

“What happened? Could it be…”

“Ugh…”

Hanarin hesitated for a moment and decided not to explain that it was Peng Yahua who killed those women last time.

“I guess Peng Yahua didn’t go on a rampage before. By watching that scene, you can tell he’s not someone to provoke carelessly.”

“Well… But I’m not even a son of a bigwig…”

“As the grandson of Yuadokjon Jang Myeong-sun, you are someone who shouldn’t be provoked carelessly.”

Eunho was slightly anxious.

“Well… it seems like he might be coming for revenge. It’s cliché.”

“Cliché… I don’t know what that means, but there is no transcendent strong person in this remote port, so don’t worry. If they are below five stars, we can handle more than five of them.”

“Is that so…? But didn’t you say we were at the beginning of transcendence?”

“Even in the early stages of transcendence, there is a huge difference in abilities. In my case, I am skilled enough to deal with multiple opponents.”

“Arin is humble… for a transcendent.”

Hanarin felt a gentle smile forming on her lips.

“There are many strong people in the world. It’s good to know how to humble oneself. As long as you don’t underestimate your opponents to the extent that you can defeat them, it’s enough.”

Hanarin mentioned a small shop they came across.

“This is a restaurant where I often eat after achieving success.”

“Oh…”

Hanarin and Eunho entered the shop and took a seat.

“Owner, what do you have today?”

“Oh, Arin. It’s been a while. Let’s see what we have today… We have seasoned mackerel and seasoned hairtail. Grilled eel, grilled clam, grilled crab, and more.”

Eel… Eunho had a taste for it.

“Then, I’ll have the grilled eel, please.”

“….?!”

Eel? Eel…? Did I hear it wrong? I’ve heard that eel is helpful for people of all ages, especially at night work.

What’s the intention behind a man eating it in front of a woman?

Curious, I tried to confirm, but the owner ordered first.

“hehehe. Ah, Arin has succeeded and brought a man who looks like a sage~ Ordering eel first from the man’s side. Will you two run away after eating?”

“Owner?!”

Arin’s face immediately turned red. He regretted not considering the rough language of the harbor people.

“Our Arin has a small chest. Is that okay?”

“Owner!!”

“Well… It looks big when hugged, doesn’t it?”

W-what kind of conversation is going on here…

Arin felt dizzy despite transcending into a different realm.

“Go… Gongja, aren’t you angry?”

“Huh? Ah… I know that eel is like that, but the truth is, I also like the taste of eel.”

“That’s not it…”

Even if rumors spread about us doing this and that, is it really no big deal?

And…

“Do you… Do you really think my chest is big?”

“Huh? Isn’t that considered really big?”

“……..C-cough…”

Arin stopped the corners of his mouth from curling up. Even though Eunho couldn’t see it anyway, he still felt embarrassed.

There was also the fact that the owner might say something again…

“Arin, what would you like to order?”

“I… I’ll have eel as well.”

“Seasoned or salted?”

“What about Gongja?”

“Well… I want to eat both…”

The owner raised his thumbs and said,

“Then divide it and eat one with seasoning and one with salt.”

*Tak! Tak!*

While the owner sent the eel to the divine realm, Eunho asked Arin.

“By the way, I heard you achieved success.. how does a transcendent like you make a living?”

This was a fundamental question for martial artists.

Ordinary martial artists would establish a faction once they reached a certain level and collect fees.

The people of the Martial Arts World would hone their business and martial arts skills with the money they had.

The factions of the Martial Union would receive sponsorships.

What about someone like Han Arin, who belonged to the same rank as the sect leader?

“Basically, when you reach a certain level of transcendence, you receive continuous sponsorship from the Martial Union. As for me, the notion of success meant having money to comfortably eat three meals a day. It all began with Master Cheonghongchu, the Supreme Elder. I received an allowance from my master, and now I handle sponsorships and separate commissions.”

“For example?”

“Like long-term escort missions or altering terrains. Building structures by changing the land usually takes a lot of time, but for someone at the transcendent level, it only takes about ten minutes to choose a piece of land.”

“I see…”

Han Arin and Eunho continued their conversation while catching a whiff of the delicious scent of the eel.

“Since we are at a disadvantage when it comes to urgently constructed buildings, we always receive a large sum of money.”

“Wow…”

“Now, the eel is ready~ Enjoy!”

“Thank you~”

Eunho picked up a piece of eel and took a bite.

“It’s delicious~!”

The flesh was tender, while the skin was firm and chewy. The savory saltiness combined with the mild meat flavor in perfect harmony.

“Heh. Although the owner may sound rough, he certainly knows how to cook.”

Arin presented marinated eel to Eunho.

“Oh, marinated eel.”

The marinated eel in the owner’s special sauce melted in Eunho’s mouth.

“Thank you for bringing me here. I didn’t expect to have eel.”

“I’m grateful too.”

“What for?”

“Just… for various reasons.”

They enjoyed the eel and shared stories with each other.

“So, what did you want to talk about?”

“…..?”

“You brought me here saying there was something to discuss.”

The moment when Hanarin’s joyful meal time turned into a time of excuses.
