“They all say you were taken away and hidden in a place where many people are watching you. I wanted to rescue you, but…”
Before he could finish speaking, the little guy's tears streamed down his face again, wetting the ground.
"...What a silly little thing."
The blind saintess, Til, slightly curved her lips into a smile as she gently ruffled the child's hair, coaxing him softly, "I'm standing here perfectly fine now, aren't I? Alright, alright, you're a big boy now, don't cry. You must be exhausted from the journey, go upstairs and rest for a while, then I'll come back to listen to you, okay?"
"But……"
The young boy seemed to want to refute, but it was unclear what he was emitting from the blind saintess. He hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly and ran headlong towards the inner staircase, disappearing from sight in no time.
"I didn't expect you two to know each other."
“It was just a chance encounter, and I took care of you for a while,” Til said gently. “I never expected to meet you at a time like this. I’m sorry you had to see me like this.”

After a tacit silence, the blind saintess finally sighed and slightly opened her mouth.
"Hello! Is anyone inside? City guards are checking!"
The conversation was interrupted by loud pounding on the door and rude shouting. Looking back, the door of the small building was shaking and about to open inward.
Left with no other choice, I had to pause the questioning and quickly escape to the second floor, following closely behind the group who had already darted more than ten meters ahead.
I wonder how the blind saintess will deal with this.
Lost in our chaotic thoughts, we held our breath and waited for a long time, but no one ever came up the stairs.
Looking out the window, I saw several city guards, dressed in disheveled clothes, already staggering more than ten meters away, probably heading to cause trouble for someone else.
