Regressor Instruction Manual (PART 4)

Chapter 622: Untainted Truth (4)

Cha Hee-ra's gaze from behind bothered me, but it was a point in time that I was reluctant to look back for some reason.

I thought the first step was to approach Raphael for the time being.

We hadn't had a proper conversation since he ran out.

I thought it would be okay to leave him alone for a while, but I didn't want it to be prolonged.

Of course, he was enough of a threat that I couldn't approach him recklessly. Pretending not to know that Raphael was a demon contractor informant, I had no choice but to create a character to respond to the current situation.

Externally, Lee Kiyoung was simply worrying about Raphael.

I judged that the future he saw through Yuno Kasugano was terrifying and shocking to him.

'A typical cliché.'

I had seen many moments where the protagonist of a grand adventure became frightened by the destiny that lay before them, preventing them from proceeding.

In fact, I didn't know what Raphael was thinking, but since I considered such details as important, I had to watch him, even if it was only from a distance.

As his supporting role, I should've wanted our hero to overcome it by himself.

Of course, the reality was different.e...

'If Raphael thinks that way, then I don't care.'

It was important for him to realize why Cardinal Lee Kiyoung was worried about him.

As I moved to another place with a worrisome face, I immediately noticed his expression that seemed to tell me his soul had escaped. He couldn't even complete the basic physical training directed by Cha Hee-ra, and the way he stared at a distance was quite a sight to behold.

It wasn't at the same level as Kim Hyunsung's vegetated state during the Doom Kiyoung incident, but he seemed troubled.

'No, is it irrational to compare this to that time?'

That comparison itself was flawed, considering the earlier incident could only be solved by going into Hyunsung's mind.

"Er..."

I moved a bit, but he didn't seem to notice me.

"Raphael."

When I called out to him, he finally looked at me.

'What should I say?'

The only thing that was okay was that I didn't feel hostility from how he looked at me.

However, there seemed to be some doubts in his eyes.

"Are you okay?"

"Ah... Kiyoung."

"If you're not feeling well, you can rest a bit."

"No. Such a thing..."

"You don't have to overdo it."

When I poured sacred power into his body that was turned into rags due to Cha Hee-ra's training, I noticed his reluctance.

He might've already known that I used divine power, but how embarrassing would it be to feel that it was actually healing him?

It must've been clear that what he felt wasn't ordinary divine power. It wasn't only clear, transparent, and clean, but its purity was 100% from Benignore.

Of course, the amount was weak, but that wasn't a problem in treating such wounds.

Naturally, he tried to keep a straight face.
