I Became the Male Lead who was Clinging onto the Female Leads - I Became the Male Lead who was Clinging onto the Female Leads chapter 37

37 – The sea in winter (1)

From noble mtl dot com

Early in the morning the sun shines through the window.

Eugene’s dorm room.

“Ugh.”

After drinking too much late yesterday, Eugene grabbed her fragile hair and opened her eyes.

She should have drank moderately and stopped because her body is not accustomed to alcohol, but the problem was that she did not.

“My head is broken… ….”

Eugene barely got out of her bed and turned on her counter-seat.

Sahahahahah─

After getting rid of the drunkenness in his body through meditation, he opened the window for ventilation, washed his body and changed his clothes.

It was in the middle of that.

Smart.

There was a knock at the door.

‘Who are you?’

Without thinking, Eugene went to the front door and opened the door.

I saw a young man in imperial garb. He smiled lightly and lowered his head.

“Meet Eugene von Lennon. I have been ordered by the Prime Minister.”

“Prime Minister? What did you come for?”

“Yes?”

The young man put on a dazed face, said that it was not like this, and pulled out a small chest from his clothes.

“I came to tell you this. The Prime Minister said that Eugene-nim would know.”

“Ah.”

The moment he saw the chest, Eugene’s face hardened.

I remembered the events of yesterday. The incidents of accidentally saving the prime minister and asking for the imperial elixir while drunk.

‘I’m crazy.’

Ask all the people of a country to throw at least some of the elixir that rolls around the imperial family…….

‘I’ll have to refrain from drinking from now on.’

Eugene placed his head on his head and accepted the chest given to him by a member of the imperial family.

“Since I delivered the goods, let’s go now.”

“Go carefully.”

The figure of the imperial family lowered his head and walked away. Eugene closed the door and came in and opened the chest.

I saw a small bottle.

“What is this?”

I grabbed the bottle and brought it in front of me, and I saw a transparent liquid bobbing inside.

“…… Oh my god.”

Prime Minister. You’re too big

It was an unscented republic.

It is an elixir made by processing unscented flowers that grow only in the mountains owned by the imperial palace.

It was a precious elixir that only members of the royal family could drink because the production was extremely low…….

Even if Eugene’s mana increased by eating the Naedan and Lantern of Geumwa, it was clear that drinking this would boost his mana.

‘I never thought I’d get something precious like this when I went out for a drink.’

There was no such thing as a windfall.

Eugene immediately took his counter seat. The meeting time for the Swordsmanship Club was 10:00 AM, so there was still time left.

It will take several weeks to absorb all of the unflavored water, but there was plenty of room for the absorption process to finish after the first intake.

Knock.

When he opened the bottle of unscented Republican Water, a refreshing scent stung his nostrils.

“Great.”

It was an intense scent that seduced those who wanted to become stronger.

Even the minute amount spreading through the air felt like a waste.

Eugene immediately poured the unscented water into his mouth.

Gulp.

He swallowed every last drop and went straight into meditation. Several hours to feel the soft and comfortable sensation of unscented water being absorbed into the body.

After the first intake, the absorption process was finished, and when I opened my eyes, it was almost 10 o’clock.

“It will be late like this.”

Eugene immediately got up and left the dormitory.

The swordsmanship club’s meeting place was the entrance to the Royal School.

It was almost 10 o’clock, and most of the swordsmen’s club members had arrived, and a huge pile of luggage that would take care of everyone’s food, clothing, and shelter for a week was piled up like a mountain.

‘The child hasn’t come yet.’

Between them, the gray-haired princess, Justia, moved in the bright red enemy and was looking for her Eugene.

‘It’s almost time for the meeting.’

About 10 days ago, she was very impressed with Eugene’s potential, and she thought of approaching him through this group activity.

‘I can’t come if I don’t come.’

If Eugene didn’t come, I couldn’t put on the first button. Justia bit her lip lightly.

“What is that?”

“It’s a newcomer!”

At that time, everyone’s eyes turned to one side.

A brown-haired man was running at incredible speed.

‘Eugene…… ?’

Looking at his face, it was Eugene. He rushed forward and stopped in front of everyone.

Hooung!

As he stopped, the wind blew through Justia’s gray hair.

“…… It makes a lot of noise once it appears.”

Del let out a laugh.

“Anyway, we gathered everything with this. There’s a little bit left until departure, so let’s do our own thing and wait.”

“Are you going to swim first?”

“So, the island we are going to this time… ….”

The members spent time exchanging stories among themselves.

Eugene broke away from them to catch his breath.

While doing so, someone approached from the side.

‘Hmm?’

It was the gray-haired princess, Justia.

She smiled softly.

“Hello, Eugene?”

“…… Hello?”

“I am looking forward to this group activity. Right?”

‘Why is this woman like this?’

I had no contact with her. She didn’t know why she was doing this to her.

‘If you say hello, go. I’m not even going.’

Justia was standing next to me with a big smile on her face.

“Attention everyone!”

At that time, Del drew everyone’s attention.

Beside him stood a gray-haired old man in a robe.

“That person…… !”

“This is Archmage Antonio!”

Some students around me shut up.

“Since he is famous, everyone knows him.”

Del smiled and introduced the laborer.

“This is the Archmage, Antonio von Felix Cudelin, who has had a long relationship with the Duke of Ruberta. He is the one who will transport us to the island and protect us from any danger.”

Antonio greeted everyone with an expressionless face.

“Nice to meet you. Best wishes for the week ahead.”

It was a short greeting, but it was enough.

“Welcome, Antonio!”

“Thank you for coming!”

The Archmage was a great being who was respected by everyone. It couldn’t have been better to say that such a being would take care of them (although they would only protect them after receiving enough gold coins).

Del asked, bowing her head.

“Please move the group.”

“Everyone draw a circle and hold hands.”

Students formed a circle with students close to them and held hands.

Beside Eugene was Justia…….

“Will you hold my hand?”

Justia smiled lightly and held out her hand.

Not holding hands was like ignoring seniors, and there was no one else to hold hands with.

She couldn’t help but hold her hand and felt a subtle power.

“I have a lot of calluses on my hands. How hard are you training?”

‘I’m going crazy.’

It wasn’t usually a burden. Eugene closed her eyes, trying not to look at her Justia.

Then someone grabbed her empty hand opposite hers.

It was a warm, small hand.

It felt soft to the touch.

‘What is it?’

I don’t think it’s a man’s hand?

When I opened my eyes and looked to the side, there was Silin.

‘Why are you here again?’

Silin looked into the distance and didn’t answer while holding Eugene’s hand.

She seems to have been with the other female seniors, but she didn’t know when she got here.

‘I don’t know.’

The situation where two female students who are called goddesses hold their hands. Sensing that the seniors around him were staring at him sharply, Yujin looked vaguely at the sky.

“Whoaaa!”

A week has begun on a warm island even in winter.

*

An island with a beautiful natural environment.

A beach with a clear view of coral reefs.

Azure waves spread over the sand, and a cool breeze blew pleasantly.

Even the least playful human beings will surely want to dip their toes in the frigid waters of such a scenic island.

Even if it was Deel, the head of the swordsmanship club who always kept his body tall with a solemn face.

“Kuhm.”

Del was conveying her request in front of everyone.

Normally, ‘We are not here to play! Came for training! Everyone should not be relieved!’

‘If I say the right thing, I’ll be beaten to death.’

It was not easy to listen to the sound of the rolling waves and feel the warm wind.

And even he didn’t want to just train in such a beautiful place.

That was very sad.

“We came here to devote ourselves to the sword even more! Wielding a sword in cold weather is difficult in many ways! So, do not neglect your personal training and continue to devote yourself!”

If that was the case, his team members would have pulled DeL from the manager’s post.

“But… ….”

DeL continued with a solemn face.

“With such a beautiful sea…… It would be okay if I loosened up a little…….”

“Hey!”

“Long live the manager!”

The members screamed.

“It’s the sea!”

“Let’s play! Ha ha ha!”

Male students threw off their pants. The swimsuit she was wearing was revealed.

‘…… You came to play with your intentions.’

They rushed into the sea and threw themselves into the sea, no matter who came first. The girls were more decent than them, but they did the same thing.

“Sillin, shall we go get changed too?”

“Did you bring your swimsuit?”

The older girls were grabbing Silin and trying to go change her clothes.

“Su, swimsuit…… ?”

Silin, who was always calm, was flustered.

“Yes, a swimsuit. Could it be that she didn’t bring it?”

“I have to spend a week at sea, but I can’t.”

“Take…… Came… ….”

The female students laughed heartily.

“Then let’s go!”

“Let’s go, let’s go!”

“Ugh… ….”

Silin was taken away by her seniors.

“Eugene. See you for a while?”

From noble mtl dot com

Justia also followed the female seniors. She seemed to think she was going to change into her bathing suit too.

‘I don’t know.’

I knew that a playful atmosphere would form, but I didn’t know that she would openly play like this.

‘Where will the future of the Lucia Empire go?’

Looking around, the male students were already playing with their tops open.

In a little while, female students in swimsuits will join us.

‘If you walk around in plain clothes alone in a situation like this… ….’

It was clear that he would be treated like a madman.

‘Eh.’

Eugene had no choice but to change into a swimsuit. His body, revealed like that, was perfect.

Its body, completed through long and rigorous training, was comparable to that of a statue.

I wasn’t interested because everyone was busy playing.

‘It’s a good thing.’

Just as they are not interested in Eugene, Eugene is not interested in them. He had no intention of playing at all.

‘I just need to practice wearing a swimsuit.’

There is no reason not to.

I had to work hard with this mindset to become stronger.

Chap-Chap-Chap.

Eugene ran barefoot across the sandy beach. He intended to practice there because no one would see him if he went into the rain forest behind the beach.

It was when he passed the border between the beach and the rain forest.

“Go back.”

I heard the old man’s voice.

I looked to the side and saw Antonio with a determined face.

“What are you thinking about entering the rain forest?”

“I want to practice.”

“If you want to do it, do it at the beach.”

“Everyone is playing, but I don’t want to be next to them.”

It’s obvious that you’ll be treated like a madman.

When Eugene rebelled a little, Antonio shook his head.

“Didn’t you hear that already? The flow of magic on this island is strange. The beach is open, so there’s less of a problem, but you never know what’s going to happen when you go into the rain forest.”

“I’m strong enough so it doesn’t matter.”

“Unless you can beat me, I won’t allow it. Because the people who died while saying such arrogant things are not alone.”

Looking at that determined face, I could see that no matter what I said, it wouldn’t work.

‘It’s sad to wear a swimsuit, but I can’t even practice.’

Yujin sighed heavily and turned around.

He could escape the Archmage’s eyes and enter the rain forest, but he didn’t know what punishment he would face if he got caught.

“…… I will just rest.”

“Like that.”

Yujin trudged and looked at the sky.

The chirping birds flying around couldn’t have seemed so free.

‘I’ll lie down and watch the birds.’

Yujin took out a suitable mat from the pile of luggage, spread it on the sandy beach, and lay down on it.

As he watched the birds like that, his eyes naturally closed.

‘I can’t train properly, so I need to sleep… ….’

It was when Eugene’s dim mind was about to break.

“It’s up!”

“Ohhhhh!”

“Kooooo!”

The male students around them went mad while grinding their lion’s roars.

‘No, what else!’

Eugene opened her eyes and looked at her male students.

They were cheering wildly in the distance.

Following them, I looked far away and saw female students wearing swimsuits walking by.

Yujin put on a smile that couldn’t be happier.

‘Did you see that and make this mess?’

Her back bone was pulled.

For some reason, it was an all-too-familiar pain.
