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 44

44 – I hear thunder (5)

“What is that?”

“Eugene is walking with the princess in her arms?”

“Huh?”

The eyes of those who enjoyed the last supper of the night turned to one side. At the end of their gaze, Eugene was walking with Justia in his arms.

Both of them looked messed up, as if they had suffered through various things, but seeing that scene…….

“What the hell is this all about?”

Suddenly, the spirit of alcohol flew to the other side.

Everyone ran to Eugene and Justia.

At the forefront was Antonio, who was responsible for everyone’s safety.

“This, what the hell… ….”

He was quite taken aback when he saw Eugene, who was covered in sticky blood and her clothes were ripped here and there, and when he saw Justia, whose complexion was pale because she had been poisoned, he became the flagship.

He asked, shaking his hands.

“What the hell is this all about!”

“That… ….”

“Princess, what the hell happened!”

How embarrassed she was, she couldn’t hear Eugene’s words and asked Justia.

“Eugene… …. Let me explain.”

“Isn’t it hard to say?”

“It’s okay. As far as I can tell…….”

“Then what… ….”

Justia began to explain the circumstances.

“That’s how it happened.”

And when her story was over, everyone opened their mouths. Antonio had his mouth quivering.

“That, to sum up what the princess said, was caught by a face holder and was in a desperate moment… ….”

Are you saying that Eugene appeared, saved the princess, and defeated the seal holder with her single body?

“Is my understanding correct?”

“…… That’s right.”

“How could this happen… ….”

Antonio sighed as Justia nodded her head heavily. The people around them also gasped.

“…… How are you feeling?”

“It’s okay. It’s life-threatening, so don’t worry.”

“I have a different opinion… ….”

Everyone pays attention to Eugene’s sudden words.

“Even if you use her magic to drive out the poison, there is a limit. The poison of the face holder is not usually fatal, so it would be better to receive proper treatment.”

“Hmm… ….”

Everyone saved their words and drooled, but they seemed to agree with Eugene’s words.

Antonio made a decision.

“If possible, it would be better for everyone to return right now. I’m not versed in recovery magic, so it would be better to take the princess to a place where she can receive proper treatment.”

“…… I think the same way.”

DeL nodded her head heavily.

“Then everyone prepare to return. Her princess’s condition is critical, so I hope she will do it quickly. And… ….”

Antonio continued with a calm face.

“I will reimburse Princess Justia for all the gold coins I received from this escort for her medical expenses.”

“There is no need for the Archmage to do that.”

“DeL. It’s my fault for not carefully looking out for everyone’s safety until the end, so the responsibility falls entirely on me.”

“We offered alcohol… ….”

Sorrow fell on the faces of the female seniors who offered Antonio a drink.

“And Eugene, I want to repay you separately.”

“Me?”

Antonio nodded his head.

“Without you, what would the princess be like? Since you did my job for me, I should reward you.”

“Hmm.”

“I will compensate you to the best of my abilities. Tell me anything.”

“Hmm… ….”

At the sudden reward, Eugene drooled.

‘Do you have anything in particular?’

I didn’t have a good idea.

Until now, how the relationship has flowed, I have consumed a lot of various elixirs with high reputation in the world.

It wasn’t absorbed into the Danjeon, and the mana that moved around the body wasn’t enough, so it was overflowing.

If you meditate steadily while waiting for your Danjeon to grow, your mana will increase.

Since my body was in this condition, I tried to take the elixir from Antonio, but it would have been difficult to see any great effect, and it was not worth it. I even had the inner hem of the cotton stock in my pocket.

‘If it’s not the best elixir of all time, it’s useless to take more elixirs.’

So it was ambiguous to ask for the elixir.

But I couldn’t think of any other rewards.

‘Should I ask my father later?’

Antonio’s birthplace, Count Cudellin, was located close to Baron Grace.

Since he intends to visit the family soon, it seemed good to ask his father if he had any requests for Count Cudellin.

“I can’t think of anything right now, but may I visit Count Cudellin’s family soon and ask for a reward?”

“It doesn’t matter. Anything to pay off the debt.”

“Thank you.”

“Gratitude is what I have to do, thank you. For protecting the princess instead of me.”

Antonio lowered his head slightly.

“The Archmage… ….”

“Oh my God… ….”

A few people around me shut their mouths.

“Then you will be exhausted, so rest in a comfortable place. I will call you when you are ready to return.”

“Okay.”

After Eugene laid her princess down in a safe place, she sat down and took her rest.

While doing so, the female seniors who were carrying luggage came over and started talking to me with a smile.

“Eugene! How did you catch the faceplate by yourself?”

“Even if the three of us work together, it’s not easy. Really, how?”

“Can I talk to you at least?”

It seemed that he couldn’t hold back his curiosity because his junior, who was only a first-year student at the Royal School, had killed the young creature by himself.

‘I only caught it because it was worth it.’

Eugene had nothing to say.

“I won because he was small. It wasn’t easy either.”

“What are you talking about!”

“No matter how small the size, killing a spirit creature is not normal!”

“Actually, isn’t Eugene extremely strong? You’re a master who’s been hiding his power!”

‘She never hid her power.’

Eugene looked at them with her calm eyes, but they were busy exchanging stories with each other.

“Wouldn’t I lose if I sparred with Yujin? Mr. Fritz won too!”

“Maybe that’s true?”

“Should I ask for sparring too? Eugene If it’s okay later, come with me…….”

“There girls! Smoke in moderation and come quickly! What are you doing holding onto a child who is tired from fighting hard!”

“Aww! Caught!”

“Eugene! See you later!”

The female seniors smiled brightly, then stood up and walked away.

‘It seems like it’s a big deal to catch the cotton pad.’

Actually, it was a feat that was incomparable to the subjugation of bandits.

With his victory in the swordsmanship sparring test, it was a major event that would further enhance his reputation.

‘If the story spreads around the school, it will be noisy again.’

Since the female seniors have returned, I should meditate.

Eugene quietly closed his eyes and turned to his counter seat.

I intended to recover at least a little bit of the energy and magic that was consumed by killing the Face Support.

aaa

I didn’t think it would take long to prepare for my return, so I opened my eyes after a while.

“Everyone please draw a circle!”

At Silian’s cry, everyone was preparing to return.

‘I have to go too.’

Eugene got her body up and walked among her seniors.

“The Princess. Take my hand!”

“Please hold my hand too!”

“Thank you.”

Justia, who was weak from the poisonous poison that had spread through her body, held the hands of the male students who approached her wholeheartedly.

‘How to remember a man who treats you well when you’re sick!’

‘If I earn points like this, someday!’

Their hearts were full of darkness. Her quick-witted Justia had noticed it for a long time, but unfortunately, she wasn’t in a state to care about it.

“Princess, your hands are too cold!”

“I should be back soon!”

“It’s okay. Don’t mind.”

With the help of the boys, she raised her body.

As he was doing so, he felt that those who supported him were trying to look good to him.

But I didn’t pay attention to them.

Her eyes turned to Eugene, who was standing in the distance, carefree.

‘Your face is the same as when you hugged me.’

A faint smile appeared on her lips.

It’s just a normal face, but strangely, good feelings arose.

‘Did I have a crush on him?’

It was the first time since her mother that she had felt this way towards another person.

‘It’s really strange.’

No matter how you think about it, her condition was a little strange.

But she didn’t want to stop looking at her good mood, so she continued to look at her Eugene.

That was the moment.

Eugene turned her head and her eyes met hers.

“…… !”

Her face fell to the ground. At the same time, she felt a small pounding in her chest. A little heat rose to her face.

‘Why are you doing this…… ?’

Her head was filled with confusion. This was the same strange sensation she felt just before when she was hugged by him.

‘Why…… ?’

To confirm her feelings now, she had to look at her Eugene again.

She looked up and saw her Eugene.

Eugene was looking elsewhere, her eyes did not meet.

By the way…….

‘I can’t see why… ….’

She found it strangely difficult to keep watching.

The pounding in her chest kept growing. As this was the first time she had felt this kind of emotion, Justia’s confusion only grew.

“The princess’s eyes are completely open?”

“Isn’t that a big deal?”

“It’s a big deal. It’s a big deal~”

The female seniors in the swordsmanship club who were standing with Silin were looking at Justia and twitching their lips.

“What happened to her while she was being rescued by Eugene, so she can’t even see properly?”

“Did Eugene say something cool?”

“I’ll have to hold on to Eugene and ask him later! I can’t stand it because I’m curious!”

“… ….”

Silin looked at Justia with a blank face.

‘The princess has truly come to like Eugene.’

Eugene rejected her confession for two reasons.

Her first is that her self doesn’t like her,

The second is that she doesn’t like him.

But the second problem has been solved.

Justia now had feelings for her sincere likes. At least in Sylin’s eyes, it seemed that way.

‘That means one problem has been solved.’

As the situation unfolded, a natural question arose.

What will happen if the princess confesses again?

Now that one of the two issues has been resolved,

Will Eugene seriously reconsider her confession?

Or should I remain determined?

‘I don’t know… ….’

I didn’t know unless I asked him.

I couldn’t even ask.

After being told ‘you are the prettiest’ while wearing an embarrassing swimsuit, I couldn’t properly talk to him. He kept avoiding him when he faced him.

‘Because I’m still ashamed.’

Therefore, it was far off to find an answer to the current concern.

‘Let’s forget it. Let’s not think about it.’

Because I don’t even know why I’m thinking this way.

Silin tried to clear her head and looked ahead.

After finishing preparations for return, Antonio was deploying his magic.

“Whoaaa!”

The group activities on the warm island came to an end a little early.
