The Blond Male Lead is Too Much - Chapter 124

“Ah… … Here, all of a sudden?”
The chief priest, who had a momentary embarrassed expression, soon began to speak softly.
“Nothing much. I met him about 10 years ago on a pilgrimage to the South, and he helped me a lot emotionally when I was having a hard time.”
“I guess he was a kind person.”
“I think so. I remember that he was younger than me, and his hands were very white and warm.”
A faint smile appeared on the corner of the priest’s mouth. It seemed as if he was happy just thinking about his first love, which he couldn’t even remember properly.
I wanted to support his love as much as possible, but I had to raise his favorability rating, so I asked with a little bit of anxiety.
“Do you still have him in your heart?”
So, my favorability rating isn’t going up very well, right? Please.
“I don’t know. I think I’d like to meet you again someday… … .”
He lowered his eyes, his voice trailing off. His eyelashes, which seemed longer than mine, cast shadows around his eyes.
After a while, the chief priest raised his gaze as if nothing had happened and looked around and made a suggestion.
“How about we start looking around from here?”
“Oh, okay.”
After walking along a narrow path with muddy dirt here and there, an open space finally appeared before my eyes.
The interior, made of stone walls, appears to have been used as a prayer room in the past, with old stone statues and altars placed there.
There were also tables and chairs made of stone scattered here and there.
We placed a candle on the altar and began our search.
“By the way, what exactly are you looking for?”
“I’m sorry, I don’t know what the relic is… … I think we’ll just have to look for it.”
If it’s correct, wouldn’t the system window notify me?
How long had it been since I started searching for the relics like that?
Whew.
I thought it was a closed space, but a gust of wind blew from somewhere and blew the candle holder away.
“Oh, the fire… … .”
As my vision suddenly became dark, I looked behind the stone statue and groped my way towards the altar in confusion.
“Raviello, do you have any matches left?”
“… … .”
“Raviello, where are you? Can’t you hear me?”
I called out to him a little louder, but there was no answer.
What, did you go somewhere else without me knowing?
As my stomach grew stuffy, my eyes adjusted to the darkness and I began to vaguely see the outlines of objects.
Fortunately, the priest was not far away. His characteristic platinum blonde hair was faintly visible.
As I approached him cautiously, I soon heard the faint sound of heavy breathing.
“Ugh―.”
“Raviello… …?”
Suddenly he realized that his head was positioned too low.
Just like someone who has collapsed on the floor and is crouching.
“Gasp, huh, huh… … .”
“What’s wrong, are you okay?!”
Sensing an ominous aura, I ran in the direction he was, not caring if my feet hit the rocks.
She waved her hand in the air and grabbed the shoulder of the person who gave her the gift. As soon as she did, a strong hand grabbed her wrist.
Like holding on to a lifeline.
“Ugh, huk, sha, Ilin… … .”
“Yes, it’s me. What happened? Are you hurt?”
“Whew, fire, ugh right now, huh, turn on the light… … !”
“Oh, I see!”
As I felt as if the chief priest was about to suffocate, I risked being rude and rummaged through his clothes to take out a match.
I tried to calm him down as he refused to let me go, telling me to light the fire quickly, and I felt my way along the floor towards the altar.
Knock, knock.
As the candle was lit, a warm glow like sunset spread softly.
I supported the priest and brought him over, and made him sit down so that he could lean against the altar. His breathing slowly became calmer.
“Are you feeling calmer now?”
“… … Yes, I saw something unsightly.”
His face, illuminated by the candlelight, was slightly wet, as if he had even broken out in a cold sweat in the meantime.
He smiled as if he had no shame and spoke in a low voice.
“I don’t like dark places. I have some bad memories of them.”
“Ah… … . I’m sorry, I dragged you underground for no reason… … .”
Although I did it without knowing anything because of the mission, I felt very sorry seeing him struggling so much that he couldn’t even breathe properly.
The chief priest, who had been staring at me blankly, reached out and touched my flowing hair, smiling.
“Don’t blame yourself. If you really didn’t like it, you would have refused it too.”
“Raviello… … .”
It was a moment when I unconsciously touched the floor with my hand, moved by the gentle comfort.

Click.
“Huh?”
Ding ding.
The area under the altar split into a circle, and I fell into it without even being able to refuse.
“Eww!”
puck!
I fell screaming, hit my head hard and lost consciousness.
* * *
Ten years ago, young Shailene stumbled upon a box of her mother’s belongings that Gwen Charophé had left out for disposal.
The things inside were worthless, so it seemed like they were organizing them to dispose of them later.
She carried the box and ran to the temple without anyone knowing.
There, a young apprentice priest was waiting for her.
‘Why are you so late today?’
‘I’m sorry, Oppa. I have something to bring… … . Is there a place in the temple where I can hide it?’
‘What is that?’
‘It’s my mother’s belonging. I stole it because my stepmother was going to throw it away. But if I keep it, it will definitely be taken away from me.’
Not only that, it was obvious that he would scold young Shailene severely and then burn her belongings.
‘I have to hide it in a place where people can’t easily find it… … .’
‘Then follow me. There is a secret place in the temple basement that only I know of.’
The boy, who had been quietly looking at the box in Shailene’s hand, said.
The young girl followed the boy into the basement, where he led her to another hidden space beneath the altar.
‘It’ll be safe if you hide it here. It’s a place that even high-ranking priests don’t know about.’
‘Wow! But how did you know?’
‘If you don’t come, I’ll be stuck in the basement.’
The two dug a hole in the ground and buried the box. They giggled, saying it was like hiding a treasure. Then they came up to the surface, shaking off their dirty hands.
We moved to the deserted backyard of the temple to play, then sat down on a bench next to each other and looked up at the blue sky.
Young Shailene liked boys.
From the moment he picked me up when I fell and comforted me, my heart started pounding whenever I saw the boy.
‘I wish I could stay with you forever…’
When I revealed my small wish, the flinching boy opened his mouth in a calm voice.
‘I’m leaving for the next pilgrimage site tomorrow.’
‘What? Really?’
Shailene, who was shocked and upset by the sudden news, grabbed the boy’s arm and started complaining.
‘Brother, you have to go, right? Stay with me.’
‘Not now. I have no power.’
‘Eek… … .’
‘But I will definitely come and pick you up later. When that happens, leave this place and run away to a faraway place so we can live together.’
‘Okay, I have to keep my promise, right?’
Little Shailene held out her pinky finger, her lips pursed with tears in her eyes. The boy smiled faintly and hooked his finger with hers.
The hazy mist that had been covering the boy’s face slowly cleared.
Platinum-colored hair that sparkled softly in the sunlight, eyes as clear and transparent as amethyst, and beautiful facial features despite being in her early teens.
‘Shailene, don’t forget to wait for me. My name is―.’
* * *
I remembered.
‘My name is Raviello.’
He was the main priest. He was my first love, whom I met at the temple when I was young and fell in love with at first sight.
The day he left, I went out to say my final goodbyes and got into a carriage accident.
Because of that, I lost most of my memories, but my feelings towards the main character and my first meeting remained in my heart or mind.
‘That’s why I kept coming back and forth to the temple. To keep a promise I couldn’t even remember… ‘
I was clutching my head as the puzzle pieces finally started to fit together.
Not only was the place where my mother’s remains were buried, but the method of conquering the main shrine route was also in my head.
‘Wait a minute, where is the chief priest now?’
I sat up with a start.
A little distance away, the priest was seen lying helplessly.
Oh, my first love! Maybe you are my true male protagonist?!
Of course, too much time has passed, and I’m not really Shailene anymore, so I don’t have any deep feelings for him now.
I laid the head of the chief priest on my lap, feeling somewhat overwhelmed.
Before long, he slowly regained consciousness and opened his eyes.
“Umm… … .”
“Are you awake?”
I looked down at the welcoming officer and smiled brightly.
hi?
“It’s me, your first love.”
