The Blond Male Lead is Too Much - Chapter 155



Only Ran(o)vel dot com

When I turned my head, as expected, Matapju was standing there, carrying a load on his back.

His appearance stirred up the surroundings.

There were many people looking at me with eager eyes, wanting to say hello, but Matapju only looked at me.

“Ah, it was a magical tool that I needed at one time. It’s okay now since I don’t raise cats.”

When I deliberately responded playfully, Matapju’s lips formed a faint curve.

“Would you please follow me for a moment?”

“yes.”

I gladly accepted Matapju’s offer and followed him.

We left the exhibition hall and headed to the lounge on the middle floor of the tower.

The lounge was deserted because both the visitors and the magicians were on the first floor. It was easy to have a conversation since it was just the two of us.

Sitting side by side on the bench and looking ahead, Matapju spoke first.

“I’m glad your face looks good.”

“Really? It’s all thanks to the Lord Matap’s help back then.”

I nodded my head as I remembered the many ways in which I had been helped during the heresy trial.

Even though I found out later that he had cooperated with Karl, I couldn’t thank him enough.

“Thank you so much again.”

“I have already received enough greetings.”

Matapju waved his hand urgently. Contrary to his decadent appearance, he was a kind-hearted and gentle person.

That’s why you shouldn’t judge a person by their appearance.

Even more so when I think about how the kind and holy-looking priest had been driving me crazy a while ago.

He smiled somewhat awkwardly, then soon spoke seriously.

“There is another reason why I invited the Count today.”

“What is it?”

As soon as I turned my head, my gaze met with mysterious blue-green eyes.

Matopju, who flinched for a moment, slowly moved her lips without avoiding eye contact.

“Do you remember when I told you that my heart raced when I saw you?”

“yes.”

Isn’t that what I said when I lifted his curse and reached 100 favorability and got him to confess?

Matapju seemed nervous and moistened his dry lips with his tongue as he spoke in a low voice.

“At that time, I didn’t know how to define that feeling, but now I know.”

His body was turned honestly towards me.

“I like you. It was love at first sight.”

The second confession, spoken purely and without embellishment, made my heart sink a little.

But I didn’t avoid it; I faced it head on.

Because it is the result I created while carrying out the mission.

“Thank you for being so kind to me, Lord Matap. But I don’t think I can feel the same way.”

I calmly conveyed my intention. Then, Matapju, whose expression had noticeably become clouded, cautiously asked.

“… …Can I ask why?”

“There’s no particular reason. We just had different feelings for each other. It’s not like anyone did anything wrong or made a mistake.”

Finding the reason for something is actually closer to finding the cause of the error.

But Matapju had absolutely no part in my rejection, so I made that fact clear.

After a moment of silence, Matapju lowered his head slightly and touched his forehead.

“… … But I am worried that it might be because I unintentionally deceived the Count.”

“Oh, are you talking about when you were a goldsmith? I don’t think the Lord Matap deceived me.”

Just as the Empress hid the fact that she was sick from the devil’s curse, the Magic Tower Lord could have done the same.

Because this is a fatal weakness for me.

“You didn’t do it on purpose. You had your own circumstances.”

“That doesn’t mean I haven’t deceived you.”

Matapju refuted me more seriously than I expected. I was a little flustered as I tried to put his mind at ease.

Well… … Really? Even if there were circumstances, it’s true that you deceived me anyway.

But isn’t that something that can be taken into account to some extent?

“I used to say things I didn’t mean or make up stories that didn’t even exist to hide the fact that I was cursed.”

After washing his face once, he quietly muttered as if he was making a confession.

“But looking back, I don’t think I ever thought that all the lies and actions I said and did because I had no choice could hurt others.”

“… … .”

For a moment, I was speechless.

Because… … it applies to me too.

“Honestly, I regret it. I was so sure that no one would understand or accept my transformation into a cat.”

Matapju continued speaking calmly.

Traces of intense self-reflection and self-contemplation were felt in each and every letter.

“If it’s someone you can really trust, you should tell them everything at least once.”

“… … .”

I just stared at him blankly, unable to offer any comfort.

I was startled, as if I had been struck by an unexpected blow.

Ma-Tap-Ju, who had been staring blankly at me, got up from his seat with a look on his face as if he had decided on something.

“I understand your intentions, Count. Thank you for being honest with me.”

He bowed his head politely. Embarrassed, I quickly got up.

“It’s much better to hear the truth, even if it hurts right now.”

“……is it so?”

“Yes, because it will be less stressful in the long run.”

If so, that’s good.

First of all, I was not very comfortable with having to kick him out even though he was the one who teased me, so I felt a little relieved when he said that.

He clasped his hands together and bowed his head politely.

“Thank you for liking me. And I’m sorry, Lord Matap.”

“There is no need to apologize.”

Matapju smiled faintly.

“It was an emotion I chose, and a confession I decided on.”

It felt strange because it seemed like he was saying those words knowing exactly what I was going through.

Especially because it’s so similar to what I unconsciously hoped for.

I licked my lips and then decided to tidy up the place. It seemed pointless to continue the conversation.

“I’ll go back and take a look.”

“yes.”

The top man didn’t catch me. I left him behind and turned around to walk to the entrance of the break room.

Just as I was putting my hand on the doorknob.

“Count Charophet!”

He suddenly called me in a loud voice. I opened my eyes wide and turned around.

Matopju greeted me with a red-eyed face.

“good bye.”

“Yes, goodbye.”

I thought to myself as I accepted this. This will probably be the last time we see each other in private.

This is how the relationship that started when I first met a cat, not a person, was summarized.

As we headed back down to the exhibition hall, I saw Deborah looking around next to Spencer.

Soon Deborah also noticed me and raised her hand.

“Oh, Sister! You were there?”

“Yeah, Deborah.”

After a brief conversation with Deborah, Spencer bowed to me and left.

I accepted it lightly and smiled at Deborah, who was approaching me alone.

“Have you finished looking around?”

“I haven’t seen your magic tool yet.”

“Really? Then follow me. I’ll show you.”

“good.”

I followed Deborah, who was naturally linking arms.

Even though I looked around the exhibition hall for quite some time, I never saw the roof tiles again.

That night, I had a dream.

It was a dream where I was watching the sword wandering around looking for me, who had returned to the original world, from beyond a transparent wall.

“Shailene, where are you! Shailene!”

The sight of him with tears falling from his reddened eyes was heartbreaking.

“Carl! I’m here!”

I shouted, banging on the wall that separated us.

But the sword never looked in my direction. Instead, it ran in the opposite direction of me, getting further and further away.

My heart was about to burst from the frustration. I’m here, where am I going?

The sword that had been wandering with its back to me eventually knelt down and collapsed.

“You said you liked me, but why are you leaving without saying anything like this… … .”

I was moved to tears by the sight of him so frustrated.

“Karl… … Don’t cry. I’m sorry.”

I’m really sorry.

I muttered endlessly, repeating apologies that would never reach him.

Then, when I woke up from my dream, my whole body was drenched in cold sweat.

Mandy sat next to me worriedly, wiping my face with a handkerchief.

“Miss, are you okay?”

“… … Oh, it’s okay.”

I looked down at my slightly trembling hands and bit my lip.

My mind, which had been lost like a boat floating in the wind, finally straightened up.

I feel like I need to answer Carl’s confession that I’ve been putting off.
