Collecting the Male Leads’ First Nights - Chapter 55

Chapter 55

“Miss Sylvia! I heard from Mr. Noel. I was short-sighted and didn’t think about the cost of maintaining Limbo. You must have been in a lot of trouble.”
“No… I was already grateful that you gave me a foreign horse, and I’m really thankful that you’re giving me even the maintenance costs.”

When Sylvia gave him a 90-degree bow with a moved expression, the high priest stroked his white beard and smiled gently. Thinking that since she had met the high priest, she should take the chance to say that she wanted to quit the part-time job, Sylvia opened her mouth.

“I have something to tell the High Priest.”

As Sylvia hesitated for a moment, the high priest gave an easygoing laugh and nodded his head.

“Don’t think too hard, just say it.”
“Actually, I understand that many new believers have registered for this temple. They work so hard that I have nothing else to do. And I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been working hard on the evangelism, but the people of the empire have become immune and aren’t following me to the temple as much as before. So, I’m only going to work in the temple until this week, and then I’ll look for another job.”
“Oh…”
“You don’t need more workers, and since I’m here, the temple’s budget seems to be going to waste.”

At Sylvia’s words, the high priest looked at her kindly, stroked his white beard, and smiled.

“You don’t have to think that way. Miss Sylvia has contributed a lot to the temple… so you can continue to hang around here.”

‘He knew I was being a salary thief…’

Seeing the gentle look in the high priest’s eyes, Sylvia shook her head slightly and continued.

“No, no. I would also like to do something else for my own self-development. If you don’t need any more help, is it alright if I work only until this week?”
“Ohoh… If you put it that way… I’ve been feeling that Miss Sylvia is not an ordinary person since you became the Evangelism Queen. You are not the kind of person who will rot away while cleaning the temple for the rest of your life… Now that we have many slaves… I mean, many believers, I will send Miss Sylvia to a wider world. By the way…”
“…?”

As Sylvia tilted her head, the high priest continued.

“Ohoh… Mr. Noel will be very sad.”
“!”

Sylvia’s expression became awkward at the high priest’s gentle smile.

‘Is he saying this because he thinks Mr. Noel and I are in some kind of relationship?’

Sylvia was sweating profusely at the high priest’s mysterious smile. He opened his mouth again.

“Mr. Noel… He has a bright future ahead of him. He already has tremendous divine power at such a young age. In principle, a priest should not be close to the opposite sex, but human instincts are not easily controlled. Many priests secretly have lovers because they do not lose their divine power even when they are close to women.”

‘D-Don’t tell me… did he notice that we had s*x in the prayer room…! That’s ridiculous.’

Sylvia barely managed to answer the high priest’s words, sweating profusely.

“Ah… I-I see.”
“I was expecting Mr. Noel to be a candidate for the next pope, but I’m not sure. It’s not a bad thing to live life as you want instead of living a life of self-control.”
“Is that… so?”

Does he mean to have s*x as we want? Sylvia studied the high priest’s expression while sweating, but only sacred energy flowed from his face.

‘Maybe it’s because he’s lived as a high priest for a long time? His expression management is at a high level…’

As Sylvia looked at him blankly, the high priest cleared his throat and covered his mouth with his hands.

“Ahem… It seems like this old man was saying something unnecessary without thinking. Not all choices are made by the people in question. Then, please give me your address through Mr. Noel, and I will send you organic carrots and hay from overseas. If you tell us anything else you need, the temple will cover everything. You can also work until today.”
“Ah! Thank you.”

As Sylvia thanked him with a bow, he smiled happily and stepped away as if to move. Then, he suddenly turned around and opened his mouth.

“Well! To add one more word… Mr. Noel is usually very worried about Miss Sylvia. I hope you will not think that it’s difficult because he is a priest and open your heart… Haha. Keep it a secret from Mr. Noel that I said this…”

The high priest chuckled, looked at Sylvia’s face happily, and then winked. Then he walked away, and soon disappeared from her sight. Judging from his happy expression, he seemed to think he had made a significant contribution to the love affair of the young people.

‘From what he said, he seems to think that Mr. Noel likes me one-sidedly. Far from thinking it’s difficult, we also committed blasphemy in the coffee shop… If he knew we did it to our heart’s content in the prayer room, he wouldn’t have walked away with such a gentle smile. Phew… that’s a relief…’

Noel was a man who had no interest in women before meeting Sylvia, so the high priest, who was used to dealing with people, must have noticed right away that his face brightened when he stood in front of her.
The high priest only wanted to connect the young priest and a faithful-looking believer who were hiding their feelings, without even thinking that the two of them had already done everything.

Sylvia, who had nothing to do and was playing with weeds in the garden after the high priest left, turned around in surprise at the sudden hand tapping her back. As expected, it was Noel.

Because it was the last day of the temple part-time job, Sylvia wanted to do something a little more satisfying, so she led Noel to the storage room behind the garden, and the two did it twice in a row.

“Hnngh!”
“Aah, Miss Sylvia.”

Unfortunately, perhaps because they played too hard before, only two seeds were obtained from the storage room.

After doing it, Noel hugged Sylvia from behind and bit her ears slightly. Sylvia, who felt ticklish and giggled, held his hand and opened her mouth hesitantly.

“Mr. Noel, I… I’m only doing the part-time job until today.”
“… That’s a pity.”
“We can see each other outside anytime, so don’t worry.”

As she said that, Noel looked down at the floor with a dispirited face.

“That’s true but… Miss Sylvia will find another job to do, and then we won’t see each other often.”
“Even so… I’ll make some time to see Mr. Noel, somehow.”

‘Because it decreases my karma… and besides, doing it with Mr. Noel is very good. I want to do it… I mean, I want to see him as often as possible.’

Noel was a much-needed person for Sylvia. To get seeds, to get rid of karma… and because doing it was good. Even after targeting other target characters, she vowed to take time to see Noel often.
She gently caressed Noel’s face, which looked obviously depressed. As she did, he closed his eyes and rubbed his cheek in her hand.

“Besides, we’ll see each other as much as we want next week. Let’s think about the future when it happens. Right now…”

Sylvia wrapped her hands around Noel’s cheek and licked his plump lips with her tongue. Noel’s face turned red, and their lips gently interlocked.
Her mouth was as sweet as if he had gone inside a honey jar, so he didn’t get tired of kissing and kissing again.

It wasn’t until they tasted each other’s lips and their tongues stirred around inside their mouths that the sticky kiss between the two ended.
Noel smiled brightly, curving the corners of his eyes as he gently swept Sylvia’s plump lips, wet with saliva, with his thumb.

“Yeah, I’m looking forward to next week. I haven’t been to the temple on the back mountain for a long time, so I’m a little scared because I don’t know how much it changed.”
“If we’re together, it will be fine wherever we go.”

As Sylvia stared into his eyes, their noses rubbing against each other, Noel overlapped her lips again. They didn’t know when their hot kiss would end.
At the end of the sweet kiss, Noel gently stroked Sylvia’s hair and made eye contact with her.

“But it’s a day off before we go to the temple. What are you doing then?”
“Hmm, I think I’ll go raid the dungeon that Sevis knew.”

Noel hesitated at her words, then held her hand lightly.

“Can I tag along too?”
“Hm…”

‘I don’t think Sevis will like that. He liked Mr. Noel when he bought the clothes, but I don’t think he will like him in the end. Somehow… I don’t know why, but I have a hunch.’

The troubled Sylvia grabbed Noel’s hand and explained the situation. When she said that she shouldn’t raise suspicion on her day off if she wanted to leave Sevis behind next week, Noel was disappointed but gave up, saying there was no helping it. After leaving the storage room like that, Sylvia, who washed up in Noel’s office while she was free because it was prayer time, took Limbo and headed home.

When she got home, the carrier pigeon she had sent to Luca returned and was dozing off by the window.

“You’re in a nest, why are you dozing off?”

As she untied the letter tied to its foot, the carrier pigeon gurgled and sat down in the nest.

‘Is it a dove? It looks like a sparrow, but it’s chirping in a strange way.’

As Sylvia opened the door and entered the house with the letter in her pocket, she saw Sevis sitting on the floor, spreading out all kinds of boxes, absorbed.

“Sevis! We’re back.”

As Sylvia approached him with a big smile, Sevis was unwrapping the package boxes. He was grinning as he inspected the contents of the boxes one by one.

“Phew, we can rest assured now. The temple sent us fodder and organic carrots for that damn horse.”
“That’s really great!”

Sylvia took out a carrot, washed it thoroughly, and handed it to Limbo. Unlike the carrots from the market, it ate the carrot deliciously.

Inside the box, in addition to the organic carrots, there were Evi*n water bottles exclusively for Limbo, a cushion for horses compressed with magic, and toys exclusively for horses purchased overseas that Limbo liked to play with.

‘If I put all of these things together, I think it will cost more than this house.’
