Hush Now, Saintess! - Chapter 66
Chapter 66
Translator: Yonnee
—
Right then, the high priest’s expression noticeably brightened.
“Thank you, Saintess. The temple will also provide generous support for all the necessities needed in the divine beast’s supervision.”
They continued to exchange such words, but I couldn’t hear the rest.
Before long, when I came to my senses, I realized just what kind of situation I was in.
I slowly resumed my halted steps.
My mind was still in a state of confusion.
‘Was this really a good decision?’
I’ve never raised anything before, not even a stag beetle, let alone a cat.
It was then.
Meow—
Letting out a short meow, the cat suddenly leaped out of my arms.
“Huh?”
After jumping out of my arms like that, the cat began to run somewhere quickly.
“What the— Where are you going?!”
Without even time to panic, I chased after him.
It’s just my first day taking care of the cat, yet I already lost him?
Just the thought of it was terrifying.
‘I’ve got to catch it no matter what.’
Gritting my teeth, I accelerated my pace.
But how far did I run like that?
Reaching my limit soon, I gasped for air as sweat soaked me as though I’d been rained on. Then, finally.
“There you are!”
I spotted the nonchalant figure of the cat, who had leisurely stopped.
Some of us here are on the verge of having a heart attack, and yet you!
The cat itself seemed utterly relaxed.
It had casually climbed up the back of a man who had… collapsed? It was even grooming his white fur with an air of indifference.
‘…Hold on, a man?’
Thinking that far, I was left speechless with shock. I covered my mouth with one hand.
No, wait, where exactly did it climb on just now?
What’s going on here?
Why was there a man lying on the ground, under the cat?
No, more importantly, why was there even someone who had collapsed in a place like this?
‘Before that, where even am I?’
With various thoughts cluttering my mind, I looked around.
The floor was covered with moss and neglected, overgrown plants that were scattered everywhere.
There were some pillars lying sideways on the floor, broken.
The only thing remained untouched amid the rubble was a small statue, which was standing tall in the center.
‘Is this an abandoned temple?’
Whatever this place was, this was still in the grounds of the temple.
I made my way to the collapsed man, making sure my steps were quiet.
‘But, don’t tell me. You didn’t collapse after being hit by that cat, did you?’
Haha. No way.
With a nervous laugh, I reached out to the cat.
Meooow—
It seemed like the little cat’s stint with rebellion was over, and the cat yawned contentedly after jumping back into my arms.
“You can’t run away now, alright?”
Meow.
OK. I think it understood me somehow.
The problem now was this guy.
He’s kind of huge.
It’s as if a giant had toppled over.
He looked around 190cm tall, and his arms—revealed beneath the robes wrapped around his body like a coil—were obviously muscular.
‘Should I wake him up or nah?’
Although we were technically still within temple grounds, it was not at all common for someone to lie down in such a remote place.
What if he did something bad, ran away, and then collapsed here?
However, the opposite was also worrying.
Wasn’t it possible that this guy was innocent, and he was left all alone after he got knocked out?
If I don’t take action here, it could lead to big trouble.
“Oh, I don’t know anymore.”
First, I need to check his face.
I cautiously lifted the hood that’s covering the man’s features.
As the hood was removed, I let out a silent exclamation.
“Wow.”
My admiration burst out unknowingly.
Isn’t this face the best? Isn’t he actually so very handsome? Isn’t he perfect? Isn’t he electrifying?
Ever since I woke up in this world, I had seen quite a few attractive men.
First, there was the handsome duke. Then, there was Teacher Victor, who had a different kind of charm.
Even some passing knights would often fall into the category of ‘handsome’.
However.
This man.
Dare I say it?
He’s just on a different level. No cap.
Even though his eyes were closed, the distinction of his facial features was undoubtedly striking.
Eyes!! Nose!! Lips!!
Everything, in balance and harmony!
Especially his sharp nose, his well-defined jawline, and the perfectly balanced lips with a hint of red. Everything about his features was so fantastic that it’s unreal.
With looks like these, this guy could quite easily tell the main characters to step out of center stage.
Never mind that stupid idiot Demos, in front of this man, even the likes of Hildeon—one of the most handsome men of this world—would not be able to…
Wait a sec.
‘……?’
Around that point, I felt something strange.
Hildeon?
Now that I thought about it, didn’t this man’s insane looks oddly resemble the descriptions of Hildeon’s features from the novel?
Tall stature. Well-built physique.
Incredible face, and jet-black hair.
Everything matched.
‘…No way.’
