1.
Shortly after Siwoo left for the mortal realm.
Odile and Odette spent their days as usual.
To be honest, they weren’t that worried.
Even if their assistant was a troublemaker once he stepped into the mortal realm, this time was different.
First of all, they went out in a group, with the help of other witches from the salon…
Moreover, weren’t they accompanied by Tiferet, the Duchess, and other girlfriends as escorts?
Compared to the days when he would get kidnapped and disappear without a word, this was a much better situation. Perhaps the emotional hardship they had endured had acted as a vaccine, as the twins weren’t particularly shaken.
They finished their busy apprentice witch lessons as usual, took a bath, and were on their way back to bed.
“Sister, I feel like we’re being left out.”
“It can’t be helped, Odette. We’re still apprentice witches.”
Odette knew that too.
But she didn’t like this.
“Sister, don’t you get it yet?”
“Get what?”
“Love comes with a crisis! Look at our little master! What made our little master fall for the assistant?”
“Hmm, is that so?”
Despite Odette’s anxious complaints, Odile was being overly relaxed.
“Sister?”
Odette was flustered.
Did her sister eat something wrong?
Tiferet, the Duchess, Sharon, Associate Professor Amelia, Linne from the public sector who stayed in the mortal realm of R’lyeh, and even Dorothy.
This was nothing more than a picnic with everyone except the twins.
As they overcome crises together, love deepens.
And every night, they’d be doing that ‘thing’ that feels so good, deepening their physical bond as well.
The assistant might still like Odile and Odette the most, but it was a given that the gap in affection would widen.
To not understand this anxiety…
“I wonder if he’s back today?”
“What? Oh! What’s that?”
Frustrated, Odette was stomping her feet when she entered the bedroom and was taken aback by the sight of a strange machine.
Later, Odile explained that it was a standing tanning machine.
Odile had persistently begged their great master and received it as a gift along with a capacitor.
“Listen carefully, Odette.”
Odile placed her hands on her hips, beginning to show her sister’s wisdom.
“There’s no point in us joining them anyway. We’d just be one flower in a bouquet. The assistant is one, but there are many of them, right? How fierce do you think the invisible competition is going to be?”
“That’s not important! Isn’t it more important that we’re falling behind in the competition right now?”
“Tsk tsk, that’s a really superficial analysis. The master said that opportunities always come in times of crisis.”
“So, what? What is this?”
Odette would usually talk back, but she lost her momentum in the face of Odile’s confidence, who had prepared a strangely shaped machine.
“On the other hand, the assistant won’t see us for a whole month. Right? Am I wrong?”
“…Huh?”
Only then did Odette vaguely understand what Odile was saying.
But that wasn’t enough.
The theory of ‘not seeing each other for a long time – not seeing each other for a long time so they miss each other – love deepens’ was too simplistic.
It was just a way of sugarcoating the current situation where they couldn’t even participate in the competition.
“We’re going to use that gap effectively. We just need to transform ourselves in a really cool way. Just like this.”
With that, Odile flipped open a magazine in front of Odette.
It featured a model in a bikini, striking a cool pose on a beach that looked like a resort.
“The twins, whom he missed so much, have undergone an image change with sexy and healthy skin. The combination of long-awaited longing + the rediscovery of a fresh charm he’s never felt before? It’s a strategy to draw in extra affection.”
“Sister, you’re amazing!”
Odette was easily swayed.
2.
Generally, witches and tanning aren’t words that go well together.
The spirit body is already in its optimal form.
It has a homeostasis that tries to maintain that, and it’s very sturdy.
They don’t tan easily even under the scorching desert sun, and even if they do, they quickly return to their original color.
Therefore, Odile and Odette had to put in a lot of effort for almost a month.
Generally, machine tanning is recommended about 10 times every other day.
The time is divided into a minimum of 5 minutes and a maximum of 15 minutes, and tanning lotion must also be applied carefully.
However, considering the twins’ spirit body’s recovery power and special characteristics, they did a routine of one hour every day before bed.
It was to the point where a normal human would become a crispy, soft-on-the-inside, hard-on-the-outside baked chicken.
As a result, they couldn’t achieve the clear milk chocolate color of the magazine model, but the twins were satisfied with the healthy tan they had achieved.
It was still only about the level of someone who tans easily after a day or two of sunbathing.
“How is it? Cool, right? Sexy, right?”
After going through a lot of trials and tribulations, they finally achieved healthy skin.
The twins were striking poses, showing off the results of their efforts in front of R’lyeh, but…
“What’s all the fuss about such a trivial thing? You young ones are making such a commotion.”
Queen R’lyeh, who couldn’t lie, reacted indifferently.
The twins’ eyes formed a double parabola.
They were extremely displeased.
“What? Who are you to belittle our efforts?”
“How pretty is it? It looks totally sexy.”
However, to R’lyeh, who had a typical classical Western beauty ideal, the twins’ valiant efforts were nothing more than a waste of time.
“A noble being should have white skin like the snowfields of the ancient past. Why would you try to have the skin of a farmer who sweats while working in the fields? I truly cannot understand.”
“Sister, I’m annoyed by her.”
“Me too. I want to sew her mouth shut.”
“And above all, this is what sexy means. This, this, this.”
R’lyeh said, bouncing her chest with both hands.
“……”
“……”
Unlike her usual half-dazed way of thinking and behavior, the mature woman’s fruit swayed temptingly, and Odile and Odette’s eyebrows nearly touched their temples.
“Anyway, it’s been a while, so I’ll play with you twins. How about a position board after a long time?”
R’lyeh didn’t say these things out of malice.
In fact, R’lyeh didn’t even notice that the twins were angry.
“…You don’t do anything, do you?”
“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“Hmph, you stupid R’lyeh Nukelavee.”
“What?”
However, R’lyeh, while not aware when she was provoking, was more sensitive than anyone when she was being provoked.
The twins were spitting out words.
“We’re saying, have you ever tried to change something for the assistant?”
“We’re rivals! Of course, we’re friends, but! If you don’t do anything and just act all high and mighty, we’ll end up getting more love!”
“They say males get bored easily. Trying an image change wasn’t wrong.”
“That’s right, even if the assistant doesn’t like it that much, the fact that we tried won’t disappear.”
R’lyeh was secretly stung.
As the twins said, she had never tried to make any dramatic changes for Siwoo.
At most, she had just changed into a few stylish outfits in the twins’ dressing room.
“Hmph, why would I need to make any more effort? My very existence is the epitome of beauty, the most radiant pearl of the deepest sea.”
But once you’ve entered the realm of arguing, admitting is defeat.
R’lyeh puffed up her shoulders, pretending to be nonchalant.
“Hmph, do you think this is all we’ve prepared?”
“Wha, what else is there?”
“Of course!”
However, like the cunning twins they were, they immediately saw through her bluff and cornered R’lyeh.
Odile casually hitched her bikini bottoms on her hips.
Then, milky white skin appeared.
Since she always wore a bikini when she went into the machine, the area that hadn’t tanned was maintaining its original color.
“What…!”
“Now, do you get it?”
The reason R’lyeh’s eyes widened was simple.
The twins were originally as fair as R’lyeh.
But the skin near their hips, which was slightly exposed under their bikinis, looked twice as white as R’lyeh’s.
“On the outside, the twins look like healthy princesses from a southern country, blessed by the sun.”
“But when they slip off their clothes on the bed… the secret areas that catch a man’s eye are as white as snow.”
“No, way…!”
Only then did R’lyeh realize that the bikinis they were wearing were intentional.
Since the color of the surrounding skin was different, their original skin color naturally stood out.
In other words, if they were to take everything off, the areas that were precious to women would be blatantly emphasized.
“It’s not just about being naked, it’s about elevating it into a drama.”
Even for R’lyeh, who was the same gender, it was a device that presented a tremendous amount of eroticism and sensuality.
“……”
“How is it?”
“Can you still say things like upper class or farmer now?”
The twins, who were smiling with their fangs showing, cornered R’lyeh in an instant.
Odile and Odette had not only prepared a special image change for Siwoo, but also a weapon with a visual beginning, development, turn, and conclusion.
It was a complete defeat for R’lyeh, with no room for appeal.
And R’lyeh was even more easily swayed than Odette.
As soon as she heard the explanation, R’lyeh was intrigued and coughed, glancing at the tanning machine.
“Ahem. Odile, Odette, I understand your thoughts. My judgment was lacking. Now that I see it again, it’s very pretty. It’s the most, the most! beautiful you’ve ever looked.”
She changed her attitude like flipping a palm and praised the twins, but…
“What are you saying? It’s no use flattering us now, we’re the only ones who are going to use it.”
“R’lyeh, you should try too.”
There was no way such a transparent trick would work on Odile and Odette.
“I’ll give you gold coins!”
“We get a lot of allowance, you know?”
The three of them bickered for a while, but R’lyeh gave up surprisingly easily.
She had the dignity of a queen, and it felt very pathetic to ask to use the twins’ plan as soon as she realized the secret of their strategy, after saying it was no good.
“Anyway, we’ve come this far, so let’s sleep over.”
“You’re making us sleep late! We have class again in the morning!”
Eventually, the three twins stopped arguing and lay down in one bed.
“So, what happened?”
“I’m very pleased that you’re ready to listen to my exploits with such a commendable attitude.”
“Just tell us already!”
“I met a monster, and…”
It wouldn’t be strange for friends who hadn’t seen each other in a while to talk until dawn.
