Chapter 65 – #15_The Sweet After The Bitter (4)

“…And so! I really thought it was over there. I was shivering, thinking that if I got attacked just a couple more times, I’d be done for…!”
As soon as they got into the carriage, the group sitting on the sofa started chattering noisily.
The main topic, of course, was the hunt for the homunculus at the latifundium today.
It was an experience that had taken them to the brink of death, so I was worried they might have some trauma left behind.
It seems Siwoo had somewhat underestimated the twins’ optimistic nature.
Odette, looking excited and flushed, explained the situation at the time, using gestures and expressions.
She actively used onomatopoeia like “Thwack!” and “Pshoo!” to describe the desperate situation.
“Then! Assistant’s ultimate ‘Spear of Arad’ appeared! With a mysterious, decisive move, the vicious homunculus was shattered to pieces!”
“For the record, I named it Spear of Arad. Cool, right?”
“Very satisfactory.”
Siwoo grinned and leaned back on the sofa.
Even though he already knew everything, it was still so much fun.
Maybe it was because 90% of it was about Siwoo’s own exploits.
Thinking about it again, it was a crazy, all-out performance that could only be described as insane.
It was kind of heartwarming.
Odette’s storytelling performance ended.
As the excited atmosphere calmed down a bit, like the foam settling, Odile cautiously spoke.
“Assistant, you’re leaving now, right?”
“Yes, to be honest, I’m sick and tired of Gehenna.”
“It’s a shame, though. It would be nice if we could be together a bit longer. How about coming as our servant?”
Siwoo gave an ambiguous smile, and Odile slapped her own mouth, feeling foolish.
“You’re stopping me too! Why did you only scold me!”
“That’s right, you did. Odette, bring the present.”
“Okay. But are we giving it already?”
“A present?”
Odette went to the mini-bar and brought back the wooden basket that had held the sandwiches today.
“Assistant is our benefactor.”
“So, we prepared things that we thought Assistant would like.”
“Odile, Odette…”
It had been such an eventful day that it wouldn’t be strange if I fell asleep as soon as I got home, but they had prepared gifts in the midst of all that. It was incredibly touching.
“Whether Assistant is a witch or not, whatever adversity or hardship may come.”
“We swear to remain eternal friends of Shin Siwoo, Assistant.”
Odile and Odette, after saying something that sounded like a ritual, took turns offering their small hands for a handshake.
“You don’t have to be so sad. It’s not like we’re going to be separated forever!”
“That’s right, if we properly inherit the mark and become formal Jemernais, we’ll come visit often.”
“Ah, now that I think about it, that’s possible.”
“It’ll take some time, though, hehe.”
Come to think of it, the clear distinction between Gehenna and the mortal realm was only limited to Siwoo, who was a slave.
If the twins became Jemernai Counts, they could cross over to the mortal realm and hang out together.
“The introduction was too long. First, take the presents.”
“Ah, yes. I’m really looking forward to it.”
“You can look forward to it even more. Whatever you’re expecting, it’ll be more than that.”
First, Odile handed over the music box from the basket.
It was an artifact that was originally supposed to be transferred to me on the condition that I fulfill the ambiguous condition of teaching Odile about love.
“Actually, the contract wasn’t fully fulfilled. I still don’t have a clue what love is.”
Odile said that, but still placed the music box in Siwoo’s palm.
And added,
“You probably won’t need it when you leave through the proper procedure, but I’m still giving it to you. I want to give it to you. Instead, think of us often whenever you look at this.”
“Thank you. I’ll never forget you.”
“If we meet again and it seems like you’ve forgotten us, we’ll drag you back.”
“Haha…ha…”
How could I possibly forget them?
Even though the method was a bit strange, they were Siwoo’s first experience partners.
And they were so cute that if I showed their pictures outside and said, ‘I did it with them,’ I’d be treated like a delusional or schizophrenic.
Of course, I have no intention of bragging like that.
“And these are the extra things we prepared.”
“Ta-da!”
What Odette pulled out was a jewelry box.
It was made of shiny black wood, and two birds were engraved in gold on it.
“You can’t store magic power, Assistant. We thought you might miss magic when you go outside, so we prepared enough magic power.”
“It’s 10 bottles of concentrated magic power made by our company.”
Inside the jewelry box were beautiful bottles filled with an unusual light.
“The quality of the magic power isn’t that great, but it’s a huge capacity.”
“If you dilute it and use it little by little, it should probably last until we come to visit.”
If I was just touched a moment ago, this time I was genuinely moved.
It wasn’t just a token gesture, but a gift that clearly showed they had put a lot of thought into what Siwoo would need.
Besides that, they showered me with gifts that I desperately needed.
“This is a chalkboard. You’ve seen it a lot during practice, so I don’t need to explain it, right? Just dip any chalk in water mixed with the concentrated magic power we gave you earlier and use it.”
A chalkboard and mana chalk that could implement simple magic circles without a dedicated magic medium.
“This is the first gold I made using alchemy. I’ll give it to you as a souvenir.”
A gold bar about the size of Siwoo’s fist.
“This is a cloak with a protective magic spell. Just wearing it will defend against most attacks once. Plus, it has such a cool design, you could be a fashion pioneer just by wearing it!”
A cloak with a magic circle drawn on the inside.
“This is a quill made from a kingfisher’s feather… It doesn’t have any special function, but it’s just pretty!”
Even though there were some items that were a bit off, likely due to a lack of knowledge about the outside world, wasn’t this effort something?
With the endless barrage of gifts, Siwoo’s hands were soon full, like a nouveau riche lady who had come out for a department store shopping spree.
“I’ll really treasure and use them well. If you ever come to the modern world, I’ll show you around.”
“Okay, okay, oh, right! I almost forgot to tell you. Outside, you have to use an music box when you use magic. Other witches or exiles might have their eyes on you.”
“I’ll keep that in mind. Thank you again.”
Who would have thought that a day would come when she would receive gifts from children so much younger than her and have to hold back tears?
Seeing Siwoo’s eyes redden from the gifts, the twins sniffled.
“Oh, come on, why are you crying?”
“That’s right, Assistant, you’re making us want to cry too.”
Siwoo recalled her not-so-long memories with the twins.
The time she had masturbated in front of them…
The time she had become a sex education tool under the guise of using magic, receiving handjobs and blowjobs…
The time she was kidnapped in a carriage and became a test subject for Eros’s potion…
The time Odile had barged into her room in the middle of the night for anal sex and almost got caught by Amelia…
The time she had taken Odette’s first anal experience while she was drunk and acting cute at the Latifundium…
What the hell, why are my memories like this?
Siwoo shook her head to clear her mind of these distracting thoughts.
“So, can I go back now…?”
Anyway, it was late.
Since they seemed to have finished most of their conversation, Siwoo was about to wrap things up.
“Are you leaving already?”
Odette slipped between the carriage door and Siwoo, blocking her way.
“There’s still one last gift left.”
Odile, who was in sync with Odette, also stood in front of Siwoo, blocking her path.
“Is there something more besides this?”
“Of course~ The most important gift is left.”
“This one is really, really important.”
Just selling what she had received so far in Gehenna would be enough to live on for the rest of her life.
Just how amazing of a gift did they prepare?
Ah, this quest reward is so sweet.
“Do you want it?”
“I’ve already received more than enough… but if you give me more, I’d be grateful.”
Normally, she would have politely declined, but thinking that she was going to get her money’s worth for the five years of hardship, she readily nodded.
And Siwoo’s eyes widened at the final gift the twins had prepared.
The twins simultaneously loosened the straps on their shoulders and slipped off the cloaks that had been covering their bodies.
The velvet cloaks, which had been shining with an elegant black color, slid down like shedding skin.
The cloaks fell onto the rug, following the curve of their round shoulders.
No wonder they had been so bundled up in their cloaks even indoors.
What emerged from within the black fabric were the twins’ flawless, pale bodies.
The twins, posing like models, faced each other, flaunting their nakedness.
“Are you surprised?”
“Come to think of it, we’ve seen Assistant’s naked body a lot, but you’ve never seen our bodies completely…”
Odette, as if embarrassed by Siwoo’s piercing gaze, smiled shyly and slightly twisted her body.
However, she didn’t make any attempt to cover her chest or anything.
Rather, she straightened her shoulders and chest as if to make it easier for him to admire her.
Her fair skin shone brightly in the dim light.
Odette and Odile’s noble bodies, which were meticulously cared for by the maids every day, emitted a subtle glow, as if sprinkled with gem powder, whenever the flames on the candlesticks flickered.
Perhaps this fantastic sight was creating a drug-like effect in Siwoo’s mind.
The way they were awkwardly standing on their tiptoes on the rug.
From their slender calves to their healthy thighs, and then, as she already knew, their firm buttocks awaited.
Above that was the perfect curve of their waists, as if God had put extra effort into sculpting them.
As she admired their graceful lines, her gaze was drawn to two pairs of plump mounds.
She had noticed from their clothes, but they weren’t the kind of full, motherly breasts.
However, they were incredibly firm.
The tips of their breasts were like blunt cones, standing erect without any sagging.
Until now, she had learned from porn that teardrop-shaped breasts were the best, but this was an opportunity to open her eyes to a new aesthetic.
“You can take your time looking.”
Odile, who had been glancing between her chest and crotch, seemed to have changed her mind and stood straight like Odette.
The tips of her firm breasts were adorned with pink semicircles, and at the very tip, a cute little fruit stood erect.
The deep pink color was a bit contrasting with their skin tone.
The color was provocative.
If there was a lipstick with such a beautiful color, it would sell like hotcakes.
Moreover, there wasn’t just one breast, but two!
Not just two nipples, but four!
Whether it was because of the alcohol, or because her guard had been lowered after already mixing bodies with the twins, or perhaps because of the recklessness of thinking that she would be leaving soon anyway, she didn’t know.
But she immediately wanted to grab one in each hand and suck on them.
“If Assistant leaves, we won’t be able to have fun for a while.”
“That’s right, we can’t just show our naked bodies to anyone.”
The twins, speaking in turns like surround sound speakers, slowly closed the distance with Siwoo.
“Since our bond with Assistant is special, we’re doing this especially for you.”
“That’s right, Assistant is probably the first and last slave who can do this with two apprentice witches at the same time, right?”
The twins, their cheeks already flushed red, were now very close to Siwoo.
The finale of the last gift explanation was Odette, who was shyly rubbing the rug with her toes.
“So… we’re going to… play together all night tonight.”
