#869

1.
A cheerful bird song drifted in from beyond the window.

The curtains were drawn, so I couldn’t see if it was bright outside, but it seemed like quite some time had passed since the sun had risen.

Albiereo, lying on the bed with half-empty eyes, rose her white, naked body that shone even in the darkness.
Her throat was parched, probably from all the screaming.

She spotted a water bottle on the bedside table and gulped it down to quench her thirst.

-Snap

With a light flick of her fingers, all the secretions that had soiled the bedsheets vanished.
I mean tears, saliva, sweat, and the most significant, though embarrassing to mention, bodily fluids.

“It’s finally over. Finally…”

As she put on the underwear and dress she had prepared in advance with telekinesis, the feeling that it was truly over washed over her.

Strangely, instead of relief, she felt like she was about to burst into tears.

The wild orgy that had unfolded all night had subjected Albiereo to all sorts of trials and climaxes.

She had to experience the sensation of a man ejaculating at least five times, and she had been subjected to pleasure to the point of fainting at least a dozen times, front and back.

The ruthless Shin Siwoo, who had initially tried to let go of her consciousness when she first lost it, thinking, ‘It’s better this way,’ didn’t even allow that.

He awakened her fading consciousness with even greater pleasure, keeping Albiereo’s mind tethered until morning.

“Ugh!”

The aftereffects still lingered, making Albiereo’s legs tremble.

She didn’t have the energy to get annoyed or angry anymore.

She was just languid, and the aftereffects of hormones that made her heart flutter, regardless of Albiereo’s anguish, made her feel fluffy.

“Why do I have to be in this state…”

Still, this ordeal was finally over.

The root of the problem was simple.

She had overlooked the fact that the intensity of the link increased in proportion to the ‘pleasure level.’
Now that she knew the cause, she had finally found a clue to block the pleasure link.

From now on, she wouldn’t have to suffer any more from Siwoo and Deneb’s relationship.

“…By the way, it really happened…”

As she finally had time to organize her thoughts, Albiereo reflected on what had happened from last night until this morning.

Deneb had become legally involved with Shin Siwoo.
Perhaps today would mark the beginning of their official relationship?

Even though she wanted to say, ‘It’s okay as long as Deneb is happy,’ Albiereo’s sense of sexuality couldn’t comprehend this chaotic relationship.

It felt more like she was watching a cosmic horror movie.

And, more than anything else, she was determined to tell them to stop sleeping in the same bed as the twins immediately.

A teacher who should be setting an example was not only showing a disgraceful side in front of her apprentice witch but also engaging in mutual caressing!
Even if it was a measure to cross the ‘line,’ wasn’t it too much?

After opening the curtains and the window to ventilate the bedroom, Albiereo headed to her office and immersed herself in work as usual.

For Albiereo, who was addicted to work more than magic, filling her head with numbers and symbols was a way to forget her anguish.

-Knock knock

“Come in.”

As she put down her pen for a moment, the one who hesitantly opened the door and appeared was Albiereo’s younger sister, Deneb.

“Is it okay if I come in?”
“Yeah, I told you to come in.”

Deneb, who had been looking around, walked in gingerly, as if the ground would collapse if she stepped too hard.

Albiereo knew why she was acting like that.
Albiereo was in the same state right now.
The aftereffects of intercourse were so troublesome that they didn’t easily subside in a few hours.

As the strange silence began to turn into awkwardness, Albiereo opened the topic as if throwing a stone.

“Did you run into anyone on your way here?”
“Huh? No. Why?”
“Make sure to cover your hickeys well.”
“Ah…”

Only then did Deneb realize that there were clear bruises on her neck, and she was startled.
After removing the bruises with a partial recovery spell, Deneb clicked her tongue in embarrassment.

Well, she had just been rolling around in bed with her apprentice witch and her son-in-law.
Even if her sister had known beforehand, it was inevitable that she would be embarrassed now that she had shown the evidence.

“……”
“……”

Silence again.

Deneb waited stiffly, like a job applicant undergoing a pressure interview, for the words to fall from her sister’s lips.
She was prepared to accept whatever scolding she might receive.

“Deneb.”

After a long sigh, Albiereo called Deneb again.

“Yes, Sister.”
“You’ve been through a lot. Don’t act like you’ve committed a crime, and go do what you need to do.”

Deneb felt tears welling up.

She now knew how absurd her feelings had been and how much her sister had suffered as a result.

Even from a normal perspective, she was a terrible younger sister, and her sister was a rigid and fastidious traditional aristocrat.

If Albiereo and Deneb’s positions had been reversed, Deneb would never have been able to look at her sister favorably.

“Sister, I’ve made a decision.”
“Just give me a moment to prepare myself.”

Seeing Deneb’s serious gaze, Albiereo braced herself.

She wondered if anything more confusing could happen in this situation, but since the accidents related to Shin Siwoo always far exceeded Albiereo’s imagination, she prepared herself.

“…What is it?”
“I’m not going to be in a romantic relationship with Siwoo.”
“…What?”

Therefore, Deneb’s declaration was more shocking than any other statement.

What? Why did it turn out like this?
After playing so hot and heavy last night?
They say that adultery is the most thrilling when it’s adultery, but was it not that great when she actually tried it with a clear conscience?

“Why, why… why?”

Albiereo, who was reminded of a tabloid she had read in a magazine due to her younger sister’s sudden change of heart, stammered.
She was filled with anxiety, thinking, ‘Isn’t she trying to do something more dangerous? Like announcing a marriage?’

“You said it yourself, Sister. You can’t stand seeing a fight between wives.”
“Things are different from then, Deneb. If you’re doing this because you’re worried about me, don’t bother…”
“No, I’ve already finished talking with the twins and Siwoo.”

They had spent over a hundred years together.
Looking at Deneb’s eyes, Albiereo realized that she wasn’t saying these words lightly or in a fit of anger.

The Deneb who had been suffering in anguish and sorrow was gone.
The freedom of a canary that had escaped its cage was evident in her words and actions.

“I think I was too immature. You’ve had a hard time because of me, haven’t you?”
“No, Deneb. But can I ask why you made that decision?”

After waking up late in bed and taking a bath together, Deneb had thought about many things.

She thought about what kind of resolve and determination Odile and Odette had when they got into bed with Deneb and yielded Siwoo.

The twins truly loved Deneb.
Enough to share their husband, overcoming social taboos.

And she also thought about it.

Eventually, Deneb would leave Odile and Odette in a few years.

When she had argued with her sister before, she had raised her voice, saying that she would use Siwoo’s magic amplification ability to perform an irregular succession.

However, now that she could perceive the situation more objectively, Deneb knew well how much of a price she would have to pay.

It was a price that might negate Deneb and Albiereo’s lives themselves.

If she inherited the stigma, she would have a beautiful farewell with Siwoo as well.
It was obvious that it would be a great wound for him, who still had a strong human sensibility.

Not to mention if they were in a romantic relationship.

“I conveyed the feelings that I thought I would have to keep secret for the rest of my life, and I also learned his feelings. I also confirmed that the twins have grown up so much that I can’t even recognize them.”

It was truly amazing.

When she had to hide the fact that she loved him and could only watch him from afar, it was so painful.
But now that she had the opportunity to meet him freely, she didn’t feel so regretful about giving it up.

She even felt relieved.

That was probably because Deneb was able to convey the feelings she truly wanted to convey.

“Love was very difficult, but it was also a joy I had never experienced before. Now that I know that, it’s enough.”
“……”

Albiereo closed her mouth.

It was truly amazing.
They were twin sisters who were separated by only a few minutes, but Deneb had always seemed younger than Albiereo in some ways.

It was also true that she had always seemed like a younger sister who needed to be taken care of, even after more than a hundred years.

But in just one night, Deneb had changed.
Whether she should call it strong or unwavering…

Was that the awesomeness of love or something?

Since her younger sister had yielded, she had to yield as well.
Albiereo cleared her throat to change the atmosphere and opened her mouth.

“Deneb, Count Lucy said that she’ll need experimental data from time to time.”
“Data?”
“If you don’t have a lover, it’s okay to meet him as part of the… experiment. That’s what she meant.”

Count Lucy Yesod was not Siwoo’s lover, but she often slept with Siwoo for the irregular succession experiment.
If it was that kind of relationship, wouldn’t it be okay for Albiereo, Deneb, and the twins?

She had reached this point of compromise.
Deneb, who had read Albiereo’s intentions, smiled.

“I’ll think about it. By the way, how’s Galina’s condition?”
“It seems like Ms. Smyrna treated her well. She’s already recovering. Would you like to have a little drink?”
“Yeah, I’d love to, Sister.”

Albiereo and Deneb, who had been awkward due to Siwoo’s issue, shared a reconciliation drink after a long time.

2.
At that time.

“……”

Linne, who had climbed over the fall prevention railing and was perched on the rooftop of a high-rise building.
She was looking down at the bustling cityscape of the modern world, trying to soothe her empty heart.

Endless gloom, ennui, and listlessness.
The fierce wind that whipped through the high-rise building seemed to have blown a hole in her heart.

It was like she had turned into cotton candy.

“This is strange.”

Something was strange.
