Chapter 308 – #69_Summer
#306
1.
“Wow… the view is incredible.”
After getting their swimsuits tailored, Siwoo arrived at the strait, enjoying the smooth ride of the carriage. Stepping onto the private beach, a place he’d only heard about as a luxury for the bourgeoisie, Siwoo felt his chest swell with awe.
The sand was whiter than salt, and the sun was blazing hot, uncharacteristic for the season. The clear blue sky stretched out to meet the horizon, and the sound of the waves crashing was delightful. Just looking at it was enough to make him feel refreshed.
“It’s a resort, alright.”
Moreover, the villa, located just 20 seconds from the beach, was quite something. The two-story villa was as small as the annex where Siwoo and Elloa stayed, but the entire side facing the sea was made of glass.
“This isn’t Dubai or anything…”
“The sea, the sea, the sea!”
“Odette Ryu! Hyper Boost!”
With tiny footsteps, identical footprints appeared on the sand as the twins dashed past Siwoo, who was still admiring the view. They threw their bags aside and plunged into the sea. The twins entered the waist-deep water without even changing into their swimsuits.
“Assistant! Come quickly! It’s super cool!”
“Assistant, come in too!”
Their skirts floated on the emerald water like flower petals on a pond. The twins splashed around, beaming with joy. Siwoo and Sharon, who were watching from afar, couldn’t help but smile at their excitement.
“Odile! Odette! You need to change your clothes first!”
“It’s okay!”
“We brought clothes to change into!”
“They’re really enjoying themselves.”
“Yeah, they’re like huskies on a snowy day.”
Standing next to Sharon and watching the twins, Siwoo was reminded of something from his past life. When the twins had come to visit, he had felt a strange sense of being a parent while playing with them. The scene felt strangely similar now.
“Assistant!”
“Hurry up!”
The twins splashed water, urging Siwoo to join them. Siwoo gave a wry smile and looked at Sharon.
“Are you going in with your clothes on?”
“Just take the luggage first. I think I need to get the twins.”
“Assisssstant!”
“Okay~ I’m coming, I’m coming~”
Siwoo left the luggage with Sharon and dove into the water next to the twins, who were happily splashing around. The sea was refreshing.

“Haaah…”
Siwoo was lying on a sunbed under a parasol. He was fully enjoying the resort atmosphere, sipping a cold beer. The sound of the waves was pleasant, the ice-cold beer in the cool shade was delightful, and even the salty breeze was perfect.
And what about the view?
Not only was the natural scenery beautiful, but the sight of the twins and Sharon splashing around and having fun was dazzling.
Flora was right to be so confident.
Although he didn’t know what kind of swimsuits women wore in the past, Flora, with her unique modern sensibility, had gifted them swimsuits that wouldn’t look out of place on a Florida beach.
First, the twins.
They wore tube-top bikini tops with frills.
The design reduced exposure while maintaining elegance and grace. Odile’s was black, and Odette’s was white, completely eliminating the debate of whether a bikini should be black or white.
Next was Sharon.
She wore a black monokini with decorations reminiscent of a belly dancer’s outfit. The design naturally exposed her navel, and the wire that wrapped around her back and waist, along with the glimpses of her side breasts, were captivating, like a succubus’s attire.
Anyway, unlike Siwoo, who was exhausted by the twins’ sky-high energy, Sharon was still playing water fights with them.
“Ahaha, kids, stop it!”
“Take this! Take this!”
“Odette Ryu, water cannon!”
“I said stop it!”
The twins chased Sharon, spraying water, and Sharon playfully ran away. Watching the three of them having fun, it was like seeing triplets, not just twins. They got along surprisingly well.
“Huh?”
Wasn’t it getting a bit too intense?
He didn’t know who started it.
But what began as a simple water fight with hands had naturally escalated to involve magic.
Water orbs the size of volleyballs floated around the twins, all aimed at Sharon. Sharon, in turn, was running on the surface of the water as if it were solid ground, performing elaborate evasive maneuvers. Sharon had been teaching the twins elemental magic lately, so was this part of their playful lessons?
-Kugugugung!
Then, a tremor like an earthquake shook the ground, and suddenly, a shadow fell over them. A massive wall of water, large enough to swallow an entire building, rose up from the sea.
“I told you to stop!”
There was no way an earthquake would suddenly occur in Gehenna and cause a tsunami. This meant it was all part of their water play. The towering wave crashed down on the twins and Sharon, bringing their chaotic water fight to an end.

“I got saltwater in my nose…”
“It stings…”
“I, I’m sorry, kids.”
The twins, soaked from head to toe, sat slumped on the sand, whining. Sharon, with an apologetic expression, draped a huge towel over their shoulders.
It was true that their water fight had gotten intense, but she hadn’t intended for it to go this far. However, she wasn’t used to the sudden increase in magic to the 20th level, and the fact that she didn’t have her wand and witch’s robes, which were her tools for controlling magic, led to her losing control. In the end, the twins were nearly swept away to the distant sea and would have floated to Border Town if Siwoo hadn’t rescued them with his ribbon.
“Sharon, are you really sorry?”
“Yes, I didn’t mean for it to go this far. I’m really sorry.”
Despite everything, they were twins she had grown fond of. Sharon sincerely apologized for her mistake.
“Then! Bring the picnic basket!”
“We packed lots of yummy things! Let’s eat together!”
“I’ll go get it.”
As Siwoo tried to get up, Sharon waved her arms, urging him to sit back down on the sunbed.
“No, I’ll go. I’ll be right back!”
Before he could stop her, Sharon ran off. As soon as Sharon disappeared, the twins sprang up like they had never been tired.
“Now’s the time, Odette!”
“Okay, sis!”
Odette and Odile immediately headed to their luggage, which was placed at the edge of the beach, and dramatically unfurled the rolled-up sunbathing mats on the sand. Then, they quickly took off their swimsuit tops. The twins’ small breasts were revealed as they peeled off their seawater-soaked tops. It had been a while since he had seen their perky breasts, and they looked fresh and lovely.
“What are you doing now?”
Suddenly taking off their tops?
Siwoo was startled and asked, but the twins had already laid down on the mats, sliding onto them with great momentum.
“You can see! Assistant! Put oil on us!”
“We’re going to sunbathe!”
“That’s so sudden?”
“Odette and I researched it, and apparently, women with a tan are more sexy!”
“I really wanted to try it! Our teachers did it every summer!”
The twins had their own ulterior motives.
It was a chance to naturally touch their assistant’s bare skin without raising any suspicion. If Sharon were there, she would definitely try to stop them. So, they sent her away to quickly get things done.
“Hurry~ Assistant~”
“If you don’t hurry, we’ll all turn into dried squid in the sun.”
“Alright, alright.”
Odile and Odette wiggled their feet cutely, like they were swimming on land. Siwoo, giving in to the twins’ charm, sat down next to them with the oil he had prepared. The twins giggled to themselves as their plan went smoothly.
First, he poured oil onto their radiant backs. As expected of twins, their sizes, areas, and even the positions of their protruding shoulder blades were completely identical.
“Ugh…”
“Hnn…”
Odile and Odette shivered as the oil was suddenly poured on them. It seemed to be a bit cold.
“Ready?”
“I’m ready.”
“Me too!”
Siwoo roughly washed the sand off his hands with water and placed them on Odile and Odette’s backs. He knew that if he did one before the other, he would definitely hear complaints.
-Twitch!
-Twitch!
As soon as Siwoo’s hands touched their bare skin, Odile and Odette reacted noticeably. They suddenly stiffened up, as if ice had been placed on them, from their relaxed positions. Their toes were also pointed like they were doing ballet.
-Swish, swish, swish
Siwoo moved his hands alternately, applying the oil evenly from their waists up to their backs.
But maybe this wasn’t something to take lightly.
The feeling of his palms against their skin was no joke.
Moreover, the twins’ white, soft skin, which began to shine as the oil was applied, brought back various memories. Usually, the twins were just like cute younger sisters, but when they took off their clothes and genuinely tried to seduce him, they showed a devilish power.
When Siwoo’s hands touched their waists, which didn’t protrude at all even when they were lying down, Odile and Odette simultaneously began a duet of soft sighs.
“Haaang…”
“Hnnn… unh…”
“No weird noises.”
“But, it’s been a while since your hands touched us, Assistant?”
“That’s right, Assistant is touching our bodies… it feels kind of naughty.”
So, they had been aiming for this from the start.
He kept wanting to touch them.
The combination of their vibrant skin and the tanning oil was stimulating his senses of hearing, touch, and sight to a wicked degree.
“How do you feel, Assistant?”
“It feels like marinating a lukewarm steak with olive oil.”
“…Is that all? Don’t you want to do this! And that!?”
“Uh… um…”
“If you sneak into our room tonight… we’ll let you put oil on other places too.”
“We’ll put lots on you too, Assistant!”
Here it comes.
He had been thinking about telling the twins soon.
He just hadn’t found the right timing.
“Ahem, Odile, Odette, there’s something I need to tell you.”
At Siwoo’s cough, the twins slightly turned their heads and stared at him intently. Siwoo was at a loss for words as their mysterious purple eyes focused on him.
“I, well… um…”
The lonely and desolate abundance, with no one to rely on.
There was no one to talk to, and no one remembered Siwoo.
Then he met Sharon.
At first, he was just working with Sharon, who was drowning in debt, under the guise of a symbiotic relationship, but their relationship deepened as they supported each other.
Now, if someone asked who his girlfriend was, Sharon would be the first person that came to mind. If he continued this ambiguous relationship, wouldn’t it be the same as cheating or playing the field?
He needed to clarify this vague relationship…
“……”
“……”
He couldn’t bring himself to say it.
The twins had excellent intuition.
Odile was looking at Siwoo, who couldn’t bring himself to speak, with anxious, wavering eyes, and Odette was almost in tears.
The twins had approached Siwoo out of curiosity when he was still a slave.
Although their relationship had started under the twins’ coercion, they had gone through many life-threatening situations together, building a strong bond that went beyond that of a slave and apprentice witch.
When he had become a shell of a person after breaking up with Amelia.
He remembered the warmth of Odile’s embrace.
He remembered the kindness of Odette, who had prepared a heartfelt gift for Siwoo when he returned to his past life.
He still remembered the twins’ affection for him.
That was why he couldn’t say it.
Cheating or playing the field was morally wrong.
But drawing a line with the twins, who only looked at him, felt even more cruel and shameless.
It was really hard to decide.
Couldn’t he just make all three of them happy?
Only such irresponsible thoughts came to mind.
“…I’ll grill the meat at the barbecue later. I’m good at grilling meat.”
Siwoo sighed inwardly and postponed his decision.
He would have to seriously consult Takasho when he visited him next time.
Takasho would probably give him some reasonable advice.
“R, really? Why are you saying that with such a serious face…”
“Y, yeah… you surprised us…”
Just as the twins were awkwardly smiling.
“What are you two doing right now!”
Sharon, who was bringing the picnic basket from afar, saw the twins lying down with their tops off and rushed over in a panic.
Yes Takasho bro SOS.
