Chapter 431 – #91_Merry Christmas(3)
#430
1.
Master spent a long time talking with Lapi.
Siwoo, who had been listening to the conversation from the side, thought it would be rude to eavesdrop any further and moved a little away.
After crying and laughing for a while, Eloa returned to Siwoo with her eyes red.
“Come here, would you?”
“Are you okay?”
“I’m fine, so come here. I want to introduce you to Lapi too.”
Eloa grabbed Siwoo’s wrist with a choked voice and wiped away her tears with her sleeve.
Siwoo stood stiffly in front of the tombstone, feeling unnecessarily nervous.
Eloa cleared her throat a few times and then showed Siwoo to Lapi.
“Lapi, this is the person.”
With Siwoo by her side, Eloa began to introduce him enthusiastically.
“Can you believe it? He has self-generating magic, and he’s a man. And his achievements are so fast and amazing, it’s like seeing your old self.”
“……”
“He’s a bit clumsy, not very good at talking, and greedy, so he’s a playboy who seduces all sorts of witches…”
“……”
“But now, he’s someone I can trust more than anyone else, someone I can rely on….”
“……”
Her voice, which had been praising Siwoo in an excited tone, eventually returned to a sob.
With that voice, barely squeezed out, she finished her greeting to Lapi.
“So don’t worry too much. Rest in peace.”
Siwoo carefully put his arm around her shoulder, and Eloa buried herself in Siwoo’s arms and sobbed for a long time.

“Are you feeling a little better now?”
Eloa’s face was covered in tears.
In fact, she had visited Lapi’s grave several times before.
But this was the first time she had cried so much that she felt relieved.
Even when she felt choked up and a sense of loss that felt like her heart was falling,
tears wouldn’t come out.
What had been holding back her tears was the guilt she hadn’t resolved,
and the regret for the days they could never share again.
Tonight, Eloa experienced the regret and sadness that had lasted for 100 years turning into beautiful beads and scattering over the garden.
This too,
must be because Siwoo is by her side now.
“I showed you an ugly side.”
Eloa smiled and looked up at Siwoo, feeling somehow relieved.
Siwoo’s eyes were red.
He must have been feeling down while waiting for Eloa, smoking a cigarette.
My disciple, my love, my destiny, who willingly sheds tears with me even though it’s not his own problem.
“Not at all. I’m grateful that you let me come to such a precious place with you, Master.”
It’s the harvest festival, a rare occasion.
After today, it will be difficult to see Siwoo’s face for a while.
The calamities and commotions happening in the present world recently could not be resolved in just a day or two.
If it’s the last time, I want to spend it laughing together.
Thinking that, Eloa held Siwoo’s hand tightly.
After that, Eloa and Siwoo walked around the garden for a long time, looking around.
They shared memories of the past while looking at the panoramic view, which was so open that it could be called Gehenna’s observation deck.
“I was so surprised back then.”
“It’s embarrassing, but I’m quite confident in my cooking.”
“I’d be happy if you made it again next time.”
“I’ll do anything for you.”
Their first meeting when Eloa mistook Siwoo for Ea and attacked him, the time they started training together, the time Eloa treated him to a meal, the nights they spent drinking together, the story of the Witch of Cowardice, and so on.
It was a special day, but there was nothing special about their conversation.
Just like when Siwoo and Eloa often chatted while walking along the secluded forest path of the Gemenae mansion after training.
They were trivial stories that didn’t need to be mentioned.
Yet, the reason they were so happy was probably because their hands were firmly connected.
Just that made their steps light and their hearts pound.
“It’s about time we went somewhere.”
“I feel a little sorry about this? I heard that the man is supposed to plan the date course…”
“Why would you be sorry? Don’t worry about it.”
In fact, Siwoo had planned to walk with Eloa towards the Malcuth Gallery.
The structure of the arcade shopping street was perfect for decorating with harvest festival ornaments, and a preliminary survey had confirmed that it was very lavishly decorated.
But seeing how meticulously Eloa had prepared, he wanted to go along with her plan.
“It’s the Arcana Village in Lenomond Town.”
“Yes, I will escort you.”
2.
Originally, the Tiferet ducal family was a family that boasted considerable wealth.
Now, the fertile land of Gehenna, including the vineyards of the Mendel Hills, which were acquired by the Gemenae family, all belonged to the Tiferet family.
However, Eloa had invested all her wealth in a charity project called the Location Point, as is widely known, so she didn’t have much money.
However, there were many witches who showed her favor due to her character and achievements, and she had more than a dozen official sponsors, so she was far from the tearful poverty she had experienced in the past like Sharon.
Eloa did not accept the favors of her sponsors unless it was necessary.
Her character was inherently upright, and she didn’t consider her work to be something to boast about to others.
The reason she accepted the accommodation provided by the Gemenae count family was because it was a reward for the artifacts Eloa had provided to the Gemenae count family so far. If she didn’t have such a connection, she would have refused the invitation.
But today, she decided to accept the favor of the Suah branch manager.
Since Siwoo was always surrounded by women, this night when she could have him all to herself was precious.
And if it was a harvest festival night that made her heart flutter for no reason, she wanted to be alone with him.
The Arcana Village in Lenomond Town.
As the name suggests, it was a residential complex located southeast of Trinity Academy.
Rather than large mansions like the Gemenae count family or the Yesod count family, townhouses that were more like twin outposts stood here and there at a suitable distance.
“It’s my first time coming here.”
“Is that so?”
During her days as a slave, it was a den of demons that she didn’t need to enter and didn’t want to think about entering, and after returning, she didn’t have any witches she knew here, so there was no reason to visit.
Anyway, it was a rather plain place in Gehenna, which was full of famous spots in various towns.
The only thing to see was a small lake that occupied about half of the area of the Arcana Village.
Still, the mansions, each showing off their individuality for the harvest festival, and the path of tall Korean pine trees heavily laden with snow, gave a sense of quiet and tranquility.
Among them, the mansion that Eloa led him to was probably the most modest in the Arcana Village, a red brick house that felt unworthy of the name mansion.
They passed through the fence that stood instead of a wall and entered through the front gate.
Compared to its relatively cute exterior, the interior was so neat that not a single speck of dust could be found even in the corners.
The two of them shook off the snow on their shoes and changed into fluffy indoor slippers.
“It’s pretty here too.”
“It’s a quiet and nice place. The best thing is that it’s just the two of us.”
Eloa smiled as Siwoo looked around and spoke.
Although it looked cozy, it wasn’t a place that deserved such exclamations.
However, his appearance of complimenting the place, perhaps because it was a precious space for Eloa like the hanging garden, seemed very affectionate.
“There’s a cozy room upstairs. I’ll prepare some simple snacks while you wait up there, so let’s have a drink together.”
“Yes? No, I’ll help you prepare.”
I can’t just sit still like a master while my master is working.
Siwoo rolled up his sleeves and tried to help her, but she stopped him quite forcefully.
“No. You must absolutely not come downstairs and wait quietly upstairs.”
With those words, Eloa disappeared towards the living room, her pink hair swaying like a tail.

“Hmm….”
As Eloa had repeatedly instructed, Siwoo took a seat on the second floor first.
The structure of the room was quite simple.
A door that was immediately visible when going up the stairs.
When you opened the door, there was a sofa, a bed, and a bookshelf.
It felt like the attic was being used as a room, so the ceiling was slanted, and the width was narrower than the first floor.
It was so small that a single rug under the bed in the Gemenae mansion could cover the entire room.
Anyway, Siwoo put his feet on the soft wool carpet and sat on the sofa.
“I’m getting nervous for no reason.”
Unlike the past when his right hand was his lifelong companion, Siwoo now knew what the next development would be in this atmosphere.
With hashtags like #harvestfestival #moonlitnight #justthetwoofus #withalcohol, how could he mistake it?
The problem was that he had never had a serious romantic relationship with his master while sober.
Both the first and second times.
Even after regaining his memories, they often shared kisses, but Eloa had never asked for anything more.
Siwoo, knowing Eloa’s worries, had never proposed it either.
Still, since they wouldn’t be able to see each other for a while, he wanted to have a good time…
“I’m coming in.”
After thinking about this and that, just when he decided to create a natural atmosphere with his experience, Siwoo, who had gotten up to receive the drinks, was momentarily stunned.
“……”
Where was the stern master beyond the slightly opened door? There was a rabbit.
A high-exposure leotard that showed more than half of her white skin, and a soft-looking cleavage that was clearly visible.
Her moderately toned thighs were prominent because of her heels, and the sight of the straps connected to her garter belt gently pressing into her skin was sensuality itself.
Eloa, unable to look directly at Siwoo, was looking at the tray with the bottle, glasses, and cheese, her face flushed red.
-Rattle, rattle, rattle
The tray was rattling and making noise due to her shyness and nervousness.
Eloa had prepared her outfit on the first floor in advance and changed while preparing the drinks.
She had also prepared lines to surprise Siwoo with her surprise rabbit costume and to get through the awkward atmosphere with cuteness.
‘Tonight, I am a rabbit for Siwoo.’
A line she had memorized over and over again so she wouldn’t forget it, even though it was just one line.
But when she stood in front of Siwoo, her mind went blank.
She didn’t think it would happen, but she wondered if Siwoo would scold her for this outrageous outfit.
Even if he didn’t show it outwardly, would he think she was horny, so to speak?
As a conservative Eloa, she couldn’t possibly guess what Siwoo was thinking.
But she was in a situation where she couldn’t back out now that she had come this far.
Eloa gathered her mind, which kept wanting to close her eyes and escape reality.
She glared at him and shouted.
The lines she had prepared, the feelings she wanted to convey to him.
“I, I’m a horny rabbit…!”
“……”
And Eloa immediately realized her mistake.
Her inner thoughts and the lines she had prepared were strangely mixed, resulting in a bold declaration of perversion!
“N-no…! I’m a horny rabbit for Siwoo!”
“……”
“No, no…! I’m… a rabbit…. Just for today….”
After a series of blunders, it had become a strange, incomprehensible mess, a complete disaster.
A cold silence flowed, and Eloa hung her head.
The rabbit ear ribbons that had been fluttering stood drooping.
She had messed up.
She had prepared this with the help of Sharon, but it was all a mess.
Everything was a mess because of this.
Eloa picked up her excuses.
“I, I thought… you would be happy if I did this…. Is it hideous after all?”
“No, Master, not at all.”
“No, I know it too. This kind of outfit doesn’t suit me… My hair color is weird, and I’m short…”
At that moment.
The bottle of alcohol that Eloa was holding tumbled to the floor with a crash.
It was because Siwoo had hugged Eloa without looking back, causing the tray she was holding to fall to the floor.
“Master, thank you so much.”
“……”
“You’re the cutest and prettiest I’ve ever seen you.”
Eloa’s heart, which had almost been plunged into the abyss, soared as if it had sprouted wings at his one compliment.
“…Really?”
Siwoo’s answer to Eloa’s question, who looked up at him with the expression of a puppy who had broken a water bottle while its owner was gone, was.
A hand that roughly grabbed her waist and a deep, deep kiss.

I originally planned to release all three chapters at once, but I’m releasing it early because many people are waiting.
