Chapter 470 – Wreaths.
“Is Elkana okay?”
Usher returned to her Lydica’s house and asked her out. Well, they came home unexpectedly because Elkanah had drunk one of the two cups of kvass he had served and got drunk.
“Yeah, I think I was simply drunk and fell asleep.”
“Fortunately, the.”
Originally, at Elkana’s age, she had no problem drinking and getting drunk. Even though she was a bit young, she was a grown-up, at an age where she could do anything if she wanted to.
The problem was that her condition was not much different from those of her beggars who had been roaming her streets not long ago. She didn’t have a stomachache lately thanks to Usher and Lydica taking care of her, but she was just in case.
“You seem to really hate witches.”
“Why would I hate witches? You and that child are human beings of the same blood after all.”
“…That’s why you and your sister must know each other.”
Lidika looked at him with a strange expression and muttered, then suddenly found a large teddy bear and burst into laughter.
“Puhuh! What is it! Did you even bring that teddy bear?”
They ran out of the shop that had spread out on the street in the middle of the meal. I paid for the food in advance, so there was no problem, but I left without eating most of the food.
“I don’t mess around with loot or anything that’s mine.”
Even if it is a gift given to someone.
“Huhuhu, you seem to be consistent in the odd part.”
Lidica laughed happily and tapped the wet teddy bear on the nose, then looked at him as if she remembered something.
“Oh! I missed the festival unexpectedly. Can I tell you a funny story?”
“Is this an interesting story?”
“Yes, Mr. Usher, do you know what animal the teddy bear was based on?”
“Isn’t it a bear?”
“That’s right. A bear.”
She continued the story while petting the head of the large teddy bear.
“But Mr. Usher, do you know anything about bears?”
“…I don’t know.”
After hearing Lydica’s story, he realized that he knew nothing about teddy bears, but he had absolutely no idea what bears were like, what they ate, or what their habits were.
It’s not like I’ve only seen teddy bears in Paciphenia. I just handed it over without thinking because I thought it was a doll like that.
“Then can you guess what it looks like?”
“Is that a bet too?”
“Well?”
Lydica smiled and took the large teddy bear into her arms. Even though she would already be wet and wet as she would get wet in the rain. Usher watched and observed the teddy bear.
“I understand that it was once a shaggy creature.”
“Ummm, and what?”
“Are your eyes really like that?”
The bear’s eyes are made of black glass beads, so they are bright and emphasize the cuteness unique to the doll.
“I think that’s right.”
As Lydica quietly closed her eyes and smiled, she seemed to have a pleasant imagination.
“Were you a herbivore?”
“Mostly they eat meat, but they ate well regardless. Did you know that there were children who ate herbivores at all?”
“It must have been quite large.”
“That’s right.”
He imagined for a moment what to compare it to, and saw the nose and mouth protruding from the doll’s face.
“You must have smelled very well.”
“!”
Upon hearing his story, Lydica seemed startled and revealed her blue eyes.
“What? Have you ever actually seen bears? I’m sure they’re all extinct?!”
“I guessed from the shape of the doll. The protruding nose and mouth must mean that smelling was an important function.”
That was the story I had heard from Krikaliev. As he progressed through the wilderness, he heard many stories from him and learned from him what characteristics of certain creatures.
“It was like that.”
“Anyway, the bear creature must have been a fairly large and violent beast.”
Lydica seemed to regret the fact that he hadn’t actually seen the creature, so when she recounted Usher’s own deductions, she chuckled, feeling amused again.
“That’s right. Is everyone talking like that?”
“How did Lidika find out about bears?”
“Whoa, that’s because the teddy bear itself was originally made by witches and given to children as a gift.”
What passed through Usher’s mind for a moment was the small teddy bear that Medea had always hugged and fell asleep. Her mother obviously.
“A Kabbalist?”
“Oh, how do you know that?”
She did not hide her surprise, but there was no longer any sign of wariness on her face.
“Actually, Kabbalist is a word that witches used to call each other after purifying themselves.”
“Then do you need to call me separately?”
“They also have their own traditions as they fall apart in one way or another.”
However, among them, it is said that giving a teddy bear to one’s child as a gift is a tradition that has become popular among witches even if they are not Kabbalists.
“Apart from being so cute and fluffy, bears are said to be very smart and strong animals.”
Stories about bears were passed down from mouth to mouth among witches. Kabbalists, hoping that the spirit of such a bear would protect their child, made a doll in the shape of a bear and tied a ribbon with a text meaning protection around the doll’s neck as a gift.
“I don’t think this was made by a witch.”
Lydica stretched out her graceful fingers and touched the ribbon around her teddy bear’s neck, but there were no words engraved on it.
-Shoot it
When they were silent, the sound of rain, which increased momentum again, filled the gap.
“Ah! Come to think of it, did you get the correct answer?”
Match! Lydica broke her silence by touching her hand. She then looked at him and she seemed to be holding her breath.
-Click!
The sound that followed was familiar to Usher as well. It was definitely the sound of the pins holding the armor being pulled out. It was also quicker to notice because she had already taken off her breastplate.
-Sureuk, tak!
But this time Lydica took off not only her breastplate, but also her coat and gauntlets that were draped over her shoulders, and finally, she took off the armor and girdle at her waist that covered her private parts.
Boots had already been taken off at the entrance, so now she was wearing only a pair of soaked wet tights. That means that.
Through her tights, Lydica’s underwear was exposed. She was standing in front of him in her underwear, as she couldn’t help seeing her white skin through her wet tights.
“Uh, how are you?”
Seeing Lydica staring at him with her blushing face down and a glance at him, Usher involuntarily strode in front of her.
“Oh, huh.”
The moment she reached out her hand to her figure as she exhaled her breath as if she looked up at him as she approached her.
“Hey?! Not now! I’ll explain it properly later!”
Only then did Lydica bite her body as if frightened of her and run away in a hurry. Usher had no choice but to watch the woman’s back showing through her underwear.
“Oooh, what am I doing to a guy who likes her sister!”
That night, when Lydica fell asleep, she lay down on the bed, but she couldn’t sleep, banging on her pillow in shame. There were many reasons why she fled from Usher’s reach.
“Di Macaeri must not lose her virginity…”
The first things that came to his mind were the fact that he liked his sister and Dimacaeri’s rules. Dimacaeri was an honorary position obtained by holding a tournament among witches.
The superficial reason was that she was a witch who proved that she had washed her sins by injuring the same witch while giving pleasure to the public, but witches had only one qualification to participate in the tournament.
‘She was a pure witch.’
Witches are deprived of her virginity for various reasons. Mating, rape, prostitution, etc. It protects witches from such things institutionally, but the limits were clear.
What if the witches raised it and rejected it? Even those who protect and manage them harass them by giving them various disadvantages if they refuse to have a relationship with them.
Whether they wanted it or not, there were many things they had to do in order to survive. Lydica was lucky enough to avoid such a touch, so she just deserved it.
Dimakaeri had only one purpose.
‘My body must have already been marked by someone from a higher level.’
It was to become a sex slave and mother of a powerful person who wanted witch blood. It was for this reason that she was respected beyond being treated differently from her other witches.
‘I really hate it.’
That’s why I dare to hope. She wished that Usher, who looked at the witch as she was without prejudice, would hug her.
Even knowing he loves his sister.
“Sweet♡”
Her moaning burst out of her moment, and Lydica glanced at her and confirmed her own visit. Her hand was teasing her fingers which were tucked between her own legs from her one day.
‘It can’t be helped. If it’s just imagination, there’s no problem.’
It was then that Lydica closed her eyes and Usher opened the door and came over and patted her under herself, imagining that she would run over him.
-Thud!
“Aww?!”
In her moment, something heavy on her crushed her. Lydica, who was about to scream, was blocked by something bizarrely soft.
Hehe! Have you been waiting for me that long?”
When she opened her eyes, what she saw was a fat man sweating profusely.
