One.
The Witch of the Guild.
Dorothy Sahaquiel.

The owner of super-large breasts, which is rare even in the witch world, and the owner of a laid-back personality as much as the size of his heart.

However, Dorothy was not always as laid-back as she is now.

Rather, she felt skeptical about her life without finding the reason for her life, and her slack tone and leisurely appearance were more like mimicry to hide unknown nervousness and emptiness.

Why don’t humans rather put thorns over them to cover their weak spots?

It was after meeting Siwoo that Dorothy’s mask matched her real mindset.

Location Point Gwanghwamun Branch.

Not only did she betray the public world she had been involved in until now, but she also ended her successful business.
It was Dorothy who felt the greatest peace in her life even though she lived half of her pension…

“Dorothy. It’s crazy.”

Lynne, who was engrossed in her new hobby, ‘poetry’, laying down her paper, brushes, and ink, threw a scolding at Dorothy, who was spinning around her guest room.

“What?”
“It has been spinning around in place since before.”
“I?”
“You.”

Linnaeus and Dorothy had a pretty good relationship.

There are only two people with whom they can talk freely without any formality, and above all, they have in common that they are Siwoo’s lover and have a public background, so it is difficult not to get close.

Even if Linne’s sociability is poor, she is a person who values ​​family harmony, and isn’t Dorothy very friendly?

“Well, am I normal?”

However, the sight of Dorothy, who was soon informed that she would come, was something that even Rinne, who was quite close to her, had never seen before.

It’s not just a look that looks like a long-awaited meeting.
It was clearly something that bothered him.

“What is going on?”

Linnaeus left her unfinished painting and wiped the ink from her brush.
Realizing that it was not an ordinary thing, she decided to give her counseling even though it was annoying.

“Rather than anything… Ha…”

Dorothy sighed and sat down on the sofa.

“Darling is coming with the ‘Witch of Faithfulness.'”
“I heard that. She said that the Witch of Faithfulness asked her to meet as a condition of making a partnership with the Society. Is it bad luck?”
“No. No. She might be bad for her.”

Rinne vaguely sensed Dorothy’s restlessness as if she had done something big wrong.
It’s because Linnae has always been unique.

“Are you my ex?”
“It’s not an excuse, I never had a lover. But… We were partners.”
“Partner?”

It was over 100 years ago, but I still remember the name.

Arin Tiandra.

It seems that she has become a full-fledged nun now and is building her own society, but at that time she was a young witch who had not long since finished her succession.

Again, Dorothy also had her own earnestness and urgency to fill her void, and by the time I met her, I was concentrating on her theology.
She made pilgrimages to the Holy Land, and in fact she even entered a convent.

If life is worthless even if you live or die, you wondered if the answer lies in the Absolute, not humans or witches.

In the meantime, she met by chance and preached a plausible idea to Arinti Andra, who had similar concerns.
Impressed by this, he and Arin embarked on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land.

The emptiness of life with nothing to hold on to is connected to lust.
It is a solitude that she cannot shake off on her own, so she finds her salvation in the fleeting bonds that can be obtained skin to skin.

‘Dorothy, this kind of behavior will surely not be tolerated by God.’
‘But right now, I want Dorothy more than anything in the world.’
‘If it’s true love, will God turn a blind eye to it?’

So Dorothy accepted the kiss from the innocent nun.

‘If this… Even though she knows she can’t…’
‘Ah, forgive me…’

Arin Tiandra undressed and spent a night of bliss on the same bed.

‘Can we go to bed together tonight?’
‘I know I shouldn’t be like this, but I want you.’

The impulsive relationship continued even after a month or two.
Throughout the pilgrimage to the Holy Land, the two of them bit each other’s body, sticking out their greedy teeth far from their sincerity.

However, this relationship did not last long.

At that time, Dorothy was nothing more than an empty chaff.
There was no room in the heart to love others.

It’s just that the mimicry created by the years I’ve lived so far is stronger than Arin, who expresses everything honestly.

There was a gap as wide as the ruins and the resort area between the Dorothy that Arin sees and the self-portrait that Dorothy herself is aware of.

However, since Arin has been asking Dorothy to act as a mental support to fill her shortcomings, it is bound to be a relationship that will not last long in the first place.

6 months after all.
Dorothy used her business as an excuse to end the trip.
Saying that she would follow her, she calmly shook Arin’s hand.

‘Leave… Is it?’
‘Are you tired of my sinful body now?’
‘I know, you’re not like that…’
‘But I will wait. Until when.’

It would be a lie if I said I wasn’t sorry.

In the meantime, no matter what her intentions and feelings were, it was a picture of her innocent nun girl being roasted and boiled, coveting her body, and spitting it out when the sweet water ran out.

But whatever memories came and went, it was a century ago.
Her memories of Arryn were dimly diluted in Dorothy.

She is, but she came to see me with Siwoo.

Wasn’t her seemingly ex-lover holding her current lover’s hand and asking for a date?

“To sum it up in one word, it’s very disturbing.”
“…”

Rinne, who got her general context, quietly nodded her head.

“There are questions.”
“Okay, help me.”
“Who are you feeling disturbed by?”

Originally, when thinking alone is complicated, a word of help from the side is valuable.

Strictly speaking, it is both.

Although there is a difference in her social status, she did not send a single letter for over 100 years, even though she was told that she would wait.

Her sense of debt to her and her sense of guilt are the origins of her primary discomfort.

The second is that Siwoo is someone Dorothy truly loves.

I won’t bother mentioning the history of bragging about how skillful I was in front of him in the past and how many witches were killed by me.
If there is a way, it is a dark history among the dark history that I want to erase his memory.

In fact, even then, Dorothy had no qualms about revealing that fact.

Because I thought that Shin Si-woo would also become one of the ‘just people’.
He didn’t know he’d love it this way, he didn’t know he’d love it this way.

However, now she bitterly regrets her cubism at that time.

It would break his heart if he recalled Dorothy’s past remarks and wondered, ‘Am I just one of those people?’

“What if Darling thinks that way when he sees Arin?”
“…”

“I’m really the only one, wouldn’t you think badly? A girl with a complicated past isn’t popular…”
“…”

“Why did I say that at the time…! Dorothy! Are you crazy?!”
“…”

“I have another problem. What to do How should I treat you? When the three of you meet for the first time, what will be the first words?”
“…”

“I missed you? Do you still love me No, do you want to resent it first? Siwoo will never know that we were like that… I can’t help but say this…”
“…”

Rinne was still looking at Dorothy.

It’s like a stage actor’s monologue.

Dorothy, who always carries calmness and composure by her side, is showing off a tremendous agitation by tearing his hair and opening and closing her arms in the air.
She is talking at 2 times the normal speed, having stretched her words enough to be frustrating when listening.

Rinne, who couldn’t see it, threw a word.

“I don’t think I’ll care much if it’s a nanggun.”
“Okay? Really?”

It’s not just consolation, I really think so.

Even if it’s Siwoo right now, isn’t there a lot of lovers?

Due to Siwoo’s temperament, he wouldn’t be shy, and even if it weren’t for that, he was soft enough to melt even Rinne.

The idea that he would criticize Dorothy, whom he considers to be on his side, over a mere past issue…
To put it bluntly, it was Dorothy’s fuss.

It seems that Dorothy’s pure love keeps her from seeing the incident.

“No, no. No matter how you look at it, it’s a serious problem. You will be hated If I’m hated by darlings, I’ll die… My heart will wither…”

Dorothy, with tears in her eyes, clings to the hem of Rinne’s kimono.
Dorothy groaned and shook the hem of her dress, and Rinne’s body tottered.

“What do you do! You are smart! You are a genius! Show me tricks!”
“… Ha.”

It’s bothering.

Linne thinks she wants to get rid of Dorothy as soon as possible while looking elsewhere.
I don’t know if it’s a serious reason, so I don’t want to get caught up in such a fuss.

“Good night.”
“Did you get a good trick?”
“If Nanggun brings her witch, I will call her separately and tell her not to bring up the story of her past.”

Sounds like a threat
It was not an option for Dorothy, who also had a certain sense of debt to Arin.

“What kind of grave is that… Rinneemon, help me… I mean help…”
“Clothes come off. Get off.”
“Aaaaa!!! What should I do!!!”

The witch of the sword runs away, genuinely appalled, whimpering to keep her clothes from coming down.
She is a witch of composition who clings to Rinne and drags her around.

Each of the 22nd rank, belonging to the former Qliphoth, who had fame and notoriety throughout the continent.
It is a scene that other witches would go to sleep if they chanted, “You must have been overworked lately.”

-Smart

“Linne-sama, I’m here. I heard that Dorothy is here.”

It’s Siu’s voice.

“I am still not ready mentally. Hide it, hide it.”

Dorothy shakes her head, but Linne has become too much of a hassle.

“We are here. Take it.”
“You, how could you do that to me… ?!”

Dorothy, who had stopped her crying, looked at Linne with betrayal in her eyes, but her whining didn’t last long.

– Click

Soon the door opened.

Dorothy’s darling Shin Si-woo, who cooks soybean paste stew every day in her dreams.
And next to him stood Arin Tiandra, the ‘witch of faithfulness’ who had the appearance of a pious priest.
