Chapter 1089 – #259_Godpapa(2)

“Haa~ It’s spicy, spicy~ Sweet, salty, and spicy….”
Dorothy was fanning herself with her hand while eating tteokbokki.
Since time immemorial, the scent of middle and high school girls has been defined by the smell of tteokbokki, fried food, and sundae, hasn’t it?
Seeing her wearing a school uniform she had somehow managed to get, it felt like I was on a fresh date with a foreign exchange student.
“But it’s delicious! It’s stimulating!”
“I also like the sweet potato tempura.”
Next to me, Rinne was also eating tempura with her chopsticks, dipping it in soy sauce with a calm demeanor.
We had moved locations after having a rather serious conversation at the cafe, and to cut to the chase, neither Rinne nor Dorothy knew anything about Las Werfanas.
Even if Rinne didn’t know, if Dorothy, who had a wide network and ran a business, didn’t know, it must have been kept a very closely guarded secret.
“Still, if it’s true, they’d be a reliable force. It’s like having capable witches infiltrate not only Hexennacht but also the public society as spies.”
“That’s true.”
Anyway, that’s how it went.
There was a bit of a commotion when Siwoo said he had become the godfather of about 40 daughters, which shocked Rinne to some extent, but the Werfanas issue was brushed aside.
In any case, the ‘Round Table Conference’ would be held within a few days, and if there were any questions, I could just call Nari to the Round Table and ask her.
Now was the time to celebrate Dorothy’s return.
“I have an important announcement to make.”
And at this point, there was something I needed to tell the two of them.
“I’m planning to bring you both to Gehenna soon.”
I had refrained from saying this before because I was worried about raising false hopes.
It was a difficult project to push forward with only the status of Baron Shin Siwoo and the head of the Hessed Society.
But the current Shin Siwoo is different.
He had grown enough to make the absurdity of bringing two former enemies into the city within reach.
“Is that possible?”
“Husband, there’s no need to overdo it.”
However, both Dorothy, who knew the nature of Gehenna well, and Rinne expressed their concern.
“I know you’re worried, darling~ But like Rinne said, there’s no need to overdo it. Something like this doesn’t happen easily, and they must have understood. That anyone who touches Shin Siwoo’s lover will be in big trouble.”
That’s true.
Siwoo’s motive was ‘revenge’ itself, as anyone could see.
He destroyed the Lehar Group, broke down the gates of Hexennacht, killed Herja, and even killed Lydia, all for the sake of his lover’s revenge.
It was intentional.
Siwoo had a lot to protect.
He had clearly shown everyone what would happen if they touched ‘his people.’
No public figure would dare to make Siwoo their enemy without being prepared for a life-or-death struggle.
“But… I don’t think that kind of logic will work in Gehenna.”
Of course.
Gehenna has strict rules.
If the strongest guy could just ignore the law and do whatever he wanted, Gehenna wouldn’t exist as it is now.
But conversely, the moment you are appointed to a position selected by the strict law, your words carry weight.
“It’s okay. I’ve been promoted now.”
“……?”
“I’m Count Shin Siwoo.”
“Is that really a promotion…?”
The titles of Gehenna are given to those who have contributed to Gehenna.
The establishment of the Hessed Society, sufficient personal power, and the feat of not being able to contain his indignation when Gehenna was attacked first, and going into the enemy’s base to cause chaos.
Amidst the intensifying conflict between the two cities, Siwoo’s unparalleled actions were sufficient political propaganda and proof of his qualifications.
“I heard from Alvireo that Count Caliostro, the head of the Emerald Tablet Academy, will fill the vacant position of Duke Keter, and the remaining countship will be given to me. Although the official conferment is yet to come.”
For this reason, Siwoo’s nameplate had become very shiny.
“Anyway, I think I can bring the two of you without any problem.”
In fact, the doubt of ‘Is this really possible?’ still remained.
No matter how much the title of countship is worth more than gold in Gehenna, which respects honor and trust, there has never been a case in history where citizenship was given to an enemy.
Still, I was prepared to lose some credibility.
I was planning to push through with the idea, even if it meant being seen as a ‘count who disregards Gehenna’s laws to take care of his enemy lovers.’
I wouldn’t let something like this happen again.
2.
As always, the date course with the Dorothy & Rinne duo wasn’t particularly special.
We went to a cafe, ate a tteokbokki, fried food, and sundae set at a shabby old restaurant in an alley that seemed to have been in business for 30 years, and strolled along the palace’s walking path.
The only special event was going to a sticker photo booth.
Chicken gangjeong, giant castella, claw machine arcades, etc….
It was a Korean trend that spread like wildfire and then disappeared, but this sticker photo booth seemed to have been around for quite a while.
“Isn’t a sticker photo booth a must for middle school girls?”
I couldn’t resist Dorothy’s urging, and in the end, we took a three-shot photo in front of a machine with flashy automatic filters, arm in arm.
After that, we went back home, buying snacks and drinks from a nearby mart to enjoy with a movie.
The place we were returning to was an apartment nearby, which was prepared for Dorothy’s surprise event.
“Whyyy~ I want to shower together toooo!”
“Absolutely not.”
-Bang!
After temporarily separating Dorothy, who was clinging to the bathroom door and whining, I washed up and naturally sat down on the sofa set up in front of the TV.
“I’m on the left. I can hear Papa’s heartbeat closer~”
“Dorothy, stop being so clingy.”
“Rinne unnie~ Please drink and pass out quickly~ So Papa and I can have a cozy conversation in bed, you know?”
“I’m not drinking today.”
After calming down the two who were growling at each other for a moment.
After selecting a movie to watch from the many OTT services.
An ordinary, unremarkable, and therefore tearfully precious everyday life.
The everyday life that I realized was precious only after losing it was here now.
What was all this struggle for?
What should I live for in the future?
My goal was clear.
As the end credits of the movie rolled and Siwoo, who was immersed in emotion, blinked his eyes at the tingling tip of his nose.
“Ah~ That was fun~”
“Indeed.”
Dorothy and Rinne were starting an invisible battle of wits.
Putting aside their past business relationship or ties, they had already lived together in the Seoul branch of the Location Point.
They were so close that they could read each other’s dark intentions like the back of their hands.
“It was fun today, Rinne~ Then I guess you should leave now? This is my and Papa’s house.”
“Your magic and your husband are not yet fully recovered. You need protection.”
At this point, Dorothy was aiming for a lovey-dovey relationship with Siwoo that was so sweet it would rot your teeth.
In other words, a lovey-dovey relationship with a slightly dangerous level.
At that point, Rinne, who was taciturn and easy to tease but also a reliable friend, was an obstacle that needed to be removed.
‘Even so, Dorothy-nim’s body isn’t in good condition right now, so that’s a bit….’
Of course, Siwoo had already rejected Dorothy’s advances.
In fact, from Dorothy’s point of view, it was quite baffling to postpone reunion sex in front of a lover who had come back to life, just because her body had become a little younger, even though the contents were the same….
But it wasn’t like she didn’t understand Siwoo’s stance.
Considering he had achieved a luxurious harem that no emperor in history had ever achieved, he was quite disciplined.
It meant that he didn’t act like ‘Ah, women are boring. I want something younger’ or ‘Women are boring now. What about men? Hehehe.’
That was the ‘day’ Siwoo, anyway.
But the ‘night’ was different.
Since time immemorial, the sun has illuminated the brilliant truth, and the moon has revealed the dim secrets.
The magical time that strips away the veneer of civilization from humans and reveals the raw, unvarnished truth is the night.
‘Papa, Dorothy is scared to sleep alone….’
First, approach the bed like this.
Siwoo, who was nothing but kind, wouldn’t be able to turn away from Dorothy’s obvious acting.
‘Can’t we just kiss? Just~ just a kiss….’
If we lie in bed under the same blanket, skinship will naturally increase.
Time the moment and have a deep kiss.
Siwoo would accept it if it was just a kiss.
‘Papa’s… it’s… gotten… bigger….’
During the kiss, she would shrink back as if embarrassed by the blunt sensation poking her lower abdomen, and look at Siwoo with a mixture of fear and anticipation.
‘It’s because of Dorothy that it became like this, so with your mouth….’
Omitted below.
Dorothy had a ‘I’ll just put it in the tip’ plan to seduce and pounce on the innocent Papa….
“Ah, Rinne-nim is also going to sleep here tonight.”
“Why! This is our house!”
“As Rinne-nim said, there are safety issues, and I already got permission from Teacher Sua in advance.”
“Then what about me? Am I going to be alone? We just barely met again…. Aren’t we going to have some hot~ love?”
At that moment, Rinne, who had been suffering from Dorothy’s provocations all morning, stepped forward with dignity.
“Dorothy, it’s common sense that a daughter shouldn’t sleep with her father.”
“You shouldn’t be saying that?!”
After that, Dorothy threw a tantrum several times, but it didn’t work on Siwoo at all.
Things that would have been glossed over in the atmosphere were cut off sharply by Rinne, so there was no way things would go well.
In this way, three days passed with a coexistence of peace and ups and downs.
Dorothy’s physical age was now 19 years old.
She was of legal age for sex.
