1.
“Sharon unnie, you’re so cool!”
“Ahem!”

“The Uranium Witch!”
“Hehe!”

Sharon puffed out her chest and shrugged at the twins’ enthusiastic medley. Beside her, Odile and Odette waved their hairbrushes like cheerleading batons, shouting energetically.

“There aren’t many witches who get such a cool title!”
“Of course not!”

“The Uranium Witch, how cool is that!”
“Right! Right!”

Siwoo watched the three lovers’ farce from a slight distance.

“……”

He had been forced to watch the skit for the past 15 minutes, and he could foresee the repetitive ending like a musical repeat sign.

Siwoo’s achievements were so spectacular that Sharon’s accomplishments alongside him were often overlooked.

If this were a hunter story, she would be the one who infiltrated the infamous demonic realm, a gate with an EX-level difficulty, and closed it.

She would receive astonished gazes, like, ‘I thought that girl was an A-rank, but she’s actually an S-rank hunter?’ America, which had ignored Korea, would beg, China would be shocked, and Japan would be in a state of panic, declaring an SOS.

Anyway, it was an event with that level of impact.

However.

“…No, this isn’t it!”

The farce was reaching its climax. Sharon, who had been twitching her lips while being praised by the twins, suddenly became teary-eyed.

Her deer-like eyes rippled like a spring, and she soon collapsed with a thud.

“Why the Uranium Witch… there are so many cooler ones… Witch of Divine Punishment, Witch of Wrath, things like that… why uranium of all things… if that’s the case, just call me the Witch of Five Elements again… why, why, why me…”

Like a severe bipolar patient, Sharon immediately turned into a pathetic drawing, hitting the ground and sobbing.

“Uwaaa! Sharon unnie! Remember! Think of cost-effectiveness, cost-effectiveness! Uranium is also an element if you think about it! An actinide element! Number 92!”
“Quick, repeat after me! Uranium is cool! Uranium is amazing! Uranium is great!”

The twins were flustered, trying to prevent the collapse of their carefully built tower.

“No, no! This isn’t the ending I fought for! I just… I just wanted a normal title…”

Sharon cried and cried again, like a man who had sacrificed everything, placed his last hope, and finally obtained the Holy Grail, only to discover it was the root of all evil.

“Sharon, calm down.”

Siwoo, unable to watch any longer, patted Sharon’s back. Sharon, who had been crying with dynamic movements, stood up with even more dynamic force and pointed a finger at Siwoo.

“Don’t pity me! You can never understand me! Demon King!”
“Oh, please.”

Siwoo’s fragile heart was wounded by Sharon’s relentless attacks.

Demon King Shin Siwoo.

That was the new title Siwoo had received from the Gehenna hedonists.

It was more like a real title, like his teacher’s ‘God of War’ or his second teacher’s ‘Sword Demon,’ rather than a witch’s title. Anyway, it was a unique title.

If he had received such a title in his second year of middle school, he would have been quite happy, and Takasho had also praised it as a cool name.

Unfortunately, Siwoo was a Korean man who had completed his military service and graduated from university.

A title that sounded too strong like Demon King only made him cringe.

Just give me a normal one…
In Siwoo’s eyes, the Uranium Witch was better.

What’s wrong with uranium?

“Pretending you don’t like it is so annoying!”
“Assistant-nim was a bit bad. Having a cool title all by yourself.”
“Assistant-nim! Can’t you see Sharon unnie is upset? How could you do that? Aish… we worked so hard to comfort her!”
“No…”

He felt a little wronged.

It seemed there was a slight difference between the ‘Demon King’ that modern Koreans imagined and the ‘Demon King’ that the Gehenna witches imagined.

“The Acorn Witch is better. The Acorn Witch… at least that’s cute, right?”
“Huu, unnie, we have to start this over from the beginning.”
“That’s right, Odette… Sharon unnie. Look here. Okay, let’s repeat slowly again? Uranium is cool.”
“Uranium is… sob… cool…”

While the twins were rebuilding Sharon’s shattered spirit, Siwoo reviewed the events that had occurred while he was in the mortal realm.

2.
Around the time Siwoo was spending his first night with Dorothy.
The moment Lydia Magnus’s death was confirmed and it was confirmed that Shin Siwoo was the one who defeated her.

Another kind of rumor began to circulate in Gehenna.

The source of this rumor was the Young Ladies Club.
The source was the Deep Sea Witch, who had made great achievements alongside the Demon King and the Uranium Witch.

Unlike other rumors, this one was highly credible since one of the parties involved had directly shared the story.

The witches, who had been confident that they would no longer be surprised by any news related to Shin Siwoo, were shocked in another way by the shocking behind-the-scenes story.

“That Casanova had another lover? Two of them?”
“This time, it’s a great witch again… ha, I was going to apply for the girlfriend position, but the document screening is too tough.”

It had already been announced by Dandelion that Shin Siwoo had countless great witches as lovers.

The range of his tastes far exceeded the shallow imagination of ordinary people, encompassing apprentice witches, Tiferet dukes, and even old witches, which had been criticized before.

After that, he had maintained a ‘there is no sin in love’ stance without any proper explanation, and had covered up the scandal with the groundbreaking issue of the establishment of the Hesed Society and his own charm.

“But that’s the Sword Witch and… the Way-Seeking Witch…?”
“Both are enemies of the state?!”

But this time, even the enemies of the state were his lovers.

Moreover, one of them was the Sword Demon, the Sword Witch, who was treated like a natural disaster in the mortal realm.

It was a forbidden love in a completely different sense from teacher and student, father and daughter.

Most of the Gehenna witches suffered from shortness of breath and dizziness due to this shocking scandal, and some felt a threat to their safety.

“This isn’t right!”
“Doesn’t this mean Shin Siwoo has been colluding with the enemies of the state?”

“That’s probably not the case. I heard that the two enemies of the state already stole and provided key information from Hexennacht. They also played a significant role in the last gate incident.”

“They’ve also been voluntarily detained for quite a long time… and most of all, the target of this location point attack was the two people who were branded as traitors. It seems like they really turned over a new leaf.”
“Above all, isn’t it because Tiferet Duke, who is known for being ruthless towards enemies of the state, is condoning it? There must be a valid reason.”

Various opinions were rampant, including ‘it’s a bit different from the usual cases of enemies of the state’ and ‘still, enemies of the state are enemies of the state,’ but public opinion eventually converged on ‘even so, having enemies of the state as lovers is a bit much.’

In fact, even this level of public opinion was diluted by Shin Siwoo’s achievements.
In the past, it wouldn’t have been strange if a ‘Shin Siwoo, you horny bastard, let’s exile him’ theory had been discussed.

“Wait, something’s strange?”

At this point, a few quick-witted people felt a strange connection and sense of incongruity.

“Didn’t they say the Way-Seeking Witch died in the last attack? But now she’s alive and well? My friend said she saw the three of them dating together.”
“Huh? Then could it be… is this why Shin Siwoo stepped in? The pieces fit perfectly?”

The place that cleared up the questions was ‘Leto Salon.’

As you can tell from the name of the goddess of motherhood, Leto, it was a community for witches with apprentice witches, that is, a Gehenna-style mom cafe (offline).

“My daughter heard it directly from the Deep Sea Witch. Really… I was so surprised at first? You must keep this to yourself?”
“I know I shouldn’t say it because of the nature of the matter, but… I’ve never been so surprised in my life… yes, yes, I understand. I’ll tell you, so please keep it a secret.”

The parents, who had been hesitant due to the strict embargo imposed by their daughters, eventually cautiously shared the shocking ‘secret’ with only their close acquaintances.

Here’s the summary.

Shin Siwoo was in a romantic relationship with the Way-Seeking Witch.
When he was captured by Hexennacht, he succeeded in his rescue with the help of the Way-Seeking Witch, and in the process, they sparked a passionate forbidden love.

However, the love between Dorothy, an enemy of the state, and Shin Siwoo, a disciple of the Pink Peacock, could not continue, and in the end, Dorothy remained alone in the mortal realm, continuing her long penance.

“Tsk tsk, if it’s a forbidden love, you should make sure not to get caught by others.”
“I know, no matter how you sugarcoat it, enemies of the state are still enemies of the state. He was trying to save that enemy of the state.”

Then one day, as everyone knows, the Golden Flower Witch manipulated the Lehar Group to attack the location point in order to solidify her power base, and in the process, Dorothy died.

“I, I saw it. Shin Siwoo came out of the location point morgue after confirming Dorothy’s remains, and his expression and atmosphere were like…”
“I almost made a mistake if he wasn’t a spirit.”

As many witnesses said, Shin Siwoo, who had lost his beloved lover, went mad with revenge.

He embarked on a truly reckless war to punish the enemies who had sentenced his lover to death and to retrieve Dorothy with the ‘lotus.’

A crazy war of Shin Siwoo and two others against the Lehar Group & Solidus Merchant Group.

“Was that really the reason?!”
“That freaking romantic!”

He did not give up, experiencing several near-death experiences and minor and major injuries.

He used all sorts of strategies and abilities, and with the help of perfect timing, he succeeded in defeating Herja and Lydia.

Finally, after finishing everything, he kissed his beloved lover.
The moment a tear fell on Dorothy’s cheek, the lotus worked a miracle and brought her back to life.

“Well, I heard it from a close friend… actually, this is how it happened…”
“Huh? I heard that from my friend too.”
“A, actually, me too…”

Around the time this ‘story that should never be told to anyone’ became a secret known to most of the Gehenna witches.

“…Hey, are you crying?”
“…Don’t be ridiculous. Do you think I’d cry this much?”
“Sniff.”

The Gehenna witches’ thoughts had also changed a little.

In Dorothy’s case.
Even if there were circumstances, an enemy of the state is still an enemy of the state…

“That’s good. It’s true she’s an enemy of the state… but if she had attacked Hexennacht, she would have been a real traitor.”
“That’s right. Besides, after joining the location point, she made great achievements in blocking the gates, right?”

She became a pitiful victim, the heroine of an epic romance saga who achieved love after a long journey.

In Shin Siwoo’s case.
No matter the circumstances, he went from just a horny guy to…

“Shin Siwoo. He’s just a horny guy after all.”

A crazy, macho man who risked his life and destroyed everything to save his lover, and finally brought her back to life.
A guy who created a harem but deserved it.
A crazy bastard who would turn the world into an enemy to protect his people.

“But he’s a honorable witch who deserves respect.”

As a count of Gehenna who will rewrite history.
