Chapter 132 – #29_Cleanup(2)
#130
One.
Why is Count Gemanai here?
Odile must have said that since the Count was out of the world, he would be out of touch for about a month.
Isn’t it a situation where a girlfriend goes on a trip to her parents and asks her to come and play because her house is empty, and while doing all sorts of things to have fun, she suddenly encounters her parents who have returned.
Of course, I’ve never had such a terrible experience, so it’s a metaphor…
I didn’t even have time to ask Odile what had happened.
“Odile, come here.”
Count Gemanai’s gaze turned to Odile.
It’s a soft voice, but it has a different weight than usual.
Even Siwoo could vividly feel the rebuke and scolding contained in it.
“Master, I will explain all of this.”
“I will listen to the explanation later. Welcome, Odile.”
Odile looked at Siu with a sorry look in his eyes and then hesitantly went into the living room.
Unknowingly depressed, Siwoo follows Odile into the living room.
Deneb, whose hair was as white as snow, lightly grabbed Odile’s wrist.
Deneb, who held Odile’s wrist for a long time as if examining something, let out a sigh of relief.
Since the apprentice witch, who suddenly notified her of her overnight stay, went out late at night with a man, and returned only around dawn, it was natural to check whether the ‘vessel’ was damaged or not.
Fortunately, Deneb, who figured out that there was nothing wrong, sighed! And she slapped Odile with honey balm.
“Ah!”
“Who wants to stay out all night without permission! Do you know how much I struggled to find you guys?”
“I’m sorry… But my assistant woke up… I just can’t wait to go back…”
“Listen, Odile, this is not going to be taken lightly. It’s late now, so go up and sleep. Let’s talk again tomorrow.”
Was it a mistake to firmly believe that the Count was out of the world?
While Siu was confused, Albireo spoke to him as well.
“Shin Si-woo, please stay here.”
“Master, let me explain. The assistant is not wrong! I seduced you to take a walk at night first, then I seduced you to sleep at the villa!”
Deneb was the one who cut Odile’s urgent defense like a knife.
“Odile, go upstairs because we will talk to you directly.”
“However….”
“Go up.”
Odile is intimidated by Deneb’s spirit with his twin heart raised.
Is this how it feels to see the situation in real time when the lawyer who will explain Siwoo’s situation was kicked out of the courtroom?
Isn’t this a real fucking thing? The thought continued endlessly like a revolving song.
“Odile, I hope you don’t upset me more.”
Hearing Albireo’s cool voice, Odil couldn’t be stubborn.
It was the first time I had ever seen Master so angry.
“I’m going up, I’m going up, Master. Promise me one instead.”
“Is this when you say that?”
“I have to!”
After screaming, Odile steadfastly prepared the last safety device for Siwoo.
“If Master messes with Assistant, I will never see Master’s face again. Never!”
“This guy really is!”
Deneb is trying to feed Odile one more chestnut to Odile, who speaks boldly when his wish is not enough.
Albireo, who was sitting in her seat and drinking her cass, dissuades her.
“Deneb, it’s okay.”
“Sister! Look at this crazy guy’s mannerisms! Who’s wrong now! Besides, what is this attire? Oh my gosh! Did you go out wearing only your underwear and a cape?”
“Because it’s Deneb.”
Albireo waved his hand roughly and met Odile’s eyes.
Odile widened his eyes and tried not to avert his gaze.
Even as she herself, she was aware that she had made a mistake first, but the safety of Siwoo was more important than being scolded by her stern teacher.
“Odile, I swear I won’t hurt Shin Si-woo. Are you done now?”
Odile closed her mouth and nodded slowly.
“It’s too late, so go up and sleep. It’s because I have something to talk about with him.”
“Yes… I’m sorry for stepping out on my own…”
As soon as Siwoo’s safety was secured, Odile nodded and apologized to Siwoo, saying “I’m sorry, assistant” To Siu with his mouth and went upstairs.
Yes.
Odile’s situation may have ended, but for Siwoo, it was just the beginning.
“Shall we sit down and talk for a while?”
Albireo stretched out his hand and offered Shiu, who was standing awkwardly, on the sofa across from him.
2.
A cushion of thorns There is no need for such clichés anymore.
This is a land mine cushion.
Although he accepted the promise not to hurt him, it would be very easy for Count Jemonai to screw Siwoo, who has no backing, if he puts his mind to it.
The conversation began as Deneb, who had been scolding Odile, sat down on the sofa.
“I’m glad you felt better before the main topic.”
“I’m sorry I couldn’t see you sooner. It’s just polite.”
Unlike Albireo, who seemingly politely greeted him, Deneb’s words were full of thorns.
A sharp purple gaze seems to pierce his chest.
“Deneb.”
“Okay, I won’t do it anymore. Sorry. Siwoo Shin.”
“No, it’s fine.”
Whoa, whoa, Count Deneb took a deep breath.
Contrary to the very gentle and quiet first impression, it was quite emotional.
Considering that it was none other than the work of an apprentice witch, it would be so.
Siu came to his senses.
His fate may change depending on how he speaks from now on.
“There is something I want to ask you. I hope you will answer without lying to what I am about to say.”
“….Yes.”
“What were you doing out with Odile at this time?”
I was speechless from the first question.
He was told not to lie, but he wasn’t sure if he was telling the truth.
Did you make fun of Odile’s back hole in front of the count, who was like his parents?
In addition, if you dig and dig, the fact that Odette has been opened will also be revealed.
Do you really want to say this?
I’d rather bite my tongue
“I took a walk at night.”
“Only that?”
“A kiss… Yes, a kiss. Sorry.”
Deneb looked up at the sky as if he was dizzy and put the back of his hand on his forehead, while Albireo gazed at Siu with calm eyes.
Siwoo prayed, ‘Please ask me this far, please ask me this far,’ while sitting in a straight posture with his knees together.
As if his fervent prayer had worked, Albireo gently closed his eyes and changed the subject.
“It’s nothing to be sorry about. It is only natural that the hearts of a man and a woman who are old enough go back and forth, and Shin Si-woo already has a lot of favor with us twins.”
“More than a kiss? Didn’t you do anything else weird?”
“Deneb, if you’re going to keep interrupting me, go out for a while and cool off.”
There was an additional interrogation by Deneb, which chilled his spine in an instant, but was stopped thanks to Albireo.
“Odile’s bowl is fine, and apart from anything else, Shin Si-woo is the benefactor of the Jemanai family. I cannot rebuke him for his rash actions.”
“I know, I know, I know. Whoa… Whoa… I can’t. Give me a drink too.”
Deneb took the beer bottle and gulped down.
Even the count, who values etiquette, seems to lose his mind halfway when the twins get caught.
Siwoo was sincerely grateful that Count Jemonai was a twin.
If only Deneb had been there, a catastrophe would have happened even if a disaster had occurred.
“Sorry. I was emotional.”
“Oh, no. If I had been in the same situation, I would have. Raise your head.”
After bowing his head and apologizing for a moment, Deneb seemed to regain his sanity.
I’m really glad.
“First of all, I have to say thank you. You saved our twins not once but twice with your bravery and resourcefulness.”
“I will pay my respects to those who do not spare their lives, stand up to injustice, and do the right thing, regardless of social status.”
“I should have greeted you right away, but as you know, Shin Si-woo was in a state of collapse all the time.”
“It’s late, but I’d like to take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks.”
The count bowed his head side by side, and Siu waved his hands like the last time and was embarrassed.
It’s not something to be thanked for.
I just prayed that his body moved on its own when that situation came into being.
“No, I did it because I felt I had to do it.”
The pressure of bowing his head to Count Jemonai, not anyone else, the embarrassment of being praised right away, and the anxiety of not knowing how things might go wrong here become a well-mixed salad that confuses Si-woo.
Albireo, who finished his dignified thanks, asks first.
“Has your body fully recovered?”
“Yes, fortunately…”
“Baron Marigold must have been very pleased. Day and night, I was sitting next to Shin Si-woo.”
“……..”
As soon as the name Marigold was mentioned, Siwoo’s face hardened.
The present Siwoo is not yet calm enough to maintain his composure upon hearing his name.
With the help of Odile, it felt like the confusion I had barely forgotten was revived.
“Male Marigold tried very hard to save Siwoo. He even summoned a healing witch, and he took care of me to the point where I became humbled when I saw him…”
As much as Amelia knows that she has a crush on Siu, Deneb secretly informs her of her hard work.
It was Amelia’s desperate struggle that saved his life, so he said it lightly, thinking that there would be some progress between the two.
However, seeing Siwoo’s expression frown, he realized that something was wrong and stopped him.
Siwoo also made a hasty expression, but it was after an awkward air flow had already formed.
Albireo skillfully changed his words.
“…Anyway, I’m going to talk about compensation. A reward that is enough for Siwoo to understand.”
Siwoo felt a tingling sensation in his stomach and closed his eyes.
Amelia, Amelia, Amelia.
Let’s not think about it now.
It is a law to stretch your feet while looking for a place to lie down.
Isn’t Count Gemanai the only companion who will make his escape from Gehenna?
He didn’t have to show ugliness.
“I have never changed my mind. I want to go back to this world.”
Will leave here
If you go back and live calmly, you will forget all the troublesome things.
As long as I had hoped for that for five years, there was nothing that changed my mind.
Returning to the present world was the only buoy in life that Siwoo, who was in extreme confusion, could set as a firm goal.
“Hmm…”
“I’m asking out of old age… Have you heard from the baron what will happen if you go out to this world?”
“Yes?”
What will happen if you go out to this world?
Are you saying witches will look after you now that you have a man who can handle magic?
Furthermore, it seems that there is a ‘stigma’ now, so I might have to be a little more careful.
But it was an acceptable problem.
There is also a music box given to him by Odile, and most of all, only a few people know that Siwoo has a stigma, so if he hides it carefully.
“We have no intention of persuading Siwoo otherwise or preventing him from going to the present world.”
“Shin Si-woo is a rare case enough to make quite a few witches salivate, but more important than that is repaying the favor.”
“Yes, thank you for saying that.”
“But… I think a little explanation is needed about what will happen when Shin Si-woo returns to the present world. If you agree with us after hearing what we have to say, we will respect that decision.”
The atmosphere suddenly turns serious.
I’m a little perplexed.
I thought it was over when I left, but it wasn’t?
“Take off the blindfold.”
“Yes?”
To the confused Siwoo, I point Albireo at my left eye and say.
“Because it’s definitely something to do.”
Is it really the right choice to show your eyes here?
Siwoo believes in twins.
Although a bit immature and flirtatious, Odile and Odette, who are innocent, are confident that they will never betray him.
So what about Earl Gemanai?
Is it okay to trust him simply because he is the twins’ teacher?
“Never speak out or leak it carelessly. I promise you in the name of Zemonai.”
After hesitating for a moment, Siu removed the blindfold.
When he opens his closed eyes, brilliant golden eyes are revealed.
Albireo recognized it as soon as he saw it.
“As expected, it’s branded.”
“Oh my gosh…”
Siwoo’s body became younger as if he had turned back time.
In addition, even the minor flaws were perfectly corrected, but Albireo guessed that when he saw him wearing an eyepatch all the time.
Deneb was covering his gaping mouth with his hand as if he hadn’t guessed.
“That’s right. Is this a problem?”
“It’s not right away, but there are enough concerns that it will turn into an embarrassing problem.”
“I will listen.”
In front of Siwoo, who listened carefully to discuss his future life plan, Count Jemani continued his explanation.
