City Of Witches 291

Chapter 291 – #64_Twins and Sharon (4)

#289
One.
Countess Lucy Yesod is the second richest woman in Gehenna.

It is because he is making money targeting wealthy witches by operating a luxurious bathhouse, which is a collection of all kinds of entertainment facilities, convenience facilities, and accommodations in the boring Gehenna, which is somewhat lacking in entertainment.

Is that all?
Based on the enormous wealth accumulated in this way, he is expanding his business to the present and promoting the business of planning and constructing various theme parks worldwide.
It was not strange that he would meet often with the Earl of Zemani, who was likewise interested in mundane business.

“This seems like a reasonable compromise.”
“They say that witches talk well with each other? Why are noblemen who play numbers in this world so suspicious?”
“Sure, even if the direction is different, you pursue the same path, right? We witches.”

Albireo neatly arranged the copy of the contract lying on his desk and put it in an envelope.
It was a document containing a collaboration agreement between the two county families regarding a large-scale theme park to be built in Hong Kong from the end of next year.

Of course, the two witches do not directly discuss the details of the business.
If the guidelines related to the business are delivered, the two companies will properly coordinate and proceed without departing from the agreement.
So, strictly speaking, what the two witches discussed was related to Gehenna, not to this world.

There are rumors that have been heard for some time.
It is information from an unknown source that Duke Keter no longer engages in or moves in the affairs of this world.
In fact, this itself was a nonsense heard every time it faded in a 50-year cycle.
Keter calmed the gossip by condemning the witch who tried to confirm the rumor every time.

However, recent events are different.
The cowardly witch made an uproar, but the duke did not move.
The indiscriminate business expansion of several exploits and the turmoil of the exiles have already been caught.

In line with this, he tried to promote a project that had been delayed to correct the situation in the confused witch society.
It was to establish a Location Point that doubles as a theme park on Lantau Island, Hong Kong, where the Communist Party had relatively little intervention, avoiding the influence of the Chinese Communist Party, which opposed the establishment of Location Point.

That is why those who carry the honor of being ‘nobility’ must bear the responsibility.
History has proven that when chaos comes to this world, it will soon affect Gehenna.

“For the Prosperity and Glory of Jemani.”
“For Yesod’s transcendence and sublimation.”

The two counts ended their discussion by expressing respect for each other’s families and surnames, and toasted lightly with their glasses.
Smiles appeared on the lips of the two counts, probably because they satisfactorily packed their own things.
After the business talk, Albireo looked down at the terrace and said.

“By the way, it’s still the same. Miss Diana.”
“You know when you see it.”

The place where the meeting took place was a private villa in the large public bath of Levana.
Among them, there is a terrace overlooking the wide outdoor bath.
Looking down, I saw an apprentice witch floating in the grass in the shape of a large crescent moon.

Like her teacher, Countess Yesod, her gray hair is tied up and she is wearing her bikini.
It is a picture of her sunbed with her tube attached floating on the water, holding a book in one hand and a bottle of wine next to her, enjoying the taste to the fullest.

“Ha….”

Wrinkles appeared on the forehead of the orphan Count Yesod.
Beautiful appearance and high title of count.
A count of the 22nd rank who has shown high research achievements enough to be recognized by the society.
Countess ‘Lucy Yesod’, who has achieved all the movies that she can achieve as a witch and is about to inherit, had the greatest worry…
It was none other than her apprentice witch, Diana Yesod.

“Sometimes I envy you to death.”

Countess Yesod let out a sigh and expressed her sincere feelings without adding or subtracting from her.

“I heard that twins listen to Master very well… Why is Diana so upset….”
“If you went to a picnic with the twins for a day, you would know that there are difficulties of its own. I often wish that Odile and Odette were as quiet as Miss Diana.”

Albireo responded to the grumble with a wry smile.
Even now, after more than 10 years of being together, I feel like my spirits are getting faster when I’m with the twins…
Will the decent Count Yesod be able to respond?

“I’d rather mess around and be noisy. Still, if you’re talking about Master, you’re going to die. I want to know who that guy looks like… “

Diana was an outstanding talent among her apprentice witches.
She was born with witch blood and stood out among the apprentice witches with her unusual head rotation.
It is not an exaggeration to say that she completed all her preparations three years ago by shortening her deadline for succession.

“What are the twins doing now?”
“Around this time, you should be listening to the Evergreen Witch’s special lecture on elements.”
“Look, you do everything you ask. Would you like to see that guy? I’ve been doing that since this morning. It’s not even a day or two. Will my stomach explode? I won’t explode.”

However, Diana, who was smart, intelligent, and even pretty, had the biggest problem.
Count Yesod was also said to be a rare slacker with both hands and feet.

“At least, since I’m by your side, you can even pretend to do it, but what will happen if I don’t… “

Lucy bit her thumb nail.

“I can’t. I need to give myself a hard blow today. Would you like to go with me?”
“Me?”
“Yes, even if I tell you, it won’t work, so can you help me?”
“If that’s enough….”

Lucy jumped up and went down to the pool accompanied by Albireo, who had a confused expression on her face.

Diana is reading while floating on the water, leisurely, whether or not her teacher comes.
Lucy caught her breath and she cried out in a stern, dignified voice.

“Daughter!”
“… !”

Startled by the sudden roar, Diana dropped the book into the pool.
Looking to the side of her, I see the figures of the Master and Count Jemyrnai, who are wearing menacing expressions.
Diana raised her body and greeted Albireo.

“Hi, sorry. I didn’t know you were here because I was in the midst of reading.”
“No. Be at ease.”

They look like they are a year or two older than their twins.
Gray hair tied up to keep it from getting wet.
Unlike her dark hair color, her scarlet eyes shining like topaz are truly beautiful befitting the dignity of a witch.
Diana, who exquisitely blended the opposite feelings of her decadence and neatness, had a languid voice that was the exact opposite of her prickly aura.

“Why are you doing that all of a sudden?”
“Today, I was going to stay idle forever, but I couldn’t do it, so I came here!”
“By the way, did you finish studying today?”

Despite Lucy’s reprimand for her barbed hair, Diana remains unconcerned.

“Who is studying? After mom finishes studying, she goes out and makes friends! Take a walk too! You said so!”
“My friend is annoying….”
“Do you know who the person here is?”
“Of course, you are Count Albireo Zemonai.”
“Okay! The count’s daughters also ride horses! Learn to play an instrument! Also hunting! We also do book clubs! You say you study hard, but why are you like this? !”

Diana intuited that she was not in a situation where she could simply end with words, and rose slightly.
She naturally released her magic power and walked back and forth on her water and stood upright.

“Do not worry. I can take care of myself now. Would you like to see what we studied today?”
“… Give it to me!”

Diana took out a book of juseom juseom problems from her bag near the pool.
Lucy flips through the paper and checks its contents.
Diana took a sneaking look at her and added her explanation.
In fact, she was closer to a special move that always worked rather than an explanation.

“Today, I analyzed the thesis my mother wrote in the past in my own way. She, of course, she didn’t understand all of it, but she was such a beautiful law.”
“…….”
“I felt the magical utility as well as the outstanding aesthetic value in the mysterious balance of the force fields woven like arabesques and the combination of subtle logic.”
“…….”
“After reading such a high-level article, I couldn’t get my hands on the rest of the study. So I floated on the water and contemplated all day long.”
“…….”

– Palak Palak

Lucy confirmed Diana’s thesis analysis until the end.
Diana stretched out her arms and cradled her like a baby bird burrowing into her mother’s arms.

“Mom I really respect you. I really want to be like her mother and become a wonderful witch.”
“…….”

Even to Albireo, who was watching from behind, he was a flatterer who could clearly see his insides.
Instead, it made her face glow.
Diana whispers like a little devil in Lucy’s ear, who is still stiff.

“I will eat dinner tonight and go for a walk. 30 minutes or more. Sure.”

– Guggit!
Lucy’s hand, holding the paper Diana submitted, becomes stronger.

She’s really pissed off
Albireo guessed.

If the twins had an accident and were going to get away with it that way, Albireo was willing to have them write a 10-page apology.

“… My daughter… !”
“What?”

However, things went the exact opposite way.

“I don’t know who he resembles so smart! Well, the thesis I published at that time caused a sensation at the Truth and Truth Conference! How was this part? The influence and control of the force field that distorts the concept of reality! This part!”
“Uh… I didn’t quite understand that part, but I’ll definitely look at it again tomorrow.”
“Yes, yes, yes. Ugh! The nose is pretty, the eyes are pretty, and even the lips are so cute! Mom is proud of our Diana!”
“Yes, I am the most proud of my mother in the world.”

Lucy opened his arms wide and hugged Diana tightly.
Albireo watched with his mouth half-open at the passionate reunion of the two mothers and daughters who could only be seen as sisters.
It was because she was dumbfounded, even though she knew that she was chubby.

“Yes, come here. I’m sorry for bothering you…. I guess my mother was too impatient.”
“No, Mom. She did it all because she loved me.”
“Mom loves my daughter the most in the world….”
“I love you too mom.”

Albireo saw the corner of Diana’s mouth curl up meanly as she was still in Lucy’s arms.
Although Diana, noticing her gaze, quickly erased her.
Let’s pretend she didn’t see it.

Yes.
Why Lucy Yesod couldn’t change Diana’s bad habits at all.
She was second only to Gehenna, and at the same time a sadly rich woman, and at the same time an enormous fool.

“My wonderful daughter. Is there anything you want to eat today? Mom will buy it for you.”
“I want to eat the cookies you bought in Border Town before.”
“Doritos?”
“Yes, that.”
“My daughter wants to eat, but mom has to go. She’ll be on her way to Border Town in no time! Have a good rest!”
“Yes, with nacho cheese flavor.”
“Okay! I get it!”

Diana, who calmly and weakly sets her taste, and Lucy, who walks lightly and heads toward the portal.
Looking at her back, she forgot to say hello properly and walked away.

If that’s enough, it’s not like a daughter’s fool, but a daughter’s height seems to be a more appropriate expression….
Albireo thought secretly.
