City Of Witches 345

Chapter 345 – #75_Pride and Prejudice (4)

#343

One.
Closing of business.

“Thank you so much for your hard work! Brother Siwoo!”
“I owe you!”
“Yes, you guys suffered a lot too.”

As of today, Siwoo’s host bar publicity agency, which has been a long one, has come to an end.
In addition to having a small party, Shiu, who was drinking with the members of Rose Glass, had a time alone with Takasho.

“Siwoo, my spiritual and physical brother! You’ve worked hard all this time!”
“So, did you secure some regulars?”
“Of course! If this continues, it will soon be possible to not only turn a profit, but also open a second store. Of course, I don’t intend to do that. If you try to be full on the first drink, your stomach will burst.”

Word of mouth among witches seems scary.
With the help of Periwinkle, they improved the service and when Siwoo pulled a lot of aggro in front of them, they said that all reservations for 3 months were already filled.
Even though the male witch is no longer there.

Takasho got up from his seat and shook hands with Shiu with a smile.
As soon as he took his hand, he wrapped his arms around his shoulders, hugged him, and patted his back.

“I don’t know how many times I say it, but it’s all thanks to you. Therefore….”

Takasho took the watch off his wrist and handed it to Shiu.
Even at a glance, without mentioning the brand, it was a luxurious symbol of success.

“Okay, put it down. What are you giving me?”
“It’s not much compared to how you helped me, but please accept it.”
“Because it’s done.”
“Accept! Friend!”

Takasho forcibly puts the watch on Shiu’s wrist as if he were almost passing it off.
He grabs his shoulders again and smiles, showing bright dry teeth.

“Tell me if something difficult happens in the future. I will help you somehow, even risking my life.”
“Yes, thank you very much. Let’s have a drink or something.”

It felt like I was filming a scene from a youth movie, so I felt itchy for no reason.
Anyway, this was an hour away.

“Ah, the Periwinkle witch told me about a new alcohol dealer. I think I will go out to the present world sooner or later.”
“What? Mundane? Can you send it?”

Gehenna is a city for witches.
For the unique atmosphere and stability of conservative witches, interaction with the present world is absolutely limited.
For example, it is in the same context that smugglers who supply supplies to and from this world and Gehenna can never escape Border Town.
But what about the present?

“I also got a temporary pass issued by Count Adonai. It was a direct supply contract with a smuggler from the Adonai Company, so I thought it would be more comfortable for me to go there myself. I’m going to Europe, so I can’t visit my hometown. This is the life of a successful businessman.”
“Take care of yourself and go. Don’t run away for nothing.”
“If I run away, what about the store?”

-Smart

The door opened with a knock as they shared a drink and giggled.
It was Paul, whom I had become quite familiar with.

“Takasho-niisama, the witch has come.”
“This time? Where are you?”
“I’m next to you now.”

Before Paul could say anything, his green hair was scattered.
Even though it’s not that tall, it’s a great proportion that makes you mistaken for tall.
A cold impression like a stray cat and cold mint eyes that reinforce that image.
It was Sharon Evergreen, who had a medium that was difficult to hold with one hand.
Sharon, in a pretty dress, bowed her head to Takasho, pressing her breasts.

“Hello, I’ve heard a lot about Siwoo. Sharon Evergreen.”
“Sharon, what are you doing here?”
“I came because I was curious because he is your best friend. When I came before, I couldn’t even see your face.”

On the other hand, Takasho, who was startled by surprise, soon skillfully welcomed Sharon.
He got up from her seat, bowed her head respectfully, and was greeted by her.

“Hello, I’ve heard a lot about you too. I was a bit jealous of how Siwoo boasted about how pretty his girlfriend was. Hey, seeing this in person, I just want to kill it.”
“Girl friend?”

Sharon’s ears perked up at the word ‘girlfriend’ and moved.
She smiled pleasantly and then sat down casually.

“I’m not talking about anything weird, so can I join?”
“Oops, that’s troubling. We were talking about something strange for a while.”
“Hey, what were you talking about?”
“Siwoo asked for advice on where would be a good wedding venue and how many children would be good.”
“Yes? Really?”

With Takasho’s lead, the three-person drinking party was completed naturally.

2.

“That’s why Siwoo caught the stag.”
“Siwoo, is it real?”
“Oh, it was. But should we continue talking about this?”
“Dude, can’t you see Evergreen-nim is having fun?”

The unwillingly exposed past.
Sharon, who had fallen in love with Takasho’s exciting jokes, clung to Siwoo’s side with a happy expression on her face.

“I knew right then. ‘Ah, this bastard is a real asshole’ Usually, even if you don’t like something, you bend over if you think the situation isn’t right, right?
This friend has nothing like that. If she doesn’t like it, she’s being fucked by old dads. I have a grin. A man among men.”

I can understand Takasho’s kindness to save his prestige, but it’s embarrassing to see such a trend from earlier.

“Can’t you just do that? Thank you for helping me….”
“Why~ I’m having fun. I wanted to hear what Mr. Takasho said.”
“Miss Evergreen, you don’t have to say Mr. Takasho. Please lower your words. Takasho is good.”
“Is that so? Then you can speak comfortably. If you’re Siwoo’s friend, you’re also a friend to me.”
“How can I? Come on, get another drink.”

As the conversation flows in a friendly flow, two or three hours have already passed.
Snacks and ramen were scattered on the table in the office, where only alcohol was placed.

“Anyway, it was an honor to have a drink together after listening to the story. Sharon.”
“I think it was even better when I saw it in person after hearing about it from Siwoo. I hear about old things like this and that.”
“There are also a lot of lies mixed in, so listen carefully.”

If Takasho’s gold lacquer materialized, it would have turned into a gold-coated Buddha statue by now.
I am very grateful for the willingness to preserve her prestige in front of her girlfriend, but it was too much.

“Anyway, I had fun today too. I’m sorry for taking up too much of your time, so shall we get up soon?”
“Yes! Let’s play together again next time.”
“Yep! See you next time!”

After greeting Takasho, Siu and Sharon went to the Malkut Gallery side by side.
It had rained all night, so the night air was full of moisture.
As the calendar turned over, it was chilly that it must be winter.

Sharon crossed her arms beside her and walked in step with Siu.
A soft cushion intervened and gave me quite a sense of happiness.

“Long time no see. Taking a walk with Siu.”
“Yeah, I think I did it almost every day in the past.”
“Because Siwoo is busy. Nothing special.”
“Sorry. I will make more time in the future.”

Come to think of it, it’s been a long time since I’ve spent time alone like this.
After working at the host bar, I didn’t have much time, and even after returning to Gehenna, I was mostly with the twins.

Suddenly, I saw Sharon’s side face.
Her high nose and thin lips.
It’s like she’s a fairy in a dream, looking only forward as to what she’s thinking.
She gently hugs her waist, smiles like it tickles her, lifts her up, and meets her eyes.

“Siwoo.”
“Why?”
“You, Odile and Odette… Did you?”

It felt as if her real legs were going limp.
Of course, she intended to speak with me sooner or later.
Just as she had said she would never separate or distance herself from her twin, she was going to tell Sharon about her relationship so far.

But in this way, it was very uncomfortable for her to suddenly confess.
There must be a difference in nuance between speaking first and being interrogated.

A step that suddenly stopped.
It was clear that Sharon’s eyes, which were staring up at her, were shaking.

“Yeah, sorry. I didn’t mean to hide it. She was about to speak….”
“No no! I didn’t mean to upset you. I just want to make sure it’s true.”

Sharon avoided her gaze.
She had no idea how trashy she would look.

Laying hands on an apprentice witch is a taboo among taboos.
It is also taboo to have both of her twin sisters in bed.
Keeping it a secret and sleeping with another woman is taboo.
It was clear that it was difficult for her to speak first since she had achieved the taboo triple axel.
However….

“Sharon, will you listen to me?”
“Can I speak first?”

What is this strange atmosphere?
Even though there is a cool tension, somehow Sharon’s reaction is calm.
But is that serenity a disillusionment, skepticism, or languidness born of contempt, or what?
It was difficult to get it right.

“Siwoo is really important to me. The most important thing in my life It’s far more important than magic. I can tell you.”

Sharon met her eyes straight again.

“You are sleeping with someone else. I’m upset and jealous that you’re showing others the expressions you used to show only to me.”
“… Sharon.”

Sharon’s lips moved closer.
She tugged at Siu’s collar and kissed her on the lips.
When I removed her face again, Sharon was smiling like a flower.

“Still, I want Siwoo to be happy. I hate it when you notice and do things because of me.”
“I was also trying to get it right. By the way….”
“Ah, no need to talk. I told you. I hate that you look at me Oh, I hate this serious atmosphere. I tried following the drama, but I can’t handle it.”

Sharon shakes her hand like it was all a pun, unfolds her arms and goes ahead.

“Yes?”

For some reason, he was holding her hand tightly.
Sharon looked back in shock.

“So do I.”
“What, what?”
“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you first. You are very important to me too.”

Sharon’s face widens as she blankly looks at her Siu.
I thought that if I could have everything in the world, I would be able to make a face like that.

“Yes! I knew.”

Late night.
There are no passers-by.
All the shops lined up on the street are also closed, leaving only the two of them in the crowded gallery during the day.
Holding Sharon’s slender wrist, the two’s lips become closer again.

A little bit deeper and deeper.
And on the tip of Sharon’s tongue, which she hadn’t tasted in a long time, there was a bitter taste of Skadi.
Sharon also doesn’t refuse and holds her Siwoo’s waist tightly.
After her kiss, Sharon looked up at Siwoo with excited eyes at the object pressing her lower belly.

They are two people who have already had many experiences together.
You could tell what they were thinking just by looking into each other’s eyes.

“Really? Here? What are you going to do if someone sees it?”
“I can’t wait until I go home… West…. If it’s an alley over there… Will no one come?”

Siwoo has a coordinate movement formula.
Sharon knows that too.
However, making such a proposal….

“Well, what a thrilling relationship… I’ve also heard that it makes you stronger. If you don’t like Siwoo, I won’t force you….”

So if you were able to refuse….
It is said that that night in the alley of the Malkut Gallery, the melancholy cries of a cat were heard.
