City Of Witches 404

Chapter 404 – #87_Overlooked (3)

#403

One.
Eloah Tiphareth.
In fact, even before Siwoo regained his memory, he used to feel a strange sense of incongruity.

Like before, she didn’t show up in light clothes, mainly in pajamas.
Or that she doesn’t suggest the late-night masterpieces she enjoys almost every day….
For the most part, the context was the same in that Eloah avoided Siu, which was odd.

In retrospect, even the slightest sign that she thought it would not be a big deal had already laid a foreshadowing.
All of that was a line drawn from Eloa’s determination to resist even the slightest hint of temptation.

Siu could confirm it in the memory palace.

Eloah fell in love with Siwoo as a man.
And Eloah, who loves Siwoo as her disciple.

What kind of guilt did she feel after mingling with Siu, and what decision did she make?

Of course, Siu doesn’t have a clear view of priesthood as much as Duke Tiphareth.
Wasn’t there a lot of stories about the romance between a teacher and a pupil back in the days when the world was a little less tight?
Therefore, it is difficult to fully understand how much guilt and responsibility she must have felt.

It’s just erasing the memory of sharing love with someone you love.
For example, we can understand in detail what kind of serious decision and self-sacrifice it is to erase the memory of Sharon or her twin to become a very stranger.

“Master, I’ve been….”

Prior to such a problem, Siwoo, who had an intuition that he would be severely reprimanded just by looking at it, awkwardly greeted him.

“Duke Tiphareth… Oh….”

Albireo, who was about to greet the Duke with a smile, covered his mouth in surprise.

-Match!

As soon as she found Siu, Elroa approached her quickly and slapped Siu on the cheek.
She didn’t hurt that much, it stung.
And she immediately hugs Siu tightly.

“I…. I have an appointment for a social gathering….”

Watching the priest’s passionate reunion, Albireo quietly got up and left the office.

“S-Master…. I’m a bit short of breath….”
“Be still.”

Eloa dressed in combat uniform as if she had just returned from the present world.
With her cherry blossom-colored hair tied back, Elroa hugged Siu tightly as if she would never let go.
If Siu was a teddy bear, he would have cotton sticking out.

While Siu headed for the limbs alone with no place to turn, Elroa was barely able to play with one photo. She wandered around Hong Kong for days and she chased Ea.

She was busy chewing on the emotions she thought she had forgotten: anger and revenge.

As a result, Deneb and Sharon, who realized the abnormal situation, rescued Shiu from the sea, who was almost dead, and did not realize that his lovely disciple was in such danger until he recovered to some extent.

Same mistake again.
She almost lost another beloved pupil.
Eloah hugged Siu, who was one head taller than her own, with all her might.

Contrary to her body’s inaction, her slender body like a water bird trembled.
Her softly started crying suddenly moved her shoulders, and Elroa repeatedly left tear marks on her Siu’s collar.

“Sorry, yes….”
“No, I brought it all on myself….”
“I’m sorry….”

It is important to avenge Raffy’s enemies.
If Ea were alive, Elroa would not hesitate to hold Sura’s sword again.
However, Siwoo is here now.

There is Shin Si-woo, a beloved disciple of Eloa Tiphareth.

2.
Eloa and Siu calmed down a little and went out to the garden.

Coniferous trees covered with snow that fell in the middle of the night.
The two priests took a walk together for the first time in a long time, riding the tip of a pointed leaf and tapping the icicle hanging like a light bulb.

In the garden, where the traces of winter were evident now, Siu heard Eloa explain why she couldn’t come to help right away.
Apparently, that vicious Bianca used Ea as bait to keep her master away.
And it was a topic that had a corner in common with the topic Siwoo was trying to bring up.

“Master, I have something to tell you.”
“Tell me anything.”

In the Memory Palace, Siu was able to understand Eloa’s love.
But now, in a way, there was a fact that was more important than that.

Ea Sadalmelik, who killed the apprentice witch of Eloa.
The truth is that she, who was robbed of her magic by Siu, is still alive.

“Before I regain consciousness this time, I looked into my memory.”

As soon as the word ‘memory’ came out, Elroa’s shoulders trembled.
Eloah, who had been stepping on her lightly covered eyes with her hands behind her back, stood tall in her place.

“Memory… Second?”

Eloa’s gaze, quietly looking up at Siwoo, was not the usual solemn and benevolent gaze.

Worried about
Expecting.
She is disappointed in herself for having such expectations.
Silently swallowing the feelings of hot love.
Moist magenta eyes.
It overlaps with her image in my memory.

She must have always been looking at me with this kind of eyes in places where she couldn’t be seen.

“Ea Sadalmelik may be alive.”

And it didn’t take long for that expression to change.
However, he did not feel more intense anger than Siwoo had expected.

“Can you tell me why you think so?”

On the contrary, he listened to Siwoo’s report with calm and calm eyes and just nodded his head.
I was a little worried that there would be a reaction close to passion, but I was a little surprised because it was so fine.

“Know… Were you there?”
“I guessed that it might be.”

Eloa, who stretched out her tail like her sigh, nodded her head as if she knew first.

It was amazing.
Compared to the beginning, the atmosphere was much more gentle and gentle, but Siu remembered the way he inserted the bread roll into his liver with a fierce expression distorted by anger.

“Why do you look like that?”
“More than I thought, um….”
“I’m with you, who was about to get into trouble right away. Will revenge be a big deal right now?”

Elroa smiled and passed it over, but even Siura could tell that her eyes were deeper than usual.
Because Siwoo was in danger and came back right away, he didn’t make a fuss, but his heart must be complicated.

In fact, she also tried to convey that if she met her master today, her sealed memories would come to her.
She said she remembered her memories of making love to her, and that she also remembered her confession.

To be honest, I have an idea of ​​what to do.
There are already twins and Sharon by Siwoo’s side.

Not only that, but she tends to be promiscuous with this or that woman.
Does that mean it’s right to leave her alone with her heartache?

“Master, my body is getting cold. Shall we go in?”
“I see.”
“I’ll have a drink after a long time.”
“It’s just as good as it gets.”

However, it is difficult to speak out in this atmosphere that has become serious.
Now, I was thinking of exchanging drinks while warming my frozen feet in front of the fireplace.
Eloa hesitantly asked.

“Siw.”
“Yes.”
“Do you have any other memories that come to mind?”

Elroa seemed to regret bringing up her words.
She might think it’s because she’s holding on to useless lingering feelings.

“… Master, let’s go in first and talk.”
“…….”

That alone might have been enough of an answer for her.
Should I be happy, should I be sad, or any emotion in between.
Seeing Elroa’s expression as she was getting messed up, she looked more pitiful because she guessed that she had been through a lot.

Elroa’s face turned pink, like the color of her hair.

3.
Returning to the drawing room in an awkward atmosphere where not a single word can be exchanged.
Siwoo poured alcohol into Eloa’s glass, who was sitting in front of the fireplace.
From the gestures of her hand wriggling the blanket on her lap, the perplexity she wants to hide at any moment is palpable.

“It’s embarrassing, but can I speak first?”
“Sure.”

Siu, who was sitting across from him at an angle, slowly melted his frozen feet into the fireplace.

“First of all, I’m sorry. Even though I said I would definitely take responsibility for you, as if you were running away…. Erasing memory. It was irresponsible.”

Eloah’s words came out like he had thought a lot while walking here.
But her face isn’t like that at all.
Not only did it become so red that you could feel the heat even without touching her hand, but her hand, which had been pinching the blanket for a while, was constantly moving.

“I just ask for your understanding. As I said before…. I’m longing for you However, with the body of a teacher, I couldn’t make you, a disciple, commit immorality.”

Eloa’s gestures stopped.
The back of the hand showing veins under the white skin.
Drop by drop, tears fell on it.

“Can you forgive me?”

Understanding?
Can’t
Actually, I don’t even know why I should forgive in the first place.

How much Eloah cares for and cares for Siu is revealed even in her small glance.
There are countless things that have been received without payment so far.

Siwoo stood up from his seat.

“Master.”

Actually, I don’t know if I deserve this.
Even so, Siu, who hesitated for a moment, opened her arms and gently hugged Elroa.
As if his small, soft body was being thrown into Siwoo’s arms.

“… I’m a bad teacher….”

Elloa’s voice was engulfed in silence.
Siu carefully wrapped his hands around the small back of her head.

“It’s not enough to flirt with a disciple, I erased my memory because I was afraid of being responsible….”

Her usual solemn appearance is gone, and Elroa keeps digging into Siwoo’s arms like a spoiled child.

“To be able to feel remorselessly happy just because you hugged me….”
“No, I should have noticed earlier….”

No one started first.
Perhaps the intuition of now came to them at the same time, but the two naturally moved at the same time.

As they hugged each other, Elroa’s lips carefully overlapped Siu’s.
The smell of her breath that I haven’t smelled in a long time.
A fruity scent like picking up a ripe peach and smelling it.

It matched her habits in memory.
Even the hand that carefully reached out and tightly gripped her collar.
The lips lightly biting Siwoo’s lower lip.
Even the long eyelashes that trembled from nervousness.

All the same.

When he felt the tip of Siwoo’s tongue stretched out between his soft lips.
Elroa, startled as if she had suddenly come to her senses, tried to pull her body back.
But.

“Huum…. Chuuup….”

Siwoo’s arm firmly restrained Elroa.
Then she boldly pressed her lips together and stuck her tongue out.
Eloah trembled her body like a deer shot with her tranquilizer gun, but she soon accepted the kiss with her pupil, which she longed for and longed for.

This time it wasn’t because she sniffed her body odor.
It wasn’t because of the effects of the strange potion.
It was just because Siu wanted to do this.

After a while.

The two of them’ mouths fell with a slight quickening of breathing.
Eloah’s gaze looking at Siwoo shaking.
Siwoo faces her without avoiding her eyes.

“Master.”
“…….”
“I’m OK. Rather, I was happy to have this kind of relationship with Master.”

To her, who is not sure whether to be happy or sad at Siwoo’s words.
To her, who would have had to cut out half of her memories and suffer alone.

“I’m also a bit lacking…. Also, to be honest, I don’t know what to say, but relationships with women are complicated.”
“…….”
“But just as Master thinks of me, I also value Master.”

Siwoo has no words.
He didn’t mean to make it easy to understand.
Even if he’s a little shameless, he’s just telling the honest truth.

“So, please stay with me and don’t run away this time.”
“…….”
“I will take my own responsibility.”

Eloah was dazed, and she froze.
As if he had been cursed with petrification, his face, which had been staring at Siuman, dissipated like ripples.
Elroa covered her face with her hands and bowed her head.

“Master?”
“I’m sorry….”

Eloah’s response to Siwoo’s words was an apology.
After all, was this not enough to change her view of priesthood?
Around the time when I was slightly discouraged.

“Too… Glad…. What expression should I make…. I don’t even know what face you’re making….”

Elroa’s smile can be seen through the gap between her hands.
She holds back her tears, but a smile that seems blissful.

That smile was the most beautiful of Eloa’s expressions that Siwoo had seen.
