City ​​of Witches 405

Chapter 405 – #87_Oversight(4)

#404

1.
Count Yesod, who had previously mingled bodies with Shin Siwoo, the first male witch of Gehenna, realized that when he ejaculated, he emitted a unique magical wave along with a surge of magic power.

Siwoo needed to investigate why this was happening in his body, and
Yesod needed to satisfy her magical curiosity as a witch.

Therefore, they agreed and had sexual relations, recording the results in a crystal that measured and recorded magical actions and magical waves.
Analyzing it, Count Yesod was able to discover an astonishing fact.

“This is…”

Shin Siwoo’s ejaculation mechanism goes through five main stages.

Ejaculation – Magic Penetration – Magic Recovery – Amplification – Return.

This process does not involve Siwoo’s thoughts, as if an autonomous defense is activated, so it is likely connected to instinct or the subconscious.

This in itself is mysterious and amazing, and it may sound a bit cold, but it is ‘useful.’

Generally, for a witch to store magic power in a brand, she must go through a complicated self-magnetization process.
If there is a high-purity, pure, top-tier magic power, the time can be shortened considerably, but it still takes time.

On the other hand, his magic power charging completely overturns such conventional wisdom.
Perfectly pure magic power that does not need to be filtered in self-magnetization.
It was so pure that it would not harm even the vessel of a sensitive and delicate apprentice witch.

This has significant implications.
If one can withstand the overload and fatigue on the magic circuit, and the inevitable mental exhaustion that comes with calculating magic, one can use the absurd cheat of fully charging magic power repeatedly.

“Amazing…”

However, the record that Count Yesod read from the crystal surpassed even that.
While injecting magic power, he was adding fragments of magnetic magic that existed in the brand, like a mold.

It was chilling.

Whether it was due to the characteristics of the magnetic magic he possessed, or whether it was caused by the unique characteristic of being a ‘male witch,’ it could not be confirmed because there were no samples for comparison.

However, one thing flashed through Count Yesod’s mind.

Could this be a new method of ‘inheritance’ that breaks the existing mold?

While her heart was pounding with excitement at the amazing discovery,

The remote crystal ball buzzed.
Normally, she would have been annoyed by anyone who interrupted her when faced with the possibility of such a grand discovery, but now was an exception.

“Oh my? Siwoo-ssi has woken up?”

Shin Siwoo, her lover who had fought against the witch of desire a few days ago and even saved a friend, yet was not seriously injured.
It was news that he had risen from his sickbed.

2.
Albiereo, who happened to run into Count Yesod, had a slightly dazed expression.
Count Yesod was walking down the hallway almost running, even in her high heels.

She was the one who had asked to be notified when Siwoo woke up, and she had contacted her through the crystal ball a little while ago, so it wasn’t strange that she was here.
In the first place, Count Yesod had visited Siwoo twice during the three days he was lying down.

In fact, it was suspicious that Count Yesod, who was merely in the position of a tutor’s mother and temporary teacher, was interested in Siwoo.
However, she hadn’t worried too much.
She wouldn’t deny that she had a strong feeling of ‘No way….’

However, when Albiereo saw that Count Yesod was holding a bouquet of red roses that must have been at least 100, she felt that something was going wrong.

Flowers?
And roses?
And about 100 of them?
The fragmented clues were slowly coming together.

Even at this point, Albiereo did not let go of the thought, ‘Even so….’

“It’s been a while, Count.”
“Indeed.”
“Do you happen to know where Siwoo-ssi is? I went to his room, but he wasn’t there.”
“He’s probably in one of the three eastern reception rooms…”
“Thank you, I’m in a hurry, so I’ll excuse myself.”

Normally, even if they had met by chance, they would have had a light conversation.
Count Albiereo was the owner of this mansion, and Yesod was just a guest.

However, Yesod only finished with a simple greeting and passed by Albiereo with the bouquet in her arms.
There was only one case when the rather orthodox Count Yesod showed such a screw-loose appearance.

When it was related to her apprentice witch, Diana.
But was the current situation related to Diana?

“Yesod, is that rose a gift from Diana?”

Knowing it was an impolite thing to do, Albiereo couldn’t resist her curiosity and asked.

“What do you mean?”
“For example, if that bouquet was a gift you received from Diana on the way, or if Diana gave the flowers to Siwoo-ssi on your behalf…”

Looking at Albiereo, who was tilting her head, Count Yesod also understood what she was saying.
She had been debating whether to tell the truth or not, but she couldn’t hide it now that she had come this far.
There was no particular reason to hide it either.

“Haa… I wanted to keep it a secret because it’s a bit embarrassing… but I can’t help it in front of Albiereo’s keen eyes.”
“Yes?”

Seeing Count Yesod blushing and feeling shy like a girl in love for the first time, an echo of ‘No way, no way, no way’ resounded in Albiereo’s head.

“I’ve recently found a new happiness. I’m so glad he’s back safe.”
“……”

Albiereo was momentarily speechless.

“New… happiness?”
“Yes, somehow I’ve come to have a deep relationship with him… I never imagined I’d be spending such sweet days with so little time left until the inheritance.”

It was the meeting of the prospective mother-in-law and the lover of her son-in-law.
Albiereo was so dumbfounded that she forgot what to say.

After the twins, after Sharon, even Count Yesod?
She couldn’t believe how much further he would reach.

“Could you tell me more about it?”

Her eyes turned cold.
As if she hadn’t noticed it at all, Count Yesod vaguely revealed her relationship with Siwoo as if she was showing off a secret boast.

“If it’s a deep relationship between a man and a woman, what else could it be?”
“Ah…”

Even so, Count Yesod blushed shyly.
Although Albiereo had never been in a relationship with a man or a woman, even she could sense the signs.

It was dizzying.
While feeling confused, Albiereo asked.

“Who proposed the relationship first?”
“Is that important?”

At that point, Count Yesod also seemed to feel puzzled.
Then, with a sly old man-like expression, she joked with Albiereo.

“Oh, perhaps Albiereo, you also have your eyes on him? Haha, don’t worry too much. I don’t have any possessiveness. He and I are just having fun together.”
“Yesod, tell me.”

Albiereo, who had no intention of playing along with Count Yesod’s skit, sighed inwardly.

“I did seduce him first. We kept doing it because our interests aligned for various reasons.”

Not only did he take away the cute twins that she wouldn’t hurt even if she put them in her eyes, but he also had his foot in with Sharon and Count Yesod.
Could there be another playboy in history who has seduced so many witches?
It didn’t matter whether the Count proposed it first or not.

“By the way, I didn’t know you would take notice of him. In my memory, you are…”
“Let’s drop it.”

Albiereo, who had given up on trying to explain where to start, decided to guide Count Yesod to Siwoo since they had met anyway.
She also wanted to give her playboy son-in-law a disapproving look.

As such, Albiereo, who had abandoned her dignity, walked down the L-shaped hallway with the excited Yesod when she suddenly stopped.
The window of the reception room across the way.
Siwoo could be seen through the gap in the curtains.

It wasn’t just Siwoo.
It was Shin Siwoo, sitting on the sofa and sharing a deep kiss with Duke Tiferet.

“Ugh!”

Albiereo, who had narrowed her eyes at the unbelievable scene and looked out the window, let out a strange shriek of shock without realizing it.

There was no mistake.
Who else could it be but Duke Tiferet, with her pink hair that was visible at a glance even from a distance?

She couldn’t believe that Duke Tiferet was included in this already troublesome mess.

Albiereo froze with a dumbfounded expression.
Until now, she had been trying to push the twins in somehow.
However, Duke Tiferet was an exceptional powerhouse.

Even though she had almost no remaining assets, the reputation and respect she commanded were incomparable to those of ordinary witches.
It goes without saying that her unique and attractive appearance was also a factor.

“Haa…”

Where should she start fixing this?
No, was this something that could be solved by trying to fix it?

“Is something the matter?”

Count Yesod, who had tilted her head at Albiereo, who had suddenly stopped and let out an undignified shriek, also saw the same scene.

“Hick…!”

At the same time, Count Yesod’s complexion also turned pale along with her shriek.

She had heard that Siwoo already had a lover.
But she never imagined that it would be Eloa Tiferet.

For the countess who was enjoying a light flirtation, it was an unexpected appearance of the main wife.

If they were to simply compare their influence and capital within Gehenna, the Yesod family was far ahead of the penniless Duke Tiferet…
However, Yesod absolutely did not want to see Tiferet standing in front of her with a face full of anger.

“……”
“……”

The two counts stood side by side and watched Siwoo and Eloa kiss and separate.
They each had complex feelings.
