Chapter 465 – #99_joined Hands
#464
One.
Siwoo greets Master and chases after Amelia.
It was as obvious as reading the palm of her hand where Amelia was heading with that expression on her face.
It is Amelia’s cage, a cabin in the Cypress Forest.
If she used coordinate locomotion, she could get to the cabin in one fell swoop, but she didn’t.
Anyway, from the Malkut Gallery to the oyster tree forest, there are only silver grass grown in the wide plain as a field, and a crooked trail running through it.
Rather, it was because there was a concern that using her magic would be mixed up for nothing, and more than anything, even if he met Amelia, he was in a very awkward state because he did not know what to say to her.
“Who am I to blame?”
Odile Odette, Sharon, Master.
They are all precious ties and lovers to the point that it is impossible to choose one.
Even if you felt sorry for the four people, it was absurd to harbor regrets.
Like Takasho, she was good at dealing with women’s feelings. If she had this or that technique, wouldn’t she have handled the relationship much more gently?
Of course, there is no guarantee that the relationship will be the same as it is now, but looking at this pitiful behavior, it is natural to think that way.
At that time, she was walking with a deep sigh.
In the distance, I saw a golden silhouette running at breakneck speed.
A twilight field where starlight replaces streetlights.
It runs through the silver grass.
At first I was just perplexed.
That figure must be Amelia.
It’s just that Siwoo has never seen her run so fast.
Did any feat appear in the forest?
If Amelia’s achievement was at the level of escaping, Siwoo wouldn’t even be an opponent.
While contemplating whether to open her eyes and use her magic at such an absurd thought, Amelia, who was running through the field like the wind, stopped 20 steps ahead.
There were traces of tears that could not be wiped from her eyes and cheeks.
A mouth that doesn’t fall into inexplicable guilt.
But the moment her gaze lands on Amelia’s entire face, she senses something has changed.
He understood why Amelia ran away after seeing Eloah.
What kind of feelings she might have had, why she ran away.
She just thought that that’s why she cried.
She thought only that she was sad.
“Siw.”
But it’s different.
The stubborn expressionless expression that used to hide his true feelings like a mask has collapsed.
The weakness and stumbling that seemed like it would collapse at the slightest touch were gone, as if they had been swept away by tears.
Instead, what you see is a sparkle that is brighter than the starlight on the ground and an honest smile.
Amelia slowly approached Siu.
Amelia’s coveted blonde hair swayed in the wind that swayed through her pampas grass.
What was the change of heart?
Amelia hugged the confused Siwoo.
I listen to her heartbeat as I hold her with such force that it takes her breath away.
“I’m sorry for being an idiot.”
Hearing Amelia’s softer voice, Siwoo was able to relax her shoulders a bit.
She cautiously lifts her hand and places it on her head.
“You are stupid. I didn’t behave properly.”
After embracing Siu for a long time, Amelia quietly let go of him, and she stopped there and looked up at her Siu.
“Siwoo, I have a favor.”
“Tell me anything.”
“Will you slap me on the cheek?”
“… Yes?”
It was a very unexpected request.
To the extent that I heard, of course, ‘Would you like me to slap you on the cheek?’.
Well, considering the context, it made more sense that way.
But to ask me to slap you on the cheek while looking at you very romantically with wet eyes.
Amelia still has an elusive corner.
“All right.”
Siu held out his face.
Amelia tilted her head as she breathed in Siwoo’s face as she approached, only then realizing that he had misunderstood.
One of the words Master left.
‘If you meet someone whose heart beats, hug them as hard as you can,’ she just successfully performed.
Then, the two words you left behind.
‘If there is something wrong, slap me hard and kiss me’ is left.
However, in this case, Siu did nothing wrong.
Therefore, the order in which Amelia gets slapped and Siu kisses remains.
In order to love each other more passionately at this moment so that we do not leave each other with regrets.
Amelia found her own answers to her long-pending troubles.
About Master’s heart and about his relationship with Siu.
Such an excited mind, a lot of intense emotions, and immature self-expression were added to it, resulting in a somewhat absurd conclusion.
“Siw, no. Siwoo should slap me on the cheek.”
“Yes? Me?”
“Yes.”
Siwoo looked at Amelia with eyes that were startled and even more incomprehensible.
Do you want me to punch you in the face?
Siwoo, who doesn’t know the background, can’t understand everything from one to ten.
But just because he doesn’t understand doesn’t mean he can’t even answer.
“I can’t.”
“Why… ?”
I don’t even know why, no, even if I know the reason, I’ll hit you on the face.
That’s not good
To Siwoo, Amelia grabbed her hand and pleaded once again.
“I want you to slap me and kiss me.”
“…….”
“May I ask?”
Siwoo looked at Amelia with a confused expression.
Amelia’s request itself was not because she was shy, but rather because she didn’t want to hit her.
However, I wonder if there must be a backstory that I don’t know about asking so earnestly.
“Is it just once?”
“Yes.”
Amelia shows no signs of breaking her will.
She sighed and raised her hand, and Amelia gently closed her eyes, like a death row prisoner awaiting her execution.
It was so serious that it looked like an idiot, so I laughed at what all this was all about.
-Widely
“Here you go.”
As if putting her hand on Amelia’s cheek, Siwoo made her wish come true.
Amelia’s eyes widen at the touch of her touch, which is much closer to stroking than hitting.
“Why did you suddenly ask for this…. I don’t know, but there’s no way I can hit you.”
“…….”
Amelia’s eyes suddenly turned into tears.
The embarrassment and surprise of not knowing that this would happen are all over the face.
Siu held her soft cheek and tilted her head.
I really don’t feel like hitting you, and even if I don’t like it, I want to give it to you as long as it’s a kiss.
It was such a heart.
2.
It was a good atmosphere, but Amelia and Siu’s perfume tycoon was not over.
The two went through the cleaning and deodorization process and returned to the studio where the distiller was ready to be restarted.
In the meantime, countless various flower branches and fresh fruit, which had been additionally delivered, were piled up in the warehouse and welcomed Siu and Amelia.
In fact, it seemed that they were planning to extract everything except for the animal spices.
“Hmm….”
While sorting the flowers so that they do not mix, Siwoo peeked at Amelia, who was diligently inspecting the still.
Amelia didn’t tell her what had happened at the cabin.
One thing is certain, however, that she has changed.
It’s a face that doesn’t show any emotion like usual, but it’s strangely full of energy and vitality.
It was more than surprising that she was bewildered by her appearance, which seemed much more relaxed than when they had been on the trip together.
So, when Amelia came over after checking her machine, she smiled and said, “It’s New Years soon.” She came to say something like that.
In two days it’s the new year.
It was a very eventful year for Siwoo.
Recovering from a vegetative state, returning to the present world, meeting Sharon, meeting Master, commotion in Xochitl, part-time job at Takasho’s host bar.
This and that happening with the Yesod family, the rescue of Takasho and the subjugation of Bianca, and a strange night with Deneb Zemanai.
Amelia’s rampage and arrest, and dramatic reconciliation.
It must have been a life so dense that even if you put other lives you have lived in a still and extract it, you wouldn’t come out with this much melted liquid.
Of course, as the end of the year approached, the emotions were bound to be different.
“Do you have any plans for Siwoo?”
“Not yet.”
In fact, both the twins and Sharon would want to spend the New Year with Siu….
It was embarrassing to tell that to Amelia, who had just run away in tears.
“Really?”
“Well, I don’t have anything specific.”
After hearing Siu’s answer, Amelia tells her unexpected words.
“I can do extraction by myself. Siwoo spends time with his lovers.”
She was startled, as she hadn’t expected Amelia to say such a thing.
Amelia, who had been hurt by Elroa a little while ago, and Amelia, who was reluctant to talk about Siu Hansako’s lover, said that first.
“I want you to spend precious time with Siwoo’s precious people. I don’t have to worry about it.”
Forcibly squeezing out what you don’t want to do.
Amelia was as usual and she looked very calm.
But she’s a fool if she responds with a brusque, ‘Good!’
She doesn’t even feel that way at all.
“Amelia-sama is also a precious person.”
Personally, I don’t think this type of dialogue suits him at all.
I still wanted to do it.
“…….”
After arranging the jasmine flowers that were about to collapse because they were too piled up, Amelia stared at Siu.
Then she answered with a small smile, narrowing her eyes.
“I know, because Siwoo is also a precious person to me.”
Amelia was at a loss for words at her beautiful smile, to the point of feeling that Amelia could make such an expression.
Siu tried to keep his composure while answering.
“So you don’t have to worry. The time I spend with Amelia is also important to me.”
“Thank you for saying that.”
After the short conversation, it was the time of labor that came back.
Jasmine, alang alang, lavender, dandelion, orange blossom, blackcurrant, iris, nutmeg, black pepper, vanilla, sarubia, etc.
It remained to extract an enormous amount of material.
