Chapter 52 – #13_Latifundium (1)
#51
1.
It was an unusually refreshing morning.
Despite having fallen asleep late last night and being exhausted from spending some alone time in the bathroom, my body jolted awake the moment it was time to get up.
Perhaps it was thanks to the fluffy pajamas.
Siwoo chose comfortable work clothes suitable for hiking.
After getting breakfast from the academy kitchen and putting it in Amelia’s room, he half-heartedly ate a sandwich and rushed out to the garden.
Mount Youngsan!
Just the thought of setting foot in Gehenna’s tourist attraction, which he had so longed to visit, made him want to dance.
A magnificent Geminai carriage, the same one that had kidnapped Siwoo before, was parked at the front gate of the residence.
As he was about to get in, he hesitated a little.
He felt somewhat embarrassed to face Odile, whom he had thought about while masturbating yesterday, and he was also a bit nervous about being with Odette, with whom he hadn’t had a proper conversation since that day.
“Time will sort it out.”
Odette was surprisingly easygoing, so she wouldn’t hold it against him for long, and Odile was a given.
Didn’t she come looking for Siwoo again just yesterday?
Believing this, Siwoo bravely opened the carriage door.
The large and luxurious interior of the carriage welcomed him once again.
“You’re punctual, Assistant.”
“Ah, hello… hello…”
“Thank you for coming to greet me.”
“We invited you, so what’s there to thank?”
Odile smiled brightly and waved her hand, while Odette clung to her arm, hiding her face.
When he saw characters in dramas or comics making such gestures, he thought it was unrealistic, but here he was seeing it in real life.
Moreover, they looked so natural together that Siwoo felt a bit awkward.
Unlike Odile, who greeted him comfortably, he couldn’t easily talk to Odette.
“Odette! Don’t be shy, say hello! We have to be together all day today!”
“But! How can you be so nonchalant, Unnie?”
“An adult buries the past night’s events on that very night.”
Odette, stomping her feet and blushing, eventually hid in a room inside the carriage.
Siwoo asked worriedly.
“Is she going to be okay?”
“Leave her be, Assistant. She’ll get over it.”
Siwoo also felt his face flush when he remembered Odette’s appearance after taking the potion.
Saying things like she masturbated thinking of him, wanted to have his baby, and would receive his seed in her ovaries countless times.
She had made such bold statements that were unimaginable for the timid Odette.
Even the person who heard those words was in this state, so there was no way the speaker would be okay.
Actually, he thought that Odile’s recovery ability was abnormally high.
Just looking at her now, it didn’t seem like the previous night’s unspeakable R-rated happenings had occurred.
Or perhaps her curiosity had overcome her embarrassment.
In this regard, Odile seemed more mature than Siwoo.
“It’ll take about an hour to get to Mount Youngsan. Would you like something to drink in the meantime?”
“Yes, please. Are we moving now?”
“We’ve been moving since a while ago.”
“I don’t feel any vibrations at all.”
“It’s worth the price.”
Siwoo, who was now quite comfortable with the twins, naturally followed Odile to the mini-bar.
This carriage was like a private jet.
Not even the slightest vibration was transmitted inside, and it was equipped with all sorts of amenities.
Odile leaned into the mini-bar and struggled to pull out a large basket.
“Since we’re going on a picnic, Galina insisted on giving us this.”
It was clearly a picnic basket.
It looked like it was full of club sandwiches and a thermos of tea.
“Let’s just take out the orange juice here first.”
“Okay.”
“Odette! Aren’t you going to have some?”
Odile spoke loudly, but there was no reply from Odette’s room.
Odile clicked her tongue.
The sound and manner were awkward, as if she was imitating someone.
“This won’t do. Assistant, go and soothe her. If you tell her not to worry and that it’s okay, she’ll forget about it soon.”
“Please give me a cup of juice. I’ll talk to her.”
Odile sent only Siwoo, saying that if she went too, Odette would stubbornly resist and it would backfire.
Siwoo was a little surprised at her surprisingly mature response.
-Knock knock
“I’m coming in.”
After knocking, he opened the door with a click, and heard thumping and rustling sounds.
“Ugh…..”
The only light source was a single candle, so it was very dark, but the room was so small that it wasn’t difficult to find Odette.
“Ms. Odette.”
Odile also buried her face when she was embarrassed.
Was this something they shared as twins?
Odette was wedged between two large sofas, only showing her back.
She was desperately rejecting Siwoo’s presence.
“A… Assistant… please go out… I want to be alone….”
“I brought orange juice. I just tasted it, and it’s very refreshing.”
Siwoo calmly patted Odette’s shoulder.
“It’s okay. As Ms. Odile said, I don’t think about what happened. Weren’t you out of your mind at the time, Ms. Odette?”
A tremor, as if she was hesitating whether to leave or not, spread throughout her small back.
A muffled voice came from between the sofas.
“But… it’s so embarrassing… and I know that I could have caused great harm to the Assistant…”
“You really don’t have to worry about it.”
He smiled kindly, though she couldn’t see it.
Honestly, what had made Siwoo anxious was that Odette’s intense sexual advances could have cost him his life, not Odette’s actions themselves.
Strictly speaking, aside from the fact that he was in mortal danger, wasn’t it a reward?
Odette cautiously turned her head.
Seeing her in the dark, he momentarily confused her with Odile because they looked so alike.
However, the pitiful expression with tears welling up in her large eyes was something only Odette could make.
“Really?”
“Of course, you just shouldn’t make that mistake again.”
“Will you forgive me for… doing it alone… while thinking of you, Assistant?”
Siwoo was momentarily speechless.
Whether it was Odette or Odile, they sometimes had glitches in their common sense.
There was no need to bring up that day’s filth here.
“I knew it! I knew it… How can I face you, Assistant, after doing such a thing!”
Siwoo’s hesitation was clearly written all over his face.
Odette wailed even more sorrowfully, burrowing deeper and deeper into the sofa cushions.
This is awkward.
I can’t exactly say, ‘It’s okay. I also thought about your sister yesterday and took two steps back.’
“You think I’m a lewd and unrestrained girl, don’t you?”
How should one react when someone who has been playing with other people’s junk says something like that?
I didn’t know she would be this embarrassed.
Was she categorizing curiosity driven by exploration and sexual curiosity?
Maybe Odette had her own dividing line.
“Of course not. Today is a picnic, after all? We should have fun together.”
At Siwoo’s gentle coaxing, Odette slowly emerged from the sofa.
This is kind of fun.
“Here you go.”
“Thank you.”
Finally free from the sofa, Odette wiped away her jewel-like tears with her sleeve and accepted the cup Siwoo offered.
“Um, is it okay if I talk about other things here too?”
Odette asked demurely, holding the cup in front of her chest.
Siwoo readily nodded.
“Of course.”
After a moment’s hesitation, Odette spoke frankly.
“Actually… it wasn’t just once.”
“Huh?”
“The thing I did while thinking of you… I did it twice more after that day.”
Siwoo couldn’t understand Odette’s words for a moment.
So, what?
Masturbated?
“Um… Odette, it’s okay with me, so you don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to.”
Actually, I don’t even know why she’s telling me this.
But Odette’s thoughts seemed to be different from Siwoo’s.
Like a Catholic making a final confession, she began to reveal everything honestly.
“Actually… I felt guilty… Even though it was for my own pleasure, and even though you’re my slave, I still did it alone while thinking of you without asking for your permission.”
“I understood, and I meant it’s okay, so you don’t have to mention it.”
It seemed Odette was feeling guilty not only about that day but also about other things.
Actually, Siwoo didn’t care about any of that, and his only wish was to end this awkward, off-topic conversation quickly.
“Really?”
“Yes.”
“Really, really, really?”
“Yes, I think it’s all natural.”
“Then, have you ever… touched yourself while thinking of me after that day?”
“……..”
The conversation had become even more bizarre, and my mind was spinning.
Before I could even hesitate about what the best answer would be, Odette came to her own conclusion.
“See, you haven’t… It’s because Odette is a bad girl, a weird girl…”
Odette looked dejected and started to sob.
No, if you feel so guilty, why don’t you just not do it?
Or just do it secretly without saying anything.
She was a girl whose head was even more of a flower garden than her sister’s, and I couldn’t keep up with her thinking.
It felt like looking at an innocent princess from a fairy tale.
“Odette, don’t worry too much. Isn’t it okay as long as I’m okay? There’s no victim here, right?”
“……..”
“If you’ve just learned about… um, masturbation, it’s understandable. I’m the only man around you, and it’s not like you had bad intentions towards me, right?”
What was Jemernai, the twins’ teacher, doing that I had to take on this sex education?
I understand that he’s overprotective of his apprentice witch, who’s like a child to him, but I wish he would at least teach her some basic common sense in the future.
Of course, I would never have the guts or the nerve to say this to his face.
“You don’t have to blame yourself so much. Curiosity about the opposite sex and sex is natural. There’s no need to be ashamed.”
“Even though it’s a shameful act?”
“Someday, when you have someone you love, you’ll naturally understand. So, let’s go out now.”
Odette nodded her head like a well-behaved hamster.
A dimple of relief was etched into her healthy cheek, which was flushed with a rosy hue.
“Um, Assistant.”
“Yes, Odette.”
“Then, is it okay if I think of you often in the future?”
It sounded romantic at first, but the implication was, ‘I’m going to use you as a side dish in the future.’
Siwoo’s face, which had been smiling at Odette’s naive appearance, froze.
“Y-yes, of course.”
“So, you’ve forgiven my mistake, and you’re allowing me to think of you in the future, right?”
Odette summarized the situation, folding her fingers one by one.
In some ways, Odette was an even more difficult opponent than Amelia.
“But you don’t have to tell me about it in the future. I’ve already given you permission once, so it’s okay anytime.”
Anyway, the situation was settled for now.
Once was enough for this embarrassing conversation.
Siwoo, having succeeded in appeasing Odette, led her out of the room, and Odile started teasing her as soon as she saw her.
She must have heard the whole conversation.
Odette’s face turned red, and she ran away from Odile, who kept teasing her.
The carriage was filled with cheerful commotion until they arrived at the gorge at the entrance of Yeongsan.
