Chapter 603 – #122_Back To Normal Life (3)
#603
1.
After dinner, everyone gathered to chat about what had happened and played poker.
With alcohol involved, the lively atmosphere was much more peaceful than Siwoo had expected.
In other words, Siwoo and Luelle didn’t receive any complaints and things flowed smoothly.
This was probably because Luelle had an irresistible personality.
If she were just arrogant, it might have been different, but she was also kind-hearted and, above all, had a clumsy side that made everyone chuckle.
For example, when she got a good hand in poker, her face would light up, and conversely, when she bluffed with a bad hand, she would look as serious as a prophet who had foreseen the end of the world.
Luelle quickly became close with the twins.
Siwoo had worried that Luelle, who was full of pride, might not fit in, but it was an unnecessary concern.
It was as if they were a perfect match, or as if Jemena was actually triplets, they got along so well.
And so, it was already 1 AM.
Luelle, who had a habit of drinking heavily and passing out when she was in a good mood, was, as expected, chugging bottles at a rapid pace.
“Koo-oo-oom. Koo-oo-oom.”
Thanks to that, she was snoring with a unique sound, completely drunk and passed out on one corner of the sofa.
She had traveled a long way today and had an incredible experience, so it was no wonder that she was exhausted.
“Shall we start cleaning up?”
Siwoo was about to take her to the bedroom because he couldn’t leave her like that.
Just in time, Count Albireo entered.
“My darlings, it’s time for bed.”
“Already?”
“You shouldn’t stay up too late. You have classes tomorrow.”
“Yes, Master.”
The twins, rubbing their sleepy eyes and yawning, got up obediently.
Siwoo had expected a reaction like, ‘It’s been a while since we saw our assistant, so we’re going to stay up all night!’ so it was a bit unexpected.
“Good night, Assistant.”
“We’re going to bed first. Good night.”
“Yes, Odile. Yes, Odette. Good night, everyone.”
Their violet eyes sparkled as they looked at each other.
In fact, Odile and Odette had a plan.
The reunion event with their assistant was not over yet.
Everyone here was probably waiting for a ‘sweet and spicy 19+ event’ with their assistant.
And Odile and Odette, being apprentice witches, were in a position where they couldn’t openly share a relationship like other couples.
There was no point in making a fuss here, saying, ‘We have to do it with our assistant!’ because they would just be dragged to their bedrooms.
In other words, they planned to pretend to go to bed like good children and then sneak into their assistant’s room.
“Oh my, our twins are so well-behaved.”
“Of course, Master.”
“When have we ever disobeyed you, Master?”
Albireo smiled and placed his hands on the twins’ heads.
“That’s right, my darlings, let’s sleep together with Master today.”
“Huh?”
“What?”
It was obvious what the twins were planning.
They would probably go to their room, grab the music box, jump out the window, and sneak into Shin Siwoo’s bedroom.
It was already a spy-erotic movie in the making.
Of course, they had verified through Deneb that sex in that direction would not affect the mark, but even so, the twins were still apprentice witches.
He knew they were going to do something naughty, and they might make a mistake as a result of being excited about the reunion.
Even Albireo, who was more lenient than Deneb, was not so permissive as to leave the twins in danger without taking any action.
At least until the excitement of the reunion subsided, they would be isolated.
“N-no, it’s okay! We can really sleep alone!”
“That’s right! Besides, my sister has terrible sleeping habits!”
“Yeah! Odette snores like an elephant!”
“If Master is next to us, we’ll definitely wake him up!”
Odile and Odette jumped up and down, trying to avoid the situation, as their plan had gone down the drain.
They would never be able to sneak out if their master was next to them.
Even if they succeeded in sneaking out, the excuses they would have to make to cover it up were a problem.
“It’s okay. Don’t you think you were like that when you were little? Come on, let’s go.”
““Hmph….””
The twins, who had realized that the lottery ticket they had won a long time ago had expired, were being escorted away with slumped shoulders.
No matter how cunning the twins were, they were still in Albireo’s palm.
2.
As soon as Siwoo left to carry Luelle to bed, a subtle tension filled the room that had been a playground.
Sharon, Amelia, and Eloa gathered together without anyone saying a word.
It was as if they all knew what each other wanted without having to say it.
After all, it had been a whole season since their reunion.
They had eaten together, drank together, and played poker, but the most important event was still left.
The event of taking the spot next to Siwoo’s bed tonight.
“……”
“……”
“……”
But no one could bring themselves to speak first.
Isn’t it common for close friends to have trouble talking about racy things?
Even though they had built up a friendship during the search process, it was a somewhat embarrassing topic to bring up.
It wasn’t like the time when they were arguing about who did what, with their heads heated up.
It seemed like there would be no progress until Siwoo returned, so Sharon had no choice but to break the ice first.
“What are you all doing tonight?”
It was a question like an arirang ball, not a direct one.
They would understand even if she said it like this.
“I don’t have any other plans.”
“Me neither. I’ll be busy from tomorrow, but I’m free tonight. What about you, Sharon?”
As expected, Eloa and Amelia were playing coy.
Sharon, looking around, took another step forward.
“Ah, I have plans. I’m going to drink some more with Siwoo… If you two are free, how about having a chat?”
Amelia’s eyes finally lit up.
When she only heard the first part, she thought it was an opportunity, but when she interpreted Sharon’s following words, it was like, ‘You two should give way~’
“That’s going to be difficult. Actually, I was planning to drink with Siwoo too. Sharon, you have classes tomorrow… How about preparing for that?”
“No, Amelia. I’ve already finished preparing for class. Amelia, you haven’t been to the perfume workshop for a while, have you? Are you ready for business?”
On the surface, it was a nice scene of them worrying about each other’s tomorrow.
But Eloa felt a clash of spiritual pressure that distorted space and time between the two.
It was understandable that Sharon, who was always bickering with the twins, was like that, but surprisingly, even the gentle Amelia was actively fighting when it came to Siwoo.
“……”
But Eloa had never actively asserted herself in the council.
Sharon and the twins or Amelia were just ordinary lovers, but Eloa was Siwoo’s teacher and lover.
According to Eloa’s strict moral standards, she had already committed the immorality of a teacher-student relationship, so she was hesitant to actively express her opinion.
“If that’s the case… how about we divide the time?”
That was the best she could do, proposing a compromise.
“That seems like it won’t be enough… How about you two give way this time?”
“I would like to give way to Sharon and Eloa, but… I have something I need to say to Siwoo today.”
Leaving the slightly adrift Eloa behind, Amelia and Sharon continued their passionate debate.
The heat was accelerating within their polite words.
“Sigh, this isn’t going to end like this.”
“We have to finish this before Siwoo comes back… Shall we try talking in a different direction?”
Amelia and Sharon decided to take a step back, as they had a history of ending up in emotional fights after discussing things in a similar way.
“Then how about we let Siwoo choose?”
Another suggestion from Eloa.
“Knowing Siwoo’s personality… that’s probably never going to work?”
Sharon, recalling the immediately troubled Siwoo, nodded in agreement with Amelia.
He was a beast on the bed, but he was endlessly indecisive outside of it.
No one wanted to give way, and no one wanted to be left behind in this situation.
After much deliberation, Sharon opened her mouth.
“Since it’s come to this… shall we prepare an event together?”
In this deadlock where there was no answer, Sharon’s words immediately drew the attention of the other two.
“An event? What is that?”
“I saw on Google a while ago that sometimes doing something different can strengthen the bond between lovers. Besides, it’s a day to celebrate Siwoo’s safe return. But don’t you all know this…? Haven’t you tried an event?”
“Hmm, I do remember liking it. Does that mean it can solve the situation?”
“So… the three of us will all go in together.”
Sharon’s serious words were a proposal for a 4P.
“H-how can you do such a shameless thing…!”
“The four of us together? Are you serious?”
Amelia was shocked, and Eloa was almost having a fit.
Their faces turned red in an instant.
In fact, Sharon, who had made the suggestion, also had burning cheeks.
But seeing the reactions of the two, she smiled inwardly, as her plan had worked to some extent.
This was a very unconventional proposal, even for Sharon herself.
The expressions on their faces, the sweet moans, and the coquettish voices on the bed were things that women were embarrassed to show to others.
It was unlikely that the gentle Amelia or the rigid Eloa would readily accept this proposal.
If the two of them gave up out of embarrassment, she would have the empty spot all to herself.
She was also hoping for this kind of luck.
“But if it’s an event like this, Siwoo will love it, right?”
That’s why she emphasized that this event was ‘for Siwoo’ to make it impossible for them to back out.
But neither Amelia nor Eloa, who were expected to back down, gave up.
After a moment of thought, Amelia showed her firm will.
“Let’s do it. Is Tiferet okay with this?”
“I think I can do it if it’s just being there.”
As expected, neither of them showed any signs of giving up easily.
