## Chapter 698 – #140_Torment And Choice (4)
#698
1.
The day of the rematch was approaching.
Around evening, as his appointment with Rosie Allu drew near, Siwoo went to find Linne.
He had received permission from her, who had refused even sparring yesterday and remained holed up in her room, but he was still bound to Linne. He thought it would be good to say hello one more time before leaving the mansion. It was also a formality of showing respect to his master.
However, to cut to the chase, Siwoo couldn’t meet Linne.
Whether she had gone out or not, he couldn’t find a single shadow of her even after searching every corner of Hyangwol Pavilion. He waited for about an hour, but eventually, the appointment time was getting tight, so he asked Yebin to pass on a message and left the mansion.
It was something he couldn’t have imagined before. He would have waited quietly for Linne to return, received permission, and only then been able to depart.
However, since last night. That is, since he had thoroughly immersed Linne in pleasure and then pulled her out, her attitude had become strangely mellow.
Since she was someone who didn’t show her emotions on the surface, the modifier ‘perhaps’ would be attached, but seeing her attitude when he received permission to go out yesterday, he could roughly feel that kind of atmosphere.
It was a fortunate thing.
In the worst case, she might have taken out her anger on him for not being able to handle the shame, or she might have been unable to forget the sweet taste of pleasure and summoned him to her bedchamber day and night.
It seemed that she was keeping a proper distance but didn’t harbor any hostility, so it could be said to be the best balance and adjustment of favorability.
“Are you there?”
Siwoo visited Rosie’s mansion, which wasn’t far from Hyangwol Pavilion. It wasn’t a mansion where someone inside could hear him knocking, so he headed straight to the reception room.
“Are you there? I’m here.”
Indeed, it was a very beautiful and elegant building. Although Siwoo’s call echoed because it was so spacious, there was no reply or sign of anyone.
“I came on time…”
The clock opposite the fireplace was well past 7 o’clock, the appointed time. Despite arriving early, it seemed Rosie was away.
“Let’s see…”
Perhaps it could be a stroke of luck. It was an opportunity to freely roam Rosie Allu’s workshop, and perhaps he could check on the safety of Manya and Malisha, who were being held hostage in the ‘playroom’.
However, after considering it a bit more, he soon gave up. It wasn’t because of the common sense idea that wandering around someone else’s house was impolite.
Rosie Allu was a public figure, and Hexen Nacht was a city of public figures. The fact that the mansion where the workshop was located was left open without even locking the door meant that, conversely, there was a high probability that there were methods and surveillance systems inside.
Siwoo thought of her as a very unsettling woman, while Rosie was showing transparent goodwill like a clear glass bead. There was no need to provoke Rosie’s vigilance by doing foolish things.
“Hmm.”
Instead, he decided to spend his time usefully with the memo pad and pen lying on the table.
Yesterday, he had used his rare free time to contemplate a position board strategy to defeat Rosie, but it was still clearly incomplete.
He thought he would consider it once more with the feeling of cramming.
In fact, he didn’t have high expectations for today’s match. No matter how much talent and cheats he had, there were still many shortcomings to overcome in order to catch up with overwhelming experience in an instant.
Therefore, the direction of today’s game was to thoroughly grasp her patterns and style, and to suffer a defeat as close to a draw as possible. So, to lead the rematch without any special requests like today. And if he was lucky, to win. That was about it.
-Tick-tock
“Haaah…”
It was about two hours after the appointed time that Rosie Allu returned to the reception room.
Two-tone dyed hair with a deep blue base that turned mint towards the edges. Unique crimson eyes as vibrant as her hairstyle. Earrings that clinked with every step she took.
So far, there wasn’t much different from last time.
However, unlike her punk look with a leather jacket and jeans, she was wearing a red off-the-shoulder dress, like something from an end-of-year awards ceremony. The red satin fabric, so smooth that it even seemed to shine, adorned Rosie beautifully.
“Oh?”
“You’re late.”
He had been secretly impatient with the excessively long waiting time. If Rosie lost interest in Siwoo, it might be difficult to create such an opportunity again.
“Ah, that’s right, that’s right! Nice to see you! I forgot.”
However, seeing Rosie’s face, which had looked tired like a rich man’s daughter dragged to a social party, brighten up, it seemed his worries were unfounded.
She kicked off her heels, which looked like they might break her ankles, and stood barefoot on the rug next to Siwoo.
“Sorry, did you wait long?”
“No, the mansion is so lovely that I didn’t even notice the time.”
“Really? I hate it because it looks old-fashioned. I use it because it was handed down, but it feels like grandma’s smell is coming from the wallpaper.”
“Ah, yes, well. I like it.”
A response that was difficult to react to in return for his flattering remark.
He reaffirmed that just because someone is energetic doesn’t mean they are always socially adept.
Rosie sat down next to Siwoo, casually put her arm on the backrest, and crossed her legs. A sigh like an old man, “Aigoo,” mixed with the scent of champagne and strong perfume. He subtly deduced from her attire and scent.
“Did you go to a party or something?”
“Ah, yeah. It’s a bothersome but unavoidable schedule. Anyway, they’re all just a bunch of unlucky bitches…”
“Was it the Almak Club, or something like that?”
“It’s in the same building.”
A social gathering of public figures.
As soon as he heard the words, he imagined a blood-soaked feast of multinational, multi-ethnic beauties tearing each other apart. It was a hellish place he wouldn’t want to participate in even for a fortune, so he didn’t bother to ask further.
Rosie, who had been resting with her bare feet on the table and her head tilted back, slowly lifted her bottom.
“Charging complete! You’ve been waiting until now to do the position board, right?”
“Yes, I’ve practiced a lot, so you should be prepared.”
Rosie, who was smiling as if tickled, poked his side and asked.
“Is it a bet this time too?”
“It’s more fun that way.”
“You’re not getting too cocky because I let you off easy before, are you? I should bet something proper this time too. Well, follow me for now.”
Although Rosie was making threats, he wasn’t too worried. No matter how fickle Rosie was, Siwoo had the reliable Linne behind him. If it was an unreasonable request that would cause a problem with his safety, he could naturally defend himself.
He followed Rosie, who picked up the heels that had been lying on the floor and went up the stairs.
He thought she was going straight to the playroom, but when they passed three doors along a long corridor, he was a little puzzled. Because among the rooms they had passed, there was a bedroom with a wide bed.
“Where are you going?”
“Here. Ta-da!”
When she opened a folding wooden door on one side of the wall, candles lit up in the dressing room.
The closets, which stretched long to the left and right, were filled with modern clothes on the left and witch-style clothes on the right.
In front, there was a storage unit for underwear and undergarments, and a dressing table, and on the dressing table, all sorts of accessories were scattered haphazardly.
“What is this?”
Rosie, whether intentionally or not, showed her seductive profile over her shoulder and pulled Siwoo’s wrist.
“I thought I should give you a reward for making you wait so long.”
“It’s okay.”
“Yeah, yeah, I’m okay too. So, help me change my clothes.”
His expression naturally became complex and subtle. Could it be that she was dragging him here as a reward to help her change her clothes?
“By the way, I’m not wearing a bra.”
Rosie’s suggestive smile added certainty to his suspicion.
He sighed. According to Alice’s testimony, Rosie, who had no interest in anyone but women, wouldn’t be trying to seduce a male witch now.
So, this sudden behavior was half teasing, half a joke. He absolutely hated getting caught up in unnecessary mischief caused by annoying playfulness and fickleness.
No matter how pretty the original is, what’s the point? If you gobble up a poisonous mushroom just because it’s flashy, you’ll only suffer the consequences. As he had mentioned before, Siwoo had seen too many pretty bitches.
“Are you impotent? Or, are you gay?”
“I’m neither impotent nor gay, but Rosie, you’re not my type.”
“What are you talking about? You’re not my type either? Then, unzip my back.”
“I can do that much for you.”
Rosie, grumbling at Siwoo’s indifferent reaction, showed her back. He judged that it was better to go along with a certain level of coercion since he had not yet achieved his goal.
The soft red fabric that opened gently and the healthy body revealed between them. It was a dazzling sight that Siwoo would have been afraid to even look at in the past.
The zipper was longer than he thought, extending below her hips and revealing even the curve of her buttocks.
“Huh?”
Siwoo, who had expected underwear to be waiting for him after hearing the words “no bra,” was dumbfounded. In a moment, Rosie’s intentional telekinesis caused the red dress to slip off and fall to the floor.
“Oh my! Eek!”
Rosie, who had turned her body to make it easy to see, was ‘pretending’ to cover her chest and crotch.
The fact that it was a pretense was easy to see because her nipples were sticking out between her fingers. The piercings on the protruding tips sparkled brilliantly under the bright lights of the dressing room.
“Hehe…”
Rosie’s gaze scanned Siwoo’s face, and a silly laugh flowed as if to say, ‘I won.’ Rosie sniffed the air and continued.
“I smell a rutting male.”
“……”
“Your breathing is shallow and rapid, and above all, your irises have widened. Like you want to devour me. How about it? Am I still not your type? More than Alice or whatever?”
He wasn’t so insensitive that he couldn’t feel the sharp competitiveness within her playful tone.
She had no interest in men, but she was dissatisfied with the fact that Siwoo’s desire was not directed at her.
It was a truly childish personality and provocation.
It was natural for a healthy man to show physiological arousal when seeing a beautiful woman’s naked body, but… He didn’t bother to explain. He simply raised his hand and surrendered.
“I’m sorry for lying. You’re very hot.”
“Mmm, right? But you absolutely can’t touch me. If you really want to eat me, try demanding it as a bet?”
He felt anew that she was a subtly tiring woman. After all sorts of twists and turns, Siwoo was able to enter the playroom with Rosie, who had changed her clothes.
2.
At the same time.
“……”
Linne was still waiting for Siwoo.

Linne, who had slightly opened the food container, reset the perilla leaves that she had carefully plated on top of the eel rice and closed the lid again.
