Chapter 749 – #160_Let’s Stop Now (2)
#749
One.
Albireo, who suffered from headaches over his indecisive son-in-law and late affair Deneb, chose cognac as a medicine for headaches.
The family photo of the Jemani family, tilted at an angle while being framed, is trodden upon once again.
Albireo and Deneb each hugged Odile and Odette, who were no different from squirrels.
Albireo, who looks just like Deneb, may say, but up until this point, Deneb was the model for witches.
Deneb, who was like this, could never have thought that he would upset Albireo in this way.
At this point, when the succession is just around the corner.
He had no choice but to borrow the power of alcohol to alleviate this grievous feeling.
-Smart
I can only sigh, but I am not willing to be the first guest.
But on the contrary, it might be better to have a conversation with someone else to calm this troubled mind.
“Come in. What? Miss Sharon?”
“Excuse me for suddenly visiting you at such a late hour. Do you have a good time?”
“Yes, of course.”
Albireo narrowed his eyes.
The identity of the visitor who suddenly came before dawn was Sharon.
Well, nothing strange about this.
Sharon, who had been a diner for about a year, would know that the workaholic Albireo doesn’t sleep.
Because Sharon, who fell into this rescue operation, may have questions.
I thought it might be a problem related to my son-in-law again, but….
I didn’t quite understand why Sharon had brought a big suitcase in a modern day outfit.
“Miss Sharon, where are you going?”
“Yes, I’m here to tell you about that.”
“Don’t stand still, sit down comfortably.”
“Yes, without hesitation….”
There were many questions she wanted to ask, and there were parts that were unclear, but she poured cognac to Sharon, who was sitting on the sofa.
It’s hard to pinpoint exactly.
However, it was an atmosphere and expression that needed the consolation of the main god.
Sharon nodded her head to thank her, but she hesitated for a second, not lifting her glass.
“I think the job of a tutor will be difficult in the future.”
“…… ?”
Albireo can’t keep up with the situation.
However, he did not show a sign of great surprise and asked calmly.
“I know Miss Sharon is a person who doesn’t give up on her responsibilities. You seem to have a story, but if it’s not rude, may I ask the reason?”
The Sharon that Albireo knew was a very sincere witch.
Even though she had astronomical debts, she did not go astray, she steadily tried to save money, and she did not neglect her tutoring work at all.
Her twin’s weakest subject was elemental magic, but after Sharon took over the position, she achieved quite distinct results.
Even if it wasn’t a case like this, if Albireo accumulated experience, it was possible to grasp the quality of a person at first impression.
If that Sharon suddenly threw up her resignation letter and was about to leave, she seemed to have a good reason.
“…….”
However, despite Albireo’s question, she did not open her mouth to Sharon.
She hesitated for a while, just staring at the tips of her knees gathered together.
Sharon rummages through her suitcase and pulls out a white document from her.
Except for magic, Albireo, who is closest to papers, immediately recognized its identity.
Two contracts with an unforgeable seal engraved on war paper.
It was an IOU returned by Albireo in return for Sharon taking charge of elemental classes until the succession.
According to the Gehenna City Hall Act, which is still a bit outdated, only IOUs are recognized as proof of debt relations.
In other words, if Sharon burns the IOU, the obligation to pay the debt is permanently extinguished.
The amount written on it is the amount, and to face the IOU again, which she expected to burn as soon as she received it, as the trouble she suffered because of the debt was hers….
Albireo realized that his premonition was correct.
Something is out of the ordinary
“Because I’m quitting halfway on my own…. I’ll return this. If you give me a little more time, I will make sure to repay the interest.”
“Miss Sharon, don’t be so sad. Even though Miss Sharon and I have an employer-employee relationship, how many dinners have we had together?”
“…….”
“Odil and Odette follow Miss Sharon well, and I hope this relationship lasts for a long time. If there are unavoidable circumstances, I will take into consideration, so will you tell me?”
Sharon, who hesitated for a long time at Albireo’s soothing words, managed to open her mouth.
Each word sounded heavy and dripping.
“We broke up.”
“Oh….”
Albireo couldn’t hide his sigh.
This is because, despite her intuition pointing to it, things she thought would never happen came out of her mouth.
“I don’t think I’m still getting help from him in the situation we broke up with.”
Albireo, unable to open his mouth on such a heavy topic, quietly took the IOU placed on Sharon’s desk.
“I know why. I won’t ask for more details.”
“Thank you for your understanding. I don’t mind…. Would it be all right if I ask you one more thing?”
This time Sharon pulled out her little jewelry box.
It was quite heavy, but judging from the sound of clicking inside, it seemed to contain quite a few jewels.
She’s not the kind of extravagant thing that Sharon is new to, and given her magical properties, she was probably bought for research.
“I will definitely pay off the debt no matter what, so can you pass this on to Siwoo?”
“If that’s enough…. How can I tell you?”
“Please don’t know that I gave it to you.”
Albireo has no particular dating experience, but she realizes that this breakup is extremely sincere for Sharon.
Sharon wants to break up with her without leaving anything behind.
“… Like.”
“Thank you very much. There were a lot of excuses late at night.”
Sharon, who is about to bow her head and leave, is stopped by Albireo.
“Miss Sharon.”
“Yes?”
Albireo said while holding the IOU.
“I’ll take this for now. But if you change your mind, feel free to come back. I will be waiting for you.”
“… Thank you very much. But that won’t happen.”
“And the officetel that I gave to Siwoo in the past, you can use it until you decide where to go.”
“Yes?”
“Aren’t you planning to go to Seoul?”
“It is, but….”
“It’s a room to be played anyway, and a house is a dull atmosphere when no one lives in it. Stay for a while and carefully think about your plans for the future. I’ll have my contact information, so if anything happens, I’ll call you.”
“… Yes.”
Sharon nodded her head and she now really left her office.
Albireo poured her cognac into her mouth, which Sharon didn’t even take a sip of.
“Ugh, I’m old too….”
I did something really stupid.
Albireo is Odile and Odette’s operational staff and coach during the love war over Siu.
Despite Deneb’s sudden betrayal, Albireo’s position was firm.
The relationship between Sharon and Siwoo is strong.
Even after entering Gehenna, the number of lovers increased, but it did not change.
A lover who has been next to Siwoo for the longest time, and a strong enemy with whom a consensus is formed after living in the same culture for a long time.
As she is a witch, her appearance is absolutely guaranteed.
She is up-to-date, has good life skills and affinity, and has a benevolent personality that embraces everything, compared to the twins who have a stubborn side to whom they resemble.
That’s why even Albireo felt a sense of crisis and kept Sharon in check in the past rather than asking him to ‘keep his distance’.
In that sense, Sharon’s voluntary resignation was something Albireo would welcome with her open arms.
In the midst of so many competitors, the twins will have a slight advantage.
In other words, Albireo did not have to do anything.
At least she didn’t have to say that when she returned, she would hire her as a tutor.
She didn’t have to give Sharon and Siu a chance to look back by temporarily renting out the lodging together.
“Anyway, how would you do that?”
However, seeing Sharon’s face, which seemed stubborn at first glance, she was about to collapse, she couldn’t bear to knock her calculator coldly.
“Anyway, Shin Si-woo is the problem, Shin Si-woo.”
It was Albireo who reaffirmed his hostility toward his son-in-law.
2.
Sharon’s departure was swift.
As for the number of people to greet, I would say Eloah, the twins, and Amelia.
Although she quarreled with Odile Odette, she got along well.
At first, she had a lot of outbursts, but if you look closely, she’s cute, and she’s got a lot of affection for her.
She said they had gone on a trip together, and somehow the twins were entangled in strange events.
She was good drinking buddy with Duke Elroa.
Her first meeting was not so good because of her misunderstanding, but after Eloa shed tears to Sharon and told her teacher’s grievances for loving her pupil.
Sharon, in her own way, also tried to help her.
Even after that, she lived casually and built a relationship with her sister and sister.
Amelia’s relationship was also alienated, so she built up her friendship by going to the public bath together on holidays or going to a nearby cafe.
Occasionally, there were times when they quarreled over issues such as ‘Who gave Siwoo a hot event?’, But when Siwoo was captured by the witch of the deep sea, they comforted each other by talking about her breasts.
“Friend….”
It was an undeservedly happy day compared to the past, when he was kicked out of this world with the yoke of incomplete succession and a mountain of debt.
No matter how hard it was, I made a lot of friends for the first time after escaping from a life where there was no place to complain, no place to lean on.
Friends who love the same man, compete in good faith, and still care for each other.
I have never once thought that I disliked or hated such a relationship.
However, now that he has announced his breakup with Siwoo, it has become an awkward relationship even to say hello.
It will probably always be like that.
-Paaaaang!
With the sensation of shimmering the surrounding space, the scenery of Gehenna disappears as if washed away, and the noise of her horn pierces your ears.
The night view shimmering as if it were burning on the asphalt after the rest of the rain.
The window panes melted into colorful colors in the cold heat.
“I’m alone again….”
Sharon, who was standing in Odokani, finally sat down.
The cold rain soaked Sharon’s back as she crouched down without an umbrella.
It was an indifferent and lonely city night, drowning out small sobs and sobs with the sound of cars.
