Chapter 796 – #167_Lovers’ Grand Assembly
#790
1.
Sunlight streamed through languid eyelids.
The leisurely chirping of birds.
A blanket that felt unusually soft and fluffy today.
This was a prelude to sleeping in.
After spending a little over 24 hours making love in bed, Rinne and Eloa realized, even in their hazy state, that they had overslept.
“Hmm….”
“Umm….”
But neither Eloa nor Rinne were exactly office workers.
There was no need to wake up in a hurry after realizing they had overslept in their half-asleep state.
The two, who each occupied a spot on either side of Siwoo, reached out their hands like pups seeking their mother’s milk, even though they couldn’t see.
“Huum….”
“Haam….”
The pleasant sensation of soft skin and fluffy bare skin touching.
A cheek was being touched.
The fact that a cheek was being touched meant that Siwoo (their husband) was sleeping facing them.
“Siwoo, did you sleep well?”
“Husband, good morning.”
Feeling a small sense of satisfaction, the two opened their eyes and looked at the person in front of them.
And then, they woke up as if they had been splashed with cold water.
“Ah….”
“Uh….”
Because the two had their legs intertwined, with their hands on each other’s cheeks.
This scene was akin to a lesbian couple cuddling in bed in the morning.
Somehow, Siwoo’s leg felt too slender,
And somehow, their husband’s cheek felt too soft.
It was a minor trigger, but it was a truly volatile situation that, if it had happened before, could have led to a fierce argument and emotional fight.
“…….”
“…….”
However, Eloa and Rinne’s reaction was not intense.
They simply moved away from each other, got up, and then covered their naked bodies with the blanket, turning their backs to each other.
Like childhood friends who had rented a motel while drunk and regained their senses in the morning.
“Uh-oh….”
“Umm….”
The two let out long groans as they recalled what had happened until last night.
They hurriedly grabbed the gowns that Siwoo had clearly left behind and put them on.
Where Siwoo had gone was not a big issue right now.
The two, who had escaped the influence of the wild threesome, needed time to reflect on their misdeeds with a clear mind.
So, from last night….
What exactly did they do?
The scenes that flashed through their minds were all lewd, full of bare skin.
They had competed in a way that was absurd, as if they were having a competition of caresses.
They had revealed all sorts of shameful climaxes that they had never shown to anyone else.
Later, they had naturally intertwined their bodies as if they were possessed by something.
“Why did I do that….”
Why did they do that?
The idea of competing with their rival was fine.
But if you only looked at the result, it was like a teacher had dragged their student into an orgy.
They had their secret places sucked and poked by their rival, and they had moaned.
“…….”
Why did they do that?
They had clearly intended to defeat Tiferet in a grand manner and make her kneel by being recognized as a higher-ranking bride than her.
How on earth did the situation unfold so that they ended up swallowing as much of Tiferet’s fluids as their husband’s?
The belated embarrassment, the replay of their dark history, and the deep regret made them even temporarily put aside their animosity towards each other.
Something must have been off yesterday.
Eloa’s eyes welled up with tears, and Rinne ruffled her hair wildly.
“Did you wake up? The timing is not great. I was just about to bring in some food.”
Just then, Siwoo entered with a tray full of simple meals.
2.
It was a pleasant lunchtime.
Siwoo looked at his two teachers.
As expected, the great harmony operation on the bed was successful in some ways.
At least, the two were not treating each other with sharp attitudes.
And the fact that it was successful in some ways also meant that it was not successful at all in some ways.
“…….”
“…….”
Eloa was eating her toast in small bites without saying a word, and Rinne was just sipping her tea with a dark expression.
Siwoo had tried to break the ice a few times, but was met with silence, so he also shut his mouth.
A storm of awkwardness was raging.
Now that they had regained their senses, it was only natural.
The two, who did not get along, did not only share the commonality of being teachers.
They were also the same in that they were both people who were full of seriousness.
In other words, if you were to pick the two people who were most ashamed of the shameful behavior they had shown the day before when they woke up in the morning, they would definitely be the top two.
“Husband.”
It seemed that the silence had become too much to bear, and Rinne was the first to speak.
Rinne, who always made eye contact, was looking at the empty space today as she spoke.
“So, who is the winner?”
Ah, right.
He had forgotten that that was the original setup.
“That…”
“You’re talking nonsense as soon as you wake up.”
As if she had never been awkward, Eloa cut off her words like a knife.
Despite this reconciliation, their gazes did not clash sharply… they were looking in different directions.
“Are you afraid of receiving a fair judgment?”
“Rinne, you declared your surrender with your own mouth. Are you going to go back on your word now?”
That’s right.
Rinne had attacked Eloa, and then Eloa had attacked Rinne.
Eloa had not said the words surrender or defeat, but Rinne could not bear the torment and had cried out her surrender.
Eloa was pointing out that part.
“Hmph, that’s a fallacy.”
“I don’t know what you’re going to say, but you’re going to spout fallacies.”
“We competed several times after that. You’re trying to take all the victories by winning one match in a multi-game series.”
In other words, Eloa was saying that it was over because Rinne had tapped out.
Rinne’s logic was that it was just one judgment out of many rounds.
“Just a moment.”
Siwoo drew their attention in the chaotic atmosphere.
“It’s not easy for me to say which side was superior.”
“I know that you are indecisive.”
“I want to hear who was slightly better, even if it’s just a tiny bit.”
After much deliberation, Siwoo answered.
Even though he might have forgotten the purpose of the question itself, it was something he had always thought about.
“Eloa and Rinne, both of you are too good for me.”
As if the results were about to be announced, the two stopped bickering and listened quietly.
“So how can I rank you? I will become a better man so that I won’t be ashamed to embrace both of you at the same time. A man with a big enough heart that you can feel at ease without having to fight.”
It was a somewhat vague statement, but Siwoo’s sincerity seemed to have been fully conveyed.
The teachers, who had been glaring with their eyes wide open, and Rinne, who had been glaring with displeasure, both softened their expressions.
“You are already a good person. You were a good person from the beginning.”
“Husband, you are too good for me as well.”
The two, who chose a temporary truce at Siwoo’s honest words, were indeed teachers who loved their student too much.
3.
Thus, the battle between the teachers ended in a draw in a warm atmosphere.
For the rest of the time, Siwoo visited the clinic in Tarot Town where Yebin was staying.
It wouldn’t be right to come empty-handed, so he first brought housewarming gifts from Border Town.
A box of ramen and a fruit basket, that sort of thing.
“This is bad.”
It seemed like he had come at the wrong time.
The clinic in Tarot Town where Yebin had returned was crowded with people.
Since it was being provided to citizens free of charge with a budget from the Gehenna City Hall, people who had been waiting in line had flocked to it.
“Just a moment, just a moment.”
A long line stretched outside the clinic.
As he listened to the voices of people calling Yebin a saint and praising her, he asked for their understanding and moved forward.
There were hardly any citizens who did not know Siwoo’s face, so they all bowed their heads and made way for him.
The first male witch of Gehenna was a big shot that even most witches could not treat carelessly.
“Grandpa, I’ll give you some medicine, so can you come back in two days? It might be a little itchy as you’re healing, but don’t scratch it, and make sure to wash it about once every two days?”
“Oh my, Saintess. Thank you always, thank you always.”
“Hey, I’m not a saintess. What kind of saintess am I? Oh? Siwoo!”
Yebin, who had been embarrassed by the old man’s praise, brightened up as soon as she saw Siwoo’s face.
“I’m sorry for visiting when you’re so busy.”
“You’re always welcome, no matter when you come! Could you wait a little bit?”
“Yes, yes, I’ll help too.”
He had no intention of receiving special treatment just because he was a celebrity.
It seemed difficult to get treatment until all these people were taken care of, so he rolled up his sleeves and helped Yebin.
Three hours later.
Yebin, who had treated the large crowd in an instant, offered tea with a refreshed face.
“I’ve been getting a lot of help from you since Hexennacht.”
“You’re working as soon as you arrive. Aren’t you tired?”
“Tired? I’m doing what I like. It’s rewarding.”
“You’re amazing.”
Her face was truly filled with pride as she said that.
It was a smile that only someone who was proud of what they did, contributed to the world with their own strength, and had worked up a sweat could make.
How wonderful was that?
“…….”
Many thoughts came to mind.
Since becoming a witch, Siwoo had never felt any financial hardship and had lived in a luxurious environment.
But that was not due to Siwoo’s own ability.
It was only because he had relied on the wealth of the Jemenae family.
Not only that.
How had he lived until now?
He had been caught up in various incidents and had been too busy trying to survive, so he had never done anything with his own strength. He had always subtly relied on others and received help.
But now he had become fully aware.
Siwoo had an excessive number of lovers.
A man who received so much happiness could not just suck honey under their skirts forever.
After seeing Yebin’s charity work, he firmly resolved that he would become someone who could take responsibility for everyone.
Someone who was so cool that no one would say behind his back, “What’s with that guy, why does he have so many people with him?”
He had to become a damn cool guy.
“You came for a checkup, right? I’ve just finished servicing the equipment.”
“Yes, please.”
Siwoo placed his left arm, which still did not have proper sensory synchronization even after he had replaced it with a prosthetic hand, on the board that Yebin had prepared.
