Chapter 961 – #207_Albiereo’S Close Tutoring
#955
1.
The deal went through smoothly.
Finding Periwinkle was too easy, and asking for contact wasn’t difficult either.
Perhaps if Count Adonai had seriously tried to find her, he could have easily done so without asking Siwoo?
“Alright, a promise is a promise.”
I was worried he might say something like, ‘It was too easy, though? Help me a little more,’ but.
A Gehenna noble is a noble, it seems.
Count Adonai kept the dignity of a Gehenna noble.
“Here, check this out.”
He readily signed the documents to sell the mansion.
Not only that, but also a discount on renovation costs for opening the academy, and even a declaration of support for the academy.
“There’s a lot to organize. I’ll send you the detailed documents by the day after tomorrow.”
“Yes, then I’ll prepare the funds. Could you double-check the amount written on the contract?”
“I wrote it, so there shouldn’t be any mistakes.”
This brought me one step closer to establishing the academy.
Also, the mansion that held memories with Lapi, and my teacher’s mansion, were back.
Other parts will inevitably be remodeled to some extent, but the space of memories where the two of them spent happy times will be left as my teacher’s residence.
“Now then, I need to get the money.”
Excluding the twins, she’s the richest of Siwoo’s lovers.
It’s time to go meet the Queen of the Sea, who was the biggest help in starting this project.
My big mother-in-law thought as if Siwoo had deceived the innocent Luelie to extort business funds, but the reality was the opposite.
‘How can I, the Queen, stand idly by when the royal consort of the Nukelavi Dynasty is doing great things?’
‘Promissory note? I don’t need such things. I will prepare all the expenses!’
‘You should focus all your efforts on establishing the academy!’
Luelie tore up the promissory note, so I had to rewrite it.
It wasn’t hard to find Luelie, who would be the financier.
However, she was somehow different from her usual self.
“How is it?”
“……”
“Odile and Odette have done an image change, so I have tried it too.”
“Oh, um…”
Luelie proudly raises her chin and strikes a pose with her hands on her hips.
What Siwoo felt was bewilderment.
“Did someone advise you on that?”
“The twins did it.”
“……”
Siwoo is usually generous with praise, even if it’s just empty words.
Moreover, since she came all dolled up for an image change, it would be right to give her a storm of compliments with over-the-top actions, making Luelie’s nose even sharper.
But, but this is dangerous.
Cold sweat dampens my back.
The moment I touch it, it might be irreversible.
“I heard that an image change is about showing a different side of oneself. I, who have always shown the noble and dignified demeanor of a queen, have taken on this cute outfit. What do you think? I heard that this is an outfit that represents cuteness in the current world.”
Luelie’s skirt sways beautifully.
The skirt, with a bright color like a blooming forsythia, is connected to a loose top.
And a chick beret that fits perfectly.
What more can I say?
It’s a kindergarten uniform, made bright yellow to prevent various accidents by increasing visibility.
Where did they get something like that in adult sizes, and even tailored to Luelie, who has a pretty good figure?
The twins must have deliberately tried to prank Luelie, and Luelie must have fallen for it completely.
“……”
“It’s a bit of a flashy color, so it’s not my taste… Is it your taste?”
Sweat drips down.
Of course, even if it’s a kindergarten uniform, the clothes are naturally cute because the wearer is Luelie.
It’s like watching a top-notch cosplay that has been poured with money and time.
But the moment I say it’s my taste, I’m screwed.
This is a dangerous outfit that has already gone beyond the realm of taste.
Luelie already has a somewhat youthful vibe, unlike her mature appearance, doesn’t she?
But Luelie worked hard to prepare it, so it’s not right to tell her the harsh truth.
Siwoo looked around for a moment.
This is the garden of Luelie’s annex.
In other words, it’s one of the gardens of the Geminai Count’s annex.
Luelie and Siwoo are lovers, and Luelie is standing in front of Siwoo in a kindergarten uniform.
What if someone sees this scene?
“To feel sexual attraction to such childish clothing. I am still often confused by your tastes.”
“Stop, stop it. No. Who says I feel sexual attraction?”
It’s absurd.
I feel a threat to my survival.
Siwoo calmly stretched out his arms, with the heart of dealing with a time bomb.
“First, how about taking that off, taking it off?”
“Oh? Here? Do you like it that much? You want to take it off right away. Hehe, I understand. I know you are a pervert who gets excited by engaging in lewd acts outdoors.”
Luelie, unaware of Siwoo’s burning heart, tries to undo the buttons.
“Luelie! You can’t do that! Calm down and slowly take your hands off!”
“W-wasn’t that a surprise!”
At that moment, when I was trembling in a life-or-death situation.
-Kugugugugugugugung.
Siwoo felt a tremor that seemed to sink his lower abdomen.
“Shin Siwoo.”
Siwoo turns around with a creak at the eerie call.
There, my big mother-in-law, with eyes wide open like a Vajra warrior, is standing there, emitting a murderous aura like a Yaksha.
So here’s the question.
Luelie in a dangerous outfit that looks young at first glance.
Siwoo meeting her alone.
And Luelie is about to unbutton her clothes.
How will this combination look in my big mother-in-law’s eyes?
The prank that the twins prepared carelessly has turned into an absurd event that threatens Siwoo’s life.
“I was wondering, I was wondering… My son-in-law… The son-in-law of the great Geminai Count is a… a… a pedo…”
“It’s a misunderstanding! It’s not like that! It’s really not like that!”
“Where are you making up such ridiculous excuses! The twins are looking at her with such lustful eyes too?! My daughter! Right now! Stop seeing him! Break up!”

“What is it, you should have said something if it was like that.”
“…I told you it was a misunderstanding.”
The problem is that the hand flew before that.
“Are you okay? Does it hurt?”
“Yes, it’s fine.”
Siwoo nodded, wiping the blood that was dripping from his swollen cheek and red nose.
My big mother-in-law, who mistook the twins’ prank for her son-in-law’s criminal sexual preference, expressed her anger with a magical fiery slap.
If Luelie hadn’t been furious at seeing an assassin attacking the royal consort and hadn’t explained, I don’t know what kind of attack would have followed as an additional hit.
“I thought Siwoo was a person with dangerous tendencies.”
“Well, in fact, anyone would misunderstand if they saw such a scene.”
“A misunderstanding is different in the difficulty of explanation depending on the person’s usual behavior.”
“If you say so, I have nothing to say…”
No matter how much they are adults in human age, apprentice witches are treated as beings to be protected in the witch society.
In the midst of that, Luelie, who is also classified as a ‘young witch’, was dressed in ‘young clothes’, so even if it was a misunderstanding, it might be fortunate that it ended with a slap.
“Ahem, anyway, I’m sorry. A person of that caliber lost her composure.”
“It’s okay.”
Siwoo doesn’t have much to say to his mothers-in-law, even if it’s someone else.
He was aware that he was a notorious thief who had taken the twins at the same time and had a lot of other lovers.
“The Tiferet mansion is practically ready, so it’s time to consider other matters. May I speak about what I have in mind first?”
“What is it?”
“It’s image making. More precisely, it’s image making for Siwoo.”
Image making?
Since it was a story related to the academy, I thought that a story about inviting external academies or operating policies would come out.
“Is that important?”
“Of course. Siwoo is going to be the head of the academy. As he is now, he is very, very lacking.”
“Is my image that bad?”
Even if it was before, wouldn’t it be okay recently?
I proved my ability as a scholar through thesis reviews and shed the title of a fledgling witch.
I finished the flood situation and acquired the artifact called ‘sluice gate’ that would control the current affairs of the world.
I even killed Urshira, who was an elite soldier and propaganda hero of Hexennacht, proving my personal strength.
“Of course, I’m not underestimating Siwoo’s achievements. However, if you want to lead others, you need the qualities that are appropriate for that.”
As if reading Siwoo’s question, Albiereo said, making an X with two fingers.
“It’s charisma.”
“Ah, that’s definitely true.”
Let’s think about the high-ranking witches I’ve met so far.
Count Yesod, my mother-in-law, Dorothy, my teacher, Periwinkle, etc., who own large-scale businesses, had a strange charm and experience that captivated others even in their daily lives.
There is a problem here.
“But is that something you can have just because you want it?”
“Of course not. Not to brag, but it’s because the solid ego that has been forged by overcoming various twists and turns and crises in a long life, like a fragrance, moves the people around you. In the first place, charisma is a surreal authority that is not defined by a clear concept.”
“I guess so.”
Handsome, rich, well-connected, smart, and fluent in speech.
These are elements that support charisma, but having these elements does not necessarily mean that you will have charisma.
“It will take at least a month before the official establishment of the academy, right? In the meantime, I’ll give you close education so that you can at least imitate it.”
“You’re always busy, are you sure you have time?”
“Siwoo is going to be a member of our family, so he needs to have that much dignity.”
It’s a grateful thing.
But there is one thing that bothers me.
Right now, Siwoo is already carrying a pink clover that only creates all sorts of lewd situations on his body.
Unexpectedly, there hasn’t been a dramatic happening like the first time I received it, so there hasn’t been any trouble…
In this state, to have close education with my big mother-in-law?
It’s not just a matter of morality.
Depending on my big mother-in-law’s reaction in case of emergency, Siwoo’s life could go back and forth.
“Hmph, do I look like someone who is played by fate?”
“No, but… this is not normal.”
I told her the detailed facts, but like a charismatic big mother-in-law, she makes a bold statement based on her solid ego.
“…Yes, I understand for now.”
Siwoo felt somehow uneasy.
