Chapter 966 – #208_Scandal(2)

One.
These days, when advanced network technology has developed, all kinds of news and news can be accessed by simply turning on a smartphone, but witches still prefer to share information through printed materials.
It is a matter of familiarity, not simply a matter of preferring antique things.
For witches who have lived for decades or even hundreds of years, reading is the act of reading black ink on a recording medium made of plant fibers.
Therefore, Gehenna also has several publications.
First of all, ‘The Gazette’, a newspaper published twice a week by the Central City Hall.
Academic journals and newsletters regularly published by various societies.
A catalog published every month at the Adonai Chamber of Commerce or the Gemonai Sorcery Shop.
In Border Town, there must be something like a canar that tells a little bit about current trends.
Since the essence of witches is the study of magic, the most widely loved periodical publications are academic journals.
Everywhere you go, you can find a witch caught in an academic journal by her side, and when an amazing paper is published, as Siu did a while ago, everyone gathers their heads in front of the academic journal.
However, as is well known, noble witches do not always devote themselves to magic research.
When it comes to Gehenna’s tabloids, there is a gossip that has an irreplaceable status, and its name is ‘Dandelion’.
The person who writes the article, the place where it is published, and even the publication cycle and number of copies are irregular.
It masquerades as a neutral newsletter, but in reality the content covered is not much different from chirashi.
Rumors of love, discord, separation, infidelity, all sorts of intrigues and scandals, fights and conflicts within the social world, the debut of new witches, fashion trends, private lives of famous witches, and so on.
If you look closely at the ingredient analysis table, you will find that there is no nutritional value in Dandelion.
Although it is written in a formal and elegant style, the neutrality that starts with “Kadara” And ends with “I think” Is itself the discarded junk food of the publication world.
However, it is human nature to seek news that is both stimulating and exhilarating, intimate and peripheral.
Boasting an 80-year history and passionately loved by Shai subscribers, this gossip flies like a dandelion spore and gently lands on a private salon, a witch’s backyard mailbox, or a secret bookshelf in the corner of a bar.
Even if the content itself is lousy, ‘There was no truce: Baron Demer and Count Gemanai’s war of nerves’, ‘Tightening a corset for bluff: a dress full of a lady’s first step into society this week’, ‘Secret garden party’ : A night without a letter of introduction that led to the scandal of the century’, ‘Secretary and my fatal love triangle: Who will win in the end?’
“There is something like this in Gehenna… ?”
Siwoo, who first learned about the identity, couldn’t hide his bewilderment and embarrassment.
“These shallow women are really… !”
As Albireo, who is admired and cared for by many, he has been burned by gossip articles many times.
Albireo scanned the article with a blazing gaze that even felt hatred.
[The Tree of the Sephiroth passed a vote to nominate the heir to the baronial title, which remained vacant after Amelia Marigold was deprived of her title due to the disgraceful mana runaway incident at the last harvest festival. The newly nominated person to be awarded the title is Shin Si-woo, a witch who recently appeared like a comet and brought a lot of trouble to the witch society as a whole, and who can only be called an incomprehensible existence]
[The candidate for Baron Siwoo Shin was designated as a supernova who will open a new path for magic through an innovative research paper called ‘Combination of Different Magnetic Magic’ and her verification process at the secretarial high school, which was as shocking as the subject. However, regarding her private life, several eyewitness accounts and testimonies are pouring out that contradict her appearance as a promising witch.]
An article written on the 8th page.
There was not only a line, but also an attached photo of evidence that could sufficiently support the article.
Entering the room with Sharon.
Kissing Amelia in the perfume shop.
A picture of them walking side by side with their hands on Master’s waist.
Standing in the saddle alongside Rruye.
Going out for a walk with the twins and so on.
It was a picture taken from various angles of a scene full of love and affection.
“No, Gehenna doesn’t even have portrait rights?”
“This is not a matter of Gehenna’s law, but Siu-kun’s.”
“It is, but…”
She felt her head spin.
Although he had to set up a harem out of necessity, Siwoo has been careful in his own way.
It may not be possible if the flirtation or glare is only pouring down on Siwoo alone, but if a scandal of this kind occurs, there will surely be curious eyes on the lovers.
Since there are only female witches anyway, it served as a suitable smoke screen for Siwoo’s harem, and until now, except for a few witches, no one knew about Siwoo’s pilgrimage to women.
Even those were witches with their own friendship.
“You stabbed a sore spot at the right time. It seems to have been prepared for a long time.”
Albireo, who had checked all the articles, said bitterly.
Unfortunately or fortunately, the information about Dorothy, Linnaeus, and Count Yesod was completely missing.
Also, his relationship with Deneb was not specifically described.
But that doesn’t mean it’s not a problem.
In the article, not only Siu and his lovers, but also the fact that Siu is the son-in-law of Count Zemanai’s son-in-law, secretly supported the count’s family.
He was talking about nonsense, such as the young lady of an aristocrat who had been cheated on and the hostess who couldn’t control the house.
An ‘opportunity’ was provided for the writers who were usually oppressed by their family name and couldn’t even make a sound.
For a while, it was clear that the family of Count Zemanai would go up to the cubicles of luxury men and suffer a bout of measles.
“Sorry. I should have been more clear…”
“Siwoo-kun is right, but I think you should take care of yourself first.”
“It is certain that Siwoo-kun will end up in dishonorable rumors in the future.”
However, Albireo and Deneb remained calm.
Anyway, it’s just a rumor.
The Countess of Myrna is not strictly related to her, and she still has a solid foundation and reputation.
This means that the boat is not so strong that it will be stranded in the storm.
However, Siu is different.
Not all witches are closed off on love and sex, but Siwoo went a little too far.
Besides, all lovers are great witches.
Among them was Duke Tiphareth, who was known for his uprightness and claimed to be his teacher and guardian.
The stage of preparing whether or not to make a name for yourself.
The first male witch in history to be awarded the baronial title.
Moreover, it is the stage of purchasing and preparing the site for the establishment of the society.
It is undeniable that because he is a man who has become a witch without precedent, he receives dogmatic stares or is secretly looked down upon.
At the time when he was just crouching down to take a leap, he was kicked by an embarrassing scandal.
It is certain that there will be an outpouring of criticism and ridicule at a level that cannot be compared to that of Count Gemanai or other lovers.
“Shall we find it and overturn it?”
“No.”
“Of course not. Siwoo-kun.”
“I guess so, right?”
I don’t know who lives where, but it’s Siwoo who thought for a while about going and playing a game.
But, of course, it is the worst handshake ever.
“In Gehenna, where honor and trust are valued above all else, if you behave in such an indecent way, you will have no place to live.”
“Under… Really this… Am I a bit harsh even in Gehenna?”
“Strictly speaking, yes.”
The only lovers who are officially dating are Amelia, Odile, Odette, Sharon, Elois, L’Rue, Dorothy, and Linnaeus.
There is also Count Yesod, who has been sleeping with him for research purposes right now, and the number will increase if you increase short meetings.
“Ha, there is no foal like this.”
Albireo shoots Siwoo at the suddenly stiff back bone.
But he knows that even if I bring up facts he already knows and stir-fry him, nothing will come of it.
“It’s a charisma project, it’s nabal, and it’s over. Even the baron has passed away.”
“For 10 years, I have to live on my face as if I were dead.”
Gehenna 30% witches are ‘orthodox’, and their concept of chastity is not much different from the level recommended as a virtue to nobles in the past.
In the meantime, a horny academic president?
If such an annihilation is branded like a stigma, prestigious witches will naturally be reluctant to the society Siu will establish.
In addition, it became difficult to readily accept the position of baron, which had been rolling in for a long time.
“Why is that?”
“Siwoo-kun. As I said earlier, the title of baron of Gehenna is an honorary title.”
“Are you caught up in a scandal and trying to swallow an honorable title without any other calling?”
“It’s like committing social suicide to get a broken nameplate. I can’t stand still.”
Looking at the details of the article and the attached photos, it was not something I had prepared for a day or two.
It was a sniping shot aimed at a vital point at the exact moment it was needed after burying it one by one.
That is, at the time when Gehenna’s attention is focused on Shin Si-woo, and Si-woo is trying to expand his influence through such attention.
“I made a mistake.”
No one wants to share power easily.
Especially in the eyes of the majority of witches, it may be even more so as ‘Shin Si-woo’, an outsider.
Scheming and political checks were, of course, to be expected.
“I didn’t expect you to move so fast already…”
However, if there is something that neither Albireo nor Deneb could have predicted, it was that the speed was too fast.
Even if you’re not an idiot, you can guess that someone inflated the scandal to keep Shin Si-woo in check with an intention.
This is tantamount to making enemies of Duke Tiphareth, Count Zemanai, two 23rd-rank witches, and one 21st-ranked witch.
It means that it is too early to take such a risk and act recklessly.
While there is no room for interpretation other than that someone moved with hostility…
“For now, today’s class ends here.”
“We will be looking for countermeasures.”
“Siwoo-kun, don’t meet anyone and don’t go out of the mansion.”
“I’m glad this is enough. It must have been a sex tape.”
It was a time when neither Albireo nor Deneb could come up with a sharp solution and were about to break up.
At that time.
– Jump!
The door is open.
Gorgeous beard and neatly trimmed pomade.
Even though she wears a suit like a swallow, she never looks vulgar.
“You are… ?”
“Madame Rose Glass?”
“I will see you after a long time. Count Gemanai, and Count Deneb.”
As he was incorporated into high society, he often appeared at various gatherings, so Albireo and Deneb recognized him.
“I hope you understand that I came to see you despite the rudeness.”
Takasho Mimaya, a boy from Hokkaido, politely greeted his two mothers-in-law in front of them.
“Hey, Brother. Need help?”
Takasho’s uselessly fresh teeth gleamed.
