Chapter 220 – Side Story 24. The Wise Man’s House (1)
While I’ve been fighting with other warrior party members, I’ve only had two opportunities to see their houses in detail.
One time, when I was looking for a warrior party member, I went to the entrance to the underworld where Devi lived.
Another time was around this time last year, when I stayed one night at Liliana’s mansion.
Even so, since Devi no longer goes near the Underworld, Lyriana is the only one who has been able to see a proper home.
In the case of the other two, they are the type of people who don’t even talk about their home.
Amy seemed to want to distance herself from her family, and would gnash her teeth whenever she was mentioned.
Ariel smiled like a snake and naturally changed the topic of conversation.
Since these two people clearly showed that they disliked them, I also did not want to pay much attention to their homes.
But today was different.
“Come on, come in quickly.”
Opening the creaking wooden door, Ariel stretched out her arm as if to guide her.
The wise man seemed reluctant, but wasn’t this an opportunity to satisfy the curiosity he had suppressed so far?
At this point, I took a step forward, vowing to take in every nook and cranny of the house with my own eyes.
“Excuse me.”
With that said, she took her first emotional step.
How do I feel about seeing Ariel’s house for the first time?
It was the first place where the word desolate came to mind.
Unlike the exterior, which looked like an ordinary home, there were few objects inside.
At best, all that could be seen was a table with short legs and a few simple utensils in the kitchen.
The house was so empty that I thought my bedroom was relatively fancy.
There wasn’t even a single chair.
There was not even a vase to decorate the house, nor a single bookshelf to store the grimoires.
It was like an empty house with no people living in it.
Whether it would be possible to live a normal life in this environment even came to mind.
“Did you miss my house that much?”
Ariel came up from behind and smiled with her mischievous smile.
“It’s a bit hard for me to say it, but isn’t there really nothing?”
“Are you worried? Ahaha, I’m a little excited.”
“When people show concern, take it a little more seriously.”
He spoke in a slightly angry tone and threw a light punch at Ariel’s forehead.
The wise man seemed to be in a better mood due to the affectionate action, and let out a heartless laugh, saying ‘Ehehe’.
“I have everything I need for life. There is a bed and a closet.”
“That’s not the problem. “At least you should be able to tell that it is a house where people live.”
“Having more furniture than this is just a luxury. In the first place, it was just a place to sleep, and these days, you sleep in your bedroom most days, right?”
Ariel, who interrupted him there, shrugged and lifted his shoulders.
“Or Tecia, do you want to live here? Then, I might feel like decorating my house in some way.”
“… Ugh. Okay, okay. “I won’t nag you anymore.”
“Ahaha, it’s fine if you worry about me more.”
Ariel smiled slyly and turned her back on me.
“There’s something we need to talk about first, right?”
“Uh, uh…”
A conversation that needs to be had.
I was able to figure out what it meant right away.
Ariel, who saw my attitude calming down in an instant, sent a slightly sharp look at Elena.
“You too, Elena. “You probably know why I was summoned with Teshia, right?”
“Yes, yes, professor.”
Elena answered, shaking her hands nervously.
Ariel glared at her cowering figure and let out a sigh.
“When I first saw him, I thought he was a genius who would shake up the continent. “How did a kid like that end up like this, Won?”
“…”
“Isn’t that right, Thesia?”
“Uh, huh? Me?”
“Okay. “It’s all because you’re so sexy, Tecia.”
Ariel scolded her and stabbed her in the chest with her finger.
“Ah, huh…”
“With your lustful breasts bouncing around, you captivate people of all ages and genders all over the world. It even charmed the goddess.”
“Well, I did that because I wanted to…” … Hehe!?”
“But you’re accepting it in the end. I even plan to make my student her wife someday. Isn’t that right?”
“Ugh…”
I couldn’t refute it.
It’s true that I fell for Elena’s passionate courtship.
“No matter how much we like each other, don’t you think it’s gone too far to hold an outdoor nudity show in the middle of the street like that?”
“Well, that’s all for a reason…” …”
“What on earth is it okay to masturbate in a crowded street if there is a good reason?”
“Ugh.”
That’s what I heard.
Ariel sighed again as she pursed her lips and fell silent.
“I was so frustrated because I suddenly couldn’t feel your divine power.”
“You can’t feel divine power? What is that… ?”
You can detect my divine power even though I went on a business trip to such a far away place?
Once again, I realized why Ariel is called the pinnacle of magic and ‘the wise man.’
Ariel continued talking as if it was nothing special as I was inwardly admiring her.
“Literally. Thesia’s divine power is StupidDisciple’s Clumsy“It must have been blocked by the barrier and couldn’t flow out.”
“Ouch! Well, you’re wrong, Professor! Please just take a look!”
“Do you know how many times I’ve heard that in just one year? I’m sick of it now, I’m sick of it!”
As if to vent her anger, Ariel swung her palm and hit Elena’s butt.
Even though she was hit over the top of her school uniform skirt, Elena must have been so shocked that she even had tears in her eyes and begged for forgiveness.
“Do you know how worried I was? Even as I was flying, all sorts of thoughts came to my mind, you idiots!”
“I’m sorry…”
“These big tits are the problem, again! This! It’s because of those lewd tits!”
“Ahiiing♡”
“Don’t bother Tesia, Professor! “It’s because I forced Teshia!”
“…”
Elena protests and Ariel glares at the girl.
The two people fighting over me somehow felt even more lovely.
“Ahh, haha♡”
Rather, um.
I get a strange feeling every time my breath touches my cleavage.
If I tell you this now, they will definitely try to tease me again.
“Ugh… ♡”
… I should just stay quiet.
“…”
“…”
“… Ugh. Okay. I lost, I lost.”
Ariel said, raising both hands.
My face was still wedged between my cleavage.
The wise man continued speaking in a voice that rang as if he were wearing a mask.
“What can I say when I say I like you? The problem is that Teshia is too nice and ugly and lewd.”
Was I wrong?
It’s a little unfair.
“But from now on, be careful about yourself. “Keep in mind that you are still a student and the daughter of Duke Schubert.”
“…”
“Answer.”
“Yes, yes!”
“Good.”
Write it, wow.
Taking a deep breath, Ariel finally pulled her face away from her cleavage.
“So, why did you do that?”
“Huh?”
“If you want to do something so naughty, you can do it at the cathedral. “I need to at least hear the reason why he came out and did that.”
“Uh, that’s…”
That’s right.
Why did it have to happen outside?
I think there was some important reason.
“I heard you came to the academy too? “The assistant told me.”
“… Oh, that’s right.”
Only then did I put my hand on my forehead and remember the most important matter.
“You’re not planning on saying you’ve forgotten all this time, are you?”
“…”
“No, right?”
“I forgot.”
I shyly brushed one side of her neck with my hand.
“… This is ridiculous. Have you really become a succubus? “The only thing that comes to mind is sex and dirty things?”
“Ugh…”
“How lewd has it become?”
Ariel looked up at me and smiled.
Then, suddenly.
“Ugh… !?”
“Chu, chouup, nghuhu…” …”
Raising his tiptoes, the short wise man kissed me on the lips.
I was left helpless by her surprise kiss, which wrapped her arms around the back of her neck.
“Chulrp, churp, chuuk…”
“Ugh… !?”
“Jjoooook… Haha.”
Hehe, he said.
The easy smile of an older man was visible on the lightly smiling face of the wise man.
“I even like that look♡”
“Uh, uh…”
It happened again.
There was no way to overcome this pattern of always being caught up in it.
“…”
That time when she and Ariel exchanged looks up close.
I noticed a sharp gaze coming from right next to me.
“…”
“What. Why, what?”
“…”
Lips and cheeks that protrude sulkily.
Eyes that are narrowed and full of jealousy.
Both Ariel and I trembled at Elena’s expression, which we had never seen before.
“Okay, I got it. I can’t believe you don’t even allow me to be affectionate with my lovely wife. I heard that kids these days are so unruly.”
Grunting, Ariel released her arms from around the back of my neck.
From now on, let’s not carelessly engage in skinship in front of Elena.
Ariel seemed to be thinking the same thing as me.
