City of Witches Chapter 186

Once upon a time, there lived a Witch.

She was a Witch with hair as smooth and black as silk and eyes as beautiful as sapphires.

She could wield terrifying Magic that summoned monstrous beasts, but people liked her.

Because she defeated and tamed the evil monsters left behind by the Witch of Creation.

But that wasn't all.

She was always humble and never flaunted her power to others.

She was respected by the citizens of the Witch's city and even by fellow Witches, who called her the 'Witch of a Thousand Beasts'.

As time passed and flowed, the Witch of a Thousand Beasts realized her Magic could advance no further.

Like most Witches, she chose an Apprentice Witch from among her bloodline.

She taught her Magic, cherished her, and spent happy days together as if they were family.

One year passed, then five, then ten.

The Apprentice Witch who had received the Vessel had now grown enough to receive the Brand, and the Witch of a Thousand Beasts intended to pass everything on to her.

Soon, the Apprentice Witch would succeed to the splendid Magic the Witch of a Thousand Beasts had built and continue her Magic Research.

But during the ritual, the Witch of a Thousand Beasts was suddenly seized with fear.

The fact that passing on the Brand would send the Witch into eternal slumber was just too terrifying.

In the middle of the succession ritual, she forcibly halted the ceremony and killed her own Apprentice Witch.

She killed the Apprentice Witch she had raised as beautifully as her own daughter and taught Magic to as her disciple.

Was it perhaps because the gods were angry?

The Witch's face, having snatched back the Brand meant for her Apprentice, began to twist hideously.

One side of her lovely face became terribly, disgustingly wrinkled, as if burned.

People no longer called her the Witch of a Thousand Beasts.

They thought a grand title was a luxury for a Witch so vile and cowardly that she killed her Apprentice out of attachment to her own life.

Yes.

Because she was so very cowardly, the Witch of a Thousand Beasts came to be called the Cowardly Witch.

And to this day, she kills people and Witches to fix her twisted face...

How dreadful, right?

Oh my, it's already getting late.

You have a long journey starting tomorrow, so you should get to bed.

Yes, did you brush your teeth well?

That's very good.

Goodnight, Odil and Odette.

A month had already passed since Siwoo's dramatic feat of hunting the malformed Homunculus.

While movies or dramas without incidents become tedious, in real life, one wants to avoid life-or-death bloody battles if possible.

A slightly boring but peaceful daily life is the best.

Half-lying on the sofa and looking out the window, Siwoo muttered.

"It's raining a lot this year."

Sharon, plastered to Siwoo's side with her torso tilted, answered.

"Heh... it's a typhoon. Haah...!"

The first typhoon to hit Seoul directly this summer had scattered stinging raindrops and fierce winds all day.

Not long ago, strong winds had caused a shop's glass window to fall, leading to trouble.

Raindrops slanted down the dark windowpane made a sound like roasting beans.

To think he was standing right in the middle of that just a while ago, supposedly searching for a Homunculus.

Siwoo felt a little proud of himself.

It wasn't just the weather that had changed.

Sharon had quit her convenience store part-time job.

Instead, she was now studying hard for real estate.

Given the massive debt she couldn't hope to repay by saving pennies, this was undoubtedly a much better turn of events for her.

Another change.

Sharon had now become quite proficient at both Physical Enhancement and Fellatio.

Not to the level of 'It feels so good I can't last 5 minutes!', but she had gained the skill to carefully avoid scraping the Glans with her teeth and gently caress the sensitive spots.

"Haah... chlup... schluurp..."

Even now, while watching a movie, Sharon, sitting next to Siwoo, had her upper body tilted as she devotedly caressed the object with her lips and tongue.

It felt a bit like receiving a blowjob from a girl in a room salon.

Anyway, at first, Siwoo found this strange symbiotic relationship bewildering, but he adapted over time.

It felt physically good, and Sharon also seemed to be easing her sense of indebtedness through this service...

However it was, wasn't it a win-win for both? he recited to himself as a crude excuse.

"Sharon... I think I'm about to cum?"

"Mhm mhm! Mm... mm! Chlup, schluuup...!"

When Siwoo spoke, Sharon accelerated her movements as if to say she understood.

With one hand on Siwoo's thigh and the other on his chest, she diligently bobbed her head.

The Glans could be seen sliding back and forth with a schloop-schloop sound within the soft ring formed by her lips.

Right before ejaculation, giving a final spurt of stimulation focused on the Glans like this.

It was Sharon's new technique.

And Siwoo's cock, surrendering to her skillful technique.

-Pshoot pshoot pshoot!!!

"Uhp... umm... uuuhp...!"

Thick, forceful streams of cum were sucked into Sharon's mouth.

As Siwoo began to ejaculate, Sharon stopped all movement and started sucking on the Glans intently, schlup-schlup, like sucking through a straw.

The pleasure of a blowjob, something absolutely unattainable through masturbation or sex.

As the force of the ejaculating cum combined with her suction, an ecstatic sensation of ejaculation arose, squeezing out even the last drop remaining in his balls.

Even though he sprayed his load into Sharon's mouth or onto her chest at least once, sometimes twice a day, this sensation of ejaculation never grew tiresome.

"Uhp... ptueee..."

Sharon spat a mouthful of cum onto a pre-prepared wet wipe and meticulously wiped Siwoo's thing with a washcloth.

"Thanks again today."

"Ehehe, it's nothing."

When Siwoo patted Sharon's head, Sharon bared her white teeth in a silly smile.

It was really strange.

They weren't in a physical relationship, nor were they officially dating, yet he received such generous treatment every day.

But as the two tacitly accepted this series of actions as a given, it had naturally settled into one part of their daily routine.

They came to accept this quasi-sexual act between a male and female friend as just a 'risqué joke' on the level of sexual banter.

Was this a friends-with-benefits situation, or what should he call it?

Sometimes even Siwoo felt confused.

"Pause the movie for a sec. I'll just go rinse my mouth."

"Okay."

Sharon, having finished the cleanup, got up from her seat.

Siwoo unconsciously watched Sharon's retreating buttocks.A short while later, the sound of water from the showerhead could be heard from the bathroom.

"Hmm..."

Today, she hadn't even used her breasts, only serving with her mouth and hands.

That meant if she had turned on the faucet, there was no need to specifically use the showerhead.

-Ssssssssh

Moreover, the time was a bit long.

Even considering she might be brushing her teeth rather than just rinsing her mouth, being in the bathroom for over 10 minutes was unusual.

So, what was the reason?

Siwoo recalled the scene he had witnessed two weeks ago.

Sharon's crotch, soaked and dripping with love juice as if a flood had hit.

Based on this, he inferred that while Sharon provided service to Siwoo with her mouth or breasts, it might also mean that just doing that left her lower half in a mess.

The extra time was likely for dealing with the aftermath.

His mind felt a bit tangled.

Truthfully, Siwoo found it incredibly difficult to gauge the distance with Sharon.

For all his talk, while he had escaped virginity, hadn't he never experienced a normal relationship?

Take the case of the Twins.

The awkward sex education that began with coercion naturally evolved into a physically intimate relationship starting with the Mysterious Potion of love.

Of course, there had been some cute threats and pressure along the way, but it was remembered as a good thing during his otherwise anchorless slave life.

In Yebin's case, it was Yebin who had proposed a one-night stand from the start and actively pushed forward.

With his heart left empty from the breakup with Amelia, Siwoo was led by impulse and mingled flesh with Yebin.

So, what kind of case was Sharon?

If they progressed to a deeper relationship, what expressions and postures would they adopt towards each other?

It was uncharted territory.

-Click!

At the sound of the door opening, Siwoo felt awkward for no reason.

He realized that the reason for his various thoughts alone stemmed from the question, 'Is it okay to have a relationship with Sharon beyond this?'

In the process, it seemed he had been staring intently at Sharon for too long.

Sharon suddenly stopped in her tracks and asked.

"Why... why?"

She seemed a bit flustered... or maybe not?

Her expression, sneakily checking Siwoo's reaction, and her palms repeatedly clenching and unclenching for no reason.

She looked very much like she was stepping on her own foot.

Siwoo subtly tested Sharon.

He couldn't outright ask, 'Does your Boji get wet when you suck cock?' so he used the most euphemistic phrasing possible.

"I just wondered what you were doing since it took longer than usual."

"Ah... no? Than usual? Ah, I didn't do anything?"

Her reaction was quite intense.

Sharon jumped as if water had been splashed on a cat.

Even looking again, it was a suspicious reaction, but pressing further also felt a bit off, so he let it go.

"Who's saying anything, anyway, thanks again today."

"Thanks?~ It's all just what I should be doing."

To avoid showing unnecessary awkwardness, he spoke first, and Sharon's bragging came through unfailingly.

Plop. Sharon sat down beside Siwoo.

Whether it was because she was relieved or something, the sound of Sharon letting out a small sigh could be heard.

Wrapping up the day's routine and the ongoing movie screening.

Today's movie was one Sharon had personally chosen.

But Sharon, unable to focus at all, was trying to calm her pounding heart.

Surely he hadn't noticed something, right?

Initially started as a means to repay Siwoo's kindness, even if just a little, this service activity developed a troublesome aspect over time.

Namely, that whenever she engaged in lewd play with him, her panties would unconsciously become soaked.

Therefore, always under the pretext of rinsing her mouth or washing her breasts, she would head straight to the bathroom where she had prepared a change of underwear in advance.

And, concerned that if the number of panties to be washed increased, Siwoo might find it suspicious, she meticulously performed a preliminary wash with Magic, collected them separately, and later hand-washed them, not forgetting this thoroughness.

However, Sharon's prolonged stay in the bathroom wasn't solely for dealing with the aftermath.

A fact she discovered while washing her crotch under the showerhead.

If she turned the showerhead to a strong setting and used the water pressure to sweep over her genitals, it created a pleasurable sensation, like gently scratching an itchy spot.

While washing normally didn't feel particularly special, strangely, when she was excited from sucking and licking Siwoo's thing, it provided an unbelievable sense of refreshment.

Thus, Sharon always combined the aftermath cleanup with washing her precious parts.

Today, like any other day, after spending a brief, happy time, she came back out to the living room.

And Siwoo's sudden question made Sharon think, 'Was I caught?'

"........"

But given that Siwoo was somewhat clumsy at hiding things, seeing him act normally suggested he likely hadn't noticed Sharon's minor transgression.

While inwardly relieved her embarrassing state hadn't been discovered, she also felt a bit regretful somewhere.

Why did it feel like she was just walking in place?

If only Siwoo couldn't contain his excitement and pounced on her like when he kissed her before, or if he demanded actions beyond that... she felt confident she could pretend to resist and give in.

Did Siwoo not have any desire to advance their relationship further?

Or was he respecting Sharon's earlier statement, 'When we become equals, I'll permit other things too'?

If it was the latter, she wanted to retract it immediately, but she also worried about what Siwoo would think if she did so.

Lost in these various thoughts, she couldn't grasp the plot of the movie playing on the TV at all.

Then.

-Ding-dong Ding-dong

-Knock Knock

The doorbell rang.

Followed by the sound of knocking.

At the unexpected presence in the dead of night, both Siwoo and Sharon were bewildered.

"What's that? Did you order something?"

"No? I didn't."

The two looked at each other with puzzled expressions.

Meanwhile, Siwoo's expression seemed tense.

Sharon also caught the serious atmosphere.

"Why?"

"Looking at the flow of my life so far, it's about time for some trouble to arise, you know? Even the fortune-telling lady said it before, that this year I have bad luck clinging to me, so I need to be careful."

"That lady said the same thing to me? It's probably nothing."

"... Is it the woman next door?"

He wondered if it was the neighbor woman who had come before due to noise complaints.

"Should I go check?"

"Let's go together."

Pausing the movie for a moment, the two quietly stood up.

Preparing for any eventuality, Siwoo pulled out one strand of Ribbon and hid it invisibly behind his back.

The person they faced as soon as Sharon opened the door was.

"It's been a while.""Ugh..."

It was Count Gemernai—more precisely, Gemernai Deneb.

Sharon felt like she wanted to chew on foam.
