City of Witches Chapter 305

It was after dinner.

As long as Count Gemernai and Galina's surveillance existed, the Twins' movements were restricted.

After all, they still had their schedule before bedtime: a clean bath and paying respects to their Master.

Moreover, today, Count Gemernai expressed a desire to hear the Twins' piano duet, so the Twins had no choice but to be taken by the Count to the recital hall.

All while casting lingering, foolishly longing glances at Siwoo.

In contrast, Sharon was, in name, a full-fledged guest.

As long as she wasn't caught, she was free to go anywhere, anytime.

Even if that place was Siwo's quarters.

Sharon tiptoed into the annex.

She saw Siwo, carrying his bathing supplies, heading into the communal bathhouse.

If she followed him now, she could probably have another blissful time.

"Haa... Should I go? Or not?"

But Sharon had at least a shred of decency.

She had vowed, 'From now on, I'll just ignore everything and do what I want!'

However, that didn't mean the Contract had disappeared.

She had just been treated to a splendid meal under the pretext of being a guest of the Count's household. Acting shamelessly without any restraint made her moral compass spin wildly.

"I said I'd keep a reasonable distance, but..."

She could at least use the excuse that yesterday's home run was due to their long-awaited reunion, but two days in a row of sex felt a bit much.

But still...

"I still want to be with him..."

It didn't even have to be sex.

Just watching a movie with Siwo or having a sweet, intimate conversation would be satisfying enough.

"Right, let's just talk, just talk."

Muttering to herself, as if to no one in particular, Sharon decided to wait in Siwo's room in advance.

Each room in the annex of the Gemernai Mansion where Siwo and Eloa stayed had its own shower, but perhaps due to architectural limitations or inefficiency, there was only one bathing pool large enough to soak in, located on the first floor of the annex.

Although smaller than a neighborhood bathhouse, its facilities were on par with the Levana Grand Bathhouse she had visited before.

In the bathtub, from which the fragrant scent of steeping tea leaves rose, Siwo was sweating profusely in the warmth.

"Ahhh, this feels gooood~"

An echo reverberated in the bathhouse filled with pleasant, billowing steam.

He could feel the fatigue accumulated from running around since dawn being refreshingly washed away.

Leaning his head against the edge of the tub, he felt he could fall asleep any moment.

"By the way... Master didn't have dinner either."

During dinner, when it was decided they would have a picnic at the beach tomorrow.

Siwo had gone to escort Eloa, but her door was firmly locked.

The response he received was, 'I am fine. You go ahead first.'

It seemed things had indeed become awkward due to Siwo's words this morning.

Tiferet exuded an aura of a solemn, well-honed warrior, but Siwo knew well.

That she was actually incredibly shy.

Having blurted out in front of his bashful Master, 'Having sex with you was truly the best, Master. I'll cherish it as a good memory!' he could pretty much guess her reaction.

Perhaps he should have just stayed quiet and taken the middle ground.

He couldn't help feeling he'd made things worse by clumsily trying to imitate Takasho.

"Time will probably resolve it."

Thinking that it was a problem they would have had to address eventually anyway made him feel rather at ease.

If he took her to the beach tomorrow and had a calm conversation, they could probably return to their original relationship.

Feeling relaxed both physically and mentally led to such optimistic thoughts.

When he began to feel slightly dizzy, he got out of the tub, dried himself with a fluffy towel, and headed to his room.

As expected, Eloa's door right next to his was firmly shut.

Whatever the case, Siwo thought he must have a proper conversation with her tomorrow.

As soon as he opened his door and entered, a person sitting on the living room sofa greeted him.

"Huh? Sharon."

"Hehe, Siwoo! I came to visit!"

It was Sharon, who had maintained a subtly cold distance even during today's meal.

Gone was that demeanor; Sharon, who came running over with a bright smile, showed not a trace of shadow on her face.

If Sharon had a tail, it would have been wagging vigorously from side to side.

"I missed you!"

"We just saw each other a while ago."

Suddenly spreading her arms, Sharon pulled Siwo into a tight hug.

A pleasant fragrance that dangerously filled his nostrils.

He had felt it during sex yesterday; perhaps because Sharon's Hierarchy had improved by leaps and bounds, just smelling her body scent made self-control difficult.

"Hey, hey, that tickles."

Sharon, nestled in his embrace, buried her nose in his clothes and sniffed.

"Haa, hmm, haa... Siwo, you smell so good..."

"How did the young lady who seemed like a stray cat when I first saw her become like this?"

His first impression of Sharon was that she seemed quite pessimistic and cynical.

Frankly, he felt unnecessarily intimidated every time he went to buy cigarettes at the convenience store.

Probably because of those dark greenish hair and slightly upturned eyes.

"What about now?"

Now that he thought about it...

"You're like an obedient puppy."

Sharon released her arms from the hug, looked him straight in the eyes, and smiled brightly.

Her shining cyan eyes within the pretty crescent-shaped curve of her eyelids.

He always felt it; every time he met her gaze, it felt refreshing right down to his chest.

"So Siwo made me into a puppy?"

"You were very much like a puppy in bed, though."

"Huh? Are you making sex jokes anytime now?"

"Didn't you start it?"

"Right! Sniff sniff."

Sharon, imitating a puppy, brought her nose close to various parts of Siwo and sniffed.

At Sharon's natural aegyo, Siwo finally burst out laughing.

After a brief welcoming ritual, they set up a simple drinking table in the living room.

What other pastimes were there in Gehenna besides drinking and chatting?

It wasn't like they could watch movies or dramas.

"You came to visit?"

"Yeah, it just felt like we talked too little compared to meeting again after so long yesterday."

"We didn't have time. There was the banquet right after."

"Right, so I came to see you like this."

Since coming to Gehenna, Sharon had been dressing in fancy dresses.

She said Countess Gemernai provided them to help maintain dignity.

When Siwo first saw Sharon in a dress, he was very surprised.

Sharon was pretty, but when she wore Mortal Realm clothes and wandered around, there was at least a familiar atmosphere.As Sharon put on the dress, it created a synergy with her haughty appearance, giving off a queen-like aura.

"Anyway, to celebrate our proper reunion... cheers!"

Sharon crossed her legs as she extended her wine glass.

The hem of her skirt rose, revealing her smooth thighs.

Every time I see them, I'm struck by how truly pale they are.

If you actually touched them, they'd feel incredibly soft and supple in your hand.

"......"

Unlike the combination of dolphin shorts and a tank top, this was a modest outfit that properly covered the areas that should be covered.

But Sharon's stunning figure pierced through even those clothes and captured Siwoo's gaze.

Breasts that sat right on the borderline of being both large and shapely, a waist that the fabric clung to in a cinched manner, and healthy, deer-like legs...

Under the subtle silence and gaze, Sharon uncrossed her legs and sat with her knees pressed tightly together.

"Um, Siwoo. I'm a bit... today. Duke Tiferet is right in the next room, you know."

Sharon trailed off as if embarrassed, but her voice and eyes were already moist.

A tempting aura swirled around her, as if begging to be devoured.

"It's fine, we have the music box."

I can't hold back.

Feeling my already quickened heartbeat, I took off my shirt and lifted Sharon up.

"Oh my... we shouldn't be doing this..."

She pretended to resist but still clung to me.

I laid Sharon on the bed and slowly undressed her.

Sharon waited demurely for Siwoo's touch, in a posture that seemed to say 'take me.'

The two passionately kissed.

Meanwhile, at that moment, Eloa.

Eloa was holed up in her room, groaning.

She was suffering mentally after hearing Siwoo's shocking statement this morning.

That perverted declaration that it was actually better to show them having sex.

From the intent behind those words to his true feelings, she couldn't properly guess any of it.

Whether he truly thought that way, or whether he was taking the blame to consider Eloa's feelings—she couldn't even begin to guess.

She couldn't even bring herself to look at his face, so she didn't join them for dinner tonight.

But after two hours of cold water therapy and recalling Siwoo's usual character, Eloa hardened her heart in one direction.

Siwoo couldn't be like that.

Of course, once he gets into sex, he seems like a completely different person, but he wouldn't have such a perverted sexual preference.

The admirable Siwoo told a white lie to prevent Eloa from feeling embarrassed!

That left the question, 'Why didn't he stop when he realized he was being watched?' but Eloa's trust in Siwoo was quite blind.

She decided not to dig deeper and to believe in Siwoo.

As Eloa was contemplating meeting Siwoo, who would be returning from his bath, to spend some cozy time together, the sound of footsteps reached her ears.

-Click clack

The sound of high heels.

Between the hallway and Eloa, there was one bedroom door and one room door—two walls in total—but identifying who it was wasn't difficult at all.

Footsteps are like fingerprints, differing from person to person based on weight, height, stride, and habits.

The footsteps, which seemed to pace briefly in front, disappeared along with the sound of Siwoo's door opening.

Countless question marks popped up above Eloa's head.

Miss Evergreen? In Siwoo's room?

Why???

"It can't be..."

With things piling up, numerous suspicions arose.

But it couldn't be.

Originally, Siwoo and Sharon were very close, and visiting each other's rooms wasn't that big of a deal.

-Thump thump

Soon after, the sound of Siwoo's footsteps returning from his bath was heard, followed by the sound of a door closing.

The murmuring voices of the two exchanging light greetings drifted over.

'Did Siwoo turn me into a dog?'

'You were very much like a dog in bed.'

'My, my? Are you making sex jokes anytime now?'

'Didn't you start it?'

After a moment of hesitation, Eloa left the bedroom and went out to the living room.

She decided to head to a place where she could hear better.

To be honest, what plunged Eloa into agony yesterday wasn't just the fact that she got wet watching Siwoo and Sharon's sexual scene.

Just like when she thought he might have had a secret meeting with Periwinkle.

After secretly watching him have sex with Sharon, a subtle discomfort also coexisted.

It suddenly came to mind.

That Periwinkle wasn't the only one who had been with Siwoo.

That from the beginning, Sharon Evergreen, who was endlessly close to being his lover, was by his side.

Eloa rationalized that this, too, was due to her strong desire for exclusivity over her disciple, but beyond that, her curiosity was also greatly piqued.

When the two were left alone.

She wondered what kind of conversation they would exchange.

And so, Eloa, holding her breath, listened intently.

The content itself was ordinary.

It was everyday talk.

Staying at the Gemarnai Mansion feels like being royalty.

Are the Twins' lessons going well?

I heard a friend opened a shop in Renomond Town.

As Eloa eavesdropped on these trivial exchanges, she felt pangs of conscience but was inwardly relieved.

Until she heard a sound that suddenly turned suggestive.

A word from the author (author's note)

Master is aging...

Just in case, I'm mentioning this: there's no Takasho ts.

(Not just in the Witch's City, but I have no plans to use ts in the future either)

NTR also won't give off even the slightest hint.
