City of Witches Chapter 331
Even though Siwoo had returned to Gehenna for the first time in a while, his time to play with the Twins was severely lacking.
At most, they had all eaten dinner together and made a one-night, two-day trip to the beach—that was it.
The fundamental reason was that Odil and Odette had to handle a packed schedule every day.
They might seem to be playing around every day, but they were, after all, Apprentice Witches.
After faithfully following their daily schedule and completing their assignments, they suffered from a lack of free time, no less than a high school senior with prosecutor parents from Daechi-dong.
It was pitiful to see the Twins, who wanted to see him every day but couldn’t come.
And today, since they had come to visit him for the first time in a while, he felt sorry for not being able to play with them properly, so he even brought alcohol.
To be greeted with such a cute event…
Apart from feeling grateful, he couldn’t help but feel a little sorry.
“Master, this way.”
The place they arrived at, each pulling one of Siwoo’s wrists, was the reception room.
It was the same place where he had been caught during his late-night stroll with Odil and had a meeting with Count Gemernai.
“Master, sit here and wait. Odette!”
“Yes, I’ll bring it!”
After seating Siwoo on the sofa, Odette disappeared somewhere first.
“I was planning to entertain you today. This is really… something to feel sorry about. You even brought alcohol for the first time in a while.”
“What does the assistant have to feel sorry about? Don’t worry about it. Today, there’s a therapy session planned for the tired assistant.”
Odil, with a smug expression, smoothly flipped her hair.
It seemed the title “Master” hadn’t quite stuck to her tongue yet, as she kept slipping up.
Well, it’s not like there could be such a high-handed, haughty maid.
Still, it was quite adorable how she stubbornly tried to maintain the maid concept.
“Sister! I’m here!”
Odette, who had disappeared for a moment, returned carrying a large basin that looked like it could hold half her body.
Seeing the steam rising from it, it seemed to be filled with warm water.
“Here, give me your jacket, Master.”
“This seems quite serious.”
“Whenever we return from a hunt, the maids always do this for us. It’ll completely relieve your fatigue.”
Given the nature of the host bar, Siwoo’s attire was stylish but uncomfortable formal wear.
Odil, after removing his suit jacket, skillfully hung it on a hanger, then stood behind Siwoo and began kneading his shoulders.
Odette, grunting, placed the basin she had carried at Siwoo’s feet and removed his shoes and socks.
Then, she rolled up his pants and placed his feet in the basin.
“They say a lot of the body’s fatigue accumulates in the feet. So, soaking your feet after going out helps relieve fatigue! How is it? Is the water temperature okay?”
“Lady Odil, Lady Odette. You really don’t have to go this far…”
A massage was one thing.
But washing his feet too?
Until now, he had felt slightly sorry and grateful, but now he felt utterly undeserving.
“We’re doing this because we want to, you know?”
But Odette paid no heed.
Instead, crouching down with a serious expression, she washed his feet.
She scrubbed diligently, not only the top and soles of his feet but also between each toe with her small fingers.
Aside from the ticklish sensation, his body felt completely relaxed.
“I don’t like you apologizing, but I welcome you feeling proud. What man in the world has ever had the Apprentice Witches of the great House of Gemernai serve as maids?”
“I feel like I should do something too.”
“I said it’s fine~ If you so much as wiggle a finger, I’ll pour champagne in your eyes.”
“Yes.”
Along with the chilling threat, Odil continued kneading his shoulders, her small hands surprisingly strong.
“Feels good, right? Even the great Master praised it a lot.”
“Yes, I feel like I’m about to reach paradise.”
It wasn’t an exaggeration—it was genuinely comfortable.
Without lifting a finger, his neck and shoulders felt refreshed.
Moreover, soaking his feet right after taking off his shoes after work, with his legs stretched out…
It felt like being a father returning from overtime work on Parents’ Day.
A comfortable drowsiness floated above the deeply ingrained contentment.
“Master, even if you’re tired, hold on a little. The Gemernai Therapy Course isn’t over yet.”
“That’s right! It’s just the beginning, so you can’t fall asleep already!”
“Yes, yes, I’ll keep my mind alert.”
After about 15 minutes of massage and foot-soaking service, Odil and Odette dried his feet in unison and gave him slippers.
“Now, put these on and follow us!”
“We’ll guide you, so close your eyes tightly!”
“Oh, are we going somewhere while moving around?”
“You’ll find out soon. Just close your eyes first!”
“As you command.”
With a beaming smile, Siwoo followed the Twins’ lead.
-Creak!
The moment the door opened, even without opening his eyes, he knew where he was.
Because thick, hot steam hit his face.
“Now, open your eyes.”
“Wow.”
What greeted him when he opened his eyes was a bathroom boasting luxury comparable to a living room.
Of course, since the outpost base was closer to a townhouse, it didn’t have the overwhelming scale of the Gemernai Mansion’s bathroom or the Levana Grand Bathhouse.
But for Siwoo, who wasn’t accustomed to the culture of Gehenna’s wealthy, this level of luxury and comfort felt just right.
The former felt like bathing in a UNESCO cultural heritage site, after all.
“It’s a bathroom?”
Though he had expected it, he pretended to be surprised and gave an appropriate reaction.
“…….”
“…….”
But the Twins were silent.
Their previously friendly attitude was gone, replaced by a stiff, tense demeanor.
“Ahem.”
Odil cleared her throat and carefully began.
“From now on, we will… attend to Master’s bath.”
“It’s something a maid should do…!”
Having known the Twins for a long time and seen many sides of them, this reaction was a first.
What should he say?
The Twins, who always hosted events boldly and unilaterally, were now hesitating like this.
“But is it really okay?”
“Ah…”
Only after hearing Odil’s voice, which seemed to be gauging his reaction, did Siwoo grasp the situation.
Some time ago, Siwoo had subtly tried to draw a line with the Twins.
It was when they had applied oil on him at the beach.
At the time, he had felt guilty.
It felt terribly wrong to have his eyes wander elsewhere when he had a proper woman like Sharon close to him.
Especially since Sharon had nearly died in the past, having been attacked by a drowned Witch while trying to save Siwoo.
But he hadn’t been able to voice it.The Twins gave Siwoo even more than Sharon had.
Though the first button had merely been caught up in the Twins' innocent yet dangerous curiosity.
They became his second friends when he had no one to rely on but Takasho.
If the standard for losing one's virginity was the insertion of the male member into the female orifice on the lower body, then the Twins had technically taken his first experience as well.
And was that all?
They were the ones who had embraced him when he was weary and worn out, and they were the ones supporting this comfortable, easy life he now led.
His conscience pricked him at the thought of dismissing all that as merely two life debts.
But even if he hadn't brought it up, the surprisingly perceptive Twins must have sensed the atmosphere.
They remembered that time and were now carefully gauging Siwoo's mood.
Worried that a line might be drawn again.
Even while being so good to him, they were still being cautious.
"We know. To Assistant-nim... you already have Sharon unnie..."
"But our feelings for Assistant-nim are second to no one's!"
Odil and Odette firmly pressed their lips together and declared.
However, unlike their spirited voices, their eyes were filled with unease and worry.
The small, fern-like hands that had gently grabbed Siwoo's sleeves were also clenched tight.
What would happen from now on was unknown.
How Sharon would think about this matter.
What Odil and Odette thought about Siwoo's indecisive actions.
Frankly, he couldn't quite grasp it.
But what was before his eyes right now were Odil and Odette.
He didn't want to disappoint the two who always thought of him.
Not now, and not in the future.
"Odil-nim, Odette-nim."
The shoulders of the Twins, who had been staring at the floor without even properly meeting his eyes, trembled Simultaneously.
Like children about to hear the results of an important exam.
"Thank you. I'm truly always grateful."
"...Yeah, no, I'm the one who has so much to be thankful for."
"That's right, we are the ones who are much more grateful..."
Siwoo stretched out his arms and hugged them both.
A fragrant lilac scent mixed with their fresh body scent tickled his nose.
"I know this is an impudent thing to say, but... both of you are truly precious people to me."
"...Then?"
"I will never push you two away. Please treat me as comfortably as you do now. I'll try a little harder too. So that... things can be resolved smoothly in various ways."
The Twins' eyes widened.
And Simultaneously, they began spinning around Siwoo, jumping up and down.
Their joyful cries and appearance were exactly like indigenous people who had captured a large prey.
"Assistant-nim! Yes! Good thinking! Oh, right, this isn't the time! Odette, you're ready, right?"
"Yeah! Unnie! Assistant-nim, if you stand here with your arms spread, we'll change your clothes for you!"
"Yes! I'll be in your care!"
Odil and Odette, who almost slipped on the slippery bathroom floor, carried on like that for a while before finally reaching for Siwoo's clothes.
"You can't take a bath with your clothes on."
"Y-you have to take them off first!"
They were already at a stage where they had seen everything about each other.
Since long ago, from buttocks to breasts, even their secret orifices, everything had been openly revealed without any mosaic.
But perhaps because it had been a while, Odil's fingertips trembled slightly as she began unbuttoning Siwoo's shirt.
It felt unfamiliar and thrilling, almost like the first time.
One by one, the buttons came undone.
Siwoo's bare skin, now muscular from months of superhuman training since becoming a Spirit Body, was revealed.
A rosy blush spread across their cheeks as well.
"......"
"......"
The Twins, who had been so excited just moments ago, were now just blushing deeply, having become as silent as if they'd eaten honey.
The shirt came off, the belt was undone, the pants came off, and their hands reached his underwear.
"I can take this off myself."
"No! We said we'd do it for you!"
Odil's hand slapped Siwoo's hand away as he tried, somewhat awkwardly, to pull down his own underwear.
Having no choice but to relinquish control, when he was finally naked, the Twins neatly folded the removed clothes and placed them in a basket in the corner of the bathroom.
"Now, this way, Master."
"You can lie down comfortably here."
The place the now-naked Siwoo was guided to was a massage bed at the edge of the bathtub.
It was a wooden desk large enough for an adult man to lie face down, covered with several layers of large towels.
It seemed to be something the Twins had hastily put together with their heads together.
"Should I just lie face down?"
"Yeah, I tried lying on it, and it was soft, so it should be fine."
"Alright, then I'll accept your kindness without shame."
Ah.
This is nice.
He was somewhat looking forward to what they had prepared, and above all, with both body and mind at ease, it couldn't get any better than this.
"Unnie, this is... it feels too lewd... Assistant-nim's back is so cool."
"Shh, be quiet and get ready."
The Twins whispering loud enough to be heard from behind.
Odil and Odette stood on the left and right respectively and rolled up their sleeves.
"Now, then, let's start the massage!"
And so, the second service time began.
