City of Witches Chapter 47

Siwoo sat down with a complicated expression.

Odil, lounging sideways on the bed as if it were her own, looked around with curious eyes.

"It's my first time in a boy's room, but you keep it quite tidy."

"......."

Cigarette smoke, blooming like incense, drifted in puffs toward the window.

Only one thing occupied Siwoo's thoughts.

How could he send Odil back home without any danger?

Would it have been better to tell Count Gemernai everything, even if it meant taking some risk?

Being dragged around by the hair like this probably wouldn't lead to a good outcome.

It felt like watching a ticking time bomb rolling around right before his eyes.

"Assistant, are you angry or sulking?"

"Lady Odil. Please state your business first. I'd like to send you back as quickly as possible."

Would this mischievous twin sister listen if he got angry, annoyed, or threatened here?

It would be a bigger problem if a pointless argument dragged on and Amelia caught wind of it.

First, what Siwoo could take comfort in was that Amelia had never once entered this room past midnight.

And that the 'Song of Tranquility' was active.

He wasn't sure how effective it would be, but judging by the name, it was probably a magic that roughly reduced noise, right?

Odil sprang up and sat facing Siwoo.

Her bright, sparkling purple eyes shone like they held stars.

"Assistant, has Professor Amelia changed in any way lately?"

"Not at all."

"Hmm... really?"

"Is that why you came all the way here?"

Even though the Gemernai Count Family had a dedicated portal installed, allowing them to reach the Academy in 10 seconds, it still took another 10 minutes from the Academy's portal to Amelia's mansion.

Considering all the travel time involved, it must be quite a bothersome route.

"No, there's something else I wanted to ask."

Odil fumbled in her cloak and pulled out a book.

Frankly, Siwoo couldn't comprehend Odil's audacity.

"Lady Odil, may I ask you something as well?"

"Of course. I acted rudely too, but you accepted it, Assistant."

Should this even be called rude?

"Well... aren't you bothered at all, Lady Odil?"

"By what?"

"We had that incident the other day, didn't we?"

That's right.

It wasn't just about admiring Odil's lower half naked; he had inserted his cock into her anus and ejaculated.

When Odil regained consciousness, she was so embarrassed she almost fainted.

But looking at Odil now, there wasn't the slightest hint that she was concerned about that incident.

"Ah, that? You're still worried about that?"

"How can you just brush it off like it's nothing?"

"That happened because the potion's effect was misapplied, right?"

"But it was still an unfortunate incident."

"When you explore the world, unexpected accidents happen here and there. If you fear and are ashamed of failures and mistakes, how can you become a good witch?"

In response to Siwoo's words, Odil shrugged her shoulders, pretending it was nothing.

The reason he could tell she was 'pretending' was because her cheeks, illuminated by the pale moonlight, were faintly flushed.

"You're a model witch."

"Of course, of course."

Odil giggled and nodded at Siwoo's half-exasperated compliment.

Her innocent eyes with distinct double eyelids were dangerously captivating.

He remembered the moment when those clear eyes had been clouded with lust at such an unexpected time.

"Anyway, it actually turned out well. Until now, I felt a certain level of embarrassment when dealing with you, Assistant."

"Really? I never noticed..."

"But since we've already experienced something extreme, there's no need to hesitate anymore."

Strangely, Odil's face was gradually turning redder.

"Anyway, so what I wanted to ask!"

"......?"

"Actually, I masturbated tonight. But something came up that I don't understand, so I came to check. You're older than me, Assistant."

Her tone was as casual as talking about what she had for dinner, so it took Siwoo quite a while to sense the oddity in Odil's words.

"I read an erotic book and fiddled down there like Odette did. It felt good right away."

"Ah, yes..."

It was a bizarre situation.

An apprentice witch visiting his room in the middle of the night, and that apprentice witch detailing her masturbation experience—wasn't that somewhat perverse?

"So then I tried putting a finger in the back too. It didn't feel good at all. It actually hurt. I'm really curious why that is."

Send her back.

Having been entangled with the twins several times before, Siwoo could foresee that this flow was definitely not good.

If he continued having this and that conversation with Odil, he'd probably get caught up in some absurd pretext or end up in an annoying situation due to trivial excuses.

"I'll answer you, but then you have to leave. The anus isn't a place meant for feeling pleasure. Even if you masturbate, it shouldn't feel good."

"But I also... before... felt... good?"

Suddenly, Odil hugged Siwoo's blanket, covering her face with it, and mumbled.

Over the blanket covering her straight nose bridge, the whites of Odil's eyes were visible, wide open like a cautious puppy's.

"Pardon...?"

"After drinking the Potion of Eros, when we did it in the back with you, Assistant, it felt good. See? That's weird, right?"

Siwoo was convinced.

Even though Odil outwardly claimed to have overcome her embarrassment, saying it wasn't a big deal, the reality was different.

She was extremely bashful, yet undeterred, in a state of sexual curiosity.

"So the conclusion I reached is that it felt good because there were two people."

Well, that was obvious.

Even for Siwoo, receiving a handjob felt much better than jerking off alone.

"If you've already reached a conclusion, is there anything left to ask me?"

Here was an apprentice witch saying, 'Anal masturbation alone wasn't great, but anal sex with you was awesome!'

In this awkward situation, he was simply at a loss for what to do.

"Actually, I'm done asking. There's something I want to request."

"I won't do it, it's not possible, please go back."

He cut her off decisively.

Then, Odil threw the blanket onto the bed and placed her hands on her hips.

"A slave dares to refuse an order from me, Odile Gemernai?"

Odil glared, eyes wide, laying down the law.Even if I wouldn't have known before, now that I understand the Twins' tendencies, it's not particularly scary anymore.

"Yes, I'll refuse."

"Hmph."

Odil pouted her lips as her shoulders, which had been proudly raised high, slumped down completely.

Honestly, I think forcing Siwoo any further than this would be too unreasonable a request.

After all, he seems to be considering going to find the Master directly.

Just imagining the punishment that would fall when the strict Master learns of the Twins' transgression is frightening.

But I didn't feel like threatening him either.

It might have been okay when I was half-jokingly exploiting his weakness, but threatening to expose that he's researching escape magic while he's stubbornly refusing like this would completely destroy our relationship.

Even if I could have him do as I want, it wouldn't be as interesting a relationship as it is now.

"Then, let's do this."

Odil said, sticking up one finger.

Her actions seemed exactly like she was imitating Amelia.

"Just put one finger in. I need to verify my theory."

Put a finger in Odil's clean backside that had just been receiving his hot, sticky cock?

Although it was a proposal any man would be tempted by, Siwoo's resolve was firm.

He pressed his lips into a straight line and shook his head.

Odil quickly crossed her arms.

"Alright, then let's do this."

"Whether you do this or that, I won't do it. Please, for heaven's sake, go back, Odil-nim."

"No, listen. This time, even Assistant-nim will definitely be interested."

Odil reached into the cloak she had taken off earlier and fumbled around for something.

Actually, Odil had anticipated Siwoo's vehement refusal.

The countermeasure for that couldn't possibly be just empty sweet talk.

"If you accept my two proposals, I'll give you this."

In her hand was a music box the size of a palm.

The intricate, small mechanical device made of brass was carefully covered with a glass lid.

"What is this?"

With five years of experience as a Slave of the Witch City.

At a glance, it looked like something that would be used as a child's toy, but I could sense something unusual about it.

"Assistant-nim, you said you're planning to escape the Witch City, right?"

"That's correct."

Siwoo answered with an awkward expression.

Could she possibly be trying to threaten me with that?

"You didn't think everything would be perfect just by escaping, did you?"

"I'm also researching a Magic Circle to evade pursuit."

"I don't know what level it is, but that alone will be difficult. If someone is determined to pursue you, you'll be caught in no time."

As Odil said, escaping Gehenna doesn't mean you become completely free.

In fact, wasn't Siwoo someone who had been captured once in the modern world?

It wouldn't be strange if that happened two or three more times.

Therefore, Siwoo had been researching ways to shake off pursuit in advance.

Though he was still focusing his efforts on the escape Magic Circle.

"It's the bargaining material I prepared for Assistant-nim like that."

Odil shook the music box in front of Siwoo's eyes.

Looking closely, the music box's spring was turning very slowly.

"This is a music box that plays the 'Song of Tranquility' semi-permanently. Want to see?"

Odil cleared her throat once, opened her mouth, and shouted loudly.

"I, Odile Gemernai, am the greatest Witch in Gehennaaaaa!!!"

It was by no means a small sound.

A loud and noisy shout that would echo not only through Amelia's room but throughout the mansion.

Siwoo felt goosebumps rising and hurriedly covered Odil's mouth.

"What, what are you doing all of a sudden!"

"Ugh, ugh..."

Odil, struggling in Siwoo's embrace, barely managed to remove his palm.

"Tsk, just wait and see."

Even as 10 seconds passed, then 20, then 30, there was no change.

Amelia didn't show her face, and the birds that had been dozing off in the trees outside the window remained quiet.

"How do you think Odette and I sneak out to Taro Town every time? It's all thanks to this music box."

"It's an Artifact."

"Yes, and a top-grade one containing Magnetic Magic at that. It could probably easily handle a mansion of this size."

Objects that contain Magic and can use Magic.

Among them, items that aren't one-time use like Amelia's Fragrance are called Artifacts, and due to their rarity and usefulness, they're precious things that command high prices.

With the sole determination to somehow seduce Siwoo, Odil began earnestly explaining about the music box.

"Speaking of this music box, it's a very expensive Artifact optimized for infiltration and stealth.

First, just holding this prevents the user's sound from leaking beyond 5 meters.

It completely erases the presence of magic power and distances you from the awareness of those around you.

Plus, it doesn't leave footprints, you know? If you stole with this, you could probably become the world's greatest phantom thief?"

According to Odil's additional explanation, it was a high-performance Artifact to the point where even Siwoo could tell at a glance that it sounded unbelievable.

It erases your appearance from records like cameras, recorders, surveillance cameras, etc.

It has a small self-generator installed, so just winding the spring makes it operate 24/7, 365 days a year.

Also, adjusting the control gear on the side allows detailed settings for the effective range and time effects, so with just this, it seemed like countermeasures after escape could be perfectly resolved.

"In other words, just carrying this makes a perfect reclusive life possible after escape."

At this level, there's nothing to lose.

Siwoo gulped.

"Is it really okay to put such a precious thing up for trade?"

"It's fine, the Master gave one to Odette and one to me. Even if I lose one, I can just say I sold it because I needed pocket money."

Seeing that Siwoo seemed to like it very much, Odil could finally smile confidently.

"Feeling like making a deal?"

"Alright."

Author's Note (Author's Afterword)

Just as Odil is becoming cute and lovable, Amelia is also planned to slowly change, so please wait patiently

For the time being, it's Twins time
