Chapter 204 – #45_Those Who Almost Lost (3)

#202

One.
Like Sharon’s first encounter with the film, her twin’s reaction was great.
A romance movie that is screened with a quality that makes it possible to count the number of pores on the actors.
As it is a work famous for its visual beauty, it caught the attention of the twins.
The twins, who were clinging to Siwoo, concentrated on shutting his chattering mouth until the screening.

So, about 15 minutes?

“Coo…..”
“Gorolong…”

Sharon picked up the remote and turned off the TV.
The full-fledged story development was just about to begin when the twins snored.

“I’m guessing someone isn’t a twin.”
“Yeah… It’s really amazing. They fall asleep at the same time without even a second difference. Jo has the same tempo.”

All-in-one pajama that needs to be put in from the legs like a doll mask.
Oddly enough, the twins, wearing pajamas that matched their personalities, were lying on the sofa and sleeping soundly before they knew it.

Well, considering today’s schedule and events, I was tired.
There was a lot of mental exhaustion like this and that, as well as physically.
In particular, Odette, who went for a night walk through a typhoon late in the morning yesterday, is able to endure so far.

“What’s wrong, it’s so cute. Shouldn’t you say something like this? But how cute…”

Sharon said she was making a girly face when she saw a very small and cute cat.
A hand that covered her mouth in a feminine way around her mouth gathered in front of her.
Even the eyes that were so bright that I almost cried.
Siwoo carefully removed his arm so as not to wake the twins.

“Uh-uh-uh…”

Odil and Odette also frown their eyebrows in their sleep and hold onto their sleeves.
Still, she didn’t wake up.

“Sleep well.”
“Yeah, I can’t sleep here… I’ll have to move to my room.”
“Can I help you too?”
“No, I can do this by myself.”
“Oh~ Siwoo, you’ve become special.”

Siu took out a ribbon and weaved it round and round to make it look like his hammock.
These days, it is worthwhile to use special training in her real life.
The number of ribbons that can be used at the same time has increased to two, and it is now possible to weave complex shapes like this.

Thinking about getting beaten up because of that misunderstanding today, I feel a bit unfair, but…
Don’t overcomplicate things, as now you can deliver safely without waking up the twins.

I laid the sleeping twins side by side like angels, covered their necks with a blanket, closed the door, and left.
Both of them tossed and turned for a while, but they didn’t wake up once and slept well hugging each other.
When she came out, Sharon sat on her sofa, watching the TV, which was turned off, shaking her legs gently.

“What are you doing there?”
“Just sit down.”

Sharon, who had been quiet for a while, looked at Siwoo and smiled.

“What is this all of a sudden? Be kind.”
“It just reminded me of Miss Odile and Miss Odette. Aren’t they so cute?”
“Right.”

If Odile and Odette also become witches with years of experience, will she become a majestic witch like Count Myrna?
To be honest, I couldn’t imagine her well from what I’ve seen so far.

“At first, I thought it would be very scary. It may be a prejudice, but why is it there? That that…”
“From the outside, it reminds me of a noble lady who grew up on Onya Onya. It seems like she’s going to argue over the taste of tea for no reason. Like throwing her handkerchief in her face.”
“That’s right!”

As if the expression was appropriate, Sharon clapped her hands and liked it.

“Anyway, it was a little bit because of that feeling. It’s so pretty, and it’s so soft. It makes me want to take her and make her my little sister.”
“Aren’t you going to be pretty tired then? I know because I suffered.”

There’s no denying that twins are cute and pretty, but they’re so pure…
It’s hard to sympathize with Siwoo, who was caught in the weakness of the fantastic teamwork of the two.
Now, he jokes around with thehahahoho twins, but when his weakness was first discovered, Siwoo felt chills running down his spine.

“I’m going to smoke some cigarettes, but what about you? Are you going to watch a movie?”
“No, I will prepare well. I think I slept a lot after meeting you. I hardly ever slept.”
“It’s good to clear your head without thinking.”
“Is not it.”

I tapped her on the head and ended the conversation roughly, then went up to the roof.
Even though the typhoon had passed, the night air was still heavy with moisture.
The only good thing is that there is a cool breeze blowing.
He lit a cigarette and smoke filled his lungs.

“Whoa…”

He didn’t do anything, his eyes stinged.
I was tired, probably because my body was under a lot of strain.
Psychological trauma cannot be ruled out.

I’ve seen so many people die, no, slaughtered, even though they’re not veterans or soldiers.
On the contrary, it is suspicious that he can go over this level calmly.

If you usually watch a movie, don’t you throw up, have nightmares, and go wild just by witnessing a murder scene?
Siwoo suddenly realized his apathy and was seized with a strange feeling.

-Tee-ring-t-ring

The phone rang.
A contact I received a long time ago, but never contacted first.
It was Deneb Zemanai.

“Yes, I answered the phone.”
[Are you feeling better? Oh, please put it there]

If you see the noise around you, ‘Oh, please put it there’ probably isn’t what you’re saying to me.
The reason why the twins were neglected in the officetel even after such a big incident.
Deneb told me it was because she was busy trying to sort things out.

“You have a lot of trouble until late.”
[There is no such thing as suffering because you receive and do everything you have to receive. How are the twins?]
“Yes, you just ate and drank to your heart’s content, and now you are sleeping soundly.”
[Are you not particularly scared or anxious?]

Here, ‘Yes, not at all. Rather than saying, “He collapsed from exhaustion after eating.”

“They said they wanted to see the Count a lot. I think you should come soon.”

It would be better to answer
It’s flattery with thoughts of the old days.

Hehe, those mischievous people are me? There is an assistant next to me who sang a round song saying that I miss you so much? It can’t be. You’re sly]
Haha.”

Her intentions were immediately understood, but Deneb’s tired voice gave off a loose laugh.
I think this is a success.
For a moment, Yora heard Deneb’s voice and the noise around her subsided a bit.

[The reason I contacted you separately is not because of the twins]
“Yes, please.”
[Thank you again for bringing the twins back safely. I’m blessed]

Actually, unlike the last time, I wonder if it would have made a big difference this time, even if the twins were by my side…
Deneb seems to be grateful for Siwoo’s decisive action.

[If I go on like this without any compensation, my face will not be lost. Is there anything in particular you want?]
“No, I don’t really need anything. Just what you already gave me… Ah.”
[I seem to remember something]

Come to think of it, among Sharon’s creditors is the Jemani family.
Considering Sharon’s reaction, who caused a match just by looking at Jemonai’s ring, wouldn’t it be that a fairly large amount of the 50 billion debt was borrowed from the Gemanai family?

“No. Can I tell you later?”

But I didn’t even ask Sharon’s doctor.
The Jemani family is already receiving a lot of support.
It didn’t look very good to talk about such a big money problem because it was such a trivial thing as this time.
Later, when the opportunity arises, we should discuss it with each other.

[Well, I’m not free right now, so I’ll ask a formal question next time]

Seeing as if he was about to hang up, Siu asked urgently.

“Can I ask you one question, Count?”
[Yes]
“Do you know why I’m dealing with Ea Sadalmelik’s magnetic magic…?”
[Haa… I really didn’t know that myself. Rather, it is a question I wanted to ask]

It can’t be solved that easily either.
However, it is impossible to ask Deneb, who seems to be busy, to put his head together and think about it.

“Yes, you are busy, but I am very sorry.”
[What, if anything happens, please feel free to contact me]

After that, the call was disconnected.
The cigarette had burned to near the filter at some point and was giving off disgusting smoke.
Siwoo suddenly paid a moment of silence for the innocent people who suffered today.
Somehow I feel like that should be the case.

“Let’s go back and sleep.”

Siwoo, who shook off his depression with it and stretched himself, stiffened in that posture.
This is because a witch suddenly appeared on the rooftop where there were no people.

“……..”

The person who mistook Siwoo for Ea today and hit the Bungkwon with terrifying momentum.
He was the Duke of Eloa Tiphareth.
She was looking at Siwoo with an expression that didn’t know what she was thinking without saying anything.

Chills shriveled my balls, and goose bumps like chickens.
Seeing his spine grow chilly, Siwoo opened his mouth first.

“Hey, I’m sorry, but if you’re going to hit me again, please avoid the liver. I’ve been drinking a lot lately, so my liver isn’t good.”

At the same time, is it because of the sudden strong fighting spirit?
Or did the liver get swollen in the process of recovering from a broken liver?

Siwoo was spitting out such absurd words without even realizing it.
Even speaking to himself, he was embarrassed.

“……..”

It was around the time when I was trembling over a slip of the tongue that was close to being sarcasm or provocation to be a joke.
The duke, dressed in white, pressed his lips together and glared at Siwoo.
However, there is no poison in the first place.
It was a wavering eye, unsure of where to go.

“Who are you…?”

As I heard half a day ago, it was a thin, high-pitched tone.
Aside from his clenched fists, which were clenched like snow crabs in season, he was weak and seemed about to collapse at any moment.

It was Tiphareth who almost hurt Sharon and cut Siu halfway.
I thought you’d want to pour out swear words as you see…

Seeing the weak figure reflected behind the cold mask and the precarious atmosphere that seemed like it would crumble if touched, Siwoo unknowingly held back his words.
It’s not like Siwoo would become an opponent if he jumped at him in a fit of rage.

“Contract.”

But he belatedly realized that this was not the time for relaxed compassion.
Eloa raised her sword in the air and chanted her incantation.
It was a beautiful sword with 12 unknown characters engraved on its side.

“Bloom!”

The twins said the misunderstanding was resolved, but was it a mistake to believe it straight away?
Come to think of it, not only Deneb, but even Siu himself didn’t know why he was using Ea’s ribbon or the Duke’s apprentice witch’s magnetism magic.
There was no room for an explanation in the first place.

And the opponent is a great witch among great witches.
She’s gotten a bit stronger lately, but she’s a witch of the 23rd rank who can pop Siwoo like an earthworm.

Siwoo was trying to survive with the black armor wrapped around her body.
Eloa threw her sword at Siu’s feet and put it down.

But you can’t be sure of that.
Didn’t she confirm half a day ago that she could send her Siwoo into the goal with her bare fists?

“I have no intention of fighting right now.”

Knowing that, she obediently raised both of her hands.
What do you mean by ‘right now’?
Even if we fight after a while, getting beaten up is all the same.
Cold sweat broke out on her.

“I just want to ask. Who are you?”

And Siwoo saw a very, very powerful manifestation of magical power through her eyepatch.
She had never seen it in her life, and her dense magical power emanated from the duke’s mouth.

Language.
A magic that forms the moment the caster’s will is exhaled.
The advanced magic called Dragon Word was being implemented right in front of my eyes.

Resonating with the Duke’s command, three of the letters engraved on the sword shone.
The letters spread all at once and wrapped around Siu and Eloa.

“I want to sign a contract. It’s a contract where you can ask each other 3 questions and you can’t tell lies. Would you agree?”

Fortunately, it’s not the kind of magic that makes you feel hostile like she said.

“If there was such a convenient thing, I wish you would have written it first…”

Siwoo was a little embarrassed.
If it had been used earlier, Siwoo wouldn’t have been beaten up, and Sharon wouldn’t have been nearly hurt.
Of course, this would be a story when the misunderstanding was sufficiently resolved with this magic.

She raised her hand and placed her hand on the string shimmering around Siwoo.
At the same time, I felt an unknown, intangible force entangle my body.
It was a completely different feeling from the poem of confession.
Unlike confession poems that unilaterally force confession, as much as the subject asked for consent, a strong deterrent could be felt.

“I agree.”

The hearing was held in the middle of the night.
