Chapter 233 – #52_Training (3)

#231

One.
After closing the door on the roof, Eloah headed home quickly.
As if a patient suffering from an asthma attack is looking for medicine, he hurriedly pulls out a bottle of alcohol from the cupboard.
With a gulp, the 52-degree strong liquor passed like water.

“Fufu…”

Even that didn’t calm her down, so she washed her face with cold water in the bathroom.
I washed my face so hard that her bangs were soaked, but I still feel puzzled.

“What is this…”

Her embarrassment made her head spin.
No other reason.
It’s because of the misfortune she had in the last couple.

The training and sparring, which lasted for 12 hours every day, proceeded in a fairly monotonous pattern.
1) Siwoo tries something.
2) Eloah blocks it.
3) Correct problems and improvements.
4) Return to 2) until the points pointed out are improved.

The quickest and best way to improve your skills was, of course, sparring.
Although it may not be as intense as the real battle, there was no change in terms of ‘learning how to move the body’.
Furthermore, Siwoo did not settle for one method and prepared various strategies for each class, so the efficiency was good.

Seeing what else Siwoo had seen yesterday, he tried to take down again today in Dalian.
Effort and spirit of challenge were imaginary, but they were clumsy attacks that were hard to deal with as part of Elroa, and also shouldn’t have been deliberately dealt with.
Planting the experience that such an immature attack worked for itself risks having an adverse effect later on.

Still, if you’ve been preparing so hard.
She thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to show off what she had prepared in the last match.
Seeing her admirable appearance that she did not give in even though she went out and fell several times, she decided that she should be a little fooled.
Of course, he would have told them later that submitting a spiritual body that had been strengthened with magical power was a bad option.

The moment when Siwoo gave up his back and clung to him.
Looking back, I recalled that moment that wasn’t that long.
Coincidentally, it was the same posture as a back hug.

Because of the height difference between the two, Siu was able to place his chin on top of Eloa’s head.
At that time, the hard and hard part of his body that he felt on his back, and the heat felt even through his clothes…

“That…..”

Needless to say, it was a male genital organ.
It was also a hardened male organ with a lot of blood, just like when he had sex with Sharon.
In addition, the sound of breathing that tickled my ears was different from when it was simply rough due to sparring.
Should I say a little more primitive, a little more visceral?
Anyway, it was a breathing sound I had never heard or felt before.

“You’re out of your mind…”

Elroa caressed her back for no reason and shook her head.
No matter how much Eloah knows nothing about her relationship with a man, she knows ‘when does a man get an erection?’
Isn’t it an important class that should not be missed at Trinity Academy?

This is when you feel sexual arousal.

Of course, erections sometimes occur spontaneously, and sometimes enlarge suddenly when you need to urinate.
Unfortunately for Siu, however, such precise knowledge was not in Eloa’s head.

“I can’t.”

Eloah jumped up and took off her clothes.
At this rate, her confused head won’t calm down.
Thinking that it would be better to take a bath and wash her body and mind, she filled her bathtub with water and went in with her drink.
With a towel on her head to keep her hair dry, she ponders in the warm water.

“….Ha…”

A sigh imbued with the energy of hot alcohol causes ripples on the surface of the water.

Spending the last few days with him gave Elroa a sense of serenity that was unsuitable for her.
She wakes up from her sleep still tossing and turning in her nightmares, and sometimes she sits clutching her chest, thinking of Raffy…
Still, little by little it is changing.

The daily life, which was only stained with regret and sighing, turned into a sinab.
Just as my frozen ground melts in the warm spring sun and creates a silent green revolution.

She shed fewer tears alone.
Instead, I smiled a lot.
Since Raffy left, she has had days to cook in the kitchen where she never stood and enjoy a meal while sitting at her table.
Instead of pouring alcohol to forget her pain, she had time to savor the taste and aroma of alcohol.

I know why.
It was because Tiphareth was projecting Raffi onto Siu.
It is because she can go back through him to the days when a smile rises on her lips just by thinking about it.

When she trains with him, when she eats with him, when she drinks with him.
Eloah was able to forget her suffering.
For that, she felt very much gratitude to Siu.

Although we haven’t officially had a teacher-teacher relationship yet, I still thought of her as a cute disciple.
On the contrary, I thought that Siu would also consider Elroa her teacher.
But…

“Did she think of me as a woman…?”

It was shockingly unexpected.
In the first place, Eloa has no contact with her men.
Naturally, she had never seriously considered the relationship between a man and a woman, and had no other experience.

Therefore, instead of joy, displeasure, or contempt, Siwoo was looking at him with those eyes, and only felt embarrassed.
If I had to compare it, the strange-looking golden scarab clings to my clothes and I can’t shake it off, but it feels like I can’t catch it?

Not.
The more you compare, the more you don’t know.
Eloah took a sip of her drink and went on with the rest of her thoughts.

“However….”

We know that Siwoo is sincere, affectionate, and possesses a kind personality.
Therefore, although he cares for Siu very much, he has never considered him more than a disciple.
If Siwoo harbors feelings of admiration for him… His heart is grateful, but he has no choice but to refuse.

“Wait… Come to think of it…”

How to say no so he doesn’t get hurt.
One fact passed through Eloa’s mind as she wondered whether it would be better to go over it naturally, as if she didn’t notice it like she did today.

Yes.
Siwoo is already in a romantic relationship with Sharon as well!
A deepening problem suddenly fell in front of Elroa, who did not even have basic knowledge about ‘love’.
She’s not even that drunk, but her eyes seem to be spinning.

Elroa picked her fingers one by one and organized them.

Do you have feelings for Eloah while you are already dating Sharon?

It didn’t just end with the problem that Eloah was in trouble.
When she was an apprentice witch, she took lessons from Miss Sua, and she also learned about proper male and female grooming.
Even considering that Sua’s teachings are slightly behind the times, it is morally and ethically wrong to be called ‘both legs’.

If it gets to that point, it’s just a matter of stern scolding and moving on…
When I think of Siwoo’s usual demeanor, it’s all the more confusing because he’s not a frivolous guy who stabs this woman after another.

“It won’t work.”

I can’t really organize my thoughts on my own.
It’s not even a concern that can be confided to others.

So the conclusion was drawn: let’s just cover it up.

Seeing Eloah, Siwoo showed a puzzled look.
He had a look on his face that even he himself did not expect this to happen.
If so, it could be interpreted as an accidental impulse…

There is nothing to be concerned about in part.
Didn’t he say that men often get caught up in that urge?
Eloa already cared for him so much that he could distance himself from Siwoo with just this amount of happening.

Eloah got out of her bathtub, washed her body, and changed into her pajamas.
Her hair, which must have been covered in dust, is cleaned with magic.
As I came out to the living room with a full glass of wine, things I usually passed by inadvertently began to come into my eyes.

It must be because she was worried about Elroa, who would have a hard time alone.
Siu stopped by Eloa’s house after training or whenever he thought about it.
Always holding something in both hands.
Perhaps that is why his traces began to be left all over the house.
Even the bleak room has become a bit like a place where people live.

The refrigerator was filled with various ingredients to cook for Siwoo.
Bottles of soy sauce, vinegar, and olive oil settled in cupboards that were only filled with alcohol.
In the bedroom, soft-looking cushions and atmospheric lamps have been created.
Even the pajamas she was wearing were bought by Siu.
I had no intention of catching and hating a small fault on the subject of such frugal care and worry.

“It will go well.”

Elroa slumped down on the bed.
Let her pretend nothing happened.
Let’s practice tomorrow as usual and invite Siwoo to cook for us.
Afterwards, she discusses the results of her training over a nice drink.
As soon as her idea of ​​being her was firmly established, her dizzy mind calmed down a little.

“Haaam…”

Lying on the bed, Eloa gave a small yawn.
4 hours of sleep per day is compulsory.
As I hugged the soft cushion Siu bought for me and the drowsiness and alcohol after the bath, I started to fall asleep.

No matter how much her heart has been unburdened, these hours are to her a time of her fears and terrors.
It is the moment when you have to look through the memoirs in which Tiphareth’s mistakes were recorded.

With the feeling of being sucked into her quicksand, the darkened consciousness was cut off…
Continues again

Eloa carefully, very carefully, opened her eyes.
Trembling in fear of what kind of past I will look back on today.

“……?”

Elroa blinked her eyes open.
The place was inside Eloa’s room.
Of course, this is not a place where memories with Raffy dwell.
So, it’s not even a dream place.
She seemed to have closed and opened her eyes for a moment, but before she knew it, she saw the blue sky outside her window.

“No dream…”

Didn’t make it
The nightmares that haunted Eloah every single day and scared the moment the night fell did not appear.
Eloah raised herself up and looked around her with her blank eyes.

-Click!

Then the visit was opened.
A person emerges from the dark shadows.
It’s cold

“Hello? What’s the matter?”

It is always around noon when Siwoo visits Eloa.
It is early morning when the sun has not even risen.
Elroa looked at Siwoo with her questionable eyes and adjusted the collar of her pajama that was disheveled in her sleep.

“Master came to see you.”
“Master…?”

Siu never called Eloa Master.
Instead he called me Duke.
It’s something Eloa didn’t direct, but it’s probably because she understands her grief over the loss of Raffy.
Therefore, it was a questionable thing along with his intention that came in the middle of the night, not a sudden name change.

“It’s nice to see you. I’ve slept all over, so there’s nothing I can’t do. Would you like a drink?”
“That’s good too.”

Siu stared at Elroa’s face and said.
It was a very resonant, relaxed voice.
Somehow, Elroa, who is in a different mood from usual, slowly approaches her bed where she is sitting.

“Looking at it like this, it feels different again. You always wear only workout clothes.”
“Isn’t it the one you bought? It’s very comfortable and I use it. Would you mind going out and waiting for me? I want to change my clothes.”

Even so, you can’t greet guests in pajamas.
Eloah’s movement, which was about to get up to tidy up her clothes, comes to a halt at Siwoo’s next line.

“You are beautiful.”
“What, what?”
“You’re beautiful. More than any witch I’ve ever met in my life.”

Eloa’s pupils began to shake wildly.
