Chapter 288 – #64_The Twins and Sharon

#286

One.
After the incident that happened in Seoul ended in this way.
Siu sent a message through Eloa that he would head straight to Gehenna.

She also heard that Sharon, who had been beaten by a drowned witch, had recovered, so she wanted to see her face.
She had to see her twins, who would only be waiting for the hopeless assistant.
I also had to play with Takasho, who was left alone without her friends.
Also, there were things I wanted to say to Amelia, who was going through the worst breakup… Only.

Due to an unexpected situation, the trip to Gehenna was slightly delayed.

“Hmm… A problem, a problem.”

Siwoo was looking at the ‘red branch’ placed on the desk.
Around it, war papers with intricate magic formulas embroidered here and there are rolling.

Recently, Siu has been eager to control the red eggplant.
A body that became a spiritual body and could not even die of life span, and became the first male witch.
You don’t know what awaits you in the future during your long life.
Aside from a sense of justice, would he feel the need to prepare for old age?

“Ha… Does this make sense?”

In general, an artifact refers to an object that contains magic inside.
For example, a music box that plays a song of silence semi-permanently, or a janissary that the twins carry for self-defence.
However, going one step further here, the artifact that exerts magic equivalent to magnetic magic itself or serves as a catalyst is called a courtesy, such as the wand or red branch that Sharon carries.

To add a little more explanation, Artifacts are rare items that are relatively easy to mass-produce or produce, and Essays can be said to be unique or legendary items.
But there is nothing free in this world.
Although he got a good item after a long time, Siwoo couldn’t even touch the red branch properly.

“I have no idea where to look.”

Siu sighed as he looked at the red branch that had become almost the thickness of a tree trunk wrapped around a black ribbon.
It is all because of this red branch that the transition to Gehenna is delayed.
It was because the coordinates of the pass were arbitrarily messed up due to the powerful distortion field, even though it was thoroughly wrapped with ribbon.
If I try to enter Gehenna like this, I don’t know what kind of trouble will come, so I give up and stay at home and analyze it.

“It would be nice if I could use it properly….”

A red branch that constantly embraces a dangerous distortion field like a nuclear fuel rod.
First of all, by using the loom of a maiden and manipulating the weaving method, it was somehow made to the level of ‘carrying it’, but this is only a temporary measure.

Even if Siwoo squeezes the ribbon with great care, the distortion field slowly corrodes the ribbon.
So even with this thorough roll, the ribbons would have to be replaced in a day, and the distortion fields would still be scattered around.

However, on the contrary, if this terrifying performance can be fully brought out, it means that Siwoo’s preparation for retirement will also make progress.
So I’m doing my own research…

This wasn’t as easy as it sounds.
No matter how much he watched and observed the flow of magic with his eyes, the limits of Siu’s magical knowledge that he had known so far were clear.
As if this distortion field itself was some kind of magnetic magic, it was difficult to interpret.
It was a pity that I couldn’t even use it because of wearing restrictions even though I had a unique item in my hand.

“Isn’t it going well?”

Then the door creaked open and Eloah walked in.
The ponytail, which has a finer color than spring cherry blossoms, sways from side to side.
A tray with coffee and fruit is in her hand.

“Thank you, Master. This is not as easy as I thought.”

Siwoo got up, received the tray, and sat down on the sofa.
For Siwoo, who has been immersed in research all day for several days already, Eloa often provided snacks.
Eloa smiled warmly and looked into the electric paper Siu scribbled.

“It would be nice if I could be of any help. What if you could even move your body? Sitting at a desk all day only narrows your thinking.”

She deserves it, but Eloah is also an excellent witch.
Unfortunately, however, she could not help interpreting the red branch as she uses the language magic that does not use her magic field at all.
Also, even if he spends enough time interpreting it, there is no way that Siu will be able to copy the red branch interpreted in accordance with Eloa’s magnetic magic system.

“You already help me a lot. For the time being, training will be postponed a little. For now, I want to enter Gehenna.”

Siwoo smiled bitterly and expressed his disapproval of Elroa’s proposal.
Sure, sparring with Eloah is beneficial and fun, but she eats up a lot of her stamina.
Right now, it seemed right to focus on research.

“If you go to Gehenna, you can use a little better quality data or research equipment, so first of all, I’m going to change the weaving method of the ribbon just enough to go over the portal with this.”
“How long do you think it will take?”
“If that’s the case, I think two or three days will be enough.”

One of Eloa’s eyebrows went up as if in surprise.
According to his words, it means that in less than a week, the research has progressed to the point of completely shielding a type of magic field that has never been dealt with before.
Actually, it’s not that I’m grunting like that, but I’m not proud of it.
It was really sad not to be proud of that part.

“I thought I was walking in place because I looked so frustrated. After all, you are my disciple.”
“It is again.”

Eloah, having tasted her compliments, smiled softly when she saw Siu scratching her head embarrassingly.
Although it is temporary, it is the teacher’s joy to see his pupil grow.
But these days, it was more fun to tease Siwoo and watch him get flustered from time to time.

Yes, this distance is just right.
This is a relationship that is warm, harmonious, and full of mutual trust.
Elroa thought so and handed the apple poked into Siwoo’s mouth with a fork.

2.
When Siwoo was still thinking about how to cross the portal holding the red branch.

Sharon was standing in front of the twins’ study room.
She takes care of her troubled mind by circling around on the red sash carpeted throughout her hallway so that the class is not disturbed by outside noise.

“Whoa….”

Last night, Sharon visited Albireo and accepted her offer.
It’s easy to explain and easy to say, but it was a decision I made after a lot of thought.
When she meets Siu again, she becomes a confident lover who can stand side by side with him.
I wanted to be reborn from Sharon, who had only been receiving, to Sharon, who generously gave her.

That’s the part, if somehow you’re mentally prepared…
Now that I had to go to the lecture, my stomach was full of other problems.

“Okay, no problem.”

Sharon, who had been circling her place like a dog nipping her tail, took a deep breath and opened the door to her classroom.
What you see as soon as you enter is a fireplace that occupies one side of the wall and a window overlooking a beautiful garden.
Desks placed side by side across from the lecture table and blackboard.

Sitting at the desk are twin noble ladies who look exactly like each other.
His unrealistically glossy black hair and his trademark and signature large half bonnet caught his eye.

Sharon pretended to be calm, holding in her arms all kinds of class materials she had prepared to teach her twins.
As soon as she entered her classroom, she realized that her predictions were more or less correct.

“…….”
“…….”

A chilly silence permeates, not because of the mood.
Sharon and her twins have never known each other.
It was because when the twins made a surprise visit with Count Deneb, they watched a movie together and ate a lot of delicious food.
Back then, twins felt like cute little sisters.
In fact, the twins followed Sharon as well as her older sister.

However.
Now that we have reunited, the feeling is completely different.

“…….”
“…….”

Sharon involuntarily swallowed her breath.
The twins stare at Sharon with cold, calm eyes.
The eyes, finer than jewels, firmly locked on Sharon, who moved from the door to the front of the lecture table.

She was exactly the same as when she first found Sharon, who was living with Siu.
Vigilant.
Dubious.
Eyes that seem to have hidden some kind of dissatisfaction and ulterior motives inside.

This much was expected when Count Albireo intervened directly in the love front.
If winning her love is a war, then Sharon is clearly recognized as her twin’s ‘enemy’.
Although the Count did not say it with his own mouth, it was highly likely that her twin had asked for her to be so active in the love business of her apprentice witch.

But there is nothing to be afraid of anymore.
At least, the twins are just apprentice witches.
Sharon is the great witch of the 20th hierarchy who has completely overcome incomplete succession.
Rivalry or anything, a rivalry with Siwoo in the middle, no matter what, class is class.
In order to lead the twins who are clearly tomboyish, it is essential to suppress the initiative.

“Hello, I am Sharon Evergreen, who will be in charge of Elemental Element Theory and Elemental Applied Magic lectures from today.”

However, unlike her bold mind and her cold appearance, it is her new breasts, Sharon.
Even as she spoke solemnly, somehow her heart thumped.

“Hello. I’m glad you feel better.”
“Hello. I’m glad you look healthy.”

The twins also greet Sharon with respect as if they had promised.
She is different from how she used to be friendly during the short time they were together in this world.
It was a subtle spirit fight that made her feel the distance at once.
Still, she is bitter and upset at the changed attitude of the twins, whom she thought were close to each other.

Without interjection, Sharon grabbed her chalk and went straight to her class OT.
She had to talk about what part she was going to teach before going to class and what part she needed to prepare for.
For an apprentice witch, studying magic is, for example, the task of laying the foundation before building a building.
Depending on how firmly she builds up, the degree and speed at which she learns magic from the brand changes, so it can be said that it is really important.

“Now, I will divide it into a total of 12 parts like this and learn it for a year. There will be assignments based on what you have learned every week. At the end of each month, I will check her academic status through regular exams.”
“Yes.”
“Yes.”

The excuse to continue the conversation ended with a short answer.

“Do you have any questions?”

The twins exchanged glances.
They nodded to each other without saying anything.

“No.”
“No.”
“… Then I will continue straight from the first chapter.”

Sharon scribbled her elemental magic formula on the blackboard, referring to her textbook.
First, it’s time to find out what the twins are capable of.

“Will Miss Odile solve this problem first?”
“Yes.”

Odile gets up from his seat and walks to the blackboard.
Today’s class continued in a state of tension, like a truce negotiating table.

I never knew a witch’s outfit could be so bizarre!
The panty line across the pelvis was so artistic that I forgot to adjust my face and ended up doing it… !
Thank you very much!
