Chapter 364 – #78_Outdoor Activities (6)

#362

One.
“Miss Diana. You’re not concentrating for some reason today.”

Yesterday we had an outdoor activity, so today is a location board training.
Diana suddenly came to her senses at Siu’s sudden words.

“Why do you think so?”
“Just… I hope you miss the part you normally wouldn’t miss. If you’re not feeling well, would you like to rest a little?”

Actually, it was just as he said.
Normally, the match between Diana and Siu ends after a long battle of 250 to 300 moves.
But today, all of them are around 100.
When it was fast, it was defeated in 50 moves.

Moreover, Diana did not even ask Siwoo for feedback through recovery after the game ended today.
They played mechanically, and when one game was over, they immediately played another game, and didn’t say a word.
At least on the location board, it was Diana who acknowledged Siwoo and tried to learn from him.

Diana stared at Siu.
We played games together for over 3 hours today, but this was the first time we saw eye to eye.

“…….”

Complex heart.
It’s like you don’t understand English.
And Diana couldn’t get her words out of the core of her eyes in her eyes that harbored her subtle concern.

“Okay, I’ll take a break.”
“You worked hard.”

Diana answered in a limp voice and went back to her bedroom.
A customized bed with perfect ergonomic design.
She droops her canopy and flops her body into her very own hideout, decorated like her princess bed.

“Ha…. What is this feeling….”

Yesterday, after realizing the secret relationship between tutor Shin Si-woo and his mother.
Diana felt emotions she had never felt since she was born.

The untidy figure of the mother in the novel.
She and she put him aside on the pretext of appointing Diana her tutor. Her lies shocked her a bit, but she sorted it out in her sleep yesterday.

Diana also read what her love was.
Although it was hard to accept that her mother, who had previously warned her to be careful with men, was hiding such a secret.
She tried to understand everything.

Because of Diana.
Because of the surroundings.
It was because I felt sorry for her to write a sensual novel in her closet, unable to honestly show her true feelings.
She wondered if she would have been so lonely and solitary.

But there was something strange.
Diana clearly understood her mother’s circumstances.
So even if her new mother met a new man and she secretly shared her secret love with Diana, she had no reason to make Diana uncomfortable.
Even if it’s a bit surprising and bittersweet, it’s just a trivial thing if you say “It’s good” Or “I’m glad”.

After organizing her mind well, her mind must have been at ease.
She must have tasted sweet sleep like honey last night without tossing and turning.

The ripple in Diana’s mind was when she faced Siwoo, who came to Diana without a doubt today.

“Eww… Ugh….”

Diana buried her face in her pillow and kicked her bed like she was taking a swim.
Siwoo is still dressed in a neat butler outfit.
From the moment I opened the door and let him into the living room, the words from the novel started to float in my head.

Unlike women, the uvula protrudes from the secondary sexual characteristics.
Strong forearms peeking through the gently raised shirt cuffs.
Even the eyes looking down at the location board seriously.
It fits perfectly with the description of the novel.

Around the time I felt restless and shut my mouth tightly.
By the time he realized that he would be taking her mother’s ‘private tutor’ tonight as well.
Diana found another discomfort.

“Weird….”

It was unpleasant.
He who robs his precious mother.
He was uncomfortable with knowing the face of her mother that even Diana didn’t know.
But at the same time, the slightest dissatisfaction that surfaced like a whisper did not go to Siuman.

He’s my tutor.
I thought first.
You said that all men are wolves to me.

I can’t understand myself, and it’s absurd.
For a brief moment, she harbored dissatisfaction with her mother.

“Eww… Aaaaa….”

Unable to understand this or that, Diana knocked on the bed again.

2.
Private tutoring with Count Yesod is always done in the evening.

Today, however, Diana retired earlier than usual, and the Count just had time to spare, so she took her lessons in the afternoon.

“I will find a way to control the red eggplant in earnest. It’s like getting into practice.”
“Is it okay if I don’t have to do more theory?”
“From here on out, I think it would be more efficient to provide supplementary training on the parts that are lacking while directly bumping into each other.”
“All right. But where are you going?”
“Whoops, it’s a secret.”

I thought it would head to the private library she always goes to.
The length was slightly different.

The rear view of the count who is slightly ahead.
According to my observations, the count was a witch who liked to decorate very much.
Except for her preference for white coordination, the clothes she wears change every time, and her style is always outstanding.

As I was idly wondering how much the clothes would cost, I saw the count’s buttocks rustling, who had taken a slight lead.
Elegant legs created by the harmony of high heels and a wide pelvis that do not match her narrow waist.
I was captivated by her magical powers that caught her attention….

“Siwoo, it’s rude to stare at the lady’s back.”

She was caught by the Count, who turned around.
Far from being angry, she glanced at Siwoo with a bewitching eye smile.
She picked up any words that were hard to say and served.

“Sorry. The Count’s style is familiar to me. Are these clothes from Flora’s dressmaker?”
“Hmm~ It was like that. That’s right, I have a good eye.”

The count smiled knowingly, but he didn’t take it any further.
Instead, the subject naturally moved to dressmakers.

It was said that Siu had also made suits there, and that most nobles of Gehenna tailor their clothes there.
As a result, the topic naturally moved to Flora Arabesque, the owner of the dressmaker.

“Flora Arabesque is also a great witch. Because until her 200 years ago, there was no witch of a higher rank than her.”

She was surprised because it was the first time she had heard of it.

“Really?”
“Yes, except for Duke Keter. Perhaps if she had continued to devote herself to her magical studies…. No one knows, but it must be a very high level, right? It has been the 22nd hierarchy since the distant past.”

I thought she was a lazy looking person.
Was it a strong man’s record?
As we talked in detail, she had arrived at her destination before she knew it.

“…….”
“Shall we go in?”

Seeing the entrance to the classroom for the day, Siu stopped.
No matter how you look at it, it was the entrance to the bathhouse.

“Is this right?”
“Yes, it is my personal bath.”

The Count answers Siwoo’s question as if it were natural.
I looked at her, unable to understand why she was doing her private tutoring in her bath, but her count tilted her head with an ignorant expression on her face.

“Is there any problem?”
“You seem to have a lot of problems?”
“Since the class started early anyway, wouldn’t it be nice to have a conversation while taking a mixed bath?”

As soon asheheard the two words mixed bathing, Siwoo’s instincts scanned Count Yesod’s body.
Yesterday’s fishing was like a date, but suddenly mixed bathing?
It feels like a few steps have been skipped.

“The bathtub is large enough for two people to fit in.”

The Count quietly approached and whispered in a sweet voice.
My ears tickle.
Count Yesod, who had been confused for a few days whether he was gently provoking or testing, laughed at Siwoo’s bewildered reaction after a while.

“Just joke. Please follow me.”

It wasn’t as fancy as the large public baths I’ve been to before, but it was beautifully decorated.
Her private bathroom, which was decorated more like a nice hotel lounge than a bathroom, gave a feeling of being healed just by walking.

After looking around, there is a circular bathtub that seems to be enough for ten people, let alone two, to enter at the same time.
The bathtub was full of water, and in the center was a red branch that Siu had entrusted to the count.

“Because the red eggplant is so wild. The inside of the bathtub is filled with magical heavy water with a purity of 99.9% set at minus 2 degrees Celsius.”
“What is the magic power?”
“Oh, alchemy basically teaches you, but you don’t know. It is a magical water that has been refined to have extremely low reactivity.
First of all, let’s start by dealing with the red eggplant in there. If you fail to control it, you can use it as a buffer and moderator just by immersing it in that water.”

I know it’s definitely different from regular water.
There is no refraction by the surface of the water, and unobstructed visibility all the way down to the floor.

“Shouldn’t we just start by controlling it in the magical water?”
“Yes.”
“All right.”
“Oh, before that.”

The moment Siwoo is about to take off his shoes and socks and enter the bathtub.
The Count quietly put his hand on Siwoo’s shoulder.

“Wouldn’t it be better to take off your top and go? It’s set to a lower temperature, so if your clothes get wet, you’ll feel colder.”

It’s a strange request, but it’s not a woman, it’s just a top….
Aren’t they skin-to-skin in the literal sense?
As soon as she took off her jacket, vest, and shirt and entered the bathtub step by step, Siwoo realized that the Count’s advice was correct.
It was really damn cold.
It’s not unbearable though.

“Can I really hold it like this?”
“Yes. Does not matter.”

In the water that reached waist height, Siwoo carefully held the red branch that was suspended in the middle.

“Ugh!”

The palm holding the red branch tingles as if holding a short-circuiting battery.
She had felt something similar before, but it was a sign that her spiritual body was about to distort.
However, unlike the previous pain that seemed like his entire body would be crushed, it was now manageable.
What’s more, it’s much more comfortable just because the annoying red barrier doesn’t protrude.

“Would you like to wrap it with the magic I prepared and pull it out to the surface?”
“All right. Bloom.”

Siu calmly took out a strand of ribbon and held it up.
It is a ribbon with shielding and control applied.
Like a water snake, a ribbon that sank beneath the surface of the water wrapped around the red branch, and Siu carefully pulled it out of the magical water.

The saliva goes down.
Unlike before, when it was tightly wrapped, the thin packaging consisted of only one layer.
The moment you take it out of the mana heavy water, it may go into a riot.

The red eggplant finally came out of the water.
Siu was impressed.
It was because Ji-ri had been sleeping very quietly.
If this is the case, it is stable enough to use the coordinate movement formula even with the red branch.

“Done!”

Yes, Earl of Sword watched him silently by his side and told him in a kind voice.

“In the existing method Siwoo used, the shielding rate was only about 72% in normal conditions. It doesn’t have a great effect on the spiritual body right now, but if there are delicate artifacts around it, it’ll break down. Now it’s close to perfect shielding.”
“Thanks. Thank you so much.”
“What, all I did was give you some basic advice.”

The Count responded with a smile to Siwoo’s smile.
It was a kind of happy smile.

“But there is still a long way to go. The red branch reacts even to shock.”
“Yes.”

When engaged with an enemy knight.
I can’t forget the shock wave of the distorting field that shook my intestines just by clashing the weapons.
As the Count said, he could control the red branch in its normal state without difficulty, but more precise adjustments would be needed to wield it freely as a weapon.

“Shall we start with a light shock in that state first?”

Still, it’s a huge development.
I was confident that I would develop further in the future.
Siu nodded and continued the experiment.

3.
Ha.
Brighten the eyes
The count smiled heartily as he saw Siwoo taking off his top and fiddling with a red branch.
