Chapter 408 – #88_Harvest Festival

#407

One.
Twins, Sharon, Master and even Periwinkle.
Yes, I couldn’t find Count Sod, but he shared a haewoo, expressing his gratitude in his own way.

After that, Siwoo set out to find Amelia.

The reason why her turn was delayed until the end was because Siwoo also couldn’t figure out which face to look at Amelia.
Therefore, he had been putting off meeting Amelia every day, as if putting off uncontrollable emotions as a second priority.

However, it soon ran into a problem.
At that time, whether you apologize for being too harsh or talk about anything, shouldn’t you look at her face first and have a conversation?

However, for her efforts, Amelia was nowhere to be seen in Gehenna.

She also spent her time with her cabin in the grove of gulfi trees.
Even her lodgings were provided to her who was originally her associate professor.
She even went to Marigold Mansion in Ars Magna Town, but there was no sign of her anywhere.

An empty cabin that visits for the third time today.
I swept the table, which had not accumulated a speck of dust even though it had been empty for a long time due to the preservation magic, with a complicated feeling of cleaning it.

I felt empty.
Siu, who was brought back to childhood by Keter.

The time when young Siu and Amelia had a happy time bloomed every time their eyes reached every nook and cranny of the cabin.

There is a table where we ate together, and there is an armchair next to the fireplace where we sat side by side and read a book.
There is a desk that was taught by her in the process of regaining her magical knowledge.

It wasn’t a very long time, but each and every moment was precious.
So when you get all your memories back.
When affection and friendship collide with resentment and anger.
I felt the intense love and hatred I felt.

Siu remembers Amelia, who caught her quibbles that she refused to attend the night, and bullied her in all sorts of ways.
She was a picky boss who even tried to interrupt him by grabbing him by the collar just before she escaped.

She’s blunt at the same time, but in reality she has a lot of tears, and she looks tough but actually has no tact.
She was a caring mother and older sister, and a woman he was in love with.

Time dilutes emotions.

The words she put on her lips, ‘Will you forgive me even if I get her memories back’.
I could understand a little bit now about those words that sounded cowardly and hateful at the time.
Now, what remains of Siwoo is bitterness, sorry, and a little difficulty with Amelia.

Why didn’t Amelia visit Siu again?
Why didn’t she make any attempt at conversation?
Did she fold her heart and turn away from her cold gaze that looked at her at that moment when she met her again?

A blooming question touched her heart.
Like a thorn in her fingertip, it doesn’t hurt or bother me much, but it feels like it’s always stuck.
Today, the projections of the thorns were unusually felt.

“… Ha….”

Siu sighed and closed the door.

2.
After the worst reunion.
Amelia returned to Gehenna with Clara.

Clara brought Amelia, who was making a futile expression as if everything had collapsed, almost tied up halfway.

“…….”

Amelia looks blankly into space.
Clara refuses to offer a meal or tea.

I sat in front of my desk, holding a pen, blankly holding a piece of paper that hadn’t stretched a single word for several days, as if I was going to do magic research.
It had been that way ever since he returned to Gehenna and stayed at Clara’s mansion.
He didn’t say anything about going hunting or what to do.

It will be difficult for Amelia.

Clara has been watching Amelia for a very long time.
I saved her from attempting suicide, comforted her, cheered her on, and waited until she confessed her pain herself.

Amelia is clumsy.

At first glance, she looks like a model of a strong and arrogant witch, but inside she is a weak child.
If she doesn’t explain it by her side, she doesn’t even know what her own feelings are, and if she has no one to rely on, she runs away alone, closing her heart and hiding her feelings.
Even that is insignificant.

Such Amelia takes over the life of Shin Si-woo, who was revived by Keter, and takes over her killing department.

If this task had been a fierce struggle for her life, Amelia’s remorse would have been alleviated.
The proposition ‘kill or die’ is a very, very effective indulgence.

Unfortunately, Amelia was too strong.
Also, her heart was too weak.

Most of the hunts were executions, not fights, and it was indeed a selfish expectation that sustained the heart that was crumbling through repeated slaughter.

The expectation that ‘if he knew that it was this hard, he might forgive him’.

To put it mildly, it is shoveling.
Conflicts between humans cannot be resolved unless the heart is conveyed or the situation is conveyed.

The mind is not connected by sacred nerve cords like some alien.

Because you don’t have the confidence to be forgiven right away, you use the excuse of atonement to build up a sense of debt to the person you will meet again in the future.
It’s just an act of self-torture and masturbation that relies on the kindness of others.

And not too long ago, even the expectations that had been built up so sadly were shattered.

Ever since the day I met the unconscious Shin Si-woo.
Even the faint hope of being forgiven must have been shattered like a fallen glass.

A misunderstanding that comes from the absence of communication, and another misunderstanding that is overlaid on top of it.
Like a twisted gear, a misalignment creates another misalignment.

Clara didn’t laugh at that.
Her anguish, her stupidity, and the devastating sadness that stemmed from it.
Being able to enjoy up close was an enchanting experience that is difficult to compare even to the finest Miju.

“Amelia.”

Clara and Lilith.
Her pain, her anguish, her self-pity, her regret, her anguish, her contradiction.
I didn’t stop loving you.

Widen the gap they created.
It parasitises through a hole in the heart that has become crumbled and intoxicated.

“Would you like to talk to me?”

That was the strongest formula for the Witch of Whispers to rule over other witches.

3.
The two witches and the two apprentices gathered in the parlor of the mansion of Gemanai.

Each.
Sharon Evergreen.
Eloah Tiphareth.
Odile Zemyna.
Odette Zemanai.

After sharing her heart with Siu and receiving a definite answer, Eloa went to Sharon and she told her about it.

No matter what the circumstances were, it became a rolling stone, so Sharon, who had comforted and sympathized with Elroa, was the first to inform her of the truth.

Of course, I also made it clear that ‘I am satisfied with just being by his side, and I have no intention of wanting more than that’.
It would be false to say that he was not very greedy, but as an unscrupulous teacher, there was no justification for monopolizing him.

Sharon wasn’t surprised or regretful at all.
She hugged Elroa and made her happy like it was her job.
Sharon also understood the hardships of her heart that Elroa must have suffered.

Contrary to Sharon and her twins sharing their secrets, Elroa’s secrets were told only through Sharon, and under the treaty of the peace treaty with her twins, they had a place to share information and meet.

“Hello, Duke Tiphareth.”
“You are a real duke….”
“It’s the first time we’ve all gathered like this.”
“Sharon, we’ve had meals together a few times.”

Eloah’s mouth was half open.
In fact, when Sharon said, ‘I also have twins’ among Siu’s other lovers, she naturally assumed that she was my countess.

As well as the fact that he receives the full cooperation and support of Count Zemanai.
Although it was a bit strange that Sharon used the title of ‘twin’ rather than ‘count,’ it made more sense when she thought about it with common sense.

“… I must have misunderstood something….”

It was hard for Eloa to hide her bewilderment and bewilderment when she came face to face with the cute apprentice witch of Count Jemyrnai and realized that his lover was actually an apprentice witch.
The phrase ‘Where is your teacher?’ Seems to come out naturally.

“… I guess I’ll have to pay my respects for this.”

Bowls are a mark of succession that must never be damaged, and men are the ones who can most easily contaminate them.
No matter how much she loved her disciple Siu, she thought that she would not touch her apprentice witch.

“I was surprised at first too….”

While Sharon gave her wry smile of understanding.
Her twin snuggled in.

“It’s okay, it’s not like we don’t have thoughts either. I am sharing my love with my assistant in my own safe way.”
“Odette! What if I suddenly say that?”
“Sister, but for today, everyone decided to talk honestly and openly? It’s rather strange to hide it.”

In fact, in Eloa’s ears, ‘I’m making love!’ I didn’t hear it after that.
Secondary shock.
Doesn’t it mean that Siwoo is having a physical relationship with the witch apprentice?
If so, how?

“No way….”

Elroa had already seen Siwoo violently back with Periwinkle.
She was thus able to quickly find the answer.

“It’s nothing to be ashamed of. That’s the only way….”
“Right, right.”

She says it’s nothing to be ashamed of, but just by looking at the twins’ exaggerated gestures and flushed faces, you can guess what their true intentions are.

But all the women here are the ones who love Siwoo.
Whatever the method, at least I don’t think it’s Eloah’s thing to discuss.

“First, why don’t we have a drink and talk?”
“Like! We have prepared wine.”
“This wine is famous for its deliciousness from the Mendel Hills!”

Everyone pours a drink into a glass and lightly touches the glasses together.
Sharon spoke her first.

“Actually, the reason why we gathered together like this…. Siwoo isn’t the kind of person who breaks things. But at the same time, he is also a flirt like this.”
“So, Sharon unni and we set up our own rules and share an assistant.”
“Don’t fight or fight for nothing.”

It was because of these occasional gatherings that Sharon and her twins got along harmoniously without much quarreling.
Borrowing Odile’s naming sense, the ‘Council for Fair Distribution’ is the topic discussed at this meeting.

“Today’s discussion will be the date order and time for this harvest festival.”

It was such a small thing.
Elroa, looking around for some kind of joke at the drinking party, was able to spot Sharon and her twins, who were infinitely serious.

And understand.
That this council, though organized to prevent useless quarrels, does not limit friendly competition.

“I, Odile, will speak first. Odette and I are one. Taking into account that if I divide my time according to the simple faction, the time I can spend with my assistant will be cut in half, I think I should spend twice as much time with my sister-in-law Sharon and Prince Tiphareth.”
“That’s right. My older sister is absolutely right.”

The twins’ argument is as follows.
If you divide a pizza into three large slices, the twins will receive and share one slice.
Therefore, it is right to divide the pizza into quarters and the twins take two slices.

“Sharon, I object. The Harvest Festival is a special event that takes place only three days a year. Obviously, while Shiu is paying attention to Miss Odile, she is less interested in Miss Odette and vice versa, but as long as they are together, it is difficult to identify with the situation in which they are completely separated. Furthermore, if we divide our time with that logic, Miss Odile and Miss Odette will take half of the right to be with Shiu.”

Sharon’s argument is as follows.
Unlike pizza, which becomes inedible when divided, Sharon says that it is a valid time to some extent just being able to communicate and interact emotionally nearby.

Eloah, who had been attracted to this council in a bewildered way.
She, who was watching the serious discussion with her eyes wide open, also joined the battle.

“I also have something I want to say.”

If you want to care for Siwoo and be with him, you are second to these three people.
