Chapter 456 – #96_Travel (5)

#455

One.
The two naturally fell apart after a fresh kiss.
No, it’s hard to say that it’s natural.
It was because Amelia was suddenly startled and pulled her body out as if pushing Siwoo away.

“Mi, I’m sorry….”

As if surprised by my actions, Amelia looked at her hand and looked at Siu, who was distracted.
Her white face had turned red, and she couldn’t stand still, staggering as if someone was pulling her left and right.
It’s like she was just drunk.

“Did I do something wrong?”
“No! Absolutely! Nice! It was good….”

When Siwoo asked anxiously, she desperately waved her hand and Amelia shook her head at the same time.
Even though I don’t think there is a gesture that expresses denial more clearly than that, it was fresh because it was the first time I’d seen her use such a big gesture.

“…….”

Amelia shut her mouth like a clam and bowed her head, as if she had given up trying to explain something to Shiu.

The top of Amelia’s head that I haven’t seen in a long time.
Her ears are ripe red, rising pointedly through her cascading thin, gorgeous blonde hair.

In her memory, Amelia was not lacking in her sexual knowledge, but apart from that, she maintained a very chaste behavior.
Even if she goes back to the past and when she was her caretaker, she says to Siwoo, ‘You’re going to kiss Amelia in the future?’

To her, such a sudden progress may have been embarrassing.
Moreover, if it is at the point where it has not been long since reconciliation has been made.

“Something seems to have blown the mood….”
“It’s not Siu’s fault. I’m sorry for pushing you all of a sudden.”

The two looked at each other and bowed their heads politely, apologizing to each other.
As she looked up, Amelia was brushing her fingers through her hair, brushing away any awkwardness from her.

At least she tends to condescend to herself by saying that she has accumulated quite a bit of female flair.
Seeing Amelia’s reaction, fresh as if she had just finished her first kiss, made me feel embarrassed.

“Greatness…. Then, shall we have breakfast?”
“Like… !”

As she let go of the rhyme to change the mood, Amelia jumped up too.

“If there is anything in particular you would like to eat, please let me know. The hotel restaurant here is delicious.”

Amelia answered almost without delay.

“Kimchi stew.”
“Yes?”

Amelia is a native of Gehenna, and Gehenna itself has a very Western diet. She naturally thought that Western food would come out, but she suddenly had steamed kimchi.

“It’s Siwoo’s hometown food.”
“Ah.”

During her secondary childhood, which seemed quite distant, she had asked Amelia out of the blue.
She went shopping together and bought her own ingredients, and Amelia worked them out in her kitchen, but the results weren’t very good.
Amelia may have noticed that Siwoo ate too much in an attempt to hide it.

“It’s good.”

Thanks to Amelia, who still remembers what happened then, a corner of her heart warmed.

2.
As I was walking around searching for her house for steamed kimchi, which is famous for being delicious, I diligently told Amelia about her present life.

Siwoo has also been taken to the absurd place of City Of Witches and has seen all kinds of strange things, but Amelia must be feeling a culture shock that cannot be compared to Siu.

That will be too. The atmosphere throughout Gehenna is of the ‘past’.
Whether there was an academy resembling the Palace of Versailles or a market that looked like a fantasy game village, there was a chance to get in touch with it indirectly.

But what about the present age?
For Amelia, this is the perfect future.
Seeing her anxious appearance yesterday, she decided to explain more carefully.

“It is called the Houses of Parliament. Ugly, right? But after all, it is the central government office. Unlike Gehenna, in Korea, administrative, legislative, and judicial powers are separated as the three powers are separated.”
“… Yes.”

Siwoo introduced a building that could become a teacher on the other hand for architecture students who stood tall on the riverside and ruined the night view.
While touring Yeouido, she couldn’t help but mention it.

“Oh, and that is a bus. Like the car I mentioned earlier, it uses fossil fuels. It’s a wagon that uses an internal combustion engine. However, it is larger and does not belong to individuals, but helps citizens pass through designated courses. Of course you have to pay the fare.”
“… Yes.”

So I tried my best to explain it in my own way, giving a plausible example at Amelia’s eye level.

“Miss Amelia.”
“… Yes.”

Something isn’t right with Amelia.
He answers, but his voice sounds like he’s half lost.
Until earlier, she had assumed that it was because she was just distracted.
Siwoo used to be in a similar situation whenheheard a new paper broadening the horizons of a famous mathematician at an academic conference.
But no.
I was clearly distracted.

“Miss Amelia.”
“… Yes.”

Enraged Amelia is a fairly rare commodity.
I couldn’t help but feel the urge to check it out.

“Amelia-sama, do you often drink black tea through your nose?”
“No.”
“Ah, you were listening.”

She tried to make a light joke, but Amelia just looked up at Siu with a puzzled expression saying, ‘Why are you asking such a question?’
Even though she tried to make it up in a joking tone.
Come to think of it, I don’t remember seeing Amelia smile widely.

The expressionless expression that always looks like a mask is the base.
Even when she smiles, her expression doesn’t change much except for the slight movement of the corners of her mouth….
At this point, it’s okay to aim for something like Let’s Make Amelia Laugh, like her romance cartoons.

“Does Siwoo drink black tea through his nose?”
“Not so…. Amelia-sama seems to be looking away, so I’m joking around….”
“Joke… ?”
“I’m sorry if I offended you.”
“No. It’s nothing to feel bad about.”

Afterwards, Amelia and Siu walk back to their destination.

“…….”

In fact, Siwoo’s prediction that Amelia was distracted was correct.

Amelia’s mind was literally a hurricane raging through a field of roses in full bloom until his sudden words woke her up.

This is because the afterglow of the kiss remains.
Still, when she closes her eyes, she feels the soft, hot touch of the tip of her tongue and the thick hand of his wrapped around her waist.

The feeling of floating with thousands of balloons hanging from your waist.
Even the streets of this world, which felt unfamiliar and frightening, are dreamy and orderly, as if you are walking in a dream. This feeling makes even the hard bricks soft and smooth.
If you’re not careful, you’re happy enough to ride the rhythm and walk frivolously.

“Im here.”

This kimchi-jjim restaurant was found on a blog and boasts an 80-year tradition.
The building was recently remodeled and it was a pretty neat structure.

No matter how much Park Young’s amulet blurs the impressions and images around the user, it was close to impossible to completely block it like a music box.

The head of the department manager with her bald head wiped the sweat from his brow and was about to eat at a restaurant where a blonde beauty he had never seen before appeared, so naturally there was a commotion.
Fortunately, thanks to the talismans and partitions that did their job, the commotion soon subsided from the moment the clerk took the order.

Meanwhile, at this point, Amelia, who was walking alone in the cloud country, also calmed down a bit.
The pungent smell of food stinging her nose and the cluttered atmosphere of the restaurant calmed her down a bit.

“Amelia-sama, by the way, would it be all right if I told you a little realistic story?”

Siu, who was watching Amelia’s eyes, opened her mouth.
She told her that her newly imposed fine and reparations were billions prefixed with a four-digit number, which literally sounded like billions of billions of billions.

No matter how satisfying and enjoyable this moment is, if Amelia cannot accept the amount within 10 years, she will face a terrible punishment of imprisonment followed by exile.

“A realistic story?”

It’s a realistic story after a dramatic reconciliation and a sweet kiss….
Maybe it’s about marriage?
Indeed, Amelia, immersed in a sense of euphoria, was in a high state of serotonin secretion.
Therefore, she drew a somewhat erratic conclusion and looked at her Siwoo with serious eyes, straightening her posture.

“I am ready.”

Siwoo hesitated at Amelia’s strange spirit.
Bring out her prepared words.

“It’s not different, it’s a fine that’s not small. I also want to be strong…. I think we need to know exactly how things are going.”
“That… That’s what you’re talking about.”

Amelia grasped the situation the moment Siwoo finished speaking.
Excited anticipation shrinks like a rubber duck when the wind goes out.
In a way, it was fortunate.
The reason that seemed like it would fly away if I was careless for a second has returned to its original place.

“Siwoo doesn’t need help. Because that’s what I did.”
“It is because I want to do it. I want to help even if it doesn’t help much. What is the current situation? Please say something first.”

Siwoo’s serious gaze unexpectedly.
It’s not just her façade, it’s felt that she really wants to help, and Amelia is happy again.
So she confided to him the outline of the situation.

“We decided to dispose of the Marigold Mansion in Ars Magna Town. They say you can get around 8,000 pounds if you sell all the nearby estates.”

Let’s take a look at the inherited legacy.

5,000 pounds of cash in the vault bank.
Approximately 10,000 pounds of magic items and artifacts not related to Marigold’s magnetic magic.
2000 pounds of various artworks.
1000 pounds of pasture northeast of Taro Town.
£4,000 in addition to the cottages scattered throughout Gehenna.

As Siwoo listened to Amelia’s words, he tapped the calculator in his head.

Her fines and restitution Amelia had to come up with totaled £212,000.
Her entire fortune, which she will collect from the disposal of her inheritance, is approximately 30,000 pounds, or about 24 billion in Korean currency.
Even if the scraps are removed, the remaining money is 180,000 pounds, or about 144 billion won in Korean currency, which is an outrageous amount.

The number of digits is still the same.

In fact, the money her ancestor Marigold had bequeathed to Amelia was less than the average wealth of a witch in Lenormand Town.
This is because a huge amount of money was withdrawn for Amelia’s treatment.
It’s a level that doesn’t greatly interfere with magic research, and it’s money to live luxuriously for the rest of your life, but it’s shabby in front of astronomical debt.

“…….”

Siu felt her eyes darken.
There must have been no way at all, but it was because it felt like her hardships were open.
Sharon, who was in a similar situation, earned 1.3 billion in 10 years and paid off her principal of 100 million….
At least, we should consider it fortunate that interest does not accrue on fines or not.

“Don’t worry too much.”
“Don’t worry…. Is it hard?”
“I decided to sell perfume. Now that I have ordered the necessary materials and equipment…. After a day, you should be able to get to work.”

Amelia’s perfume.
They say that she can’t be saved even among the wealthy witches of Gehenna, but she wonders if she will be able to pay off her debt with it….

While Siwoo was puzzled, the steamed kimchi he ordered came out.
