Chapter 799 – #167_The Grand Meeting of Lovers (4)

#793

One.
“What? In addition?”
“I do not like it! Assistant! We will follow you too!”

The reaction of the twins with shopping bags hanging from both arms was as expected.
The mouth sticking out and whining.

“It won’t take as long as the last time, but I think we’ll have to stop by Gehenna for an hour or two.”
“Why?”
“Assistant, is this suspicious? Aren’t we secretly going to meet a girl?”

Even though he looks defenseless at first glance, he is a sharp-witted Odile in strange places.
It is true that he is going to meet a woman, but not for an insidious purpose.

Above all, there must be a reason for such a sudden call.

“It’s not like that, so watch the current world with other people. I will be back very soon.”
“… My assistant always goes missing when I say things like that….”

Siu read the twins who were upset and asked Master to escort them.

It wasn’t that far, and I wondered if it would be anything special to go as far as the Han River, but since there was a record of being kidnapped inside Gehenna, I made every effort.

“Siwoo, I’ll follow you too.”
“It’s really no big deal. I’ll be back soon, but it’s cumbersome.”

“Being with Siu is not a hassle….”
“Amelia-nim, please protect Odile-nim and Odette-nim in this world. After all, if a problem arises, the current world will be more urgent.”

“Josu-nim, it’s even more suspicious because he’s like that….”

It was a bit unnatural, but Siu politely declined Amelia and Sharon’s offer to accompany him and headed to the Han River with Master.

“Whew….”
“Siwoo, is it because of the courteous inspection?”
“That’s right.”

There was a reason why he dared to hide his original purpose and even rejected his companionship.
First of all, it is to reduce the worries of the lovers, especially for Amelia.

Amelia’s runaway caused Siwoo to lose his left arm.
Siwoo, who was caught up in her memories in the hydrated space, lost her arm to save Amelia.

It was an injury that could not be permanently recovered due to severe damage to the base level of the spiritual body, but he was implanted with a ‘self-prosthetic arm’ comparable to modern biotechnology and avoided becoming disabled.
Although it was difficult to say that it was completely normal because the sensations were not transmitted properly for unknown reasons.

Anyway.
Even if Siwoo himself doesn’t pay much attention, Amelia will be different.
He lost the arm of a loved one through his own mistake, so is he cheating?

Therefore, Siwoo was thoroughly hiding the abnormal symptoms from his lover other than Eloa.

“…….”

However, there is something that bothers me a little.

Yebin said it would take about three days for her to be tested.
If it’s just the test results, if it’s a test that doesn’t have any problems, is there a need to notify it so urgently?

The communication process between Gehenna and the present world, which is surrounded by a semi-permanent barrier, is quite complicated.
Anxiety arises that there might be a reason to endure such annoyance.

It seems that the confusion was reflected on the side of the face.
Seeing a hand tugging at her sleeve.

“It won’t be a big deal.”
“Thank you. I think so too.”

About half of them are worried, while the other half want to think, ‘What’s going to happen?’.

Eloa and Siu enter the clinic in Taro Town after passing through the immigration office again after a day.
Yebin, who was sitting at a table on the first floor and examining something carefully, greeted the two with a slightly complicated expression.

“Hello, Duke Tiphareth, Mr. Siu.”
“You’re struggling until late at night. It’s a lot of hard work.”
“No, I’ll serve you some tea, so please wait a moment.”

She cleared the desk full of books, and Ye-bin, who brought a thick stack of papers with tea, sat down.

“First, I want to say I’m sorry.”
“Yes?”
“Siwoo’s problem is not an area that I can solve.”

Yebin calmly opened her documents.

“The inspection itself really looked at many aspects. First of all, do you know the principle of Count Kohab’s prosthetic arm?”
“Yes, I heard the explanation.”

Count Kohab’s ‘self-prosthetic arm’ is literally a prosthetic arm made of pottery made from special soil and baked in a kiln.
In many myths, humans are creatures made of clay, so it can be said that the magical principle is to transform the ‘prosthetic arm’ into a ‘body’ using its symbolism.

“In other words. From the point of view of spiritual body composition, Siwoo’s arm is completely the same as before. Count Kohab performed his magic brilliantly.”
“It didn’t look like a quack.”
“Sure, the Count.”

Saying that, Yebin shows a picture that really looks like an MRI scan.
As she said, there was no difference between her left and right arms, from the magic circuit to the skeleton and muscles.

“But when I listened to Siwoo’s words, I heard that the senses aren’t conveyed properly…. What happened to that?”
“I think it’s probably a matter of the soul, not the spiritual body. No, otherwise there is no explanation.”
“…… ?”

Eloah couldn’t keep up with the suddenly started occult remarks.

Of course, from a scientific point of view, but from a magical point of view, the existence of the soul is partially acknowledged.

However, only the magical power generated when the soul and relationship are replaced with magical energy, that is, its utilization as a resource.

Most of the witches took the same position in the area of ​​ghosts, the existence of the afterlife, and magic using the soul.

The theory is that the ‘soul itself’, which has not been replaced with magical power, is difficult to exert a significant influence on the laws of the world.

“I’m sorry, but…. Is it out of focus?”

It would have been nice if Siwoo could think like Master, but….
Unfortunately, there are parts that are too precise.

“That inside Siwoo…. Are you still there?”
“That’s right. Maybe it’s because of this side.”

Siu sighed.

Shin Si-woo in the unconscious.
A black knight hanging upside down at the bottom of Ain.

He has never raised his head to the surface consciousness since he was sunk while challenging the ‘trial’ at the Nukelaby palace the other day.

It is unknown what the plan is, but he has a criminal record for trying to steal Siwoo’s body.

“I’m just making a careful guess that maybe that’s not the problem.”

Yebin said calmly.
Perhaps the difference between Kohab and Yebin’s different results is the difference between whether they know the existence of the black knight or not.

“I’m really sorry, but…. I think it would be difficult for me to help more. It’s not an area where my magic can interfere….”
“No. You worked hard.”

He tried not to show it, but inevitably his face darkened.
Master is also depressed.

Even if you go to the local hospital, you can’t find out the cause, so you went to see a doctor who said you were brave, but in the end, it was a dark feeling of helplessness.

“It’s not that there isn’t a way, though.”

Yebin hurriedly added an explanation.

“As you may know, Smyrna is a witch who uses magnetic magic to heal her body and spiritual body. But there are also witches who have gone the exact opposite way.”
“A witch who studies the soul… ? Was there ever such a witch?”
“Yes, I am Nephthys, the ‘Soul Witch’.”

Yebin added an additional explanation.

I don’t even know her name, but the ‘soul witch’ is an outcast like Smyrna, the predecessor.
It is said that the predecessors Smyrna and Nephthys walked the path of sorcery together for a long time.

Although they conducted joint research for nearly 60 years, they came to have different perspectives on magic.

Smyrna believed that the state of transcendence resided in the body, so she immersed herself in the spiritual body and recovery.
On the contrary, Nephthys paid attention to the mind and soul that transcended the body.

The two, who could not reach an agreement on the research topic, conducted independent research after the breakup, but said that they maintained a good relationship nonetheless.

“I’ve seen her face about twice when I was an apprentice witch. I also know the location of the workshop. I can write you a letter of introduction.”
“Then we can go there and do the rest of the inspection.”

I don’t know exactly how it will go.
However, Siwoo is a little relieved that he finally has a way to solve it.

“But there is one problem….”
“What problem?”

Yebin, who was blurring her words, said.

“I didn’t really want to do it because it seemed like gossip…. He and her personality are really, really eccentric.”

2.
On the way back to the officetel after shopping at the department store while Siu and Eloa were visiting Gehenna for a while.
It was quite a rough atmosphere after a satisfying shopping trip.

This is because the twins and Sharon were fighting fiercely.

“What? Of course not.”
“Why?”
“You’re just watching.”
“You are still apprentice witches. The Count entrusted it to me, so how will they look at me if I take them to a place like that!”

The twins wanted to go to an adult product store.
Isn’t it a place where you can see the selfishness of this world, which is hard to find in Gehenna?
Moreover, it will help you to have a good time with your assistant, so 2 sets with 1 seat.

Of course, I can’t help but be curious.
If this was Gehenna, I would have climbed over the fence at night, but unfortunately, this is the present world.
It is forbidden to move without the accompanying guardian.

“Anyway, it’s forbidden. No.”

She had Sharon’s position on Sharon, who stubbornly refused.
Even if the twins have secretly stepped halfway through the steps of adults, they are still apprentice witches in need of protection.

Sharon is the person who is most familiar with this city and has been entrusted with the role of guardian and guide.
By the way, leading the twins to an adult store?
It was tantamount to neglecting her duties as the tutor of Count Zemanai.
This is unacceptable for Sharon, who is full of her responsibilities.

“Sharon unnie is really too much….”
“She enjoys herself to the fullest….”

The twins could no longer hide their anger.

I’d rather she wouldn’t have known that day if she hadn’t been tailed, but she already knows that she bought Sharon a bunch of things she did.
Sharon’s behavior of not allowing her to go to the adult store did not seem to be the result of her sense of responsibility.

“What?”
“I know everything!”
“The day I reconciled with my assistant, you brought it all by yourself!”
“That, that, how do you know that?”

Dorothy, who was watching the conversation while Sharon was embarrassed, interrupted.

“Was it Miss Sharon?”
“Yes? Yes.”
“Isn’t it okay to just watch? How curious are you?”
“Even though….”
“It’s okay~ It’s okay~ It’s not good to just hide it. Rather, it is better to experience this and that under supervision to cultivate a healthy sexual consciousness.”
“Dorothy is right. Jim also has a taste for adult toy stores.”

After Dorothy, go to the twins to Leruhe.
Sharon looked at Amelia as if seeking her advice.

The twins are terrified of Miss Amelia, her former associate professor, and she thinks that a word can put an end to the backlash.

However….

“I think I will be fine.”

Amelia was also curious about the strange artifacts of this world.
Sharon, who is looking at Rinne, the newly joined ‘Sword Witch’, with the feeling of grabbing at least a straw, although the majority has been taken over long ago.

If it was her wearing her kimono and exuding her chaste impression, I wondered if she would give at least one objection to her, but….

“…….”

For some reason, she was withdrawing won from the currency exchange machine at the entrance of the department store.
