Chapter 821 – #172_Purple Rose

#815

One.
A fresh, soft spring breeze brushed my cheeks.

Wherever you look, purple flower buds roll over like clouds.
The scent of lavender, sensual like velvet, tickles the tip of your nose.
A colorful butterfly flapped its wings in the breeze, and a single gently fallen petal spun on the surface of the water.

Siwoo, who was standing at a distance, immediately realized.

This is the residence of Duke Tiphareth in Ars Magna Town.

Siu had never visited in person.
Because Master disposed of it to establish Location Point, it is now owned by Count Adonai.

“It is pretty.”

It’s not that it’s not, it’s really pretty.
While living in Gehenna, I had a calm feeling when I looked at some of the buildings.

The exotic and dreamy appearance of the garden was as bright as a lady’s spring outing dress.
It was to the point where I would want to buy back this mansion and give it to Master as a present when I earn a lot of money later.

“You must do that.”

That’s for later, and now it’s urgent to bring Master out of this dream.

Looking at the beautiful scenery, I don’t feel very comfortable.

Amelia’s despair when she lost her ancestors and Master’s despair when she lost Raffy couldn’t be quantitatively compared.
Is there any special weight to the sadness of losing a loved one?

However, I know that ‘what reason did you lose it?’ Is an important factor in getting rid of that pain.

Amelia accepted the breakup.
In the inevitable parting, he felt Mallika’s love and chose to move forward.

It may sound like a cold story, but the fact that Amelia was an apprentice witch and Mallika was her ancestor must have had a significant impact.

Sooner or later, it will happen someday.

Master’s case is a little different.

The sorrow of parents who lost their children is called chamcheok.
It means a gruesome sadness that cannot be put into words.

Master believes that you are responsible for that terrible sorrow.

He chewed until his intestines broke, thinking that the tragedy could have been prevented if he had paid a little more attention.
I had to live as a sinner for over 100 years.

Siwoo’s presence must have been a great comfort to such a master.

But it couldn’t wash away all the pain.
Even if the head of Ea, the source of all evil, was offered to Laffy’s tombstone, it would not change.

She decided to move on, burying the tragedy that couldn’t end in her heart, but ended up being captured.
To a purple utopia with a sweet lavender scent.

“Brother Siu!”

As I was lowering my head with a heavy heart, I saw a girl running far away.
Two cheeks full of vitality and vitality.

It runs along the span over the pond with a body movement that is softer than that of a flying squirrel.

It was the first time I actually saw it, but it wasn’t hard to recognize who it was.
A black-and-white photo of her was hanging in a frame that had been placed on the side of the tombstone.

“Hug me!”

Raffy, who was running at full speed, stepped on the stone railing of the span and kicked off, flying away.

Raffy, who was hugged lightly like a feather, let out a gentle smile and pretended to kiss the sides of both cheeks.
It is a kiss instead of a greeting.
It was very friendly.

“Me too…”
“Ah, what is the reaction like? I have a cute sister in my arms.”

My heart ached.

Because this Raffi is just an illusion like Mallika.

But I think it would be good to adjust for now.

I don’t know what happened in the setting, but I wanted to hang out with her so that she could have a happy time before waking Master.
Wouldn’t that side be a better memory for Master?

“Rafi.”

Then a solemn voice is heard.
It’s master

However, the appearance of Master in his memory was a little different from what Siwoo knew.

First of all, it’s not a comfortable outfit to move in.
A silk dress and a shawl densely studded with small jewels.

On top of that, she, who prefers a loosely tied hairstyle, is putting on a hair ornament that looks like she put a lot of effort into it.

To put it simply, it was an outfit that could easily come to mind when you think of Gehenna’s ‘nobility’.

The atmosphere around her was quite different.
The archwitch’s arrogance and confidence, and the authority and dignity that wrap it up in a way that doesn’t make it awkward flow.

You said that until she lost Raffy, she wasn’t much different from other orthodox nobles.

He had no interest in what was going on in the present world, and he did not take any action to save humans dying by the homunculus and his exploits.
It means that there was not much difference from the Duke of Erelim.

Through this, it was possible to infer the worldview.
Master has never lost Raffi yet.

Then, how did Siu become her disciple?

“Don’t embarrass Siwoo too much.”
“Is it Master that I want to make trouble? Siwoo oppa, you know that? Master gets very restless when I hug him tightly.”
“Really?”
“Sure, would you like to see this?”
“Rafi!”

However, it seems that the essence does not change even with an unfamiliar master.
As soon as Raffy hugged Siwoo tightly, the authority and dignity disappeared somewhere and he stamped his feet.

“Master, are you going out anyway?”
“Did you forget? I asked you to go on a picnic to the garden today.”
“Put a mat on the grass, have a tea time, and draw watercolors! Oh, I’ll take care of embroidery too!”
“That’s good.”

It was the unfamiliar appearance of Master, but one thing was clear.

Eloa was smiling more happily than any other Siwoo had ever seen.

2.
For Eloah, a picnic with two disciples was always a happy time.

Especially on a sunny spring day like this.

Eloa, sitting on a wooden chair, smiled warmly and looked at the back of her student competing for a landscape painting.
He crocheted flowers and butterflies on handkerchiefs with French embroidery and quenched his thirst with black tea from time to time.

I never thought I would find this kind of joy in my later years.

I got an apprentice witch who wouldn’t hurt even if I put it in my eyes and a disciple I love.
Here, the disciple is Shin Si-woo, the first male witch in the history of witches.

Eloa and Siu met for the first time in this world, overcame adversity together, and formed a priestly relationship.
I haven’t told Raffy yet, but we’ve gone beyond a normal priestly relationship and become lovers.

“…”

It may be an idiosyncratic relationship that will attract public attention.
The priest-teacher relationship is so important in witch society.

Didn’t all sorts of gossip flow out of the Red Roof Mansion even if the professors at Trinity Academy were in a romantic relationship with the student they were teaching?

It might leave a blemish on the honor of the Duke of Tiphareth.
However, Eloa loved Siu more than those worries.

If there is one thing that bothers me, it is how Raffy will accept this.

Raffy, who had transferred the beautiful garden scenery intact to the canvas, approached with quick steps.

Seeu is still far away.
I can’t help it because I’m worse at drawing than Raffy.

“Master.”

Raffy acted cute to Eloa like a dog that listens well.
Eloah tidied up the lovely student’s hair while hugging her.

“Why?”
“There is something I forgot.”
“What did you leave behind?”
“Yes, so I think I should go to my room for a while.”

It was not like Raffy, who is meticulous and sharp in everything.
Eloa blinked for a moment.

“Are you good enough to go alone?”
“No, an hour… No, maybe three hours.”
“What did you leave behind that took so long?”

Eloa tilted her head.
It takes less than 15 minutes from here to Raffy’s room.
Well, it’s three hours.

Eloa put down the circular embroidery frame she was embroidering on and stood up.

“I don’t know what’s going on, but this master should help. Together…”
“Ah, Master!”

Raffy pushes Elroa back to her seat by pushing her shoulders.

“You still don’t know? Raffy’s specialty of cheering for Master’s love?”
“Buy, buy, love? What are you talking about?”

Eloah, the gentle and benevolent teacher is stripped away, and the shyness of a girl who has been caught having an unrequited love is oozing out.
Raffy is just standing proud with his hand on his waist.

“You already know everything.”
“Perhaps… Did Siu tell you?”
“Ugh, that’s a secret… Honey dripped every time the brother-in-law and Master met each other’s eyes? To the point where I was afraid that bees would come flying around.”

That you already knew.
Eloa didn’t know what face to make.

“Certainly Master, Master and disciple should not love each other… If Raffy finds out, he might be jealous, and he might look at you with a bad eye… You didn’t think so, did you?”

It was Eloah who had the same concerns without making a single mistake.
Raffy let out a deep sigh.

“Raffy likes Master. Siwoo’s brother-in-law is also good. I’ll leave the seat, so the two of you will have a sweet romance.”
“Rafi, do you have nothing to do with it?”

“What have I got to do with it? There is nothing more gratifying than saying that Master, who used to study magic every day, met a good man. I will support you from now on.”

The sight of him banging on his big chest was so cute and trustworthy that I wanted to bite him involuntarily.

But somehow it’s embarrassing.
Isn’t this the mother who is at a loss for her daughter’s sanctification that encourages remarriage?

“Master, I actually read a lot of romance novels, right?”
“I didn’t know that.”

Actually I know.
The fact that Raffy secretly hides romance novels in the head of her pillow.
The reason why the lamp turns off late at night is to take a quick look at the book.

Raffy was dignified for her age, but she was a dreamy girl who couldn’t fake her age.

“A surprise kiss. That’s important. Whether it’s a man or a woman, that’s for sure! Approach and smack the lips! If… Uhhhhh…”

Raffy, who was gesturing and giving advice as if it were his love affair, tapped Elroa on the shoulder.

“Catch the lip paint! I mean…”

Do such explicit expressions also appear in romance novels?

“Once I know.”
“Ugh, if you want to meet our shy teacher, Siwoo oppa must work hard.”
“Ra, Rafi… !”
“Master. Good luck. You know you have to be brave, right?”

Raffy gave a thumbs up and quickly disappeared with flying steps.
