Chapter 252 – 22. Harem Clan Strengthening

Click.

The locked door opened, and the heads of a man and a woman popped out from the gap.

“Here.”

“This…”

Han Si-woo looked around the dark space and spat out small words.

“Garret?”

“Hehe, that’s right.”

Ash, who reached the attic first, held out her hand toward Siwoo.

He doesn’t have to hold hands, but he’s a man who doesn’t dare refuse.

I took his hand and went upstairs and entered a simple and comfortable space.

“Hmm.”

It’s a hidden place, and the attic doesn’t even have stairs.

Considering that the former owner of the mansion was an aristocrat who was a wealthy man, the purpose is highly questionable.

Usually, property is hidden in the basement or a nearby room, so maybe it was hidden in a secret attic in the corner for surprise. For no reason, such doubts kept blooming and made me look around. Of course, I did my best to make sure it wasn’t obvious to Ash.

‘It’s pretty wide.’

Inside a fairly spacious attic.

It’s sturdy when you gently tap the floor.

‘… Is it a real cache?’

However, there is nothing that can be called a hidden property to be called a hiding place.

I don’t think Ash would have cleaned it up.

That’s when she wondered if she should ask Gwen about the existence of her attic.

I heard Ash’s explanation that calmed my stomach.

“Gwen says it’s where her mother used to hide her mistresses or prostitutes from her husband.”

“…? You know Gwen too?”

“Yes. I made the discovery. Ah, the only ones who know here are me and Gwen. …Now, Siu oppa is there too. Hehe.”

“I see…”

It must have been a place used to hide mistresses and prostitutes.

As it was in the past, there are no traces of life left, but there is a window above, so it doesn’t seem bad to hide.

‘I heard that they were quite harmonious thanks to their wealth, but it doesn’t seem like that.’

I was startled by the prostitute part, but it wasn’t that strange.

It’s a reverse world, but surprisingly there are no male prostitutes and there are prostitutes.

The reason why there are no male prostitutes is that the number of male prostitutes is very small, and it is easy to get a few suitable females just by being male without having to sell your body. It’s not that there aren’t any, but there are only two prostitutes on the continent.

‘There are quite a lot of homosexuals, so it was strange that there were prostitutes. It doesn’t seem to be very popular, though.’

There are no men, but really lonely and hungry women, or some high-ranking people are said to be the main targets.

“Sit here, brother!”

“Thank you.”

Following Ash’s guidance, Siwoo took a seat by the window.

There were actually two people who knew this place, so there were two cushions.

There is no dust, maybe Gwen cleaned it up with magic, but she sat on the cushion because the floor was hard.

Ash also quietly put a cushion next to him and settled down at an ambiguous distance.

Siwoo laughed at the sight and grabbed her by the shoulder and pulled her tight.

“Huh…!”

“Stay a little longer.”

“…Yes♡”

A cute girl with ash blonde hair who clings to her as soon as she speaks.

It was a bit chilly in the attic, so Siwoo covered Ash with a blanket.

And I looked at the diagonal windows where the rain was still pouring.

“Good.”

“Yes?”

Ash’s voice was full of confidence and pride.

“It’s been a while since I discovered it. I’ve thought about it several times. My brother and I want to come together. It’s my first time on a rainy day, but it’s even prettier on a sunny day or when it snows!”

“Haha, winter has already passed, so the day to see snow is far off.”

“Ah… That’s right…”

“But I’m not bad at this either?”

“Is that so?”

“Yeah. Listen carefully.”

“…”

Ash quietly shut his mouth at Siwoo’s words.

Soon the attic was filled with the sound of rain falling on the windows and roof.

Tuduk. Tuduk. Thump.

The roof is strong like a luxurious mansion where money is poured into.

So the one in the window was a little louder. It happened that the two of them were sitting close to the window.

Regular rain sound.

It’s much more tasteful and emotional than what I heard outside with the noise.

After a while, Siu asked her.

“How is it? Do you think it’s okay?”

“…Yes.”

“Hehe, you’re not forcing yourself to answer because of me, right? It’s nothing special…”

“Ah, no! It can’t be! I really like it!”

“Then I’m glad.”

Ash, her face flushed red, crumpled the hem of her petite skirt and struggled to lift her head up.

The red flush must have already been caught, but if you keep your face down in shame, it will be even weirder. Even if it wasn’t that, it was nice to be close to Siwoo and looking in the same direction. I can feel his warmth even more.

‘Oh, that’s a big deal…’

Ash was directly aware of the abnormal reaction that had occurred in her own body.

A heart beating louder than in a cafe.

In a calm and serene atmosphere, the heart beats without notice.

It must have been a situation where only the sound of the rain could be heard because there was less talking to each other than in other places.

‘Your brother will hear it too…’

My heart is beating so fast that I can’t turn my head.

Shoot ah, the sound of rain falling.

The sound of rain crashing and pounding.

And to the thumping and beating of the heart.

Those that filled the attic soon became a heartbeat.

At the name he called.

“Ash.”

“…Yes.”

“Stop looking out the window and look this way.”

Maybe that’s what makes my heart flutter.

Ash bent his head with difficulty, then turned his head to the side.

‘Ah… ♥’

I see the face of the person I love.

Close.

It is closer to the art museum than to the tea cafe.

The shoulder that touched him was slightly pressed.

‘… To?’

Ash felt something strange.

She was the closest she’d ever been to him. The face in front of her nose was so handsome that it showed no flaws. He was a handsome man who shone in her eyes, one of her nose, and all over her mouth.

But why is that handsome face getting closer?

Siu softly said a word to the girl who was questioning her.

“You’re brave.”

The word was said while getting close enough to match the word “In front of your nose”.

Ash, who only then understood the situation, opened her eyes wide.

‘Huh?’

On the contrary, she wound up.

I closed my eyes so tightly that there were wrinkles around my eyes.

“…Cute.”

‘Could I have noticed now?’

She was about to kiss her, but her eyes were staring, so she thought she mustered up the courage for her, but it wasn’t the case. She laughed because he was not cute.

Could it be that he intended to create such an atmosphere and not do anything? Or maybe she thought it was a bit later. However, it was hard for Shiu to bear it. Ash didn’t have a nice figure on her body, but she looked really cute with her glasses off.

Side.

Lips finally met.

Ash was still unmoved.

Still, Siwoo, who did not expect much from her, kissed her a little more intensely.

“Side. Jjook. Jjook.”

“Yeah… Um, hehe…♡”

Ash reacts when he moves his lips slightly.

A moan escaped from between her pursed lips.

Here, it was inevitable that Siwoo would take her hand to her waist.

Flinch.

‘To? To? What?’

When she gently touches her waist, her fingers stretch from one to the other.

Soon, Siu wrapped her entire palm, and then wrapped it around her arm and pulled her waist tight.

That active action did not make Ash realize the current situation.

Then, when Siwoo’s chest and stomach touched, she suddenly apologized to the two of them.

‘Hyeyeon unnie, Gwen. Sorry!’

The two best friends in the clan mansion, no, in the world.

Baek Hye-yeon was introduced to Si-woo at the training camp for warriors, and they have been steadily building friendships. She is also quite introverted and doesn’t know how to play, but her personality is good. Jung was especially good at Ash, who was like her cute little brother.

And a friend who doesn’t even know how old she is, Gwen. Although she has decreased recently, she is the one who always shouts about her sex and aims for a strong relationship with Siu whenever she has a chance. She hadn’t been able to do anything yet because of her dull phantom body or, conversely, an overly sensitive homunculus body.

Ash apologized to both of them.

‘I’ll become an adult first… ♥’

For some reason, Ash’s heart became elated and his chest bulged forward as a reflex.

“Jjok, jjook, yes, chureup… Heheung…♡”

The quick-learning girl followed the man, sticking out her lips and copying his movements.

She, who was learning to kiss faster than Hyeyeon, hadn’t even thought about it.

Rattle!

“Ah, here it was… Uh.”

That she would be disturbed by the one other person who knew about this attic, her friend Gwen.

“…”

“Oh sorry…”

Gwen properly witnesses the kiss and awkwardly apologizes.

Instead of falling away from Siwoo in surprise, Ash, who tasted a little more kiss and slowly moved away, looked at her friend with an expressionless face. Feeling no emotion, Gwen trembled at the frightened face of hers.

“Hey, Ash?”

“…”

“No, uh, I’m so sorry! I didn’t do that on purpose!”

“…”

“Ash! Loosen up your expression!”

Despite Gwen’s request for lamentation, Ash, now fully horned, rather hardened her expression.

And the low ceiling in the attic lifted her up and crawled slowly towards the door.

Her dark room, her long hair with extensions, and her crawling posture add to the terrifying atmosphere. Just as her badly-timed lightning strikes a horror movie-like rendition, Gwen begins to run away.

“Gwen…Stand there…!!”

Ash started chasing after him.

In the end, Siwoo, who was left alone in the attic, swallowed the dejection alone.

It was the idea of ​​going to the end in line with what Ash was determined to do, but it ended very futilely.

“Tsk. I’ll have to scold you later.”

Siwoo sighed and turned his head to look up at his window.

Although it had just been struck by lightning, the rain had subsided quite a bit.

After a while, Ash returned to the attic with a limp Gwen, and the three of them stayed there talking for a while. The bizarre atmosphere has faded, but it was a fun time in its own way.

And after a few days

They arrived from the Empire.
