One.

"Oooooh...."

As soon as he put Siwoo down on the bed, he made a strange noise and twisted his body.

Every time he tossed and turned, the strong smell of alcohol soon filled the room.

"Ugh."

"I need to open the window."

"I guess so."

Odile and Odette feel like they're diving in an oak barrel if things continue like this, so they open the window and ventilate the air.

"Assistant, wake up."

"Ugh..."

"Wake up assistant!"

"Uuuuuuu...!"

After that, I shook Siwoo several times, but he didn't budge.

With a strange groan.

All I do is frown and turn around.

The twins gave up trying to wake Siwoo.

"Okay, now let's decide what to do."

"What happened?"

"Didn't you have a drink to celebrate your body coming back?"

"Then what about the associate professor?"

"Hmm...."

The twins exchanged a few opinions about 'why the assistant is lying in a state of ruin on the first floor of Taro Town's outpost.'

However, since Si-woo, who knows the whole story, is sleeping with his mouth open, he is touching a blind elephant.

"First of all, we have two options."

"Are you leaving one behind like this?"

"Yes, and the other one is with my assistant."

"But… you'll never be allowed to stay out overnight, right?"

The twins secretly go to Tarot Town in the first place.

No matter how much it's a holiday, if it's mentioned that she'll stay out all night, it's clear that not only the strict head maid Galina but also the gentle master will get angry.

"So you have to do it without permission. "Of course you'll be worried, so let's send the pigeon away."

"Just giving notice...?"

Odette is startled by Odile's bold suggestion of deviation.

Her older sister's unconventional ideas that she sometimes came up with would be a huge shock to Odette, who had new breasts.

It's the same this time too.

"Uh, sister. Can't I just go home and sneak out at night? "I don't want to get scolded."

"I'll be staying here with my assistant."

"Then I'll do it on my own…"

"That's not possible either!"

If Odette returned home alone, Galina would definitely ask about Odile's whereabouts, and Odette, after being scolded, was sure to blurt out the whole truth.

If you do it wrong, your secret relationship with your assistant will be goodbye forever.

"Why do I have to stay…?"

"Odette, even though you're so drunk, don't you understand the true intentions of the assistant who came to see us? "That means you missed us that much!"

"Is that so...?"

"How heartbroken that assistant would be if there was no one by her side when she opened her eyes!"

"is it....?"

"I can't do such cruel things. "I'd rather be by Josu's side, even if I get scolded a little later!"

"I see...."

It didn't take much effort to convince Odette.

Moreover, the story has progressed in a direction that does not even consider the first option, 'Leave it as is'.

Even though Odette grumbles, she basically follows her sister very well.

"Anyway, that's what I know. "I will fly Jeonseo-gu."

"Ugh… That's scary…"

"Odette, we spent our holiday today in such a meaningless way. Thanks to the assistant, it will start to have meaning from now on! Let's think positively."

"Yes, I understand, sister."

Odile goes to the rooftop and tries to fly a dove to Count Gemenai's house.

Odette, who was looking at Siwoo's face, called Odile to him.

"Sister, sister. "Come and see me for a moment."

"why? "Isn't the story over?"

"That's not it, Assistant... Hasn't something changed?"

"what?"

Odile, who was closely examining Siwoo's stretched out body, also noticed something.

"right? "Isn't it strange?"

"I know?"

What can I say? First of all, he looks much younger than his previous assistant.

Should I say that he now has the appearance of someone in his early twenties?

It didn't stop there.

"Haven't you become a little more handsome?"

"I thought that too."

I didn't notice because he was sleeping with a strange expression, his face flushed, his hair all matted.

The current Siwoo was definitely different from his previous self.

First of all, all the acne scars here and there are gone, so my skin is like that of a newborn.

Siwoo was originally handsome, but even his unbalanced skeleton seemed to have been completely corrected in some places.

Of course, it was so small that you had to look very closely to notice it.

"Were you more handsome when you were younger?"

"I don't know. "First of all, you go home."

"Okay, I get it."

2.

The room suddenly became quiet.

Si-woo, who was lying in bed, opened his eyes, holding his forehead that was about to split.

"I'm going to search...."

I just opened my eyes and moved them slightly, and the sound of dying spontaneously came out.

Honestly, I think it hurt less when Ea pierced my brain.

My throat felt dry, as if it had been completely cracked, and it felt like a large bell was ringing in my head.

"Where am I...."

I only remember ordering a second bottle of whiskey at the White Whale Bar and opening the cork.

After that, the film was completely cut out.

Siwoo squinted his eyes and looked around the dark room.

Looking at the bed with a canopy and the familiar layout of the room, it looked like the twins' villa in Taro Town.

When I try to get up, I feel a weight in my arms.

Odile on the left.

Odette on the right.

"....Ko...."

"...Hmm...."

The twins, each wearing pajamas, were curled up and sleeping, each using one of Siwoo's arms as a pillow.

In fact, rather than pajamas, she is wearing a loose inner one-piece dress and underwear called drawers.

This is the underwear that the twins always wear under their clothes.

"uh?"

Did you make a really big mistake?

Shiwoo, who was a little scared, looked around with a headache that hurt from even the slightest movement, but fortunately the twins were dressed very neatly.

At best, I was a little disturbed in my sleep, so I was relieved.

I spent a hot night with the twins, speechless and without memory... I guess the same thing never happened.

"Whoa...."

Perhaps because I was surprised, I felt a little confused.

In hindsight, my heart starts to sting.

What is Amelia doing now? This is because the thought came to mind reflexively.

Forcing myself to ignore that thought, I carefully pulled out my arm so as not to wake the twins.

I think I need to drink some water first.

Otherwise, I feel like I'll be left behind right away.

Siwoo awkwardly opened the door and went down the dark stairs.

Perhaps because of the sudden vibration, my stomach turns.

"Ugh….Ugh…Ugh….!"

Siwoo held onto the railing and retched.

You shouldn't throw up here! There was no time to think urgently.

It felt like I had vomited everything with my esophagus wide open...

"uh....?"

Fucked, I thought.

In fact, there are only a few drops of saliva and a small amount of sore water at the feet.

I don't know how long I've been lying down, but it's unlikely that digestion was completed in just a few hours.

"Use it."

Siwoo roughly wiped the drool hanging from the corner of his mouth.

Normally I wouldn't know, but right now I don't want to worry about it that much.

My head was like an ember with a faint smoke rising from a splash of water, but the cold midnight air stuck to my skin.

Siwoo arrived at the kitchen with unsteady steps, grabbed a water bottle with three slices of lemon in it, and took a gulp of water.

Feeling as if your insides are being washed away along with the stale smell of alcohol.

Water leaked under my chin and soaked my clothes, but I didn't care and drank almost half of it in one go.

"Hehe... I guess I'll finally live now."

I stood there silently for a while holding a water bottle with my dazed head.

I don't know what to think about first.

I don't know where to start.

Siwoo was only left with the feeling that his heart was constricted and blood was not flowing.

Let's not think about anything.

You just have to stay like this.

"uh....."

Something flowed from my eyes.

I don't know what's sad, I don't know why I'm crying, but the tears just come out.

My nose didn't get itchy, my eyes stung, and my throat didn't get stuffy.

I felt like my heart was broken.

"Assistant?"

I put down the water bottle and was about to go back.

A sleepy voice came from behind me.

When I turned around, I saw Odile rubbing her eyes and suppressing a yawn.

"I was surprised to find out where you went. Haaam..."

In the end, as Odile yawned and covered her mouth, her inner dress was seen rising slightly and sticking to her belly button.

"Odile..."

"By the looks of it, all your memories have come back?"

"....yes."

Although the twins were happy to see Si-woo, he didn't seem to care much, so it was a little disappointing.

But what can I do?

It could be that I haven't sobered up yet, or it could be that I'm sleepy.

Odile was standing in the moonlight pouring in through the living room window, and Siu was standing inside the dark restaurant, so Odile could not see his face properly yet.

"Give me water too. "I'm thirsty."

Odile approached Siwoo, dragging his slippers, and was surprised when he extended his arm to Siwoo.

Because tears were flowing from his eyes.

Odile looks up at Siwoo with wide eyes.

"Uh... w-what is it? Are you sick?"

Siwoo wiped his eyes with his sleeve.

I didn't really want to show my unsightly appearance.

"No, it's okay."

"Are you sure it's okay?"

"Did you just walk in on your own? "Did you do anything rude?"

Siwoo intentionally changes the topic of conversation.

Odile looked at him with worried eyes and nodded calmly.

"Well, I suddenly came into someone else's villa and was lying down in a weird position, but other than that?"

"Yes. sorry."

"Do you have anything to be sorry about? Did you just forget it? The assistant is a benefactor who saved our lives twice. I don't care as long as I don't set the villa on fire. No, even if you set it on fire, I'll forgive you once."

To comfort Si-woo, who looked very downcast, Odile spoke in a light voice as much as possible and tapped Si-woo's arm.

"I don't do that."

Siwoo laughs helplessly.

Perhaps it's Odile's antics, but I feel much better than when I was just standing there blankly.

"Anyway, would you like some water?"

"yes."

Siwoo poured water into a cup that was sitting next to the shelf and handed it to Odile.

Odile took the glass of water and drank it down.

"Ugh! "It's cool."

Actually, the spirit body didn't need to drink water, but its throat was sore, probably because it fell asleep with Siwoo, who was smelling like alcohol, as a cushion.

Odile puts down her glass and speaks to Siu, who still seems to be in a bean field.

"Well, assistant."

Siu looked at Odile.

Just a little while ago, even though he was in front of me, his eyes seemed to be half-seeing through me.

Now I can finally see her properly.

"yes?"

Odile, standing at an angle in the dim moonlight, was holding the hem of her dress tightly and idly stroking her hair.

After hesitating, she purses her lips.

"I'm not going to bother asking. "If you're having a hard time, you can tell me."

He glances at Siwoo, then looks away again and continues speaking.

"I'm on the assistant's side."

The moment I heard those kind words, I felt like the stick that was barely supporting my body collapsed.

It feels like a stopper has come out of my head.

Something flowed out without any hesitation.

Without realizing it, Siwoo hugged Odile in front of him.

The small, soft body is held tightly in Siwoo's arms.

"Ugh!"

Odile's force was so strong that it made a crushing sound.

"Jo, assistant...! "You were surprised!"

Odile was surprised by Siwoo's sudden attack, but soon realized that his shoulders were shaking.

He was crying.

As soon as I felt warmth from the place where I touched, the feeling of loss for what I had lost reappeared as if it were clearly colored.

Right now, I felt like I wanted to cling to someone.

Odile's shoulders were damp with tears.

Odile slowly stroked Siwoo's shaking head.

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm not going anywhere. Here it is. "I'm here, assistant."

Odile patted his back and hugged his head.

Feeling that his nose and eyes were getting sore for no reason, I hugged him for a while until Siwoo calmed down.
