One.

Siwoo felt warmth wrapping around his back.

Odile's body, which is much smaller than Siu's, wraps around him like a warm cushion.

My mind, which was as confused as a bouncing ball, became a little calmer.

The vector of my mind, which had been wandering with nowhere to go, seemed to have been sorted out a bit.

"Are you feeling refreshed?"

Siu slowly pulled away from Odile.

Odile, who was holding him like she was holding a large teddy bear, gently let go of his shoulder.

I know that it is temporary anesthesia.

As time goes by and Amelia's conflicting side comes to mind, Siwoo will definitely be distressed.

Nevertheless, Siwoo wiped the remaining water from his eyes and smiled.

"It feels like it's been a long time since I last saw you. Odile."

"What, are you coming to say hello now?"

Odile laughs as Siwoo laughs.

For some reason, the tip of her nose was also red.

It's like she's about to shed tears at any moment.

Odile sniffled, dragged Siu's wrist and sat down on the sofa.

"Now, sit here."

"Is it okay if you don't sleep? "It's already too late."

The grandfather clock next to the fireplace already shows 3 a.m.

It's late at night and the plants are asleep, but Odile is quite energetic.

Si-woo belatedly remembers a fact that he had been unable to recall due to lack of momentum.

"Wait. "This is the villa now, right?"

"huh."

"You don't have to go back to the mansion?"

"I got permission to stay out today. "Don't worry, assistant."

Siwoo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If she had stayed out without permission to take care of him because she had crawled in, she would have been very concerned.

Odile, who was looking at his face, spoke.

"I think the assistant will have a lot to say when he comes back. Now that I look at it like this, I feel like I saw it yesterday too. Strange."

"is that so? "I feel like I saw you a long time ago."

"Where do memories come from? Do you remember how we went to visit the hospital every week? "What about going to the public bathhouse with us?"

As soon as he heard that it was a large public bath, Siwoo stiffened.

When I think about it, I remember when I was young (I don't know if this is the right expression), I followed my twin to the large public bathhouse.

Perhaps because it was such an impressive experience, it was a memory clearly engraved in Siwoo's mind.

For example, when Odile tried to thoroughly wash Siu's dick...

"I have memories from when I was young. I don't remember anything after I collapsed. "Thank you for coming every week."

"Of course you should come visit! "The assistant got hurt because of someone."

Odile speaks while gently shaking her legs on the sofa.

He was frowning a little apologetically, so I gently patted his head.

I didn't have any special thoughts.

I just wanted to do that.

"..."

Odile, who seemed secretly excited a moment ago, calmed down as soon as Siu stroked her head.

He calmly folds his hands in his lap with a strange expression.

It was only after Siwoo, who thought he did it for no reason, withdrew his hand, that Odile finally opened his mouth.

"This is the only time I'm letting you pat my head without permission."

"Yes, I know."

That look was very cute.

Even though they were just having a conversation, Odile was able to suppress the sad memories for a while, probably thanks to Odile's innate positive energy.

"But assistant, are your eyes not healed? "I keep wearing an eye patch."

"Oh, this is..."

Siwoo hesitated whether to speak up or not.

He has no way of knowing why, but his left eye is currently acting as a 'brand' for a witch.

It was playing the role of absorbing the surrounding magic, magnetizing it, and containing his magnetic magic.

Previously, in order to use magic, Siwoo had to calculate each item from 1 to 100, but now it feels like the calculations for 50 to 70 have been completed.

If the three most basic elements of magic are conversion, change, and development, the brand automatically takes charge of some of the conversion and development parts.

Siwoo is automatically manifested by substituting only slightly changed variables in the change part.

There is no comparison in terms of speed of using magic since you can decide at the time how many paths to take.

The problem is that, let alone magnetic magic, there has never been an example in history where a man had a stigma.

Looking through the library's past records, I often heard of witches creating their own stigmas, but there were no cases of 'males'.

What this means is that most witches will turn a blind eye and chase after you.

"Sorry, I asked something unnecessary..."

"no."

While I was hesitating whether I should tell Odile or not, she apologized first.

Perhaps he thought that this obstacle could not be overcome.

"..."

"..."

Odile was the first to break the momentary silence.

"Assistant, do you want to go up and sleep now? "It's too late."

Odile gets up from the sofa and rubs her butt.

However, Si-woo's behavior is suspicious as he hesitates next to Si-woo when he asks him to get up first.

What do you want...

Siwoo tilts his head.

"Is that so?"

"No, assistant, are you very tired?"

Odile suddenly changed his mind.

Honestly, I'm not that tired.

Perhaps because I fell asleep from the effects of alcohol in the evening, I felt alert as if it were morning.

"No, I'm not tired...."

"Then do you want to go for a night walk with me?"

"A night walk?"

"I've never been to Taro Town before. "I'm curious."

It's a walk.

It was obvious that if I went into bed now, I would be tossing and turning in a groggy mood.

In that case, it wouldn't be a bad idea to walk around and breathe in the fresh night air.

"great."

"okay! Then I'll get ready!"

"Oh, what about Odette?"

"Odette is sleeping, so let's leave her alone."

Odile, with an excited smile as if she had just yawned, runs off somewhere.

She returned shortly afterwards, wearing a large hooded cloak over the clothes she was wearing and holding a beer bottle in both hands.

"braided! "I prepared a box of these for you to toast with when you wake up."

"This is...."

Siwoo's hands were shaking as he held the chilled beer bottle.

A familiar brown bottle, a logo with a cool font, and even an aluminum bottle cap with pointed teeth.

Because it looked so familiar.

KASS.

"I got it because my assistant said it was the most famous beer in his hometown. "It's in the carriage too, so let me know if you want to drink it later."

"Odile...."

"I will refrain from expressing too much gratitude."

I thought I was done crying earlier, but I feel overwhelmed again.

Odile may have thought that he would hug her tightly this time, but he secretly avoided her.

Still, it seems pleasant to see that he is smiling and liking the gift he has prepared.

"Thank you very much."

"Well, to this extent."

Siwoo left the villa, following Odile, who walked lightly like a cat with its nose raised.

2.

It was Siwoo's first time taking a walk at such an late hour.

Taro Town, which was always full of noisy activity, becomes quiet under the night dew.

All the buildings lined up around the road had their lights turned off, casting only shadows.

It was so quiet that Odile cried once! If I scream, it feels like everything will fall apart.

"Hmm~ I feel like I'm in another world."

Odile walked with a brisk pace, holding a beer bottle in one hand.

Siwoo, who was leisurely following behind, was also getting excited about the cheap beer.

Compared to the draft beer sold at the White Whale Bar, it had a terrible taste that could be described as urine, but that made it even more delicious.

It's a taste I've missed so much.

"Assistant, is that really delicious? "To be honest, I don't like it so I'll give you mine if you need it."

Odile, who was walking on the street under the moonlight like a singer on stage, saw Siwoo savoring the taste of beer as if he were drinking holy water, and smiled as if he had seen something strange.

Of course, even if he drinks beer, Odile drinks only the highest quality craft beers. Factory beer with a lot of additives would not be to his taste.

"Yes, it's good because it's a nostalgic taste. "Having chicken here is just the icing on the cake."

"chicken? chicken?"

"The chicken is pickled in salt, then coated with batter and fried in oil. "In this world, regardless of country, we eat a lot."

"There's something else like that."

Odile and Siu are so quiet that they talk almost in a whisper.

While the cool night air filled their lungs and they repeated nonsense, the two soon arrived at the fountain square in Taro Town.

There are no stands selling goods, and there are no touts touting customers.

The sound of horse hooves and cart wheels making loud noises as they step on the uneven road has now disappeared.

A large fountain stands in the middle of the square, overlooking the quiet street with flowing silver cloth.

"pretty."

"yes."

The two stood in front of the fountain and stared at it gushing water for a while.

The sound of water splashing on the surface seems to have a calming effect on the heart.

"Do you want to look closer? "There will be some water droplets splashing."

"Good."

Odile took Siu's hand and led him near the fountain.

I could see the coins on the floor shining brightly.

"I know that? "The lucky coins thrown into the fountain are collected by City Hall and used for fountain maintenance costs?"

"That's a fact I didn't know."

"uh? "But isn't that a gold coin?"

"Gold coins?"

According to Siwoo's calculations, the value of one gold coin is approximately 800,000 won in Korean won.

This is considering the price of Gehenna, where daily necessities are significantly cheaper than luxury goods, but in any case, one gold coin is quite a lot of money.

There's a crazy guy who throws it into the fountain?

I heard there are a lot of merchants, but is this some kind of Gehenna-style trick?

Odile pushed Siwoo's back as he looked down at the fountain, thinking about all sorts of things.

I guess the reason I asked to see the gold coins in the first place was for this purpose.

"Geuak!"

"Ouch!"

Siwoo suddenly lost his balance and accidentally grabbed Odile's cloak, causing the two to fall into the fountain together.

-with a splash!

The refreshing sound of water.

There was no need to struggle as it was barely up to the waist, but it was natural for people to get their hair wet as they splashed into it as if they were throwing themselves into Indangsu.

I didn't say I was particularly angry or anything, but just laughed.

I never thought I'd just push it into the fountain.

"What are you doing all of a sudden?"

"Ugh, assistant! Do you have a lot of agility? "I never thought I would choose Donggwijin there."

"I just grabbed it because I was scared?"

"Anyway."

Likewise, Odile, who looked like a wet squirrel, was unable to hide her anger and shook her head like a puppy.

And then he smiles and says:

"I've always wanted to go in every time I see this fountain. "There is no time to go in except when there are no people like now."

"What about my doctor?"

"He looked so gloomy, so I tried to take him swimming with me."

But there was something Odile did not expect.

Since this fountain uses groundwater directly, the water temperature is colder than expected.

To make matters worse, even though it is a much warmer spring day, the nights are still chilly.

"But it's so cold. "It's cold."

"Yes? Climb up without losing strength. "I will listen to you."

There was no ladder or anything, so it seemed difficult for Odile to climb up alone.

Well, it was natural since the fountain wasn't meant to be entered.

"Wait a moment before that."

Odile took the initiative and briefly dissuaded Siu, who was trying to become a foot rest, and walked towards Siu, cutting through the waist-deep water.

"Assistant, do you remember our contract?"

"A contract?"

"Yes, I agreed to do it in exchange for handing over the music box."

"ah."

Thanks to ruminating on the memory not long ago, I remembered it clearly even though a long time had passed.

This is what Odile suddenly came to Siwoo's room and suggested.

One of us will go to Yeongsan together.

Prove that Hana feels good when she touches Odile's back hole.

The last one is probably...

"Your assistant decided to teach me about love."

love.

Just hearing this makes Siwoo feel disgusted, having experienced various things just today.

'If this is love, I don't need it!' It's to the point where I occasionally think that I did a good job of living as an employee for the rest of my life, shouting the same thoughts to myself.

Odile's face came closer.

The distance was close enough to clearly see her large eyes, bright purple eyes, and even the hair that stuck to her cheek.

"After my assistant collapsed, I read some books and I found that men and women in love do stupid things. "I thought I might learn something if I followed along."

"Are you stupid?"

"Yes, something like this, for example."

Odile slowly approached, pulled Siu by the collar and locked lips with him.

To be honest, I thought I should reject her until I locked lips with her.

Because I haven't finished sorting out my emotions yet.

However, the moment Odile's harsh tongue penetrates between Siwoo's lips.

I felt something explode.

Siwoo held Odile's waist tightly and their tongues mixed together, as if the confused emotions were drawn into a kindness that one could comfortably look forward to.

"Puh-ha!"

The kiss itself wasn't very long.

Odile immediately spoke out with a red face at Siu's positive response.

Odile looked at Siwoo with trembling eyes for a long time, and a smile appeared on her lips.

Eventually, he shyly covered his mouth and laughed.

Isn't it a great disservice to Odile that the person who comes to mind in that image is Amelia?

Odile smiled brightly and said, not knowing that Siu felt guilty inside.

"Fall in the fountain and kiss while getting wet. "Don't you look very stupid?"

The illusion of Amelia that had been vaguely overlaid on Odile left.

The one smiling before my eyes was Odile.

Only then did Siwoo manage to smile.

"Yes."
