Chapter 1008 – #242_Magical University Tycoon (3)
#1002
One.
Late at night, when even the vegetation is quietly sleeping.
However, for witches who did not need sleep, night was a research time in which they could immerse themselves in magic research in a quiet atmosphere.
“Um…”
Baron Louisa Moiety, the ‘witch of softness’, stretched after organizing the data from today’s experiment.
“It’s already time…”
The hour hand of the watch he glanced at already pointed to 3:00, and Moiety sighed deeply at the result of the experiment, which was hardly progressing.
Even though she has been devoted to her magic research for over a hundred years, she loses her will on days that continue with only her mediocre achievements like today.
Now, the ‘regular announcement’, in which Castle announces research results every quarter, is just two weeks away.
The emotional burden and the continued impatience in the sluggish situation made her heart pound unpleasantly.
“I feel sad…”
Luisa took the alchemy tools used in her experiment and went to the workshop.
Even though there are only 10 Meigas class members in the Emerald Tablet, her workshop and mansion are located in the pear grove outside the castle.
Her castle, which boasts of her high population density, was a place she wanted to avoid for her dislike of crowds and pursuit of her idyllic lifestyle.
She thinks about this and that as she walks the promenade from the studio to the mansion, but as expected, she can’t find a sharp solution.
Can’t be
I have no choice but to formally skip this regular announcement and do my best next time.
Now even the moonlight shining down on the promenade is giving off a gloomy sense of boredom.
Baron Moiety, who entered her mansion, heard a startling remark from her lady-in-waiting, who was waiting in front of her gate.
“Master, Baron Shin Si-woo has come to visit.”
“I beg your pardon? Baron Shin Si-woo?”
“Yes.”
“Where is he now? Why didn’t you contact me?”
“The owner heard that he was studying and said he would wait in the drawing room.”
Originally, she was going to enjoy a bath with alcohol and go to bed after a while.
It was quite tiring.
However, as soon as she heard the maid’s words, her fatigue and drowsiness disappeared.
It’s already 3 in the morning now.
If you are close friends, it doesn’t matter what time you visit, but on the contrary, if you are not close, then you should not visit.
However, far from being unpleasant, curiosity and some kind of anticipation bloom.
“Ah, I get it. Tiffany, will you prepare a change of clothes after I send a message to wait a little longer?”
There is no witch who dresses up like a flower in a studio and studies.
The current moiety outfit is a magpie house with a white gown and hair roughly tied up.
I don’t know if it’s even that important or not, but the top and bottom underwear are the same.
“Ah, even the underwear, please.”
The lady-in-waiting, taken aback by her words to prepare her underwear, lowered her head, and she asked in secret.
“Are you a boyfriend? You were frighteningly handsome.”
“Oh hey, it’s the main book again. Get ready quickly.”
“Then, I will serve as a colonel in very sexy underwear and clothes.”
“Tiffany!”
The lady-in-waiting, giggling at her baron’s disapproving orders, straightened her posture again and bowed her head.
Luisa cleaned her body with a cleaning magic, ran to the powder room, put on her makeup, matched her underwear, wore a revealing dress that Tiffany had prepared for her, but wore high heels and ran to the drawing room.
Of course, he had no intention of forgetting his duty as a baron.
There is no plan to show a cheap look that is excited all over the place with a sudden visit.
“Sorry for making you wait so long. If you give me a message in advance…”
She tried to show the appearance of a host responding to sudden guests while maintaining her dignity…
“… Excuse me suddenly at such a late hour.”
As soon as I saw him sitting on the sofa waiting, I couldn’t stop talking.
The last time I was with him was at a prom just two days ago.
On that day, Baron Shin Si-woo, who made me dance an unforgettable and ecstatic waltz even in my dreams, was literally like a rising aristocrat.
It should be said that it is an incomparably strong impression compared to the home visit.
I felt the eyes overflowing with passion and the spirit of a young lion who seemed ready to fight against any danger.
“Are you okay?”
But now he is like a wounded beast.
The white shirt was crumpled and disheveled, with dry chapped lips and dark circles.
Cigarette butts and empty alcohol bottles piled up in an ashtray are scattered on the drawing room table.
He looked very tired and exhausted.
“You looked ugly.”
“Oh, no… ! It wasn’t too bad.”
“…”
Is it okay if I sit next to you?
Baron Moiety hesitated a little before sitting down on the same sofa as Siwoo.
Although he was maliciously illuminated by Dandelion, Luisa did not think he was such a bad person.
It doesn’t take a day or two to spread exaggerated rumors in the gossip, and above all, isn’t one of the charms worth acknowledging?
Even her disheveled appearance is sexy.
And I feel good inside.
Have you ever heard that a creature called a man has such a strong ego that he refuses to show his weakness?
However, I feel that I have received special treatment in that I can honestly show my weak side like this.
“What happened?”
“No. While waiting, I thought… I don’t think it’s something to tell Baron Moiety.”
When asked carefully, Shin Si-woo shook his head.
“There were a lot of rude people. I hope to see you again next time.”
“Now, wait a minute.”
Siwoo barely smiles and gets up from his seat.
Baron Moiety involuntarily grabbed his sleeve.
I’m curious about what I’m curious about, but it’s because I felt sorry for sending it like this.
“Tell me slowly. Our relationship isn’t old, but we’ve come this far.”
“But…”
“I have time anyway, so you can listen to me.”
Moiety, who soothed Siwoo and sat him back down, filled an empty glass with alcohol, lit a cigarette together, and bit into his mouth.
This may be a bit too much of an idea, but…
I like the current Siwoo Shin rather than the proud and dignified Baron.
At that moment, he felt a strong feeling that he could not overcome.
In the witch society, the long-established moiety dominates in terms of honor and trust, but in all other respects, wasn’t he a rapidly developing prospect?
But now, a really bad idea…
Maybe, if we take advantage of this situation, we can get closer to him? I can’t help but think of a place to do it.
“Actually…”
However, at his words that followed, Baron Moiety couldn’t help but feel apologetic.
It is said that he received an offer from Count Cagliostro alone.
A poison treaty that requires permission to intervene in the operation of the Chesed Society in return for assistance.
Shin Si-woo rejected this.
Count Cagliostro immediately responded with a display of skill, and as a result, today’s ambitiously prepared meeting for the small society presidents’ meeting had a heartbreaking ending with zero participants.
“Such a thing… I couldn’t have imagined it.”
Selfishness is selfishness, and human compassion is compassion.
After hearing the episode where no one came to the birthday party he had prepared for so long, I could understand why he was having such a hard time and why he was reluctant to tell Moiety about it.
First of all, the moiety is also a person from Castle’s side.
In fact, such political maneuvering is common even in Gehenna.
However, Baron Moiety was a scholar-type witch who was purely devoted to learning among the orthodox, so she first learned that such a thing had happened through Siu’s mouth.
“I don’t think he did anything wrong. If there’s something you can do, you should do it. It is true that I was inadequate in coping.”
“I still think it was too much. A conference that hasn’t even started yet…”
Shiu lowered his head and washed his face dry.
Luisa swallowed and rubbed his back.
It’s true that even though they weren’t directly involved in this, they belonged to the same company.
I feel sorry.
Moiety said something he wouldn’t have normally said.
“Should I talk to the dean? Still, I do have a say.”
In fact, he’s not that big compared to his rank, but for now, he’s the Moiety Baron who’s bluffing.
“No, I didn’t come to Moiety to ask for that kind of favor.”
Contrary to expectations, he rejected her offer with a single stroke.
“It was something I had to be prepared for from the moment I decided to lead the society. It was late, but the resolution did not fade. Even though I am in this situation now, I will one day stand proudly in front of Count Cagliostro on my own.”
Not only that, but even in the atmosphere where he still looks haggard, his eyes show a firm wit.
“How… Be dignified…”
The moiety is not stupid either.
From the time he came to me at this late hour and from the time he confessed his grievances, there were things that bothered me.
Could it be that Baron Shin Si-woo is trying to make a request to her to overcome her difficulties? That part.
No matter how much he had a crush on him, if he only showed a blatant clinging to him, his affection would have fallen.
It’s hard to have a crush on someone who only approaches from a calculated perspective.
However, look at how he calmly refused even though he said he would help directly.
On the contrary, I want to help.
“I will help too.”
“No. I think I said something useless.”
“I am not. Of course, since I’m in the castle, you won’t believe it easily…”
“It’s not like that.”
Siwoo, who firmly stopped talking, looked into Moiety’s eyes and said.
And final blow.
“Because I don’t want Moiety-sama to get into trouble because of me.”
“Ah…”
If anyone is in a difficult situation, they want to take advantage of others.
However, he overcame such temptation and cared about the moiety.
“Even if it’s not grandiose, it’s not difficult to provide information. It’s not even dangerous. Instead…”
I really felt like I knew it now.
Why did the prominent archwitch around him become lovers?
“Louisa instead of the moiety… Can you call me?”
