1.
“Hmph~ Spicy, spicy, spicy~ Sweet, salty, spicy….”
Dorothy was eating tteokbokki while flapping her hands.
Wasn’t the body odor of middle and high school girls supposed to be the smell of tteokbokki, not perfume?
When I saw her wearing her school uniform tightly, I felt like I was on a flirty date with a foreign transfer student.
“But it’s delicious! It’s spicy!”
“I like the sweet potato tempura too.”
Next to me, Rinne is dipping her tempura in soy sauce with her chopsticks.
We talked about some serious things at the cafe before we left, and the bottom line is that neither Linnaeus nor Dorothy knew anything about Las Werpanas.
If Linnaeus didn’t know, then Dorothy, who had wide feet and ran a business, must have been very secretive.
“Still, if it’s true, it’s a powerful thing to have, not just in Hexenacht, but in public society, with competent witches infiltrated as spies.”
“That’s true.”
So be it.
Despite Linnaeus’s somewhat shocked reaction when Xiu told him that he had become godfather to some forty daughters, the matter of Werpanath was brushed aside.
There will be a ’roundtable’ in a few days anyway, and if you have any questions, you can call Nairi to the table and ask her.
For now, it was time to celebrate Dorothy’s return.
“I have a big announcement.”
And it was at this point that I finally had something to say to the two of them.
“We’re going to take you both to Gehenna soon.”
Up until this point, I had refrained from blowing my own trumpet.
It was a difficult project, one that would have been difficult to undertake with his position as Baron Cynthius, President of the Hessian Society.
But this is a different Xinxiu.
He’s grown to the point where the idea of bringing two of his former accomplishments into the city is within reach.
“Will it work?”
“Nangong, there’s no need to force it.”
But Dorothy and Linnaeus, both familiar with Gehenna’s physiology, were concerned.
“I know Darling is worried, but Linnaeus is right, you don’t have to push yourself too hard. Things like this don’t happen easily, and I’m sure they understand. If anyone messes with Xin Xiu’s lover, they’ll get their asses handed to them.”
That’s true.
Xinxiu’s motivation was clearly revenge.
To avenge his lover, he crushed the Lehar group, destroyed the gates of Hexenacht, killed Herja, and even killed Lydia.
The Intended Sea.
Xiu has much to protect.
He’s made it clear to everyone else what happens when you mess with “my people.
No exploit will make him an enemy unless he is willing to take his own life.
“But…. I don’t think that logic will work in Gehenna.”
Of course not.
Gehenna has a strict rule of law.
There would be no Gehenna if it were simply a case of the strongest man being the law.
But on the flip side, when you’re promoted to a position that’s been chosen by an authority figure, it’s a powerful statement.
“It’s okay, I’ve been promoted.”
“……?”
“Count Xinxiu.”
“Is that a promotion…?”
Titles in Gehenna are bestowed upon those who contribute to Gehenna.
The founding of the Hessian Society, the ample power of the One God, and the feat of storming into enemy territory when Gehenna was preemptively attacked.
In the midst of the escalating conflict between the two cities, Xiu’s unflinching behavior was both political propaganda and proof of his credentials.
“Albireo has told me that the now-vacant seat of Duke Keter will be filled by Count Cagliostro, Dean of the Emerald Tablet, and that the remaining earldom will be bestowed upon me, though it has yet to be formally conferred.”
For this reason, Xiu’s plaque flashed brightly.
“Anyway, I’m sure I’ll have enough for the two of you.”
The question remains, “Is this real?
Even though the title of Count is worth more than a thousand gold coins in Gehenna, where honor and trust are respected, citizenship has never been handed out to public figures in history.
Still, he was prepared for a slight loss of credibility.
I’m going to push through, even if it means being labeled a “Count who disregards Gehenna’s laws in favor of his public lover.
I’m not going to let this happen again.
2.
As usual, there’s nothing special about a date with the Dorothy & Linnaeus duo.
We stop at a cafe, eat a set of tteokbokki fried sundae at an alleyway shabby shop that looks like it’s been in business for 30 years, and stroll the streets of the palace.
The only special event was a stop at a sticker photo shop.
Chicken Gangjeong, Daewang Castella, Dollhouse, etc….
It’s a Korean fad to put up signs for rent as if they’ve been around forever, but this sticker photo shop seems to be around for a long time and often.
“Wouldn’t a middle school girl want a sticker photo shop?”
Dorothy asked, but I finally gave in and took a three-shot in front of the noisy, auto-filtering machine.
Afterward, we head back home to pick up some snacks and drinks from the local grocery store to go with the movie.
The return trip is to a neighboring apartment where Dorothy has prepared a surprise for him.
“Why, I want to wash up with you!”
“No.”
-Bang!
I grabbed the bathroom door and pulled Dorothy away from the raging swarm for a moment, then washed myself and casually sat down on the couch set up in front of the TV.
“I left. Because I can hear Papa’s heartbeat closer~”
“Dorothy, stop flirting.”
“Sis Lynn~ why don’t you finish your drink and stretch out~ so Papa and I can have our private bedtime conversation?”
“I’m not drinking tonight.”
I calm the two of them down after a few moments of growling.
After picking out a movie to watch from the many, many OTTs.
The mundane, the unremarkable, the unremarkable enough to bring a tear to your eye.
A life that I didn’t realize was precious until I lost it, and now it’s here.
What it was all a struggle for.
What I have to live for in the future.
The goal becomes clear.
As the movie’s end credits rolled, Xiu was overcome with emotion and closed her eyes with a sniffle.
“Awww, that was fun.”
“It was.”
Dorothy and Linnaeus had begun an invisible spat.
They were already working together in the Seoul office of WitchPoint, regardless of their past business relationships.
It’s a sign that they’re close enough to be able to see through the coyness.
“I’ve enjoyed your company today, Rinne, but I think you should leave now, this is me and Papa’s house.”
“Your magic and Nangun are not yet intact. You need an escort.”
At this point, Dorothy was in the midst of a tooth-rotting love affair with Xiu.
You know, the kind of love that’s a little bit dangerous.
At this point, Linnaeus, the reticent, teasing, but secretly supportive friend, is the stumbling block.
“No matter what, Dorothy, with the way you’re feeling right now, that’s a bit….”
Of course, Xiu has already rejected Dorothy.
In fact, in Dorothy’s eyes, putting off reunion sex in front of her former lover, who had died and come back to life, because she was a little younger, when her body was still the same, was a little disconcerting….
That’s not to say Xiu’s stance isn’t understandable.
He’d built a lavish harem that no other emperor in history would have been able to accomplish, and he’d done it in good measure.
It’s not like, “Oh, I’m just tired of women, I want something younger,” or “I’m tired of women, what about men? It means it doesn’t come out like “kwak”.
So that’s the daytime shiou.
But night is different.
It has long been said that the sun reveals cold truths and the moon illuminates dark secrets.
It’s a magical time when we peel back the layers of civilization and reveal the raw, unwrapped.
‘Papa, Dorothy is scared to sleep alone….’
She approaches the bed like this.
The sweetheart of the family, Xiu, can’t help but see through Dorothy’s obvious act.
“Can we just kiss? Just a kiss? Just a kiss….
When you’re lying in bed under the same blanket, you naturally make out more often.
It’s time for a deep kiss.
Xiu will accept it as long as it’s a kiss.
‘Turn off Papa…. It’s getting bigger… Hey….’
Wincing in embarrassment at the sensation of a dull poke in his lower stomach during the kiss, and looking at Xiu with a mixture of fear and anticipation.
‘Dorothy’s the reason I’m like this, so I’m going to give you a blowjob….’
Subtext.
Dorothy was equipped with the ‘I’ll only put it in the end’ trick to lure unsuspecting papas into falling for her….
“Oh, I’ve decided to let Lynne sleep here tonight, too.”
“Why, this is our house!”
“Because, as Linnaeus said, there are safety concerns, and I already got permission from Ms. Sua.”
“What about me? Am I stuck here? We barely met again…. Don’t we have a hot-and-cold love affair or something?”
It was then that Linnaeus, who had been under Dorothy’s provocations all morning, spoke up.
“Dorothy, it’s common sense that a daughter shouldn’t sleep with her father.”
“You’re not supposed to say that!”
Dorothy continued to insist, but it didn’t seem to have any effect on Xiu.
Linnaeus was the one to cut through the mood, so things couldn’t go well.
Three days passed in such a peaceful and uneventful way.
Dorothy’s physical age had reached 19.
She was of legal age to have sex.
