Chapter 326 – #72_I Will Nominate (2)
#324
One.
Count Gemanai loves wine.
The world of alcohol made by fermenting grains or fruits.
It may be because it is similar to magic in that an endless grandeur awaits once you start pursuing that depth.
Different melodies and melodies that you hear the moment you hold it in your mouth.
The aroma of cloves, butter balls, oak barrels and subtle cherries unfolds the moment you close your eyes.
The different fragrances that have finally harmonized after decades of hunkering down in the darkness give an avant-garde and three-dimensional thrill.
The Count, who took a bite and enjoyed the aroma and taste in every corner of his mouth, swallowed his alcohol.
“Haa~ After work, alcohol is the best.”
“Sister, where else did you get this brandy?”
“The lucky witch brought it to me. Originally, there was a magic crop to be auctioned at the ‘Red Roof Salon’. He said he wanted to pre-purchase.”
Magic crops produced in Latifundium under Count Zemanai generally go on the shelves of Malkut Gallery and Zemanai Sorcery Shop after refining.
However, rare crops produced through limited and experimental cultivation are sometimes auctioned off at the ‘First Red Roof Salon’.
For example, the ‘Red Root Geranium’ that Periwinkle pre-purchased this time.
“Good. There’s nothing wrong with dealing with that man.”
“The money is paid twice as much as expected, so there is no reason not to sell it.”
Anyway, having a drink like this after work was one of the twin counts’ enjoyable times.
Normally, there would be stories about the business that each person was in charge of, or about twins, but today, there was one particularly novel topic.
“By the way sister, did you hear that? I heard there’s a host bar at Malkut Gallery? They say it’s only for witches.”
“Okay?”
It was novel, but not enough to interest Count Albireo.
Rather, it’s such an absurd story that I wondered, ‘Did Deneb be interested in something like that?’
“But Shin Si-woo is working there.”
“To….”
Without realizing it, Albireo opened his mouth without grace.
As Albireo frequented the present world, of course he knew at least what a host bar was.
Isn’t it a place where wealthy women drink while rubbing the buttocks of male waitresses?
“What, what? Why? Are you protesting for lack of money?”
Albireo was already aware of Shiu’s use.
So he didn’t even give me a credit card with unlimited use?
It happened all of a sudden
That, too, was teasing the witches and pouring them alcohol.
It was an embarrassing thing.
“Isn’t it fun?”
“Is it fun? Was it something to be taken lightly? You, Deneb, offered to connect the twins and Siwoo Shin.”
Deneb chuckled at her sister’s reaction, which was predictable, and held her glass to her nose to enjoy the incense.
“I was also surprised to find out. The madam here is Shin Si-woo’s friend in the past. Until then, sales were a little sluggish, so it seems to be helping. It seems to be quite wholesome.”
“Then you have to tell me that first. I was just surprised.”
“Her sister is cute when she looks surprised. By the way, would her twins be jealous if they found out?”
Successfully surprising Albireo, Deneb smiled conceitedly.
At that time.
“My assistant!”
“At Host Bar”
“”Are you working?”
The door burst open without warning.
No one else could enter the count’s office so rudely.
Jemonai’s adorable baby bird.
Odile and Odette.
The twins stopped by the office for a greeting before going to bed and overheard the conversation of the Count.
“Somehow I couldn’t see them these days!”
“I never thought you would get a job!”
Odile’s eyes wide open as if he had uncovered the trick behind the secret room murder.
Odette helping by the side.
“Odile, Odette.”
When Deneb called the twins by name in a low voice, the twins quickly left the office.
-Smart
“Master, is it okay if I go in?”
“Sure.”
They were twins who kept their manners very well today.
As soon as the greetings were over, Odile and Odette ran to Master and stood next to them.
“Master, is it true that your assistant got a job at a place called Host Bar?”
“By the way, what is a host bar?”
“…….”
Albireo and Deneb knew that the twins were assistants.
Whether it’s a fresh love that hasn’t matured yet, or the beginning of an eternal love for thousands of years.
Deneb, who intends to support her with a parental heart, as long as she does not cross the line.
It was only natural that he would be at a loss for words in front of the twins who tilted their heads with innocent faces.
“That, over there, how to say…. It is a place to drink.”
“I have to be precise, Deneb.”
“Then sister explains!”
Albireo, who watched her sister perplexed while giving back what Deneb had broken, smiled and said to her twin.
“It’s a fun place to drink with a male waitress.”
“A waitress?”
“What is the hospitality department?”
“Sister!”
Albireo speaks mischievously like a father teasing his young children, and Deneb punishes him by slapping him on the back of his hand.
Of course, the explanation went to Deneb.
“So… It’s a role to pour a drink next to someone who is drinking, to have a conversation, and sometimes to act cute.”
The twins were shocked by the little master’s elegant explanation.
According to the context of Master’s conversation that I have overheard so far, isn’t it that the assistant got a job as a waitress at a host bar and waits on the witches?
Not even Sharon, but an unspecified number of attendants!
“This… Unbelievable.”
“In the blink of an eye, this happened….”
“Anyway, it’s too late, so go in and sleep.”
While rushing to end this embarrassing conversation, the stunned twins and Deneb give a warning just in case.
“I’m just saying, just in case, you should never go. Our good twins got it?”
“Yes, Little Master.”
“Good night.”
Odile and Odette bowed and finished their greetings.
On the way back to the room, the steps of the two are sluggish, almost like those of a sleepwalker.
Even entering the room, my head was complicated.
“Odette, it’s an emergency.”
“I know. Sister.”
I didn’t see him for two days right after I came back from my trip, so I did something somewhere.
Didn’t even come out to dinner.
Even if I secretly visit him at night, I couldn’t even show him the ‘Operation to make the deadly assistant come over,’ which Odile and Odette collaborated on.
I went to the annex to see if Sharon and I were responding together, but it was not there either.
I was thinking about intruding because I couldn’t lose my assistant to Sharon-unnie like this.
I never thought I would get a job at Lenormand Town.
“Odette, now that I think about it, isn’t this an opportunity for a one-shot reversal?”
“Why?”
“If you get a job at a bar and serve alcohol, that means you’re getting paid anyway, right?”
“Is that right?”
Odile suddenly stood up.
Stepping on a chair, he climbed up and pulled something out from the fireplace.
A bird-shaped bottle made of white porcelain.
The shape was a bit unique, but it was a piggy bank where the twins had been saving pocket money.
“Odette, let’s break this.”
“Aha! Good idea, sister!”
Odette, who only then realized her sister’s deep meaning, did not hide her admiration.
Odile and Odette spread a white sheet and threw pottery on it, breaking it.
– Clink!
-Charrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
The pocket money of the Jemanai family, which has a lot of money and Gao, is beyond common sense.
Countless gold coins collected over nearly five years glittered among the fragments of broken bottles.
“Whoop whoop.”
“I’m using the crisis as an opportunity to buy up my assistant’s time.”
“Great!”
2.
Duke Tiphareth loves wine.
When I was sad, I tilted the bottle to soothe my sorrow, and when I was happy, I filled the glass to share my joy.
Therefore, a glass of wine contains the joys and sorrows of a bitter life, and sometimes a sip of smile that helps overcome the sorrows and advances.
Also, sometimes it contains the tragedy of having to turn away from love.
The reason why tonight’s alcohol to soothe an empty stomach feels particularly bitter is probably because it contains the pain of having to deny the feelings that I realized belatedly.
“…….”
After erasing all memories of the affair from Siwoo’s head.
Eloa suffered from severe aftereffects.
She never thought it would be so painful, both mentally and physically.
Her contract, which she forcibly pulled out and used, made her overworked body throb.
A fever rises in her body and Sakshin has the flu and it hurts like when she coughs.
The most painful thing for her is that whenever she feels the pain, she feels the remnants of her severed memories.
Elroa’s room was filled with empty bottles with terrifying momentum, as she had been holding on to her bottle except for her sleeping hours.
“Whoa….”
Eloah endured a throbbing headache as she let out a sigh mixed with the smell of her alcohol.
Has Shiu still not returned from his trip?
I said I would only treat him as a disciple, but I miss him as the time I haven’t seen him has gotten longer.
Of course, it’s not because of the friendship between the priests, but because of the sorrowful love that made them abandon even the heavenly principles for a moment.
She drank her drink to forget it.
After getting drunk, her longing came to mind more vividly, so she drank again.
“Now what is….”
It became impossible to know.
In fact, it is not that there is nothing to do.
There was still one more opponent to whom Eloa had to confess her own sins.
She is Sharon Evergreen, the lover of a lovely disciple.
Erasing her memories does not mean that her past mistakes will disappear.
Even if Siwoo doesn’t remember, Eloa’s crime of secretly sleeping with someone else’s lover will not go away.
The fact that Eloa is in pain she is also not exonerated.
Now she needs to go to Sharon and tell her straight up….
“…….”
Eloa raised her body.
She forced her reluctant steps and headed for the annex where Sharon Evergreen was staying.
-Smart
I grabbed the doorknob and knocked on the door.
It’s a midnight night when the plants and trees are asleep, but Evergreen is also a witch.
Soon after, footsteps were heard and the door opened.
“Duke Tiphareth? What are you doing?”
“Excuse me for being late at night.”
Sharon’s complexion in a nightgown was dark, so Elroa stung for no reason.
Because she already knew about her affair with Siu and she seemed to blame it.
“I’d like to share a drink, is that okay?”
“Sure, come in.”
In fact, even in this world, there is almost no contact between the two.
Because of Eloah’s misunderstanding, from the first meeting with Elroa, they met Siwoo in a state of disrepair.
The main reason was that Sharon, who had discovered her centaur form, was avoiding her behind her back.
Why did such a duke propose a late-night drinking party?
Sharon was puzzled, but she obediently let Elroa into her house.
