Chapter 386 – #83_Joint Secret(2)
#384
One.
Like the rooms of the Countess of Gemanai, Diana’s room is actually a ‘room’, but in fact it boasted an enormous size with two living rooms, a drawing room, a bathroom, and a bedroom with a front garden.
As spacious as it was, quite a few items were stocked inside her room.
There was a three-tier first-aid kit on the shelf that looked pretty authentic, so she took it out.
Diana made a loud noise about catching her weakness and dared to kiss her instead of kissing her.
As she ran in front of Siu, she slipped like a picture and her ankle was swollen.
Siu lifted Diana, who couldn’t even stand up properly, and laid her down on her sofa, where she always used to put her location board.
“Are you okay?”
“…….”
Confessing the crime with a presumption + a surprise kiss for suddenly catching a weak point + running away afterward, and then fluttering ugly, the full combo must have been quite embarrassing.
I didn’t even expect an answer.
I put Diana’s legs on the armrests of her couch, asked her pardon, and pulled up her skirt.
“Oops….”
Ankle swollen and red.
I don’t think it’s as far as a fracture, but this is going to hurt quite a bit.
How on earth do the legs have to be twisted for the reflector to be like this?
The noise I heard when Diana fell over was unusually loud.
“Tell me if it hurts.”
When practicing with Master, it’s always normal to stumble in one place.
Therefore, he had a rough idea of how to treat him magically.
Siu reached out and wrapped her ankle carefully.
The spirit body is not as difficult to tune as one might think.
In particular, if it is far from the main organs and close to the extremity of the body, it can be controlled with a mana adjustment of the level of Siu.
“Bloom.”
Siu drew her mana and wrapped it around Diana’s ankle.
It is a remedy that will reduce swelling and soothe irritated muscles.
The work is not difficult, but it takes a little time.
Anyway, your feet are really pretty.
It looks very white and clean.
A fragment of a slender gene could be found in her slender toes, as small as the palm of her hand.
As Siwoo held on tight to inject his mana, his toes wiggled as if enduring the pain.
“Why did you do that? I didn’t have to, but it was fine.”
“…….”
Diana, who had been silent for a long time, muttered, still covering her face with her cushion.
“My mother said that in order to negotiate safely, she must have more weaknesses in her hands than her opponents….”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
It was indeed a Machiavellian reason.
But it’s a pretty strange story that the chosen choice was a kiss.
Come to think of it, the other day in Border Town, I ran out alone for unknown reasons….
She’s an unstoppable young lady sometimes.
“… Mr. Siu.”
It’s because the way she ran amok left a deep impression, so Diana’s usual appearance is a noble lady.
She was not at all unfamiliar with her title, which had naturally changed at some point, and seemed to follow her mother’s.
“Yes.”
“Can I ask you one question?”
“Good. It will take some time anyway.”
“It may be a little, strange, question.”
“… Yes, what.”
Diana uses her pillow as a mask to carry on the conversation.
Diana, who hesitated for a long time even though her face was covered, opened and closed her dainty toes, she asked.
“How long have you been with your mother?”
“… An important question… Is that right?”
“Yes, very much.”
It’s a question that has no middle ground to answer, and it was a very difficult question, but there’s nothing wrong with keeping your mouth shut.
“It’s been a day.”
“Lies, everyone lies to me.”
“I am not lying. Yesterday is the first time.”
“… Really?”
The cushion that covered Diana’s face slips down on her.
Two straight eyes, trying to determine her authenticity, turned to Siwoo.
Even if her blood is not mixed, her mother and daughter are her mother and daughter.
The shape of the eyebrows with strength looked exactly like those of Count Yesod.
“Our mom… Do you like it?”
“…….”
Tough question.
The answer is fixed.
However, putting it straight into your mouth is another matter.
“Does mom like Siwoo too?”
“… Embarrassingly.”
When the meaningless question and answer is over, she puts it back on and the cushion covers Diana’s face.
At the same time, the treatment was over.
“Okay. Would you like to take a look?”
“I think I’m fine now. Thanks.”
“No, if I argue, argue, argue, then I have my own responsibility.”
The convenience of a spiritual body is that, unless it is an injury in the magical sense, it is easily healed even from trauma.
All of her swelling had subsided, and Diana, who had turned her ankle flexibly, nodded her head kindly.
“Mr. Siwoo.”
Diana sat next to her, carefully raising her body so that the hem of her skirt wouldn’t tip over, and she looked very calm for some reason.
She couldn’t believe that she had been so excited just a moment ago.
“My mother completely…. Can you seduce Get hooked.”
“Yes?”
Did you hear me wrong?
“I heard you right. I told her to seduce her mom.”
“No. I think she heard it wrong.”
You want me to seduce your mother right off the bat?
She was a fresh love comedy development just before, but she suddenly drifted into a dead end drama.
Diana muttered a small voice and looked straight at Siu, solidifying her intentions.
“Please.”
2.
Today’s Diana’s main outfit was a sable long coat.
A sable coat is a fluffy brown coat worn by wives of rich families in dramas.
Even that would be too expensive to make with pure sable, so mink or cashmere was mixed in.
Moreover, Diana, despite the fact that her coat is made of sable’s fur, she is pure white as the first snow.
When she asked, she said she made it by skinning an albino individual.
She had no idea how expensive it would be.
Anyway, a coordination that would make a person who is not fit for the fountain look like a badass in an instant.
Diana was walking down the streets of Taro Town, assuming her outfit casually.
Her outlandish proposal of her Diana to seduce her mother.
She didn’t get a proper answer to the question of what the hell was that, and she came out to the market in the square.
The season is the season, and the street has become chilly thanks to the rain that fell last night.
The rainwater that flowed along the grooves of the highway had become a layer of ice.
However, despite the cold weather, Gwangjang Market is showing its usual vibrancy.
“Well-dried firewood that can be burned all winter is 10 pennies per bag! If you buy it now, I’ll even give you a flint!”
“It is rose water that makes a white face even whiter! Come in, wives!”
“People! Look here! It is a plump duck!”
An act of soliciting guests reminiscent of a concert hall.
Because of the peddlers selling goods in front of the tents lined up on the left and right of the road, there were not enough places to set foot and it was very hectic.
However, when Diana in a parasol and Siu in a suit went forward, the road opened like a lie.
Even to citizens who didn’t know Albinoni, Marten Courtney, Diana’s clothes must have looked expensive.
If you splash even muddy water, you know that you will have to mortgage your life to pay for laundry for three generations.
“So why did you come all of a sudden?”
“Please follow me.”
There was quite a bit of fun just looking around, but what surprised Siwoo the most was that it was Diana who suggested this outing.
As I followed the alleys that were as dense as a spider’s web, I came across eerie buildings.
Diana looked around her, picked a three-story building, and entered.
“Oh, it’s a bookstore.”
“I’ve been keeping an eye out for a visit.”
The citizens of Gehenna live a fairly medieval life, but considering the average standard of living, it doesn’t really compare to what it was back then.
The level of hygiene is high due to the supply of water pipes through magic, the infant mortality rate is only 1%, and the crime rate is remarkably low.
As a necessary existence for the convenience of witches, they are guaranteed a more comfortable environment than the third world.
One of the proofs is that there is not a single beggar to be seen in such a crowded market.
In any case, basic education was also carried out smoothly, so there were quite a few citizens who read books as a hobby.
This bookstore is a bookstore for such citizens.
The smell of old paper was transmitted to the bookshelves throughout the building, including the piles of books that formed a tower without being properly displayed from the entrance.
I could see the dust particles floating leisurely in the light of the lamps illuminating the dark room.
It was a bookstore that Siwoo knew about the existence of early on.
But he never had to use it.
When I was a slave, I didn’t have time to read novels, and I didn’t particularly like them.
In addition, Siu’s place of work was already Trinity Academy’s magic library to rummage through the sparsely hidden magic books.
There was no need to step in.
“Do you have the book you are looking for?”
“Wait.”
Unanswered, Diana looked around her past her dozing bookshop owner.
I wish I had come this far
Siwoo also spent time looking at various books.
There are all kinds of books.
A book on basic herbal knowledge.
The food recipe was written in crude handwriting, probably because paper was a waste.
There was even a diary I didn’t know whose it belonged to.
“Hmm….”
Among the stacks of books that seemed to be at least 10,000, Diana picked out a book, not caring about the dirt on her coat.
A few of them are already tucked around her side.
“Well?”
What caught Siwoo’s eyes was an unusually large and dusty book.
It almost fell behind the bookshelf and seemed to have been left unattended.
After wiping off the old, worn-out handwriting and dust with my hand, I saw the title.
[Public Records]
“Five.”
As I untied the leather straps that bound the book like a belt and opened it, I saw a bookcase that was farther than I thought.
As the title suggests, it was a book about various achievements.
Their actions, major events, hierarchy, and even some of the magnetic magic and rituals they used.
It seems to be a book that shares information about achievements like the location point DB.
“…….”
Already in my life, I was entangled with two cowardly witches, the Witch of Aquarius.
There will be many unexpected encounters in the future.
Just as you need to know the boss patterns in an RPG game, it might be helpful to look at these books.
“Maybe it won’t help much, but.”
That’s when Siwoo found a book he could use.
Diana was carrying nearly ten of her books by her side.
“What are many?”
Diana stared at Siu.
Hesitating whether to say this or not.
Diana, who had bitten her lips several times, licked hers.
“From now on, what I am going to say is…. It’s a secret between the two of you. OK?”
