Chapter 459 – #96_Travel (8)
#458
One.
No matter how enjoyable you are, every moment has an end.
Along with announcements announcing the closure, CF songs were played throughout the establishment.
As soon as I rode the hot air balloon and looked around for a bit, it was 10 o’clock.
“After all, I couldn’t go to the aquarium.”
“It’s okay.”
Siwoo and Amelia walked out of the crowd, holding hands like a loving couple.
The lights of the department store, which did not fade even in the cold night air, waved a hand to see them off from behind.
I parted his breath and put my clasped hands into Siwoo’s coat pocket.
It was a bit warm.
“…….”
Siwoo notices that Amelia is floating in a different way than before.
The profile of her face, as if waking up from a very happy dream, soaked in the afterglow of joy and bustle.
Without looking around him or saying anything else, only occasionally wiggling a finger in his pocket.
So, if Siwoo is okay, that is not the case.
It’s a hard feeling to explain exactly, but if I had to pick words to describe it, it would be awkwardness.
It’s an emotion she felt throughout her short trip with her, but now she feels it distinctly. .
Originally, wasn’t dating supposed to be about getting closer after a date?
So the two went back the way they came and returned to the hotel together.
The cold, frozen ears regain their senses in the warmth of the warm room.
The choice to leave the heater on was the correct answer.
“Siw.”
“Yes, Miss Amelia.”
Amelia spoke half an hour later as her coat hung on her hanger to keep it from getting wrinkled.
It was very welcome in the unfamiliar and awkward silence.
“Thanks.”
It meant a short thank you, but it was a heavy word.
To the extent that it is hard to imagine how much meaning is locked in it.
“Now, instead of saying I’m sorry, I hope we can often say thank you to each other.”
With a small smile at those words, Amelia nodded her head slightly.
It was a slightly sad smile.
2.
Amelia is a witch with no regular sleeping habits.
Originally, a spiritual body does not require sleep for moderate activities, but when physical, mental, or magical consumption exceeds the front line, a soft bed and a warm pillow are required for recovery.
It is a kind of mental reset.
But even when Amelia wandered around her world to fulfill her killing duties, she was so exhausted that she couldn’t fall asleep unless she collapsed.
Even that was a rough road, not a soft bed, and she never slept until she returned to Gehenna and her trial was over.
But is it because the last misunderstanding with Siu was resolved and the tension was completely relieved while having a good time?
As she showered with warm water, Amelia felt exhausted, as if she had returned to her apprentice witch days.
She wanted to throw herself on the bed and lay her head down and go to sleep.
“…….”
Today’s day with Siwoo was so happy.
Even though the taste of the bitter world food made my tongue suffer, and I was exhausted from the thrill of the unexpected ride, the time I spent walking hand in hand with him and fully enjoying the feeling of being a couple was called happiness. It was hard to express.
I’m so happy
Her heart is overflowing with happiness, but at the same time, she feels depressed and sad.
If I had to point out the reason, it would sound terribly contradictory, but it would be because I am happy.
When walking in the same direction as him.
When dining with him.
Even as she shared her small talk with him, Amelia felt a mounting heaviness in her.
Sense of debt.
No matter how much Siwoo says he’s okay, it’s a pity he can’t shake off.
She kicked him out of his lodgings and threw him into a shabby barn and pile of straw.
She showed goodwill to Siwoo, who could not even eat a decent meal and ate hard bread and porridge, and gave him cake and cigarettes, showing off his arrogance.
He even gave a ridiculous order to catch a deer in the forest.
He puts him naked in front of the twins and forces him to ejaculate.
She even forced Amelia to work overtime for hours cleaning that she could finish with a gesture of her hand.
No matter how much Siwoo said it was okay, no matter how Amelia promised to pay it back in the future.
The mistakes that cannot be erased ring in Amelia’s ears with frightening clarity.
‘Do you deserve to be happy like that?’ She said.
Amelia bit her lip.
Maybe it’s all just excuses.
Amelia Marigold is not used to happiness.
On the other hand, she knows better than anyone how beautiful happiness, like glasswork, is shattered when it is shattered.
That is why she is hesitant to reach out her hand even when the promised happiness is right in front of her eyes.
After all, she’s just scary.
I just want to watch her over time because she suddenly came to me with unfamiliar and unfamiliar emotions.
Realizing that, she let out a light self-deprecating sigh.
3.
Siu, who finished taking a shower before Amelia washed her body, was leaning against the bed in a confused mood.
On the surface, he is flipping through his phone looking for a place to go tomorrow, but in reality he is not concentrating on anything.
-Shoot aaaaa
It was because Amelia was very concerned about the sound of her water washing her body.
“I want this….”
For now, I think that we have truly reconciled as of this morning.
We shared a kiss the other day, but I finally found out what Amelia was thinking and opened up her thoughts.
Is that all? We dated together as if we were really lovers.
However, if someone asks, ‘What’s next?’, You may want to gloss over the answer.
Because she wasn’t sure she would give a definitive answer.
Amelia and Siu have never been ‘lovers’ in the past.
Kissing + holding hands + going on a date + staying at a hotel together = ?.
You may think that the answer that follows is obvious, but since your opponent is Amelia, it becomes an esoteric equation that is not obvious.
Of course, listening to the sound of the water and being relaxed like this is proof of the anticipation in itself.
As long as he is a man, anyone who sees Amelia’s beauty will be greedy.
However, Siu couldn’t bear to show that expectation to Amelia.
First of all, in addition to Amelia, there are Sharon, the twins, and Master. Furthermore, she also has a promised relationship with Count Yesod.
I made it clear to Amelia about it, and she moved on without much reply.
But that didn’t mean he didn’t care at all.
It was because Amelia had never mentioned Siwoo’s ‘other lover’ to the point of being unnatural after that.
“Done.”
I decided to just let go of the lingering feelings.
Others somehow accepted Siwoo’s pilgrimage to women, who was close to promiscuous marriage, in their own way.
Still, expecting Amelia to accept it would be a great disrespect to her.
I am reminded that the best thing to do is to keep pace with Amelia.
– Jump!
The bathroom door was open.
At the same time, a wry smile rose.
He had said that he would not care or let go of his lingering feelings, but as soon asheheard the sound of the door opening, his eyes turned to that direction.
“…….”
Of course it was, but it wasn’t naked or wearing a gown.
Instead, it was Amelia’s pajamas she hadn’t seen in a long time.
A light one-piece dress with plenty of lace decorations seems more suitable for dolls than people.
However, Amelia said that the perfection of her fashion is her appearance after all, and Amelia digested it so naturally.
Suddenly, a foolish delusion came to mind: if she worked as a model for an internet shopping mall, customers who realized the reality would be flooded with requests for refunds.
If she didn’t even have this stupid delusion, she wouldn’t have the confidence to endure the awkwardness that came back.
Her hair was dry as if it had been dried inside her, but she couldn’t hide her cheeks heated by the heat of the hot water.
Amelia glanced at her Siu and turned off the lights throughout the hotel.
Now she is Amelia who can even put out a fire herself.
However, because the stand next to the bed had a separate switch, she lit up the dimly lit room.
Amelia approaches Siu’s bed.
Her heart beats again, as if it were proof of her lingering attachments.
Amelia could not make eye contact with Siu and she cautiously sat down in the empty seat next to Siu.
“Even hugging… Can I?”
In the dim light, Amelia asked in a thin voice.
Amelia’s arm dug under her armpit as she nodded with a hopeless feeling.
Her cheek rests on Siwoo’s chest, who is hugged like a big teddy bear.
Her body under the sheer fabric was surprisingly soft, even as she worried that her thumping heart might be noisy.
“I want to go back to Gehenna tomorrow.”
“Yes? How about a trip?”
“I want to do what needs to be done first. There are things we haven’t finished yet.”
As her sister-in-law, I wanted to let her see her world a little longer, but what can I do when the person in charge of her says that?
The trip seemed to end much sooner than expected.
Amelia said, rubbing her cheek against Siu’s chest as if pampering her.
“Thank you for taking me around on this trip.”
“No. I was happy to be with you too.”
“I will never forget. The scenery Siwoo showed me.”
Amelia’s voice was full of drowsiness just before falling asleep.
Like a bird that has found a sanctuary after a long wandering, she breathes colorfully and lightly.
Siwoo stretched out his arm and gently brushed the round back of Amelia’s head.
Wouldn’t it be okay if I didn’t have to ask permission for this?
Amelia trembles at her, then carefully meets her gaze.
“I’m greedy…. Can I ask for one more?”
“What is it?”
“Even when we return to Gehenna…. Can you hug me often like this?”
Of course, Amelia’s ‘hug me’ must have a different meaning, that is, a very platonic meaning, but it sounded very strange to Siwoo, who was very proud of her teenage high school student.
Even Amelia’s breath, completely languidly relaxed, and her voice had a hint of enchantment.
“Of course I will.”
Her answer was delayed because of that, but Amelia didn’t notice the delay.
Thank you, thank you Siu…. She just said it over and over again.
After that, Amelia’s breath changed very evenly.
No matter how different her physique may be, she won’t be softer than a pillow.
As soon as Amelia is embraced by Siwoo, as if she were her heavenly bedding, she left for the land of dreams.
“Miss Amelia.”
“…….”
“Miss Amelia.”
“…….”
After confirming that she was really sleeping a couple of times, Siwoo let out a sigh.
“I’ll turn….”
I see the face of Amelia, who is sleeping soundly below.
I can’t sleep like this.
Even so, the moment Amelia attached, she had to be careful with her lest she smell her body odor.
It is even more unpredictable what kind of abnormal phenomenon will occur if you inhale it in your sleep.
But she’s sleeping so well, so what are you doing to disturb her, to separate her….
Shiu looked up at the ceiling while holding Amelia’s head properly so that it wouldn’t fall.
“It’s soft, it’s soft….”
The only consolation was being able to hold her body, which was softer than most cushions, without obscene connotations.
