Chapter 908 – #197_Witches Exist (6)
#902
One.
Unlike most countries that were caught up in the flood, Korea was able to continue the inertia of daily life with a strong subjugation system.
There is a level of stocking of daily necessities, but everyone goes to work and goes to school, except for emergency evacuation drills in preparation for emergencies.
It’s not that the number of views on Gukppong Tube is skyrocketing and the whole world is showing interest in Korea.
Therefore, department stores are also operating normally, except for the grocery section.
After returning to Seoul, Sharon walked lightly with Amelia to a nearby department store.
“Miss Sharon, why are you suddenly at the department store?”
“I’m just going to buy some presents for Siwoo. I have something else to buy.”
“Shopping?”
“Yes! That’s right.”
Seeing Sharon smiling shyly, Amelia follows.
She’s Amelia that Siu wants to see soon, but she too was interested in much of her mundane life.
More precisely, should I say that I am interested in Siwoo’s hometown?
That’s why shopping at the department store to see or buy products was also quite interesting.
“I also go to a lot of department stores… I haven’t been there, but it’s still pretty quick.”
Said Sharon, shrugging her shoulders.
“Yes.”
It was a joke whose point was to be slightly proud, but instead of smiling, Amelia calmly nodded her head.
In the past, Sharon was quite embarrassed by Amelia’s attitude.
Even with her affinity for Sharon, she was a difficult opponent to elicit a reaction from.
Should I say it feels like the conversation is dripping like burnt noodles?
“Ah… Miss Sharon, you’re amazing. Um, also… Dr. Cheokcheok in the current world… ?”
Then, as if she belatedly noticed her mistake, her awkwardness belatedly made her forget her lines and go through her script.
But where is this?
It was enough that Amelia, who was clumsy, did her best to get to know her.
“I’m going. Siwoo will wait for you.”
“Yes.”
Sharon boldly crosses arms with Amelia and marches.
However, there was something the two did not expect.
“What? Those sisters?”
“How did a person look like that?”
“Awesome, really. Wow, look at the halo…”
“One is a fairy, the other is a princess… But a little scary princess.”
Witches who stay in this world possess an artifact called Park Young’s amulet to hide the discomfort caused by their outstanding beauty.
As the name suggests, the thin shadow is an item that makes the witch’s presence infinitely close to zero.
But it wasn’t long before the witch was able to sneak into her mystery.
Almost no one on Earth knew about the existence of witches.
Like some of the agents in charge of the existing counterintelligence agencies or big trees in the political and business world, everyone recognized the ‘mystery’.
Originally, as time passed, she did not forget the mystery that should have been forgotten naturally, and even her presence, which she hid as Park Young’s amulet, became much easier to notice than before.
The fuss caused by being recognized once attracted even the attention of others around it, and as a result, people flocked to it like a cloud as if a famous celebrity had visited a department store.
“That’s right… ?”
“A witch is a witch. Definitely a witch.”
“Wow, I’ve heard that it’s pretty, but it looks like that.”
“Should I risk my life to get a number? I think it will be worth it.”
“Are you crazy? If you do something wrong, you die.”
Their demonic beauty, which is no different from a witch’s identity card, made it possible for people to guess the identities of Amelia and Sharon at once.
There are people who take out their mobile phones from all over the place and take pictures, and each one looks at the two with eyes mixed with envy and curiosity.
“This… It was my mistake.”
“No. I didn’t expect that either.”
Fortunately, Koreans were very friendly to witches.
“What do you kill? Even if you pretend, you’re on our side.”
“Are those witches belonging to Hexsenacht?”
“Ah, that can’t be. The Black Knight and teacher Sua are guarding it, but how can that be?”
“But.”
No human casualties by witches or homunculus have been reported, and above all, there is a perception that all witches staying in Korea are pro-human Gehenna witches.
The only people who would hate witches were the soldiers whose vacations were cut, but they couldn’t be in the department store.
“Shall I ask you to take a picture?”
“If you post it on social media, the reaction will be really great.”
“It seems to be on the news.”
“It sucks. Only my eyes got so fucking high.”
Still, people whispering from afar without rushing to approach, perhaps because it was scary.
If you say, ‘Get out of here!’, It’s obvious that they will scatter like baby spiders, but neither Sharon nor Amelia have that kind of personality.
“Hey, witch over there.”
“Yes? Me?”
“Yes.”
At that time, a female student wearing school uniform gathered up courage and approached.
Sharon seemed to be the easiest to talk to her at least.
“Could you please sign it? And the photos…”
The sound of swallowing saliva was heard in the surroundings, which had suddenly become quiet.
What sign?
Sharon, dumbfounded.
“Yes, what… That’s about it.”
-Click click
The female student who took the picture with her trembling hand became teary-eyed looking at her picture.
She tends to hear that she is pretty, but when she saw the picture she took with the witch, there was no picture of her humiliation.
It seems that her appearance was forced to drive away.
Still, a two-shot with a witch?
This is a lifetime pride.
“Thank you! Thank you so much! Oh right! Thank you for protecting our country!”
“Uh… Yes yes what.”
When the female student who bowed her head in greeting disappeared, women came like a cloud.
“Witch, what cosmetics do you use?”
“How do you usually take care of your skin?”
“How… ! My head is really the size of a fist…”
“Can I follow you on Instagram?”
Sharon was taken aback.
I can’t believe it will be crowded like this.
“Uh, that… Excuse me. Do you want to do some shopping?”
“Your sister is really pretty!”
“Can you take a picture with me too? Yes?”
The men, who seemed to be hesitant, also show signs of trying to sneak up on them.
At this rate, it seemed that I would not be able to take a single step forward.
She looked at Amelia with eyes seeking help, but…
“…”
It was a big deal.
That expression is the one Amelia makes when she is quite embarrassed.
Sharon belatedly remembered that Amelia was from a reclusive loner.
However, now she desperately needs her help.
“Uh, can you please do something?”
“… Me?”
Amelia panics at the sudden request for help.
Amelia doesn’t show her original feelings, but in reality she was on the verge of panic.
Isn’t it the first time in my life to be surrounded by people who are not witches and get attention like this?
“Amelia-sama, would you like some steamed kimchi later?”
“Suddenly, what…”
Amelia’s expression frowned at the thought of Sharon’s bewildered whisper and the harsh spiciness of the steamed kimchi.
The help Sharon wanted was enough.
“…”
“…”
Suddenly the surroundings become chilly.
In particular, the women who pretended to be close to Sharon and clung to her took a few steps back with awkward smiles.
“Um, we’re sorry.”
“Then stop…”
Sharon, like her arrogant high-end seedling, has a rather cold appearance.
Sharon seemed to find it difficult to talk to her carelessly when she was suffering from chronic fatigue from her life as a debtor.
However, after she meets Si-woo and her life improves, she blooms in full bloom.
Thanks to that, if she muster up the courage, she will be able to talk to her.
On the other hand, who is Amelia?
She is a witch who puts an almost iron barrier in which it is difficult to talk easily even among witches of the same kind.
Amelia’s frown was the most effective repellent for those who didn’t know much about witches yet.
“Welcome! Wow! You are a witch!”
“This is my first time seeing it in person! Is there something you are looking for?”
“Yes yes.”
Thanks to Amelia’s performance, the duo safely arrived at ‘Dash’, a cosmetic and bathroom product brand.
“Miss Sharon, why are you here?”
“Ah, it’s because of the bath balm that I will use when taking a bath with Siu later.”
Then, the staff who suddenly interrupted.
“Aha, you’re looking for a bass bomb! Can I help you? I tried a lot of things, but my one pick was ‘Twilight’. The sophisticated pink and purple gradation is impressive, and the lavender and overnight flowers are mixed in an appropriate combination to help you relax and sleep. In addition, it contains mineral oil and organic shea butter, so it is a good product for moisturizing the skin. I think it would be nice to enjoy it with warm water in cold weather!”
“Wow, really? May I try it?”
“Sure! Come this way and I will untie it and show you!”
Unlike the people she saw outside her, Amelia was at once daunted by the frighteningly friendly approach of the staff.
Sharon laughed as she mingled with her immediate staff, but Amelia couldn’t help feeling oddly detached.
“…”
Amelia was a little depressed again.
She read a lot of books and studied a lot, but it’s not easy when she just enters the real world.
Hadn’t Amelia’s frown made people run away just a moment ago?
Looking back, all I talked to was Sharon…
Amelia’s lips pout as she sees Sharon laughing and chatting as if it were between her employee and her original friend.
She is both envious and jealous.
When one part looked hateful, the other part also seemed hateful.
Sharon, who directly participated in the battle, will spend a hot night taking a bath with Siu on the pretext of replenishing her magical power.
Amelia, unlike her other lovers, does not have her magical power amplified, so she will naturally fall behind her in rank.
There was no way Siu would refuse if he asked, but at a time when her current life was in turmoil and Dorothy’s contact with her was cut off, it seemed that it was not very mature for her to be childishly coaxing her into a relationship.
“…”
No
Sharon is really not mature.
Wasn’t he so excited that he brought Amelia to the department store to buy bath bombs for just the two of him?
Worse than someone who smells like chicken in front of their dieting friends.
But again, thinking like this makes me feel like a childish person.
I’m sure Miss Sharon didn’t do it on purpose to upset Amelia…
“…”
I don’t know.
Master told me to make a lot of good friends, but I think friendship is really difficult.
Thoughts that follow one after another.
In the meantime, Sharon had finished her bill and she approached Amelia with a box of bath bombs.
“Amelia, I chose you.”
“Yes.”
“It would have been nice if Amelia-sama had chosen the same.”
“… You want me to choose too?”
Amelia almost got a little pissed at Sharon’s salting.
However, she quickly relents.
Wasn’t Sharon always a caring person?
Since meeting Shi-woo after a long time, she was a little excited and it was clear that she was not enough to look around her.
“Of course, Amelia-sama will also use it.”
Amelia, who was trying her best not to reveal her sad feelings, hesitated.
“Together… Yo. This? But my magic power amplification doesn’t happen…”
“Hey, where is that? I do it because I love you. Are you okay?”
Sharon smiled, crossing her arms as if it were natural.
“Yes… !”
Amelia smiled brightly.
‘Master, I’ve made a really good friend,’ she thought.
