༺ Solace (4) ༻

1.

Odile and Siwoo kept on walking even after they left Tarot Town.

They didn’t have a specific destination in mind, just going wherever their feet took them. Before they realized it, they had traversed quite a far distance.

Then again, that was how a stroll was supposed to be.

“Ms. Odile.”

“Achoo! Ah, sorry… *sniff*…”

As soon as they got out of the fountain, Odile used her magic to evaporate the water from both their clothes. But, it seemed like that brief moment when they were exposed to the cold air had affected her somehow.

She clutched her cloak, which had been loosened up considerably, as she let out another sneeze.

It made Siwoo think of the possibility of her catching a cold if they weren’t careful.

“*sniff* What is it?”

“Can I meet the Countess?”

“Huh?”

Hearing his words, Odile tilted her head.

But, soon after, she nodded as it wasn’t exactly a difficult request.

“Sure, but why?”

“As planned, I want to leave Gehenna. That’s why I want to ask the Countess for permission.”

“…So soon?”

“Yes. I want to leave as soon as possible.”

To Siwoo, Gehenna was like a swamp that he wanted to escape from.

It was already a place he didn’t particularly like and the various encounters he experienced just strengthened his wish to leave the place.

Now that he wasn’t Amelia’s personal slave anymore, he only needed Countess Gemini to handle the necessary procedures to leave.

“I see… That’s right, huh? We had agreed on this, huh?”

“Sorry…?”

For some reason, Odile began to mumble words that Siwoo couldn’t understand.

He suddenly felt uneasy.

‘Did something happen when I was unconscious?’

But, Odile’s next words made him feel somewhat relieved.

“Well, our master is currently on a business trip to the modern world for… A week? No, maybe a month? In any case, you probably won’t get an answer anytime soon.”

She turned her gaze towards a direction opposite of Siwoo’s as she spoke.

“I see…”

While Siwoo wanted to leave this place as soon as possible, it wasn’t like there was something he could do if that was the case.

There was no other high-ranking witch he could ask for assistance and Odile had no reason to deceive him.

As they continued their stroll, the landscape around them changed. A vast plain, where the night sky met the horizon and a large reservoir appeared before them.

There were dozens of windmills around the vicinity.

Even though he had been living in Gehenna for five years, Siwoo never knew that a place like this existed.

“That is where Tarot Town gets their water from. If you were to cross to the other side of that reservoir, you’ll find the Mendel Hills; they also use the water from that place. After all, solely relying on groundwater won’t be enough.”

The windmills, lined along the embankment, spun slowly and rhythmically, made Siwoo feel like he was in Europe.

Now, if there were tulips growing on the ground, it’d be a perfect replica of the Netherlands.

A sense of tranquility washed over him.

Being a curious person by nature, Odile wouldn’t just let them stay around in place.

She pointed towards the windmills with her thumb.

“Do you want to go there?”

“Can we?”

“Why can’t we? We’ll just take a quick look anyway.”

“If you say so…”

In truth, Siwoo was curious about what the interior of the windmill looked like.

While those windmills looked the same from the outside, there was a chance that it’d look different inside. Odile carefully chose one of the windmills and unlocked the door with her magic.

She effortlessly opened the door as it made a clanking sound. From how it looked, it was clear that she had done this more than once.

The windmill was approximately two and a half stories tall.

Its inside was empty with the exception of the large gears, spinning to utilize the power that was generated by the wind.

There was only a small gap in the ceiling where the moonlight barely entered, making the interior incredibly dark.

Due to the noise generated by the spinning gears and the rhythmic sounds of the mill picking up water, the pair had to slightly raise their voice to carry on with their conversation.

“It’s darker than I thought.”

“There are stairs over there.”

“Shall we go up?”

“Sure.”

As Siwoo had pointed out, there was a staircase on the left side of the room that looked like it would lead to the second floor.

From the look of it, they installed it there for the purpose of the windmill’s crankshaft maintenance.

They carefully climbed the old wooden stairs. Eventually, a new floor, made of wooden planks revealed itself before them.

While the area looked cleaner than they expected, it also looked more fragile.

It felt like it could collapse if the two of them were to jump around in this place.

“Hmm…”

Now that they had climbed up here, there wasn’t anything else they could do.

Since this place wasn’t an observation deck, the gap where the moonlight could seep from was too high to see from their position. The whole place also looked rather desolate.

Even Odile, who had been eager to explore the surroundings, quickly lost her interest.

“Shall we go down now?”

“Mr. Assistant.”

“Yes?”

“There’s one more thing that I’ve promised you. Do you remember?”

“Promise?”

‘Was there really?’

Siwoo pondered for a moment, but nothing came to mind.

Then, Odile glanced up at Siwoo while tapping her face.

“Ah…”

Only then did he remember what she had promised him about.

He recalled the words she had uttered during their confrontation with Ea.

“I said I’ll let you cum all over my face if we were to survive.”

“Y-You did say that, yeah…”

“So, are you up to it now?”

Siwoo involuntarily gulped.

‘Is this because of our kiss at the fountain just now?’

Despite her trying to feign nonchalance, the sight of her blushing while shyly averting her gaze charmed Siwoo.

The sight made him feel a tingling sensation he had never experienced before, causing the tip of his tongue to stiffen.

“Now? Here?”

“We’re the only ones here anyway. Besides, I brought you here because of that.”

“Um…”

Seeing his hesitation, Odile firmly grabbed Siwoo’s collar.

Only her fingertips touched his skin, but he felt a particularly distinctive feeling.

“While it’s true that I want to do this to repay what you’ve done for me… I also want to do it… Because you are you, Mr. Assistant…”

“…”

“So…?”

Odile clung to Siwoo like a cat showing her affection. Then, she closed her eyes and stuck her lips out.

It was a pose that seemed to ask for a kiss.

Just like before, it felt like there was something about her that drew him to kiss her.

Siwoo felt like the latch in his heart was being rattled.

Once again, Amelia’s face resurfaced in his thoughts.

Except this time it was the image of her crying desperately while holding on to him.

‘Will this instability go away if I were to do it with Ms. Odile?’

Even though he knew that this was a disrespectful and improper thought to have, he savored the taste of her lips anyway.

“Mm…mm…”

Odile’s eyelashes fluttered as she raised the arms that were holding to Siwoo’s sleeves and wrapped it around his neck.

Both kiss that he had with her…

While they were undoubtedly the same act, there was a considerable difference in the atmosphere around them.

Compared to before, this time, the atmosphere was way more intense.

“Mm…”

As if trying to divert his attention elsewhere.

Siwoo deftly untied the knot around Odile’s neck and removed her cloak.

The thick cloak fell down, revealing a one-piece dress that barely covered her thighs.

“Uhm…mm…”

At this point, Siwoo’s kiss grew even more passionate.

He pushed Odile backward, causing her back to hit the wall.

Without breaking the kiss, he slipped his knee between her thighs.

“Phew!”

“Haah…haah…”

Though they had just finished their kiss, Odile’s eyes had already turned half-closed like she was intoxicated.

Their heartbeat raced quicker than usual.

“Y-You’re more energetic than usual, Mr. Assistant…”

She uttered those words unconsciously.

Meanwhile, Siwoo was confused. He didn’t know if his actions stemmed from genuine feelings he had for her or merely something he did to immerse himself in the atmosphere.

“Ms. Odile, you look so hot today.”

Hearing his provocative words, Odile’s eyes widened like a startled rabbit,

Her body froze, as if she had turned into a statue. Then, she suddenly jerked her head up.

“W-Well, of course I am.”

Without hesitation, Siwoo leaned in and began to kiss her once again.

As their kiss grew more intense, he could feel the lower part of his body stiffening.

His sexual desire surged, his excited mind urged him to strip her naked and devour her youthful body.

He used his fingertips to tug the shoulder strap of her inner dress.

That strap slid down her shoulder, causing her dress to slip off and fully expose her bare chest.

The feeling of her clothing being removed made Odile flinch, but before she could process everything, Siwoo had already grasped her breasts in his hands.

Truthfully, ‘grasping’ wasn’t the correct word to use.

After all, her breasts weren’t particularly large.

However, they were still firm and perky with the stiff nipples that only added to their allure.

Siwoo lightly twisted one of her nipples with his finger.

This prompted Odile to push his hands away from her chest.

“Mr. Assistant, wait!”

“Is something wrong?”

“No, but I’m supposed to be the one who’s doing something for you! Stand here and lean against the wall!”

Under Odile’s guidance, they swapped their positions.

This time, it was Siwoo who leaned his back against the wall. Meanwhile, Odile crouched down in front of him.

She spread her fallen cloak on the grown and knelt on top of it.

With a deliberate motion, she lowered Siwoo’s pants and underwear.

“Wow…”

What greeted her was his erect and large rod.

She hadn’t even touched it but its size had already grown this big just from the kisses they made.

Considering the time he spent in a coma, it had been over a hundred days since he last ejaculated at all. A thick droplet of pre-cum slowly emerged from the tip of his cock.

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen it… It’s as big as always… Wait, you got some hair down here~!”

Odile playfully pointed at a certain place with her fingertip.

Although he had less hair since he had turned young, thanks to his maturing body, his pubic hair seemed to have grown again.

“You don’t need to use your mouth—”

“Hmmh!”

Just as Siwoo was about to stop her, Odile widened her mouth and took his glans in.

Then, she gently slid her tongue into his urethral, trying to clean up all of his pre-cum.

Overwhelmed by the sensation, Siwoo put more of his weight against the wall behind him.

Odile licked his glans with a tantalizing motion, as if she was savoring a piece of candy before pulling away with a mischievous smirk.

“So, how does it feel?”

Once again, she swallowed his throbbing rod before bobbing her head up and down.

Between her partially removed dress, Siwoo could see glimpses of her bouncing chest.

Her frown, her raised eyebrows, her dilated violet irises all fueled Siwoo’s arousal.

While he didn’t really need to do anything other than savoring the feeling of fellatio, seeing Odile’s face aroused him even further. Not to mention that she had such a fascinating beauty,

“Mmh… *slurp*… Haah…!”

“Urk…”

Feeling his lower half being sucked into Odile’s mouth, Siwoo let out a moan unconsciously.

Hearing his moan, Odile’s eyes filled with a triumphant gleam.

She gripped his rod and glanced upwards with a mischievous look.

Her look and the noises her mouth made created an enticing scene for Siwoo.

“Hehe, does it feel good?”

‘Not good!’

All of this led him to unleash his pent-up feelings, as he felt the urge to climax.

“Mr. Assistant, if you feel like you’re going to cum, can you do it on my face like we’ve promised?”

After saying that, Odile continued to vigorously sucking on his cock while bobbing her head up and down.

She messed up occasionally at first, her teeth grazing the girth of his rod a few times, but soon enough, her movements became more skillful.

Unable to endure her assault, Siwoo grasped her small head.

“Wait, please…”

“Mmh! What’s wrong? Does it hurt?”

What he wanted was to rest for a few minutes.

Because men had their pride.

While Odile wouldn’t think that it was a big deal if he were to cum a minute after the fellatio started, it would bother Siwoo immensely.

“There’s something I want to do for you, Ms. Odile.”

“Can’t you do it after you cum on my face?”

She made that suggestion while covering her innocent-looking face with his rod, making it twitch once again.

This reminded him of back when he tasted the shimaidon. He wondered if this was what immorality truly felt like.

“First, listen to what I have to say.”

In any case, Siwoo proposed a suggestion to Odile, both to calm his cock down and to delay his ejaculation.
