City of Witches
chapter-308

1.

“Damn… This is crazy…”

After getting their swimsuits and hopping on to the carriage for a comfortable ride, they finally arrived at the Blue Narrow Sea.

Since this was Siwoo’s first time setting foot on a private beach, his heart was filled with excitement. After all, this was a private beach, something that he thought only ever saw in movies.

The sand was white, even whiter than salt, while the sun was unreasonably hot for the season.

Under the clear blue sky that extended to the horizon, the sound of crashing waves echoed pleasantly.

The scene in front of him was so magnificent that he felt a liberating sense of freedom just from seeing it.

“Now this is a real high quality resort.”

Just twenty seconds away from the beach, there was a no-less magnificent looking villa.

It was a small villa, only two stories tall, almost as big as the annex where Siwoo and Eloa was currently staying in, but the wall that was facing the sea was made out of glass.

“Feels like I’m in Dubai or something…”

“It’s the sea! Seaseaseaseasea!”

“Odette-style! Hyper Boost!”

Accompanied by tapping sounds of footsteps, two sets of footprints of identical sizes started appearing on the sand.

The twins passed by Siwoo, who was admiring the view, threw their luggages aside and jumped into the sea.

They hadn’t even changed into their swimsuits yet.

“Mr. Assistant! Come quickly! The water is so cool here!”

“Come here quickly, Mr. Assistant!”

The hem of their skirts float on the water like lotus on a pond.

There was a bright smile on their faces that were covered with water droplets.

Siwoo and Sharon, who were watching them from a distance, couldn’t help but break into a smile.

“Ms. Odile! Ms. Odette! Change into your swimsuits first!”

“It’s fine! We don’t need to!”

“We brought a bunch of clothes with us!”

“Those two are so energetic.”

“They remind me of a pair of husky, playing around in the snow.”

As he stood side by side with Sharon, watching the two playing around, it reminded him of something that happened in the Modern World.

When the twins came to visit him and how he and Sharon felt as if they were a married couple with two kids, trying to take care of those two.

The thing that was happening right now resembled that moment so much.

“Mr. Assistant!”

“Hurry up and come!”

The twins urged him to come while splashing the water around.

Seeing this, Siwoo turned to look at Sharon with a wry smile.

“Are you gonna go in like this or?”

“Yeah, can you take care of my luggage for me? They’ll raise hell if I don’t come over right now.”

“Mr. Assistant!”

“Yes, yes, I’ll come over!”

After leaving his luggage to Sharon, Siwoo came over to the twins’ side and jumped into the sea.

Just like they said, the water was cool and refreshing.

2.

“Hoaahm…”

Currently, Siwoo was laying down on a sunbed, under a parasol.

With a cold beer in his hand, he was fully enjoying himself in this high quality resort.

The sound of waves felt pleasant to his ears, the cool shade the parasol gave him made me feel like he was in heaven, the beer enhanced the experience as a whole, while the salty wind that would normally bother some people actually felt nice to his skin.

What about the view?

The beautiful natural scenery in front of him, combined with the sight of the twins and Sharon, affectionately playing around in the water together, was nothing short of perfection.

Once again, he praised Flora’s exquisite skills.

While he didn’t know what kind of swimsuit was deemed fashionable in Gehenna, he knew that the ones that those girls wore wouldn’t look out of place even if they were to go to a beach in Florida.

Firstly, the twins’ swimsuit.

On their chest area was a tube-top swimsuit with plenty of frills on it.

The swimsuit was made to minimize the exposure of their upper bodies and maintain their elegance and dignity.

Odile was wearing a black swimsuit while Odette was wearing a white one, thus eliminating another potential cause for their bickering from its roots.

Next was Sharon.

It was a black monokini that was adorned with decorations that looked similar to that of a belly dancer’s outfit.

The monokini was made in such a way that it exposed her navel and her back.

Siwoo could get a glimpse of her breasts from the side, giving an impression as if she was cosplaying a succubus or something.

That aside, unlike Siwoo, who was exhausted after playing with the twins for a short time, Sharon had been engaging in a water fight with them for a good while now.

“Ahaha! H-Hey, you two! Stop!”

“Ei, ei!”

“Odette-Style! Water Cannon!”

“I told you to stop!”

Currently, the twins were spraying water on her while Sharon was running away from them.

Seeing them like this it felt like those three were actually sisters or something.

They got along surprisingly well.

“Hm?”

What? Am I just seeing things or is that wave getting bigger?

He didn’t know when it started.

But, at some point, they started to use magic during their water fight. Or maybe, they had been using magic from the start.

Volleyball-sized water balls that were hovering around the twins suddenly rushed towards Sharon all at once.

Meanwhile, Sharon was running on the sea water, as if she was running on the solid ground, performing brilliant evasive moves.

Right, isn’t she those two’s Elemental Magic teacher? Maybe she’s teaching them about the water elements right now.

-Woooong!

At that moment, the ground started to shake heavily and a big shadow was casted upon the beach.

A huge wall of sea water appeared, tall enough to swallow even the tallest skyscrapers.

“I told you to stop!”

There was no way that a sudden earthquake in Gehenna would cause a tsunami.

Which meant that this was something one of those three had caused.

Their hectic water fight came to an end as the high wave swallowed the three of them all at once.

3.

“I still got salt water in my nose…”

“It’s itchy…”

“S-Sorry…”

The twins, wet from head to toe, whined as they sprawled on the sand.

Next to them, Sharon apologized while covering their shoulders with a towel.

She was agitated when they were playing around in the water, but she had no intention whatsoever to go this far.

However, since she still wasn’t used to her newly acquired power and she didn’t have her staff and witch outfit with her, her power went out of control back then.

In the end, Siwoo had to use his ribbons to prevent the twins from being swept all the way to the Border Town from here.

“Are you really, really sorry, Sharon unnie?”

“Yes… I really didn’t mean to do something like this…”

Nevertheless, she was still in the wrong here.

That was why she obediently apologized for her mistake.

“Alright, then bring us our picnic basket here!”

“We put a bunch of tasty food there! Let’s eat together!”

“I’ll go get it.”

When Siwoo was about to get up, Sharon waved both her arms and made Siwoo sit down in the sunbed again.

“No, let me! I’ll be right back!”

Then, she ran ahead before he could even stop her.

As soon as she went away, the twins sprung up to their feet, as if their previous appearance was a lie.

“Odette! Now!”

“Yes, Sis!”

They immediately went toward the luggage they left in the corner then quickly spread out the rolled up sunbathing mat they brought with them.

After that, they took off their wet swimsuit’s top.

Their small breasts were left bare for Siwoo to see.

The refreshing sight of their cute breasts that he hadn’t seen in a while flashed in his eyes.

“What are you two up to now?”

They did this sequence of events in a decisive and quick way.

By the time Siwoo asked that question after being struck speechless, they had already slid their bodies on the mat.

“Can’t you tell just by looking, Mr. Assistant? We want you to put some tanning oil onto our backs!”

“We’re going to sunbathe next!”

“Tanning oil? Not sunscreen?”

“We found out that women with moderately tanned skin can exude more sex appeal!”

“That’s why we want to try tanning ourselves! Also, our masters did this every summer!”

Just as usual, this was all part of their cunning plan.

This was the perfect opportunity for them to have a natural skin-to-skin contact with Siwoo without raising suspicion.

If Sharon was here, it was obvious that she’d intervene and stop him before he could do anything.

That was why they drove Sharon away before they striked.

“Mr. Assistant~ Quickly~”

“If you don’t hurry, we both will turn into dried squid.”

“Ugh, fine.”

The twins waved their feet up and down against the mat cutely.

This prompted Siwoo to let himself fall into their cuteness trap and sat down next to them, holding the oil they had prepared.

Seeing how their plan was proceeding smoothly, they let out a giggle to each other.

Siwoo first sprayed some of the oil on their backs.

As expected of the twins, from the smoothness of their backs, the curves of their spines, to their protruding backbones, they all looked similar.

“Mmh…”

“Ahh…”

Feeling the sudden touch of the oil as it was dropped on their backs, the twins subtly trembled.

The oil’s cold sensation probably surprised them a little.

“Ready?”

“Ready!”

“Me too!”

Siwoo washed off the fine sand that was stuck into his hands with a bucket of water lying nearby before placing them on each of the twins’ backs.

He knew that if he were to focus on doing this to one of them first, the other one would throw a tantrum.

-Shock!

-Shock!

As soon as his hands touched their bodies, they let out the already expected reactions.

Their relaxed posture instantly turned stiff, as if a block of ice had been put on their backs.

They also stretched their toes stiffly, like a ballerina.

-Rub, rub, rub.

Siwoo ignored their reactions as he evenly spread the oil around from their waist down to the bottom of their spines.

While he was doing this, he realized that he had underestimated this current situation that he was facing.

To be more specific, the sensation he felt as his palm touched their skins.

The twins’ white and soft skin slowly became shiny as he applied the oil on them, rousing a lot of memories from the depths of his mind.

Normally, he had always seen the twins as his cute little sisters, but the moment they took off their clothes, their impression on him changed into that of a pair of little succubi.

When his hand moved to their sides, the part of their body that didn’t bulge out or push their upper body even a little from the mat…

They let out a symphony of moans at the same time.

“Ahh…”

“Hng…”

“No strange noises allowed.”

“But, Mr. Assistant! It’s been a while since the last time you touched our bodies!”

“The way you are massaging our bodies… There’s this erotic feeling about it…”

Now he realized that this was definitely what they were aiming for from the start.

Whenever he tried to spread the oil to their sides, his hands always touched a certain something.

Add the stimulation he received from their now shiny skin, his senses of hearing, touch, and sight were all being stimulated by them.

“How does it feel, Mr. Assistant?”

“It feels like I’m marinating a lukewarm steak with olive oil.”

“Is that all?! It doesn’t make you want to do this and that with us?!”

“Uh…”

“What about this? If you were to sneak into our rooms tonight… We’ll let you massage other parts of our bodies.”

“Of course, we’ll do the same to you too, Mr. Assistant!”

I think I should set things straight with them.

He had been thinking of doing this for a while.

The only reason he hadn’t done it already was because he couldn’t find the right timing.

“Ahem, Ms. Odile, Ms. Odette, there’s something I need to tell you.”

The twins, who slightly turned their heads at Siwoo’s cough, focused their stares at him.

Under their gazes, Siwoo was unable to say what he wanted to say.

“A-Ahem… You know…”

Back in the Modern World, though he never lacked money, there was no one he could connect with.

He couldn’t have a meaningful talk with anyone and no one he talked with would remember him.

As he was suffering from that kind of loneliness, Sharon came to his life.

At first, he only took Sharon—who was under a heavy debt—in out of pity and he thought that they could help each other out, but as time passed, their bond grew deeper and deeper.

Now, if someone were to ask him if he had a girlfriend or not, Sharon would immediately come to his mind.

Since that was the case, he thought that if he were to continue this ambiguous relationship with her and the twins, it would be the same as him cheating with all of them at once.

And so, he decided to sort out their ambiguous relationship as soon as he could, but…

“...”

“...”

But he didn’t even know how to begin.

This was due to the twins’ extremely good intuition.

Odile was looking at Siwoo, who left his mouth hanging open, unable to let out any words, with trembling eyes. Meanwhile, Odette’s eyes had started to tear up.

At first, the twins approached him back when he was a slave due to their curiosity.

Although their relationship began because they practically strong-armed him into it, after overcoming several crises together, their bond grew deeper and deeper into something that was stronger than a bond between an apprentice witch and a slave.

When he got his heart broken by Amelia…

It was Odile’s warm embrace that saved him from that deep pit of despair.

He could also remember Odette’s kindness that she showed on her thoughtful gifts that he received right before he went back to the Modern World.

Their kindness towards him was something that he could still remember deeply.

That was why he found himself at a loss of words.

While it was morally right that he came clean so that he could end this ambiguous relationship once and for all…

If he were to draw that line clearly in front of the twins, who had been treating him kindly all this time, that would make him a cruel and shameless person at the same time.

And so, he was stuck at an impasse.

Is there an answer where I can make all three of them happy?

That irresponsible question came to his mind.

“...Later, during the barbeque, I’ll grill the meat.”

In the end, he let out an inward sigh and postponed his decision.

He figured that he should ask Takasho for advice next time he visited him.

Since it was Takasho, he’d definitely come up with good advice for him.

“I-Is that all? W-Why are you saying it with such a serious expression then…?”

“S-Seriously! I-I was so scared…”

When the twins said those words with an awkward smile…

“What are you guys doing?!”

Sharon, with the picnic basket in her hand, ran straight to where they were after seeing the twins with their top off.
