City of Witches

༺ People Who Are Stuck in the Past (5) ༻

1.

Your average witches would never notice it.

No matter how much mana Siwoo emitted during his ejaculation, the music box’s concealment was strong enough to hide it from their senses.

It was like a giant stealth plane that was caught in a radar as a small bird, the music box concealed enough of his mana to the point that one could only feel it as a small wave.

Even Tiphereth wouldn’t feel it if she wasn’t staying right beneath them.

But, she was there and she was more sensitive to mana waves compared to your average witches.

“What…?”

Eloa took out her signature weapon, the ‘Sword of Covenant’.

In response to her call, the sword with twelve characters engraved in it showed its brilliant appearance in the air.

A lot of things were going on between them, but at this point, Eloa had already put her trust in Siwoo.

Although he was somehow related to Ea, it was clear that he was never on her side to begin with.

And his stance on this was firm, like an iron boulder.

Still, there was something abnormal about this mana wave.

So, she decided to check it out, just in case.

“Hereby, I declare a covenant.”

She didn’t even stop to think.

Her mana surged and it was reflected in her magenta eyes.

This was the ‘Light of Truth’, the covenant to see through falsehoods even among the falsehoods.

With it being opened, she gained the ability to see through even a one meter thick concrete wall with ease, but at the moment, she was unable to do so.

Her view was blocked, as if a giant barrier was there.

She could easily peer through the other rooms, but not Siwoo’s.

“…”

As far as she was concerned, he was in an extremely precarious spot.

He was in a situation where all kinds of witches put their interest in him. Basically, he needed to pay much more attention to his safety compared to your ordinary Exiles.

In other words, a simple concealment device became a necessity for him.

But the fact that the concealment device was so powerful that it managed to block her ‘Light of Truth’ was something she didn’t expect.

Why did he have it? And why didn’t he mention it to her?

His identity was guaranteed by powerful witches, and she herself was living nearby, but why did he need to conceal himself to this extent?

Why did he pull off something like this when he knew that she was asleep?

Actually, Eloa didn’t need to let her mind wander like this.

She could easily dismiss it as him just being overly cautious.

Because he thought that it wasn’t really an important thing to mention, he didn’t tell Eloa anything.

The stubborn and staunch Eloa from the past would have thought so.

“Let’s calm down first…calm down…”

However, a faint emotion in her heart gave birth to suspicions.

Her confirmation bias striked again, painting Siwoo in a suspicious light and casting a dark shadow in her already fragile mind.

No matter how kind he was, no matter how good natured he was…

Though he possessed Ravi’s bowl, at the same time, he also possessed Ea’ Maiden’s Loom.

And she still didn’t know the reason why he had both of them.

Therefore, she couldn’t afford to let her guard down.

The thoughts of him hiding a twisted emotion behind a good-natured mask brought chills down her spine.

And so, she carefully opened the door to the balcony.

If she were to cast her gaze below, she could basically see the city from a bird’s-eye view, but she didn’t need to pay any attention to that. Because It wasn’t like she’d fall from this height.

-Woosh!

She clung to the railings upstairs like a cat.

Through the blackout curtains, she could see what was inside Siwoo’s living room, but she couldn’t hear anything.

So, she opened the door carefully, trying to not make any noises.

Fortunately for her, the door wasn’t locked, so she was able to enter Siwoo’s place as soon as she passed through the curtain.

-Woooong!

Maybe because she was getting closer to the source.

The mana wave she felt was much stronger.

She carefully advanced, one step at a time, holding her sword firmly.

There were two rooms in Siwoo’s place.

One of them had its door open and there was no one inside, so she surmised that the source of the mana wave was behind the closed door.

As she slowly made her way to that particular room, all while concealing her footsteps, she could feel as if she was passing through a very thin membrane.

That should be the barrier he used to cover up this whole situation.

And as soon as she entered the barrier…

She could hear what was going on inside.

“Hng—! Ahh! Haaeung…!”

For a moment, a wave of dizziness struck her head.

The sound she heard was a woman’s moans.

And there was only one woman who lived here.

Sharon Evergreen.

The problem here was that she was letting out a voice that was similar to a dying animal.

‘As expected, Siwoo is hiding something.’

‘Should I attack now?’

She didn’t ponder about it any longer.

Almost immediately, she opened the door without any hesitation.

The moment the closed door was opened.

She could feel a special kind of heat crawl through her skin.

The smell of sweat and unidentified body fluid entered her nose.

Said heat that she started to feel just a moment ago had already struck her in the face at this point, giving her a similar sensation to that of a humid sauna.

“…Ah.”

And then, she saw it.

Sharon, without a single article of clothing, lying down while moaning like an animal.

Her large breasts hung down as sweat covered through her whole body.

Behind her, there was Siwoo, also naked, leaning over toward her, as if pouncing her.

His penis was deeply embedded inside the witch’s vagina.

“…”

“…”

Siwoo, who was breathing heavily after his ejaculation, naturally turned his head to see what was going on.

When his eyes met Eloa’s wide eyes, his whole body stiffened.

“Haa…haa…how was it, Siwoo…? Was my pussy tasty…?”

Immersed in an even worse afterglow than Siwoo, Sharon didn’t notice Eloa’s presence.

So, she said those words in her sweet voice, trying to arouse Siwoo again.

As for Eloa, the moment she saw this scene, all doubts and suspicions that she held completely disappeared from her mind.

Her face turned pale.

Even though Duchess Tiphereth threw her life for the sake of revenge, she was still aware of the intricate relationship between a man and a woman.

At the very least, she knew that if a man and a woman were to roll around naked on a bed, they were both trying to make babies.

She also knew that it was impossible for a witch to make babies, so they occasionally do it for their own enjoyment.

However, she failed to connect the fact that those two lived together with the possibility of them having sexual intercourse.

That was why, when she infiltrated their face using the darkness of the dawn as a cover…

She never expected to find herself in such an embarrassing scene.

“…”

“…”

“Oh, c’mon~! Why aren’t you answering me?!”

When Siwoo didn’t answer her, Sharon looked up and caught Eloa’s figure with her eyes.

For a moment, she stared at Eloa, who was holding her Sword of Covenant weakly while staring at them with her mouth agape.

At that moment, it was like time had stopped for all three of them.

Still, Eloa’s hundred years experience wasn’t for show.

Even though she found herself in this awkward situation, she still moved and tried to resolve it.

She closed her mouth and spoke with a resolute tone.

“Please continue what you were doing. Forgive me for barging in so suddenly like this… Um, you may not know this, but my sensitivity towards mana is high, and, um…your mana leaked through your concealment barrier, so I came to check it out…”

“…”

“…”

However, the voice that came out of her mouth was quiet, and the pair could barely even be able to hear her.

This was the first time that the Duchess had ever faced such a difficult situation.

Usually for Eloa, a ‘difficult situation’ meant that she was facing an enemy that she needed to best, and she always solved it through force.

But, it wasn’t like she could cut those two down just to cover up her embarrassment for this misunderstanding.

So, she tried to convey her words to them, but seeing the result, she ended up slamming her eyelids shut.

Just like that, the great witch gave up.

“…Forgive me for intruding.”

And so, she bowed her head politely before quickly disappearing.

-Click!

A few moments later, they could hear the sound of the front door closing.

The pair, who were still assuming the same position as before, could only stare blankly at the door where Eloa had disappeared for five whole minutes.

2.

The Duchess was rewarded with a sex scene for her surprise visit.

At this point, Siwoo had already desensitized by it, since he had gone through Amelia jerking him off in her classes, and having a threesome with the twins.

However, that wasn’t the case with Sharon. Because this was her first time facing something like this, she was literally losing her mind.

“Sharon.”

“What’s up? I’m writing down my wills right now.”

Half-dazedly and half-naked, she was scribbling something on a piece of paper.

It seemed like she was seriously considering killing herself out of shame and leaving out a will.

Just last night she was caught by the Duchess when she was trying to seduce him to have sex with her.

And the very next morning, the Duchess actually saw them having a sex…

Considering that, it wasn’t strange if Sharon were to think that she was afflicted by some kind of curse.

“I don’t think she’ll care that much, so don’t worry about it, okay?”

“No, I’m not worrying. I won’t be around to find out anyway.”

Her voice was surprisingly calm.

But that was what made it scary.

Because it reminded him of something.

The people who accepted their deaths had tendencies to act unnaturally calm.

“Hehe…hehehe…hehehehehe…”

As she leaned forward to write her will, she suddenly started laughing

It was the first time he had ever heard her laugh like this, adding to his fear.

“Crazy…why did she have to come at that moment…? Hehe…what did I say back then? ‘Siwoo, is my pussy tasty?’ hehehe…ahahahahaha…”

Half-dazedly, she laughed in an empty voice.

That was when it finally clicked for Siwoo.

This was how a normal person should react when someone caught them in the middle of sex.

His situation was different from hers too. Eloa only caught him naked, while Sharon was moaning loudly while spouting such embarrassing words.

He admitted inwardly that he’d probably feel the same way as her if someone were to hear him saying things like ‘How does my dick taste?’.

And so, he patted her on the shoulder.

“She probably thought it was cute. Surely she had experienced this a couple of times in her life.”

“Cute?”

Hearing her sharp reaction, Siwoo’s whole body flinched.

“Sorry, I misspoke.”

“…This is so fucked…I swear I’m slowly starting to hate her…ahhh…!”

Seemingly unable to bear the feeling that overflowing her chest, she threw herself into the bed and went on a rampage.

“How could this happen to me!” She let out a muffled scream as she did so.

Based on Siwoo’s experience.

If someone was suffering this much from embarrassment, it would be wise to just leave them alone for their mental health’s sake.

So, he patted her on the shoulder again.

“I’m going to talk to her, okay? Don’t think of something bad and stay calm.”

“What are you even going to talk to her about…? Ah, tell her to not tell anyone about it! I swear if she were to do it, I’m going to kill myself—!”

“…Don’t worry, she isn’t the type of person to do that. I’ll just tell her that she should be more careful next time.”

“Ugh…seriously, I want to kill myself…”

After receiving her promise that she won’t kill herself in the meantime, Siwoo left her and went downstairs.

“Haah…”

He tried to remember what the Duchess had said as an excuse.

She said that she felt a mana wave that was strong enough to seep through the music box’s concealment effect.

That was why she came upstairs to check it out.

If that was really the case, then he didn’t have much reason to complain.

Because even himself was unable to explain what was going on.

That left him with the only problem, which was also the biggest one, the innocent victim, Sharon. He surmised that it would probably be better for Eloa to apologize once again to her,

-Knock, knock.

-Click!

As soon as he knocked on the door, it opened wide, as if the inhabitant had been waiting for him.

”…Please come in.”

Eloa emerged from the door, reluctantly stepped away to make ways for him to enter.
