1.
Siwoo closed his eyes.
Concentrating deep enough to the point that he could hear the sound of falling snow.
With the silent surroundings, the sound of his heartbeat and breathing was as loud as the sound of a collapsing building.
He tried to delve into the depth of his mind, and eventually, his consciousness fell into the pitch-black darkness.
There was sothing he wanted to check out.
Ain, the realm where nurous magic formulas that he accumulated so far was stored...
Appeared before his eyes.
Shimring shadows.
A loom.
Elental particles.
Doors and keys to the Palace of mories.
String of a Covenant.
A giant moon being held by a force field.
And a fractal-shaped dinsional formula that he first studied.
He was familiar with all of them.
As soon as he ca to his senses, he was left surprised.
Because there were so many self-essence magic that were added here.
Before this, he could only see the Maiden’s Loom, the Law of Shadows, the unfinished Dinsion Shift, and the Myriad Weapons Mastery Covenant.
Everything else was added after sothing from his subconsciousness rose back up.
But, if he were to look at the level of completion of these magic...
“They’re all awful...”
Awful was actually an overstatent.
The four original magic structures were well-built and organized, but the newly-added ones were in an extrely ssy state.
Compared to back when he ca to this place the other day—just before he regained his consciousness—it was like comparing sothing that a child built out of Legos with sothing that a professional architect had crafted.
Everything was in shambles.
To him, who had rembered the beautiful harmony from the previous ti, they were all worthless.
He closed his eyes again, trying to calm his consciousness down.
What he was trying to do was to contact his ‘other self’ that was hanging around deep inside his mind.
He didn’t know if he was soone he could talk to.
But, if he could utilize his skills, it would definitely make his chances of survival against future threats better.
However...
No matter how deep he went, all he could see was just the pitch-black darkness that spread endlessly.
He couldn’t find the black curtain that he saw last ti.
“...I knew it wouldn’t be that easy...”
He opened his eyes again.
As he did, he was greeted by the empty space of the Gemini Mansion that he usually used as a training space with his master.
Of course, he never expected this would be easy. Accessing one’s consciousness wasn’t as easy as accessing one’s C Drive or D Drive on one’s computer—one couldn’t just switch between the drives anyti they wanted.
“Bloom.”
The incantation that he was familiar with ca out of his mouth.
He didn’t know if it was because of the clover, or because he reconstructed his body on his own subconsciously, but aside from severe exhaustion, he didn’t have any problems with his body.
Since he acquired so new weapons to play around with, he figured that he might as well try to test them out.
First, he picked the most familiar magic of them all to him, the Law of Shadow.
The shadow spread out like amorphous fog.
-Shooooo!
“What?”
Imdiately, the space was filled with fog of shadows, as if Kraken had spurted out its ink.
The shadow completely blocked the moonlight, making him think that he was still inside Ain for a second there.
“Crazy...”
The spectacle left him dumbfounded.
Previously, he could only showcase this much result after he amplified his magic power a few tis.
He could tell at a glance.
That both the efficiency and the power of the magic was increased by ten tis.
The feeling felt even more distinct the mont he turned the shadow into armor.
Said armor that enveloped his whole body was more solid than before. He didn’t even need to inject any elental properties into it anymore to make a proper armor.
Though he expected that his magic would improve to so extent, he never expected that it’d improve this much.
Next, he tried out the ribbons.
-Whooosh!
Over a hundred of them instantly spread through the air.
Though their numbers were large, each of their strengths was considerable, and he could move them around freely.
As if they were the extension of his arms.
“...”
Just what the hell happened when whatever it was in my subconsciousness rged with everything in my consciousness?
The level of improvents he experienced was so great that he couldn’t feel happy about it and instead felt concerned.
Because he got stronger too quickly.
Usually, this kind of improvent could only be achieved after he had paid so kind of ‘price’.
“Ugh...”
As a wave of dizziness struck him, he pulled his ribbons away.
The burning sensation flowing through his exhausted magic circuit was still bearable for him, but he just couldn’t stand the migraine that stabbed the side of his head like a dagger.
“Can only do this much today...”
Originally, he planned to test his Myriad Weapons Mastery and Red Branch as well, but...
It was clear that he should stop here, as he needed to rest his body more.
-Rustle-!
At that mont, the sound of snow falling from a tree nearby entered his ears. When he turned his head towards that direction...
He could see a pair of rabbit ears sticking from one side of a thick tree, and a shark tail sticking out from the other side.
Siwoo could tell instantly. These were the pajamas that the twins had bought from the Modern World.
“Ms. Odile, Ms. Odette, co out.”
“...”
“...”
His words were t with silence.
“Sorry, but, I could see both of you.”
Only after he added that did he get a response from them.
“Odette! You got us caught again!”
“You were the one who yawned and pushed , Sis! I wouldn’t hit the tree if you didn’t do that!”
Even now...
The twins’ antics never failed to bring a smile on Siwoo’s face.
They glared at each other while bickering as they walked closer to him.
“Why are you two wandering around in pajamas? It’s freezing out here.”
“We were planning to surprise you when you got ho, but...”
“Because of Odette...” “Because of Sis...”
““Everything’s ruined!””
Though they were bickering, they were completely in sync, as always.
But, if he were to leave them like this, the constant barrage of them blaming the other probably wouldn’t stop until the end of ti.
“Co inside quickly. Or else you both will catch a cold.”
When he spread his arms, the twins quickly grabbed one hand each.
Then, they walked together, linking their arms like that.
They leaned their small heads on him, as he could feel their small chest rubbing against each of his arms.
It was the first ti in a while that he experienced this ‘flowers in both arms’ experience.
“Sorry, Mr. Assistant. We actually waited for you inside, but you never ca back.”
“Yeah. We knew that you’re busy, but we were just so worried about you, so...”
“No, it’s who should be sorry. I shouldn’t have worried you two in the first place...”
At that mont, Odile’s eyes shone with a glint, as if she had been waiting for those words to co out of his mouth.
“Are you really sorry, Mr. Assistant?”
“Yes, I am. Sorry for worrying you two...”
“That’s not enough! A proper apology is necessary!”
“You need to do sothing for us as an apology!”
It wasn’t hard to tell what it was that they wanted from him.
The sa old ‘favor’ that they had always asked.
If it wasn’t obvious already, the twins really loved to do ‘it’ with him.
Even though they could only take it from the back.
“Of course, I’ll do anything you ask.”
“Alright, let’s go to your room then, Mr. Assistant!”
“My room?”
Actually, ever since the first ti went back to Gehenna, he only ever had sex with the twins once.
Back at the Gemini Villa in Tarot Town, where Albireo caught him red-handed.
Although sex with them wouldn’t cause any mana waves to co out—after all, they were doing it from behind—the twins’ room was in the sa building as Albireo’s and Deneb’s quarters.
The thought of having a sex with the twins while being in the sa building as their mothers was already embarrassing.
He’d also have to deal with the fear of getting caught by the two of them.
The twins also felt the sa way as him, that was why they hadn’t been as assertive to ask him for sex.
Nevertheless, he still felt like he was neglecting them all this ti.
Add that feeling to the current situation—where he owed them an apology—he couldn’t just refuse their request.
The three of them entered Siwoo’s room—which wasn’t too far away from the empty space.
After entering, the twins took off their pajamas’ hood without saying a word and sat Siwoo on the bed.
Odette was the one who opened her mouth first.
“What we want to ask is...”
“We want you to kiss us. Passionately.”
“Since I won the rock-paper-scissors, I’m up first!”
Odette smiled brightly with the happiest expression she could muster, while Odile just clung to him with a displeased face.
“Is that enough?”
“I an, we can kiss as much as we want! Besides... It won’t hurt to be more careful, right?”
“Kisses are enough.”
Odette quickly ca to Siwoo’s lap and wrapped her leg around his waist.
Then, she embraced his neck tightly and started kissing him.
“We can start now! Also, can I please put my tongue in, Mr. Assistant?”
“Odette, stop wasting ti already! Do it quickly!”
“We haven’t even started yet! Also, no! I’ll make the kiss as long as I can!”
It wasn’t hard to guess that Odette was extrely excited to be the first batter.
On the other hand, Odile seed extrely displeased that she was robbed of the chance to beco one.
After teasing her sister for a bit more, Odette finally begged Siwoo for a kiss, looking really happy.
The twins were definitely cute and charming.
Wearing her fluffy bunny pajamas, Odette looked like a cute doll.
“Mmh...”
Their lips intertwined.
The mont her lips touched his, her small, yet firm tongue entered Siwoo’s mouth.
Her saliva tasted like milk and honey—she probably drank those before coming to look for him.
“Chuuup...mmm...sluuurp...”
Odette closed her eyes as she focused on the movents of her tongue.
The kiss was awkward, but he could feel the warmth she was trying to share with him through her silence.
It was only after a long ti passed did Odette finally break up her kiss and look up at Siwoo with a flushed face.
The twins were usually rowdy and mischievous, but at tis like this, they’d exude a potent and enticing charm like no others.
“Hehe... That felt nice~”
“Odette! It’s three minutes already! Get away from him!”
“Ahh...! Sis, that tickles—!”
Odile placed her hands behind Odette’s armpits and dragged her away.
Of course, Odette imdiately complained when she did that.
“I deserved this! I won the rock-paper-scissors!”
“You won, but that didn’t an you got to hog him all to yourself!”
“You’d do the sa if you won!”
Seeing them arguing like this, a happy smile appeared on Siwoo’s face.
At that mont, Periwinkle’s words ca to his mind.
‘If you have ti to feel guilty towards , then you should spend it to fall for .’ At first, those words sounded like sophistry.
But, after he gave it more thought, he realized that she probably was right about this whole thing.
Because to him, every one of these girls were precious.
“Ms. Odile, Ms. Odette.”
“Don’t try to stop right now, Mr. Assistant! Lately this girl has been talking back to , her older sister, like she owns the place! It’s ti for us to settle this once and for all!”
“You’re only older by a few minutes!”
He opened his arms and embraced the two of them tightly.
“H-Huh? W-Why, so suddenly...?”
“W-We still have things to settle...”
Just a mont ago, the atmosphere between the twins were so heated that it wouldn’t be strange if they got into a fight, but now they were resting in his embrace, they beca significantly calr than before.
“Thank you. As always.”
“W-Why are you thanking us all of a sudden...?”
“Y-Yeah, you don’t need to thank us! You are our life savior after all, Mr. Assistant...”
“No, Ms. Odile, Ms. Odette. You two are my life saviors.”
The twins were so embarrassed that they could only twirl their hair around.
Even their embarrassed gestures were the exact sa.
Seeing them putting their complete trust—almost like a blind trust—in him made him feel a stronger sense of responsibility.
“I promise I’ll beco a better person and beco soone who can answer your feelings, Ms. Odette, Ms. Odile.”
“What are you talking about, Mr. Assistant? You’re good enough for us already, and you’ve answered our feelings enough!”
“That’s right, that’s right!”
“Anyway, it’s my turn to kiss you now!”
Odile pushed her lips forward like a bird urging for food.
In any case, due to where they were right now, the twins also thought that asking him to have a sex with them would be too much.
And so, they just hung out together while talking about various things.
As if he was retelling the story of a hero, he told them about his fight with Bianca.
Then, the topic wandered to the ti when they first t...
The ti when they t the Witch of Aquarius...
Even the trivial tis when the twins caught him sleeping and much more.
It was a pleasant night.
