Chapter Title: Let's Do That Already (4)

"Can't we join too?"
"We'll just watch quietly."
"Miss Odil, Miss Odet. As I said before, no."
"But we're curious... Sharon bought all sorts of things. We just want to see how they're used."
"We're not going alone. Amelia and Eloa can come as chaperones... right?"
"I said no. Off to bed with you."
"Why not?!"
In the end, the twins learned the true nature of the exotic date course through Eloa's tactful explanation.
Upon realizing it was a shop selling special items for couples—like the Love Jenga they'd been unable to use and left gathering dust—they flew into a rage.
Didn't that mean Sharon was hoarding all the modern world's special items for herself?
As fellow lovers, they had every reason to be on high alert about her unleashing a barrage of killer moves like that.
"Please... pretty please?"
"We won't tell Master."
For that reason, Odil and Odet were desperate to tag along.
Even just to watch.
On the other hand, Amelia absolutely could not allow it.
Sharing love between lovers was a sacred act.
The Apprentice Witches weren't exceptions to that.
That's why she turned a blind eye whenever the two snuck off to share moments of love with Si-woo.
Not that the twins would stop even if she did say something.
"Miss Odet, peeking into a couple's private life is rude. And we all agreed to give Sharon her space tonight."
But as a mature witch, letting her apprentices roam free into deviance was something principle-driven Amelia could never tolerate.
Finally fed up with their whining, she channeled the sternness of her vice professor days and scolded the twins harshly.
"Vice Professor... this is a really important matter. If things stay like this, we'll lose our overwhelming edge."
Sensing that mere sulking wouldn't work, the twins switched tactics.
They decided to change their point of attack.
"Vice Professor, hear us out. Sharon must have bought a ton of those special modern-world items, right?"
"Rare crafts you can't find anywhere in Gehenna."
"That's true. But what does that have to do with anything?"
"Don't you get it? She'll steal the significance of our 'firsts'!"
"Firsts?"
Amelia, still not grasping the twins' explanation, furrowed her brows slightly.
"You said you've done events for the Assistant before, right, Amelia?"
"Wh-what's that got to do with anything all of a sudden?"
"What if you prepare an event for him later and it overlaps with something Sharon already did?"
Odil pointed dramatically at Odet, who brought her hair up to her upper lip like a mustache and dropped her voice low.
"Hmm? Amelia prepared an event for me using modern crafts. Huh? But Sharon did this exact thing before."
"...It could be a total disaster!"
"Of course, the Assistant is so sweet he wouldn't show it, but deep down he'd think, 'Sharon did this...' for sure!"
"Th-that can't happen...!"
Amelia lost her composure and shot up from her seat.
Naturally, the modern world had far more sexually open products.
And compared to Sharon, who'd spent a long time there, Amelia's knowledge of it was woefully lacking.
In a situation where Sharon already held a comparative advantage, what if Amelia's carefully prepared item turned out to be a duplicate?
The exact scenario the twins described could play out.
"Exactly! It's our only chance to stop Sharon's monopoly!"
"We have to go and analyze exactly how those items are used, then exploit the gaps!"
Amelia wavered greatly for a moment.
It would be rude, but should she go? What excuse could she use? Was there a natural way to join? Maybe she could end up in Si-woo's arms tonight?
Torn by countless conflicts, she swallowed them down with blood-boiling patience.
Responsibility barely won out.
"Still no."
"“Hiiiing...”"
"I'll ask for the receipt tomorrow. That way, nothing overlaps, right? Now, get ready for bed."
With their final ploy blocked, the twins deflated and were soon pushed onto the bed by Amelia.
It was well past the Apprentice Witches' bedtime.
The moment their heads hit the pillow, they were out like lights.
Amelia let out a deep sigh and trudged wearily back to the living room.
Eloa was there alone, sipping from her glass.
Though the twins were wild and unruly, they oddly made Eloa uncomfortable, so she'd stepped out as a considerate gesture.
"Care for a drink?"
"Thank you. I have newfound respect for the Gemernai Count."
"Those two young ladies are so full of energy. It's a good thing. A healthy curiosity is a witch's true talent, isn't it?"
"You're right."
Having weathered two bouts of heartache together, Eloa and Amelia had grown somewhat close.
The two emptied the bottle with light chit-chat.
"Duke."
"Yes?"
Matching Eloa's rather brisk pace, Amelia soon felt the buzz.
With her cheeks nicely flushed, she cautiously shared the worry weighing on her mind.
"Do you do them too?"
"Do what?"
"Th-those... events for Si-woo."
"Ahem."
Eloa nearly choked on her drink but swallowed it back with a cough.
For Eloa, an "event" meant not just bunny girl outfits, but submitting fully in bed.
Even with her balanced mindset, that secret was too embarrassing to share with others.
"It's the loving intent that matters more than the specifics, no?"
"But Si-woo's reactions say otherwise... He loves them so much, it makes me want to try all sorts of things, but it's so hard."
"I do them too, but..."
Eloa understood why Amelia was troubled.
