Epilogue Chapter 60 - Sky and Sea (4)

The kimchi stew party commenced out of nowhere. The otherworldly individuals might not understand but serving them Han Seol-Ah’s kimchi stew was the highest form of accommodation Oh Kang-Woo could give them. It was not an ultra-luxury food that was hard to come by, but the familiarity that came with kimchi stew rather alleviated the awkward atmosphere lingering between them.

But of course, there were also two women whose relationship had gotten even more heated.

“Wh-What the hell are you talking about, one-eye?!”

“What’d you just call me? Both my eyes work just fine!”

“Then why are you wearing an eyepatch? Huh? Aha~ I get it. You wanted to look cool, didn’t you? Sheesh~ Are you still suffering from chūnibyō at your age?”

“Wh-Who the hell are you calling chūnibyō, pipsqueak? Besides, you don’t even know how old I am!”

“Well... you look like you’re in your early twenties, but... you’re over thirty, aren’t you?”

Cha Yeon-Joo crossed her arms and narrowed her eyes. Those who reached a certain level of strength did not age, so she made a guess based on feeling.

“Ngh...! H-How did you—?!”

She seemed to have hit the mark based on Song Ha-Eun’s reaction.

“Pfft! A fashion eyepatch in your thirties... tsk, tsk.”

“I-It’s not for fashion!! How old are you, then?!”

“Me? I’m...” Yeon-Joo’s expression hardened. She only looked to be in her early twenties as well but was already in her forties. “T-Twenty... five?”

“Liar! You’re obviously over thirty yourself!”

“Sh-Shut up!”

Yeon-Joo and Ha-Eun growled at each other. Kang-Woo chilled the heated air between them with ice-cold beer from the fridge.

“Kaaaah! Beer tastes the same here too!”

“Oh? Do you like beer too?”

“Of course! Cold beer is the best form of alcohol!”

“Haha! You sure know your stuff!”

“Any snacks to go with the beer? It doesn’t go well with the kimchi stew.”

“Oh, just a sec. We have dried squid and peanuts. Shall we drink?”

“Sounds good!”

“Hubby~! Go grill us some dried squid!”

“Oh-Jin! Stop standing around and have a drink next to me, dammit!”

The two women burst into laughter and hit their cans together like they had never fought. Kang-Woo and Kwon Oh-Jin glanced at each other pitifully as if telling each other they had it rough and were forced to join the two women for drinks.

The four of them were forced to go to the living room because they were too loud. Meanwhile, the other four were chatting away at the dining table.

“Seol-Ah, was it? Could you teach us your kimchi stew recipe later?”

“Oh, yes. Of course.”

“Fufu. I’ve been studying Korean cuisine lately but your food was just too good. Oh, forgive me. I haven’t introduced myself yet. My name is Isabella Colgrande.

“I-I’m Han Seol-Ah.”

Seol-Ah shook Isabella’s hand and gulped, feeling an overwhelming difference in class. The blonde Isabella’s natural noble-like aura caused Seol-Ah to shrink away.

“Hmm... was I disrespectful in any way?” asked Isabella.

“N-No! It’s just that... you’re extremely beautiful.”

“My, you’re just as beautiful, Seol-Ah.”

Isabella giggled elegantly with one hand covering her mouth. Her every action was so elegant that Seol-Ah couldn’t help but stare at her in awe.

The shorter woman sitting next to Isabella smiled faintly and remarked, “Would you like to know something, Seol-Ah? You’d see her smiling to death if you removed that hand from her mouth. It’s all an act.”

“U-Unnie!”

“God, you’re such a sly fox. You’re just a leech who only thinks about how to suck more of Sir Oh-Jin’s blood.”

“Be quiet! What are you saying in front of people we just met?!”

“Wow~ You’re not denying it then, huh?”

The short woman smirked as she teased Isabella.

“Unnie...?”

Seol-Ah expected the two women to be related since their appearance and aura were similar but did not expect the shorter one to be the older sister.

“Fufu. you thought I was the younger one, didn’t you? Oh, my name is Cassia Colgrande.”

“N-No, I wasn’t...”

“Come on, it’s written all over your face. Hmm, I will admit my little sister has a bunch of excess fat plastered on her.” Cassia stared dissatisfyingly at Isabella’s chest. “What in the world did you eat to get that— huh?”

Cassia’s gaze shifted to Seol-Ah’s chest and muttered tremblingly, “Oh my God... Bella, she’s even bigger than you!”

“Why are you comparing us, unnie?!”

“How do you get such massive jugs with that slender waist...?” Cassia glanced at the empty kimchi stew pot. “Is that kimchi stew... your secret?”

“Pardon? N-No! I-I wouldn’t say that...”

Seol-Ah wrapped her arms around her chest, her cheeks reddening as the topic suddenly went to her breasts. However, that action only accentuated them. The aura her breasts exuded was enormous despite wearing a baggy sweater. Cassia snapped her fingers as if she had realized something.

“I see. I now understand this world is completely different from our Earth.”

“I don’t think this has anything to do with that...”

“No, this can only be possible because this is a different Earth.”

Cassia nodded with certainty. Seol-Ah smiled awkwardly and scratched her cheek. The awkward air between the two groups died down significantly after having a meal together.

‘What a relief,’

Seol-Ah thought.

She was worried that it would lead to a massive battle after seeing the black Rift covering the sky, but the individuals who crossed over were so affable that even a shy person like herself could get along with them. However, there was one problem.

‘They’re all too beautiful.’

Ha-Eun, Isabella, Cassia, and Vega were abnormally beautiful— to the point that she was worried Kang-Woo might fall for them.

‘N-No!’

Seol-Ah shook her head to chase away the obsession boiling inside her. Kang-Woo wouldn’t lay his hands on other women just because they were beautiful.

‘And they’re all Oh-Jin’s lovers.’

Hence, there was even less to worry about...

“Huh?” Just then, a question popped up in Seol-Ah’s head. “W-Wait a second. You two are sisters, aren’t you?”

“Hm? Yes, we are.”

“Umm... B-Biological sisters?”

“Yes.”

“...”

Two sisters had become the lovers of one man. Seol-Ah, who thought she had become rather open-minded after sharing a lover with Yeon-Joo and Lilith, was shocked by the revelation.

“I-I see... we are definitely from different worlds, it seems,” Seol-Ah muttered as she nodded.

Isabella and Cassia smiled awkwardly.

“Huh? Is it that weird for sisters to share a man?” asked Lilith who had been leisurely sipping her coffee.

“Uhh... I-I would say it’s not normal,” Seol-Ah replied.

“Really? I guess I still don’t fully understand humans.”

“Hm...? What do you mean by that?” asked Isabella, tilting her head in confusion as she turned to Lilith.

Lilith softly shrugged and answered, “Fufu. I’m a demon. Do you know what a Succubus is?”

“Oh, I see. Yes, there are Succubi in our world too. Oh, I’m not saying they exist, but there are stories about them.”

“Oh, is that so?”

“Yes. That aside, I thought Succubi would have bat wings or a tail, but... I suppose that’s not the case.”

“Oh, this isn’t my true form. I’m only transformed into a human.”

“Really?”

Isabella’s eyes shone with great interest. Succubi were demons who seduced men to steal their life force. Lilith’s human form was already immensely beautiful so she wondered how much more beautiful her true form would be.

“If I may ask, could you show us your true form?” Isabella asked.

“Fufu. But of course.”

“W-WAIT! STOP, UNNIE!!!”

Seol-Ah quickly pulled Lilith and frantically shook her head. Isabella and Cassia tilted their heads in confusion due to Seol-Ah’s desperation.

“What’s the matter?”

“U-Umm... Th-The thing is...”

“Oh, is it because her true form is too beautiful?”

“Hmm. I see... we were too careless when Sir Oh-Jin was here too. I know, Succubi tend to charm men around them unintentionally, right?”

“Just how beautiful must you be to...”

The two sisters stared at Lilith with curiosity and fear.

“Umm... Well... So...” stuttered the pale-faced Seol-Ah. She nodded with an awkward smile. “Y-Yes, that’s right. When unnie returns to her true form... uhh... it’ll be a huge problem because she’s too b-beautiful.”

“My~ I didn’t know you thought about my true form that way, my little Seol-Ah~?”

Lilith smiled giddily and embraced Seol-Ah.

She smiled and whispered in Seol-Ah’s ear, “Don’t worry, Seol-Ah. I’ll baby you with my tentacles later once we’re alone ♡”

Her voice was sweet but Seol-Ah was disgusted as if cockroaches crawled out of the apple she was eating.

“H-Honey... Help...”

Seol-Ah turned to the living room but only saw the drunk Ha-Eun and Yeon-Joo. Kang-Woo and Oh-Jin were nowhere in sight.
