[Incest] Creating a Friendly Family 580 (Cheol-jin, Seul-gi) (Oksang) (Truths Revealed 4)

580

“It suddenly occurred to me then… about Se-young’s magic academy, and Se-hee Noona’s sex diet…”

“And even about Mom’s slave contract… maybe someone is deliberately trying to let you, Shi-woo, know about it, sending signals, perhaps…”

Cheol-jin looked at Shi-woo with a serious expression, continuing as if piecing together a jumbled puzzle.

Shi-woo’s eyes widened, his face showing a mixture of surprise and bewilderment.

**

“Three, right?”

Cheol-jin asked again, seeing Shi-woo speechless, as if his thoughts had frozen…

“Huh, what?”

Shi-woo asked back, as if he didn’t quite understand Cheol-jin’s question.

“I’m talking about the number of questions we could ask Seul-gi at the magic academy.”

Cheol-jin seemed to be enjoying Shi-woo’s dazed reaction, answering his own question.

Cheol-jin seemed to be talking about Seul-gi’s crystal ball reading event that took place after the parent-teacher conference at the magic academy.

“I also asked Seul-gi three things I was curious about when I got my crystal ball reading, you know?”

Cheol-jin said, staring at Shi-woo with a meaningful smile.

Shi-woo recalled the memory of having a crystal ball reading alone with Seul-gi in a secret room with blackout curtains on the day of Se-young’s magic academy parent-teacher conference.

Conversations they had as if sharing worries in a space that felt separated from the world, with Seul-gi dressed in an orange witch costume and a shining crystal ball between them…

Seul-gi’s fortune-telling consultation, which started with a half-doubtful and lighthearted attitude, gradually turned into a profound atmosphere, and in the end, brought unexpected embarrassment to Shi-woo.

Recalling the events of that time, a mysterious feeling that could only be felt there seemed to revive within Shi-woo, as if blurring the boundaries between reality and dream.

Those moments were dreamlike and intense, as if possessed by something…

“We filled out a questionnaire after our consultation, right? There was a section on the last page about the crystal ball reading where you could write down your concerns or things you wanted to ask, right? Do you know what I wrote there?”

Cheol-jin asked, trying to draw attention and a reaction from Shi-woo, who was immersed in recalling the feelings of that time.

“Wh…what did you write?”

Shi-woo asked, looking at Cheol-jin with eyes that seemed to mix curiosity and anxiety.

“Slave contract… manager… and sex diet…”

Cheol-jin conveyed the words he had written on the academy questionnaire to Shi-woo, pronouncing each word clearly and distinctly.

Shi-woo stared at Cheol-jin with wide eyes.

Cheol-jin had already thrown provocative question keywords at Seul-gi and Teacher Yoo-ye-na without hesitation, even before going in to see the crystal ball.

“While you were inside getting your crystal ball reading, I talked to Teacher Yoo-ye-na about various things…”

“Like the cafe rental fee in the basement, the relationship between Seul-gi and Shin-bi, and whether she really didn’t have a boyfriend, things like that…”

“I heard the building is owned by the academy? Seul-gi and Shin-bi are said to be nieces, but it was a bit awkward to talk about family relationships at the time…”

“I also casually asked about rumors circulating about the magic academy? Absurd stories about superpowers, human trafficking, and being mistresses of executives of large corporations or politicians.”

“All of them were rude questions, but she flatly denied only the superpower part, and just smiled and glossed over the rest… It wasn’t an affirmation, but it definitely wasn’t a denial either…”

“There were many more things I wanted to ask, but it was almost my turn, so I moved to get my crystal ball reading…”

Cheol-jin was explaining in detail to Shi-woo about the conversations he had with Teacher Yoo-ye-na while Shi-woo was inside getting his crystal ball consultation from Seul-gi.

“And then I was able to ask Seul-gi questions… things I was curious about regarding the slave contract…”

“You know from experience, but Seul-gi was sitting in a dark room, acting? With a dimly glowing crystal ball in front of her…”

“When I sat down across from her, she set the mood and even said that the things we talked about would be buried as secrets forever in that room…”

“To someone who came to ask about the slave contract or the sex diet… Seul-gi would have looked at it before I came in, right? The questionnaire I filled out… but she was calmly accepting it.”

Cheol-jin was also explaining in detail to Shi-woo about the situation inside the secret room where he went to get his crystal ball reading, and about Seul-gi’s attitude.

Cheol-jin, seeing Shi-woo’s serious expression as he listened intently, wore a satisfied expression and continued his story.

“What I was initially curious about was this… whether they were really deliberately leaking information about that world to us…”

“If so, why would they try to pass on such important information to us now?”

“Was it a simple mistake or a coincidence, or… was it planned from the beginning?”

“The second thing I was curious about was… why Mom made such a slave contract in the first place. Maybe she was in debt… or maybe they had some other weakness of hers?”

“I felt like I needed to know that clearly so I could help, mess things up, or report it later, or do something…”

“And if the slave contract or the things I investigated were true, then Seul-gi sitting there was also Mom’s daughter, right?”

“I was curious how she would answer? I thought I could naturally understand her position and emotional state regarding Mom by looking at her attitude when answering.”

“The third thing was about the sex diet your Noona is trying to do… what exactly is that strange gathering disguised as a meeting for?”

“If the magic academy is involved, I didn’t think it would be a simple act of rebellion by the students…”

Cheol-jin said, wearing a proud smile, as if proudly listing a difficult and arduous journey of achievement, about his internal conflicts, worries, and choices.

“So, did you get an answer? From Seul-gi?!”

Shi-woo asked Cheol-jin anxiously, as if confirming.

“Um… I did.”

Cheol-jin looked down at the floor as if lost in thought for a moment, changing his tone of voice to a serious one.

“What did she say?”

Shi-woo asked Cheol-jin again, urging him to answer, unable to bear his impatience.

“The answer to the first question was ‘yes.’ They were deliberately leaking information about that world to us.”

“She added that we would find out the reason soon, and then she became reluctant to say more even if I asked…”

“I didn’t ask any further because I could roughly guess. I thought it must be related to inheritance or something…”

Cheol-jin conveyed Seul-gi’s answer to his first question to Shi-woo.

“The answer to the second question was ‘We don’t make you do anything you don’t want to do.'”

“I guess that’s the policy of the slave contract set by the group. I looked at Seul-gi’s expression at that time… and she seemed to get a little gloomy when she said that. A sad expression…”

“So, the reason Mom made the slave contract wasn’t because she was in debt or had a weakness, but because of her voluntary choice…”

Cheol-jin then calmly conveyed Seul-gi’s second answer to his question to Shi-woo.

Shi-woo smiled bitterly, thinking of his Mom, and waited for Cheol-jin to continue.

“I was a little surprised at the third one too! Seul-gi said that the meeting is like the group’s ‘initiation ceremony’?”

“It seems that you can’t just participate in the group just because you’re an heir…”

“Even if your parents have a master-slave relationship and a slave contract, making you participate in the group and keeping secrets is a different matter from inheritance.”

“And that meeting is an initiation ceremony, but it also seems to have some purpose of ‘qualification screening’ or ‘monitoring’ for people with inheritance rights.”

“Sometimes people are initiated into the group at once through such meetings, but they also make them participate multiple times to observe the situation, or if they think they don’t have the qualifications, they may later deprive them of their qualifications.”

Cheol-jin continued to explain to Shi-woo the purpose of the meeting and additional details he had heard from Seul-gi.

“So, does that mean that everyone gathered there at that meeting, except for me and Se-hee, knew about the purpose of that gathering from the beginning?”

Shi-woo seemed confused, but he asked Cheol-jin, trying to organize his thoughts in his head somehow.

“I think all the women there except Se-hee knew. I think I was probably the only one of the men who knew…”

“It’s also written in the slave contract, but it seems that girls naturally grow up receiving such education from a young age.”

“It seems that your family is a bit of a special case with Se-hee, and our family doesn’t have any female siblings… so it doesn’t apply…”

Cheol-jin was answering Shi-woo’s questions in as much detail as he knew.
