https://ncode.syosetu.com/n5562hc/87/ Engagement Annulment A few weeks after I met Lily in the treasure house, a party is being held to announce her marriage. Since it's a wedding between the prestigious and ancient Ruhuna family and the representatives of the emerging aristocrats, the Candy family, there will be several hundred attendees from a wide variety of … Continue reading Hero Audition Ch. 87 →

https://ncode.syosetu.com/n5562hc/86/ Tryst Two weeks have already passed since the Hero Audition's finale. On that day, Lily had plenty of time to do what she needed after the long talk I had with Heath. By the time I managed to make it back to her dorm room, my stuff were the only things left inside. I … Continue reading Hero Audition Ch. 86 →

https://ncode.syosetu.com/n5562hc/85/ Grandpa "Erica is my Grandma. But you already knew that right?" "Oh ho, is she really? You looked similar enough that I thought it might be true." His voice was so monotone that I had to wonder why he he was bothering to lie. I glared at Heath, not in the mood to deal … Continue reading Hero Audition Ch. 85 →

https://ncode.syosetu.com/n5562hc/84/ Win or Lose Without really feeling it, I walked to the front of the stage and took a seat in the fourth chair. At Heath's urging, I put the tiara there on my head and accepted the applause from everyone in the venue. After that, the ceremony continued on without me having to do … Continue reading Hero Audition Ch. 84 →

https://ncode.syosetu.com/n5562hc/83/ Final Results The mock battles for the final round of the competition were over sooner than anyone could have possibly expected. Maybe there was something interesting to see when the other teams faced each other, but whenever our team was up to fight, we won without our opponents ever having a chance to lift … Continue reading Hero Audition Ch. 83 →

https://ncode.syosetu.com/n5562hc/82/ Pledge The formation of the teams had already been decided, but aside from the competition, apparently they would be holding individual interviews for each of the candidates who had made it to the final round. Nobody had told me anything about this, so I was dragged back to a room with no time to … Continue reading Hero Audition Ch. 82 →

https://ncode.syosetu.com/n5562hc/81/ Contact Lily actually called it. Akatsu came to see me, probably because I looked like I could be easily bought. I'm not about to be taken in, but It's still nerve-wracking since one mistake could put Lily at a disadvantage later. "I-It has been a while." "Please, no need to be scared. Could we … Continue reading Hero Audition Ch. 81 →

https://ncode.syosetu.com/n5562hc/80/ Advance The day for the unveiling of the second round's results had finally come. The number of chairs adorned with the different rankings which had started feeling like a tradition to me had also been reduced, and this time they were only numbered from one to sixteen. Meanwhile on this side, thirty people were … Continue reading Hero Audition Ch. 80 →

https://ncode.syosetu.com/n5562hc/79/ Revival Two weeks have passed since Nerine, Peony, and Melia were bedridden. Nerine was the first one to wake up. A large room in the dorm was refurbished into a medical office, and the three of them were laid down into their own beds lined up against the wall. Nerine, who was sleeping at … Continue reading Hero Audition Ch. 79 →

https://ncode.syosetu.com/n5562hc/78/ Resurrection The fact finally set in when the dragon fell to the ground. Nerine is dead. And it's my fault. I wanted to show off as much as I could and avoided running away until the final second. Of course there was also the benefit of us being able to quickly slay the dragon … Continue reading Hero Audition Ch. 78 →
