https://ncode.syosetu.com/n5562hc/37/ Separate Actions Me, Melia, and Dahlia searched for our three noble teammates, but it didn't take long to find them hanging out near the bulletin board. We greeted them with a half-smile as we approached. All three of them had huge bags at their side. Even though we haven't talked about what we're going … Continue reading Hero Audition Ch. 37 →

https://ncode.syosetu.com/n5562hc/36/ Retaliatory Battle The feeling of floating. It is an awful thing to feel when you are just waking up. And then the impact of hitting the floor brings you to full attention. "Ugh....Lily-san?" After I rubbed the haziness out of my eyes, I saw Lily peering at me from over the bed. She's smiling … Continue reading Hero Audition Ch. 36 →

https://ncode.syosetu.com/n5562hc/35/ Self-Introductions Lily straddled my waist, undressing me on the bed until I was just in my underwear. "Stay on your back." She then got off the bed and grabbed the bottle of alcohol. "Uh...um.... You aren't going to hit me are you?" "You don't like pain right? Or did something awaken in you tonight … Continue reading Hero Audition Ch. 35 →

https://ncode.syosetu.com/n5562hc/34/ Glass A sudden kiss from Lily. Her lips were colder than I thought they'd be. The thought that it was because she doesn't have a heart may have crossed my mind. It's a waste I know, but I put my hands on her shoulders and pushed her away from me. "Um....what are you doing?" … Continue reading Hero Audition Ch. 34 →

https://ncode.syosetu.com/n5562hc/33/ Rescue My body is shaking. Jostling actually, and it hurts. I guess this means I'm still alive. And I was right, someone did find me. I slowly opened my non-swollen eye. I don't know if it's eye mucus or blood, but something was blurring my vision. Some girl is carrying me in her arms. … Continue reading Hero Audition Ch. 33 →

https://ncode.syosetu.com/n5562hc/32/ Retaliation Although we are all on the same team, the wall between the three nobles and the commoners me, Melia, and Dahlia is high. After finishing the bare minimum level of conversation between us to confirm tomorrow's schedule, we never interacted with each other again--even avoiding sitting at the same table as each other … Continue reading Hero Audition Ch. 32 →

https://ncode.syosetu.com/n5562hc/31/ Stage One Examination I finished changing my clothes and headed to the same venue where the unveiling party had been held. Chairs numbered from 1 to 51 were lined up just like that time as well. Since then, they have yet to do anything about my personal makeshift seat. Today they would announce what … Continue reading Hero Audition Ch. 31 →

https://ncode.syosetu.com/n5562hc/30/ Breakfast "Hey. Get up. We're getting breakfast." I didn't get a wink of sleep last night, so you don't need to be that loud trying to wake me up. Ran ripped off my comforter, so I reluctantly got out of bed. "Morning." "Yeah, good morning. Did you not get much sleep?" Ran was staring … Continue reading Hero Audition Ch. 30 →

https://ncode.syosetu.com/n5562hc/29/ Confession "Oh.....um.....you aren't mad?" "What?" Lily refused to let me go, so her soft voice was right next to my ear. "I was attending a get together like that. But I swear it's a misunderstanding." I heard a small chuckle escape from Lily's lips. Her hands slowly started to creep up my back as … Continue reading Hero Audition Ch. 29 →

https://ncode.syosetu.com/n5562hc/28/ Resolution "Who among you is the ringleader? You have put on quite the show." Lily looked over each of the participants one by one as she spoke.
