https://ncode.syosetu.com/n5562hc/49/ Jammed Finger We returned to the dorms while carrying a passed-out Melia and Nerine on our backs. It was a long walk, but thanks to Olive's magic strengthening my arms, I laid Melia down into her bed without feeling any strain at all. Each time we passed someone's room, our group went down by … Continue reading Hero Audition Ch. 49 →

https://ncode.syosetu.com/n5562hc/48/ Night Sky Lily held up the fiddle. The beautiful curve drawn by her straightened spine caught my eye. I've seen people play the fiddle countless times in bars before, but the difference between them and her is obvious. Upbringing, dignity, confidence, and ability. I'm hit by the way she just oozes out every single … Continue reading Hero Audition Ch. 48 →

https://ncode.syosetu.com/n5562hc/47/ Banquet Walking the streets all alone at night. The sound of my heels clicking against the stone road echoed around me. The closer I got to the dorms, the fewer people I ran into, but inversely, the buildings kept getting bigger while the road got wider. In the royal capital, 80 percent of the … Continue reading Hero Audition Ch. 47 →

https://ncode.syosetu.com/n5562hc/46/ Orphanage Our babysitting job wasn't over yet. Once we were finished eating, the oldest wanted to play again. "Onee-chan, I want to visit Don." "D-Don?" "You don't know? He has a scary face, but he's really nice." I don't know any of the details, but isn't that the name of Andy's boss? I'd hate … Continue reading Hero Audition Ch. 46 →

https://ncode.syosetu.com/n5562hc/45/ Babysitting "Last place Onee-chan! Wake up!" A little girl's voice dragged my attention back to reality after it hopped from place to place. Colorful and clean wooden toys that had their sharp edges shaved away were scattered across the floor around us. Each one was shaped to mimic some piece of fruit or tableware. … Continue reading Hero Audition Ch. 45 →

https://ncode.syosetu.com/n5562hc/44/ Tabletop When I returned to the client's house, Melia and Dahlia were waiting outside. "Done already?" Dahlia looked at me with a tired face. "It's over. The husband was apparently a fan of Melia's. He agreed to everything after she told him he could hold her hand." "T-That poor wife...." "Seriously. Plus they're in … Continue reading Hero Audition Ch. 44 →

https://ncode.syosetu.com/n5562hc/43/ Knee Kick I was thinking too much last night and never fell too deeply asleep. Plus my body apparently remembers how early I got up yesterday because I suddenly woke up on my own. I had rolled around at night at some point and woke up laying on my side. I rubbed my eyes, … Continue reading Hero Audition Ch. 43 →

https://ncode.syosetu.com/n5562hc/42/ Hand Lily moved from Olive's side over to mine, hugging me from behind the exact same way she had done when she was comforting Olive. My heartbeat sped up because it felt just like when Lily was getting in the mood, but I bit my lip since right now is obviously not the time … Continue reading Hero Audition Ch. 42 →

https://ncode.syosetu.com/n5562hc/41/ Revenge "Olive-san! Please snap out of it! I'm Liffy!" "N-No! You're wrong! Elm.... You are Elm!" Olive started swinging my body from side to side while still hugging me. It's like she's trying to shake out some kind of evil spirit that's possessing my body. For some reason, Olive is overlapping me with her … Continue reading Hero Audition Ch. 41 →

https://ncode.syosetu.com/n5562hc/40/ Big Toe Lily deftly pinched my nose between her toes. A strong sour smell mixed with the scent of the leather and pierced my nostrils. To be clear, it smells awful, and my eyebrows naturally wrinkled as my whole face scrunched up. When I looked at Lily, she seemed ecstatic, and all her focus … Continue reading Hero Audition Ch. 40 →
