Chapter 17 Hesitation

“KANON, wake up already.” My heavy eyes open at Serene’s urging.

“S-Sorry! Good morning!”

Crawling into bed at the crack of dawn caused me to oversleep. I quickly sit up. Moist clothing sticks to my sweaty skin. I was only capable of sleeping in this heat thanks to the tent’s careful construction allowing for a cool breeze to blow through specialized gaps in the upper parts and the ground, creating air circulation. Sunlight mercilessly shines through those gaps once dawn breaks.

“Where is Leise?”

“She’s—”

“Good morning, Kanon. Did you sleep well?” Leise says, holding up a corner of the curtain and peering into the room. A delicious aroma wafts into the room through the lifted curtain, stirring my stomach awake.

Leise’s attire draws my attention more than the mouth-watering scent does. She’s clad in eye-catching clothing entirely different from what she had been wearing. Maybe she’s wearing the traditional clothing of this country.

Despite this dreadful heat, her clothing covers her arms and legs, barely revealing any flesh; a dramatic change from her earlier attire. Her clothing uses black as its base and emphasizes her youthful beauty in a simple manner. Her attire truly suits my image of what an Augur would wear as traditional clothing.

“Kanon?”

“G-Good morning! I slept well!”

“Breakfast is ready, so if you are ready, please follow me.”

“Oh! Thanks!”

Leise grins and returns to the room on the other side of the curtain.

I comb through my bed hair with my hands and tie it back, when—

“Kanon, did you have fun last night?”

“Fun?”

There’s a mischievous look in Serene’s eyes as she grins down at me.

“You were having a tryst with that man, no?”

My brain stops working for a moment over the unfamiliar word. It doesn’t take long to click in my mind that she’s referring to something like a date.

“Y-You got the wrong—”

“I kept wondering whether I should look for you because you didn’t come back for a long time, but I thought it would be rude of me to get in your way,” Serene jests, enjoying my reaction. “But Kanon, I don’t think he’s right for you.”

“That’s not it! Really not it! Totally not it! You’ve got the completely wrong idea! It’s not what you’re thinking... You see, I asked him to teach me how he uses Sorcery, so I can apply his method to my Siren ability in Singing!”

“...Aw shucks, I’m wrong?” Serene says, suddenly losing interest. Serene surprisingly has a thing for talking about romantic relationships; either that or she enjoys tormenting others.

I bring my hands to my slightly warmed cheeks. I’m reminded of how Serene reacted when Leise’s fiancé came up last night.

“Serene, don’t you love mini-Rag?” I asked, a mischievous grin creeping onto my lips.

“Yeah, I love him,” Serene declares with a dead-serious expression ruining my fun.

“You have absolutely no interest in adult-Rag? What if he has a girlfriend...” Rag is traveling with us right now, but there’s a chance he has someone waiting for him back home.

“I have absolutely no interest in him whatsoever. Wait, actually, I hate that man,” she declares without hesitation.
