The rising sun pierced through the clouds, casting its rays upon the earth and awakening all things from their slumber...
"Um……"
"Waaah..."
I feel like I'm suffocating...
The moment I opened my eyes...
really……
It's Lilith...
I don't know when she arrived, but I'm really worried that she might suffocate me one day, since I've been so reckless. That would truly be like dying under a peony flower, a romantic death even as a ghost.
Breaking free from Lilith's embrace, he finally breathed in the hard-won fresh air.
Looking out the window, the sky was still somewhat dark, and the sun would probably not appear for a while.
"How about we go for a morning run?"
With that thought in mind, I pulled a wooden basin out from under the bed, filled it with water magic, and then vigorously rubbed my cheeks to fully wake up my brain.
Wrap yourself in a coat and then a long robe; although it's springtime, the temperature still hasn't risen.
After leaving the room, the boss greeted me warmly, seemingly still at get off work. I smiled and responded before heading to the main road.
You can't skip warm-up exercises before your morning run.
First, do a set of bending and stretching movements and left and right lunges, then rotate your elbows and shoulders, and finally massage your calves. That's it.
"Yoshi! Leon! Charge!"
After taking a deep breath, I started running forward.
The people in the working-class area seemed to be up very early; many shops had already opened and were preparing for business.
Unlike the city of Burjeni, the city of Calorans is very complex. After turning a corner in an alley, you will find many forks in the road, making it like a maze.
Therefore, I don't plan to go into the alley. I'm not familiar enough with Kylorans yet, so I'll just stick to running along the main road for now.
"Good morning!"
When I pass by people preparing to open their shops, I greet them.
"Hello!"
"Whose child is this? So polite..."
Being given such a compliment makes me feel very good. If they ask for my name, I will tell them without hesitation that my name is Leon Cabreen!
Taking the initiative to greet someone is the best way to leave a good impression.
As the eldest son of the Cabdeon family, he cannot bring shame to his father, even in Kylorans.
They stopped running when they were almost out of breath.
"We still can't see the city gate."
I originally planned to stop at the city gate, but it seems I was overthinking it. The area of Kylorans is really huge.
After a short rest, they turned back.
Back at the hotel, Lilith was still unconscious, and she could be seen lying on the bed in a "big" position.
Judging from her appearance, she was sleeping in a very awkward position. It seemed that after I disappeared, she was lying on her back on the bed with her legs spread wide open, fast asleep.
The blanket was kicked aside, leaving her thin underwear exposed to the air, and there was a dangerous gap in her trouser leg that seemed to allow a glimpse inside.
It seems that at my insistence, Lilith stopped sleeping naked and started wearing similar pajamas instead.
However, Lilith doesn't seem to be wearing a bra; if you look closely, you can see two particularly prominent nipples.
And then there's that face, drooling and grinning like an idiot.
"Hehehe..."
Looking at Lilith's appearance, I shook my head helplessly and could only go to the side and cover her with the blanket.
"Leon...you big pervert..."
This face, which lacks any ladylike qualities...
"You're still not letting yourself go even in your dreams."
Since you're calling me a pervert, why don't you just start groping her breasts?
"No... never mind."
I tidied her pajamas a little before covering her with a blanket.
After working up a good sweat during my morning run, I went to the washroom and took a nice shower. I have to say, after exercising, it feels really refreshing to have hot water on your body.
After washing the clothes I've taken off, I'll use wind magic combined with fire magic to create hot air, so the wet clothes will be wearable in no time.
Overall, magic does indeed save a lot of trouble.
Next, I went to the hotel restaurant, ordered a bread and a beer, and originally planned to invite Lilith over.
However, seeing that silly face that called me a pervert, I decided to let it go. She's not the kind of idiot who would starve if she didn't have money. Even without me, she would still run to other people's tables to freeload.
"ah……"
A hot beer is really refreshing. Before I knew it, beer had become my most loyal companion. The bubbles bursting in my stomach and then producing a cheerful and loud burp is just wonderful.
However, bread and beer don't really go well together, but I really didn't know what to eat. When faced with a menu full of words, I actually developed a kind of decision paralysis, even though my budget allowed it.
After breakfast, I went to the stables at the back, where another companion was waiting for me to eat.
The hay was picked up with a fork and placed in the manger, thus giving birth to a new profession: "弼马温" (Bimawen, meaning "弼马温" in Chinese).
Once the horses have eaten and drunk their fill, then today's work will begin.
The commission I took on yesterday to deal with the fraudster was delayed due to some matters, but it won't be too late to go today.
After driving the carriage out of Kylorans, I arrived at the spot from yesterday. Although I didn't know if the Deceitful Flower would still be waiting for me to obediently pluck its leaves, there was no new information.
After securing the carriage, I ducked into the bushes. Although I had never seen the Deceptive Flower before, I figured that if I recklessly ventured into their territory, it would surely appear.
rustle……
Sure enough, as soon as we entered the woods, we heard a rustling sound coming from not far away, the sound of something moving close to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, I saw the ground in front of me begin to bulge upwards, forming a mound, and then a strangely shaped plant sprouted from the soil.
Although it jumped out suddenly, it still took root in the ground.
This is what's called a deceptive flower. Judging from its size, it's a head taller than me, with an ordinary-looking flower drooping at the very top. This must be the deceptive flower's best disguise.
Its lower body consists of thick rhizomes, from which two enormous leaves are attached, waving like arms.
"Is this just a scam to get money from people?"
Honestly, my impression of it is that it's ugly. Of all the monsters I've ever seen, the Deceitful Flower is undoubtedly the ugliest.
The intelligence report states that fire magic should be avoided as it will damage the leaves of the Deception Flower, thus reducing its market value.
In this world, the leaves of the flower seem to serve as a delicious vegetable, even though the origin of this is not understood.
But would anyone actually eat something like that? I certainly couldn't bring myself to do it.
While I was lost in thought, the trickster flower had already begun its operation. For a child who had so rashly appeared in the forest so early in the morning, it was undoubtedly destined to be breakfast.
Despite moving close to the ground, it is by no means slow.
In the blink of an eye, it was in front of me, waving its leaves and throwing them at me.
