The Smiling Death
Chapter 581: Bad Amon...
Amon stared at her for a moment before blinking several times. Then, a wide grin spread across his face.
"Really?! Your father has four wives?!"
"Yes..." Aisha replied, narrowing her eyes at him. "And why do you look so pleased about that?"
"Well, I mean... don’t you find it strange? Your father having multiple wives?"
Aisha frowned in confusion.
"What’s so strange about it? Isn’t it normal for a clan leader, noble, or powerful man to have multiple partners? It’s very common among Beastman clans."
"Wow!"
Amon’s eyes practically sparkled.
Aisha stared at him as though he had suddenly grown another head.
"Why are you getting so excited? Besides, even powerful women nowadays can have multiple husbands. Though it’s rare. Not many men or women actually choose to do it."
Amon’s expression turned awkward for a moment before quickly returning to normal.
"Why?"
"We Beastmen place great importance on having many children. That’s one of the main reasons clan leaders traditionally have multiple wives." Aisha shrugged. "But there’s usually no particular need for women to have multiple husbands."
"Yeah, I understand the logic."
Amon nodded thoughtfully before turning toward her.
"Dear Aisha, if you ever become the clan leader, don’t take multiple spouses. Just have one husband, okay?"
Aisha looked at him strangely but eventually nodded.
"Sure. I won’t... Why would I? I don’t even like that idea."
Amon’s face immediately brightened.
Aisha noticed his reaction and narrowed her eyes. Then, suddenly, a memory flashed through her mind.
His previous words.
The way he had jokingly talked about making her his wife.
About becoming part of his harem.
"You..."
Amon blinked.
"What?"
Aisha pointed a finger at him, her expression becoming serious.
"Don’t you dare try to take me into your harem or anything!"
Amon stared at the wolf woman for a moment.
Then a mischievous smirk slowly appeared on his face.
"Oh my~ Are you sure you don’t want to become mine?"
"The hell?! Definitely not! Besides, you already have Scarlett! And I don’t think she’ll exactly be happy about this idea."
Amon decided that changing the subject would be the safest option.
"Hmm, true. But who knows what will happen in the future?" He shrugged. "Anyway, Scarlett has already left to go back home."
"Why? She left earlier than expected?" Her attention was moved from harem part to Scarlett very fast.
"Yeah. She had something very important to take care of, so she had to leave sooner than planned." Amon spoke while remembering her departure.
’Well, I gave her my artifact, so she will be back once she reach her home.’ He thought while talking to her.
"I see." Aisha nodded.
Then she glanced at him from the corner of her eyes. "So... you’re going to miss her a lot?" She already has seen how much of clingy guy Amon was with Scarlett. And even she didn’t mind that. Rather it appeared she loves it.
Amon looked at her and let out a tired sigh. "Yes..." His shoulders slumped dramatically. "Now I have to spend the next few days without her."
He slowly shifted closer to Aisha. "I’m already missing her..." he muttered dramatically. "If only there were someone kind enough to lend me their shoulder to rest on."
Before Aisha could react, Amon leaned toward her and gently rested his head against her shoulder.
Aisha froze. Her eyes remained fixed ahead for several seconds. Then she slowly turned her head and looked at him.
A faint pink shade spread across her cheeks.
"Hey! What are you doing?"
Amon didn’t answer. Instead he started to act.
"Sniff... sniff..."
He deliberately made a pitiful crying sound. "I’m suddenly feeling very sad..."
"Don’t lie!" Aisha immediately snapped. "And stop sniffing, bastard! I’m all sweaty from training! I smell like sweat!!"
"So what?" Amon replied casually. "When did I ever say I hated it?"
He rested his head more comfortably against her shoulder. "In fact, this is proof of how hard you’ve been working."
Aisha’s fluffy tail immediately began wagging furiously behind her. Her face turned even redder.
"You pervert!"
She abruptly stepped away from him.
Amon’s head slipped off her shoulder, causing him to lose his balance.
"Whoa!"
He nearly fell over, but quickly planted one hand against the floor and caught himself.
He looked up.
Aisha was standing several steps away, glaring at him with flushed cheeks and embarrassment written all over her face.
Amon stood back up. Even after straightening himself, he was still noticeably shorter than Aisha. Yet, strangely enough, their appearances had completely reversed.
Amon stood there with a mischievous grin plastered across his face, his eyes gleaming with playful intent.
He looked like a predator preparing to pounce on its prey.
Meanwhile, Aisha looked like a frightened mouse desperately trying to escape from a particularly troublesome cat.
Amon took one step forward.
Aisha immediately took one step backward.
He took another. She retreated another step. Her expression became increasingly wary.
"Stop right there."
She raised her palm toward him.
"And don’t you dare come any closer!"
Amon tilted his head innocently.
"Hehe~ I have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about."
"Don’t you dare—"
Suddenly, Amon dashed toward her.
Aisha’s eyes widened.
"Eh?!"
She immediately turned around and ran. "Bastard! Stay away from me!"
"Why would I?" Amon shouted back, bursting into laughter.
"Hahaha!"
He chased after her around the training hall like a maniac. Aisha sprinted across the floor, her black-and-red tail flying wildly behind her.
"Stop chasing me!" She yelled while running.
"Come back here!" While Amon didn’t listen to her.
"Why would I?!" Aisha was getting chase by this crazy man for second time. But good thing was that Seraphina and Aisha were not present to capture her.
She suddenly changed direction, hoping to throw him off.
But Amon followed without hesitation.
"Damn it!"
Aisha spotted the entrance and immediately rushed toward it.
If she could just get outside, she would be safe from this lunatic.
She reached the doorway and abruptly stopped.
Someone had just entered the training hall.
A woman wearing academy training clothes stood in the doorway. Her long golden-blonde hair was tied neatly into a ponytail, and her golden eyes were directed toward Aisha.
Aisha froze at suddenly entry of the person. She thought that maybe once again she would get caught by Seraphina. But her reaction was not like how Aisha had expected.
Amon, who had been running directly behind her, also came to an abrupt halt. For a moment, neither of them said anything. Then Amon’s eyes met the woman’s golden gaze.
The woman’s eyes widened. Her entire face immediately turned bright red.
"A-Amon..."
It was Seraphina. Her voice came out as a nervous, almost breathless stutter.
Amon blinked.
Aisha blinked.
The three of them stared at one another. A strange silence descended over the training hall.
Aisha slowly turned her head toward Amon. He slowly turned his head toward Aisha. Then both of them looked back at Seraphina.
Seraphina’s flushed face only became redder. For some reason, seeing Amon chasing Aisha around the training hall was already embarrassing enough.
But the moment she remembered what had happened between her and Amon earlier that day, her heart began pounding even faster.
’Why... why did I have to walk in at this exact moment?!’ Seraphina thought.
Meanwhile, Amon had absolutely no idea what was going through her mind.
He simply stared at her in confusion.
"Sera?"
Seraphina immediately looked away.
"Y-yes?"
Aisha’s eyes narrowed slightly. Something about Seraphina’s reaction seemed... strange and Amon noticed it too.
’She’s blushing again.’
He tilted his head.
Meanwhile, Seraphina continued staring at Amon for a few seconds. Then her gaze shifted toward Aisha. She looked back at Amon.
Then at Aisha again. Her cheeks, which had been bright red moments ago, gradually returned to their normal color.
A slight frown appeared on her face. "What... were you two doing?" Her voice carried a faintly cold tone.
Amon blinked before giving her an innocent smile. "Nothing. We were just playing around. I was chasing her while she was running away from me."
"Hey! We were not playing!" Aisha immediately snapped back. "You pervert suddenly started chasing me around!"
Amon looked away and began whistling innocently. "I was just teasing you. Don’t go around calling me a pervert."
Aisha’s eyes twitched. "That’s exactly what a pervert would say!"
Amon ignored her. However, Seraphina’s expression had already become increasingly displeased. Her golden eyes narrowed as she stared at Amon.
"Bad Amon."
Amon’s smile froze.
"Playboy Amon."
His eyebrow twitched.
"Womanizer Amon."
"Eh?"
Amon slowly turned toward her.
Seraphina folded her arms and continued glaring at him.
"You confessed to me yesterday, and now you’re already flirting with Aisha."
Absolute silence descended between them.
Aisha’s ears perked up. Her eyes slowly widened as she looked between the two of them.
’Confessed?!’
Amon stared at Seraphina. Seraphina stared back at him with an expression that clearly said she wasn’t joking.
Now Amon found himself completely speechless between two girls.
