Shock, doubt, bewilderment... these emotions beautifully mixed on Aoto's face.
Under the bamboo hat was a rather beautiful face.
This woman was a great beauty, at most just in her early twenties.
Logically speaking, upon seeing such a stunning beauty, Aoto wouldn't show any overly surprised expression.
Aoto was more or less surrounded by beauties.
After successively befriending Elodie, Mukiwa, and Sazanoko, all of whom had breathtaking appearances, Aoto now had a high threshold for the attribute of "beauty."
The reason Aoto was showing this reaction and expression at this moment was purely because the woman's appearance was... too "unbelievable."
Long eyelashes, big and bright eyes, a delicate mouth and nose, rosy and small lips—all her features, when taken individually, were flawless, and combined, they seemed even more perfect.
The woman's unbelievably beautiful face was almost identical to a face Aoto was very familiar with.
"Mr. Chokata...?"
