What sort of place had he stumbled upon? Lith wondered and looked at the lady with slashed eyes.
Just a moment ago, he was in a desolate place near the gate, and after entering it, saw everything around him to be pink, then a shrine, a shrine maiden, and now this lady walking up to him.
Was he perhaps a lady magnet? Were his charms so good that he attracted ladies by his mere presence? Crazy. It was all quite crazy.
'Cough… come down to earth…'
Lith may be shameless, but he wasn't a narcissist. He humbled himself fast and continued to stare at the girl.
"Listen closely to what I am about to say," the girl said. "That shrine maiden there is not a real person."
Lith was flabbergasted. He raised his eyebrows and looked at the shrine maiden. "That person's not real?"
"No." The lady said flatly. "You were about to go say hello to her, and to your greeting, she would've taken you inside the shrine and offered tea."
