With a cringe-worthy look on his face, the man took a step back, quickly rubbing his shirt as if trying to rid himself of some unseen contamination.
"Eww, a human!" he exclaimed in disgust. "Where do you think you're going?"
Aiyu's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Huh, ew? Aren't you a human too?"
she retorted, her voice dripping with sarcasm.
"And what a fine specimen of creepiness you are! How dare you call me ew? You're the ewww!"
Rolling his eyes in annoyance, the man made a swift motion with his arm and disappeared into thin air, leaving Aiyu in a state of shock. She pinched her arm, feeling the pain. "Ouch, ouch!" she exclaimed. "It's not a dream?!"
"Ah, so you've finally awakened," a melodious voice with a touch of masculinity chimed from behind her. Turning around, she found yet another enigmatic figure.
Aiyu's mind wandered as she took in his appearance - his obsidian hair cascading in layers, meticulously parted to the left, his sun-kissed complexion, and his warm, chestnut eyes that offered her a tender smile.
Unlike the previous encounter, this man exuded an air of refinement and courtesy. Draped in a resplendent crimson uniform, adorned with a delicate blue ribbon, he epitomized elegance.
A formal black shirt, embellished with glistening golden buttons, was neatly tucked into his trousers. A pristine white tie, secured with a gleaming tiepin, completed his ensemble. Every detail of his attire exuded professionalism and sophistication.
