Nanyo, the border of the forbidden territory, enveloped in light rain.
Two figures stood facing each other.
One, holding a paper umbrella, had a graceful figure and an ethereal, pitiable beauty, as if she were a misty woman who had emerged from the water towns of Jiangnan.
Outside the barrier that separated her from the woman,
a young girl with fluttering black hair looked at her indifferently.
The girl was not particularly tall, petite and adorable, but carried a black spear on her back, its tip stained with blood, exuding a cold, domineering air.
Naturally belonging to the adorable type, coupled with her young features and baby fat, even the teardrop-shaped mole at the corner of her eye did not add a seductive charm.
Instead, it made her look even more adorable, triggering an urge in others to pinch her cheeks.
Yet, it was such a delicate and cute girl who stood there with indifference, in the outer part of the rain-drenched forbidden territory, akin to purgatory on earth.
