She was wearing full-body stockings that accentuated her figure, with only the chest area barely covered by a short vest and shorts that exposed her thighs.
Her long, fiery red hair seemed to be ablaze, complemented by fierce eyes and sharp jawline.
Judging by her entrance into the school uniform store, she was probably the same age as Karen.
It was the first time Karen had seen her.
Approaching cautiously, Karen could tell that she seemed to be encountering her for the first time as well.
Maya tilted her head curiously and asked, "Who are you?"
Her tone was cold and blunt.
However, there was no sense of dismissal or guardedness in her words.
She was merely asking out of curiosity.
Oddly enough, Karen found herself liking Maya's demeanor.
She nervously replied, trying to steady her voice, "Me? I-I'm Karen… And you?"
"Maya."
