Following in Silence
Seconds later, the girl remained silent. Perhaps she was too shocked that I recognized her just through her voice and the lower half of her face or there was another reason. In any case, without getting any answer from her, we’re getting nowhere.
Looking around, we’re starting to gather some attention from the passersby. If she took off her sunglasses and exposed her entire face, her fans would definitely recognize her.
Besides, even her bonnet wasn’t able to hide all of her hair. Now that I was this close to her, the shoulder-length, luscious light pink hair spilled from beneath it and flowed inside the thick coat she was wearing.
That’s another detail that confirmed her identity. Even if she refused to openly acknowledge her identity, what I saw was enough to be convinced that this badly disguised girl was none other than the rising star, Mabushisa Asahi.
Two minutes of silence later, I grabbed her wrist, stood up, picked up the bags I put down and dragged her with me.
