The Trade (3)

Gio's eyes immediately left the equally shocked red-haired witch. Sofony was only frozen there for a moment. Thinking of who the other party was and how fragile non-hosts usually were in front of those at the mid-levels and above, she hurriedly left her seat and jumped in front of Gio. 

The man saw the deep fright and worry in her eyes. That time, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The short-haired woman wearing a simple shirt and denim pants wanted to hug him, but hesitated. She must have been put self-conscious of her appearance. This was the reason why the man almost laughed. Sofony didn't know but even though she looked different due to her disguise, he knew it was her. 

The pet ghost inside the coin didn't have to tell him for him to know. 

'No matter if it's the present or the future, she always uses this disguise...' 

"Who are you?" The lady dressed like a typical B Empire royal woman asked in a hostile voice.
