Chapter 5.20

Persia quickly activated her device and showed me a picture of a black-haired, red-eyed boy playing card games with a blonde girl with light blue eyes. The blonde girl was grinning towards the boy's troubled expression when she picked a card from his side.

“……Who the heck is this…?” I inadvertently murmured with my brows raised in undisguised wonder.

Which, I showed Persia my picture when I was little. It was a picture of me playing with little Ruby in her cat form when I was eight.

As expected, aside from the black hair and red eyes like she told me— our faces looked entirely different. It was two different people.

Though it might be weird of me to say this, but I think that guy looks brighter and cuter.

Somehow, when Persia looked at my picture— she was genuinely shocked with a look of disbelief.

"When… was this taken…?" She asked with a shaky voice.

Looks like she's still trying to struggle.
