Earlier, Ah Man had narrowly escaped death and appeared suddenly in front of Nozawa, which took up most of his attention. Now that the girl was gently asking questions, Nozawa finally had the leisure to look at her closely.
She wore a deep blue, slightly worn kosode, with a black head scarf (a kind of windproof scarf that ties tight around hair and neck, also called a Gotego Scarf). Several strands of her jet-black hair mischievously peeked out from under the scarf onto her smooth forehead, making her oval face look even more delicate and refined.
Her features were delicate, with fine brows like painted with indigo, curved almond eyes, a straight and pretty nose. Now she was looking up and smiling, with a playfulness but also a touch of a young maiden's charm—a little beauty, not losing out to A Qing at all.
