Without any curved paths, up on a long flight of stairs, past the
threshold, they arrived at in the courtyard of the shrine. There, Tatsuya
abruptly noticed a pair of eyes gazing this way.
This was not an impolite gaze stalking them, but a pair of peeping
eyes that occasionally glanced this way.
"Shiba-kun, is something up?"
"No."
"I gather the foreigners are rather curious about Tatsuya's wardrobe."
Despite the disguise, there was no way to escape Yakumo's eyes. Even
Tatsuya discovered the source without using Elemental Sight and,
excluding Haruka for the moment, it was guaranteed that Yakumo
would notice.
The "foreigner" Yakumo spoke of was a model young woman with
blonde hair and blue eyes. Still, in this day and age, just this alone
may be insufficient to determine foreign ancestry. Nevertheless, that
young woman's features gave a hint of Japanese descent.
Her age was roughly the same as Tatsuya. After taking into account
the differences between white and Asian peoples, the differential
would be slight, Tatsuya thought.
"Onii-sama, what are you looking at?"
While Tatsuya only observed the young lady for less than a second,
this was enough to rouse Miyuki's attention.
Following her brother's gaze, her eyes glinted as an "Oh" passed her
lips
"......What a beautiful child."
Miyuki softly expressed her internal thoughts.
In Miyuki's eyes, that young woman was a gorgeous young lady who
fully deserved the description "beautiful".
Her hair and eyes were both brilliant in color. On some level, she had
the features that rivaled even Miyuki herself.
