Kusanagi Kodo was a little shocked!
Or rather, he was stunned. He hadn't expected to see an Asian face in this foreign land.
Moreover, this was a man with exceptionally handsome features and an elegant aura!
His face was handsome, his phoenix eyes sharp.
Not only was he beautiful, but his aura was also carefree and unrestrained, with a hint of mystery and detachment, definitely the type to make you fall for him at first sight.
Even Kusanagi, a guy himself, was awestruck by his handsomeness, let alone the women around him.
If he were a woman, he would probably be fascinated by him too.
A glance～
“?!”
Normally, in this situation.
Under normal circumstances, Kusanagi would discreetly act like a passerby, or stand aside as a spectator.
After all, he knew his own situation. Though his appearance and height were passable in Japan, he was just an average face compared to this guy. Besides, he was just a normal Japanese student.
So, in such a situation, Kusanagi naturally made way with his luggage and avoided the crowd, standing in a corner.
However, to his surprise, as he was watching the spectacle as a passerby, the handsome young man glanced at him as he approached a luxury car.
That glance instantly gave Kusanagi a jolt, making him feel half-frozen.
It was as if he was carrying a mountain on his back, without a sound!
“???”
The next second, as he was feeling bewildered, the man turned his gaze away and got into the car, driving off.
“Whew～Is he some big shot? He just glanced at me, why does he give me so much pressure?”
After the handsome man left, the surrounding crowd naturally dispersed, leaving Kusanagi standing alone on the road, puzzled.
He didn't know why, but he felt like he had fallen into an ice cave for a moment.
If it weren't for the man only glancing at him, if he had looked at him for a little longer, Kusanagi felt he would have collapsed to the ground.
It wasn't that he was cowardly, but the man's oppressive aura was too strong, as if they were from two different worlds!
Thankfully, the man was gone, and they probably wouldn't have any further interaction, right?
Leaning against a wall, Kusanagi calmed his breathing and calmed his mind. With his inconspicuous appearance, he blended into the crowd and left with his luggage.
Sometimes he admired the local scenery, sometimes he took out his map and asked passersby for directions. He walked for a while without knowing how long it had been.
In Japan, European tourists would not hesitate to ask Japanese people for directions. He learned from that, but tried to pick people who looked idle, so that he was less likely to bother them.
Although the local language was not English, he could roughly understand what they meant just by using the map and gestures.
Kusanagi, who wanted to see the sea first, headed towards the port of Cagliari.
On the narrow streets, washed clothes hung everywhere.
Seeing this peaceful scene, Kusanagi's mood relaxed, and he reached the large church, the square where Tama Church stood.
He strolled around there for a while before leaving this beautiful square.
From here, you could see the port of Cagliari and the beautiful, emerald-green sea.
He couldn't see such a beautiful sea in Tokyo, so Kusanagi's heart naturally filled with excitement, and his pace quickened.
He ran down a street, hurriedly towards the sea.
As Kusanagi strolled along the beach, he encountered a familiar… no, a somewhat unfamiliar figure.
A handsome young man was standing against the wall of a building that looked like a warehouse, blowing the sea breeze and gazing at the distant sea, giving him a very strange and breathtaking feeling.
How to describe it? Like a painting?
It's him?!
Kusanagi didn't expect to encounter him again after thinking they wouldn't have any more interaction. After wandering around the town, he encountered him again!
“Konnichiwa.”
“???”
“Ni hao.”
“…”
“Hello?”
“…”
A nod～
After trying three languages, the man finally understood.
But the handsome man, gazing at the sea, only nodded slightly at him and continued to appreciate the vast ocean scenery.
Was he here to see the sea too?
Because of the language barrier, Kusanagi only greeted him and didn't say much. He found a spot to watch the sea as well, his mind filled with random thoughts.
So, he wasn't flawless either. He couldn't speak foreign languages either, just like him.
Thinking about this, Kusanagi felt much better.
They had met by chance. Although he was good at socializing and talking, he couldn't do anything with the language barrier, so they could only look at the sea individually.
Besides, the handsome man didn't pay any attention to him, so Kusanagi didn't try to be overly friendly. After all, they were just strangers who had met twice.
Until a while later, the sky gradually darkened.
As the sun set, they both left the beach and returned to the town.
But as they returned, one after the other, they didn't seem to notice the shadow in front of them.
Or rather, they noticed but didn't pay attention, until —
【Excuse me, I'm so sorry for interrupting you while you're walking there. I have something I'd like to ask.】(Italian)
The person spoke in Italian, so Kusanagi was naturally confused and couldn't understand at all. But although he didn't understand everything, he was attracted by the girl who appeared at this moment.
