Book 5: Chapter 53
Dark green smooth dress accentuated Asha’s slender body. Although she had experienced a rather rough journey, her upper arms were white and her skin texture was also delicate.
Her hair was done in an upswept style, showing off her nape. With a slight make-up applied on her face, she looked like a devilish beauty.
It was nothing like the saying “anyone can look good with the right clothes”. Since Asha was already a terrific beauty, wearing make-up made her shine even more.
「-E-Eh, errr… Everyone, thank you for attending the party today.」
It wasn’t just me who was fascinated by Asha, but everyone at the venue as well. Some men had dropped the forks they were holding, and were glared at by their women.

When the mayor announced that he himself was at the scene of subduing Umibozu, cheers erupted among the gathered people.
