"Ichinose..."
Seeing Ichinose Honami actually blush as if she were embarrassed, Shiranami Chihiro looked as though she had witnessed something unbelievable, and her expression grew somewhat pained.
Immediately afterward, Shiranami Chihiro looked at Fang Li with not only wariness in her eyes, but hostility as well.

Therefore, Ichinose Honami's shy expression
