It was clearly a male body, yet the soul inside was female.
Possession? Ghostly possession? A body swap?
Rita felt it was more likely the last one—a body swap...
Still, Japan seemed to have plenty of TV dramas about body swaps. Rita knew of several herself, and she had no idea whether the boy before her was from one of them.
Honestly, when it came to male leads in anime and film... Rita felt they all looked alike, perfectly ordinary... Unless they had an exceptionally distinctive appearance, she probably would not recognize them even if they stood right in front of her, only finding them vaguely familiar.
Like this one before her—he had the face of a background character in Rita's eyes.
But it did not seem right to say she was face-blind either...
She could recognize those female leads at a glance, for the most part.
"My name is Rita. I'm from England... What's your name?"
After the waiter had served the coffee, desserts, and fruit, Rita speared a piece of dragon fruit with her fork and put it into her mouth, continuing to question the boy across from her.
"England?"
The boy took a sip of coffee from his spoon, and his expression immediately changed... It was so bitter!
But upon hearing Rita's introduction, he could not help being surprised. He had only come to Tokyo Metropolis by chance, and he had never been anywhere else. He had always lived in a small rural town deep in the mountains, let alone gone abroad!
"Mm, now it's your turn to introduce yourself!"
Rita nodded and smiled at him.
In Japan, introductions like this were an essential courtesy. Since she had introduced herself... it would be far too rude for him to ignore her.
"My name is... Miyamizu Mi... Mi..."
