"Miss…"
It'd been a while since I last heard that title. While staying at Huashan, it was something I'd never hear.
"…How long has it been?"
Thanks to my youthful appearance from returning to my prime, I could pass as a "miss" on the outside. After all, hardly anyone looks at a young person and thinks, "Could they be a master who's regained their youth?"
"…Is the title 'Miss' uncomfortable for you? If so, I could use something else…"
"No, no. Call me Miss."
No woman dislikes being seen as young. And there was no reason to refuse the title anyway.
"Oh, you asked where I'm going? I'm headed to Anhui to find someone, so I'm hitching a ride. It's not urgent, so stopping in Henan for some business is fine."
"Oh, our schedules overlap then. I'm not looking for anyone, though."
What a coincidence. Who'd have thought I'd meet someone like this on a random carriage ride?
