Kasahara Fumi grew increasingly astonished as she observed.
The lifelike delineations and portrayal of lips on the mask, with black pupils set into the eye sockets and luscious red lips. She held her breath, nearly touching the mask with her nose when the mask's large dark eyeballs suddenly rotated from bottom to top, and the flesh of the lower lip puffed up as well, almost bringing Kasahara Fumi into a kiss with it.
"Ah!"
Kasahara Fumi screamed, quickly pulling her face away.
"What's wrong?" Fujiwara Reya immediately asked.
When Kasahara Fumi looked at the mask again, she realized it was utterly lifeless, something even a child would know is fake.
"N-no problem..." she steadied her expression.
"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Mrs. Tanemura asked with a smile.
Kasahara Fumi silently nodded.
