“I almost couldn’t recognize you. Why did you change your face when you’re just staying at home?” Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
Roberto led Hesper over. “Hesper isn’t going to do anything to you. There’s no need to be so careful.
I’ve told you that you should make more friends.”
It was a disguise.
Hesper quietly observed the man and couldn’t see anything unnatural with his face. She was amazed.
If she really managed to change her face, Matthew probably wouldn’t be able to
recognize her even if he walked past her.
“Hesper, right?” The man looked toward her and observed, his calm eyes looking warm. “Such a
beauty.”
The man spoke Halwanese when he said that, so Roberto didn’t really understand. He stared at the
both of them curiously. “What did you say? You know I don’t speak Halwanese that well.”
Roberto sounded sad when he said that. Stephen looked over, then nodded at Hesper. “You, come with
me.”
Hesper turned to look at Roberto, who nodded at her. “Even though he’s a little weird, he always keeps
his promise, so don’t worry. I’ll be here waiting for you.”
“…Alright.”
Hesper was a little embarrassed because Roberto said that in front of him, and that was the first time
she met Stephen. However, she still left with Stephen.
“Hesper?”
Hearing the man call her name, she nodded. “Yes, that’s me.”
Stephen and Hesper walked inside and he motioned her to sit down in front of the mirror. He took a
good look at her face then his eyes smiled.
“You’re really pretty.”
“…” Hesper didn’t know if all the people with unique skills had unique personalities, but Roberto had
warned her when they were on the way there, so she was prepared.
“I know why you’re here. Tell me how you want to change your face.”
Before she replied, Stephen put on surgical gloves and raised her chin with a finger and mumbled,
Changing this face would be such a waste.”
Hesper could tell that he was giving her a compliment, but from his tone of voice, Hesper felt creeped
out. It sounded like she was a work of art instead of an actual person.
“I want to look ordinary, like someone you can’t pick out of a crowd.”
“Oh…” Stephen sighed and looked confused. “People who come see me would usually want me to
transform a less than perfect face into a beautiful one. Why are you different?”
Hesper was silent for a moment. “I need a convenient face because being too outstanding
doesn’t help.
“Oh. His voice trailed but quickly came back.
“Close your eyes.”
Hesper did as she was told.
