But that is her own illusion. It was tempting, but it was nonsense. He was simply saying courtesy words to comfort her.

"Thank you."

She tried to speak calmly as if nothing had happened. Fortunately, Anna's voice did not tremble and came out normally.

"How old is Anna?"

"Yes?"

Anna was a little taken aback by Lucino's question.

"Why? Was that an inappropriate question for Lady?"

Lucino laughed, winking with one eye. The playful winking Lucino was cute.

"Well, isn't it rude to ask someone' age? I think it's a very personal question."

She remembered hearing somewhere that foreigners didn't like to ask questions about their age. Anna had believed that asking overly personal questions about someone's privacy was something to be avoided.

"It's true but among friends, you can ask about anything. And even if we're not exactly friends, it's still possible to ask. We're not complete strangers, after all, as we've just met not long ago, and it's not like you're asking me out of the blue."

"Aha, I see. Then how old is Lucino?"

"How old do you think you are?"

"I do not know."

No matter how much she looked, she couldn't guess the ages of Western people.

"I'm twenty-seven."

"Omg! Really?"

Startled, Anna's eyes widened and her jaw dropped.

"Yes. Why are you so surprised?"

"No, just..."

She didn't know he was younger than her. She expected him to be over 30.

"Do I look that old?"

"No! Not at all."

She just guessed that he must be over 30 due to his relaxed attitude, mature atmosphere, and manners.

Because of his beautiful appearance, trivial things like his age did not even come to mind and were difficult to guess.

"So, what about Anna?"

"How old do you think I am, Lucino?"

"Oh, this is a foul. You're repeating my questions the same way."

He shook his head with an expression of admiration.

"So?"

Anna shrugged her shoulders and smiled.

Lucino, who was tapping his cleft chin with his long index finger and looking at Anna with eyes that appraised her as if she were a work of art, finally opened his lips.

"Well. You look very young, maybe twenty-two or twenty-three?"

Anna gasped in surprise at the unexpected answer.

"I'm not that young."

"How old are you? I can't guess the age of an Asian person."

"Well, it's a lot more than Lucino said..."
