Bab 694: The Mysterious Boy      

The boy sat cross-legged on the uneven ground, his youthful frame mirroring Nori's in both age and height. His sun-kissed skin carried the warm hues of brown, hinting at days spent under the open sky. 

His hair, as dark as the midnight sky, fell in a tousled mess that seemed untouched by any comb. It framed his face, emphasizing the sharp contrast against his complexion. 

His eyes, deep as obsidian, shone with an infectious vitality, a bottomless pool of pure onyx. 

Yet, these orbs held a light within them, a perpetual spark of mischief and amusement that seemed to dance with every word he spoke.

His wide grin was the first thing anyone noticed upon meeting him, a feature that stretched from ear to ear, revealing a row of pearly white teeth. 

The curve of his lips hinted at a perpetual amusement as if he found the world and its complexities endlessly entertaining.
