In fact, Saya could be thirty years old by a long shot because she looked so good, even though she was nearing the end of her fourth decade, and the same was true for my women.
- But what will people say? - she splashed her hands.
- Do I care what people think? - For a moment stopped on the path, I turned to my companion. - I don't care about the opinions of the faceless crowd and rumors - let someone risk expressing their opinion to my face," I snorted mockingly to show the likelihood of this event, "especially not so long ago, you fought off my marriage to a young kunoichi.
