[Pulchritudo]
"I am called Goiim." The introduction was brief and simple. Spoken with the same strangely even tone she had maintained since the moment Shuten-dōji found her.
Gretel quietly studied the woman.
("So this was the person who had been watching them,") she silently repeated the name in her mind. ("Goiim.")
It was unusual.
Unlike any name Gretel had heard before.
Yet somehow it suited the woman standing before them—beautiful, refined, and unsettling in equal measure. There was no denying her appearance; she was stunning. Everything about her, from the elegance of her attire to the composure with which she carried herself, blended naturally into the noble atmosphere of Pulchritudo. She did not look the type to be hiding atop rooftops; she seemed more like a wealthy aristocrat taking a leisurely afternoon stroll.
