Kitahara Kaede immediately admitted his mistake.
"I don't even know what a Stone Beast is. Tell me, and I'll go find one for you!"
Ōtsutsuki Piao raised an eyebrow.
"Oh, is that so? Well, I'm not in a hurry anyway, so let's talk about the second matter."
They were already onto the second matter so quickly?

Seeing Kitahara Kaede nod so casually, Ōtsutsuki Piao smiled happily as well.
