Qiao Sang hesitated. "I don't know how to put it. I just feel like it doesn't feel anything like an ordinary Mechanical Type pet beast."
As she spoke, she asked, "And its beast tamer—when you met her today, did you find anything strange about her?"

Little Seeker recalled the encounter after hearing its beast tamer's words, then shook its head and called out, indicating that it hadn't noticed anything strange.
It didn't notice anything... Qiao Sang fell into thought once more.
Then, a scene suddenly flashed through her mind.
