The girl said nothing.
She only looked at Xiao Xiao with an expression of confusion.
Qiu Shui Yi Ren had the same question.
Master Xiao's explanation really was a little strange.
Did they have to pay attention to the time when looking for that dancing bird?
What kind of weird condition was that?
"It's not about the time."
Xiao Xiao's words startled the girl.
"Master Xiao, can you read minds?"
The girl couldn't help asking.
"How do you always know what I'm thinking?"
Xiao Xiao smiled but didn't answer her question. Instead, he continued, "It's about the weather."
"The weather?!"
The girl immediately forgot what she'd been wondering about a moment earlier and cried out almost at the same time as Qiu Shui Yi Ren.
The girl thought that whether it was the time or the weather, wasn't it all more or less the same?
Just as strange.
Qiu Shui Yi Ren, however, looked thoughtful.
Often, all it took was a small hint to find the answer.
After all, she'd seen the dancing bird twice.
Speaking of the weather...
"Looks like you've figured it out."
Xiao Xiao's lips curled up slightly, unsurprised.
"Yes..."
Qiu Shui Yi Ren hesitated before speaking. "It has to be a rainy day?"
"Does it only appear when it rains?"
The girl beside her gradually began to understand.
That was right.
During the days she'd accompanied Qiu Shui Yi Ren in looking for that unusual dancer, she remembered that the one time Qiu Shui Yi Ren had said she saw it had indeed been on a rainy day.
And when Qiu Shui Yi Ren told her about the first time she'd seen the dancing bird, she'd also lamented that a sudden downpour had interrupted her search.
Xiao Xiao gave a slight nod. "That's right."
