For the monsters Xiao Xiao had never seen, the Monster Compendium offered no way to look them up.
Back when he had first discovered the Monster Compendium, he had no other choice.
But now he had another option.
If the Monster Compendium couldn't tell him something, A Yu could.
What surprised Xiao Xiao, though, was that the Monster Compendium had no record of the Twin Flowers.
"My Lord, you are the first enforcer to discover them."
A Yu's usually even voice wavered ever so slightly.
It seemed quite pleased that Xiao Xiao had found a new monster.
Xiao Xiao: ...
Really?
So there were monsters that none of the previous enforcers had ever seen.
"I don't know."
Hundred Illusions Butterfly's answer was rather irresponsible.
Seeing Xiao Xiao's speechless expression, Hundred Illusions Butterfly flapped its wings.
The beautiful patterns on its wings gleamed in the sunlight.
"But if they're connected to those two... it probably won't be anything good."
"The Twin Flowers are very self-centered monsters."
"They only have eyes for each other."
"They don't care whether anyone else lives or dies."
"Though most monsters are more or less the same."
"They're just especially bad about it."
Xiao Xiao stopped rubbing the side of his teacup.
It sounded... like a bad situation.
"Hundred Illusions Butterfly, you've encountered the Twin Flowers before."
Xiao Xiao stated it as a fact.
Hundred Illusions Butterfly hadn't tried to hide it.
Just as he thought.
Hundred Illusions Butterfly nodded.
"That was a long time ago."
A hint of displeasure crept into Hundred Illusions Butterfly's lazy tone.
"Those nasty things."
"Can you tell me what happened?"
Xiao Xiao was a little curious.
He also wanted to get a sense of what the Twin Flowers were like from Hundred Illusions Butterfly's experience.
