To say Xie Chuchu didn't believe it...
would be wrong.
Rather, she didn't dare believe it.
Really?
Monsters actually existed?
A monster...
There were actually monsters in the world?
After learning that this was possible, she even felt that the world looked a little different to her.
"...It really was a monster?"
Xie Chuchu's mouth opened and closed for a long while before she finally asked.
They hadn't lied to her, had they?
How could monsters exist in the world?
How could they...
It wasn't possible...
Her mind was a complete mess.
"Chuchu."
Chi Xiuke took her friend's hand.
She understood her friend's disbelief and incredulity.
If she hadn't experienced it herself, she wouldn't have been able to accept this shocking information so quickly, either.
"We're here."
Xiao Xiao reminded the two girls.
Huh?
Xie Chuchu instinctively looked up.
Then she realized...
"We're at school already?!"
So soon?!
They hadn't even taken a taxi?!
They'd walked all the way back to school?!
Had they really talked for that long?
But she clearly felt they hadn't said all that much...
She was still completely confused.
Chi Xiuke was also a little surprised.
As expected...
When you focused on something, your sense of time became much duller.
"Wait."
Xie Chuchu stopped.
"Let's not go back to school yet."
There were still so many things she hadn't figured out.
Xie Chuchu walked toward the big tree nearby.
Chi Xiuke gave Master Xiao an apologetic smile.
She'd guessed how her friend would react from the start.
So she was a little surprised that Master Xiao was willing to tell her friend the truth.
But later, she thought she understood why.
Because Chuchu had been one of the people in the know from the beginning.
