"Are you saying the little monkey just didn't like Xiao Xiao?"
Little Lemon glanced at Xiao Xiao.
And there wasn't any particular reason, as they'd guessed?
"No."
The boy hurriedly waved his hands.
"Don't get me wrong."
He explained,
"I mean, Xiao Xiao just had the bad luck of being targeted by the little monkey."
"...The way you put it...that's really no different from saying nothing..."
Little Lemon quipped.
"Huh?"
The boy looked completely innocent.
"What else could I say?"
"It's just a matter of bad luck."
Hmm...
They couldn't take this conversation any further.
"This is actually a problem."
The tour guide waved the flag in her hand.
For once, she joined in the students' conversation.
Usually, she and the class monitor discussed the itinerary and activities.
She'd also answer any questions the students had.
Otherwise, the students were lively enough on their own; she didn't need to "add fuel to the fire."
"Not everyone is as capable as this student..."
The guide looked at Xiao Xiao.
Compared to the shock and disbelief she'd felt when she first saw him hold off the little monkey, she'd calmed down a lot by now.
"He's really impressive."
This student wasn't even trained in martial arts.
She'd asked him about that earlier.
When she got the unexpected answer that he wasn't, she'd accepted it on the surface.
But she still had a trace of doubt in her heart.
It wasn't that she genuinely questioned what the students had told her.
After all, although they were just a tour guide and her visitors, there was no reason to hide the truth or lie about something like that, was there?
She was simply so surprised to realize...
That a student with no martial arts training could dodge the fruit
