Ya Ya was like that.
And so was the white-haired monster in the Maple Tree.
They both looked like human girls.
But one was a little girl.
And the other was a young woman.
But Little Fox wasn't...
Little Fox was just Little Fox.
He didn't look anything like a human.
And it seemed...
He couldn't talk, either.
He thought about it. He didn't think he'd ever heard Little Fox speak human words.
So...
How could Little Fox, who didn't look human and couldn't speak human language, be a monster?
The more the boy talked, the more convinced he sounded, and his voice grew a little louder.
"Pfft~"
Xiao Xiao could barely hold back a laugh.
"In your eyes, do all monsters look like Ya Ya and Spirit Maple?"
Were there only humanoid monsters?
And no animal-like ones?
"Don't they?"
The boy looked confused.
All the ones he'd seen looked like that.
"You've only seen Ya Ya and Spirit Maple, right?"
Xiao Xiao's lips curved.
Didn't the boy think his sample size was a little too small?
The boy blinked.
"Yeah."
"Then how can you be sure that Ya Ya and Spirit Maple are typical monsters, rather than exceptions?"
Xiao Xiao smiled.

Ya Ya and Spirit Maple really were exceptions.
Monsters came in all shapes and sizes.
There weren't many monsters whose appearance resembled that of humans...
Ah...
The boy froze.
Right, right.
He hadn't seen many monsters.
So far, the only monsters he'd seen were Ya Ya and her kind, and this white-haired monster girl.
The boy quickly glanced at the quiet white-haired monster girl in the tree.
So how could he be sure... that all monsters looked as human-like as Ya Ya and her kind?
Actually,
