Just as one would expect from an amusement park.

"...A monster?"

Chi Xiuchuan practically whispered the word.

But both Xiao Xiao and Chi Xiuke heard him clearly.

Chi Xiuke's eyes widened.

A-a monster!?

She abruptly looked at Master Xiao.

R-really?!

Xiao Xiao nodded.

He looked somewhat languid and nonchalant.

Yet his hands never stopped moving.

He gently stroked Little White Fox's fur, again and again.

Wow~

Chi Xiuke's mouth fell open slightly.

She and her brother exchanged looks.

They could both see surprise and disbelief on each other's faces.

So it really was a monster...

"Those two kids can see... monsters?"

Chi Xiuchuan suddenly realized something that should have been obvious.

"Oh, right."

Chi Xiuke only just caught on, too.

"Of course."

Xiao Xiao nodded.

Chi Xiuchuan and Chi Xiuke nodded, still looking a little dazed.

"...I never noticed..."

Chi Xiuchuan murmured.

"Me neither."

Chi Xiuke pressed her lips together.

Those twins...

They hadn't been looking at A Jiu all along...

They'd been looking at another monster...?

"...Wow."

Chi Xiuke wasn't sure if she should blame herself for being so slow on the uptake.

After all, as someone who couldn't see monsters, was it really fair to expect her to figure out whether someone was looking at a monster or an ordinary animal?

"Their parents can't see it?"

Chi Xiuchuan felt like he was beginning to understand what Master Xiao had in mind.

"Mm."

Xiao Xiao nodded.

"Only those two kids can."

"Oh."

Chi Xiuke suddenly understood. "Master Xiao, you didn't want to..."

She tilted her head. "Have the kids do anything strange..."

"...and make their parents worry for no reason..."

There was often only a hair's breadth between being different and being strange.

People could accept someone
