Whether rabbits, snakes, or foxes, they were all very small.
But...
The scene that had swiftly and indistinctly flashed before her eyes...
She and that red, single-eyed... were level—
No.
It seemed they weren't level either...
The old woman knocked hard on her own head.
But she was sure it hadn't been a bird's-eye view.
At least, she thought she could confirm that... right?
The old woman's earlier excitement had vanished without a trace.
What use was remembering that the single eye was red?
She knew nothing else...
"But a red single eye is a very distinctive feature."
Xiao Xiao curled the corners of his lips.
The old woman was slightly stunned.
That... was true, too.
A red single eye...
It sounded like something belonging to a villain in a fairy tale.
In real life...
"Could it be a foreigner..."
the old woman murmured.
"Didn't you say it wasn't human?"
Xiao Xiao reminded her.
"Huh?"
The old woman looked utterly confused.
"Did I say that?"
"Mm."
Xiao Xiao nodded.
"You did."
The other's affirmation left the old woman nodding awkwardly.
"Oh."
Then it wasn't a foreigner.
Could it be...
"...a rabbit?"
Or perhaps the snake and fox beside Xiao Xiao also had red eyes...
Completely unaware of this...
The old woman's thoughts returned to where they had started.
"You said they were too small."
Xiao Xiao reminded the old woman again of what she had said earlier.
"Huh?"
The old woman was startled.
"Did I? Did I?"
"Too small?"
"Then... a large animal?"
What large animals had red eyes?
The old woman thought hard.
"If you saw it in this little square..."
Xiao Xiao raised his brows slightly.
"Then the most likely large animal would be a large dog."
