"Why did you get back so late, too?"
Zhuge Yun remembered that Zhang Bo had sent them a distress message several hours ago.
No way...
Zhuge Yun looked shocked.
"Was your problem that hard to deal with?"
"You only just solved it?"
He looked at Xiao Xiao, uncertain.
Was it that tricky even for Third Brother?
What on earth had happened?
Zhuge Yun: ...
Zhang Bo rolled his eyes again.
"We spent quite a while on the way back."
"Yeah, yeah."
"He might have noticed just now..."
"Who knows?"
"Who did you just say still believed in monsters?"
It really did sound like an insult.
That boy was probably still angry and upset, wasn't he?
"Yeah..."
Oh.
Zhuge Yun explained to the girl, "When he shouted 'Monster!' just now, there happened to be a boy in the direction he was pointing."
At the same time, he called to Xiao Xiao, "Third Brother, let's go over and take a look, too."

"If you didn't know at the time, why would you find it strange?"
"Where?!"
The girl answered as naturally as could be.
Zhang Bo recounted what had happened earlier to Xiao Xiao.
Zhuge Yun took a deep breath.
The girl froze.
"Didn't you even get scolded by him?"
"The reason we're only getting back to school now..."
"How could a boy be a monster..."
The girl's voice fell. "I thought I saw a monster..."
"Then ask him."
Xiao Xiao smiled faintly and shook his head.
Confusion surfaced on the girl's face again.
"Sorry."
Should he ask the girl who'd come to ask him about the monster again? Should he find that boy and clear things up?
"You didn't see a monster..."
Xiao Xiao was a little surprised, too.
"Hello!"
The girl behind them
