Setsuka, Wang Ruyue, and Kirika were shocked after hearing Kaede's explanation. The girls raised their voices and drew the attention of the visitors around them, including the spies who were keeping an eye on them.
They were confused about why Kirika and the others looked surprised since they couldn't hear their conversation. The spies wanted to get closer to them to eavesdrop on what the girls were talking about but stopped for fear they would be found out.
Wang Ruyue and the others quickly noticed the situation around them and moved to a quieter location to discuss the matter. Of course, the spies that Chizen sent were also secretly following them.
"Was everything Kaede said true?" Setsuka looked at Tenku and asked to confirm Kaede's words. She didn't think her best friend was lying, but the news shocked even Setsuka. She did not expect that there would be someone experimenting on monsters to increase their strength.
