Everything had happened so suddenly. The taxidermied creature that resembled In-Ah had come rushing toward me with a familiar scent, and Jin-Seo had sliced the creature apart. Immediately afterward, the school broadcast called me to the principal's office.
My mind was overwhelmed by chaos and turmoil. First of all, it seemed necessary to organize my thoughts.
"..."
I collected my breath and started thinking. Black smoke was rising from the body of the bisected taxidermied creature. Upon seeing that, a question arose in my mind.
"...How did you know?"
If that hadn’t been a taxidermied creature but the real In-Ah, it would have been a disaster. There was no way that Jin-Seo was unaware of this fact.
Yet, Jin-Seo swung her sword without any hesitation and cut off the neck of the taxidermied creature. If that was the case, how could she be certain that it was a taxidermied creature?
Jin-Seo pointed to the severed part of the taxidermied creature's leg with the tip of her sword and said, "The foot."
"The foot?"
"There was a wound on the foot. It's not visible now."
"So?"
"Instead of blood, there was sawdust. And it was also strange that she was barefoot…”
From the taxidermied creature’s wounds, sawdust, cotton, and chemicals had flowed out instead of blood. It seemed like Jin-Seo was convinced that In-Ah was a taxidermied creature after seeing the wound on its foot.
It was impossible to confirm it since the taxidermied creature’s body had already lost its form and was disappearing into smoke. At this point, it was impossible to figure out whether there was a wound on her foot or not. However, that didn't really matter.
The real problem was the school broadcast.
The voice from the broadcast had specifically called my name and ordered me to go to the principal's office. It was clear from the tone and content of the broadcast that they weren’t calling me over to praise me. The broadcast was blatantly filled with suspicious content.
Nevertheless, I had to go for now. It was because of the statement: Failure to comply will be considered treason against the Romanican Church.
"It looks like I have to go to the principal's office for now..." I muttered to myself as I walked toward the principal's office.
The principal's office was in the building across from where I was, so it took quite some time...
