Then, slowly, his gaze shifted. He looked around—first at the walls, then the roof, then the side of the house. After a moment, he began walking calmly toward the boundary of the house.
His eyes scanned the area carefully, until they stopped at a small square opening near the side wall—just big enough to let air in. It was the same opening Kaya had left for ventilation. The same spot where Veer had slipped into the house before.
Cutie stared at that opening, quiet and focused. His eyes didn't move.
Cutie then walked back to the door, where the beastmen were still knocking. Without saying a word, he gently pushed Rin to the side and stepped forward.
Then, without hesitation, he opened the door.
It was the first time Rin had ever seen that kind of cold expression on Cutie's face—and honestly, it scared him a little.
