"So, wait." Raffina pauses, "There's a demon on the loose?"
Klug perks up a bit.
"I never thought of that." He notes.
"Looks like mister smarty-pants isn't so smart after all." Raffina mocked.
Klug grumbled something in response.
"Well, then we should go looking for it." I suggested.
Sig nodded. Though Klug and Raffina didn't really respond.
"Okay, so how'll we do that?" Raffina asked.
"Uh, Sig and I will take this way-" I pointed to the left, "-and you two can take the right."
Klug and Raffina responded with what sounded like a growl and a sigh mixed together.
"Let's go." Sig says.
Sig and I walked out of the library and to the left side of the hallway. Klug and Raffina trudged to the right side of the hallway.
Sig and I walk down the left side of the hallway.
"So where do you think it is?" I ask.
Sig stops for a moment. I stop as well.
"The library." Sig responds.
I sigh, "Well, let's go back."
"But we didn't see it." Sig notes.
"But we didn't look very hard." I suggested.
Sig nods, "Back we go."
We walk back to the library.
I first look around the tables. Sig looks through the bookshelf. He takes handfuls of book out.
Klug and Raffina came back not too soon after.
"You guy had the same idea?" I ask.
"If it was that the demon might be here, yes." Klug responds.
He and Raffina start helping Sig take out books from the shelf. Klug flips through some of them.
Just then, Ms. Accord walks through the hallway. She notices us.
"What are you guys doing?" She asks.
Popoi even tilts his head.
We all turn around.
"Professor Accord!" Klug exclaimes.
"I reiterate, what are you guys doing?"
"We're trying to solve a problem." Klug explains. His facial expressions show that he was embarrassed.
Well, Klug's response isn't lying. We are trying to solve a problem. I wonder if that counts as a half-truth. Or even better, neither.
Ms. Accord nods. She doesn't seem that she'll ask anymore questions.
"Have you by chance seen a spirit thing fly around here?" Sig asked quickly.
Sig's question made Klug tense up. It almost seemed that he wanted to yell at him.
"No." Ms. Accord shook her head.
"I'm confused meow." Popoi says as Ms. Accord walks away.
"Sig! Don't do that next time." Klug scolds.
Sig tilts his head in confusion.
"Well, I guess it's not here." I note.
"Yeah." Sig responds.
We put all of the books back on the shelf. We then all walk out and split up like we did last time.
As we were walking down the hallway, I noticed that the corner of Sig's right pupil was turning red.
"Sig, your right eye is turning red." I noted.
Sig shrugs, "It's probably not anything."
I think that Raffina noticed it too. That's probably why she was looking at his face.
I think this might be serious, Sig. I hope not though.
We first looked in the copy room. Sig looked around the paper cutter.
"Hmm." He saw a red thing sticking out.
"I think that's just paper." I noted.
"Well-" Sig pulled out the red thing. It was a long strip of paper.
"-yeah it's just paper." Sig noted. He put it in the recycling box.
I went over to the stacks of colored paper. I leafed through them. Didn't see anything.
After a couple more minutes of searching, Sig and I walked out and continued the search.
