บท 272: The End? (1)

"Aaaaah?!"

I was startled.

And for good reason.

The mirror that had completely filled the wall was gone, leaving only a white wall behind.

Where did the mirror go! As I was panicking, something caught my eye.

The white wall wasn't smooth.

There were bumps and ridges everywhere, and something transparent was gleaming.

Actually, the mirror hadn't disappeared - it was still there.

It just reflected what looked like a white wall.

"Sak!"

This is amazing.

What could this possibly be?

Fortunately, Rania was keeping her promise to crouch with her eyes closed.

I moved closer to the mirror to examine it carefully.

The white wall surface reflected in the mirror. Its true identity was...

'Scales...?'

They were scales.

If my current scales are the size of barley grains, those scales were easily the size of human heads.
