Chương 270: Understander Better Then Most, Central Intersection

I looked at the shocked-looking bugs trying to figure out what I had said to make them act so surprised. There was a short moment of awkward silence between the three of us, but then I spoke up.

"What's going on? What is with the surprised looks?" I asked the two beetles.

They both looked stunned, but it was the one that hadn't spoken yet that shook his head first and then nudged the other horned beetle. That seemed to get his brain moving again, and after another short shake of his hard shell-covered face, the bug started to speak again.

"Sorry, we just didn't expect you to be able to understand us or that you would be able to talk to us in our language! Normally, we have trouble talking between different species of bugs. I am sure you can understand how surprised we were to find that you can not only translate what we say but speak it back to us better than most of us can!" the beetle explained.

I nodded my head but shrugged at the same time.
