Exiled Villainess: They Threw Me Out, Now Every Beastman Wants Me novel Chapter 56

Chapter 56: The Fox Did This

This was not an accident. It was a deliberate, calculated destruction carried out by someone who wanted her to see exactly what they had done.

But why would anyone do this?

Xavi was already moving through the wreckage, his nostrils flaring as he pulled scents from the air. His expression was dark, his jaw locked tight. The clan members had gathered around the edges of the destruction, watching their leader with a nervous energy that crackled through the group like heat before a storm.

"Too many scents," Xavi growled. "Everyone has slept in these shelters."

Tera felt so frustrated.

’System. Scan the wreckage. I need to know who did this.’

[Analysis: Damage was inflicted using a blunt instrument, likely a thick branch or stick]

[No claw marks detected on any surface]

[No bite marks]

[No distinct fur residue that would indicate involvement]

[(·•᷄_•᷅ )]

[Whoever did this was meticulous]

[They avoided leaving any physical trace that could identify their beast type]

[...]

[This system is impressed by the level of forethought]

[And disturbed]

Tera’s stomach turned.

Xavi had moved around, organising and questioning the clan to figure out who did this. He grew more frustrated by the second. Different beast folk had slept, moved around, and even built the shelter. Sniffing out the culprit was impossible, and it shocked him how someone had committed this act without their claws.

The results hadn’t been forthcoming, and the lack of evidence only infuriated Tera more. Especially when she had a strong conviction of who would have done this.

’Kiri had done this, hadn’t she?’

[Host, this system may be aware of how the world works]

[But it does not keep a record of events and activities of other—]

’You have described Xavi’s and Ermin’s emotions and reactions to me. That of other beasts, too! I am sure you are perfectly capable of reading her emotions this instant!’

[⓪_⓪]

[This system understands]

[Scanning...]

[Clan member Kiri is experiencing an elevated heart rate]

[Scanning other vitals and mannerisms...]

[૮( `д´*)ა]

[GUILTY!]

[The fox female is excited and exhibiting signs of gloating!]

’That fucking skank!’ Tera nearly shrieked.

’I knew it was her. I KNEW it!’
