Fabre in Sacheon’s Tang

"Male?"

"Are you saying they’re all males?"

"All of them are males?"

"Wait, all of them? But how can you even tell, So-ryong? No matter how hard I look, I can't tell them apart. They're not like animals—it's impossible to see."

Everyone kept asking if all the dead millipedes were truly males.

And Sister Seol, curious how I could even tell the difference, also asked.

I turned to Ji-ryong.

"Ji-ryong, could you make a fire, please? I’ll show everyone how to tell males and females apart."

Since we were all martial artists, we could enhance our vision slightly in the dark, so we hadn’t bothered with a fire until now.

But enhancing vision only helped with seeing shapes—it didn’t make things crystal clear—so I asked Ji-ryong to make a fire to demonstrate properly.

Sister Seol and I could see clearly with our Myoaham Night Arts, but the others couldn’t.

If I was going to teach them, we needed a proper light.
