Nine minutes and nine seconds earlier…
An E-Boy, a bird with brilliant red feathers and an exceptionally proud expression, sat near the shore of the lake drinking water.
Although it was absentmindedly observing the commotion taking place in the middle of the lake, where a group of children were making an unreasonable amount of noise, it paid little attention to them.
Then a strange fluctuation had erupted from the fat dog floating in the water.
The E-Boy glanced in that direction for a brief moment.
Finding nothing worth investigating, it lowered its head and continued drinking.
Unfortunately, its fate was about to worsen with every passing minute.
A snake suddenly lunged from behind.
The attack was swift and silent, perfectly timed to strike while the bird's attention was elsewhere.
Unfortunately for the snake, the E-Boy was faster.
With a sharp screech, it leaped aside before slashing downward with its claws.
The snake was torn apart instantly.
