CREAK!
The door slowly opened a crack, as if pushed by the wind.
A few seconds passed.
Hearing no movement from within, two figures entered, one after the other.
They walked straight into the room.
They moved as casually as if they were in their own home, seemingly unconcerned about being discovered by the room's occupant.
Aided by the light from the hallway, their eyes immediately fell on the slight bulge under the covers on the bed.
Just as the two were about to get closer...
QUACK! QUACK!
The Camphor Tea Duck, which had been squatting and sleeping in its cage, was apparently startled by the sudden noise and began to flap about in a panic.
"Hm?"
The abrupt sound drew their attention.
However, when they saw what was making the noise, they both froze for a moment, a bit dumbfounded.
'Is that... a duck?'
WHOOSH!
In that instant, a powerful gust of wind erupted from behind the wardrobe behind them!
