Hearing the joyful and delighted cries of Ida, Kikki emerged from behind the cages with her pets. Instead of her usual attire, she wore a transparent black robe that highlighted the surprisingly delicate figure of this monster hunter. In her hands, Kikki firmly held a whip.
"Hello! I didn't expect to see you so soon," the girl smiled. "Maybe you're not such a bore after all! Yes, I've been training various creatures for quite some time. Would you like to trade for one?"
Besides foxes, birds, and ratlings, there was someone else sitting in the cages, but Ida couldn't make out who it was.
"Oh, did I interrupt something important?" Ida blushed, only now noticing the appearance of the house owner. "You offered to spend some time together, and since I don't have anything pressing to do right now and there's nothing to do here, I thought I'd drop by... Am I too early?"
