The lights flashed, and the carousel spun round.
The puppet cat on the canopy stood up, arched its body, yawned, and let out a long, "meow~~~"
The voice was sharp and high pitched, clearly audible to Shen Mo and Bai Youwei in the room, even with the surrounding din of music!
Mary, on the cat's back, also yawned.
She rubbed her eyes, stretched out her slender white arms, grabbed the cat by the tip of an ear, and complained like a short-tempered little girl:
"Alright, stop sleeping! You lazy feline! It's hide and seek time, get up!"
Mary, riding on the cat's neck, tugged at the cat forcefully.
Roused by this, the puppet cat let out a "meow", and leaped off the carousel with Mary on its back—
"Where is everyone?" the little girl sitting on the puppet cat's back said, her bright face bearing a malicious grin, "Aha~ I just love hide and seek! I love the expressions on your faces when you are found. They are such a joy!"
