Once there were no other people in the room, a small but dexterous carp sprang up from the bed with agility resembling that of a cat. Silently, it hid by the window, peeking through the slightly shaking lily-flower window pattern at the scene outside.
Muffled, fragmentary voices drifted in from outside, unclear. The lanterns under the eaves flickered gently in the wind, casting a dim glow.
The little figure pursed its lips, the corners of its mouth curving slightly upward as it looked up above its head. Then, with a leap, it grabbed onto a horizontal beam.
But while climbing up, it almost slipped and fell, scaring itself tremendously!
"Rabbit!"
He couldn't help but curse softly.
It was all because this body was too young and frail, making even something as simple as flipping over a beam difficult to accomplish.
