"Who's there?"
"Hm? Someone's here?"
Seeing Theresa's reaction, Patrick's expression changed slightly as well.
"..."
Theresa blinked in confusion at the motionless spot. Had she sensed it wrong?
Just as Theresa was wondering whether she had been mistaken, two figures revealed themselves right before her and Patrick.
A woman and a strange little humanoid creature.
"So you actually noticed us. Since when did you get so impressive, Derpy Theresa?"
Himeko stepped out with Hiyamaru. Himeko had never intended to hide in the first place, so she had not deliberately concealed her presence. It was not strange that she had been discovered.
