"And last time, Kanako saw you giving this skeleton a bath in the middle of the night? She was almost scared to death, you know?"
"What's the big deal? Since we're battle companions, we obviously need to keep things clean. Besides, don't you think it's kind of cool?"
"I don't really get how guys think..."
Kousaka Rina shrugged, and Huang'zen Kumiko gave a wry smile.
"Besides, it's just a Skeleton Guard. Even if it were alive, it's still a guy, so two guys bathing together is totally normal."
"Eh? But this Skeleton Miss is a girl, you know."
Just then, Hiwa Ichiki, who overheard Hideichi Tsukamoto and Kousaka Rina's conversation, curiously chimed in. She was also a member of the battle team, with the Heavenly Duty of a Spirit Caller. At first glance, she seemed a bit like Hideichi Tsukamoto's Necromancer, but not quite the same. A Necromancer primarily manipulates corpses, while a Spirit Caller communicates with souls and can summon spirits to possess for battle.
