Vol. 2 - Chapter 57

Ash

The night was underway at the bathhouse. After those drinks with Ren, the group returned to their temporary home to relax for the rest of the day. 

Currently, that took the form of Ash sitting in the kitchen with the others as Satsuhiro and Metsumi prepared some dinner for everyone. Ash leaned back, the aroma filling the air with a scent that made Ash even more hungry than she was. 

In front of her, Opah was showing off some toys Metsumi had bought for her to Kaori. 

"Ohhh, nice!" Kaori said as Opah turned a figure of a knight around in her hands. Opah giggled a little, proceeding to push another doll in front of the blonde's face. Kaori took the next toy in stride and laughed a little, as Opah waited for her reaction to that one. 

"So, who's this?" Kaori asked. 

"That's Tom..." Opah replied quietly, hugging her other toys to her chest.

"What does Tom do?"

"He fights monsters..." 

"How?"
