"Achooooo!!" Hazuki sneezed loudly, echoing through the forest.
"Waaahh!! Oi, the fuck!" Ridan screamed from inside the sword, clearly startled.
Hazuki blinked. "What? It's just sneezing, pervert spirit."
"Don't just suddenly sneeze out loud like that! You gave me a heart attack!"
"You're a spirit, idiot. You don't have a heart!" Hazuki snorted. "Besides, aren't you too busy peeking on naked men in streams to care?"
"OI! I'm not!! Stop saying that! I told you—I have standards!"
"Yeah, perverted standards." Hazuki smirked, clearly enjoying this.
"Ughhh!! One day, I swear, I'll haunt you properly!"
Hazuki shrugged. "Until then, enjoy being my overpriced butter knife."
"So where are we going?" Ridan asked, his voice echoing faintly from the sword.
Hazuki lazily swung the blade over his shoulder. "I don't know… maybe Hazlin Town?"
"Oi, buddy!! Better not go there. No beauties around that place."
Hazuki raised a brow. "Oh? I thought you were into guys."
