"Hu Tao?"
Ellin looked at the twin-tailed girl before her, wearing a round black hat and the red-and-black uniform of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.
She couldn't help brightening. She'd never expected to come to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor and run into Hu Tao instead of Zhongli!

Both were outgoing and straightforward, so neither cared about formalities or felt any need to sound the other out.
In just a few exchanges, the two girls, who shared both twin tails and remarkably similar personalities,
