Ever since their suspicions of Hitogami had deepened that day, Radeus and Rudeus had gone into full energy-saving mode.
They did nothing all day except tinker with flammable oolong tea. They either sprawled in the inn lobby staring into space or went to the harbor to watch seagulls fight.
After all, fighting those two was exhausting. They had to think up quite a few quotes for every fight, nearly using up what little brainpower they had...
