Allen and his little bones [Western Fantasy]

Although Allen suggested that it is better to have his help, if the undead is alone, some dead parts of the body may not be cleaned properly, but the undead who was just named "Bone" by him seems to have a good sense of privacy, so he firmly rejected him. Suggestion, that it is good to come by yourself.

Allen didn't insist anymore, and turned his head to deal with the empty medicine bottles.

Eli breathed a sigh of relief in the vat until he saw Alan's figure disappear behind the door, convinced that the other party could not see him for the time being.

As Allen said, there are indeed some parts of his body that cannot be washed by himself, and the joints of the undead skeleton cannot rotate infinitely, and there will always be places where the bones touch each other.

——But he also has the trick of "self-dismantling".

Even if the body of the undead skeleton is dismantled, as long as the spiritual core remains and the source of the spirit is not exhausted, it can fight itself well after the dark elements around it are enough, and continue to be alive and kicking in this world.

When Allen, who packed up the empty bottle, came out of the room again, wanting to see how the bones were washed, this was the scene that greeted him——

The undead "Bone" was sitting with his back against the bathtub, facing the small door in the inner room. The other party was holding a soft towel soaked in water in one hand, and was wiping a leg bone.

At first glance, the picture is unproblematic.

But Allen took a second look carefully and found that the posture of the undead was not right.

The opponent was facing the small door, but his head was turned 180 degrees to the back, and the height of the leg bone was not right. The opponent simply removed a leg, and then lifted the leg to wipe it like a prosthetic limb.

Allen: "..."

Eli who heard the movement behind: […]

There are undead skeletons at home, and they will take you to witness the limit of human body distortion - Alan thought so, but his face was still faint.

Knowing from the sudden stop of the undead that the other party found him, Allen thought for a while, and he continued to take a step and walked over: "It's okay-can you show me this leg? I remember your sword The injury is here, and I want to confirm the recovery of the wound."

Eli stiffened when he realized that Allen had come out, wondering if he should put his leg bones back together immediately, so as not to make people feel uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Allen's voice sounded normal, which made him feel relieved, and turned to face the other party.

【Can. 】

"Okay, give me your legs."

【…】

Always feeling that there seems to be something wrong with the conversation between the two, Eli watched Allen hold his ankle, pull that leg up, and open it to the side.

It may be because the distance is still a little far away, and the surrounding water mist will also obscure people's vision, and you need to get closer to see clearly. The tall young man leaned down towards the water tank that was temporarily used as a bathtub, and let Eli The shin bone of his calf rested on the rim of the vat, and he himself supported the side of the vat with one arm, and the other hand first groped around the thigh bone, and then stretched towards the hip bone.

"The thigh is okay, the condition is stable... What about here?" Allen asked while checking, "Does it hurt?"

[…] Eli didn't answer the conversation immediately.

Because he finally realized what was the problem.

When Allen's hand continued to go up and almost brushed between the two hip bones, Eli couldn't help it anymore. He retracted his leg in a jerk, and the water tank immediately "crashed" because of his big movement. Allen, who was lowering his head, couldn't dodge in time, and was splashed all over his face by the splash of water.

Allen: "..."

Eli: [...I'm sorry. 】

"It's okay." In fact, Allen didn't mind the water on his body too much. He paid more attention to the reaction of the bones. "Is the place where you pressed just now uncomfortable? Is there light element erosion nearby?"

——No, the pressing position is simply wrong!

Eli really hoped that he could tell the truth, but seeing the expression on the young man's face that he didn't notice any problem at all, his words got stuck in his throat again, he could only shake his head and pass it vaguely: [No, I'm just a little...no Get used to such contact. 】

"That should be my apology." Allen pulled the dry towel prepared aside and wiped his face and neck, and brushed aside the wet hair on his forehead, "Sorry, I didn't expect to communicate with you first to check the details .”

It would be too embarrassing to continue this topic with a person who really knows nothing, and the two people's thinking is still completely different.

Eli continued to shake his head, and felt relieved after the topic was finally over, and then saw Alan come over for a new clean towel and put it on the small shelf beside him.

"Call me when you're done." Allen said, "This cleansing soup contains soothing and calming ingredients. Your physical strength hasn't recovered much, and you'll be even more fatigued after soaking. I'll take you out later."

After finishing speaking, Allen returned to the inner room very considerately.

But he didn't wait until the bones were washed and called him, only waited for a loud noise and the sound of things falling to the ground after being knocked apart.

Allen: "..."

The black-haired young man turned back from the inner room to the outer room silently. First, he saw the water stains spreading all the way to the door of the inner room. He continued to walk forward and looked at the skeleton that was scattered together with the shelf in silence.

The undead really wanted to scatter on the ground and pretend to be dead. Anyway, his appearance should be similar to death in the eyes of others.

But he didn't put it on for long, and his etiquette and conscience urged him to get up again, asking him to try his best to put himself together first, and then apologize honestly: [Sorry, I thought I could get out by myself. 】

What else could Allen say?He really didn't realize that he had brought a little "shadow" to the undead just now, and asked the other party to carefully avoid his contact for the time being.

He could only say "it's okay" for the third time tonight, pulled the undead up, wrapped it in a big towel and put it on a chair, then tidied up the joints of the other party's body, cleaned up the mess, and put the big vat of small wood Put the racks back in place, and finally signaled the undead to go to the inner room with him.

【Can I go in too? ] Eli propped himself up on the back of the chair and stood up, but didn't take a step immediately.

"There is no place for people to rest outside." Allen said, "There can be another folding bed inside, come in."

Eli was about to follow Alan's instructions, but just as he took a step, Alan stretched out his long arms, and he realized that he was being hugged after his body lightened suddenly.

"I'll take you in." Allen said without extra emotion, and walked inside with the undead in his arms.

... leaving Eli dumb as a skeletal model.
