This woman's weirdness aside, Carlos was more bothered by the two stubborn retainers squaring off in front of him.
Compared to their predecessor Shield Guards, the retainers' smarts had shot through the roof.
While their battle sense had gotten sharper and they could handle trickier jobs, they'd also developed their own feelings.
Like right now—the two retainers butting heads over who got to approach their master.
"Can't let this keep going. Otherwise their teamwork down the road might fall apart."
Carlos mulled it over—he had to lay down the law for them.
"Both of you get over here!"
His tone was dead serious, no room for argument.
"Roar!"
"Wah!"
Master sounds ticked off!
The feuding retainers immediately responded loudly, pulling back their energy.
Red Spirit, using its speed edge, zipped over to Carlos first.
Its little stubby hands pointed at Purple Vortex, tattling away:
"Wah! Wah! Wah!"
