A Female Bodyguard?

With hands clasped in shame, Hana said, "I'm really sorry! You surprised me..."

Senku argued back, massaging the back of his head as Hana pushed him hard. "But that doesn't mean that you're going to shove me away that strongly! Geez...despite your figure, you really do have considerable raw strength."

Hana sighed, regaining her composure, "Are you complimenting me or insulting me..?" Senku, being naive, dismissed it and tried to forget what had happened.

'Well, pushing someone is illogical, but why does it seem so normal to her?'

"I'm still impressed you guys realized about my neck from little hint I gave. Taiju, Yuzuhira...and..." Senku said, peering over Hana's puzzled eye blinks.

He said, laughing, "Hana! Both of you get 10 billion points...!" while pointing to his neck. As Yuzuhira and Taiju joyfully gave each other high fives, Hana protested by shaking her hands.

Without realizing it, a trace of blush appeared on her cheeks as she said, "No, no, Oki-san and Ogawa-san did all the work. I really have no idea what's going on." while pondering,  'He addressed me using my first name.'

As Taiju continued to feel immense relief that Senku was once again alive, Yuzuhira reached into their baggage and took out the identical dress that she was currently wearing.

She approached Hana and said, "Here you go, Hana-chan. I have one spare and I think it will fit you." She gave Hana her extra clothes and matching cloth shoes.

"Thank you, Ogawa-san. Then..." Hana said as she walked to change behind the tree. 'I'm not used to dressing without underwear.'

With a deep breath, she removed her handcrafted clothing from the vines and put on the clothing and shoes.'Oh, it's short, but it's okay, I suppose.'

When the average girl saw her classmates fussing over Senku like a patient, she couldn't help but laugh. "Well, first of all, we have to take care of your neck. We can use a tree and this cloth I made as a splint, like this, see?" The short-haired said, while the average girl walked back to her classmates.

Taiju cried excitedly that Senku had behaved differently, saying, "Instead of a doctor, we have this stone of life...Dr. Stone! Isn't that right...?!"

"Oh, it suits you, Hana! You and Yuzuhira are like sisters!" Taiju said, noticing that Hana had changed her attire. Hana grinned in response.

Hana said, "Although I'm fascinated that you can walk and run with this clothing, Ogawa-san." Yuzuhira laughed, and they started figuring out what to do next.

Taiju said, looking over their belongings, "Oh, right, you should just call us by our first names, Hana." Hana rubbed her temple, reconsidering.

"Should I...?"

"That's right, Hana-chan!"

Senku informed her, "We are in a Stone World. No one will care about formalities now."

With those three fiercely staring at her, Hana considered another thought, afraid to address them by name. She also felt more pressure.

"Then..."

It's amusing how their heads bopped so dramatically over time.

Hana cautiously said his name, "Senku-san...?"

He couldn't help but act irrationally, saying things like, "I told you to drop the formalities!" After apologizing, Hana chose to address them by name without using any formality. 'She seems so normal.'
