Clad in equipment they had bought with saved-up Joss Paper, the tall and short skeletons left the "newbie village," heading toward a human town in the south.
To remain inconspicuous, they specifically scavenged two sheets from a run-down inn at the foot of the mountain and draped them over themselves as cloaks, which somewhat reduced the scare radius of their "Scare Aura."
Of course, whether it was effective or not was up for debate.
In the Surface World, there's also a saying that clothed undead are more terrifying than those unclothed.
Shortly after the two skeletons left the inn, a hurried horse-drawn tarpaulin cart arrived near the inn, almost brushing past them.
Inside the cart.
The man sitting on the back end planks caught a glimpse of something, turned around toward the inside of the cart, and muttered nervously.
"Boss… I think I just saw something, it looked like… the undead?"
And it looked like they were wearing cloaks, disguised as humans!
