they repair the uniforms of fighters;
help in the Butterfly Manor and transport people (for example, between the blacksmith village and other locations).
What they look like

He most often walks with a bare torso, wears dark blue pants (part of the uniform of fighter jets), a woolen belt and blue woolen socks with open toes and heels.

At the same time, she has an inner insecurity: Aoi considers herself a "coward" and says that she survived the final selection only by luck. Due to her fear of demons, she refused to participate in battles and chose the path of support - healing and training the wounded, doing everything in her power to be useful.
