Part Four

The catgirl aggressively cuddled Fizzy for a good three minutes. The Forest Gate had already closed itself and the dwarven ‘mercenaries’ had long since cleared the plaza by the time she let go of the radiant golem. She then greeted Lola with a shorter, more modest hug before finally introducing herself to Jessie as one Keira Morgana, a 3rd Legion scout and Fizzy’s apprentice. Under normal circumstances, that last bit would’ve thrown the gnome for a loop. An airhead like that the disciple of a Fizzlesprocket? It was a preposterous notion, yet hardly the strangest thing Jessie had learned that day.

After introductions, Keira and Fizzy went to pick up a load of heavy crates that the catgirl ordered on her Mentor’s behalf. There were so many of them that they had to borrow a cart in order to get them back to Fizzy’s improvised workshop. Granted, the golem could’ve probably handled that weight all on her own, but sheer volume of the cargo made it too dangerous to transport by hand.

Of course, the catgirl’s antics didn’t cease on the ride back to camp. She kept caressing and rubbing her face all over Fizzy’s frame in the back of the cart. Yet again the golem seemed happy about it rather than annoyed. Lola, who sat at the front, just sort of ignored them and focused her attention on steering the horse-drawn cart through the winding streets. The only one that had a problem with Keira’s behavior was the gnome seated next to the elf up front. She tagged along mainly because of Fizzy, but the beastkin’s shameless actions started to get on her nerves.

How could she treat her Mentor that way? It was brazen, shameless, and extremely envi-

“By the way, Jessie?”

“Ack! Uhm, y-yes?”

Being addressed so suddenly by the source of her annoyance caught the gnome a bit off guard and completely derailed her train of thought. She reflexively turned back and found the catgirl’s piercing yellow eyes staring right into hers.

“You said you were an Artificer too, right?”

“Yeah?”

“Do you have a specialty like Fizzy?”

“No, not quite yet. I’m still only Level 43. I’m planning on becoming a Flamespitter Artificer though.”

“Oh, nice! I was thinking of being one myself!”

“Huh? Aren’t you going to become an Arclight like Fizzy? Isn’t that insulting towards your Mentor?!”

“Well… I mean, I’m grateful for her guidance but…”

“She’s no good at it,” Fizzy interjected with a tired tone. “Keira may have a lot of potential, but both Flamespitter and Automata would be a much better fit for her than Arclight.”

“Oh. Well, if Fizzy says so, then it’s probably true.”

“Uhm, I feel a bit out of the loop here,” Lola joined in over her shoulder. “What’s the difference?”

“Arclight Artificers like me use electricity and magnetism to create complex devices with a variety of uses,” explained Fizzy. “Automata Artificers mostly make mechanical dolls called Automatons. They’re golem-like things that may or may not run on magic. As for the Flamespitters, they’re the best when it comes to handling combustible materials.
