“Man, I know we sneaked in and all, but I really hate types like him,” Zophia remarked.

“Are all nobles like this?” Zenos asked.

“Some of them, I guess.” Zophia shrugged as the healer stepped in front of her.

“Mr. Zenos,” Krishna gasped between ragged, labored breaths. “B-Be careful... The...the guns, they are...extremely potent without the limiter... Even a master of protective magic like you would be—”

Bang.

Callendore fired the gun in his hand before the knight could finish her desperate warning, the muzzle bursting into flames as a blazing bullet cut through the air and hit Zenos directly.

“Ha! Ha ha ha ha! Idiot!” the nobleman exclaimed. “That’s what you get for daring to trespass on the lands of a holy noble, thief!”

“Huh. What do you know,” Zenos said. “That did hurt a little.”

“What?!”

As the smoke cleared, the figure of the healer rubbing his stomach came into view.

“H-How?! What happened?!” Callendore shouted in bewilderment, firing again and again in rapid succession. Gunshots echoed throughout the cramped space as it filled with white smoke.

Emerging from the thick fumes, Zenos closed the distance between himself and the nobleman.

“Bit trigger-happy, aren’t you?” he said. “Mind holding it back a touch? No?”

“What manner of monster are you?!” Callendore asked, stumbling backwards until he touched the iron bars. The cold sensation made him yelp, startling him into dropping the magic guns.

Zenos casually moved to pick one of them up, pointing it at the man.

“What?!” the nobleman exclaimed. “H-How dare filth like you point that thing at a noble like me?!”

“If you’re gonna go around shooting at people, you better be prepared to get shot at,” Zenos remarked. “Good thing to keep in mind.”

As the healer moved his finger to the trigger, Callendore swiftly raised his hands in surrender and dropped to his knees. “W-W-W-Wait! I-I-I get it! I-I have money! You’re thieves, right? Name your price! How much do you want?!”

“I’m no thief. But if you’re eager to part with your riches, she’ll take however much you want to give,” Zenos said, pointing his thumb at Zophia, who stood behind him with her arms crossed.

“I mean, if you’re offering,” the lizardwoman said. “But you know, I am just a guide right now, so it’s secondary to what you gotta do, doc.”

At those words, Callendore, still on his knees, slunk over to Zenos and pleaded softly, “W-Well, what is it you want, then? I’ll do anything, so just lower the guns, all right?”

“Let’s see,” the healer pondered. “Honestly, I just met you, and you’ve done me no wrong. Other than, you know, the fact that you just rained bullets on me.”

“I-I-I... I-I’m sorry,” the nobleman stammered. “I really am. I apologize, so please just let me go.”

“Nah.”

“Wh-Why?!” Callendore asked, visibly shocked. He glanced over to a Krishna, who barely clung to life. “Oh. I see. I should apologize to that woman too! I-I’m sorry. I just lost my cool a little. It was a heat-of-the-moment thing, all right? You forgive me, don’t you?” He hastily bowed to the knight, his pleading gaze fixed on Zenos.
