“Wh-Who the hell are you people?!” Callendore demanded in a panic as he pointed the guns at the two strangers who’d suddenly appeared at the bottom of the well.

“Don’t mind me,” Zenos said as he slowly moved closer. “I’m just a plain ol’ shadow healer.”

“What? What did you just say?”

“And I’m just his guide,” Zophia added.

“Do not mock me with this nonsense!” Callendore snapped. “Hey! Someone! I need someone here, now!”

Despite the nobleman’s desperate cries, there were no signs of reinforcements. The sounds of angry men shouting could still be heard coming from above.

“My guys are up there wreaking havoc,” Zophia explained. “No one’s coming to save you right now.”

“Y-You’re a lizardwoman, aren’t you?” Callendore said triumphantly, placing a finger on the trigger. “I see. So you’re that bandit leader people have been talking about!” The nobleman snorted. “Don’t you threaten me, fool! No one’s going to blame me for killing a thief from the slums! Now get on your knees! I’ll execute you one by one!”

“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’re...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 head on.

“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.
