"It's all legally owned by me. If you want to waste your time fighting this fact, fine. But I have the paperwork to prove it, and the law would be on my side." Times like these made you wish that you had Ruby or Ayane with you.

"Bullshit!" Said Boss.

"Nope! It's all true!" Mel said.

"So you're still working for Forthwythe?" You press on.

"Funny you mention that, since now we're helping those weird hotels from Eas-" Smalls was about to continue, but was interrupted by Boss.

"Hey! Don't get distracted! We still got things to do!" Boss said.

"Yeah!" Biggy, the dwarf, added. "So stay out of the way and let us do our job, Savant!"

"Your job, huh?" You said. "I know you've been running around the city, giving hotels a bad name and causing them to close down."

"Oh yeah? Whacha gonna do about it, huh?" Biggy continued. "You can't have your toys around here, and your Garden of Death is back in that shitty mansion that nobody cares about!"

"Huh?" Smalls had a confused look on his face "But weren't you the one that was the most mad when you heard that he pushed back the armies of-"

"We's in civilized space now, so you gotta play nice." The Boss interrupted.

"Playing nice?" You said, a shit-eating grin forming on your face. "Like you guys would know about that, being bandi-"

"EY! No need to bring that shit up!" Boss said. "We're just respectable members of the Drag On Gan- Freelance Agents!"

"And we're here to complain about bad service!" Biggy said.

"There's roaches everywhere!" Smalls added.

Yeah, no.

"The only roaches here are the one's I'm seeing right in front of me." You mocked.

"You fucking-" And with that, the three idiots' attention was taken from the mouse chick and given to you.

"Boss! Let's show 'em what happens when they mess with us!" Smalls said.

"Right, lemme just..." He reached into his pocket and triumphantly raised something into the air. "Betcha you don't have one of these, huh?"

"A stick?" Cattleya meowed.

"Yeah, that's right, it's a- wait, what?" Boss suddenly realized he was holding a simple stick. "Huh? Were'd the magic thingy go?"

"Master, here." Mel presented you with a magic wand.

With your Appraisal you're able to tell what it is: A wand much like the ones used at the Academy by students, yet this had a far greater power and a wide selection of spells within. The downside was that it could only be used a few times— killing the caster as it exploded as well as causing damage to the surrounding area.

It only had three uses left.

"Excellent job, Mel." You congratulate her as you pocket the dangerous item.

"Hey! That's not yours!" Biggy shouted.

"It's not yours, either." You didn't know how they got their hands on this shit, but you were as sure as fuck that it wasn't theirs.

"Psh, we don't need it anyway!" Boss then began to charge up his magic. Some flames began to form, enveloping his fist. "You better watch out-"
