Gun: A Short Story

“After stealing my wallet, trying to molest me, and now this.” Said the girl after letting out a long sigh, “You guys are the worst!”
It was after her last shout that I witnessed her true nature. Much like me when I had to fight the soldier statues inside Basilisk Catacomb, a small white light also appeared in front of her chest. Then, she put her hand inside and pulled out a weapon. Different from mine, though, her weapon was not a sword. It was a gun.

“My name is Luke.” I answered as Aqua Blade evaporated, “Full name is Luke Worthswell.”
“Luke Worthswell?” Virona’s gun also vanished shortly after, “That young archeologist?”
“Well, I’m an archeologist and I’m still nineteen. So, yes, I am that young archeologist.”
“You’re really him, huh?” She said unamused, “But, what does an archeologist want from me?”
