"Before that, miss, could you hold this?"
"What is this?"
"Hold on to it."
While heading towards the engine room, the man looked back at Lisa. He took something out of his pocket and placed it in her hand.
"Not like that, like this. Yes, that's how you hold it."
Lisa became flustered by the object that suddenly came into her possession, and the man repositioned her hand, helping her hold it properly.
It was a heavy, black thing.
Lisa blinked her eyes absentmindedly as she held onto the heavy object with one hand and supported it with the palm of her other hand.
The man raised an eyebrow at her awkward posture and asked, "Have you never seen one of these before? It's called a gun."
"No, this is my first time."
"Oh, wait, don't pull that trigger. All you have to do is place your finger over it."
"Is this the trigger?"
"It seems you really don't know. Yes, that's the trigger."
He pointed the long, round part of the gun at his waist and gave a cryptic smile.
"Even though it hasn't been long since it started being made, it's something that everyone in the capital can recognize right away."
His face looked like he held an ulterior motive, but Lisa had no choice other than to follow him. She closely trailed behind him while nodding her head.
"I don't know what this is, but you're saying all I have to do is hold it like this, right?"
"Yes. Then I can stop the train."
Soon, the two arrived in front of the engine room after passing by the passenger cars. The man, who had been about to open the door of the engine room, suddenly slammed his head against the door and dropped to his knees in front of Lisa.
The scene looked as if he had been beaten by her.
Lisa became flustered by the situation and bent down. She tried to examine his wound, but the man pushed her hand away.
"Wh-what are you doing?! You're badly injured, we need to stop the bleeding right away...!"
"Shhh. Don't say anything and stay still."
The man whispered briskly underneath her when she tried to help him up. When he saw Yuriel's hardened expression, his lips twisted into a smile as he opened the door.
"Wha-what?!"
"What are you doing, you're not allowed in here!"
The people in the engine room jumped up in shock at the sight of the man who was bleeding and the woman who was pointing a gun at him.
