One more shot is all Chikusa needs, able to do that much on his own as a Navigator. The chest, especially, is a solid target, and the next bolt goes soaring through the air with no problem. Thank goodness these creatures still seem weak for now. He knows for a fact that he wouldn't be able to handle anything stronger.

But with that done- hopefully- he lowers the crossbow enough to relax on Astaroth's scales. "You will be soon," he says matter of factly. "But you need to do something... or this will just be a waste of time."
