Thankfully, Rika had made short work of the remaining beasts as planned, more or less. Emi was relieved that they didn't have to waste too much more time on them, that meant she could focus on the more pressing matters. She glanced over ehr shoulder, towards the devil that the others were throwing themselves at. It greatly irritated her to see Kaeru tackling the monster like that - reckless as that attack was, Emi could at least recognise it was a joint manoeuvre to take the monster down. She was annoyed that Andrea had yet to just end the fight herself, sparing [i]them[/i] the trouble of fighting like that to begin with.

Shirokami's mocking chuckle resounded in her head again, making the fox-eared operative click her tongue in annoyance. She was sure that her contracted partner was chiming in only to indicate how unfair her thoughts truly were towards her demonic ally, but Emi sure as hell wasn't going to acknowledge that. Instead, she watched the bout for another moment, pressing her lips tightly together. Now that she had a moment, the other pressing matter became more apparent by the second: This partially-constructed building was at risk of having whatever was built fall on top of them all.

"...Rika-san," Emi could not recall her new colleague's full name, she could apologise for the informal address after the mission. She briefly turned her head towards Rika, "I'd suggest escorting Honda-san out of the building, before it all comes down on top of us."

Getting their most vulnerable conrade out of harm's way, just in case things went [i]too[/i] far south was important, and assigning Rika to guard her at least kept them both out of immediate danger, now that the beasts were dealt with. The fox-possessed operative turned towards the battle, quickly making her way down the burned, smoky corridor. Hopefully, with her assistance, they could quickly subdue that fiery menace and evacuate...!
