[color=orangered]"Yeah, yeah, thanks, Shiro,"[/color] Natsumi mumbled as she scrambled stiffly to her feet. It seemed a bit early to be clapping, because while the multipronged attack had annihilated the demon, Andrea's beams had also unleashed hell on the surrounding walls and ceilings. She could already hear the concrete groaning as it threatened to swallow them all. At a glance, Kaida, Andrea, and the new recruit were in the bowels of the building with her, while the others were closer to the exit. Kaida was agile enough to escape the collapse and Andrea would survive it, but for Nakanishi, she had no idea. From what little she had seen, he seemed speedy but not very coordinated. Afraid to waste time, she made the snap decision to act.

[color=orangered]"I'll get the boy!"[/color] she called to Kaida as she launched forward with her flame jets. With no more time for a warning, she flew past Andrea and collided with Nakanishi, wrapping her arms around his waist so that she lifted him up over her shoulder and along with her movement. She had practiced this move as a way to get civilians out of danger, but hadn't yet used it in practice, since Kaida was better suited to that task. She wasn’t strong enough to carry a person for long, and she had little ability to steer with her arms occupied, so she was really just relying on the momentum for a quick relocation. The two of them zipped through the big hallway and out the exit, at which point Natsumi slowed down, weakening her jets while angling her feet further down, so they would remain aloft even while losing momentum. If done right, she could have come to a smooth landing like this, but that didn't pan out. Instead, the two of them took a gentle but clumsy tumble, with Nakanishi falling on his back in the dirt and Natsumi landing on top, cushioning the impact of her face onto the soft pillow of Nakanishi's breasts.

Wait, what? She rose onto all fours and looked down at the cat-eared girl. [color=orangered]"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to!"[/color] she stammered. [color=orangered]"I thought you were, uhm…"[/color] Saying [i]I thought you were a boy[/i] seemed way too rude, so she stopped herself. Still, she [i]was[/i] a boy before, wasn't she? Natsumi had specifically taken note of that. Her [i]formerly[/i] flat chest was the main thing that had tipped her off. [color=orangered]"Never mind."[/color] Feeling her cheeks heat up, she scrambled to her feet and turned away, looking around to make sure that everyone else would make it out.
