With the discovery of a living girl in the shop, Emi breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that they'd found [i]someone[/i] alive, especially after the mess they found outside. Eliminating the nearby demon was a top priority, as dictated by their superiors, but escorting the girl to safety would be a massive help for the team - if not for morale, then at least so they could engage with the knowledge that there wasn't a civilian in the crossfire.

Emi's nails dug into her palms as she thought of that.

"...It... might be best to go with Honda-san's suggestion," Emi offered her own opinion. It was natural that everyone wanted to guide the child to safety, but short of the entire group walking her back, she didn't like the idea of any one of them being along for even a second. Fighting a devil was virtually impossible alone, never mind when protecting a non-combatant at the same time. IT worried Emi that her clones hadn't detected anything as of yet, too.

And frankly, if anyone was to be appointed a potential target, Emi would rather it be Andrea. As long as that demon ensured the girl's safety, she could act as a beacon to draw any potential attacks away from the rest of the group. And while the demon's strength was a constant source of worry, Emi could hardly deny that Andrea was easily capable of shielding someone from harm. The safest place for anyone would ironically be at the side of that demon. Though ideally, there wouldn't [i]be[/i] an attack upon them to begin with, she feared that the young girl had probably witnessed enough horror today.
