As soon as the pack of beasts poured forth, Kaida whirled round in midair. She held out her hands, ready to amass and shoot water, but Akira and Andrea had already sprung into action, as had Rika with an impressive shadow arm that flung one of the demons aside. Kaida's eyes widened as another beast managed to bite Rika, but for all its efforts, left no wounds. She gave a sigh of relief. Their new comrade wouldn't need healing, and had the skill to back up her claims.

At Natsumi's suggestion to enter the building from above, Kaida nodded. [color=53C6FF]"Yeah. Rika and Akira have got this."[/color] If she tried to snipe the beasts with high-pressure water bullets from this vantage point, there was a good chance she'd hit an ally by mistake. She flew after Natsumi through the gap in the roof, into the bare-bones structure of a building.

[i][color=0020FF]"This place doesn't look like it can take much damage,"[/color][/i] Kazemi warned. [i][color=0020FF]"Make sure there's a quick and easy way for both of you to escape if it collapses."[/color][/i]

Taking in the site's rickety state, Kaida winced. Temporary walls, scaffolding, and unfinished concrete pillars served as its only means of support. [color=53C6FF]"Uh... Not to be a downer, but Kazemi-sama's saying the building likely won't hold out long if a fight breaks out here,"[/color] she told Natsumi, keeping her voice low so any demons present wouldn't hear their approach. [color=53C6FF]"So we've gotta be careful, and make sure we can get out fast if the worst happens."[/color]
