"I made a calculated plan to attempt and provide an opening for the captive agent to vet out of the spirit's arms by forcing it to protect itself with its scythe. I didn't wish to make it appear as if I was willing to sacrifice the other agent, as it was quite the opposite. I didn't believe it would be a valid option to follow what a spirit says and then believe that she would just let the other agent go without harming her, seeing she believes that all humans need to die."

Chou said all of these while activating her protective territory. Unfortunately, due to her explaining more than paying attention to the incoming rockets, a rocket struck her protective territory and made it shatter, as well as send her forward. She then realised that explaining herself at this moment wont be the wisest of idea's, and went into focusing on dodging the other rockets by flying further away from the other AST agents, where she had the space, instead of risking bumping into another agent and then making them both exposed to incoming attacks.

She then just barely noticed the unbelievable. The spirit had released the AST agent on the ground beneath them. This made her shocked for one moment too many and another rocket exploded near her, with the explosion damaging her CR unit. Slowly Chou saw herself going down towards the ground, until she was near the red haired agent who was just released "I'm sorry." She told the other agents before moving to lay still on the ground, feeling that her arm might have a fractured bone and didn't want to risk making it worse.

Yoshikuni raised an eyebrow. So he wasn't a local, but he was raised there. That was interesting. Shen gave him a little smile "A native, but also not. Thats interesting. And as for me, well, I tend to be a bit curious about things that others are merely talking about. So I had to go and investigate." She told him.

She took a glance at the direction of the girl from before. Yoshikuni felt a bit bad for suddenly leaving the way she did, so she considered going back before seeing a young girl approach her. Deciding she will be just fine, she returned to look at the man "Even if you were a bad man, I would'vd been just fine. I know how to handle myself just fine." She added, speaking in a light tone while noticing her shadow was touching his, even if it was just barely. This made her nice.
