"A rash kid who seems to want to risk her life and my reward. One point away from keeping her alive at the end." Akane could understand why the princess wanted to go and help, but it was still a stupid idea. Especially when everyone was split up. Akane frowned knowing this was a dangerous situation they were in. Like last time they couldn't protect the princess from herself and their own lack of cooperation.
Yuki's order to Akane didn't seem like a joke and of course the Demon Slayer didn't like babysitting inanimate objects. "I feel as if she told me not to keep her things safe. Oh well." She called out to the tree spirit to protect Yuki's stuff before running out after the Princess. The part where she had to run through the forest was already bad enough. Now she had to potentially contend with enemies there. Her Naginata wasn't great for combat in cramped spaces, but she had other weapons for that. She arrived with the others just as Yuki finished her statement.
"Stop...running...off. Our job is to protect you not chase you."
