Everyone gave Shuu doubtful looks when he told them that he would bring Caelis out himself. He knew that these looks of doubt meant well, but he could not help but pout as he looked around.
Secretary Ann was a realist, so he quickly decided to address the looks that Shuu was getting.
"Shuu, no one here is doubting your sincerity, but even you have to admit that you are not the best person for this job. We need to get out of here quickly, and carrying Caelis would only hinder your speed. Maybe you should let someone else carry him-"
"Well, if you can take him away from me without causing a disaster, then you can try."
Shuu offered as Secretary Ann moved toward Caelis. He tried to keep the esper calm by using his guiding, but that had the opposite effect of what he wanted.
Instead of calming down, Caelis looked even more distressed, and he tightened his grip on Shuu's body.
