With that many Magi in the city, you would think rumors about Nagi would have formed especially due to some of the high-profile targets she has gone after.

"That's weird. I never encountered something like that happening when I worked with the Protectors. Though the group I was with generally cordoned off the areas in which the beasts would appear so I guess that was also meant to prevent things like this from happening." Nagi spoke with a nonchalant tone. "However... the big one? I'll ask you to fill me in on that once I get out of the shower then." She got up out of her seat as the guy from the other building walked in explaining that he had made a contract with Astros. She simply clicked hee tongue and watched as she made her way to where she had been directed. It was at this moment when she noticed Vixen passing a canteen of water to the girl she had saved. Nagi chuckled to herself as she saw this. Even after all of that grandstanding, you're still a big softie, huh? Textbook tsundere right there. She continued onwards as she walked out to the shower. She needed to loosen some of the fatigue after all.

I will make sure Setsuna stays away from the playboy. She's the type to get swept up in his pace.

[[Dominic/Important Action]] The girl was sitting there. She was definitely trembling violently. Setsuna ended up stopping in her tracks right behind her. What am I doing? Every second I am not going after that Johnson guy is a second he could possibly be using to get further away. She crossed her arms and furrowed her brow for a second. "Muuuu-mu." Dammit, empathy. You win this time. She reached forward to the trembling girl. "Excuse me...miss? Are you alright? Do you need any help?" Stupid conversation initiation awkwardness.

Only if we can make the romcom absurdly awesome.

So I take it the whole "Not my girlfriend" thing is going to become a running gag. I hope so.

Kindle is now sleeping on a mattress with a blanket over her courtesy of Nagi. On another note, I don't know when I will be able to post again as it all depends on whether or not I get good WiFi in Florence.

Nagi set down her rifle case in a corner and carefully placed the girl she was carrying on a comfortable sleeping position on a mattress before putting a blanket on her. She then took off her trenchcoat and sat down on one of the sofas. "I have three questions. The first is 'Why is there such a weird gathering of magi and non-combatants in one place? I honestly doubt that it is because of that on beast?" She paused and looked at herself. "Also, does this place have working showers or a bath? I haven't really gotten a chance to take a shower in the past couple of days." She scratched her head before giving a sheepish smile. "You don't really get the chance to do so when you spend two days tailing somebody while waiting for the best opportunity to stealthily put a bullet between his eyes. Lastly, I take it that you have no problem with me staying here for the night. This is honestly more convenient than heading back to one of my own bases."

After Vixen gave her answer, Nagi contemplated it for a second and sighed. "I guess that's the best answer you will probably give so I will live with that. That being said it wouldn't be prudent to stay in my transformed state for too long." She snapped her fingers on the hand that was holding the unconscious girl and a light formed around her before shattering to reveal her original form--a twintailed girl in a trenchcoat. "I am glad to see that you aren't so far fallen as to reject her gratitude." Nagi gave a longing and peaceful smile. "On the other hand, I would advise against underestimating someone you just met as you can see, looks can be very deceiving." At that moment, Bobby began to complain about his dizzy spell. "Idiot. You shouldn't be in your transformed state unless there is a need for it and that need passed long ago. Cancel your transformation before your stamina is completely drained."

Well considering that Nagi has been a highly Magi for at least two years, she has definitely increased her transformation time though nobody thinks that considering that Nagi looks like she is 13 or 14. Anyway, my next post should come soon. It will take some time as I will be typing it on my phone.

Actually, how long is average transformation time? Well, I am on a plane now so I don't think I will be able to check back for a while.

Hope he gets well soon. Not much I can do aside from offering my sentiments. Waiting to board at an airport is boring.

9/10 I really like the style on this one.

There. Done. Now I shall just lie in wait. Nagi resents being referred to as part of the band of idiots though.

As Vixen was breaking free of Bobby's grasp, Nagi noticed a girl, who she assumed to be the one Vixen had saved, approaching the group. After Vixen had broken free of Bobby's grasp in quite a quick manner and replied, Nagi turned back to face her. "So, tell me. Are you going to accept that girl's gratitude or are you going to allow her to force herself to do whatever it takes to get you to accept it?" Nagi's expression turned grim as she molded it into one she used for intimidation. "Because if you choose to reject it, I guarantee you that I will beat you into the ground until you accept it."

I just want to make one last post before you that. Just so I can close up with what Nagi is saying...as soon as I get home.

Sagely advice to the loner ignored. That hurts right in the kokoro.

Aaaaand Vixen just totally ignored everything Nagi just said, huh.

Before Nagi could retort at the ridiculous comments being flung around, the loudmouthed one pushed the unconscious girl in his hands onto her. Seriously, I look like I'm 13 here. What if I lost my damn balance, idiot? Resisting her urge to say that to at the boy, she attempted to hang the girl's body over her free arm and sighed. "This isn't a matter of what you feel you are owed. I can guarantee from experience that people who have someone to feel gratitude to are willing to go to the ends of the earth to at least express it and sometimes, it doesn't end well." She gave a melancholic look to the woman who was being manhandled. "Take it from someone who has experienced that. It's better to accept the gratitude of someone you saved rather than reject or defer the payment. Save her the trouble. She is just one of those good people who lives in the world outside of our darkness, after all." "On another note, can someone get the other girl who blue-hair here had said she saved? I kinda have my hands full here."

Well, damn. I was going have Nagi to make one more argument before Ozzy did anything rash.

Nagi will continue her attempt as soon as I get back to my computer.

I am surprised Ozzy wasn't a bit disturbed by the hit job metaphor. NOTE: Nagi is still in her transformed state. She still looks like a 13-14 year old.
