[ It... had been a complete accident. Kaelas had always been one to encounter trouble looking for him in any form. Whether it's a random drunken man trying to take on more than he can chew or even girls giving him weird looks whenever he passes by, and... other unsavory types trying to get him into their seedy establishment.
He wasn't expecting a falling girl from the sky, whereupon he instinctively caught her due to the fact that...
Well, he had to save a person in need of help, and she... definitely does. ]
Um.
[ ...Except this never happened to him until now so. ]
Now don't get her wrong. This isn't the beginning of a Nisio Isin novel, but it is true that she had been ghost hunting. And by ghost hunting, she doesn't mean the kind that children dare each other to do on cold summer nights when homework is still at the back of their minds. Truly, she had been ghost hunting. She was the apprentice of onmyouji, after all, and once she let that information slip, there was no getting out of the hole of requests. The slip on the rooftop only brings her out of the loop and full circle. Splatting to the ground would certainly put an end to her responsibilities. However, dying from a trivial matter is far from the ideal. If she had perished while pretending to be a magical girl, Andersen would surely laugh. A silly, trivial death with no purpose at all! Even if she was meant to be less hero and more supporting cast, what kind of story would that be? Denying her fate and rejecting this plot twist, she begins gathering all her mana to summon a cloud—
Only to fall into someone's arms. ]
Oh!
[ She adjusts her glasses. This isn't another ghost, is it? ]
[ The face looking at Murasaki is at least easy on the eyes, as he's still looking a bit stunned when he replied: ]
Fine! Actually. Uh, wasn't expecting a girl to just fall from the sky, but well. Here we are!
[ At least he's good natured enough to make light of this situation and smile. Considering how Kaelas, Warrior of Light, has been in a lot of weird situations... This is just a drop in the bucket that's his life.]
As luck would have it, yes. I am not hurt in any way, especially since you came to my rescue. Thank you. Though I suppose it was not an endeavor you chose... My apologies.
[ She's still holding onto him. What? This is like, her dream. ]
[ It's okay, he's not letting go either until she either requests him to do so or he gets awkward enough to notice it.
He isn't right now.
Because there's one insensitive thought in his head growing and it's... "...She's surprisingly light." ]
Oh, there's no need to apologize, milady! Far be it from me to look away from one in distress! But perhaps we should figure out a way to stop this from happening next time, aye?
