[ Souji pauses right before they pass through the exit, eyebrows furrowed. He can't really explain it, but there's some sense of power past this point. ]
[Akira comes to a stop when Souji talks, because despite being the "leader" for this mission, he isn't the first one to sense that powerful presence. but now that it's been pointed out to him, his expression shifts into something more business-like and determined. already he's running through several different strategies in his head, and he bets Minato and Souji are doing the same. instinct, you know?]
Minato-- keep your healing spell at the ready, just in case. Okay?
[he adjusts his gloves over his fingers, hands flexing into fists]
Souji and I will take front line offense, but protecting Minato comes first. Okay?
[ He says this very solemnly to Minato. It's hard to say whether he's joking or not, but he's also never been risking his life to save someone he didn't know completely, so. He might really mean it. ]
But if we keep it occupied, that should get that job done.
[He...can't really say he's a big fan of this set-up. He gets why that's the order Akira gives, but... being the Protected One doesn't really sit well with him. So he makes a faint face, but... nods in response to Akira's question.]
I'll be ready for healing and support.
[He'll focus on that first and foremost.
......... as for Souji....
A bland look:]
... Uh... thanks, I think. But please don't; Samarecarm is more costly to use.
[Akira flashes Minato what's supposed to be a reassuring smile]
All joking aside, yeah. Of course.
[and then said smile gains a bit of an edge, the corners of his mouth curving upwards, almost excitedly]
Let's go.
[and with that? Akira is the first to dart through the doorway and into the next car. which is just as much of a mess as the previous ones. across the hallway stands another conductor Shadow, who straightens and yells out as soon as it sees the trio of protags. Halt, thieves! the Shadow cries, before its form begins to melt away to reveal one of these minibosses standing in its wake]
[there's only one, and the wild cards may have it outnumbered, but. . . Minato and Souji know how challenging midbosses can be, right?]

... Are we all ready?
no subject
Yeah.
He feels it too, frowning a little at the exit.]
... Yeah, I think so. Let's be prepared for the worst, though; we don't have as many options as we're used to.

Don't worry; I made sure to bring plenty of coffee if worse comes to worst.
[THUMBS UP!1]
[don't worry fellow protags, Akira has you covered]
If Seta gets knocked out, we'll jolt him back to life with a shot of espresso.
no subject
Sure. I'm game.
[ Of course he is. ]

Minato is the only one who doesn't seem to like this plan.]
