[Natori keeps his eyes carefully on his onigiri as Chongyun replies. It's immediately clear that the answer to Natori's real question is: yes, he absolutely needs to be worried about Chongyun doing something stupid, reckless, and teenage. And yet...] ...I see.
I have to be honest that it's not the answer I was hoping to hear, but... [Surely it's better for Chongyun to have those sorts of convictions, even if he's doing something dangerous and kind while he's at it?] ...For your sake, and for the sake of the people you care about... I'm glad. I'd like it to be less dangerous, but... [Well, he was seventeen once, and he remembers how much he listened when Takuma-san and the others would tell him to go home, that the exorcist assemblies were no place for children (he listened not at all).
The smile he gives Chongyun is a small one, but it's far more genuine than the flashier, practiced, stage-ready grins he usually hands out, and it's certainly the most sincere he's worn tonight.]
But sometimes... it's easier to carry these things when you're not on your own. So please, rely on us when you can, okay?
