Rather than looking for that pointless-looking needle, Anko extended her hand to Mia and intended to help her stand up by pulling the cute girl's hand to get up, she also made sure by looking at her intently that the needle didn't hit her even if she threw it right in front of her face. At least the cute girl still had an effort to avoid it even though it wasn't easy.
"...." As soon as they shook hands and looked at each other, the two tried to smile thinly like nothing had happened.
"Mia, are you okay?" asked Anko confirmed with her worried expression and of course she kept asking him even though he had a thin smile.
Mia who didn't want this quarter-middle-aged girl to be constantly feared by Anko, immediately put on her gentle smile and shook Anko's hand then said to answer her, "Yes, it's fine." He said optimistically, and finally now he managed to stand and align with Anko.
