"Is she hurt?" Io follows us from behind, checking the girl on my back as if she's a car. She even pokes at her.
"Stop it!" finally the girl stop pretending she's unconscious, parrying the jabs with her arm. "I have let you know, I am the top of my class in Ninja Art. You'd be dead if I wanted to."
Io sighs with relief. "I thought the human is carrying your dead corpse."
She really thought I will carry a dead person around the city, huh?
We've met together just a few minutes ago. Her whole body was flickering and about to disappear until my phone buzzes and shut down. Sigh, I have to deal with my phone having no battery once again.
"Do you have any injury? This is important. After all, you'd be seeing our boss soon."
The girl buries her head in my shoulder. "Go away. I'm fine."
"In that case," I say, "I don't really need to carry you, right? Can you walk?"
