[Aww, she's cute. Like yes, he was teasing, but still: go off queen. For one, she is doing a good job on both their makeup.
And also, more interestingly (no offense to the art departments out there, he's just biased), it sounds like she's also exorcist-adjacent. She might see some distinction in the sort of creatures they're combating, but "ayakashi" is such a broad umbrella that something called a "disaster beast" should surely be covered, Natori thinks confidently as if he's the expert in both of their worlds.]
That's impressive! [He means it! There's still a slight bit of that "aged mentor (read: dude in his 20s in anime) humoring a teenager" energy, but that's more because he's talent making small talk with makeup. (And maybe because she snuck 'selfless' in there.)] And a close-range fighter, too. I can only manage a staff as a last resort.
[She seems a little young to have the highest mission clear count out of... whatever group she operates out of, unless it's like saying Seiji had the highest success rate out of the two of them when they were picking up odd jobs in high school. But he was picking up odd jobs in high school, so it's not like her age strikes him as that unusual. A little nostalgic, maybe. He was also pretty overconfident at that age. (Maybe not that overconfident.)]
...Bills for public destruction of property, huh. [Okay, that element isn't as institutionalized in his exorcist community-- but then again, she did say she was in a city. A lot more property around to destroy!]
no I love her
