[And Akira wants to retort back, that there are ways to build trust that don't involve throwing himself into danger, that it honestly makes him feel a bit like a child that Akechi thinks he needs to do this, but he backs down at the end of Akechi's speech.
He's really trying, that much is clear. And maybe this is the only way he can really think of to show his regret. Akira can't exactly think of anything better, or offer any other solution; at least not one that Akechi would find easy to meet, with his limited grasp of his own emotions.
So... after a moment of thinking on it, after tamping down his own feelings of inadequacy and stung pride... he decides that it's alright. He'd rather Akechi do this, than resort to something more self-destructive.
And besides, if he's with Akira when something bad is happening, that means Akira can keep an eye on him, too.]
...Alright. Fine.
[There's a pause, and he grins, a little mischievious.]
Guess it'll be nice to have a helper, when I'm trying to keep the town safe.
