[Not now. Maybe not forever. That's good, right? When he notices how she looks, Kei's expression does soften a bit.]
I apologize, Miss Ochako. Nijimura, make sure she doesn't fall off, let me know if she gets sick...
[True to his word, he speeds off with an even greater speed than before, so that the bubble spell isn't broken before they at least reach the outskirts of the forest. The advantage of having been to the top is he knew exactly which direction they should be heeding.
The return is not triumphant, but it is brief, and when the colorless well and then city spreads before them, it does mean they have succeeded.]
Nanjo, you were the coolest guy around for like ten minutes, but I've gotta take that title away if I don't get to drive.
[Just so everyone's clear on this part: Nanjo was briefly cool. Surely, he cares about this. More importantly is Ochako being worse for wear, most definitely partly because what if she... y'know... voms all over the place??
Thanks Nanjo for giving Okuyasu this task of keeping everybody on the bike; he doesn't have enough hands to hold onto the bike and Ochako, so at the last moment before they speed away he shoves the wolf tooth in his pocket and leans forward to grab onto Nanjo's shoulders. Ochako is now trapped in a dude prison until they get back to town, but this is the best he can do on short notice.
It's not the wackiest part of this adventure, so there's that.]
[Ochako literally vomits rainbows, but no worries, friends. Nausea is a common occurrence for her! She can handle this!! She will just sit here quietly and stare intently at Nanjo's back as she tries to ward off the worst of it.
Except that's hard to do when she has someone encroaching into her personal bubble. The quarters are already cramped enough, thank you very much.]
I'm fine! [She elbows Okuyasu—gently, of course— in the hopes of pushing him back. All she needs is some fresh air, but she can't even manage to take her helmet off right now. This is the worst.] I'm not going to fall!
