"Don't worry about me! Please calm down, Excella."
Takashi was glad that Excella was angry on his behalf as if she was the one who was being criticized.

Takashi was relieved. They had spent a lot of time building a relationship with the Nephira and the other demons. He really wanted to avoid such a dangerous settlement as killing everyone.
