"Come on, you're hurt. At least let me help you," Anon says.

"E-eh?," the girl manages.

"Let me see that," Anon says. He maintains a polite smile as he walks closer.

"Just go away!," she shouts. As she cringes again in pain, a tear flows down her cheek.

It doesn't look like she can stand, much less fly. Anon kneels down and examines her leg carefully.

"Hmmm, I'm not sure, but it looks like you twisted your ankle pretty badly. Hope nothing is broken," Anon says.

The girl just stays silent. Anon sighs.

"Don't you look at me with pity, you dirty human!," she says. Her spirit is quite admirable.

Anon sighs and bends down to lift her up. She quickly pushes him away.

"Don't touch me! I'll kill you!", she says.

"I'm heading to Kourindou. I think we can find something for your leg there," he says.

"Yeah, the owner there is a kind person. But why should I trust you?" the girl retorts.

Anon pauses. She may look like a little girl, but Marisa said that even weaker youkai can easily overpower a human. He needs to say something convincing.

"That's because I'm a magician," Anon says.

Hearing this, her face turns white. The girl tries to crawl away, but she makes little progress due to her injury. Anon rubs his temple in irritation.

"I said I'm here to help, dammit!," he shouts. "If I wanted to hurt you, I would already have done so. Now do you want some help or not?"

The girl pauses and looks back at Anon. She nods slowly as she wipes the tears from her eyes.

"Alright, then hold on tight. Hang on to these while we're walking," he says as he passes her the staff and book.

Like an obedient child, she takes the items and holds on. With the girl on his back, he starts walking towards the path.

"So what's your name?," Anon says.

"Wriggle," she whispers.
