Although Airi was very unwilling to let Nagisa leave with Akatsuki Gashiro, Nagisa truly had a good relationship with her grandmother. Before they had gone to Kagami Island, Nagisa had visited the shrine every year for training. After all, she herself was a spirit medium with considerable power. More training would benefit Nagisa, while Airi specialized in magic and did not know much about spirit mediums. Everyone had their own field of expertise. Though she was unhappy, she did not stop her.
Still, Airi was very unhappy.
She had never liked Akatsuki Gashiro. It was not because of his attitude toward her, but because she looked down on what he did. She knew that Akatsuki Gashiro had been investigating the legacy of Holy Annihilation, and she could vaguely guess that he was preparing for the danger about to descend upon this world.

Airi's assessment, however, was—an idiot.
Just like Jones, Laura, and Drake. When you watched movies or played games, you thought it was cool, handsome, and thrilling when they ventured alone into ancient tombs to explore.
