He couldn't help but feel at least a little nervous when Aika opted to venture ahead towards the source of the gunshots.  Had she not urged him to stay behind, he would have likely went with her.  After all, it had been his assumption that the shooter was friendly and he would never forgive himself if somebody else got hurt because of his miscalculation.  Even if she went on her own accord free from his assessment.  Aika hadn't made it far before a figure rounded the corner, causing Daichi to raise his bow out of reflex.  Though the moment of anxiety was short lived as soon as the woman spoke Shizuka-sensei's name.  In its place was a broad grin and sense of accomplishment as his assumption had been spot on.<br/><br/>Daichi watched the reunion before him and began to wonder what sort of 'friend' Rika was to Shizuka.  For a moment his cheeks reddened as his mind wandered to more enticing scenarios.  Between Shizuka's legendary breasts and Rika's... well the only thing he could truly make out was the vague outline of her effeminate form, but there was something about her eyes that was almost hypnotizing.  Plus she had hair that was nearly the same color as his, which was a definite perk.  Picturing the two together was certainly something that stood a chance to help distract his mind from all the death and mayhem going on around them.  Though when Jacob was introduced he couldn't help but feel curious and jealous at the same time.<br/><br/>When they were lead outside to the yard that was effectively cleared of all zombie presence, Daichi stared slack jawed at the vehicle Rika and Jacob had brought with them.  "How the hell did they get an APC?!"  He glanced from the tank, to Jacob and Rika, then to Shine before hooking a thumb to the tank.  "If they're packing this sort of hardware on the streets, I'm voting for the apartment at least for tonight.  If they say it'll be a good place to hold up and plan our next step, there's plenty of evidence around us that adds an undeniable credibility to their judgment."<br/><br/>It was shortly after saying that when he noticed what appeared to had been a third member of their group laying on the ground with a bullet wound to the head.  It was a sobering sight, but it did nothing to make him change his mind  from going to Rika's apartment.  Daichi bowed his head to Rika, Jacob, and the third man.  "Thank you for coming for us.  I could only imagine the trouble we would have had trying to make it out of here on our own."  A meek smile traced his lips, figuring if they were going to be surviving together then they should at least know his name.  "My name is Daichi Hitoshi by the way."  From there he would wait until they began to load up before entering the APC.
