He's pretty sure the feeling is mutual; there's no doubt he's the least trusted guy within this age range that their group knows. Yet... he isn't sure whether to embrace the small feeling of relief or that sinking feeling of dread. On one hand, this is someone he will (begrudgingly) admit is likely way more suited to exercising the required patience. Tch.
Finally, he just settles on the "neither" option for now. As always, she's trying to take some form of control over the situation -- it isn't just her voice that's bossy, after all. He also doesn't want to admit how right she was in her suggestion, and yet it seems it really was the right one. Akechi follows the kids at a distance as they rush to stand a little closer to the stranger.
One of the boys has instantly brightened up, only to get shoved a bit sideways by the other little boy. The latter announces there's no way he's gonna lose to some loser. The little girl is too busy beaming up at this new person... She begins gushing at her hair and talking about how she wants hers to look that way...
Meanwhile, Akechi puts on a bright smile as he chimes in, "I think the winner should go against the newest member of this group! Of course, I'd be amazed if any of you could beat her!"
Yes, he's gesturing to you, Makoto Niijima~ Seeing as the boys are suddenly that much more excited about the race, it's now a matter of agreeing or crushing their newly found hopes and dreams. They even seem to have forgotten how much they're supposed to hate Akechi, so this is clearly the equivalent of some kind of strange opportunity of a lifetime to them. He doesn't get what's so amazing about it, but it seems like he was right to shove her further into the role of distracting the brats.
