[Matsui is quick to follow orders, half-said as they may be in this case. If nothing else, he's quick on his feet, quick to adapt, quick to survey what they're dealing with and figure out the best way forward.
He doesn't waste any time as the Siren turns toward Hayame now, shrieking in - fury? Upset? Something as she wrenches the arrow from its sticking point just below her collarbone with her one free hand, now bleeding sluggishly in the chill of the air from two points. Matsui can feel his legs buckle for a split-second as she starts up with her song again, but fortunately - well, fortunately for him, this time - her attention is still on Hayame.
Even like this, it's hard to keep a grip on his faculties. He can feel his thoughts starting to drift away, and he can only cover one ear if he has even a thin hope of utilizing his blade. But he has a mission of sorts to focus on, at least, and it's that single point of concentration that he can seize and focus on.
His feet carry him closer, with more control and precision this time than the last. He brings the blade up and darts in for a side-sweeping attack, though his aim isn't fatal. He wants to be able to push this Siren back, too, rather than ending her life.]
