The gist of Akito's statement was that since Leila controlled the drones--which actually offered combative value as opposed to Leila who couldn't contribute as much if she was engaged in combat--Akito should keep Leila alive "until the drones are destroyed" to increase their survival probability, implying that Leila herself gives no combat powress without the drones. The blush was because Leila had incorrectly assumed Akito's asking her to stay close to him as having romantic implications and then realized that Akito was evaluating the usefulness of Leila's survival in the battle. He was basically saying "as soon as the drones are demolished, you can die".
