"You're not that traitor, are you?"

"You're not that traitor, are you?"

Once again Seki tried to confirm something that made her heart fall a while ago. The pain was stifling chest as she saw Hono staring back at her with an innocent face. A pinch of doubt arose, does it make sense that someone as gentle and as good as Tamura Hono has the heart to torture her friends?

Even with Hono, she couldn't hide her surprise when Seki asked that unexpected question. But even though she was silent for a split second, she quickly regained control.

"Why did you suddenly say it was me?" she answered, her hand stroking the meowing head of the kitten gently in her hand. She looked back, at the crushed components lined up on the floor. Seeing that Hono nodded understandingly. "Are you looking for your SSD? I brought it. I secure all your data on my hard disk just in case."

Hono stepped past Seki to lower the kitten down on the bed. The ginger little creature initially looked shy as it emerged from the paperbag. She lowered her head, looking at any strange place in her eyes. But when Hono stretched out her hand, the kitten immediately approached and rubbed his face there, almost like his mother.

She did not listen to Seki's answer at all. Yes, it should be natural for her. Seki herself is a person who doesn't talk too much. But this time Seki's silence scared her half to death. She was afraid that her own lover would accuse her of being a traitor.

So she left the kitten and turned to face Seki. "Yumiko... all of this is making us confused. I know, I feel the same way as you. We accuse each other, it's not the right thing."

"Said someone who had accused her own colleague at the hospital."

"Good. At that time I couldn't control myself. After facing Karin who was annoying, it was also Yui's stupidity who still protected Karin. But really, if you accuse me too, I don't know what else will happen to The Elites next. "

Seki stared at Hono closely. Looking for a speck of a lie that she might have missed there. But no matter how carefully she investigated Hono, she could not find any lies within her. For a moment she felt guilty because she had accused Hono, but in such a situation who wouldn't?

"Now the traitor has been discovered. She will no longer play with us. It may take us a few days to make sure everything is back to normal. If it really is Karin, there should be nothing after this." Hono finished her words.

Without her own awareness Hono hid her hands in front of her chest as a defensive form. It was intended so that she didn't play with her fingers and showed Seki that she was nervous. Especially when Seki was silent and seemed to be trying to find the point of lies on Hono's face.

Seki nodded in agreement. It made sense, and Hono arguably got a white mark on her note. Looking back at the neatly arranged components of her new computer, she turned around and opened a box. "Help me build this computer."
