Well, she'd be a pretty sorry excuse for an undercover type if she seemed like it, right? [She lets out a little awkward laughter. Mahiru misses her too. Well, at least Fuyuhiko is insinuating she's alive.] I mean... I've been overthinking this, I guess. Obviously a secret agent has to have some kind of excuse to be good at beating up bad guys. Hinata doesn't have any cover story at all! Sonia-chan as the only foreigner would be way too suspicious, and she kept turning down opportunities to manipulate us. Souda could be faking the crybaby thing to cover up for something but he's legitimately good with all sorts of machines - I mean, I guess that might sorta be relevant. Hotwiring cars, picking locks, hacking. I don't know, he could fix fridges too, it just seems like he wouldn't bother learning that stuff if he had this job. He's so lazy! And then Chiaki-chan...

[Mahiru had dismissed a lot of these possibilities out of hand. She latched onto the possibility of Akane like a steel trap when the "excuse for physical prowess" angle occurred to her. This is the first time she's actually thought was the traitor in our midst Chiaki Nanami, and the smile freezes on her face.]

She's so nice to everybody...

[Her eyes almost twitch as she looks to Fuyuhiko for confirmation because wait, no--]

Even Monomi...
