Not to mention that Guangyou is currently just a collaborator of dubious origin.

Although the two had a good relationship in private, Judy did not answer Kōyū's question because of this.

Her silence made Guangyou realize that his question was somewhat abrupt.

After all, he was just a random squad, not part of the same regular army as Judy.

Even if the two had made an agreement, they still had to be wary.

Who knows, he might be a spy sent by the enemy?

The only people who can completely and unconditionally trust him are himself, Ai, Akemi, and a few others.

In reality, there aren't many people like that.

Realizing his mistake, Kōyū apologized to Judy.

"Feel sorry."

"The question I asked was somewhat sensitive."

He didn't naively tell Judy things like, "I'm a good person, you can completely trust me."

Such words are cheap; anyone can say them.

It's like the game "Werewolf".

Werewolves can also call him a villager, but whether he is a villager or not is not up to him to decide.

Similarly.

He said he was a good person, but an undercover agent can also say he's a good person.

If you can determine whether you can trust someone based on just one sentence, then you should probably consider changing careers.

So adorable!

Of course, there are also cases where it's due to absolute trust, like between him and Ai.

In response to Kōyū's apology, Judy waved her hand and said:

"I know you didn't mean it."

"But it's not that I don't want to tell you."

"only..."

The two had already revealed their true identities to each other.

There's no need to hide it anymore.

She took a small sip of her drink and said:

"However, you know, we can't trust people so easily because of our identities."

“Even when we’re interacting with our colleagues, we have to be a little wary.”

"In case the other party is an undercover agent who has infiltrated our ranks."

"so..."

"Feel sorry."

Seemingly worried that this might cause Kōyū to harbor resentment towards her and affect their relationship, Judy not only refused but also gave him a special explanation.

Guangyou was well aware of these things, and he expressed his understanding:

"I see."

"Sometimes even the people you think are closest to you will betray you for various reasons."

"I understand your choice."

"You have nothing to apologize for."

"I'm the one who should apologize."

"It is rather presumptuous of me to suddenly ask about your plans."
