PS: Today's update.
PS: Ribbit!
PS: Today was the last day of the month. Did everyone still have any free blades? If you didn't use them today, they'd be cleared at midnight.
Ichika: I had an ominous feeling. Did you too, Kushida-senpai? Go!
Though Hachiman paused for a moment, he still asked the question.
As the commander, he had more time to think, and Hashimoto's betrayal of Class A was an indisputable fact.
Hachiman would not underestimate Sakayanagi either, so she had probably confirmed that Hashimoto was the traitor long ago.
