In Tracen, I'm Good at Doing Time

"Oguri Cap's trainer."

A little digging would have told her that much.

Several trainers had descended on the Student Council.

Every one of them had hoped to exploit its special privileges.

"Oh, right. I remember."

Perhaps he was simply thirsty. After a livestream and a long walk, even a
