@Echonic This is the kind of setting where everyone is equally untrustworthy. If they look untrustworthy, don't trust them. If they look trustworthy, trust them even less than the obvious ones.
@HauntedPizza Sort of. In this setting, you can pretty blatantly act like you don't trust anyone. If you do that in the real world you'll piss people off when they feel like they should have earned your trust, and then they get annoying about it. Life in the real world is built upon the pretense of trust if not actual trust.
Huh. So it seems this first portion of this chapter isn't part of the novel, its a manga only original scene. I appreciate that tiddies but its quite admirable to see how dead-set Akira is in his goal.
(Spoiler) He doesn't have a romance with anyone (yet) even in the later chapters of the novel
@DeadCell no, that's in the novel. He walks in on Sara and Elena telling an exasperated Shizuka their story, she then guesses Akira's identity as the rescuer.
Apparently the meds Akira gave them reduced Sara's nanomachine consumption, so her boobs stay bigger longer.
@Glomoro Yeah that's can excellent point. I mostly mean it's best to act friendly and try to give people the benefit of the doubt, but it's good to always stay on your toes. There's lots of people out there that hide their true natures and intentions.
