[His eyes widen in exaggerated shock and offense.]
How awful! What terrible betrayal...! But I'm afraid you're out of luck, since I haven't said anything the slightest bit incriminating. All I did was show you videos and share basic facts, such as Nagisa-kun's love of traveling! I'm always one step ahead of everyone, so you'll have to work harder than that to catch me saying something I shouldn't have.
[In reality, he loves running his mouth so much that it wouldn't be impossible. And this is of course ignoring the elephant in the room: that if Elan wanted to blackmail him, all he'd have to do is spread the word about that fling they had. Not everyone would believe him without proof, of course, but even mere rumors can sew doubt...
But there's no point in entertaining that "betrayal." Not when Elan-kun seems content with his peripatetic existence. He wouldn't go to a tabloid seeking fifteen minutes of fame; he seems to want to be left alone, really, which Hiyori thinks is sort of sad. But he won't be alone, since Hiyori and his unit will be at the inn with him! And he'll be on his best behavior around them.
