That reminds me, I don't think Mimika answered when Shi-chan asked her first. In the following two chapters, Yuzumori's home visit, Mimika did wonder about it again, but she first convinced herself that naahhh I just think she's cute innocent kid. She did realise that she was attracted to her later, but before she could consciously come to a conclusion, she got distracted by Yuzumori slouching and then punched herself in the face.
Mimika does think about how it's socially unacceptable and knows it's wrong, and so indirectly acknowledges it, but to the actual question of "are you a lolicon?", she never directly answers.
And now from Yuzumori-san herself tho, how is this even gonna go lmao
Even if Yuzumori reciprocates, it doesn't make it any less "socially unacceptable" tho, Mimika still has to be responsible about it, Mimika can't really... be dating a 9-10 year old...? Man idk, Idk how this can go. Not just for how Mimika is gonna answer her, but how is their relationship gonna be after this. It's treated as comedy like half the time, but the other half is Mimika seriously worrying about it too, I think it'd be really pointless if suddenly, everything becomes "fine" and Mimika stopped worrying about it. It has been building up for so long, Mimika's character development was focused around that after all, it'd be silly if that tension was all thrown away >_> But I guess it was also written with a certain feeling of fluff and cuteness most of the time? I can't imagine the topic being juggled like that, going from fluff to angst and back, but that's pretty much how it's been going. Well I don't know what to expect, I hope it keeps being as interesting
