I can't be the only one that spent the entire story wondering what happened to Remi and Flan, can I?
But, eh, decent take on a common plot
It's not just you, I couldn't figure out why the author even mentioned it. Certainly Meiling and Sakuya didn't seem particularly fussed, which is a bit odd for Sakuya at least.
Still, really good study of the two of them. Reminiscent of the last chapter of MariAli.
