Given that Kasumi has shown that she isn't really interested in romance and only wants friends, I feel like you're just reading into things you want to see and are going to be disappointed either way.
Especially with how obsessed you seem to be about the story's future and it demanding it play out in one particular way instead of just enjoying it as it happens.
If every character who declared, "They weren't interested in romance" stuck to that, it would destroy, the plot to 90% of romcoms, and shoujo romance, stories.
I just don't want to read 20+ chapters of Kasumi leading her growing harem through the same old tired plots, hot springs/public baths trips, school festivals/plays, shopping trips, visiting sick friends, cooking lessons, sleep overs, and don't forget the ever popular candy exchange on valentine's day (an absolute must, for this kind of manga), and have it go nowhere. If the author can deliver an in interesting climax, without a romantic hookup, I'm on board, otherwise make with the kissy face.
Hey, I could be totally wrong, and the author could surprise me, and go in completely new direction, but from what I've seen so far, I don't think so.
