This feels like it's building to something.
I'm not falling for this again, you can't trick me.
I know the author isn't going to make them an official couple yet.

Hino in heels!?
Also. Kiss heeeer! (but I appreciate she didn't do it while she was sleeping)

Man, I can't wait to see what happens now >.<. Koguma looks very much open to the idea of crossing that line, if a little apprehensive, which is understandable. Hino seems to have a lot of emotional baggage though and I fear she'll do the whole ''I don't deserve to be with you'' thing. Stay tuned I guess! Also, holy cow does Koguma look like Andre the Giant next to Koguma when she's wearing heels XD

Black and light brown, like a bear ;)

I know this is a big moment but all I could think was that Hino's heels are really accentuating the height gap. Poor little Koguma.

Her legs seem almost silly long as-is, the heels are a bold addition.
Also she looks really nervous and bashful IMO.

Let's goooo! We're so close to the next step! I'm glad Hino stopped herself. We've always been shown that Hino always gets Koguma's consent no matter how outrageous her requests were so this falls in line with how her character has been so far

Nice call. But I saw them as pink when I read this. On reflection, maybe light blue.

idiot couple indeed! just marry each other already lmao

“Hino-san’s hand feels so nice . . .”

You ain’t seen nothin’ yet, Kogu . .

Technically she hasn't even seen that, since here eyes were closed. On the other hand, metaphorically speaking she also hasn't felt what Hino's hand could really do yet. They barely scraped the surface, if you will.

It's time to evolve into your final forms.

It's an idiom, man!

Oh my god is it actually gonna happen? It seems like there’s a good chance for them to get in a relationship for real this time

ACTUAL PROGRESS YESSSSSSSSSS

Glad there's some p r o g r e s s, but somehow it feels too good to be true. Expecting a few "comedic" backsteps coming soon, though I really hope I'm wrong xD

I. Am. Ready. For. The. Fakeout.

(pls don't do it mister author)

Given the author, that's a pretty safe bet, but I dunno--this chapter felt really serious to me.

Yeah, I noticed that as well. It almost feels unnatural for this story. That's why I'm so skeptical, I'm constantly waiting on some kind of punchline, because the serious tone of the chapter feels so out of place. I hope the tone means the progress isn't going to quickly regress, but we'll see.
