This series had such a neat premise but it really flogged itself off with this NTR creepy chick continuing to try and steal Ichigo every chapter for the last like five. Oh well.
Well at least they seem to both be thinking about each other now. Honestly wish the last three chapters the NTR queen and her minion would just fuck off and let them be together but we all know that wont happen.
Well NTR Chick has been pining (ch.1), kabedoning (ch.3) (and scheming) since the beginning. She does a good job of being irritating but also helps pit Ichigo's unhealthy desire to do what literally any Epicurean demands, against her real growing feelings for Shizuku. Ditto for Shizuku's following of traditions.
Based on Ichigo's subservience, she "should" be OK with doing what a more powerful vampire demands of her, but it doesn't seem like she is and she has to understand where that conflict comes from. And Shizuku "should" be fine with sharing, but she isn't. "NTR chick" works as a method of showing that Ichigo's relationship with Shizuku is "chosen love," and not just a result of following orders and traditions (therefore, less problematic).
She's definitely annoying, though, mainly because in most situations like these the preyed-upon party does not reciprocate, so the likelihood of success is low. With Ichigo's servant mentality, there seems a real possibility that she would indeed just go along with whatever NTR chick demands of her (and she has so far). It's like dealing with a significant other who has been brainwashed or under mind control. She's come pretty far though (the symbolism of how she handles the drink-can from ch3, compared to now, showcasing that added personality and disobediance).
