Kurumi realizing she's lusting for Yoroizuka but don't want to let her know her true feelings out of concern she wouldn't want it and would be disturbed that her underage girlfriend has repressed sexual feelings for her.

I fucking love Kurumi's gay panic attack's logic.

"Forward panic", which makes you progress to the next step in your relationship, as opposed to the usual backward gay panic.

I just realized, this is the second Valentine chapter, so at least a year has passed. And it was a year between Kurumi's confession, where she still has her high school uniform, and them going out. So is she like a 3rd year? Cause if so she isn't that far from graduation now.

Or more likely I'm overthinking the timeline.

I need chapter 26 NEEEOOOWWWWW!!!!

Real.

I think it's going to be "she got too hot and flustered in the bath" but I can dream

Yoroizuka-san is gonna be the one to pass out from overheating this time, isn't she?

and they both drowned

Plot twist. This entire chapter is Kurumi having a lewd dream after she immediately passed out upon seeing a naked Yoroizuka-san.

don’tpassoutdon’tpassoutdon’tpassoutdon’tpassoutdon’tpassoutdon’tpassout

Yeah, but if she passes out then a route opens up for them to sleep together

areola slip !!!

wait a minute, Yoroizuka! you ain't suppose to pass out! that's Kurumi's job!

"Kurumi-san...please...! I need to gtfo before I overheat from this warm bath" faints

as with everyone calling it, she's going to pass out and kurumi is going to carry her out making the true progression go like: let's take a bath together- no let's hug- no ok let's take a bath- no overheating-cuddling aka hugging. It's just a circle

Hnnnnng. Putting a cliffhanger right there is evil.

It was all but an evil plot by Kurumi so they could share a bed after Yoroizuka passes out from the heat.
Very cunning when she's runnin' out of patience this one.
Thanks for the chapter!

Better to pass out in a bathtub from heat, than to pass out from being drunk

Yoroizuka is gonna remember everything

I like the way you think (͠≖ ͜ʖ͠≖)

I call bait, and how on earth is she supposed to carry her to bed with those skinny arms

Come on! You can't end the chapter there!

Never underestimate the power of gay.

I don't want to be one of those people who overthink those silly/comedy plots, but how is sleeping together a nono while this is perfectly fine?

Well, regardless, I too bet this is just a bait. Still, a lot of baits nowadays go in a less obvious direction so I'm curious how that'll solve itself.

Agreed. That's a lot of gal there.

Prediction: She'll ask to get out of the bath because she's overheating

I think traditional Japanese culture views bathing, particularly same-sex bathing as more of a social or bonding thing rather than 100% sexual. I mean, they definitely know the implications (see: every manga scene where this happens), but I think that's part of the intended charm. Manga certainly has childhood friends having bathed together when they're young quite a bit. Which, at least for where I'm from, would still be pretty unthinkable except for siblings.

In this case, it's like a loophole. "Oh, we can't see each other naked because I'm underage and it's wrong to do that with prurient intent, but if we're just bathing together (in a wholesome and socially accepted way for girls and women to bond together)...and, I mean, you can't bathe with clothes on, now..."

Obviously, the extent to which you or I (or a court of law) see a substantive difference, well...
