Well, given the rather uneventful (but in my opinion, not particularly bad) chapter, it ended up culminating into me re-reading this for the 4th time, leading me to find Akari in the earlier chapters saying she didn't feel down because he turned her down, but would feel sad if he already had a girlfriend instead. Interestingly enough, it was foreshadowing.
I will feel disappointed if there isn't a major conflict beginning in the next chapter focused on Yuu x Touko, nonetheless.
I have to study, please ban me
