I wish they hadn't done the "eat the messed food" bit. It's so... old and tired and done to death.

I think they do it at least once in every romcom in the shop. I have read some really old romcoms in my day, hetero for-boys stuff like from 30 years ago, and it's the second or third most used trick when they try to come up with a reason for the cute and popular girl to fall for the dumb nerd mc: she tries to cook something, messes up, but he eats it nonetheless and her heart goes pitter-patter for him. The only ploys that are even more commonplace are "she falls for him after she sees him feeding a stray kitten" and the absolute most popular "she falls for him 'cause one time he did for her some random everyday thing that was kinda nice" which ranks number one in all the charts.

For real, I wish they hadn't used such a silly (un)dead horse trope in a yuri manga that I like. There's no need to go there, dangit: Elsa is already head over heels for Evie and this for a long list of very good motives that have nothing to do with the old tired clichés of shounen romcom.

Honestly surprised the villainess system didn't kick in this chapter.

I'm worried what the system is going to do today. Hopefully it won't mess up the day now than it did earlier

In the next chapter, while in the theater, the system still not showing up for the rest of the chapter, lol

Yvonne looked pretty cute herself in that outfit...

Oh, she's definitely the real one on a whole other level today between the two.

I went on a picnic for my 6 year anniversary with my girlfriend. Cooked food and everything. Some of the food got messed up in transport and she did something similar. It still made me smile and think how much I love her. So yes, it’s a trope, but it’s a good one, IMO, cause it happens and people can relate.

No Villainess choices is really red falg as it just means whatever being is controlling it is just waiting to screw them over as hard as possible. Glad they were still able to make the most of the day even with the inconveniences.

Now I'm wondering whether the villainess system got fed up and decided to pick a new girl to order around that would actually pick the nasty choices

Just as I said, the misunderstanding only lasted until she explained where she got the tickets. No need for any long drawn out drama here. And the resulting good mood only brought them closer. ^_^

Where is your pfp from?

Bloom Into You volume 1 cover (or more specifically, clean version from the author's pixiv).

Thank you

The author said the story will be wholesome all the way through. With a bit of suspension thrown in; the type that will not lead to future angst.

This chapter teaches us another important life lesson about relationships: it takes two to tango. Elsa did her best to protagonize the heck out of their date, but in the end, it was up to Evie to carry it to success, and all it took was just to reach out and to take a bite. You cannot make a date or a relationship work all on your own... but you can make it as easy for the other person as you can, and if they simply choose to reach out to you, everything will snap into place.

So no, I didn't find this scene trope-y or trite. Tropes are just tools, and this was the right tool at the right time, with Evie fully committing to making her relationship with Elsa work (even though, dense as she is, she still probably isn't consciously aware of it).

Certainly if you also read the added web novel context notes.
