Here you go. A typical T-san story.

One night, some plans fell through last minute, so I decided to head out to my secret fishing spot—this quiet bridge just outside town. It’s the perfect place for night fishing. Always peaceful. Always good bites.
That night was perfect. I was pulling fish like crazy. Everything felt just right… until suddenly it didn’t.
Out of nowhere, I got hit with this wave of cold. Like something was watching me.

I tried to shake it off. Didn’t want to give up my lucky streak. Then someone spoke up behind me.
“You out here fishing too?”
I turned around and there was this middle-aged guy in a business suit just standing there.
“Yeah,” I said. “Fish are biting pretty good tonight.”
He smiled. “So I’ve heard.”
“You here to fish (tsuri) too?” I asked, trying to keep the conversation going. Something about him felt… off.
He paused. “…Something like that.”

The whole time, I couldn’t stop thinking about how weird it was. Who goes fishing in full business attire, at night, in the middle of nowhere?

"You're not gonna hang (tsuri)?"

It was his voice—no, it was coming from above me.
"Come on, you hang too."
Trembling with fear, I looked up.
And there he was.
Hanging.

He wasn't talking about fishing.

Before I could even react, the air got thick. Shadows appeared all around me—dozens of them.
Whispering in my ear, "Let's hang together... Hang with us..."

"That's enough."

It was a voice I recognized.
It was T-san. A templeborn, with crazy strong spiritual senses.
He stepped between me and the shadows, pulled out a fishing rod, and shouted "Haa!!"
The fishing line flashed with this blinding light, and when he swung it, it sliced through the shadows like a sword, cutting them down one by one!
After he had taken care of some of the shadows, he muttered a spell and light exploded through the area, and in the blink of an eye, the shadows were completely wiped out.

“You night fishing too, T-san?”, I asked.
He pointed at me and said, “Yeah. Though I hooked a pretty small one tonight.”

On the way home, he told me that bridge was a known suicide spot. A place where one hanging leads to another.
"Looks like the sun's up. Might go fishing for some girls in town."
Saying that he hopped in his car with a smile and drove off like it was nothing.
And I stood there, thinking to myself:
"Man, templeborns are amazing..."

I don't get it... Subtlety is not my strong suite, so I am unsure what just happened? Especially with this writer and that stunt over the hanky... So The Yuta has him close his eyes, and when he opens them, he is looking at Higa and panics, but is it him "noticing" her, or is he still just guilty for staying up all night? I don't get it...

No, it's him noticing Kaanaa. It's not that subtle. If you watched the anime, the scene is even more obvious (the memories are all Hiina focused until he sees Kaana at the end, as opposed to the mix of memories in the manga).

Take this in conjunction with the cooking class chapter, it's even moreso obvious. Teeru is starting to catch the feels for Kaanaa.

I think it's because his feelings for Hiina closely overlap or basically him confusing his feelings for Okinawa in general. When he met Kaana for the first time, the culture shock hadn't set in yet.

Then he went to school and it hit him all at once he's in a different place, so it's easy to attach to someone like Hiina who's welcoming him and willing to be a tour guide and show off Okinawa culture to him.

Now that he's settled into his new home, the need for the tour guide diminished, and now I think he's starting to notice Kaanaa, since aside from looking out for him, their connection goes deeper than just "learning Okinawa."

i dont really care about the romance too much in this series, because even if the series sells itself as a rom-com, its kinda weak in that aspect

but man, i love Kana, if she gets her happy love, im gonna be so happy
