Still curious on whether they are dating for real or this is all a game for the Belle Fleur? Don't get me wrong I like where this is going but seems like they are going to do it as an actual couple, not like payback and submitting so one of them is backing off from it...
Ramble too much- SESBIAN LEX!!!
Thanks for the TL
The whole point is that it's currently still 'a game', but that it's being (more blatantly as time goes on) hinted that Rui wants more than that, and that there's history between them that Sara doesn't currently remember.
But as it currently stands, Sara's whole goal is trying to make Rui submit so that she can claim the
Belle Fleur title and build a yuri harem out of their classmates. Rui stands in the way of that, hence the 'game'.
Yes, she's bluffing experience where she has none and is currently fighting the urge to give in to Rui's counteroffensives and none of their classmates even know anything's going on between them. But they're not an actual couple in the mutually agreed, conventional sense, at this time in the narrative.
