Olivia sets herself as best girl but girl is not happy.
Though I'm sure the promise made is something said in game about being together and gay and whatnot

 

[Redrot]

Poor senpai is in the dark on her waifu being real.

Visiting grandma who has had dementia for 8 years now kills me inside. She doesn't know who any of us are anymore. This hit hard

Also, why they always gotta make my girl oli sad

I think Sophia and Olivia are going to have to actually get to know each other and have a positive relationship by the end of this, whether as just friends or in a triad with Machino, which is what I hope for. Having two partners is not unreasonable or unrealistic, but whether Olivia will actually want that is another thing.

Oliviaaa

They probably could've made a better blanket with magic and then she could've spent more time lying on top of the blanket with the grandma. That's the happiness that comes from cats, not amateur knitting.

 

[Zyte_X]

Never seen actual dementia portrayed in a manga before. Was just as sad as I thought it'd be

While I do like some geometrically shaped love affairs (triangles ect.), I rather when MCs choses only one person in the end. You will have a hard enough time to be with even one person not to mention two or more, unless you are an ungodly inhuman comedic abomination like Rentaro from 100 GFs. It's funny if it's not treated really seriously and it's just a ridiculous comedy but here is more about drama and seriousness.

People will have their own values and I hope that Olivia will not get a character arc that basically is supposed to make her a harem waifu that is suddenly ok with polyamory. I'm hoping there will not be a harem fantasy "happy" ending where Olivia comprises to not be rejected by her beloved.

While I do somewhat agree with you, there is the other extreme where the MC cannot pick because he is indecisive, which I find to be even more annoying.

I also feel like this will end poly, not mono.

 

[Baffled]

I have no words, just

 

[MagicNumbers]

[maylsmallow]

Omg, girlypop, what did you promise heeeerrr?? also I will have to marinate dis, the last panel is killing me.

Ultimately the problem is while Sophia and Aurora seem okay with the poly route, Olivia is monogamous and this is producing...problems. she's the acknowledgement that Machino's relationship with the heroines is abnormal when translated outside of the context of a video game.

It doesn't necessarily seem normal within Celestia either. There's no indication of a harem route, and Machino's entire conflict in the first chapter is her inability to decide which of the heroines she wants to choose.

To me the setup seems to pretty obviously be "if you can't choose one in the game, choose them all in real life." But there's bound to be at least some level of discontent considering the fact that the characters from within the game have all believed themselves to be close to Machino on an individual level, rather than collectively.

Sophia is a bundle of love who seems to take a more-the-merrier approach, and Aurora is lascivious and practically ageless meaning her sense of morality probably differs pretty heavily from the norm, so their willingness makes sense. But given Olivia's personality it also makes sense that she'll need some sort of character arc to come around to the whole affair. Otherwise her agreeing to a polyamorous relationship will feel like nothing more than forced acquiescence, which really wouldn't be fair to her character.

I trust the series to handle this well going forward, though. So far it's been very thoughtfully written and I think the author has a solid plan in mind for these characters and their arcs.

Also I just wanted to point out that I called Aurora masquerading as a stray cat last chapter.
