No, but it does mean that there aren't feelings involved by default which was what you complained about.
Maybe try reading what YOU wrote before you snap at ME for it.
For some reason I don't think that the original Japanese line was "When in Rome, do as the Romans do," nor do I imagine that Haru has the proper frame of reference to understand that particular saying.
These stories are always weird to me where this whole arc setup was "here's a bunch of new characters who are all high-ranked adventurers. By the way now they're dead."
I still want it to happen that in the middle of all this competing between all the other girls who are vying for Saotome for Itachi to just be like "yeah I've actually liked you for a while, wanna go out?" and have that be the result.
