I mean, this time it does make sense to kiss her, the same way as the senpai did. Although the senpai move was a bit more of a dick move considering it caused jealosy, but as KZO said before, it's easy now, she realizes she doesn't have feelings for her but apparently do so for Asuka. And still, that would be the easy solution as it could resolve the manga in 1 or 2 chapters more, which I'm not sure if the author will want to take that kind of route, especially considering the background they gave to the morher a few chapters ago.
