So, does this mean the Mahiru route is ajar...?
That said, I can't shake this feeling that she's one of the deities as well. It would make sense: she's a doctor, takes care of the children... Basically a very protective role. Also knows Yomiko...
Not much happened this time tbh, just said out loud what he was thinking before. Even Mahiru moments were pretty mild. Guess the author doesn't want MC to hit on her too much to temper readers' expectations.
