I utterly despise this ending. Its a rushed timeskip, but not even a far enough timeskip to give a satisfying conclusion.
Its just a shitty half-baked cliffhanger, that caused more disarray in the last two chapters than if theyd just cut it with them winning the second trophy.
Its even worse than the conclusion for ao ashi is shaping up to be (although theres like 5 chapters of that I havent got to read yet).
Fuck, thats so disappointing man
