Nine's just gonna rip his brother into shreds as soon as he sees him 'cuz he's been training in secret all this time to protect Melissa. The End.
It's been a while they were hinting for the Yuri possibility, but I wish they won't go too far as I hardly support it. However, I appreciate the novelty of the path and I admit it is very refreshing to see something new in those shojo-game-simulation comics.
I wasn't expecting Yuri to be awre of the plot either...in this way. I thought she was reincarnated like Melissa, but again this little twist is interesting, as it leads us to the question of why is she aware of it but not the others (yes cuz she's the MC but all the others are also so that doesn't explain everything), when did it start and how many times did it replay? She seems to be hinting this is not the first time she lets herself follow the plot, did she already make all the routes maybe? And now she is the Melissa route? Or the Harem one?
And who is that phantom? (Well obviously the villain, but why when where how who...)
