See I completely agree,As much as people will bash this manga, this chapter was surprisingly heartfelt albeit the chapter ended very strangely. At least Gotou and Agawa talked it out & he got a bentou from her plus keep their relationship. As a bonus we also got to see Inukai getting what he deserved. Thanks for the chapter.
I think either she didn't hear/understand what he said or she purposely pretended she didn't hear.So we're just gonna ignore the fact that MC said "I like her" at the end of the last chapter?
...Not gonna address it at all?
...
Okay, whatever.
