Mom is pretty slick here, as she lays the compliments thick onto Rena and makes light of Tsubasa's situation to gauge all the reactions. With everyone now so friendly with one another, it was easy for Fuyuki to then ask Tsubasa over for a date; I predict mom coaching her daughter now that there is a definite rival appearing. Poor Akino though, she's being sidelined.😕
I'm still considering the next girl as a long lost childhood friend of Tsubasa's, who suddenly realizes that she's actually a had a thing for him since they've known each other.
