More than Mirika, I’m way more disappointed with how the author invalidates portions of the previous arc with how he developed Naoya in this arc.
When he added girlfriend #2, fine that’s how the story starts and #3 is of special circumstances where there is a long relationship between the main parties. However, this #4 sets a precedent where any girl Naoya fancies in the future technically he can add to the crew. This runs counter to the previous arc and pretty much sets Naoya up as a philanderer and the the current trio will pretty much be a doormat.
