real talk our glorious irredeemable slob queen has the kid so thoroughly and absolutely cousinzoned that even if the others started literally licking him at most she'd just be all lol stop pranking him or smth
I like their relationship. I think it's cute and strangely wholesome. He takes care of her very lovingly, but admires her genuinely as well. I would be ok if there was 0 romance between them (tho it was teased in the 1st chapter that he is in love with her).
Everytime I see Souko make a funny face, I think about chapter 32. She's actually a kinda serious and unexpressive person, but when the MC is involved, her face morphs.
