Just when we thought progress was stalling, Masuda-sensei came out with the surprising combo to suddenly put things into overdrive. Took me off guard at the progress made in just this one part. The Manager's expressions represented how we would have reacted, lol.
I knew that ganshin character keychain would come into play. Wondering if Masuda-sensei was trying to get the readers to forget about that with all the other stuff going on
The conversation took off once our dorky pair started talking about the game. Hikoichi even disguised the birthday gift as a thank-you gift - clever move there. I have to wonder if Nayu has a thank-you gift as well.
At the end, I was starting to wonder if they would get each other's Line info or something, but that may be asking for too much, lol.
