Kid really channeling that "she must be canadian" energy.

That was a close call. Her athleticism won it for them in the end after all.
Art error on pg. 6? It seems their ankles tied together aren't tied anymore...

Untranslated text in the final panel is:
「気ずいてほしいけど、」
「気すいてほしくない…。」

Tsukino is having conflicted feelings after that prolonged eye contact session with Taiyou:
"I want him to realize, but"
"I also don't want him to realize..."

To his credit, he almost realized it.

 

[yun1que]

One step closer for both kid to realize their feelings. Let's go

 

[TheManWhoSeeks]

And so the second braincell died

[loIIipoop]

[dingo12345]

Damn, so close yet so far

 

[red_ninja]

Sprinting, ball rolling, bread eating, cavalry, drag racing …

She does it all!

Tell me about it, I know the feeling.

As I'm sure you're aware, 日本語 is often implicit and purposefully ambiguous like that, forcing readers and listeners to rely a lot on context clues and plenty of reading between the lines. We can't tell AI to "read between the lines", which is why MTL is often left guessing and unreliable when it comes to translating Japanese compared to other languages.

We can infer from this because she's blushing and based on her actions, we know she's conflicted about her feelings for him: she was positively giddy about being saved, and shortly after she fled the scene before he can figure anything out.

rather than not understanding the context this was in, i was rather conflicted in my understanding if those words were really coming from hiiragi at all. i dont like putting words into characters' mouths because that would be fanfiction. my stance on this is pretty much "if it might give vague ideas and would confuse people, i would rather not have it in at all" though i definitely understand if people are against this view
this was my translation for it

that is to say that i wasnt sure if this was something the author just put in arbitrarily or something that eludes to an actual budding romance (because sometimes they actually do put in some pretty random comments at the end!)
ch 15:It’s up to you whether you believe it or not…!!
ch 16:The whole class!!

I understand the concern about avoiding misrepresenting characters, those are normal and well-founded worries from legit translators. I think that sense of cautiousness is a good mindset to have as a translator who cares about TL quality.

Personally though, I'd prefer an attempt to translate based on informed guesses to be made, rather than leave untranslated text behind. TL notes could just be left somewhere, even in the credits page. I don't know about others, but I like reading TL notes too. Some are pretty informative. But that's just me.

You make a fair point about it possibly being mangaka commentary, so in that case, it would be like:
"(She) wants (him) to realize (her feelings), but then (she) also doesn't want (him) to..."

I've filled in the blanks based on what we've seen this chapter, I don't think there's any doubt it's about her feelings. At this point, I think it's clear she's already falling in love with him, just feeling conflicted on how to handle it.

Considering that this IS a RomCom, it might be weirder for an actual budding romance to not be present in some capacity.
I skimmed through some of the older chapters and not all of them have similar looking comments at the end.

Ch. 7 has:

ずっと一緒にいられるね♪ -> "(They'll) be together for a long time♪"

Ch. 11 has:

◎大活躍の予感…！？ -> "◎It feels like (she'll) be very active... !?" // TL note: I hate kanji so much

Ch. 12 has:

◎まずは基本のあいさつから♪ -> "◎First, (let's) start with basic greetings♪"

The mangaka does appear to be interjecting bits of commentary at the end for some chapters. If I had noticed this earlier, then yeah, I'd say those two lines at the end of this chapter are more likely to be mangaka comments revealing Tsukino's feelings.

 

[ForTheJerusalem]

Couldn't they just, gone off of her count? You don't actually need to count, just any two distinct sounds would do and she is deaf, not mute. So why not? Just to add a plot hole?
