Is it just me, or was this chapter particularly hard to follow along with in terms of dialogue?
I admit, it's hard to follow the localization of medieval speech with our local lolibaba's form of antiquated speech.

But, forsooth, the main gist of the chapter (Telne can't tell Elma is in love with Tohru and Tohru is annoyed that it isn't obvious), was clear enough.

correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure Telne has a thing for Takiya and just needed an excuse to follow him.

For people out of the loop, the ending of the previous arc revealed that Elma was (and still is) in love with Tohru. (the anime also sorta touches on this but didn't outright reveal it)

The "joke" here in this chapter is that literally everyone already knows this except Telne.

Is this the first time the translators have used the medieval speech for Telne? I assume she always spoke in that style in the original JP?

Elma is in Love with Both Tohru and Kobayashi. Is implied in the Elma's marriage arc and the previous arc. Tohru is in love with Kobayashi but has a thing for elma too. And Kobayashi Loves tohru, os so she said.

It’s more like Elma still loves Tohru and Tohru still cares about her but Tohru is in love with Kobayashi. It’s implied that since Kobayashi‘s a human her life span will be short so Elma’s fine with waiting.

Same. Was sick of it after like the 4th bubble. I don't remember them doing that with any of her dialogue before, I'm not sure why they decided to start randomly now.

Tohru like Kobayashi
Elma like Tohru
Kobayashi like Tohru

Tohru accept Elma's feeling

Elma respecting Tohru and Kobayashi relationship

Kobayashi knowing she's short-lived and doesn't want Tohru to be lonely after she dies, accept Elma's feeling to Tohru.

Elma and Kobayashi like each other enough to be fine with sharing Tohru together. Which is why now the three of them go on (lover's) trip together.

Kobayashi like to tease Tohru that she's two-timing her / have two people wanting her / having two wife.

Well, basically it's polyamory, just thag Kobayashi and Elma is not really in love (romantically/sexually) with each other while Tohru love them both.
