That was kinda the point. If they're there in his fantasy, he should've seen them, and then their faces shouldn't be blank. If he hasn't seen them, they shouldn't be there.
He is just your normal anime/manga gooner thrown into romcom series. If you look from outside perspective his thoughts aren't that outrageous, Rihito looks like some silent chad, getting all the cuties.
Thanks for the chapter.
Im still confident that they only introduced tachibana and the mcs sister to make noa look good by comparison lol.
Also hayase get some friends bro, you cannot be acting like this as a grown man, its pathetic.
Somebody take my homie Hayase to the red light district and get him some maidens, please. My mans out here thinking normal convos with the opposite sex counts as flirting. Like huh?!
