Firstly, thanks to the translator team for bundling these last 3 chapters together, having to digest 8 and 9 on their own would've hurt. It's really quite the contrast, seeing how Kyou, Jun, and Yuu are handling their feelings of secretly loving their longtime friend; Kurumi being caught in the middle of it is just tearing the poor girl apart. The fact that Yuu spent so much time making a gift for Kurumi speaks volumes though; she might not feel the same as Kurumi does, but given time I really think she could; she's said as much that she wants to, and i don't think it's fair to her to constantly doubt that. Kyou trying to sabotage their relationship isn't helping matters though, seriously bitch needs to BTFO, maybe take a hint from Jun and keep her distance and try to move on.
