This fluffy manga didnt need this dickhead of a character that got shoehorned in to force some drama between the two MCs, like ffs the dudes instantly detestable in more than one way AND the author even dared to introduce a potential blackmail bait plot hook into it, just every type of garbage lesser manga pull when it comes to these assholes. Im hoping its totally meant to subvert our expectations or something but as is this is a very weak chapter..
