Don’t underestimate Rin, Ayumu. She can take 500g of meat.

Totally on the same page with how she feels.

Also, she's absolutely right. Pride is dumb. He's valuing his pride over having an actual relationship with the girl he's in love with.

It's really silly that he thinks he can only confess after winning with no handicap. It's even a little condecending. She's been playing a long time and she's really good. He's only just started but decides he can't confess unless he's as good or better than her? He's seriously belittling something she loves so much. I know him wanting to be superior before he confesses isn't the actual message the author is trying to send but it really comes across like that sometimes. It's really just a plot device to stretch it out longer and show his determination. It's just hard not to see the other side sometimes. If I was her I'd be kind of annoyed, all that lost time just because of his pride.

Otherwise I do love this series. It's great to see the girl being the one pressured for once. You don't often see it, it's normally the guy losing his spagetti all over the place while the girl just goes "huh, okay" then is immediately okay with their love. I always love those moments when they realise it though.

I wonder what shed get out getting him to confess without winning without handicaps... maybe she just wants this to be over? or she feels like if he gave up it'd be easier for her to give up as well?
