I like how they all decided to talk about it instead of spreading rumors or start ignoring Kaoruko (and Subaru).
What makes Madoka likeable is literally the minimum as a friend (she's still the GOAT tho). I get that the rest of the students were probably told over and over that Chidori's students are really bad people and that Kikyo is very strict etc... But the way they showed their concerns and care to Kaoruko and Subaru feels more like not supporting at all 😥
It's especially in those moments friends are here for... It's good to talk about it but it's kinda insulting when they openly admit they don't trust you to have a boyfriend and other friends if they're from Chidori, especially if they (they're supposed to) know how nice, trustful and even serious you are (talking about Subaru and Kaoruko). More than being "brainwashed" by Kikyo, they have lack of trust in their own friends... I'm not saying they should've been cool with that since the start but that it's weird how they directly went to the conclusion that they should stop seeing Chidori's students.
I mean, even if everyone around you say that "people working here are awful" "this shop is so expensive" "those students are troublesome" you will always find an/several exceptions. So maybe they could've still believe to those bad rumors about Chidori but also think "what if..." for Subaru and Kaoruko's case.
I've read those chapters in spanish before but it's still damn hilarious how they came say those things to their faces lmao, but again, at least they came to talk.
Thanks for the translation 💖
