I feel like the sister will find out he know Russian first

The embarrassment is gonna hut Alya like a truck-kun when she learn he's always understood her

Spoiler

She already knows. Masachika actually learned Russian to help her develop her own Japanese skills when she was being bullied by xenophobes.

I said before in a previous chapter that she was the girl from the park they were at when they were kids we saw, so I was right?

Spoiler: It's been a while

The mom and her side of the family is shit.

Kuze absolutely hates her.

Yuki hates them but not on the same level as Kuze, she still interacts with them because she has to but never shows her true goblin personality.

Their dad is cool. Yuki goes full goblin on him the same way she does to Kuze which is proof that she loves an trusts him too.

The mom seems apologetic and concerned about Kuze but never actually does anything for him.

The real villain in the family might be the Grandpa on theit mom's side.

Dad has been seeing mom at Gramps' this entire time while telling Masachika they're both banned from the place. There are clues he may only be doing so for her mental health, but there are also clues suggesting they're still romantically linked as well. He's got his issues. Also, Yuki has known this all along and deliberately hid it from her brother.

He won't remember until he sees her there over summer break and the context triggers the return of his full memories.

"What's this fluttering in my chest?"
Dude, that's the normal reaction to a really attractive girl WHO ISN'T AN INSUFFERABLE TSUNDERE giving you attention and coquettishly smiling at you

For slightly lesser values of "we" than you might be assuming, perhaps. Neither Masachika nor Alya would be good for each other as romantic partners as they are. His psyche is way too fractured to properly assert himself in that kind of high-pressure relationship (in the event he could even stop hating himself long enough to actually enter such a relationship) while she's had her shields up for so long and at such strength that she doesn't know the person beneath them anymore, let alone having the capacity to share that person and her vulnerabilities with someone else.

What she needs are friends she can trust so she can begin opening up. What he needs is someone who can heal his mind and heart.

Yeah, yeah, but the series is called Alya-san and it's a light novel, so you know how this is gonna end

 

[adm0726]

onee san is cool and all but we all know she's just teasing him

 

[PinkManiac]

How has she not suspected him understanding her with all the reactions he gives to her speaking Russian, mainly getting flustered? Or at least considered him looking it up later like she did once before?
