Hot chapter

Idk how to feel about this tbh. It feels like she was trying to apologize, but they didnt actually talk about what she did last chapter.

What did she do last chapter? I don't recall her doing anything in particular — in fact, she was only present for something like the final two pages

Thanks for the translation.

Time for 8 alineas of analyzing a manga character.
Maybe she murdered the MC in her dreams. Maybe she wants to take all his food away....

She badmouthed him in front of the other girl. Likely due to jealousy and meant as a joke, but annoyed a lot of readers here.

For this chapter, if she wants to flirt with him, telling him she comes here because there are too many people flirting in her club isn't going to send the right message. At least, I would take it as an hint to not hit on her.

Will she be fine doing club activities without water? It's sports, right?

I have the strangest feeling that she likes him. Not sure what it is.

I mean first time I’ve seen the girl apologise for this and the guy not completely overreact (as a trope in manga).
But kinda clear she likes him now.

Bro I'm so used to girls getting mad when THEY show off their panties and slapping the guy that this threw me off. I love it. I need more girls in manga to be aware and NOT attack guys for what THEY do or did.

Mangaka really drew the cameltoe and everything, huh

As a geezer who needs this kind of stuff explained by now: what’s alinea(s)? From context it’s almost simp/apologist, but that’s just a guess.

 

[Agent_Seagull]

"I'll go buy a drink"
"You mean me"

Might be the first time in history that an MC accidentally saw the FMCs panties and was not called a pervert. She even apologized too. Literally groundbreakingly innovative writing.

Thanks for the chapter!

They're not yet at the point where they've realized they have feelings for each other I think. Right now they're just awkward kids flirting without really realizing they are.

BTW all she really did last chapter was call him a perv. The other girl knew that wasn't what he was doing, so I'd say it was obvious to everyone involved she was simply teasing him

Except it was out of character for her - every other chapter, whether it was just them or with a third party, she'd cut any jibe thrown his way with something neutral or even slightly complimentary.

She also has demonstrated that she understands context and has situational awareness. So why did she go out of her way to call him a pervert, "pretend" (I guess) to misread the situation, give him no chance to explain, and then leave without any sort of farewell statement (also a first)?

It was a clear deviation from every other chapter for them, which makes this weird awkwardness of chapter 8 even more jarring, like some sort of implicit acknowledgment and overcorrection for her shift in behavior from the previous.

Even if it was played off as just teasing or being due to jealousy on her part, Machino was different last go-around, to a surprising degree, and the noticable lack of any reference to that on either character's part, makes this one extra strange with the sudden fan service moment tacked on.
