A nice chapter title, no blueball this time. So the boss has been gone for two weeks Yoki's time. So he's been gone... a while. There's probably math I could do, but it's pretty significant. (Edit: It's not that significant, it's maybe a bit over 4 hours, I switched things in my head).
During my reread, I started to get the feeling Kikurin has a crush of sorts on Yoki, and this chapter added to that for me with how desperate she seemed to be. Normally I might write it off, but considering who the author is, I don't think it's that unlikely.
