Not saying it's not bait, because it relies on Chifuyu making the decision at the end of the day -
But you should maybe go back and re-read ch 19 & 20 a couple times and pay attention to how Kyouko acts versus what she says. Especially the end of ch 20.
You are talking about the difference in words vs. expression and missing her face not matching her words this chapter.

In 20, you can see she's conflicted. She is happy her two favorite people are together, but sad she is being left out/left behind. She is thrilled when Fuyu returns and she's not being left alone.

This is not a CCP censor dodge "Roommates" situation, we had the situation directly called out and then the Monty Python divine foot stomping on it, repeatedly and firmly, I'm assuming because the the author knew the fans would not shut up if they didn't.

....Do you not know the expression? "getting the short stick" is basically "drawing the short straw/losing out on the prize/goal".
....Do you not know what a joke is? Its also the short END of the stick.

It's almost certainly not going to actually happen, because Chifuyu likes the boy and so I can't see her switching gears out of nowhere.


But I would be surprised if Winggirl isn't dealing with unrequited love for the youngest sister and is having to bury it, at the end of the day.

I do think she will make a play for Chifuyu all the same, I just don't expect her to succeed.

I don't see it. I thought we were heading that way at first but the author massively and positively demolished that line of plot.


Also forgot: the expression is the "get the short END of the stick" which is why i gave you shit about it.
Its descended of a old saying with origins in the "worse end of the staff"- that is, getting the worst of the situation or worse treatment from the same person.The phrase got a revival because in early America a common "deciding activity" was taking a forked stick and having each party pull to see who came away with the bigger chunk. Like Wishbone breaking. Thus, short end of the stick.

The one that describes what you were going for is "pull the short STRAW" which refers to drawing the losing lot.

I guess we'll see come next chapter (can't imagine it'll detour again with the last page being what it is, anyway - and it's been a minute since we last visited the youngest sister).

Also yes, the word "end" was originally missing. But I also have spent long enough on the Internet to see idioms/adages/metaphors mixed, edited, parsed and pared down, and outright bastardized, so it still read as the original phrase to me, regardless.

But, humor & sarcasm don't always translate through text, so I apologize if for my initial comment being that aggressive-sounding.
