I disagree. ML knew from the start that Triangle was a woman, so it’s not necessarily that he likes guys. And he does like her for who she really is. MC has basically been pretending to be someone else while with the ML to cover for her friend and he was also pretending because he didn’t want to let others in. I also doubt that in the five years these two have been friends that they don’t talk about other stuff while in-game—the author is just bad at portraying friendships in general.
It's so weird that he keeps switching "he" and she when referring to MC.. he obviously doesn't like her for herself but her game character. And with the way he keeps blushing? Just say you like men bro it's ok ╮(￣▽￣)╭
