while i DON'T want Mio & Ash to end up together, it looks to me that Mio is developing feelings for her. Otherwise why would he buy the jewelry piece she was looking at, take her on a date (when she was scheduled to work) only AFTER hearing that her tutor already took her to see the festival (Ash's 1st date), make typical "jealous bf" faces after hearing about her talk about other guys (mostly the tutor?) and getting happy over it, + the "rival" -vibe confrontation with Mr. Redhead (forgot his name) when Redhead rescued/kidnapped her during the weird incident at the palace?
Again--I hope it crashes & burns so Mio doesn't get to be with her. i'm even rooting for Mr. Redhead to be the ML. The can be friends or even besties but that prick (Mio) shouldn't be forgiven for what he did in the original route. nor the shitty king. nor the shitty blonde vixen-succubus yurgel or wtf his name is. ye know what? let's just say I want a "death to villainy" ending. ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶

Yeah, I can see that Mio is definitely developing feelings for her, but he also has feelings for the “shitty blonde vixen-succubus” (love the nickname lol), I’m wondering when it comes down to a confrontation (because you just KNOW there’s going to be a confrontation eventually) which side Mio is going to pick. Bro’s before hoes dude.
Luckily, while it seems Mio has developed feelings, Ash hasn’t had any typical ~heart flutters~ or romance flags for him yet. Our girl has taste it seems.
I really love her and Sir Mio’s relationship as friends. And although I wouldn’t be mad if they ended up together, I really love how close they are and how much they care about each other PLATONICALLY.
I love that they have this outwardly typical lovey-dovey relationship: sleeping in the same room, sharing caretaking of a child together, mixing up/sharing their clothes, holding hands, going on dates, etc etc, yet there’s no romantic feelings, it’s just showing how much you can love someone and do things for that person platonically.
I really hope that Sir Mio will protect her from that wicked Blondie when the time comes...
