I see the story going one of two ways: 1. Azuma has been in love with him and was looking for a reason to get close. He keeps up the pretense of practice until Kota eventual starts talking to girls. Then he gets so jealous he confesses. 2. Some kind of misunderstanding plot where Kota thinks Azuma got a gf so he asks to stop the practice and they mope for 5 ch before talking it out. For the sake of my sanity, I hope it's 1
bc the brother is an architect who made yanase's house (?) and they're kinda close since he eats at their house sometimes since the brother kinda has a brother complex (he wanted mc's number and shit) yanase thought it would be a good surprised to bring him over and meet mitsuya (mc)
I really wish they went into more detail about what happens when a swordmaster "ascends." All we know is that they gain inhuman abilities and stop(?) aging
