i jokingly anticipated it at the start of the chapter, but i didnt expect it to be real anyway i think its one of those kid stuff where they say they want to marry someone, usually a parent, when they grow up. to nils, being gifted food must be a big deal. i highly doubt its gonna be like danna and uni, then again danna only assumed uni was a kid when he wasnt. in this case, nils is a toddler(?)

this definitely isnt the type of shoujo that values pacing like yubisaki to renren or kimi ni todoke which im not surprised about since its the same author as living no matsunaga-san, a story that had its share of frustrations. idk whats up with the author and having the ml make mistakes while the fl easily forgives him. if it weren't for the amazing artstyle these works can easily be mistaken for something written in the 2000s - a period of shoujo that i cherish but is SOO problematic when you look back at it in this time and age
at first i was a bit optimistic that they'd still end up together so it was kind of frustrating seeing all the misunderstandings and the people around them making things worse, especially when he explained himself (idk if that was enough) but it really does seem like she doesn't give a flying fck about him anymore. and since this exchange student thing, i've lost all interest in whatever love story is trying to be portrayed. maybe that's how it's gonna go? i mean, the foreshadowing with the book she read, maybe she doesn't end up with anyone?
Now that'd be a much better story if she doesn't end up with him I'm done with the trope where it was all a silly dumb misunderstanding like bfr NO
