No sooner do Taiki and Hina meet up does Chinatsu spot the two together.
Worse, her teammates spot them, and assume the first years are dating.
Chinatsu doesnt hide her shock and dismay, but were the only ones who see it.

The teammates are fawning on Hinas yukata and cute hair.
Taiki can sensesomethingsoffshes not her talkative selfbut cant sense what that something is.
She knows how hardworking Taiki is, that Chinatsu lives with him,.

We also learn via flashback that Chinatsu admitted to Karen that she sees Taiki as a guy.
Since her line-drawing, hes afraid to tellhershe looks cute, lest it destroy everything they have.
The next morning Taiki runs before heading to practice, and naps in the hallway after practice.

What Chinatsu is doing here is neither fair to Taiki nor fair to herself.
