I'm kind of confused actually. I feel like Nekozaki felt Mikoto's "like" as "like as a friend" and "likes" Mikoto as in "love", because languages don't work most of the time apparently. It could also be that she doesn't want to fall in love for some reason but that doesn't sound right to me.
Whatever the case may be, thanks for the update as always, really love your working translating Arata Iri's work <3
