The dialogue had so much depth in this chapter. And then we got the: "Just you wait!" "I won't be waiting, though." "What!?" Man, that was hilarious and just the perfect ending.
@Sparrow75 I suspect the author had this published in a shounen magazine specifically to be able to have this speed of romance and generally the distinct lack of it in most chapters. If she had gone for a shoujo publication, I bet the editor would have demanded far more relationship stuff even if she somehow could have still kept it as slow. Otherwise, after all, this definitely has shoujo influence and the main cast itself is quite a sausage fest.
