@pengentidur thaaaaaaaaaank you! finally! i don't know why, probably because i have the nose too close to the story, but i couldn't think back about that event, so yes, it makes sense, she's now in second year compared to the beginning of the story, so she's 16~17. i'll update my internal brain wiki, lol
@Somka she's being ironic. she asked the question after she's done it instead of before.
No matter how wrong kousuke is with having a relationship with a minor I honestly at this point don't care. As long as the 2 parties know what they're getting themselves into and are happy and aren't harming anyone then that's fine in my eyes.
Today I will remind them: The rape plot was wholly unnecessary. This would've worked just fine if he went after her and found her there, with no rapists around.
@weabooribs I thought about this too, and I agree it would’ve worked.
But I feel this scene was meant to criticize/contrast male actions to FMC by the Author. Both Kousuke and the drunkards are attracted to FMC, difference being the latter reacted on it (in most extreme way, I suppose), despite the drunkards being more age-appropriate for FMC, versus Kousuke.
