Oh god, author is really railroading this dumbass towards Kusora Showing her his secret? Making him think more of her background and giving him even more dense anime protag denseness, and making him think that Hikami only sees him as a brother?
I'm pretty sure it was obvious from early on that Kusora would be a near end target, if not the end target. Early on, she had one of the highest difficulties and her mission is still ongoing. Even Hikami's route was cleared, so her role now is more of support rather than target.

Yeah, I know. Was kind of hoping this would be on of those series where the author would pull an uno reverse card on us.. Cause now likely somewhere along the chapters Hikami is probably going to be killed or sacrifice herself just to drive the point home who are the main pair
