Koutarou Hibino makes his debut, and it’s clear he holds a relationship to both Kuroe’s mother and her. Though he is basically her uncle. Though interesting, it doesn’t seem he realizes that Harugon is Kuroe. Still, he seems quite clever, where he might not just be showing that he knows.
It seems clear that Arata doesn’t truly care for Kuroe. No surprise she feels pure happiness when she is with him. Their dynamic is really sweet. The concern, though, is him getting in danger. Curious what the plan is because Arata is a normal kid, but Kuroe deserves her own happiness.
