Only common sense in this chapter came from the guild staff + A rank adventurer.

That is still on the table, since all of the interests are still open-ended.  How might she react if he gets more serious with someone else?  What would she do if she saw what Yuka did?

He might have verbally rejected his co-worker's advice, but now look what he does lol.

Okay, I am surprised, haha.

The story does a pretty good job making most of the girls sympathetic, aside from the office lady.  However, even the office lady's inner dialogue fits.  It's hard to picture MC picking office lady, this girl, or his tutoring student without some kind of time skip though.  The age gap and his own thoughts suggest otherwise.  I do think someone unexpected winning would be interesting, but I still don't expect it!

I guess that's the reason he was dragged into this world as this guy.  A normal person wouldn't work here, so a crazy it is.

This would be incredibly powerful if used productively.  Especially if that actually is the condition to advance a day.  The amount you could learn, the money you could make...if these are really "free" days, it's basically a superpower.  These two look to take the story in a more silly direction though!

It's not as over the top in real life, but I can still relate.  It's fun at first, being seen as someone who doesn't make mistakes.  Or just that you're so much better you can't lose.  There's reward in pushing for that image too, lots of actual success and satisfaction to get there.  It's tiring too though, and inevitably, you WILL mess up sometimes.  The reality is that no matter how good someone seems at something, they still have to make the correct choices in the moment each time.  

You can improve your odds with practice and process mixed with talent, but meeting the expectations that creates never becomes easy.  They will keep up with you, until you can't keep up with them.  Even so, I think so long as you enjoy that hustle, it's worth it.  Just have to let go if it stops being fun.

Quite the 180 on the "grass is greener" thing.  Funny to see Hebikawa get competition baited though.

Indeed, it is almost always worse.  If we could fix our republic instead, we should.  Hasn't happened many times in history though...

She still believes that Kusunoki is hiding her motives/not genuine and is trying to bait that out, I'm pretty sure.  Based on what the story has shown us previously, it's like she's demonstrating how she sees the world.  Notice that she's only "all over him" when one of the other girls will see it.  She doesn't act like that with him the same way when they aren't.

I would accept any of them winning, but would be very surprised if anybody but Kusunoki wins.  I still predict Hebikawa goes for MC to test her, has increasingly genuine feelings, and loses though.  I really like her as a character.  What she did in the past was enough to function as an antagonist, but not so bad that she couldn't become sympathetic later.  Her motives are reasonable.  The snake eyes design helps her stand out a lot too.  I come back to this story after months and she's the easiest character to remember.

Nothing she did in the story makes her deserve being assaulted.  It's true that rage baiting a known scumbag should be obviously unwise, though.  She knew he was a bad person the moment he started hitting on her while he was dating her mom.  If there were ever a time and place for ghosting, this would be it.

It's not a nice situation.  I disagree though.  Kusunoki put her on the spot, and she told the truth.  She probably knows how Kusunoki feels like you say.  I don't see how she guilt tripped in any of this dialogue though.  

I don't think the other two girls will let it take that long.  They're going to put pressure on Kusonaki and probably force MC to make a decision, unless the author really wants to draw it out.

I'm not a fan unless she did it on purpose, but it would be out of character then.

I was confused a bit reading this later haha.  The chapter # is ridiculous too.  Nicely done.

Statistically almost nobody does.  Very few people will act like her naturally.

If you mean just having a middle or high school relationship, then it's not the same once you're older.  Find connections and relationships where you can, and not just the romantic kind.  None of them can last forever.  Some last much longer than others, but there's always a last time sadly.  

The fantasy stories are fun to explore, but I recommend against measuring connections that are actually within your reach against them.  I won't BS you can pretend they're all worth it either though.  Just consider whether you've really exhausted every approach available to find something you want.  

I like it.  The angst and dumpster fires you get in other manga can be fun as well, but this kind of ending is nice too sometimes.

Republics have fallen in the past, and they will again.  Despite that I think they're better to live in, the cycle of history doesn't care.

Rome printed money until it stopped working too.  Also attempted price fixing.  Eventually, the economy doesn't hold up any longer due to corruption and waste.  The public finally considers the ruling class illegitimate.  The military or whoever has the most military force sees it as an opportunity.  The details after that can be relatively fortunate (still bad, but less) or awful.

Just as kings were untouchable until they weren't, so too is the ruling class under an increasingly corrupt republic.
