You can see how much Hairi and Kamome's connection goes far beyond childhood friends, the way the two connected from the first time they saw each other, to the point of creating intimacy, trying to heal each other's pain, the scene of the two of them walking hand in hand through the tunnel made me find myself smiling, simply perfect.

But of course, I think we can't ignore (and there's no way lol) the lake scene, we know how Hairi has the typical "lucky pervert situation", but this episode, let's just say it's "big".

I don't know if it's the end of Kamome's arc, but she's already been my favorite girl since the third episode.

It really showed their connection, especially these past two episodes. The big thing here is that they showed they are childhood friends as Hairi picked up on Kamom's tendencies. This is something with childhood friends many shows lack because we are told they are childhood friends without ever showing it to us.

Kamome has been really done well and here is the thing with this being a VN adaptation. How do they do the other routes? To my knowledge, this isn't written as a harem as each girl has their own routes. So, do we imagine that's the case for the anime? This is my first VN adapted anime as the only other one that I have seen is Atri, which is not a multiple girls route series. I am just wondering how the anime handles it.

I am more interested in learning about Tsumugi as compared to the other 3 she hasn't gotten any screen time yet.
