** Keita and Aguri affirming their PlatonicLifePartners status, musing that they could easily be HappilyMarried to each other but ultimately have no intent of being more what they already are, remaining committed to the happiness of their loved ones. At the same time, neither of them consider it a remotely acceptable option to break off their OddFriendship even though it would ease their love interests’ feelings of jealousy. When Konoha presses them on their relationship, both immediately express that they’d be overjoyed to see the other’s romantic aspirations come to fruition.
** Konoha’s heart-to-heart with Keita outside, during which he realizes he’s in love with Chiaki, but doesn’t want to hurt her or Karen by picking one over the other. Seeing how purehearted Amano’s feelings for the both of them are nearly spurs Konoha to tears, but she prioritizes Chiaki’s happiness over her own and commits to IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy even though she’s completely head-over-heels for Keita’s kind heart at this point, and she reveals that she arranged this discussion so his confession would be known to Chiaki.

As they discuss, Aguri offers Amano to work in retail with her, a prospect he initially detests and vehemently refuses.

In turn, Amano pushes past his fears and agrees to take the job with her, motivated by ThePowerOfLove driving him to be someone worthy of Tendō.

* In Konoha has a poignant moment in volume 7 when she has the light novels, opportunity to completely destroy her UnknownRival Karen’s love life and leave Keita available for Chiaki, or even potentially take him away from both of them and have Keita all to herself. Yet even when sorely tempted to make her move, Konoha’s better nature ultimately wins out and she instead decides to assuage Karen’s fears about her relationship. Notably, this choice seems to earn her a small bit of respect from her SitcomArchnemesis Kōsei, who acknowledges her as his senpai with an InsultOfEndearment after it happens.
* When students are being grouped up for a field trip in volume 7, Chiaki is left without a group and is put uncomfortably on the spot by the student council president trying to find a group that will take her. Despite being insecure about having witnessed Chiaki’s love confession to Keita, Karen can’t bring herself to let her friend suffer and swallows her own fears to speak up and take Chiaki in.
** Later, Keita quickly notices that Chiaki is feeling AloneAmongTheCouples and makes up an excuse for him to be at her side during the field trip, with the rest of their friends following suit to let her know YouAreNotAlone.

*** The light novel follows up this moment with a later scene where Aguri tries to assuage Tasuku, Karen, and Chiaki’s worries that Amano puts her on too high a pedestal over them by calling him up for a BatmanGambit to demonstrate that he would be just as concerned over any of them in distress as he was for her. Granted, it’s immediately followed by another cute display of back-and-forth playfulness between the two that reinvigorates their fears that Amano and Aguri are too intimate with each other, but it doesn’t change the fact that she proved he sees all of them as his TrueCompanions and would prioritize his friends over his video games if things came down to it.
