I don't think he was speaking to Shuu, but was inner monologue when he said that; but nonetheless, it really hit home. Up til now, we've only one side of the fence with Shuu and Yuki, because naturally, they look beautiful when dressed up as a girl/woman; so much that people who don't know them believe that they are female. It's interesting to see the perspective from someone like Mii-tan's father who doesn't have that natural beauty. I imagine that this is also the insecurities that Makoto faces with his crossdressing, even though he hasn't really done it in public yet.
Seeing the girls get back together is certainly going to be nice =03. Last time, things were... a bit tense, to say the least
, though it was still very enjoyable. I don't think Shuu is going to permeate the convo though, since, unlike back then, the girls has
seemingly moved on from him, so I think it'll be more friendly this time. I feel that when they meet, it is subtly going to cement the fact that the girls(Yoshino/Saorin) have moved on from him and thus nudging the prospect of a Yoshino/Saorin yuri pairing, or start the beginning of re-blossoming any old feelings they might have had for him(though Yoshino's 're-blossoming' feelings is more like [crossdressing] companionship).
Yoshino certainly looks cuter, ever since she grew her hair out. That short-bob hairstyle was horrible on her as a girl(though quite fitting as a boy). Saorin is still the most beautiful though
