I too find it bothersome when I have to install a new messaging application on addition to the ones I already have to keep in touch with someone, so I can understand Iino. After the recent events I guess she is gong to join Discord immediately, though.

And yeah, I'm pretty sure as Shadow said that Shiranui is going to work mainly as a motivator for Miko or something along those lines, just as Tsubame ultimately was mainly a motivator for Ishigami. Could be wrong, and with more interaction I may sway in my support, but for now I'm betting she's just a jealousy bait. Well, we'll see in around a month. |

Also just because Iino is trying to get close to Ishigami doesn't mean everything she does or say has now deep meaning. She can both trying to get close to him and not want use discord at same time. She would have easier time if she joined and she might in future, but that doesn't mean she can't be off putted by that idea first time she hears about it.

You might be partially saying that in jest, but Ishigami technically isn't as anti-social as he looks. Ever notice how he was perfectly fine accepting a discord invite into a group full of people he didn't know? And before this, he also joined the cheer club, and went to several parties on his own without someone he knows from the Student Council to accompany him. That, and while he says having 10 contacts on LINE is not much, but if they are still people he personally knows (and not a friend of a friend), then that is actually still a big accomplishment. He's probably the second most outgoing person in the student council next to Fujiwara. |

Some guy told Ishigami that 4 impossible girls are unconquerable, let alone get close to them.
And Ishigami nearly have sex with one of the impossible girls, and 2 of the impossible girls are willing to have a close conversation with him. Either these people are overestimating these 4 impossible girls too much or Ishigami is just that good. |

And anyway, my point was mainly that she should give it a try. You don't have to pretend to love something to show some interest in it. I'm just suggesting she take a shot, or at least respond to him talking about his social life in an area she knows nothing about with something besides complete rejection. It's something he likes (again, I'm talking about the friends he has and the games he loves not the platform he uses to talk with them) so she should at least take a look and try to see what he likes about it. Heck, she might get a lucky shot in and have the satisfaction of taking him out at least once. |

Your point originally was that Iino not wanting join is somehow part of strategy to get closer to him and assert it bad strategy too, which should be obvious to anyone Miko included. Personally I don't think she's such idiot and thus rejecting idea of joining social platforms is simply because she doesn't like those ideas. If she decide join discord or other platform it will be because this very conversation that challenged her opinion on them.

If she wanted to, she can directly send Ishigami DMs. The only thing stopping her is that Discord sounds foreign to her so she doesn't want to bother. |

And yeah, if she tried Discord and didn't like it then she'd have to decide between enduring to get closer to him or finding some way to make him use LINE or some other method she does like, or of course just give up which seems unlikely and ridiculous. But she hasn't tried it. She doesn't know the first thing about it. |

hahaha... so Aka's experience of playing in APEX tourney actually birthed this kind of chapter
Thank you CR cup Being Iino is very suffering.. I used to be very close with a girl who didn't have any knowledge about gaming and otaku stuff. I took times to understand each other because most of these people don't know anything about TeamSpeak or Discord At this rate, Iino will sacrifice too much even though Ishigami actually willing to sacrifice as much as her. They need communication and probably a 3rd person will boost it I just hope we won't return to bully arc because of the guys being jealous of Ishigami |

Papa Shirogane managed to be far more concise about my earlier statements concerning pursuing one's love's passions. You don't need to share or try to share interests, but it's only natural to want to understand what makes your beloved so happy and be able to share some of that happiness.
Anyway, while I'm pretty sure it's just a gag, this misunderstanding, if he heard and believed it, could potentially have at least as much effect as learning FPS in getting the two closer. We've already seen many, many times that Ishigami harbors some strong protective instincts toward Miko. He'd even worried about her getting deceived and exploited. If someone were to actually convince him that she'd entered a relationship with a sleazy old man or gotten roped into the world of Enjo Kosai, there's no way he'd take that sitting down and that concern could be of an advantage to her. But either way, looking again I think the relationship between those two might not really be the core goal. After all, "Buddha's bowl" is a reference to Osaragi, and to an extent her relationship with Miko. Thus, it may be more about Osaragi's relationship with Miko and her unwillingness to support her love. If I were to choose the path, I'd like it to end with either Osaragi finding a way to fit Miko into her shipping standards and start supporting her, or find that no matter what she can't see them as a "good ship" by her standards, but despite this still finds herself supporting her and wanting Miko to succeed. I'm not entirely sure how it'll play out for real though. Looking back, Ishigami's case was a pretty good fit for the original story: the Isonokami no Maro (Ishigami), the suitor tasked with collecting a cowry birthed by swallows (Tsubame), earnestly set off to find and obtain the impossible item, only to fall to his death with nothing but bird poop in his hand, a pretty fit comparison to Ishigami working so long to obtain Tsubame's love only to be shot down once again. Miko's name comes from Ishidzukuri no Miko, the suitor tasked with retrieving Buddha's begging bowl (Osaragi). Upon realizing how ludicrous the task is, the suitor instead brought back a fake bowl made from a blackened pot, only to be caught because it didn't glow with holy light. Such a story makes me worry we might get a falling-out between the two or Osaragi deciding to be more direct and honest about various things, but who knows... |
