#harada

if mc is female or fem presenting nonb. mr. nishimura will show interest. if mc is male or male presenting nonb. ms. harada will show interest.

no, they are not locked. flirting or even romantically aligning yourself with mr nishimura or ms harada ( as the same sex or gender identity ) will be looked at as friendship points; until a specific event in the book that leads either teacher to the realization that this close friendship of theirs isn't friendship at all 🙂.

like i said; romance isn't the main focus, so after this event, you'll see the ros act towards the mc like one would a crush, or someone they wish to romantically pursue, but it won't be made official ( in terms of dating ).
