[You can practically see the loading bar struggling above his head as she drops that little hint, his mind tries in vain to connect the dots. His trainee... wait, did she mean Nene?? Is that why she asked him not to be weird about it??? Was Nene into girls too and he didn't even realize it???? It's not like they had an official label on their relationship or anything, so she could still see other people if she wanted to. Still.... to think his rival in love could be Lisa...
But then she casually mentions Junna's name, and the torrential aura that had been beginning to brew around him dissipates, getting him to sit up just a bit straighter in surprise.]
Hold on... you're seeing Junna-san?
[Oh. Right. It isn't as if he'd forgotten about Junna (although with her growth lately, he might not be calling her his trainee for much longer), but the idea of her of all people getting into a relationship hadn't even dawned upon him. Not that she wasn't a pretty girl or anything, but... with her serious demeanor and intensive focus on her training, he didn't peg her as the type to have romance on her radar. Really shows how much he could read people, huh?
Still... Lisa seemed happy, and she really couldn't have gone for a better person than Junna. Not that he was an expert in relationships in any way, shape or form, but...
As the initial shock of it starts to wear off, however, he can't help but look a little comically put out. Not because he was disappointed in this turn of events, mind you, but rather:]
Why didn't she tell me about it? I mean, I'm glad for you guys and all, but I'm her Mentor, for crying out loud! Isn't this the sort of thing you share with them or something?
[Said as somebody who probably hasn't actually told Ai about his own budding romance just yet, but. Shhhhhh]
