I can't wait to read that argument between Kyoko and Sho; he kissed her even after Tsuruga told her not to let Sho kiss her again, and now she's thinking about his parents visiting, Sho is encouraging her to say no when they ask her to go back to Kyoto with them. Maybe we will finally learn what he meant when he said that her "tiny shred of confidence is about to be snuffed out pretty soon" back in Chp. 189.
Poor Tsuruga, having to resort to late night visits with such frivolous reasoning and practically re-writing the book on etiquette in order to get Kyoko to open up to him. But he's pretty close to the breaking point. He even let Kijima know that he likes Kyoko, and he had the guts to kiss her as Corn. He is no longer jealous of himself in that regard as evidenced by his letting Kyoko tell him all about her kiss with Corn and then letting her cry her eyes out while she thought she was hugging Corn. But all this must make him think that she doesn't even see him as a man, hahaha!
I almost want to bet money that he asks if the role of the wandering samurai has been filled yet :)
