Oh no, my sweet baby. Surely, he had feelings for his friend, and these words hurt him deeply :(((((((
Hang in there, dear, big sis will give everyone a piece of her mind.
It's adorable how Mitsuki has become his safe and trusted adult figure. We've all had a hero like that in our childhood.
As for Mitsuki's response, I'll side with Aki, because Aya's fierce love alone has allowed her to show so much patience and support, and it's time for Mitsuki to acknowledge that.
