Presumably she knows what underwear she put on in the morning. Come on now!

She's trying to deny that the mental images come from herself. So, "oh dear, I think that's the exact bra I'm wearing now. No it couldn't possibly be." "I've got to go confirm this right this minute."

Well, I will accept that she's dumb as heck, and a teenager, but I think the real reason is that the author wanted to draw more fanservice!

That's certainly a logical conclusion.

Well Ayako, you could make passive use of your telepathy to train your ability to feel empathy.

I wouldn't call it cheating.

Good thing Ayako is a telepath. Dinner with a friend you didn't warn your parent about is super ackward. Never did that myself, no sir.

Well that and she's already got two people thinking about how long she's taking. It would be real awkward to have a romantic moment when you can tell everyone wants you to hurry the hell up.

Ha, he's worried when he thinks she can read him well through body language. He's going to flip once he realizes it's telepathy.

Wait, is Toda actually thinking that or is that just Nakano imagining what Toda is thinking?

I noticed that Toda has uncharacteristically had virtually no fantasies ever since Nakano's whole revelation about her coming up with the specific imagery.

Pretty sure the colored Nakano with the dialogue is her visualization based on his thought "Arrg, I want to ask her what she thinks of me. I really want to know" The line "do I have to spell it out for you" is unlikely to be his own, with his current incredible worry about what she thinks of him.

Well, can't say I haven't internally freaked out about forgetting a friends birthday before.

Not a great look for Toda that Nakano interrupts what she's hearing as him rolling on the ground having a nervous breakdown.

Toda status: Still freaking out.

Like seriously man, this is a good thing for you. Now your range of good gifts goes from "a thoughtful, appropriate present from a great friend" to "leftover stick of gum." You really can't lose here.

Also, a bit confused here, the colored Toda in the last panel is him actually talking right? Normally the colored people/words are internal thoughts or things Nakano is imagining, but the last panel here very much seem to be something he's saying out loud.

Oh, I know what he's trying to do. His word choice just sucks to do it unless that's a translation thing. "Hey, are you doing anything with our group of friends or Aya this Sunday?" would probably work better.

You can see Toda's thoughts too though. Her mother just is reacting louder with her thought.

It's the outside for once. Apparently, having the girls parents watching as you ask the girl out is stressful enough to effect Mr Stoicism.

Good boy Toda. You not only went with the "help her study route" but you went with the "help her by going to a university open-house" route.

For all his supposed lewd thoughts, the guy obviously cares a bit about Aya's wellbeing.

He is, and he's being honest with her about the prospects of the group staying together.

Not so good for his prospects of dating her though.

Doesn't it kind of depend how far they're going for university? Like even if the universities are different, if they're in the same or nearby cities it's not exactly a big deal.

In my experience, it was a challenge for a few HS friends to keep relationships going even if the university was close by. Completely doable, but it imposes some additional complications even for established couples.

Possibly, though I think it likely at some point, if the author wants to make them a couple. Could be at the end of the comic though.

I'm not imagining him experimenting with this, Aya making excuses to run away...

This would be so great, because it's not like Aya wouldn't know it was coming. Toda thought "Okay, time to try and experimen". Aya "Okay I've got to go right now!"
