In fact, if there is no chance, the relationship will be fine (bushi). The process of the male protagonist being pried into her heart is not "I, a traditional mountain, will be in an uproar for her", but a choice after thinking that the pros and cons are weighed, but in fact, I find that I have already been manipulated by habit...
