Speaking of which, I've always wondered whether what Noriko stated about "Maya being molested" in
Taco Tuesday truly is pointing at Sensei's relation with wizard Maya. Objectively speaking, there is almost no doubt in that according to the entire context of that event; you know, the whole tutor room flashback, the lil conversation about handjobs, some kind of prying at Sensei x Wizard Maya from Noriko, etc.
It's just......this means Noriko is righteous enough to be willing to, years later, describe behaviors of a person she likes for as long as she could remember as "
molesting", but is also love-drunk enough to
keep loving the said molester even today. This is more or less OK considering how Noriko's personalities are established; I guess this is a gasp at how Noriko defies "love is blind".
What I am trying here instead is presenting a minor possibility that pins the statement "Maya being molested" even further back in time, to before Maya even met Sensei. In this update we got a confirmation about Maya's favorite place being
a random vending machine somewhere near the halfway point between the home she had and the home she wanted. This resonates quite well with the little unknown story told in S.E.K.A.I., which is seemingly about "the fateful rendezvous of a runaway girl and a guy in front of vending machines".
I am not sure whether this vending machine is the exact same one which Maya Prime bought canned coffees for Sensei in early chapters, but that's besides the point. The point is IF this story REALLY is about Maya, then the proof of her being molested even further back in the past will be established by "She'd been previously exposed to the evils of man in the form of a distant relative", which
could be what Noriko is referring to. Even if this isn't what Noriko is talking about due to the fact that Noriko might not have a way to know all this, but what she said might ring a different bell in Maya's head.
(in simpler sentences: Noriko still thinks Sensei molested wizard Maya, but Maya fires back, implying "he was not; you don't fucking know the first thing about being molested)
Regardless, this remains a much minor possibility because 1) the little S.E.K.A.I. story has to be about Maya and not someone else, and 2) we have to ignore a good amount of subtexts in
Taco Tuesday.
