Just to put this out there, Chika does believe, if not for Sensei, she would have probably accepted Rin:
Which she's told Otoha:
So, the only things presumably keeping them apart, are their toxic cheating significant others who even know Chika and Rin deserve better than them.
Exactly, a devoted type, she would never cheat, probably even if she found out she was already being cheated on. I could see her ending the relationship she's in entirely, which would open her up to being with Rin, but she would probably try to work things out first before taking a step like that considering this is Chika we're talking about. In fact, I think she might be the only girl in the game that would try to keep it going despite everything.
If one of the two of them were to break up i would definitely put my money on Rin and otoha.
The reason being that Chika and sensei breaking up would be a lot of trouble that is still too soon. If it were to happen it would probably be in a "dark phase" update where everyone and everything is falling apart.
Another reason that Rin breaking up with Otoha means that Rin can finally hook up with sensei (which means more content and more events and lust scenes yay)
This may sound unbelievable but sensei would definitely be a better partner for Rin than Otoha.
Same considering what Rin has already started saying and how Otoha treats her, those two ending is far more likely than anything on Chika's end. I'm not so sure Sensei would be better for Rin, though. About the only differences between the two is he is less open about it and isn't as controlling over what the girls he's with do.
Actually, I think it's easily believable. Sensei cares a lot about Rin:
To the point even he seemed affected by the fact Otoha cheated on her:
Meanwhile, there's Otoha:
Not to mention, I doubt Rin would go into a relationship with Sensei expecting to be his one and only, so even him fucking others wouldn't really be cheating.
Hell, she'd probably be down for watching him fuck other girls, if they weren't into her:
and helping prepare the girls if they were:
Honestly, if Otoha hadn't been so Otoha in their relationship, I doubt it'd even hurt Rin all that much to find out she cheated. Let alone on an Idol that Rin probably wants to fuck as well. It's just the hypocrisy, secrecy, and complete disregard for Rin's feelings that's going to hurt her.
Yes, it would be cheating unless an open relationship is specifically agreed upon by both sides of a relationship, it doesn't really matter if she's okay with him being with other girls, that just means she's okay with being cheated on, which doesn't make much sense considering how she's reacting to even the unconfirmed thought of that with Otoha. Yes, I am aware of her comments in front of Kaori, but I don't believe she meant this as being interested in watching the two of them and prepping Kaori while in a relationship with Sensei, I don't think being in a relationship with Sensei was even part of her thought process at the time.
Before I forget, I'd like to point out that Rin seems like she'd even be fine with Ami joining in with her and Sensei:
To be frank, Rin x Sensei might be one of the most functional possible relationships, well, possible. The only real problem is Rin prefers girls, and I suppose she kind of sucks at secrets which could be a problem.
She prefers girls for now, bisexuality can change in either direction at basically any time given the right push. Considering what we're seeing with Otoha, that push might be coming and I think it will come with the end of their relationship. A second failed attempt at being with another girl and she possibly starts thinking maybe the one guy who has been there when those attempts fell apart would be better as a third than yet another girl. Once the relationship ends, she's going to most likely be looking for the least likely person to hurt her in her eyes and that's very likely someone who has been there to help the whole time even if it is for his own reasons.
For this reason, there may be a chance she might already be thinking of an open relationship despite what I said above, which would eliminate cheating from the equation as you said. She might be getting into that kind of mindset considering she's already aware he isn't that loyal. She might just have conditions that he gives her the experience she's looking for, a proper relationship with someone who treats her like a romantic partner with all the stuff that goes with it:
they both care about each other and can do normal dating stuff.

I understand that my words may sound strange now, given the fact that reading the above, I get the impression that I am reading another novel, but let's say all of the above thoughts are true. Otoha Scum, Rin is cool and that's all the rest. But, I have a few questions.
First, the Rin from the first chapter before the rework, the Rin of the first chapter after the rework, the Rin of the second chapter and the Rin of the third chapter are four different Rins. Which one are you talking about? From my point of view, a normal Rin existed only before the rework.
Second, If Rin is so perceptive, why then she didn't know that Molly was in love with her? Why she didn't realize that Molly wouldn't let Otoha play because of jealousy? What Noriko is understood, by the way.
And if she's so perceptive, why she did react to Sensei's name like that?
And most importantly, if she is so perceptive, why then why can't feel for almost six months that she Otoha, as you put it, cheated her
She is perceptive and she knew Molly liked her, but she was also blinded by her own feelings twice, neither time having feelings for Molly. She already suspects that Otoha is cheating or is at least worrying about it, that's why people see her as being as perceptive as they do. Otoha has never really shown her openly cheating side to Rin, she has only ever cheated or mentioned cheating where Rin couldn't have been able to find out. However, she treats Rin so badly that it can barely even be considered treating Rin as human let alone as a lover. It wouldn't be that far of a stretch to connect that kind of treatment to being cheated on.
Agree; god I want to see that happen so bad!
The fact the Sensei doesn't mind her issues and Rin doesn't mind his fucking around issues (under one condition: she gets to watch or join) are such a match made in heaven. Like, in addition to her roommate and workplace boss, Rin even gives you the pass to go over her mom, what a teenager!
Since. day. one. Rin is my number one favorite, contrary to my usual likes in fiction which would have others in that spot like Ami or Chinami. This, Rin x Sensei (Rinsei? Seirin? Rinsen? Senrin?), is a relationship I have been wanting to see since the very beginning of development. Yes, I supported Rin x Chika (Chikarin?), but I mainly wanted and still want to see her with Sensei when the story allows for it.
You're suuuuuure Rin is loyal??? Someone who groped another girl's tit right in from of her girlfriend on the first day of relationship??

Just kidding! Pretty sure she is loyal
To a fault...and her own detriment, unfortunately.
How convenient it is for you to tear a phrase out of context and attract meaning to it. Instead of realizing that the author takes and makes situations such as he needs. The characters behave this way because they have to, not because they are like that. he puts in the thoughts that you should think, and then he put everything else into the black screen, saying that this is what Otoha did. And most importantly, you forget the words on the banana, from which Otoha did not depart for a second. At the same time, you hypocritically accuse her of all sins, putting in front of the infallible one who does everything only for herself and with rare exceptions for Futaba.
If you tell me that Otoha forced Rin not to communicate with anyone, then this is not in the novel. This is behind a black screen, and in the betrayal branch there is also a pattern where Rin is to blame herself. Well, of course, a chapter and a half in every dialogue to mention that you are a traitor. Anyone will stop communicating there. And especially considering that you can stick your fingers in Chika before the first dialogue with Rin, when she mentions her.
And of all the branches of the plot, Rin herself created such a OTOHA SCUM for herself with endless sexual pressure, and if I had a choice, I would like them never to meet. Otoha deserves more and normal. And not this monster, which was once smart somewhere, but she had nothing left with the rework at all, and in the third chapter she behaves like a clown, which 0.33 showed even more.
By the way, what Rin said in the rework that she was going for a walk with a girl with whom they could never be together. And then this mention of the bottle crosses out everything. Rin sat and insisted that Molly fulfill her whim, not understanding the nature of her behavior, although only a blind person there will not understand what the reason is. And this is a stone in the garden of one genius who broke more than he repaired with a rework
She did not create the Otoha we see in game, that's how Otoha already was. Rin just didn't see it coming until she was already dating Otoha. Again, she was too blind to what was right in front of her because of her hormones and her own feelings toward Otoha that got compounded by the rejection from Chika before that. Otoha has never gone so far as to forbid interaction with the other girls or Sensei, she just doesn't treat Rin like a lover would and goes behind Rin's back when Rin can't possibly know she's doing something like cheating due to not being there. A person can be the most perceptive on the planet, but that's not going to let them know their lover is cheating on them when they aren't even there.
Random, but I decided to check out how "Huggy Boy" Chinami is, and:
It was a mistake...
I should not have been looking at this mid drink, this is hilarious.
