Hmm Yeah I don't recall seeing them actually
Yeah the way it ws written is seemed like that , it felt kind of rushed just like a epilogue sort of way. AnywayI feel it was too early for Soma to get that first seat, so now there won't be much of a sense of accomplishment or goal for him at the moment in the school well except to surpass Erina but still. Also disappointed that Erina's went from co-protagonist back to her role as barely there main character again just because of her new duties, so the situation is the same as before
I wonder if this is due to pressure from the editor, (or the feedback they get from their readers) who are upset that Erina/Souma ship got so much focus over the past two years, they needed to give Megumi/Souma fans something, what better way to get their hopes up than a hot springs arc? (I doubt the arc will be too long, most likely be a feeder arc that will give clues to who the main antagonist for the second part of the manga will be.
Why can't they make the pairing obvious like Ryou and Alice, we even see her get annoyed with Ryou's fangirls this week.
Btw: I noticed something strange this week, it appears that the girls in the manga all wear the school uniform like regular students, (the most deviation we've seen is Alice wearing her school jumper, yet the boys all have their own take on it, from the Yukihira T-shirt, to no uniform at all for Hayama.
