In line with the chess / 9LX references of this series, I find the last part
of [S02E10](https://kaguyasama-wa-kokurasetai.fandom.com/wiki/Episode_22)
(specifically [Chapter 86](https://kaguyasama-wa-
kokurasetai.fandom.com/wiki/Chapter_86)) to be something like a potential
checkmate/resign or at least a flag (losing on time, particularly in a winning
or drawish position) for Kaguya. I imagine:

> Dad: Well, Miyuki, I caught this girl cheering for you privately and then
> afterwards Kaguya was talking about how you have 'well-defined' eyes. (In
> the manga, this is 'beautiful, piercing eyes'.) I also asked if Kaguya has
> any romantic interest in you, but Kaguya didn't answer.
>
> Miyuki: Oh, is that so, Shinomiya? '[O kawaii
> yatsume](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/66660/whats-the-
> difference-between-kaguyas-o-kawaii-koto-and-miyuki-shiroganes).'

([Your move, Shinomiya](https://i.stack.imgur.com/2pEMP.jpg). Now, this isn't
necessarily a losing position. But Kaguya is gonna have to come up with a
response fast or get flagged.)

**Question** : Anyway, it seems Miyuki's dad doesn't say anything like this (I
checked the next few chapters to be sure, but there might've been something
later on. IDK). **Is Miyuki's dad, then, simply respecting Kaguya's privacy**
or something like in [Bakuman
S01E03](https://bakuman.fandom.com/wiki/Episode_3) (or [Chapter
4](https://bakuman.fandom.com/wiki/Chapter_4)) where Miyuki Azuki (Miho
Azuki's mom) respects Moritaka Mashiro's privacy? (Maybe Miyuki Shirogane's
paternal grandfather did the same for Miyuki Shirogane's mom?) Something
like...

> Miyuki: What did you talk about?
>
> Dad: Oh, that's our little secret.

**Or perhaps Miyuki's dad thinks** 'If my son's gonna win love is war, then I
don't want it to be because of me. I want the win to be of Miyuki's own
accord' ? Something like... [Mr. Shirogane Wants to _Pry_](https://kaguyasama-
wa-kokurasetai.fandom.com/wiki/Chapter_86), but Mr. Shirogane doesn't want to
_interfere_?

Was Miyuki Shirogane's dad simply respecting Kaguya's privacy?


Based on [S03E06](https://kaguyasama-wa-
kokurasetai.fandom.com/wiki/Episode_30) (specifically [Chapter
111](https://kaguyasama-wa-kokurasetai.fandom.com/wiki/Chapter_111))

We see Miyuki's dad
