By the end of the story, does Mahiru realize that Touma is his father? This question pertains specifically to this narrative and not the re:servamp line.
i think the answer is absolutely yes. we see them sitting together having some kind of conversation. at the dinner table mahiru always longed to sit at with his father (im surprised they didn’t add that one panel of it in this scene but we get the point.) and touma being who he is blows smoke in his face cause he doesn’t really know how to act around him, it’s his kid after all and he knows it. tooru is still more or the father figure and always will be to mahiru but getting this closure with his actual father and getting to know each other and form a bond, all be it a love/hate kind is a perfect way to close out this chapter.
