Mahiru has outright expressed that she loves Karen who is very male lover for Hikari and in this case it’s joint. But it really doesn’t get more explicit than that, we don’t observe them kissing or anything, I might even exclaim that the relationships even borderline on class S (”pure chaste love” between schoolgirls), after all they are all minors in an exclusive all-girl college.
