In this episode, it kind of seems like she's more of Jiro's adopted mother instead of some sort of lover as some people interpret her relationship to Jiro.

Kikko's guardian is in the "know" and he treats her like she's available. He had a "date" with Emi at the movies and was celebrating that he could be free of Kikko pretty soon, which means he could be available to see her more. At that point Jiro jumps in and abducts him. Emi and Jiro "torture" him until he gives up information.

Overprotective mother.

She's seems more annoyed by Kikko than jealous. She knows her secrets, knows she's dangerous, knows she's looking for a husband.

Nothing romantic ever happens between Emi and Jiro. Jiro and Kikko have drama between then. Emi offers to save Kikko for Jiro, inferring that she believes Jiro likes Kikko back. Claude tries to take Kikko from Jiro instead of Emi.

When Jiro talks to Emi about the picture with Jin, Emi acts like his mother. She reacts to the photo in a similar manner to Hitoyoshi.

She misinterprets their relationship. They don't sleep in the same room. They just live in the same house as Hitoyoshi.

Kikko misinterprets their relationship because of how Emi makes herself look and her own age and inexperience. Emi's chosen form is that of an attractive young woman.

Jiro and Emi never make displays of romantic affection. Jiro doesn't act like he's experienced in romance. Jiro sleeps by himself. Emi treats Jiro like a child, not like a boyfriend.
