Wait, why did you think it hinted about them not together? Hirano lives by himself cause he already in uni, and working part time (wherever it is) is a normal thing especially when you were already a college student.
For me, it kinda hinted that they're already together (or at least Hirano had already figured his feelings for Kagiura) in SasaMiya spesial chapter long before this one (O forgot what chapter, but it was after when Hirano met Sasaki on a train) which showed Hirano went to meet up Kagiura just to see his face.
This one kinda hinted that Hirano already comfortable enough to tell Kagiura when he missed Kagiura and to just met up with Kagiura without any prior engagement JUST.TO.SEE.HIS.FACE >///<
That's why the newest special chapter didn't really hinted them being together or not imo.
we know they still not together when they in university.... at this point I'll be dead when they become a couple
