While Chen Yu was busy preparing an army to face the battle of the gods, Qingdai was also trying to advance the relationship between Tokairin Yūko and Inomata Naoki as per his instructions.
However, the situation was not going smoothly, or rather, the unexpected encounter with Minami at the Tokyo Skytree had a greater impact on Tokairin Yūko than Qingdai had anticipated.
For Tokairin Yūko, the fact that other women were interested in the man she liked didn't affect her much, but the way Minami looked at Inomata Naoki that night was indeed disconcerting and made Tokairin Yūko suspect that there might be something between Inomata Naoki and Minami.
Yet, the openness displayed by Inomata Naoki in this matter made Tokairin Yūko feel that she might be overthinking it.
Caught between these two conflicting feelings, Tokairin Yūko was somewhat at a loss on how to face Inomata Naoki, and this led to difficulties in advancing their relationship.
