As Yu Chen and Hiromi Jounouchi were busy adjusting their creations, they did not neglect to handle the emotional entanglements between Inomata Naoki, Tokairin Yuko, and Minami.
Knowing Yu Chen’s plan, Hiromi Jounouchi didn’t quite agree with exploiting Inomata Naoki’s emotional issues, but she still cooperated fully with Yu Chen’s actions, advancing his plan.
“Honey, you just had Inomata-kun confess to Doctor Tokairin, and now you’re focused on Minami’s side, isn’t that inappropriate?” Walking with Yu Chen to Minami’s small shop, Hiromi Jounouchi asked him. freёnovelkiss.com
At this moment, they were both using Possessive Puppets, while their true bodies were busy in the Necromantic Space, adjusting the Blood Qi Armor and the Death Refusal Knight.
They were now on their way to the small shop because Yu Chen had suggested to Hiromi Jounouchi that they should go there for a meal, so they decided to go together after work.
But Hiromi Jounouchi knew that Yu Chen was advancing matters between Minami and Inomata Naoki, so she felt there was more to their visit than just a simple meal.
“It’s precisely because the love line with Doctor Tokairin has stabilized that I need to focus on Minami’s side,” explained Yu Chen to Hiromi Jounouchi.
“Minami is key to advancing the entire plan, while Doctor Tokairin serves as insurance.
I need to ensure that the whole plan progresses within my expectations, neither too fast nor too slow.”
Hearing this from Yu Chen, Hiromi Jounouchi acknowledged it but also asked, “But even so, honey, don’t you think this is a bit hasty?”
Hiromi Jounouchi had just witnessed Inomata Naoki’s confession to Tokairin Yuko and felt Yu Chen shouldn’t be so eager to advance things on Minami’s side.
Moreover, their true bodies were still dealing with the Undead Army, clearly indicating Yu Chen’s preparations for the divine war were not yet complete.
Pushing forward with Minami and Inomata Naoki’s affair at this time could catch him unprepared.
However, Yu Chen shook his head and said, “Hiromi, you’re misunderstanding.
Although I do intend to foster the marital fate between Minami and Naoki, today I’m merely here to confirm Minami’s views and thoughts regarding Naoki.
As for truly advancing their affection for each other, we don’t need to intervene.
All we have to do is create opportunities for them to meet and let nature take its course.”
“I see,” Hiromi Jounouchi nodded in understanding but posed another question to Yu Chen, “Honey, by advancing Inomata-kun and Minami’s emotions like this, how do you plan to deal with Doctor Tokairin once your plan is realized?”
“Regarding that issue…” Yu Chen hesitated for a moment before replying to Hiromi Jounouchi, “After everything ends, the dead will return to the dead, and the living will return to the living.
According to my plan, the boundary between life and death will not be completely shattered.”
“Doesn’t that mean Minami is… rather unfortunate?” Hiromi Jounouchi didn’t quite know what to say, but if everything went as Yu Chen planned, it seemed to her that ultimately Minami wouldn’t be able to be with Inomata Naoki, which made her feel sympathetic towards her.
Yu Chen slightly shook his head, somewhat helpless concerning his wife’s sympathetic mentality, and explained, “Wife, don’t forget that Minami died a long time ago.
She can never truly be with Naoki, so letting them have a love affair is already the greatest kindness we can offer her.”
“A love without an outcome, that’s so pitiful.
And honey, you’re still using her emotions,” Hiromi Jounouchi said, even though she had already decided to support Yu Chen’s plan, she still felt dissatisfied with Yu Chen exploiting Minami’s feelings.
“In this world, those who are pitied are not the ones being used, but those who aren’t even valuable enough to be used,” Yu Chen sighed lightly, unbothered by Hiromi Jounouchi’s dissatisfaction.
Although pleased with Hiromi Jounouchi’s benevolence, Yu Chen was not swayed, as compared to the potential consequences and the benefits he could obtain, exploiting a pitiful girl’s emotions was, at most, going to make him feel guilty, but it would not change his decision.
Hiromi Jounouchi naturally understood this too, so she merely complained and didn’t suggest that Yu Chen change his plans.
But perhaps out of sympathy for Minami, Yu Chen, after some consideration, still offered, “If you really think she’s that pitiful, wife, as long as it doesn’t lead to any uncontrollable consequences, I won’t stop you from doing what you want.”
“Do you mean…” Hiromi Jounouchi thought for a moment and then understood Yu Chen’s intention, nodding happily, “I got it, thank you, honey!”
“We are husband and wife; there’s no need for thanks!” Yu Chen smiled, took Hiromi Jounouchi by the hand, and the two entered the shop together.
As usual, several night-shift patrons were filling their hungry bodies and souls, the owner was still busy in the kitchen, and Minami was serving the customers.
Compared to Yu Chen’s last visit, however, Minami seemed somewhat more subdued today, not as lively as before.
“Welcome!” Still, hearing the chime of the doorbell, Minami greeted warmly, welcoming the arrival of the guests.
“When did they install a door chime here?” Yu Chen, looking at the wind chime he had touched at the door, greeted Minami, “The usual for me, steamed clams with wine, and a highball.”
“I’ll have the curry chicken rice,” Hiromi Jounouchi ordered as well, and although both were controlling Puppets, consuming food and enjoying the taste was still something Puppets could do.
Of course, regular people couldn’t tell that these two were Puppets.
Minami just greeted them and then went to the kitchen to inform the owner of their arrival.
The owner was a bit nervous as Minami had told him about meeting Inomata Naoki at the Tokyo Skytree.
He was worried Yu Chen and Hiromi Jounouchi might have come because of that incident.
But Yu Chen and Hiromi Jounouchi didn’t seem to be there for a confrontation.
It was only when Minami brought their food that Yu Chen casually asked her, “Minami, what do you think of Naoki?
I heard from Kaori that you encountered him at the Tokyo Skytree the other day.
What are your thoughts on him?”
“Mr.
Naoki?” Minami paused briefly at Yu Chen’s question but soon replied nonchalantly, “I don’t have any particular feelings.
I’ve only seen him twice, so we’re hardly acquainted.”
“Is that so?” Yu Chen looked at Minami with a meaningful glance but said no more.
