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.

Seeing this situation, Qingdai was anxious, knowing this was a task assigned by Chen Yu. freёnovelkiss.com

If she couldn’t complete it on time as he instructed, though Chen Yu had not mentioned what the consequences of failure would be, Qingdai certainly did not want to experience the displeasure of a demigod.

After giving it some serious thought, Qingdai decided that she should help Tokairin Yūko resolve her inner conflict.

She planned to call Tokairin Yūko out for a talk, comfort her, and then decide on her next course of action based on Yūko’s attitude and response.

Having decided on her plan, Qingdai invited Tokairin Yūko out.

The meeting place was a popular chain dessert shop in Tokyo that offered self-service.

After paying the dining fee, customers could eat all the desserts they wanted.

It could be considered a dreamland, especially popular among the young women of Tokyo and a haven for girls who loved sweets.

Tokairin Yūko was no exception; she had wanted to visit the shop several times but had been precluded by work.

Despite several attempts, she had never managed to queue up successfully, which she deeply regretted.

As a popular venue, it naturally drew a crowd and a long queue at the door.

Without arriving early, it was difficult to secure a seat.

But with Kyuuzai Ryousen’s secret assistance, Qingdai didn’t need to queue.

Having already reserved a table over the phone, she led Tokairin Yūko straight into the shop and sat down at the position that had been kept for them.

“How come I didn’t know you could reserve a table at this place?

Doctor Qingdai, how did you manage that?” Tokairin Yūko inquired curiously as she looked around at the dazzling array of desserts.

“I have a friend who is well acquainted with the owner of this shop, so I made a call and asked for a little favor,” Qingdai explained briefly, as she took off her coat and placed it on the sofa, “Let’s not talk about that now.

Let’s order something to eat first!

The strawberry cake here is really great!”

Hearing Qingdai say this, Tokairin Yuko didn’t hesitate either.

The two women quickly brought back a large pile of their favorite desserts and started to feast.

But to be honest, although this shop was extremely popular in Tokyo, and its desserts could not be considered inferior, they were only slightly better than those of an ordinary dessert shop and did not even match some less famous ones.

As the desserts in the shop needed to be produced in large quantities every day, most of them were made by machines on an assembly line.

Only a few popular desserts that were hand-made by the shop’s pastry chefs were available, and they were snatched up as soon as they were made.

Compared to the meticulously crafted desserts Tokairin Yuko had tasted at a specialized Michelin-starred restaurant when she dined with Inomata Naoki, these were naturally far inferior, but for Tokairin Yuko, they were just as delightful.

“I’ve wanted to come to this shop for a long time, but unfortunately, I’ve never managed to get a seat.

I’m really grateful to Doctor Qingdai for today!” Tokairin Yuko said, as she forked a piece of cake into her mouth and thanked Qingdai.

However, seeing Tokairin Yuko so excited, Qingdai didn’t seem nearly as thrilled.

On one hand, as a Transcendent, she didn’t need to consciously control her weight, but she still maintained the habit of not consuming too much sugar.

On the other hand, she had asked Tokairin Yuko out today to resolve the issues between her and Inomata Naoki, not to eat.

So, after seeing Tokairin Yuko bring back two portions of strawberry cake, Qingdai stopped what she was doing, wiped her mouth with a napkin, and asked, “Is it that delicious?

It just seems to taste like a normal dessert.

Doctor Tokairin, you’ve been to high-class restaurants, right?

Can the desserts here really compare with those upscale ones?”

“How could they be the same!

But you can’t eat dessert from high-class restaurants the way you can here!” Tokairin Yuko cut off a piece of cake topped with strawberries and cream and put it into her mouth, her face lighting up with a satisfied smile.

Seeing her like this, Qingdai couldn’t help but shake her head slightly and commented, “You’re really easy to please, Doctor Tokairin!”

“It’s not quite like that; I just have different expectations for different shops,” Tokairin Yuko swallowed the cake in her mouth before continuing, “I go to high-class restaurants to savor the chefs’ carefully prepared delicacies, to enjoy the flavor, not to fill my stomach.

When I come to a place like this, what I’m after is the sheer joy of indulging in sweet desserts to my heart’s content, not expecting them to be extremely delicious.

Of course, tasty things make me happier, but I won’t complain if the flavor is just average.”

Hearing Tokairin Yuko say this, Qingdai was slightly surprised and remarked, “I didn’t expect you to have such insights, Doctor Tokairin.

It’s quite unexpected!”

But after this exclamation, Qingdai continued to ask, “Speaking of which, don’t you think you’re expecting a bit too much from Inomata-kun, Doctor Tokairin?

You seem particularly concerned about that night at the Tokyo Skytree?”

“It’s not that I’m particularly concerned, but I just can’t let it go.” Tokairin Yuko was inevitably troubled when this topic came up, “On one hand, I know that Naoki doesn’t have special feelings for her, but I can’t help worrying that something might develop between them, to the point where I don’t even know how to face Naoki now.”

“If that’s the case, then why don’t you choose to trust Inomata-kun?

Since you think there’s nothing between them, you should be more open and trust him, or simply confess your feelings to him and settle the relationship.

Once your relationship is confirmed, you won’t have to feel so conflicted,” Qingdai suggested to Tokairin Yuko.

“Settle the relationship?” Hearing Qingdai say this, Tokairin Yuko hesitated.
