Hood was briefed on the mission details by Chen Yu before she arrived, and even the four young girls of the 6th Destroyer Squadron were aware of their roles, which is why Akatsuki was unwilling to play earlier.
However, according to Chen Yu’s plan, all they needed to do was pretend to encounter each other by chance, then let the 6th Destroyer Squadron innocently provoke the situation.
Meanwhile, Chen Yu would secretly influence the emotions of the two individuals, causing a shift in their feelings for each other and thus bridging the gap from would-be lovers to an actual couple.
The relationship between Tokairin Yūko and Inomata Naoki was crucial to the progress of the entire plan.
With the Red String of Fate around Minami already showing signs of change, Chen Yu couldn’t afford to let their relationship develop at its own slow pace.
If it took these two slow-warmers several months without progress, while Minami grew fond of Inomata Naoki, that could disrupt Chen Yu’s master plan.
Although the worst-case scenario would simply lead to a true divine battle, which Chen Yu could sufficiently handle with the preparations made so far, it’s always better to be overprepared.
Since there was a method to buy time, why not follow the original plan instead of gambling on potential accidents that might or might not happen?
For a Necromancer, guiding someone’s emotions is an easy task.
After all, human emotions are influenced by various hormones in the body, and controlling a person’s hormone secretions is something a Necromancer, who intricately understands the human body’s structure, can do with just a flick of the wrist.
As for love, despite humans expending great effort and ink to extol it, in the end, so-called love is nothing but a mix of five hormones.
Phenethylamine makes one fall in love, dopamine conveys messages of excitement and pleasure, norepinephrine gives the feeling of a racing heart in love, endorphins create a prolonged sense of happiness between lovers, and oxytocin from the pituitary gland is the key hormone controlling the fidelity in love.
By influencing the secretion of these five hormones in the body, one can make a person suddenly feel love and their heart flutter, leading them to fall hopelessly and devotedly in love with someone.
For Tokairin Yūko and Inomata Naoki, who already had a mutual liking for one another, all that was missing was norepinephrine.
Norepinephrine, a hormone that makes you strongly desire a romantic relationship with another person, is a key factor in cementing love—and it is mostly derived from being touched emotionally, with hero saves beauty being one example.
But not every individual gets such an opportunity, though language can achieve a similar effect, which is why many people who may look average or even unattractive yet are eloquent, do not lack for partners.
Because they like to say what the other person wants to hear, causing the other person to be touched and stimulating the secretion of norepinephrine.
However, for a Necromancer who extensively studies the human body’s structure, there is no need for such tedious efforts.
With just one gesture, one look, Chen Yu was more than capable of controlling the hormone secretions in a person’s body.
And now, Chen Yu was already controlling the emotional hormones in both Inomata Naoki and Tokairin Yūko, causing them to feel very happy and secure together.
As the parties involved, Tokairin Yūko and Inomata Naoki were completely unaware, each simply feeling a bit nervous today and finding the other particularly attractive.
Watching the two indulging in their sweet moments, Chen Yu, although the creator of the situation, did not enjoy watching others display affection.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Yu said to Inomata Naoki, “With the atmosphere between you two so heated, I won’t be the third wheel here.
I’ll go browse around by myself, you two feel free to do as you please.
Contact me when you want to leave, and I’ll wait for you at the exit.”
Having said that, Chen Yu didn’t wait for Inomata Naoki’s response, waved to him and walked into the crowd, leaving Naoki unable to stop him in time.
Watching Chen Yu disappear into the crowd, Inomata Naoki and Tokairin Yuko exchanged a glance, both seeing embarrassment and helplessness in each other’s eyes.
“Then…
shall we take a look around?” Facing the situation at hand, Inomata Naoki didn’t know what else to say, so he suggested taking a look around to ease the awkwardness.
Tokairin Yuko was also caught off guard by Chen Yu’s abrupt departure, but the prospect of being alone with Inomata Naoki made her happy, so she nodded and followed by his side, moving into the throng of the exhibition.

Meanwhile, Chen Yu had already met up with Hood and the 6th Destroyer Squadron.
“Commander, Akatsuki has been executing the mission seriously!
Rai-chan and the others…
they are gathering intelligence!
They’re not playing!” Seeing Chen Yu appear, Akatsuki, being the elder sister, stepped forward to cover for Rai, who was still lingering at a booth, while Hibiki and Dian stood behind Akatsuki, with both hiding their hands behind their backs, clearly not wanting Chen Yu to see what they were holding.
However, this was futile because Hibiki and Dian’s small statures couldn’t conceal the large shopping bags behind them or the various ship-girl merchandise inside them.
Chen Yu could tell that these little girls had purchased merchandise of their own 6th Destroyer Squadron.
They were evidently surprised at how popular they were.
Even though their memories had been imbued with the Power of Faith when they were summoned, their personalities were also influenced by this power, hence the four girls of the 6th Destroyer Squadron were very well-behaved and sensible.
Even the liveliest amongst them, Rai, was just energetic and playful, not mischievous.
On seeing Chen Yu, Rai quickly ran over from a nearby booth, saluted, and said, “Commander, the 6th Destroyer Squadron is carrying out a special recon mission!
I found many pictures of us, the 6th Destroyer Squadron.
Commander, why does everyone like to draw us so much?
Just now, Dian-chan even saw someone who printed her on a pillow, and it was so H!”
Faced with the innocent Rai asking such a question in earnest, even Chen Yu found it hard to cope, especially after seeing the body pillow of Dian that Rai mentioned, which indeed had a very H picture.
It was common for R18 items to appear at such exhibitions, but if a primary schooler was dressed as the same character…
that was indeed a situation where one could call the police.
“That’s because all members of the 6th Destroyer Squadron are cute and good children!” Perhaps seeing Chen Yu’s discomfort, Hood walked up beside him, took Akatsuki and Rai by the shoulders, huddled them close, and said with a smile to Rai.
With Hood’s words, all four girls of the 6th Destroyer Squadron immediately became happy, circling around Chen Yu to confirm if it was true.
Seeing this, Chen Yu could only nod his head, affirming their sentiment, and at the same time said to Hood, “They’re here, prepare to begin the operation.”
“Yes, Commander!” Upon hearing Chen Yu’s words, both Hood and the 6th Destroyer Squadron’s faces grew serious, and they saluted Chen Yu in acknowledgment.
