@booksmusicanimeDespite Yuko's attempts to be a role model, it had never truly worked with Itoeku. In fact it was rather opposite. The Shinki was the adult figure in this scenario, and the God was the one whom looked up to her. Itoeku constantly tried hard to prove points, to make things clear and set a good example, because even though Yuko was much older than she, she was still naive in some aspects.
"I want you to be happy, Yuko." Itoeku cooed, "Do you still want to go to the store? Or do you want to try socializing? Some Gods are nearby."
