Intertwining Plots is the one-hundred-and-forty-fifth chapter of the Mato Seihei no Slave manga.
Summary[]
While giving her Slave reward, Kyouka observes the sleeping Yuuki and kisses him on the forehead as she considers how hard he fought in the battle against Ren.
Later, four days before voting for the election begins, Kyouka meets with Reiko, who remarks how impressed she was by Kyouka's performance in the fight. Kyouka asks if she will support her in the election and Reiko replies that she will consider it.
Meanwhile, Konomi trains with Yuuki in his Hagoromo form. Konomi informs Yuuki that she is thinking hard about who to vote for and, although she previously had no problems with Ren, she is considering whether to change her vote. Yuuki suggests that she talk with Kyouka more, though he wishes he could "loosen her up" more.
Later, Yuuki tickles Konomi extensively as his Slave reward. Konomi wonders why this would be a reward, and Yuuki replies that it will help them relax. Yuuki tickles her some more before Konomi turns the tables, climbs on top of him, and begins to tickle him in return.
Elsewhere, Fubuki talks with Tobera about the election, explaining that she is considering not voting for Ren. Fubuki further admits she is impressed by both Kyouka and Mira, and Tobera suggests that becoming Mira's first supporter could lead to good things for the Azumas. Fubuki believes she could gain votes through the Azumas' contacts, but doesn't want to dismiss Kyouka outright either, due to the aid she's given Himari.
A day later, Yuuki is accosted by Ren who remarks how hard he fought against her, and threatens that she may "discipline" both him and Kyouka. She relents, stating that she must first win the election. As Ren departs, Yuuki admits that she is amazing, but Kyouka will still not lose (though, internally, he acknowledges how scary Ren is). Yuuki is then approached by Varvara who compliments him for standing up for Kyouka. Varvara invites him to pray for Kyouka alongside her within her cathedral, which Yuuki accepts.
Meanwhile, Reiko approaches Kyouka and apologizes, stating she will not be able to vote for her, and abruptly departs. Seeing Reiko was under clear duress, Kyouka concludes that Ren likely warned her not to vote against her. Kyouka furthers considers that, while opinions of her have gone up since the battle, it wasn't enough to definitively get anyone on her side.
In the kitchen, Yuuki talks with Mira as the prepares food for everyone, and Mira tells him not to overexert himself. Naon then enters and expresses her concerns about Ren winning the election and the fate of the Humanoid Shuuki. A flashback shows she is still greatly disturbed just by the presence of Wakako Kinokuni. Yuuki and Mira assure her that things will change now the activities of the Onmyou Agency have come to light, but Naon believes they could just come up with some excuse to continue on. As Mira reassures her, Yuuki considers what more he can do for Kyouka. Suddenly, he has an epiphany and realizes there is something else he can do.
