Isshiki Kazumasu, on the surface, is a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, and one of the strong candidates for the next Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare, as well as a member of the National Diet, but in reality, he is also a member of the Mingyue Society.
The reason he knew Tokairin Yuko was that he had visited UDI, and the reason he visited UDI was that he had met Director Kamikura of UDI at a Mingyue Society gathering and learned that Director Kamikura knew Chen Yu.
Therefore, when he saw Tokairin Yuko looking anxious on the roadside, Isshiki Kazumasu naturally had his driver stop, and he greeted Tokairin Yuko.
Upon learning that Tokairin Yuko was waiting for a car due to a subway malfunction, Isshiki Kazumasu thought for a moment and then said to Tokairin Yuko, "Doctor Tokairin, if you don't mind, please take my car. I just happen to have some matters to attend to in Chiyoda, and it's on the way. I can give you a ride."
"Ah! How could I impose! Representative Isshiki, you are a busy person, there's no need to bother with me. I'll just take a taxi later," said Tokairin Yuko, quickly shaking her head in refusal. A member of the National Diet was not just someone like her director, joked about being a relegated high-ranking official; she, a mere forensic doctor, could not afford to provoke a real high-ranking government official with substantial power.
Even if Isshiki Kazumasu meant well, Tokairin Yuko felt that getting on his car could possibly bring trouble.
But for reasons unknown, Isshiki Kazumasu still maintained a smile and said to Tokairin Yuko, "What does it matter? Besides, as a member of the National Diet, is it wrong for me to offer some effortless help to a citizen in need? Moreover, Doctor Tokairin, if you're going to meet your boyfriend, it wouldn't be good to be late, would it?"
After being addressed like this by Isshiki Kazumasu, Tokairin Yuko hesitated. Ultimately, between the potential trouble and being late for a date with her boyfriend, she felt being late for the date to be the bigger hassle. So after bowing to Isshiki Kazumasu, she said, "Then I'll be in your care, Representative Isshiki. I'm sorry for the inconvenience."
"Not at all, not at all. Who hasn't been young before? When I was just a junior government employee, I've also rushed to meet a date, panting and out of breath. Those were the days!" Isshiki Kazumasu said polite words as he opened the car door for Tokairin Yuko to get in.
With the assistance of the representative, Tokairin Yuko was naturally able to head smoothly towards the restaurant where she had arranged to meet Inomata Naoki.
However, all of this was giving Kusanagi Motoko an especially big headache. Today's events involved too many elements: a major Tokyo subway shutdown, a National Diet member, a Sub-Legendary Transcendent, and a Magician who could make people disappear...
All these things seemed to be connected by an invisible chain, and Kusanagi Ritsuko believed that if she could grasp this chain, she'd have the key clue, understand the purpose of the string-puller behind it all, and know how to unravel everything.

But no matter how hard Kusanagi Ritsuko tried to think and analyze, she just couldn't find the internal connection between all these events.
Just as Kusanagi Ritsuko was scratching her head over this, the team monitoring Minami sent new information: "They've finished their meal and are leaving the restaurant, preparing to leave Shibuya; they might go to Tokyo Skytree to view the night scene."
"Tokyo Skytree?!" Kusanagi Ritsuko was startled and finally connected all the dots.
Using the Magician to create a diversion, allowing the Sub-Legendary Kojo Kyoko to appear by Minami's side while also controlling their departure time from Shibuya, then causing the subway to halt during Tokairin Yuko's commute, delaying her arrival at Tokyo Skytree...
Kusanagi Ritsuko could imagine what was going to happen next. If nothing went wrong, it would be Inomata Naoki and Tokairin Yuko who had just finished dinner going to view the Tokyo Skytree night scene and then encountering Minami and her party.
Realizing what was at stake, Kusanagi Ritsuko quickly shouted into the walkie-talkie, "Stop them! They must not go to Tokyo Skytree!"
"Roger that!" The team monitoring Minami was startled by Kusanagi Ritsuko's excited voice but replied immediately and began to take action.

"I'm so full! The Thai food was pretty good too!" Minami patted her slightly bulging stomach contentedly and said with a smile, "Shall we just go back, or shall we browse around a bit more? It's rare to come out."
Even though she didn't want to go out before leaving, Minami, who hadn't shopped for many years, felt the trip was still too short and was reluctant to go home.
"Let's go to Tokyo Skytree then! I've heard the night view at Skytree is beautiful!" Kohinata Kaori, hearing Minami's remark, volunteered.
"Tokyo Skytree, huh! Sounds good! Shall we go there now?" When Minami heard Kohinata Kaori mention Skytree, she was quite intrigued. Before her accidental death, Tokyo only had Tokyo Tower, and she was eager to see this new Tokyo Skytree.
Upon hearing Minami's interest, Kohinata Kaori took out her phone, intending to check if Skytree was still open at night, but instead found news about a massive Tokyo subway disruption.
"Eh? The Tokyo subway is in a complete shutdown due to a malfunction?" Kohinata Kaori was surprised as she read the news headline. A Tokyo subway shutdown was big news.
But besides being surprised, she was more concerned about their inability to travel: "If the subway's down, won't we be unable to go there? Taxis are very expensive!"
"How about we take a bus? The bus should be able to get us there too, right?" Minami, hearing what Kohinata Kaori said, although surprised by the total subway shutdown, was more concerned about whether they could still get to Tokyo Skytree.
However, Kohinata Kaori shook her head and said, "Trying to get on a bus now might be very troublesome. Tokyo's buses are already crowded, and with the subway stopped, everyone will be cramming into buses. I think we'll find it hard to catch one."
Just as the two were fretting about this, Kojo Kyoko spoke up, "If that's the case, I have a friend who lives nearby and has a car; we could ask him to drive us there."
"Really? Wouldn't that be too much trouble for your friend?" Minami asked, feeling a bit overwhelmed, quickly seeking confirmation from Kojo Kyoko.
"Not at all. For him, it's just a small favor." Kojo Kyoko was quite certain about this, as the friend she was referring to was a subordinate in the Mingyue Society. Asking the Mingyue Society to do something, for her, was certainly no trouble at all.
