Whilst going on a trip to the beach with her parents and friends, Inari notices that Chika isn't too fond of Akemi, as she feels she can't get along with her since they are so different from each other. As Akemi notices the same thing, Keiko tells her about how Inari is able to become friends with anyone, which leaves Akemi a little jealous of her. Later that night, after Inari ends up arguing with Chika about Akemi, she transforms into Keiko to protect Akemi from an overenthusiastic boy, whilst Keiko herself assures Chika that their friendship won't be changed by Akemi being friends with them. After Inari returns to her normal form, Akemi, believing Keiko had left her behind, vents her frustration that she is jealous of Inari's closeness to Keiko, stating her wish to become her. This causes an influx of divine power from Inari as she considers if she should grant her wish, which also has an adverse effect on Uka.
