I understand what you meant. If the purpose is to nullify the tension, this arc was completely unnecessary. Because the chapters before the start of this arc and after the end of the music festival arc did just that with much better writing.
Do you not consider those the same because they're not part of an arc? Or is it because it fleshed out the characters much more than necessary for "tension nullification"? Did you not find the humor in there as good as during this arc?
Even if it's supposed to be filler, it still doesn't excuse lackluster writing. The way conflict and it's resolution were written in this arc was underwhelming at best. Relying only on past gimmicks to entertain the readers. If this was how it's supposed to be written then I'd rather have this be in 1 or 2 chapters rather than 12.
The only thing that we know about Kerori from this chapter, is that
. Aside from that, we don't learn anything new. Compare that to how past arcs developed her.
Compared to this arc, this arc's development is lackluster at best, and damaging at worst. Not to mention this arc puts Kerori as the focus meanwhile only 1 focused on her while other past arcs didn't focus on her.
I admit I sound overly antagonizing towards this arc, but that's because this is the first bad arc in the entire series, which broke my heart. Though I expected the series would stumble eventually, I didn't expect it to come right after the best arc of the series (ignoring the episodic chapters).
Because in my view this series hasn't let me down for 180 chapters which was impressive especially for a weekly shounen series, and right after it achieved its highest heights, it fell flat on it's face. So excuse me if I sound a little miffed.

I agree with the sentiment, but I'd appreciate it if you don't mix people who dislike it for the inclusiveness with people who dislike it for the lackluster writing. And I'll do my best to leave the people who enjoy the representation as long as they understand why I have my gripes with this arc.
Though I have to add something. If you think that someone who dislikes something just because of the presence of a same sex relationship is sad, then by that logic it's also fair to say people who likes something just because there is a presence of same sex relationship is equally sad. Not putting words in your mouth, just an observation.

she has a crush on Gyari but she doesn't openly reciprocate Gyari's love, not to the public and not even to Gyari herself
We learn from the 1st evidol arc about Kerori's motivation in life, In the training arc we learn about how Kerori developed her innate skills and how she uses them in the treasure hunt arc (also that she remains kind to her subjects Except for Gyari), and finally in the music festival arc we learn how much passion she puts in to her work.
