21st Century Necromancer

In modern society, when there are conflicts between couples, often many times it's because of issues with children.

Reproduction, rearing, education, development… There are indeed too many topics that cause annoyance and lead to arguments, and these are exactly the root of conflicts for many couples.

Of course, there are also more profound emotional issues that lead to martial conflicts, but that is not within the scope of our discussion here.

For Yu Chen and Hiromi Jounouchi, they should be blissfully married, a time when the love between spouses is deep.

But a topic about children still inevitably led to some disagreements between them that should not have existed.

Although it did not lead to conflicts or affect their marital affection, if disagreements cannot be communicated and resolved well, they might evolve into irreconcilable conflicts.

In Yu Chen's view, children are not a necessity in marriage.

Marriage is for two people to be together, to find a life partner for oneself; children are just by-products of marriage, a responsibility rather than an inevitability.

If you're not prepared to be a parent, there's absolutely no need to have children because if you're not ready for the arrival of a life, the ensuing troubles and annoyances will make your life a mess.

Raising a child is not just about bringing them into the world, providing food and clothing; you also have to teach them the principles of being human, to make them understand that they are living in this world as a person, not as a scoundrel or a beast.

It is a responsibility, the responsibility that parents must bear when bringing a life into this world, and also the responsibility parents must bear towards society when raising a child.

However, more and more young parents are together merely because of love, and naturally what follows is the desire to have children without considering what this entails, nor preparing to take on the responsibilities they ought to bear.

Some even marry with the sole purpose of having children, but after birth, they treat the child as a burden, not wanting to care for, nurture or educate.

As a result, there are more and more unruly children nowadays, which essentially stems from their parents failing to take on their due responsibilities.

And Yu Chen, clearly felt he was not prepared to welcome a new life into his own.

Especially since he and Hiromi Jounouchi had just married, there was absolutely no need to consider having children so soon. Moreover, both being transcendent individuals with special traits, not only was the difficulty in having a child great and the time long, but more importantly, because of the inheritance of Divinity and Legendary Dragon Bloodline, their children would be born with immense power.

A regular unruly child is trouble enough, but what about one holding a nuclear bomb in their hands?

It was precisely these considerations that Yu Chen didn't want children.

Only for Hiromi Jounouchi, her views were somewhat different.

She could of course understand Yu Chen's concerns and realized how terrifying it could be if a child inheriting her Legendary Dragon Bloodline and Yu Chen's Demigod Divinity were to throw a tantrum. To put it unpleasantly, while other children's mischief might at most damage some collectible action figures, their child might literally tear down half a street.

Despite this, Hiromi Jounouchi still hoped to have a child, a child of her own with Chen Yu.

Nothing else mattered, it was simply a woman's desire to become a mother.

Yet, Hiromi Jounouchi couldn't force Chen Yu to conceive a child with her, after all, she was a reasonable person, and she knew that even if both of them longed for a child, it wasn't as easy as it was for most people.

Understanding these facts did not help to improve her mood, but instead deepened the gloom in her heart.

"What's wrong, wife? You've been down all day," Chen Yu, seeing Hiromi Jounouchi unhappy since the morning, asked with concern.

Since it was the weekend, both of them were at home resting. The benefit of being a professor was being able to enjoy days off on the weekends instead of having to work like other doctors.

Faced with Chen Yu's concern, Hiromi Jounouchi shook her head. She didn't want to tell him the reason for her troubles, nor could she explain it to him.

She couldn't just say that she was depressed because she couldn't have children, could she? Hiromi Jounouchi felt that she couldn't bring herself to say it.

Seeing this, Chen Yu still looked at her with concern and attempted to console her, "Is there something that's making you unhappy? Share it with me, and perhaps you'll feel better after talking about it?"

However, Hiromi Jounouchi, very frustrated, shook her head at Chen Yu and said impatiently, "Stop asking, it's none of your business! Just leave me alone for a while."

With that, Hiromi Jounouchi walked into the bedroom and lay down on the bed, looking utterly dejected.

Seeing his wife in such low spirits, Chen Yu found himself at a loss, unsure of what to do.

But after some thought, Chen Yu decided he needed to cheer up his wife.

He took out his phone to call Kyuuzai Ryousen and, after arranging a few things, Chen Yu then walked into the room and said to Hiromi Jounouchi, who was lying on the bed, "Wife, you seem a bit under the weather. How about we go out for dinner tonight? I've made a reservation at a restaurant, the French cuisine place you mentioned you wanted to try."

"I... I don't feel like going today, why don't you go by yourself?" Hiromi Jounouchi, initially perked up at the mention of French cuisine, lost her enthusiasm again due to her depressed mood, finding herself unable to get excited about anything.

Chen Yu, seeing this, came over to her and gently touched her forehead, asking tenderly, "What's the matter? Weren't you really looking forward to that restaurant? I specifically asked Ryosen-kun to reserve a spot for us, and it would be a waste if we don't go. Plus, I had him buy us two tickets for a play; how about we watch the play after dinner? It will be a good distraction for you."

Softened by the tender care, Hiromi Jounouchi, although still listless, felt slightly better. Unable to resist Chen Yu's gentle persuasion, she eventually decided to go out with him.

After getting dressed in a more formal attire, Hiromi Jounouchi left the house with Chen Yu.

"Oh, what play did you book for tonight, husband?" Though not very excited, Hiromi Jounouchi thought she should take an interest, seeing how Chen Yu had gone out of his way to lift her spirits.

"Mishima Yukio's 'Rokumeikan', I haven't seen it myself either," Chen Yu checked the message from Kyuuzai Ryousen on his phone before responding.
