21st Century Necromancer

"You've noticed?" Jounouchi Hiromi found herself a bit embarrassed after Chen Yu pierced through her thoughts; yet at the same time, she was somewhat flustered and quickly explained to Chen Yu, "I know it's difficult for us to have children, but I just... I don't mean to pressure you, I just thought..."

"It's alright, it's alright," Chen Yu comforted Jounouchi Hiromi, smiling gently at her, "I understand, wanting children is very normal."

"But isn't this being unreasonable? I know it's very hard for us to have children, and you've already planned when we should have them, yet I still want a child now..." Jounouchi Hiromi suddenly felt a mix of grievance, sadness, and guilt.

As a woman, it was natural for her to want children after getting married, but as a wife, especially a Japanese wife, she felt she shouldn't trouble Chen Yu.

Under the influence of these two starkly different emotions, one could well imagine the state of Jounouchi Hiromi's heart at that moment.

However, Chen Yu was still comforting her, after all, they were still in the theater, and it would be quite embarrassing if Jounouchi Hiromi started crying.

"How could this be considered being unreasonable? It's only a reasonable request." Chen Yu gently embraced his wife, patting her shoulder as he comforted her, "Even though wanting a child is indeed troublesome, it's not like there are no solutions. Hiromi, your desire for a child is not an excessive demand."

The consolation from Chen Yu made Jounouchi Hiromi feel even more remorseful, "But it's very difficult for us to have children! Even if you agree, my husband, it might take a long time before it's possible for us to have a child, right?"

"As for that, there are always more solutions than difficulties, as long as one is willing to think, there's always a way to solve the problem. And we're doctors, how can this kind of problem trouble us?" Chen Yu's voice was soft and equally tender, "I'm more worried about how to raise the child once they're born. Wife, don't forget that our child won't be an ordinary child!"

When it came to regarding children, Jounouchi Hiromi could certainly understand Chen Yu's concerns, but she had thought it through as well, "I will certainly teach our child well! I won't let them become a bad kid!"

"I believe you will teach our child well, but the problem is that even the most obedient child will have their mischievous moments!" Chen Yu gave a wry smile but still said to Jounouchi Hiromi, "However, since you, Hiromi, really want a child, then let's have a child."

"Really!?" Jounouchi Hiromi couldn't help but exclaim, but she quickly covered her mouth, lowering her voice. Fortunately, the performance on stage was nearing its end, so it didn't cause much of a disruption, yet she still looked incredulously at Chen Yu, seeking confirmation, "Husband, do you really want to have a child?"

"Could there be any doubt? However, I must clarify something, we can only have an ordinary child for now. Whether it's your lineage or my power, even if inherited by the child, I will seal them until they can control it all, and only then will I let them possess these abilities." Since his wife so desired a child, Chen Yu, having considered it, chose to accept, "As for how to conceive, I'll find a way. But once we have a child, we must live the life of truly ordinary people, okay?"

"Even if we live an ordinary person's life, we are not ordinary people, are we?" Jounouchi Hiromi laughed upon hearing Chen Yu's comment.

Seeing her laugh, Chen Yu laughed along as well, "I have no intention of raising our child to think they're something extraordinary. We are just two ordinary doctors, aren't we?"

"Alright, a professor from Eastern University Affiliated Hospital, that's a regular surgeon for you," Jounouchi Hiromi's mood finally improved, and she joked with Chen Yu.

Although Chen Yu had agreed to Jounouchi Hiromi's request for a child, how to actually have one became a question.

If they relied solely on biological reproduction, it might take over a decade for results, so if Jounouchi Hiromi hoped to have a child sooner, certain necessary measures seemed inevitable.

However, Chen Yu was a Necromancer. So was Jounouchi Hiromi. Creating powerful undead creatures was something neither of them would flinch from, but conceiving a child... seeking a Necromancer for this task was like asking a blind man for directions.

This kind of expertise would ordinarily lay with Druids. Unfortunately, even though Multiverse Universal Necromancy Spell Compendium had entries about Druids, it didn't record their spells, and getting a Legendary Dragon pregnant wasn't something an ordinary Druid could manage; surely, only a Legendary-rank Great Druid would have that ability.

But where in this world could one find a Legendary-rank Great Druid? Even if one started training now, it wasn't something that could be resolved overnight.

Thus, after flipping through the Multiverse Universal Necromancy Spell Compendium, the only option Chen Yu could think of was to seek the help of the deities.

However, when faced with Chen Yu's request, Lord Miketsu appeared rather troubled, "Mr. Chen Yu, you say you and your wife want a child, so you hope I can assist you?"

"Yes, seeing Hiromi unhappy every day, I thought it would be better to fulfill her wish," Chen Yu nodded, slightly emotive, he shook his head, "Even though I feel that neither of us is prepared to welcome a new life, seeing how much she wishes for a child, I can't bring myself to stop her. But Lord Miketsu, the way you've asked, is there something troubling you?"

"It's not exactly trouble, but such matters are not within my divine purview; I've never tried to do so," Lord Miketsu shook his head. He was not a deity who protected childbirth; asking for a child was a misdirected request, "It would be manageable if it were mortals, but according to the classification of the Japanese Deity system, both of you fall under the category of deities. To enable you to procreate is no easy task."

Perhaps feeling that he was too dismissive, Lord Miketsu quickly added, "But it's not without solutions. Allow me to think on it and I'll give you an answer later."

"That would trouble you greatly, Lord Miketsu," Seeing Lord Miketsu respond thus, Chen Yu didn't want to press further and politely thanked him. Then he considered whether to ponder other methods.
