21st Century Necromancer

After work, Jounouchi Hiromi busied herself in the kitchen; today, she was rarely cooking dinner.

While Chen Yu waited expectantly for his wife's cooking skills, he took out his phone and made a call to Inomata Naoki.

Since his junior sister had returned from the United Kingdom, it was only right for Chen Yu to let his second senior brother know.

"Naoki, good evening, what are you up to?" Once the call connected, Chen Yu greeted Inomata Naoki in his usual friendly manner.

Inomata Naoki was also surprised at receiving a call from Chen Yu but happily responded, "Brother Yu, what brought you to call me today? Got something you need me to do for you again?"

"Can't I find you if there's nothing up?" Chen Yu laughed, but promptly explained, "Kaori is back from the United Kingdom, and I wanted to give you a heads-up. She's working as a surgeon under my supervision now, but she really misses you, her second senior brother!"

"Kaori's back?! I had no idea she'd returned from the United Kingdom! It looks like our trio can gather again. When is she free? Let's meet up, go to that barbecue restaurant near the school we used to frequent. I'll come to Tokyo to see you guys," Inomata Naoki said, full of surprise and joy at Kohinata Kaori's return.

Perhaps influenced by Inomata Naoki's mood, Chen Yu also seemed very happy as he smiled and said, "Well, that's great, I'll check with Kaori about the time, and once we've got it settled, I'll notify you. It's been a long time since the three of us had a get-together."

Inomata Naoki's memories were stirred by Chen Yu's words, and he couldn't help but get nostalgic: "Isn't that the truth! Back then, we'd often hang out at that barbecue place by the school gate. Thinking about it, we were so happy! Even though we weren't as well off as we are now, it was so good to be together."

"What are you talking about? You make it sound like we can't be happy together now," Chen Yu couldn't help but tease, dissatisfied with Inomata Naoki's wistful tone, "Now that Kaori's back in Tokyo, you're the only one left in Kumamoto. If you were willing to come back to Tokyo, wouldn't it be just like the old days?"

However, Inomata Naoki wasn't too keen on Chen Yu's suggestion: "Brother Yu, you know the situation with my family. If I go back to Tokyo, what would become of our farm? I figure for the rest of my life, I'll probably just marry a local girl and spend my days raising horses and cattle on the farm."

"Raising horses and cattle? You really have some ideas! But if that's the life you truly wish for yourself, that's your choice," Chen Yu didn't press Inomata Naoki, respecting his friend's decision, "But no matter what, make sure to visit Tokyo often. At least come to see your old classmates, right?"

"Of course! Brother Yu, feel free to bring your wife over to visit too! Kumamoto might not have much else, but I can definitely take you horseback riding and treat you to horse sashimi. Our horses are the best quality for eating in all of Kumamoto! This year, I'm even planning to raise some black-haired wagyu, so by the time you visit, we'll have A5 wagyu beef for you to enjoy." Perhaps after experiencing life and death, Inomata Naoki had truly come to love the pastoral lifestyle; he was thoroughly immersed in his ranch life.

Chen Yu was equally enthusiastic about Inomata Naoki's offer: "Black-haired wagyu? Then I'll definitely have to go to your place and eat an entire cow!"

"Sure thing! I'll take good care of the cows, waiting for you to come," Inomata Naoki made the promise and chatted with Chen Yu a bit more before they hung up the phone.

"Dinner's ready, hubby!" After Chen Yu hung up the phone, Jounouchi Hiromi called him to eat, and dinner was already served on the table.

Even though Chen Yu had the Ghost Maid do housework and cook before, after getting married, Jounouchi Hiromi still felt that she should fulfill her responsibilities as a wife and occasionally took the initiative to cook dinner.

The dishes weren't extravagant or complicated, just simple home-cooked fare.

But for Chen Yu, a dinner made by his own wife was the most delicious thing in the world.

Sitting at the dining table, Jounouchi Hiromi asked curiously, "Who were you on the phone with just now, hubby? You sounded so happy."

"I was talking to Naoki, told him about Kaori's return, and he suggested we arrange a get-together," Chen Yu explained while sharing Inomata Naoki's words with Jounouchi Hiromi, "I've told you about Naoki's family ranch in Kumamoto. He said he's going to raise black-haired Wagyu and invited us to eat A5 Wagyu beef next time we visit. I told him to prepare an entire one; otherwise, it won't be enough for us."

"An entire black-haired Wagyu cow? That's really something!" Jounouchi Hiromi's eyes lit up as well; as a food enthusiast, the thought of an entire black-haired Wagyu cow waiting for her was enough to make her mouth water.

"Not just Wagyu, Naoki's family also has edible horses, and Kumamoto's horse meat sashimi is quite famous," Chen Yu said, seemingly tempted to try the horse meat sashimi himself.

"Then let's go to Kumamoto on our next holiday! An entire black-haired Wagyu cow!" Jounouchi Hiromi was clearly entranced by the idea of enjoying an entire black-haired Wagyu cow, "Hubby, how much meat does an entire cow have? Should we grill it or boil it when the time comes?"

"A cow has at least several hundred pounds of meat; you can have it any way you like," Chen Yu replied with a laugh. Although the idea of feasting on an entire black-haired Wagyu cow was tempting to him too, he did not show the same fervor.

Upon hearing Chen Yu say this, Jounouchi Hiromi nodded in agreement, "That's true. Then, let's eat to our heart's content when we go!"

For Jounouchi Hiromi, perhaps the greatest perk of becoming a Transcendent was the ability to eat anything without gaining weight.

After all, for Legendary Creatures, the amount of food they consume daily is trivial compared to their bodies. To change a Legendary Warrior's body, one would probably need to eat non-stop, and it would have to be only the finest essence.

Skipping over this topic, Jounouchi Hiromi suddenly remembered something about Inomata Naoki and Minami and asked Chen Yu, "Hubby, did you mention Minami to Inomata-kun?"

"No, Naoki hasn't realized it yet, and bringing it up might make him aware," Chen Yu shook his head slightly, clearly not keen on addressing the matter directly, "Naoki currently wants to find a local wife in Kumamoto and spend his life on the ranch. If I tell him about Minami, it might disrupt his plans, so for now, it's better to help him find a girlfriend first."
