21st Century Necromancer

For Chen Yu, the arrival of Kohinata Kaori was not just a simple matter of a junior sister returning.

Her appearance also provided Chen Yu with an opportunity to facilitate the progression of matters between Inomata Naoki and Minami, inviting Inomata Naoki back to Tokyo for a reunion was the embodiment of this opportunity.

However, this was still just an idea, and undertaking such a move came with great risks. Chen Yu had not yet planned it out, so he only mentioned to Inomata Naoki the matter of returning to Tokyo for a meet-up, without setting a specific date.

When Chen Yu had finally planned out the matter, he would set an exact time for Inomata Naoki to come to Tokyo.

Still, this matter indeed involved too many aspects; without thorough preparation, Chen Yu did not intend to take any action.

Yet, even though Chen Yu did not plan any action, his phone call to Inomata Naoki still set many people's nerves on edge.

"Mr. Chen Yu, may I ask why you invited Inomata Naoki to Tokyo? Wouldn't this increase the chance of him meeting Minami, causing the situation to shift towards a scenario none of us would like to see?" Kusanagi Ritsuko burst into Chen Yu's office and questioned him bluntly.

However, the imposing Kusanagi Ritsuko was merely glanced at by Chen Yu and was instantly suppressed, unable to even move a finger, with only fear flickering and slight trembling left in her eyes.

"Who gave you the courage to question me in my office? What makes you think you have the right to demand an explanation from me?" Chen Yu spoke softly, yet what emanated was the imposing presence of a demigod.

Even as a demigod, his divine aspect was not something that mere mortals could challenge or question.

Yet at that moment, another voice suddenly rang out, accompanied by a figure appearing in Chen Yu's office: "How about me, then? Should I have the right to demand an explanation from you?"

Chen Yu looked up to see Lord Miketsu appearing in his office, indicating that this deity was also very concerned about the matter to the extent that she appeared directly in his office, rather than approaching through normal means.

"You certainly have the right to demand an explanation from me." Facing Lord Miketsu, Chen Yu naturally wouldn't conceal his thoughts, as the plan itself involved Lord Miketsu and required her collaboration.

Chen Yu explained his thoughts to Lord Miketsu, but no sound came out. Kusanagi Ritsuko tried to read his lips to decipher what he was saying but found that Chen Yu spoke in a language entirely unfamiliar to her, making it impossible for her to understand his words.

However, Lord Miketsu clearly understood what Chen Yu said. At first, she frowned, attempting to interrupt Chen Yu's explanation, but by the end, her frown had relaxed, and her eyes revealed a surprised expression.

"It's an incredibly unorthodox proposition, but the possibility of success is high." Lord Miketsu nodded slightly, clearly very satisfied with what Chen Yu had said: "This matter requires careful planning. If you need assistance, you can contact me."

Chen Yu then switched back to a language Kusanagi Ritsuko could understand and said politely, "This matter cannot proceed without Lord Miketsu's cooperation. However, as you said, it requires careful planning. I will inform you when the plan is drafted."

After Chen Yu finished speaking, he then turned to Kusanagi Ritsuko, releasing her from Shin'i's binding.

"I hope you understand, although I chose to live as an ordinary person, this does not mean that mortals can provoke deities. Even if I haven't undergone Divine Enthronement and am merely a demigod." As Chen Yu spoke, Lord Miketsu also nodded in agreement.

Deities can be approachable, but that certainly does not mean that mortals are allowed to desecrate them.

"I am truly very sorry!" Kusanagi Ritsuko knelt on the ground, her forehead touching the floor, apologizing to Chen Yu with utmost respect.

However, Chen Yu simply waved his hand slightly and said, "Don't always kneel so readily, groveling like that is the most useless. I just want you to remember that the dignity of deities is not to be provoked. Besides that, the Prime Minister has already entrusted me with full authority to handle this matter, so whatever I do, you just need to follow the instructions. As for the rest, I don't think a group of mortals is qualified to know the plans of the deities."

"Yes, I understand!" Kusanagi Ritsuko could only bow her head as low as possible in agreement at that moment.

"All right, pass on what I said to the people behind you! Don't try any funny business." With that, Chen Yu waved his hand, indicating Kusanagi Ritsuko to leave his office.

After seeing Kusanagi Ritsuko leave, Lord Miketsu nodded at Chen Yu and said, "Then let's proceed with the matter as we discussed earlier."

After she spoke, Lord Miketsu disappeared from Chen Yu's office just as silently and undetectably as when she had arrived.

While Chen Yu was perfecting his grand plans, his disciple Misumi Mikoto was also busy with her own affairs.

Ever since she was reprimanded by Chen Yu, Misumi Mikoto's enthusiasm for studying necromancy had become much more restrained, and she obviously became more moderate in her actions.

At least she no longer stayed up late into the night and came to work the next morning looking like a fairy.

However, this did not mean that Misumi Mikoto's interest in studying necromancy had diminished. On the contrary, what she reduced was only the time spent, not a decrease in interest. Despite the reduction in learning time, her enthusiasm for necromancy had actually increased.

Thanks to Chen Yu's previous tips, Misumi Mikoto had concentrated her energy on Potionology research during this period. She not only gained a deep understanding of Potionology but also, with the help of Kyuuzai Ryousen, had attempted to concoct some simple potions.

Through these attempts, Misumi Mikoto finally realized how unrealistic and naive her previous idea of formulating an Energy Potion to relieve herself of energy deficiencies was.

While medication can supplement energy and allow one to spend more time studying, which in itself is not a problem, and Energy Potions can indeed achieve this, the potions also have side effects besides their effective outcomes.

Issues such as the retention of harmful substances due to insufficiently pure extraction during the formulation process, the body developing a resistance to potions due to long-term use, and the spiritual and physical dependency that comes with chronic medication... all these were problems that Misumi Mikoto had not considered before.

Through her studies in Potionology over this period, she came to understand these issues and abandoned her original impractical ideas.

Although potions without side effects do exist, those are not something a novice in Potionology could master.

Nevertheless, Misumi Mikoto still planned to create her own Necromantic Space, following Chen Yu's guidance; after all, shouldn't every mage have their own Mage Tower?
