21st Century Necromancer-Chapter 641 - 637: About the Child (Please Subscribe, Request Monthly Tickets)

To tell if a dish was made with care by the chef, even an ordinary person can discern that.

However, dining in a hospital canteen and hoping to receive a meal prepared with such attention... even though this is a hospital canteen, it's quite difficult.

Fortunately, the hospital canteen's menu received support from Doctor Higashiyama's newlywed wife last year. It underwent an upgrade, replacing the standard fare with a medical menu designed to bring a sense of happiness to the patients, so overall, the quality of the food is acceptable.

"Hmm, it seems the creator of this dish wished for the diner to feel joy and happiness, right? It tastes very healthy!" Lord Miketsu elegantly picked up a small piece of food with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. Although his face was expressionless, after swallowing the food, he still offered appreciative feedback.

Chen Yu was naturally eating a packed lunch prepared by Hiromi Jounouchi. Hearing Lord Miketsu's comments, he couldn't help but smile and say, "Miss Hanayama would probably be overjoyed to know her cooking was considered attentively made by a deity."

"Miss Hanayama?" Lord Miketsu looked curiously at Chen Yu. He was indeed intrigued by these dishes. Although the creator's skill was average, he could taste that the person who designed these dishes did so with gratitude and the hope of bringing happiness to others. Thus, he became a bit curious about the creator.

"She's the wife of a doctor here, a professional culinary researcher. She was hospitalized due to an illness, and it was I who healed her. Out of gratitude to the hospital, she specially developed a set of healthy recipes for us, which is what Lord Miketsu is tasting now," explained Chen Yu. He then casually turned to Hiromi Jounouchi and asked, "Speaking of which, Higashiyama is truly blessed to have such a wife who can cook so well. How have they been doing lately?"

"Hehe, Doctor Higashiyama is really busy these days! Miss Hanayama is pregnant, and he rushes home every day after work to take care of his wife," replied Hiromi Jounouchi with a laugh, thinking of Doctor Higashiyama's hurried appearance each day at the end of his shift.

Yet, Chen Yu couldn't hide his surprise, looking at Hiromi Jounouchi with astonishment, "Miss Hanayama is pregnant? Higashiyama is truly fortunate!"

While Chen Yu was praising Higashiyama, he didn't notice the flicker in Hiromi Jounouchi's eyes.

It was Lord Miketsu, who glanced at Hiromi Jounouchi then back at Chen Yu before speaking to Hiromi Jounouchi, "Miss Jounouchi, your lineage isn't the same as that of humans, is it? If you and Mr. Chen Yu wanted a child..."

Even deities choose their words according to the circumstance, and Lord Miketsu did not finish his statement.

However, Chen Yu understood the implication in Lord Miketsu's words and waved his hand nonchalantly, saying, "We've just gotten married, it's too early to be considering this. Besides, for Hiromi and me, life is very long. We have plenty of time to wait until we both have grown to a certain extent before we think about having a child."

"You hope to... I see, that would indeed lift any restrictions, and the child born would be beyond measure," Lord Miketsu realized. Although Chen Yu was not explicit, due to the presence of others, Lord Miketsu understood that Chen Yu meant they would wait until both he and Hiromi Jounouchi had become deities before considering having a child.

Deities can indeed bear children with other deities. As long as the deities wish, regardless of their original races, they can come together and conceive children.

The offspring of such unions possess the divinity of both parents, naturally becoming demigods, or even new deities if both parents are sufficiently powerful.

But the stronger the deity's powers, the more difficult it becomes to have children naturally. Unless a deity uses divine power to promote offspring, natural conception can be a very time-consuming affair, even taking several decades or a hundred years.

However, for deities, this wasn't an unacceptable matter.

Skipping over this topic, Yu Chen shifted the conversation to Inomata Naoki and Minami: "Speaking of which, is Lord Miketsu keeping an eye on Naoki and Minami's Red String of Fate? How is their connection faring?"

"According to Xiao Yuan, the Red String of Fate between them is showing signs of fading, though it's not very noticeable." Lord Miketsu became serious when discussing this matter, "Your previous approach did have some effect, but it wasn't significant. Maybe the issue isn't on the girl's side, but rather on the boy's."

Hearing Lord Miketsu say this, Yu Chen stroked his chin and said, "If that's the case, we really need to consider starting with Naoki to solve the problem. However, he is just an ordinary person and can be quite stubborn. If possible, I wouldn't want to involve him in any extraordinary events."

"Ordinary matters have ordinary ways of dealing with them, right?" Lord Miketsu smiled faintly.

Yu Chen had a realization, thought for a moment, and then smiled slightly, "That's true, perhaps it's time to introduce him to someone."

When it was time to leave work, both Yu Chen and Hiromi Jounouchi tidied up their desks and left the office together, ready to head home.

Even though Hiromi Jounouchi had often needed to work overtime in the past, now that she had become a professor, she no longer had to stay late like before and could leave work on time with Yu Chen.

Walking on the way home, Hiromi Jounouchi suddenly asked Yu Chen, "Honey, when will we be able to have children?"

Although Yu Chen had said they could have children once they both became deities, Hiromi Jounouchi didn't want to wait that long.

"Why bring this up all of sudden? We're no longer ordinary humans now. Divine Creatures and those with Legendary Dragon Bloodline have a difficult time reproducing naturally, and it's more troublesome than waiting until we both become deities to have children." Even though he could sense Hiromi Jounouchi's emotions, Yu Chen also had no solution, as the stronger the bloodline power, the harder it is to produce offspring, and this was an ironclad rule that couldn't be changed throughout the Multiverse.

"But... when we went back, mom said that we should try to have a child soon." Hiromi Jounouchi was referring to Yu Chen's mother, who had talked to her for several hours about this during their wedding banquet back in their home country, urging her to have a child with Yu Chen soon.

However, now, if they were unable to have children anytime soon, it would undoubtedly be a regrettable matter.

"Hiromi, is our marriage just for the sake of having children, and not because we want to be together for a long time?" Yu Chen hugged his wife's shoulders, trying to console her.

However, Hiromi Jounouchi's expression turned very dim, and she shook her head, "I know, but I really do want a child!"

Hearing his wife say this, Yu Chen was at a loss for words and could only hold her tighter.
