At the top floor of Chen Yu’s Mage Tower, the Obsidian Altar he had used initially had already been moved here.

This altar was originally designed and crafted for the construction of the Necromantic Space.

After Chen Yu’s use, it was rendered useless and thus had been left to lie idle.

The only reason it hadn’t been dismantled was that Chen Yu intended to leave it for Jounouchi Hiromi, so when she was ready to build her own Necromantic Space, she wouldn’t need to make another one.

But now, Jounouchi Hiromi had become his wife, and as husband and wife were one, Jounouchi Hiromi no longer had the need to construct another Necromantic Space, so the altar remained unused.

It was only now, with Misumi Mikoto as Chen Yu’s disciple preparing to construct her own Necromantic Space, that the altar Chen Yu had spent a great deal of effort creating, once again became useful.

However, when Chen Yu constructed his Necromantic Space, he had space-related materials supplied by Tsuchimikado Yoshiharu, which allowed him to find such large Space Fragments to make his Necromantic Space comparable to a fully developed Semi-plane.

Without such resources, it would not be easy for Misumi Mikoto to construct a sufficiently large Necromantic Space.

Misumi Mikoto was naturally aware of this, but she didn’t choose to give up just because it was difficult.

It was only that the Necromantic Space she was about to construct would initially be smaller.

She would have to continuously collect Space Fragments and piece them together to expand her Necromantic Space, a result Misumi Mikoto found acceptable.

“Are you ready?” Chen Yu looked at Misumi Mikoto, who stood before him already draped in her Dragon Wing Cape, holding her Book of Inheritance, apparently prepared, but he asked her once more.

After taking a deep breath, Misumi Mikoto nodded and said to her mentor, “Mentor, I am ready.”

“Then let’s start.

Don’t overexert yourself, and take it easy,” after giving his disciple a word of caution, Chen Yu nodded, signaling her to step onto the altar.

When Chen Yu had conducted the ritual, he had enlisted Kyuuzai Ryousen as an assistant to prevent any mishaps due to lack of strength.

Misumi Mikoto, of course, wanted to play it safe for herself, though her backup was more lavish than Chen Yu’s—it came in the form of a Ship-girl.

The Ship-girl assisting Misumi Mikoto was not one of the seven Demigod Ship-girls summoned by Chen Yu, nor a member of the 6th Destroyer Squadron or the Shinano.

Instead, Misumi Mikoto, after encountering the various Ship-girls during her studies in Chen Yu’s Necromantic Space, became eager to learn the Summoning Method and summoned a Ship-girl herself.

Of course, Chen Yu provided his disciple with both the location and the salvaged ships as summoning materials.

The two Ship-girls summoned by Misumi Mikoto were the Chitose-class Light Aircraft Carriers, the Chitose and the Chiyoda, from the Former Imperial Japanese Navy Combined Fleet, the last two carriers sunk by US military surface ships in the Japanese Navy.

As they were Light Aircraft Carriers, and considering they had served as Seaplane Carriers in the early stages of the war before being converted into Light Aircraft Carriers during the mid-war period, the Power of Faith they had garnered wasn’t very strong.

Even with the improved Summoning Method devised by Chen Yu, they possessed only Legendary-rank strength, comparable to that of the Shinano.

Regarding this, Misumi Mikoto did not show any disdain, after all, having two Legendary figures was far superior to when Chen Yu had enlisted the Formal Rank Kyuuzai Ryousen as an assistant, a vast improvement indeed.

Moreover, perhaps because Japanese aircraft carrier ship-girls often appear as shrine maidens and Onmyoji in various ship-girl games, with their planes as Demon-Breaking Arrows or Shikigami, the Chitose sisters also possess such traits, being two shrine maidens capable of summoning Shikigami and casting spells.

This undeniably allowed them to better cooperate with Misumi Mikoto, as the seven Demigod ship-girls summoned by Chen Yu actually lacked casting abilities, their demi-god power manifested more in terms of destructive force.

The ship-girls with casting abilities naturally piqued Chen Yu’s interest.

After serious research, he realized that the unique casting abilities of these two ship-girls and their ability to summon fighter planes as Shikigami was due to the influence of the Power of Faith during the summoning process, which resulted in such images and abilities.

This inspired Chen Yu to prepare to summon two more ship-girls with spell-casting abilities.

However, before that, Chen Yu felt it would be better to let Misumi Mikoto first complete the initial construction of the Necromantic Space.

On the Ritual Altar, Misumi Mikoto skillfully initiated the ritual, and the Chitose sisters provided her with Mana support.

With the massive Mana reserves of Legendary-rank ship-girls, Misumi Mikoto could carry on longer and search for Space Fragments more easily.

With the support of two Legendary-rank ship-girls, the ritual proceeded smoothly, piece by piece of Space Fragments found and dragged back by Misumi Mikoto, were imprisoned within a Crystal Ball on the Ritual Altar.

That was a container provided by Chen Yu for his disciple, as Misumi Mikoto had made great efforts but failed to find a suitable storage container, Chen Yu had to lend her a Crystal Ball made of Magic Crystal.

Observing Misumi Mikoto carefully, Chen Yu noted she was different from himself.

Initially, Chen Yu had the support of spatial materials, which allowed him a better perception of Space Fragments; he could select larger pieces selectively, eventually finding the one that now houses his Necromantic Space.

But Misumi Mikoto did not enjoy such luxuries.

She could only painstakingly search for every fragment she could find, not willing to discard even the smallest, shrunken spaces, storing them all in the Crystal Ball, seemingly planning to patch together her own Necromantic Space in a gradual accumulation.

This method was the orthodox choice for a Necromancer; not everyone could have Chen Yu’s luck to find a space fragment comparable to a Semi-plane.

Jounouchi Hiromi stood beside Chen Yu, watching the Chitose sisters on the Ritual Altar, and couldn’t help but say to Chen Yu, “Husband, the ship-girls you’ve developed seem very interesting.

How about you teach me so I can summon a few?”

“That is certainly no problem.

However, I currently have no Ghost Ships on hand.

If you want to summon ship-girls, you’ll need to prepare sufficient Spiritual Nature.

Otherwise, the summoned ship-girls may end up being children.” This was Chen Yu’s experienced advice.

The reason why the members of the 6th Destroyer Squadron all appear as elementary school students, apart from being influenced by the Power of Faith’s mixed images, was because Chen Yu did not use Ghost Ships when summoning them, causing their strength and maturity to be undeveloped.

“I know, it’s only Spiritual Nature; it’s not hard to come by.” Jounouchi Hiromi did not seem concerned about this, after all, Misumi Mikoto did not use a Ghost Ship as a sacrifice when summoning the Chitose sisters either.
