21st Century Necromancer

Suzuhime had accompanied him on his sightseeing in Kyoto for the entire day, and it wasn't until dusk that Chen Yu returned to the hotel he had booked.

Originally, Suzuhime planned to continue following Chen Yu, but he wasn't accustomed to having someone constantly at his side, so he refused her proposal to accompany him, asking her instead to come pick him up when it was time for the Divine Feast.

Back at the hotel, Chen Yu put down the things he had purchased, took off his clothes, and entered the bathroom, planning to enjoy a good soak in the bathwater he had drawn.

Chen Yu didn't return to the Necromancy Space, although passing through the Necromantic Space was as easy for him as breathing, yet he chose to bathe in the hotel bathroom that day.

After a quick rinse, Chen Yu lay down in the bathtub.

It must be said, although the hotel bathtub wasn't as large as the swimming pool-like bath in the Necromancy Space Castle, the modern whirlpool bathtub had its own advantages.

However, just as Chen Yu was about to close his eyes and rest, he suddenly sensed spatial fluctuations and faint footsteps coming from the room outside the bathroom.

Aware of the movements in the room, Chen Yu did not react; he kept his eyes closed lying in the bathtub and even curled his lips into a slight smirk.

The person outside the room, though careful to conceal their movements and make no noise, didn't seem too concerned about being noticed, even taking an interested look at the various local products Chen Yu had bought before finally taking off their clothes and throwing them onto the bed, then entering the bathroom as well.

Seeing Chen Yu, who was still lying in the bathtub without opening his eyes, the visitor pouted in dissatisfaction and complained, "When did you notice me? Aren't you afraid it could have been someone else coming in?"

"If it had been someone else, they couldn't even get through the door, and besides, didn't you take off your clothes outside?" Chen Yu said, and only then did he open his eyes, seeing that it was indeed Jounouchi Hiromi who had appeared before him, and he smiled and invited her to sit down in the bathtub.

"You knew I was coming in all along, Mr. Chen Yu? And I was being so careful not to make a sound!" Jounouchi Hiromi humphed with slight dissatisfaction, but she didn't really mind; her own perception was acute enough to detect if someone was outside the bathroom, let alone Chen Yu, who had now reached the status of Demigod.

"If I wish, I can hear the buzz of a mosquito a kilometer away, so what do you think, did I know you came in? The heartbeat of the Dragon-descent is much louder than that of ordinary people," Chen Yu explained to Jounouchi Hiromi, turned off the bathroom lights, but opened the curtains next to him, revealing the night view of Kyoto outside.

Although startled by Chen Yu's sudden move to open the curtains, Jounouchi Hiromi was captivated by the beautiful night view of Kyoto outside. The experience of soaking in the bathtub while gazing at a city's night skyline was a rare treat for her.

"The designer of this hotel really put a lot of thought into it, to think of allowing guests to enjoy the night view while taking a bath," admired Jounouchi Hiromi as she couldn't help but praise the ingenious idea of the designer, watching the resplendent night scene of the ancient city of Kyoto, illuminated by colorful lights.

What kind of hotel would think to let guests open a window while taking a bath to enjoy the outside view?

"Hiromi, how come you suddenly came over, didn't we agree that I would fetch you when the party starts?" Chen Yu asked Jounouchi Hiromi curiously. Although after breaking through to the Legendary-rank and gaining access to the Necromantic Space, Jounouchi Hiromi could locate his position and come to him at any time, Chen Yu was still curious about why Hiromi had come so suddenly.

"I was bored at home all by myself, the recent TV series aren't good, and you usually chat with me. Today, being alone felt a bit dull, and I didn't want to go out, so I just came directly to you." Jounouchi Hiromi shrugged nonchalantly, leaning into Chen Yu's embrace, and together they looked out at the night view. Then she suddenly had a whimsical thought and asked Chen Yu, "Mr. Chen Yu, your body has now become that of an Underworld Feather Angel; you should be able to fly, right?"

"Yeah, what about it? Didn't you see me flying with my wings when we sparred that day?" Chen Yu was a bit puzzled by Jounouchi Hiromi's sudden question.

"Since both you and I can fly, why don't we go out flying together later?" Jounouchi Hiromi's eyes sparkled as she looked at Chen Yu. After her strength had broken through to Legendary, the idea of riding a dragon and flying freely resurfaced in her mind. Although she could fly in the Necromantic Space, its area was limited, and how could that compare to a dragon flying unrestrainedly?

Hearing that Jounouchi Hiromi wanted to go flying, Chen Yu was taken aback before he laughed and nodded in agreement, "Sure, but we can't get caught by others."

Under the veil of night, using a spell to conceal herself, Jounouchi Hiromi flapped her wings and soared freely.

The real world was, of course, far more expansive than Chen Yu's Necromantic Space. She could fly however she wanted, without restricting her speed or the direction of her flight—something unattainable in the Necromantic Space. After all, for a dragon, a few kilometers is merely a matter of flapping its wings.

For Jounouchi Hiromi, who enjoyed going against convention and seeking adventure in her youth, flying freely was a long-cherished dream, and this, strictly speaking, was her first time flying unrestrained.

"Hahaha! This is so awesome! I've always wanted to fly like this!" Having had enough fun, Jounouchi Hiromi pulled in her wings, turned around, and smiled at Chen Yu, who followed her with a pair of grey wings, saying, "Mr. Chen Yu, did you know? I've always dreamt of flying in the sky when I grew up, and I even considered becoming a flight attendant. But I never imagined I could fulfill my dream this way! Thank you!"

"Don't mention it, Hiromi. You should know that even if I hadn't transformed myself into an Underworld Feather Angel, becoming Immortal is quite simple for a Necromancer. So if you were just a normal person, at most you would live a few decades with me before dying of old age, and I couldn't bear that. Turning you into a Dragon-descent Blood Knight was just a bit of selfishness on my part." Chen Yu looked at Jounouchi Hiromi, who seemed utterly joyous after her delightful flight, and couldn't help feeling that he had been too cautious; taking her out for a flight seemed not so consequential after all.

Looking up at the somewhat dense clouds above, the weather wasn't too good today. Although it wasn't raining, the stars weren't visible. Chen Yu thought for a moment and then asked Jounouchi Hiromi, "Hiromi, do you want to see the stars?"

Hearing Chen Yu's question, Jounouchi Hiromi also looked up at the clouds above, seemed stunned for a moment, and then quickly realized what he was suggesting, immediately nodding her head with excitement.
