After Chen Yu revised Jounouchi Hiromi’s paper, he also added the formula for the potion that counters hemolytic reactions, which he was familiar with.

Of course, Chen Yu did not directly publish the formula; instead, he described the experimental results of the potion in the same manner he had previously written about the formulation of broad-spectrum anti-cancer drugs. As for the experiments, they were naturally completed in the Mage Tower within the Necromantic Space.

Beyond the magical artifacts he manufactured himself, Chen Yu’s Mage Tower in the Necromantic Space now also housed various scientific instruments sourced by Kyuuzai Ryousen through the Mingyue Society’s connections. In terms of research conditions, it was no worse than the laboratory he had at the hospital; conducting a small experiment on hemolytic reactions was naturally a cinch.

After several comparative experiments, Chen Yu naturally had enough data to incorporate into Jounouchi Hiromi’s paper.

Originally, Jounouchi Hiromi’s paper only had a theoretical foundation, but after Chen Yu added experimental data, it gained enough support to transform from a hypothesis into a new research direction.

Having organized Jounouchi Hiromi’s paper, Chen Yu naturally wanted to give it to her. Picking up the neatly arranged document, he left the office.

However, upon arriving at the aseptic laboratory, what he saw was Jounouchi Hiromi, immersed in intense preparation with a television production team and murmuring something from a piece of paper.

"Hiromi, what are you guys doing?" Chen Yu walked up to Jounouchi Hiromi and asked her.

"It’s the TV program that Mrs. Egawa mentioned before. There’s a live broadcast today that needs to interview me, so I’m here practicing the questions I’ll need to answer later," Jounouchi Hiromi explained to Chen Yu and curiously asked, "Mr. Chen Yu, what brings you here?"

Chen Yu handed his manuscript of the paper to Jounouchi Hiromi and smiled at her, "Your paper. I’ve made some revisions and added some experimental data. Without data support, your paper could only be considered a concept and not be published as a research finding."

"Ah, I forgot! Thank you, Mr. Chen Yu!" Jounouchi Hiromi, realizing Chen Yu had supplemented her work, hurriedly thanked him.

"Thank what? You are my fiancée, isn’t it my duty to help you with these things?" Chen Yu smiled, then added, "However, there’s an issue with the formula for the anti-hemolytic reaction potion. I suggest you refine it before practical application."

"I understand, I’ll take care of the formula later," Jounouchi Hiromi nodded, ready to discuss something else with Chen Yu, but a staff member from the TV station had already come to prepare her for the broadcast.

Seeing this, Jounouchi Hiromi had no choice but to cease her conversation and join the staff member in the preparations for the live broadcast.

Within the headquarters of the Mingyue Society, Maeda Toshiie, who was stationed there, had a room designated for himself, which he decked out as a quiet room and tea room due to personal habit. Without his permission, even the three leaders of the Mingyue Society could not enter, as a sign of respect for the Legendary Warrior.

However, today Kyuuzai Ryousen found himself in this room exclusive to Maeda Toshiie because he needed to discuss strategies for dealing with the Tashiro Family.

"The Tashiro Family? The descendants of Doctor Sanki Tashiro? Come to think of it, I once met the man himself," Maeda Toshiie said with a hint of emotion as he prepared tea, recalling the time he—then still alive—had once sought the famous physician of the Warring States Period to treat his wife, but now everything had changed.

His virtuous wife had long since passed away, and he himself had turned into something neither alive nor dead. The prospect of having to confront the descendants of Doctor Sanki Tashiro weighed even heavier on him.

"Shadow Guard, this is the task given by our lord. What do you think we should do about the Tashiro Family?" Kyuuzai Ryousen asked respectfully while kneeling beside Maeda Toshiie.

Although Kyuuzai was in charge of leading the Mingyue Society and fully responsible for this matter, in order to ask for the assistance of this Legendary Warrior who had survived from the Warring States Period, he needed to show adequate respect, in addition to following Chen Yu’s orders.

"What are our lord’s orders? To execute only the ringleader or to annihilate the entire family?" Maeda Toshiie set aside his emotions and asked in a flat tone, as if the decision was as mundane as what to have for dinner.

"Doctor Jounouchi has been assigned to manage this matter by our lord. Considering her nature, she probably won’t resort to exterminating the entire family," Kyuuzai Ryousen commented, knowing Jounouchi Hiromi to be a kind-hearted person; his tone suggested that he was telling Maeda Toshiie that extermination of the Tashiro Family wasn’t necessary.

"This matter is overseen by the mistress? I understand. So, just taking out that so-called Sub-Legendary is sufficient, right?" Maeda Toshiie caught the implication in Kyuuzai Ryousen’s explanation, a glimmer of comprehension flashing in his eyes. Having sworn allegiance to Chen Yu as his lord, Jounouchi Hiromi naturally became his lady. While he believed that eradicating the roots would be more appropriate, as a samurai, he would not go against the lord’s wishes.

Maeda Toshiie continued to prepare tea calmly, yet his shadow separated from him, forming a samurai clad in black armor and wielding a lance standing at his side.

"You handle this matter with my double," Maeda Toshiie said as he concentrated on the tea bowl before him, only giving Kyuuzai Ryousen a brief instruction.

As a Shadow Guard and a Legendary-rank warrior, there was no obvious difference between his double and his true self. Should he wish, any of his doubles could act as the true self, and the true self could just as easily be a double. Therefore, it made no difference whether it was the original or a double that was dispatched.

Kyuuzai Ryousen naturally understood this and merely nodded in acknowledgement.

Maeda Toshiie said nothing more, simply presenting the brewed tea to Kyuuzai Ryousen, indicating for him to drink.

Taking up the tea bowl and rotating it thrice, Kyuuzai Ryousen took a sip before setting down the bowl and mentioning another matter, "Earlier, Shadow Guard, you had me look into the Maeda Family’s situation and asked me to deliver an item to them. After they received the item, they expressed a desire to meet you. Do you wish to see them, Shadow Guard?"

"It seems they haven’t completely forgotten their duties," Maeda Toshiie remarked with a sigh, but then shook his head and said, "Let’s wait until after this matter is settled. Whether I see them or not makes no difference."
