21st Century Necromancer-Chapter 502 - 498: Meeting (Please Subscribe, Asking for Monthly Tickets)

Having promised to summon his boss's deceased daughter's soul, Chen Yu naturally would not go back on his word.

However, upon learning from his boss that his daughter had passed away over a decade ago, Chen Yu knew that summoning her soul would be no simple task.

"Normally, conducting the summoning at the Mage Tower with the aid of the Spirit Gathering Tower would have been ideal and most effective, but..." as Chen Yu drew the Magic Circle on the ground, he explained to Misumi Mikoto, whom he had called over, "my Mage Tower and Spirit Gathering Tower aren't in this world. Transferring them here would be too much trouble, and it's impossible to summon a soul from this world in the Necromantic Space, so we must use a more complex method.

But that's all right. This more complicated method of soul summoning is something I haven't taught you yet, so it's the perfect opportunity for a live lesson."

Misumi Mikoto, who recorded every Magic rune of the Magic Circle Chen Yu was drawing with a camcorder, carefully photographed each rune. While recording, she curiously asked Chen Yu about something she didn't understand: "Teacher, this rune here represents 'resonance,' doesn't it? Why add this set of runes here?"

"The inner circle of this Magic Circle is a Spirit Communication Magic Circle for summoning souls, which you've already learned. The outer circle's runes, representing 'resonance,' are meant to respond to the inner circle's summoning runes by connecting them with the two runes for amplification and searching. Only by doing so can it form a complete whole," Chen Yu explained as he detailed the purpose of the runes and then suddenly asked Mikoto, "How has Rokuro been lately? He should be progressing quite smoothly with Qingdai, right?"

"I suppose so. He's completely in love; I was actually planning to invite him over today," Mikoto shook her head, feeling frustrated yet powerless over Rokuro's love-struck behavior.

Hearing this, Chen Yu also sighed helplessly, "That kid is just like that, lacking the perseverance to follow through with things. He once said he wanted to learn to draw manga, to rebel against Professor Kube and become a manga artist. I was ready to temporarily shelter him when he ran away from home, and then he obediently returned home to prepare for medical school... Sigh..."

"But Rokuro has his merits, right? At least he's a very honest and hardworking kid. At UDI, he never minded the dirty or tiring work and was very conscientious. If only he could be a bit more diligent; he seems to lack motivation!" Mikoto felt that Rokuro did have good points, but his lackadaisical, Heisei period layabout attitude was an undeniable fact that made it difficult for Mikoto to sing his praises.

"Him, ah! I hope this is just another of his fleeting passions; otherwise, if he truly falls for that woman, I'm going to have a tough time." After finishing the last rune and connecting the entire Magic Circle, Chen Yu knocked on his lower back and stood up from the ground.

"Teacher, who exactly is that woman that you're so wary of? If you don't want Mr. Kube to be with her, why not just tell him directly?" Mikoto didn't understand why Chen Yu was so troubled.

In response to Mikoto's question, Chen Yu replied with a bitter smile, "That woman is very scheming, but it's not easy for me to say whether she is a good person or a bad one. Moreover, Rokuro really likes her, and if she could sincerely reciprocate his feelings, I'd think they are not unsuitable for each other. But that woman... even I can't fully grasp what she's really thinking, which is why I find this situation difficult."

After hearing Chen Yu's explanation, Mikoto nodded in agreement, "Indeed, given Rokuro's personality, having a somewhat scheming woman might actually be a good thing for him."

As Chen Yu and Mikoto were discussing Rokuro's affairs, Kyuuzai Ryousen arrived with the boss to the room prepared for the ritual, "Master, Mr. Yamada has arrived."

"Boss, I apologize for having you come so late, but it's better to hold the Soul Summoning Ritual at night," Chen Yu greeted the boss who followed behind Kyuuzai Ryousen.

Seeming to sense the boss's nervousness, Chen Yu reassured him, "Don't worry, the ritual will go smoothly. As long as your daughter's soul is still in this world, I can help you see her again."

Nevertheless, the boss, still visibly nervous, shook his head and stammered, "No, it's just... I just don't know how to face her."

Chen Yu had already informed the boss that he would notify her, the one with his wife's soul and daughter's body, to come and see their daughter's soul.

"Sorry for the delay; we got held up in traffic," Jounouchi Hiromi came in through the door, and following her was the person the boss couldn't face.

Though she appeared composed, the slight trembling of her fingers holding her handbag betrayed her inner turmoil.

After bowing to Chen Yu, she spoke up, "I'm very sorry to trouble everyone here over an incident from over a decade ago. But... can I really see Minami again?"

"Please rest assured, if her soul still exists in this world, you can indeed see her again," Chen Yu nodded and gave Hiromi and Mikoto a look, "There's still a bit of time before the ritual begins; you two could have a chat first. I believe it's been a long time since you've had a proper conversation, right?"

After speaking, Chen Yu stepped out with Hiromi and Mikoto, leaving the room to the boss and the daughter with his wife's soul.

"Heisuke..." Facing the boss who stood before her, she finally called out that familiar name.

After moving his lips slightly, the boss also finally called out her name, one that had not been spoken in over a decade, "Naoko!"

Outside, Hiromi Jounouchi was talking with Mikoto, while Kyuuzai Ryousen, who had come out earlier, handed Chen Yu a stack of papers, "Master, here is the information regarding the Supreme Truth Society, a branch of the Orm Truth Sect. Most of its members are ordinary people, but the leader is a Transcendent with basic abilities, highly skilled at manipulating people.

However, the organization's senior members and main body have recently died under mysterious circumstances, and the police have begun to investigate. Master, should we hand this information over to the police?"

"Hmm, pass it to the police through a reliable channel," Chen Yu nodded while also pulling another set of data from the Necromantic Space, "hand this over as well."
