21st Century Necromancer

Chapter 71 Associate Professor

Your journey continues on empire

After spending an enchanting evening with his girlfriend, Yu Chen, Hiromi Jounouchi, and Professor Niaoi finally returned to Tokyo.

After dropping Hiromi Jounouchi off at her home, Yu Chen went back to his own. However, he did give her the tea set that Maeda Toshitoku had given him, using the excuse that he had a cat at home and it wasn't suitable to keep such items around.

Thinking of his own cat, Yu Chen then realized that he had left Audis at home without care for the several days he was in Kanazawa.

Hardly had he arrived home when Yu Chen opened the door, just about to change shoes to enter, a black shadow smashed straight into Yu Chen's face, "Bastard! How dare you leave His Lordship at home for a whole week, enjoying yourself while I nearly starved to death!"

Filled with grievance, Audis's voice expressed anger anyone would feel after being left alone at home for a week. It complained while attempting to scratch Yu Chen's face with its paws.

Unfortunately for it, it was promptly caught by Yu Chen. Held in the air by his two hands, Audis could only vainly stretch its four paws, utterly unable to reach Yu Chen.

"You're an Undead creature, right? How could you possibly starve to death? And didn't I leave enough cat food at home? Even if there was no cat food, couldn't you have just gone out the window yourself?" Looking at the full of resentment Audis, Yu Chen helplessly coaxed it, "It's my fault this time, I promise it won't happen again. Plus, look what I got you? Your favorite salmon!"

"Idiot! Didn't I tell you I don't like salmon! And stop trying to fob me off with discounted salmon from the convenience store!" Audis was clearly still furious, roaring loudly at Yu Chen, though its tail, which had been erect in anger, did droop down eventually.

"Alright, alright, got it. How about I go buy you red snapper tomorrow?" said Yu Chen in a placating manner, while he cradled Audis in his arms and rubbed its cat head, "No one has come to steal anything from the house in these past few days, right?"

For Doctor Higashiyama, who had been fortunate enough to participate in Chen Yu's earlier experiments and Inomata Naoki's surgery, it was as if he too had been touched by Chen Yu's brilliance. He could claim to have taken part in this research.

With the study now made public, it would undoubtedly attract a great deal of attention, which could brighten Doctor Higashiyama's career prospects enormously.

"Why do even you speak like that, Doctor Higashiyama?" said Chen Yu, shaking his head helplessly. Although he knew his research would make him a focus of attention once it went public, he hadn't expected the news to spread so fast. "By the way, how is Miss Hanayama doing? Has her sense of taste returned since the last surgery?"

Hearing Chen Yu mention Hanayama Mikie, Doctor Higashiyama's expression instantly turned grateful, "Miss Hanayama is recovering very well from the surgery. She is now able to eat normally, and her taste has returned to normal. She says she wants to properly thank you, Doctor Chen!"

"No need for thanks, just don't forget to send an invitation to your wedding," Chen Yu said with a smile, teasing Doctor Higashiyama.

"Hehe, of course, I won't forget that!" Doctor Higashiyama laughed a little shyly, clearly hinting at good news on the horizon.

Seeing Doctor Higashiyama's demeanor, the other people in the office were quick to guess what was going on with him, and suddenly, a crowd surrounded him, teasing him into treating everyone.

Watching the group tease Doctor Higashiyama, Chen Yu couldn't help laughing along.

While everyone was jesting with Doctor Higashiyama, Professor Kube and Professor Niaoi entered the room together, and suddenly, everyone stopped their horseplay and stood up to greet the two professors.

"No need to be nervous, I've just come to make an announcement," Professor Kube said, seemingly in a very good mood as he didn't mind the commotion in the office. Smiling at Chen Yu, he then raised his voice, "I believe you all know about Mr. Chen Yu's research being presented at the Kanazawa academic conference. This is a very joyous occasion, so here I have another piece of great news to announce.

After consideration by the hospital committee, it has been decided to appoint Mr. Chen Yu as an Associate Professor at the Eastern University Affiliated Hospital. Let's congratulate him."
