21st Century Necromancer

Deities or Divine Enthronement, these matters were too premature for Chen Yu at the moment, as he was too busy with moving to even bother with the ritual site that Tsuchimikado Yoshiharu and Kyuuzai Ryousen had prepared.

In contemporary Japanese society, moving houses has become a very convenient affair. If you're willing to spend the money to hire a moving company, they'll ensure that everything is taken care of without you having to lift a finger.

The workers from the moving company don't just help with moving items; they begin by laying protective boards at the door and in narrow spaces to prevent scratches and bumps to the furniture and walls. They also thoroughly clean all items to ensure no dust is brought into the new home.

For fragile items like pots and pans, and hard-to-transport items like clothing and hats, there are special boxes; even your books and CDs will be arranged in the order you prefer before being transported, ensuring they arrive at your new home just as they were.

Although large furniture items must be disassembled, the movers will take care of the reassembly, as well as cleaning the old room so you don't have to worry at all. They'll even check your mattress for mites and conduct mite removal to ensure cleanliness and hygiene.

Yet, this still isn't the full extent of the Japanese moving company's services. Besides moving items out of the old home, they are just as meticulous when moving into the new one.

Beyond laying protective boards like in the old house, they'll hoist large items through the windows to save time and avoid collisions during transport. To prevent any dust from entering your new home, the movers will even change into new socks before entering to keep it clean.

Regardless of how effective these measures are, merely doing them is enough to make people feel the services are considerate and professional.

Not to mention arranging furniture and decorations to your taste, installing large household appliances, and cleaning the environment. If you're worried about perverts installing cameras, the moving company will also perform a meticulous inspection to eliminate all potential hazards.

You could almost say that by hiring a moving company, all you need to do is tell them where to move from and to, then simply stand by with your hands in your pockets, watching them work, and move in the same day.

Of course, such detailed services are priced significantly, making people tear up. For single individuals like Chen Yu and Hiromi Jounouchi, moving costs around 30 to 50,000 Japanese Yen due to not having many belongings; for a family of three with more items, the price would be around 80 to 100,000 yen.

In terms of service, such prices are quite reasonable, as they save you from a lot of moving-related troubles and handle everything well.

Thus, Chen Yu didn't hesitate to choose a moving company. Of course, he had already packed and dealt with his necromancy research materials and the Magic Circle for collecting negative energy at home, entrusting them to Tsuchimikado Yoshiharu for temporary storage elsewhere.

Originally, Hiromi Jounouchi was reluctant to hire a moving company, planning to rent a small truck and find some help for moving. But Chen Yu contacted a moving company directly and convinced his girlfriend with the reason, "I've already hired a moving company, so there's no need to save that little bit on moving expenses."

Therefore, once the moving company had moved everything from both individuals into the new home, arranged neatly and cleaned, Chen Yu was already embracing Hiromi Jounouchi as they started their cohabitation in the new place.

"Um... Mr. Chen Yu, what do you want to eat tonight?" Hiromi Jounouchi frowned as she looked into the empty refrigerator.

The fridge was new; she previously used a very small one as she lived alone, and Chen Yu's was similar in size, which wasn't a problem for one person, but now that two people would be living together, it seemed a bit small.

Since they were moving, Hiromi Jounouchi couldn't possibly bring a fridge full of food with her, so the food that was previously there was already consumed and cleared out before the move. Consequently, the new fridge was still empty, with nothing in it.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Hearing Hiromi Jounouchi say this, Chen Yu didn't find it troublesome. After all, ordering takeout or going out to eat was very convenient. The new place was not like the more secluded previous location where Chen Yu lived with not many dining options around; this area had plenty of places to eat.

However, from what Hiromi Jounouchi implied, she didn't seem to want to dine out or order takeout. So after thinking for a while, Chen Yu asked, "What do you plan on doing, Hiromi? Shall we go buy some groceries? I saw a supermarket nearby when we came here before."

"There's a supermarket? Then let's go there and buy some ingredients! Not to mention, we need to buy staples like rice anyway." Hiromi Jounouchi felt as if the suggestion hit the spot and, closing the fridge door, came up to Chen Yu and wrapped her arms around his neck, "By the way, what do you feel like eating, Mr. Chen Yu? Sukiyaki, braised pork, or... something else?"

Feeling the weight on one side of his body even as he sat on the sofa due to his girlfriend embracing his neck, Chen Yu couldn't help but smile and said, "Whatever you decide is fine, Hiromi. I'll eat anything you make."

"Really? You'll eat anything?" Hiromi Jounouchi began to smirk mischievously as if contemplating a prank. Still, she released Chen Yu and leaned onto his lap, "Then let's keep dinner simple tonight. How about cabbage pork rolls and meat sauce spaghetti? We really don't have many ingredients today, and shopping, then cooking complicated dishes would get late. So sorry~!"

Chen Yu naturally had no objections to his girlfriend's words and gave her derriere a playful pat, "Then aren't you going to change?"

Blushing at the cheeky pat from her boyfriend, Hiromi Jounouchi jumped out of his embrace, snorted at Chen Yu with her nose wrinkled, and then scurried off to change clothes.

As Hiromi Jounouchi pulled out a coat from the wardrobe, ready to put it on, she caught sight of a black hardcover book on the table. Her curiosity piqued, she was about to take a closer look, but then Chen Yu called out from outside, and reluctantly she put her curiosity aside, grabbed her clothes, and went out.
