Under the arrangement of Chen Yu and Hiromi Jounouchi, Inomata Naoki’s proposal is being smoothly prepared, and the time is also approaching New Year.

Although there are quite a few things at hand, the New Year still must be celebrated, after all, Hiromi Jounouchi is Japanese, and the custom for Japanese people is to celebrate the New Year on January 1st of the Gregorian calendar.

Previously, Chen Yu and Hiromi Jounouchi had plans to buy a house, and before the New Year, they settled the matter by purchasing a new build in the Bunkyō Ward of Tokyo.

In Japan, when buying a house, they come with complete renovations, and after Chen Yu and Hiromi Jounouchi reviewed the design and decoration style of the house and found it satisfactory, they decided to buy it.

Because they had a sufficient budget, Chen Yu and Hiromi Jounouchi bought a two-story house covering more than 100 square meters.

However, they did not buy a villa, not because they couldn’t afford it, but because they felt such a big house was unnecessary.

Although Chen Yu considered that his parents would come to stay and Little Yixi’s future needs when she grows up, the house they bought now is sufficient in terms of room numbers and usable area, so they went ahead and purchased it.

The construction company, wanting to curry favor with the new Nobel Prize winner, and because they offered furniture as part of the service, delivered the house to Chen Yu and Hiromi Jounouchi fully furnished and ready to move in.

Because of this, they moved in directly and spent the New Year in their new home.

“Honey, put this in the fridge, we’ll be eating this during the New Year!” Hiromi Jounouchi placed the already prepared food into food containers for Chen Yu to put in the fridge and then started preparing the dinner meal.

Seeing Hiromi Jounouchi busy, Chen Yu couldn’t help but smile and sigh, “It’s hard to imagine that the future Reincarnated God is personally cooking during the New Year; if others knew about it, wouldn’t they be surprised?”

“What’s the big deal? Just because I become a deity, I can’t cook anymore?” Hiromi Jounouchi retorted to Chen Yu, not feeling there was anything wrong: “Besides, didn’t we agree that before Little Yixi becomes an adult, our family will live a normal life.”

Hearing Hiromi Jounouchi’s words, Chen Yu couldn’t help but laugh: “That’s why I’m sighing! If the Deification Ritual goes smoothly, our family could become unique Supreme Deities, but still lead an ordinary life.”

“Isn’t ordinary life good? Or do you prefer to be those cold, unfeeling deities worshiped in a Shrine?” Hiromi Jounouchi clearly disapproved.

In her view, even becoming a deity doesn’t prevent her from choosing to live an ordinary life.

Chen Yu, of course, did not want to become like the Bodhisattvas in a temple, so he didn’t oppose living a normal life.

After putting the prepared food into the fridge and finishing the dinner meal, they sat on the sofa, playing with their daughter while watching TV shows.

Although various television stations were airing exciting programs during the New Year, Chen Yu and Hiromi Jounouchi were not focusing on them.

“Honey, how’s the preparation for the Deification Ritual going?” Hiromi Jounouchi asked Chen Yu with concern, as she wasn’t clear about the preparations since Chen Yu didn’t let her go to Yomotsu Hirasaka.

“The altar’s foundation has been laid, the Constitution is leading the Mage Corps in conducting the Magic Engraving, and it should be completed by the end of the month.” Chen Yu explained while playing with his daughter on his lap, “The Death Refusal Knight and the Eternal Guardians Legion have already completed their encampment and built defensive positions at the ritual site. Four Mechanical Mage Corps out of nine have also been dispatched, so there’s no worry about the preparation progress.”

“That’s good.” Hiromi Jounouchi nodded slightly and said to Chen Yu with concern, “If there’s anything you need my help with, promise you’ll let me know!”

“Don’t worry, if there’s something for you to do, I won’t hesitate to ask. But for now, you should help Naoki with his proposal; although it seems unrelated, it’s equally important.” Chen Yu smiled at Hiromi Jounouchi.

Understanding Chen Yu’s emphasis, Hiromi Jounouchi nodded knowingly, “Don’t worry, I know the importance of this matter, nothing will go wrong. But honey, if I can’t make it in time on your end, will there be any issues? Isn’t the invasion of Yomi’s forces hard to resist?”

“It’s alright, the main force resisting Yomi’s army isn’t me, it’s the Inari God. With his strength, it might not completely stop Yomi’s army, but he can hold them off until you arrive.” Chen Yu picked up his daughter, speaking amidst Little Yixi’s giggles: “Besides, even if anything unexpected happens, isn’t Hood there? And didn’t you ask Xiao Lan to help too?”

“Well… then honey, keep yourself safe.” Although still worried, Hiromi Jounouchi didn’t oppose Chen Yu’s words but took Little Yixi from his arms, reminding him to be careful.

Responding to Hiromi Jounouchi’s concern, Chen Yu just hugged her and their daughter, seriously saying, “I have you, Hiromi, who loves me so much as my wife, and Yixi as my adorable daughter, how could I bear to let anything happen to me?”

Hiromi Jounouchi said nothing more, just held her daughter and leaned against Chen Yu.

Little Yixi, not understanding what had happened, eagerly crawled out of Hiromi Jounouchi’s lap and climbed onto Chen Yu.

Seeing their daughter’s adorable manner, the slight melancholy between Chen Yu and Hiromi Jounouchi quickly vanished, and they played with their daughter, laughing together.

Having such a cute daughter, even if not for themselves, just for Little Yixi, they would strive to do their best in ensuring nothing unexpected happens.

“Alright, let’s not talk about such unhappy things during the festive season; let’s enjoy the New Year cheerfully! The New Year will certainly go smoothly.” Hiromi Jounouchi smiled at Chen Yu while lifting Little Yixi, her face no longer showing the earlier worries.

She had made up her mind; since she couldn’t feel at ease about Chen Yu, she’d face things together with him. No matter what kind of enemies they might encounter, Hiromi Jounouchi believed that as long as they stood together, there was nothing to fear.
