21st Century Necromancer-Chapter 791 - 787 Impact

Jounouchi Hiromi’s pregnancy, thanks to the big mouths of Nakagawa Susumu and the Glasses Doctor, soon became known throughout the entire hospital.

Fortunately, this was not something that needed to be hidden. Jounouchi Hiromi had planned to announce it at the right time, it’s just that now the news had obviously come out much earlier.

As the hospital’s current star and celebrity doctor, Jounouchi Hiromi and Chen Yu’s every move actually drew attention and was under scrutiny. In some sense, Jounouchi Hiromi’s pregnancy was a very eye-catching event.

As the doctor who developed artificial womb technology, would Jounouchi Hiromi apply this technology to her own child?

When a nurse greedy for a bounty revealed her pregnancy to the media, the topic quickly became the focus of discussion on the internet and in the media.

Previously, when the experimental artificial womb was exposed, Jounouchi Hiromi had publicly stated that this technology would not be used to replace normal pregnancy, but merely for medical clinical treatment. Now that she was pregnant herself, everyone was speculating whether she would use this technology.

There were many words discrediting and criticizing Jounouchi Hiromi, but there were also many supporters, essentially dividing into two viewpoints.

One viewpoint argued that as a researcher and pioneer of the artificial womb experiment, Jounouchi Hiromi would inevitably apply this technology to her own child, thereby proving the maturity and reliability of the technology, while also reducing the burden and pain of pregnancy for her as a mother.

However, opponents and supporters believed that since Jounouchi Hiromi had stated that the technology would not be applied to normal pregnancies, she would still choose to carry her baby in her womb.

Both points of view made sense, but also had their weaknesses. Because of this, the online and media debates over whether Jounouchi Hiromi’s unborn child would be placed in an artificial womb not only boiled over but reached a fever pitch.

The media seized this hot news topic, and all major television stations produced special programs to discuss it, with various experts and scholars making their appearances, creating quite a stir.

As a result, to avoid repeating the previous incident of the protesting crowd storming the hospital, this time the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department simply set up a police line at the hospital entrance and arranged checkpoints, inspecting everyone entering the hospital to prevent anyone from bringing dangerous items inside.

Having been through this kind of setup once before, the hospital had experience. They not only had security assist the police in stepping up security measures but also directly hired a security company to upgrade the hospital’s own security.

Of course, Chen Yu would not tell anyone that this security company was controlled by the Mingyue Society behind the scenes and that the security personnel were all transcendents trained by various dojos, with the idea and cost suggested and funded by him in consultation with Director Shimura.

Although it would likely take a whole army with tanks and heavy artillery to possibly harm Jounouchi Hiromi, now that she was pregnant and had used Human Transformation Magic to seal her Dragon Bloodline, Chen Yu still hoped to rule out any and all accidents that could startle or injure her.

Even to ensure his wife’s safety, Chen Yu went as far as suggesting that Jounouchi Hiromi return to the Necromantic Space to ensure the safety of her pregnancy and use a puppet as her proxy in the outside world.

However, after considering it, Jounouchi Hiromi still refused Chen Yu’s suggestion.

"Honey, do you really need to be this nervous? I’m just pregnant, it’s not like someone’s trying to kill me or anything, we don’t need to hide in the Necromantic Space so cautiously, right?" Jounouchi Hiromi knew Chen Yu was just being concerned for her safety, but she still felt there was no need to be so anxious, "And even though I’ve sealed my Dragon Bloodline and my physical condition has declined, I am still the Legendary-rank Crimson Empress, and I can summon Xiao Lan anytime. It’s not as dangerous as you think."

At this time, Chen Yu, however, was not receptive to any of Jounouchi Hiromi’s suggestions. He made a non-negotiable decision on this matter, "That’s not acceptable either. What if someone bumps into you or scares you? This is our first child; we can’t be too careful."

"But what if I get moody from being cooped up in the Necromantic Space? You know that a mother’s bad mood can affect the baby, right?" Jounouchi Hiromi continued to argue her point. While it’s true that pregnant women need to ensure the safety of their pregnancy, she didn’t want to be restricted by Chen Yu from now on and be stuck in the Necromantic Space all day, which would make her ill from boredom.

Seeing that Jounouchi Hiromi was unyielding, Chen Yu finally compromised after failing to persuade her, but he also demanded that she always keep Xiao Lan with her and have a Ship-girl accompany her.

Although having a Ship-girl with her all the time was awkward, Jounouchi Hiromi still accepted Chen Yu’s condition. Every day, in addition to commuting with Chen Yu, she would also be escorted by a Ship-girl.

In Jounouchi Hiromi’s view, this was probably the most extravagant travel arrangement imaginable, with at least two demigods personally protecting her every day – even deities might not enjoy such treatment.

However, although having someone follow her around every day was inconvenient, this was after all Chen Yu’s way of showing his care, so Jounouchi Hiromi chose to adapt to having someone accompany her at all times.

"Madam, the tea is ready. Would you like some pastries as well?" In Jounouchi Hiromi’s office, Belfast, dressed in a traditional black and white English maid’s uniform, had set up a complete English afternoon tea set on a coffee table and made a pot of black tea. After taking out the prepared pastries, she bowed and asked Jounouchi Hiromi. frёeωebɳovel.com

Jounouchi Hiromi, seeing the tea and snacks that Belfast had prepared, smiled helplessly. The other party had already prepared everything, and she could hardly say no, especially since Belfast would directly dispose of any uneaten pastries rather than taking them back.

Moreover, Jounouchi Hiromi was well aware that Belfast had timed it to allow her to rest, so she said nothing more, put down her pen, and gestured for Belfast to bring over the tea and pastries.

"Beifa, your skills are amazing! How did you make these little shortcakes? Teach me later. I want to make them for Mr. Chen Yu." Jounouchi Hiromi popped a pastry into her mouth, sipping her tea while praising Belfast.

"Certainly, Madam. I will write down the recipe later. If you wish to learn, I can also demonstrate for you in the kitchen in Minato Ward tonight," Belfast replied, bowing to Jounouchi Hiromi with perfect etiquette that left no room for criticism.
