21st Century Necromancer-Chapter 475 - 471: Self-Protection (Seeking Subscriptions, Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Having accepted Member of Parliament Kanai’s request, Chen Yu naturally considered how to properly resolve the matter.
In fact, it wasn’t a very difficult issue to solve. Although it was a world with transcendent beings, the chance of ordinary people encountering supernatural events was extremely low. For most people, the possibility of facing a supernatural event in their lifetime was zero. Even if they did encounter one, it would be like the urban ghost stories, while events similar to the ancient yokai tales or myths were even rarer.
Therefore, to properly resolve this matter and at the same time enable Nanami to defend herself should she encounter such situations in the future, theoretically, just creating an amulet with a certain level of protective ability would suffice.
Of course, for Chen Yu, Nanami was, after all, his patient, and he obviously couldn’t just brush it off.
After giving it serious thought, he ended up making a call to Kyuuzai Ryousen.
————————————————
Nanami felt extremely anxious knowing that her father was aware of her ghostly encounter during her nighttime outing. After all, for a young girl, it was rather embarrassing to feel like getting caught by parents for doing something wrong.
But even more so, Nanami felt a shy awkwardness because her father had sought Chen Yu’s help for this matter.
Because of a young girl’s thoughts, Nanami did not wish for Chen Yu to find out about such an incident, especially as she and her two friends were currently waiting for his arrival in a private room at a coffee shop, intensifying her reluctance. Instinctively, she didn’t want her friends to see Chen Yu.
The feeling was as if she suddenly had a beautiful cloth doll she cherished so much that she was unwilling for others to see it, fearing it might be taken away.
Yet, Nanami was also aware that Chen Yu wasn’t her cloth doll; he already had a girlfriend.
But even with this knowledge, the girl, whose feelings of affection were just beginning, still deeply admired the handsome, gentle, kind doctor who also had extraordinary medical skills that had cured her.
As Nanami was lost in her thoughts, Chen Yu finally pushed the door open and walked in. However, with him was a long-haired woman who looked rather "cool" and carried a sword in a Sword Bag.
"Doctor Brother!" Seeing Chen Yu come in, Nanami instantly tossed all her petty thoughts aside and happily greeted him.
"Long time no see, Nanami," Chen Yu also greeted her with a smile. Although he did not wish for Nanami to harbor certain inappropriate thoughts, he still liked the lovely young girl.
While greeting Nanami, Chen Yu also noticed the other two girls sitting with her, one with short hair and the other with braided pigtails. Their distinct characteristics, a tomboyish demeanor and shyness, left a lasting impression.
Chen Yu smiled at them and introduced himself, "Hello, my name is Chen Yu, and I’m a doctor."
"Doctor Brother was my primary physician before. I can stand up thanks to him curing me!" Nanami quickly added, introducing her two friends to Chen Yu, "These are my friends, Megumi Nakamoto and Junko Kamikawa. Doctor Brother, who is she? Where is Sister Jounouchi?"
"Hiromi had work to do today, so she couldn’t come. As for her..." Chen Yu answered Nanami’s question while also looking at Kojo Kyoko, explaining to the three girls with a smile, "She is a very formidable sister whom I specifically requested to help you guys."
"Help us?" Junko Kamikawa, upon hearing Chen Yu say this, looked at her companions with some confusion but also quickly asked, "Is it because of that ghost incident we had before? But we’re okay now! Could it be that the ghost is still going to follow us?"
Although Junko Kamikawa was the most timid among the three, she was also the smartest, which is why Nanami had chosen her as the vice president of the club.
So upon hearing Chen Yu’s words, she immediately realized what this was about.
Chen Yu nodded, confirming Junko Kamikawa’s guess, "It is indeed because of your previous encounter with the ghost. However, it’s not because the ghost will follow you, but rather Nanami’s father is worried about this Urban Ghost Stories Research Club you’re running. If you continue to investigate urban ghost stories and encounter ghosts again, you might not be as lucky as you were this time."

"But even so, what can this sister do to help us? Even if she’s very powerful and can deal with ghosts, she can’t always stay by our side, can she?" Megumi Nakamoto, the athletic one in their trio and the former captain of the Kendo Club before joining the Urban Ghost Stories Research Club, doubted swordsmanship’s ability to fend off ghosts.
"That’s why she isn’t here to protect you or to follow you," Chen Yu explained as he and Kojo Kyoko sat down, continuing to clarify to the three young girls, "What you lack are means to defend yourselves, so I’ve asked Kyoko... oh, I forgot to introduce her, this sister’s name is Kojo Kyoko, she is an impressive Sword Master. In ancient times, she could even slay ghouls! I’ve asked her to teach you ways to defend yourselves."
"Ways to defend ourselves?" Nanami and her two friends were taken aback and asked in unison.
"Yes, means of self-defense," Chen Yu confirmed with a nod, then turned his gaze to Kojo Kyoko.
Feeling Chen Yu’s gaze, Kojo Kyoko respectfully bowed slightly to him before addressing the three young girls, "Although I do not approve of your behavior in seeking out the mysterious and exploring the unknown, since Professor Chen Yu has asked, I will teach you some basic swordsmanship so that when you face ghosts and monsters, you will have the power to protect yourselves."
"But I’ve also practiced kendo. Can that really combat ghosts?" As the group’s sports representative, Megumi Nakamoto had been the mainstay of the Kendo Club before joining the Urban Ghost Stories Research Club, and she was deeply skeptical about kendo being effective against ghosts and monsters.
In response to such skepticism, Kojo Kyoko simply looked at her and explained, "Ordinary kendo cannot, but if you have a weapon that can harm ghosts and monsters, even just knowing the basics of kendo is enough to defend yourself against ordinary demonic creatures."
Upon hearing Kojo Kyoko’s explanation, and out of trust for Chen Yu, Nanami was the first to respectfully bow to Kojo Kyoko, "Then please, I’m in your care!"
