21st Century Necromancer

Looking at the three raised hands, Chen Yu helplessly pinched the bridge of his nose, while Hiromi Jounouchi also felt a wave of headache coming on.

Among the raised hands, one belonged to Yuiko Tsuina, one to Zhu Yiting, and the last one was from somebody Chen Yu did not want to see at all because it was the hand of the Matchmaking God.

Chen was expecting Zhu Yiting to raise her hand as it was related to a promise between them, so that did not surprise him. As for Yuiko Tsuina, Chen knew she was Hiromi Jounouchi's ex-girlfriend, so he did not find it problematic that she spoke out in objection. The only surprise for him was the Matchmaking God.

Hadn't she been commanded by the Inari God to bless him? Why would she suddenly speak out in objection?

Watching Suzuhime pulling on the Matchmaking God beside her, Chen Yu's brows furrowed, but he still signaled the stunned emcee with his eyes to continue with the procedure.

"I didn't expect anyone to actually object!" the emcee said with a forced light laugh, never having dealt with such a situation before. With no choice but to go on, he stiffly continued, "Well, then, could the three who object please step up to the stage and let us hear your reasons for opposing this marriage."

Following the emcee's words, Yuiko Tsuina, Zhu Yiting, and the Matchmaking God all stood up and went to the stage.

Looking at Zhu Yiting standing before him, beaming with smiles, Chen Yu took the lead in speaking, "As expected, Zhu Ting, you still remember this!"

"Wasn't it you who told me back then that if no one shouted an objection when the emcee at a wedding asked, it would be too boring? You asked me to shout for you when you got married to avoid a dull ceremony, right? And when I got married, you did shout out an objection too," Zhu Yiting took the microphone from the emcee and spoke.

Chen Yu's face turned somewhat sheepish hearing Zhu Yiting's words. Indeed, he had discussed such a thing with Zhu during a casual chat in the past, and he had indeed shouted an objection at Zhu's wedding. Therefore, Chen could not really say anything about Zhu's objection now and had to take it as a joke between friends.

Thanks to Zhu Yiting's explanation, the atmosphere at the venue immediately lightened.

The emcee breathed an internal sigh of relief, and when he saw Zhu passing the microphone to Yuiko Tsuina beside her, he hurriedly took over the conversation and continued, "So it was just a joke between friends; you scared me there! It seems our groom hasn't incurred any romantic debts in the past! Well, let's hear from this bridesmaid now. What is your reason for opposing the marriage?"

"I can't just hand Hiromi over to you!" Yuiko Tsuina said, looking straight at Chen Yu with a resolute expression, finally voicing what she had wanted to say.

At these words, Hiromi Jounouchi's mother down below felt disaster brewing; she was well aware of the past between Yuiko Tsuina and Hiromi Jounouchi and was quite worried that Yuiko might be trying to disrupt Hiromi's wedding.

Obviously, at such a moment, it was not appropriate for anyone to step up and interrupt Yuiko Tsuina. It was now up to Chen Yu and Hiromi Jounouchi to deal with the situation.

"And why can't I just take Hiromi off your hands?" Holding Hiromi Jounouchi's hand, Chen Yu looked at the determined Yuiko Tsuina and couldn't help but feel a bit amused.

"You haven't proven that you have enough capability to protect Hiromi, to bring her happiness," Yuiko Tsuina had obviously pondered this for a long time, as she threw out her answer as soon as Chen Yu asked: "Hiromi is a gentle and kind person, since she has chosen to marry you, you should protect her! Bring her happiness! You must prove this to me, and then I can rest assured to entrust Hiromi to you!"

Yuiko Tsuina's words made Chen Yu start to smile, he tilted his head and asked her, "Then how do you want me to prove..."

"He doesn't need to prove anything to anyone!" But before Chen Yu could finish speaking, Hiromi Jounouchi interrupted him, standing out and speaking up loudly, "As the man I've chosen, my husband, he doesn't need to prove anything to anyone, because all he needs to do is prove to me that he can make me happy, which Mr. Chen Yu has already done! Therefore, he doesn't need to prove anything further to anyone!"

Hiromi Jounouchi's intention wasn't to express discontent towards Yuiko Tsuina; she simply wanted to stop Chen Yu, not wishing for Yuiko to bear resentment from Chen Yu over this matter.

Chen Yu is the Necromancer, after all, and Yuiko Tsuina is still using the medicine he provided to suppress her cancer. If Chen Yu bore any ill will towards Yuiko, he could potentially harm her, and Hiromi Jounouchi certainly wouldn't allow her ex-girlfriend to be bullied or harmed by Chen Yu.

However, after Hiromi Jounouchi spoke these words, the guests present were taken aback, and it's not clear who led the way, but someone started to applaud.

Influenced by the first clapper, the entire venue erupted into a warm round of applause, sending cheers and blessings to Hiromi Jounouchi.

Yet, faced with such a scenario, Yuiko Tsuina still wanted to struggle a bit and asked Hiromi Jounouchi, "But Hiromi, how can you guarantee that this man will remain devoted to you forever? What if he changes his heart? What if he falls for another woman? What if..."

"There are no 'what ifs'!" Chen Yu stood out, stood next to Hiromi Jounouchi, held her hand, looked into her eyes, and said, "Hiromi is my decision, my life partner, my soulmate, not even death could part us, let alone anything else."

"Not letting me leave your side even in death, you really are a possessive man!" Hiromi Jounouchi laughed as well, clearly understanding the implication behind Chen Yu's statement that not even death would separate them.

Watching the tacit understanding between Chen Yu and Hiromi Jounouchi, Yuiko Tsuina's face showed disappointment, but as things had reached this stage, persisting further would only be seen as unreasonable. With a heavy heart, she handed the microphone to the eagerly waiting Matchmaking God and then made her way towards the audience.

"Yuiko!" However, as she was walking down the stage, Hiromi Jounouchi called out to her, "Thank you."

Hearing Hiromi Jounouchi's thanks, Yuiko Tsuina's expression paused for a moment and finally revealed a relieved smile.

Meanwhile, Chen Yu turned towards the Matchmaking God who was now holding the microphone with an unhappy face, and asked her seriously, "So why do you oppose, Your Excellency? I remember the person who invited you asked for your blessing, didn't they?"

"It's precisely because I am here to celebrate you that I oppose! Because if it's to congratulate you, I should be the one hosting this wedding, since I am the Matchmaking God in charge of forming bonds and protecting marriages!" The girl who looked like a Matchmaking God stood with one hand on her hip and the other pounding her chest, and so she declared.
