21st Century Necromancer

Chapter 953: Chapter 946 Maldives

Chen Yu certainly wouldn’t suggest letting their daughter study in Maldives in the future—not because he looked down on Maldives, but compared to the completeness of education resources, a country like Maldives couldn’t possibly compete with a country like China or Japan.

This was a gap in overall national strength, not merely an issue of money or resources.

Perhaps Chen Yu could hire a highly skilled private tutor to teach Little Yixi, but the same point holds—private tutors can never fully replace the function of schools.

“We’ll move to Maldives. Once Little Yixi comes of school age, we’ll send her back to a boarding school here, and we can travel back and forth every weekend,” Chen Yu said indifferently. For him, accomplishing this was easy, and he had already planned everything.

When arranging Mingyue Society’s future tasks earlier, he had particularly emphasized this point.

Jounouchi Hiromi didn’t object when she heard Chen Yu’s words, though letting their daughter attend boarding school from a young age made Hiromi feel a bit sorry for her. Still, she thought this could cultivate their daughter’s sense of independence early on, which might not be a bad thing.

“Hmm, that works too. Then, which school are you planning to send Little Yixi to in the future? In Japan right now, Keio, Gakushuin, Ritsumeikan… all seem to offer full educational systems from elementary to university. Which one do you lean towards, dear?” Jounouchi Hiromi agreed to Chen Yu’s arrangements but immediately became curious about which school their daughter would attend.

“There’s no rush. Little Yixi isn’t even a month old yet! When the time comes, we’ll ask for her own opinion,” Chen Yu replied without much particular preference. To him, it didn’t matter which school she chose: “Besides, if Little Yixi wants, I’d like to send her to the United Kingdom for high school. After all, British aristocratic schools are world-renowned. But it’s a pity Eton College doesn’t accept girls; I wonder if we could get special approval from the school then.”

Listening to Chen Yu, Jounouchi Hiromi didn’t find it strange. Based on Chen Yu’s current influence and his impending Divine Enthronement status, Little Yixi would have no difficulties attending any school she desired.

Regarding Eton College not admitting girls, Jounouchi Hiromi also believed Chen Yu could resolve it. After all, the HMS Victory—the United Kingdom’s sole Guardian God—was one of Chen Yu’s Ship-girls. Using her connections to pressure both the British Government and Eton College would easily pave the way for Little Yixi’s admission.

Since Chen Yu could handle this matter effortlessly, Jounouchi Hiromi no longer concerned herself about it. Instead, she excitedly held their daughter, contemplating their upcoming trip to Maldives.

And speaking of Maldives, she herself hadn’t been there yet! Should she consider buying a few swimsuits first?

As these thoughts crossed her mind, Jounouchi Hiromi picked up her tablet and started searching online for information about Maldives, planning how to spend their time there.

Seeing Jounouchi Hiromi’s enthusiastic demeanor, Chen Yu didn’t interrupt her but instead began organizing his belongings, ensuring everything needed for their Maldives trip was prepared.

After all, he wasn’t just heading there for leisure but also to inspect the laboratory; the necessary preparations had to be made.

While Chen Yu packed, Jounouchi Hiromi suddenly turned to him and asked, “Dear, I saw a couple’s Maldives tour. Should we book a package for Mom and Dad? I heard them mention that they’ve hardly ever traveled abroad properly!”

“A couple’s tour? What’s that exactly? Let me see,” Chen Yu responded, sitting beside her as he took the tablet to look.

The couple’s tour Jounouchi Hiromi mentioned was essentially a standard double-person tour, but travel agencies marketed it using themes like romance and love, designing the itinerary to appear more suited for couples.

While Chen Yu didn’t typically care much about such things, knowing this was for his parents made him seriously consider letting them enjoy it.

After thinking it through, he said, “My parents have only ever traveled domestically a few times, and they usually joined group tours, which weren’t enjoyable. This time, we might as well plan the very best for them.”

“That’s what I think too. If there’s an opportunity to take the elders on a trip, we should pick the best,” Jounouchi Hiromi said while cradling their daughter.

Chen Yu nodded affirmatively and, remembering Hiromi’s mother, promptly added, “Why don’t we invite your mom too? We can’t let my parents go to Maldives and leave your mom out. That would surely spark gossip if word got out.”

Jounouchi Hiromi agreed with a nod. “Sounds good! I’ll give my mom a call later.”

Having finalized this matter, Chen Yu and Jounouchi Hiromi continued browsing through online photos of Maldives. As they admired the stunning landscapes, Jounouchi Hiromi couldn’t help exclaiming, “Is this the kind of place we’ll live in the future?”

“Yeah, I’m planning for us to settle here. But if you find life on the island too boring, we can return to Tokyo anytime—it’s no trouble for us,” Chen Yu replied casually, confidently pulling his wife and daughter into a hug and adding boastfully, “Next year, the yacht I commissioned in the United States will be finished. Then we can live in Maldives for a few months during the winter and return to Tokyo in the summer—it doesn’t matter either way.”

“Is that even possible? It sounds pretty fantastic!” Jounouchi Hiromi laughed. Though the idea seemed slightly outlandish, she found such a lifestyle appealing.

“Of course, it’s possible. Think of it this way, dear: Once I finish my plans, our family will be deities. If deities can’t live as they please, who else in this world could possibly lead a carefree life?” Chen Yu said, stroking Little Yixi’s head as she nodded off in Hiromi’s arms, before flashing her a grin.

Hearing Chen Yu mention Divine Enthronement, Jounouchi Hiromi remembered it too and asked with concern, “How’s your plan coming along, dear? Is there anything I can help you with?”

“Everything’s pretty much prepared. As for anything you could help with…” Chen Yu initially started saying there wasn’t anything she could do but suddenly remembered something and changed his answer: “Actually, there is one thing you can help with. I plan to bring Naoki with me to inspect the laboratory this time. Hiromi, why don’t you invite Minami to come along too? It could give the two of them more opportunities to interact.”
