In the laboratory, Chen Yu was using various instruments to analyze the Dragon Blood Healing Potion he brought. Although he had no intention of revealing it to the public, nor did he plan to let the potion circulate, he still had to perform the necessary detection and analysis.
The laboratory in the Necromantic Space was a Magic Laboratory. Although many experiments and analyses could be conducted there, the principles were different, and the test results varied accordingly. Therefore, Chen Yu still needed to carry out monitoring and analysis of the Dragon Blood Potion in a laboratory based on scientific principles to decipher the composition and effects of the potion from a scientific standpoint.

Hiromi Jounouchi watched Chen Yu busily at work beside him. Because the potion needed to be kept secret, only the two of them were in the laboratory.
"Mr. Chen Yu, do I sometimes cause you trouble?" Hiromi Jounouchi suddenly asked Chen Yu. Since she had solidified her resolve to support Chen Yu, she couldn’t help reflecting on some of her actions over this period, "Like the incident where you used the Dragon Blood Potion on Keiko’s father, did my worries about these things cause trouble for you?"
"Trouble? Hiromi, why would you think that?" Chen Yu placed the potion sample into the analyzer, and while waiting for the machine’s results, he looked at Hiromi Jounouchi with a bit of surprise, not understanding why she had brought this up out of the blue.
"Because I am hindering you, aren’t I? As your wife, I should be your most steadfast supporter, but instead, I always seem to be causing you troubles... Like today’s incident, you’re trying to cure Keiko’s father, yet I am here worrying about the ethical and moral implications of such actions..." Hiromi Jounouchi’s expression became more tangled as she spoke, mixed with a touch of guilt.
In traditional Japanese culture, a wife is supposed to provide support for her husband, regardless of what he does. A good wife, according to Japanese traditional ideals, should always back her husband. This is what makes a wife commendable in their view.

Of course, a husband should also bear the responsibility and burdens of the family, earning a living to support the household. This is also why many Japanese women stop working after getting married because husbands are expected to provide for the entire family.
However, hearing Hiromi Jounouchi’s words, Chen Yu laughed, walked over to her, and held her in his embrace, "Fool, your worries precisely prove your kindness and moral compass. Why would I feel troubled by that? Besides, Hiromi, your concerns serve as a constraint for me. You must understand that I am a Necromancer. The necromancy I study is not a technique to save lives and heal the wounded but a skill meant to cause death.
Although I have used necromancy for healing, the Necromancer’s study of death is also aimed at transcending and reversing life and death, but in the end, it cannot hide or refute that necromancy itself is built upon killing and desecration of the dead.
You have also watched ’Crimson Hymn’, and I believe you understand that the more one researches and studies these things, the stronger the impact on a Necromancer’s own ethical and moral views, the more powerful the Necromancer, the more indifferent he becomes to life. I’m already developing such a tendency, gradually losing respect for Life because I can control death! In my eyes, humans are slowly becoming like those lab rats locked in cages, identical as experiment subjects!
This is the aftereffect and impact of studying necromancy, just like Meiqin becoming gradually indifferent to corpses after dissecting many. Humans do become numb over time.
I don’t know whether this is good or bad, right or wrong, after all, from different standpoints, my actions mean entirely different things.
From a doctor’s perspective, I am researching how to heal diseases and save lives. From a Necromancer’s perspective, I am improving my skills. But from an ordinary person’s viewpoint, human experimentation, desecrating corpses, toying with the dead... all these actions are unacceptable to an ordinary person’s moral standards.
I have no regrets about choosing the path of a Necromancer, nor do I care about what ordinary people think. But I hope that before I am a Necromancer, I am still a human, a person with emotions and humanity, not a Necromancer who sees human beings as just sources of corpses and materials. I don’t want to become that sort of person...
Your existence, Hiromi, to me, is like a warning bell. Your love for me keeps my humanity intact, while your kindness also restrains my actions, reminding me from time to time that I am a person, not a monster who views humans as mere weeds."
"But as a wife, shouldn’t I be supporting your career? No matter what decisions you make, I should be the person who supports you the most, not the one who sings a different tune," Hiromi Jounouchi said as she listened to Chen Yu’s heartfelt words, her brow slightly furrowed. She felt even more so that she should support whatever Chen Yu wanted to do.
"As a wife, one indeed should support her husband, but this support should not be blind," Chen Yu said, deeply moved by Hiromi Jounouchi’s feelings and thoughts, yet even more firm in his own views, "I don’t want you to be the kind of wife who hands me a knife when I kill someone; such a wife is just an appendage to her husband. The wife I envision should be able to help me with my career, dissuade me when I make wrong decisions, support me when I am in trouble, and offer her opinions for my consideration when I am confused.
That’s why I transformed you into a Dragon-descent Blood Knight, an entity not even I can defeat, and prepared a Legendary Dragon as your mount, that way, if I ever make some mistakes due to necromancy in the future, you will have the strength to stop me."
"Speaking like that, you sure set high standards for me," Hiromi Jounouchi couldn’t help but laugh wryly. The image of the ideal wife in Chen Yu’s mind had such high expectations that even though Hiromi Jounouchi had confidence in herself, she still felt she had a long way to go to meet that standard.
However, looking at Chen Yu, Hiromi Jounouchi still showed him her radiant smile and nodded seriously, "But since I’ve become your wife, I will strive towards the standard of the perfect wife you have in mind! I may not be very capable, but please take care of me in the future."
After finishing her statement, Hiromi Jounouchi bowed deeply to Chen Yu with earnest reverence, according to traditional etiquette.
Seeing Hiromi Jounouchi bow, Chen Yu, too, broke into a smile and returned the gesture, "I’ll be in your care as well."
