21st Century Necromancer

Since we're here in Sochi, skiing is naturally something you can't miss out on.

Although yesterday was spent in the villa with their daughter, today, after entrusting their daughter to Belfast and the four little girls from the 6th Destroyer Squadron, Chen Yu and Hiromi Jounouchi headed to the ski resort.

"Hubby, do you know how to ski? Do you need me to teach you?" Hiromi looked at Chen Yu as he changed into his skiing gear, a smile on her face. She could see that Chen Yu didn't seem to know how to ski.

Chen Yu just smiled nonchalantly and said, "Skiing? You pick it up after a couple of tries, no big deal."

Indeed, skiing isn't difficult. Ordinary people might need some time to master it due to body coordination issues, but for Chen Yu, controlling his body is an incredibly simple matter.

With their gear on, skis and poles in hand, the couple headed toward the ski resort.

The resort didn't close down just because they came; in fact, it wasn't necessary at all.

This was a large local ski resort, not crowded, and when Chen Yu and Hiromi arrived by cable car, there weren't many people there.

Chen Yu put on his skis and tried using the poles to push himself forward on the snow. He had to admit, if he only used ordinary human strength, it was indeed somewhat challenging.

Seeing Chen Yu's movements, Hiromi couldn't help but give him some tips: "Hubby, you can lower your center of gravity and spread your legs a bit; this way, you'll save energy and have better control."noveldrama

Actually, if Chen Yu wanted, he could easily propel himself with just a bit more strength in his hands, but that would take away much of the fun.

Skiing is just a game; he didn't need to use strength beyond that of ordinary people, as it felt like cheating and would affect his ability to master the correct skiing technique.

Since they were just on vacation as a couple, it was unnecessary to do so.

With Hiromi's guidance, Chen Yu quickly grasped the knack and began pushing himself forward on the snow.

"Not bad! Hubby, you picked it up pretty fast! Let's try skiing down a slope!" Hiromi suggested to Chen Yu, pointing to a nearby snow slope where several people were already skiing.

Seeing this, Chen Yu nodded; skiing isn't about just pushing yourself forward on flat ground: "Is this slope suitable for beginners? Hiromi, are you trying to watch me fall?"

"Don't worry, this is meant for beginners and hobbyists," Hiromi said with a smile, yet with a hint of mischief: "But falling while skiing is normal, don't cheat, hubby!"

As she said this, Hiromi patted Chen Yu on the shoulder, placing a small sealing spell on him, preventing him from using his strength.

Although this level of sealing spell was merely a thought away from being broken for Chen Yu, he happily accepted Hiromi's request.

However, he made his own request: "Hiromi, you've sealed my abilities, what about yourself? If we're playing, let's be fair."

"Alright, since you said so, hubby," Hiromi agreed, sealing her own powers too, with both of them relying on ordinary human strength today.

The couple reached the top of the slope where only a few tourists were also skiing.

Though they appeared normal, Chen Yu and Hiromi could tell that two among them were from Russian security.

The couple didn't mind; with them around, while it felt like being watched, it would reduce unnecessary hassle and disturbances.

On the top of the slope, Hiromi shared more skiing tips with Chen Yu and then went down the slope first.

Hiromi's skills were impressive. Her good athletic ability and coordination allowed her to swiftly glide across the snow, carving out a graceful trajectory.

Seeing his wife perform so well, Chen Yu felt pressure, yet unwilling to cheat, he took a deep breath and began to ski forward as per Hiromi's guidance.

Initially, Chen Yu was somewhat worried about losing direction or embarrassing himself by falling.

As a soon-to-be Divine Enthronement Demigod, falling because of skiing felt humiliating.

Luckily, once he was out, Chen Yu didn't fall, though he found it hard to control his speed, feeling it was somewhat fast.

This wasn't really a problem for Chen Yu; he tried controlling his direction and speed using Hiromi's earlier advice, gradually slowing down and mastering the knack.

From the bottom of the slope, Hiromi watched as Chen Yu slowly and steadily navigated the slope, smiling. Although he didn't fall, seeing Chen Yu in control, it made her feel the ticket price was worth it.

"What a coincidence, miss, are you skiing today too?" Hiromi heard a somewhat slick voice next to her while watching Chen Yu.

Hiromi turned around to see it was the same person who hit on her yesterday.

Hiromi frowned immediately, turning her face away, not acknowledging the person.

She loathed such presumptuous people, finding them overly frivolous.

Unexpectedly, this person's thick skin didn't relent. Hiromi ignored him, but he kept talking.

"Meeting you in such a foreign place is fate. Why not join me at my hotel where I'll have the chef prepare a special dinner to treat you?" The man quickly said in Japanese, pointing to a hotel at the foot of the mountain: "I'm staying in the highest-grade luxury suite there, would you honor me with your presence?"

Hiromi felt no interest at all, instead feeling there was a fly buzzing by her ear.

Just as she was about to tell the person to get lost, Chen Yu finally skied down and stopped in front of Hiromi, removing his snow goggles and looked at Hiromi with a playful smile: "Miss, I feel like we've got a great connection, would you accompany me for skiing?"

"Of course, I feel we're quite connected too, sir! Let's go ski together!" Hiromi beamed upon hearing Chen Yu, turning her smile on as she left with Chen Yu, leaving the man's embarrassed face behind.
