21st Century Necromancer-Chapter 695 - 691: Under the Tokyo Skytree (Please Subscribe, Request for Monthly Tickets)

"No need, I've already sent a message to my senior asking him to pick us up later." Kohinata Kaori told a little white lie. If it weren't for their mid-journey nap, she might have agreed to let Tsuchimikado Yoshiharu drive them home as Kojo Kyoko suggested.

But since the unexplained sleep had occurred, Kohinata Kaori was resolved not to continue riding in Tsuchimikado Yoshiharu's car.

Seeing Kaori's insistence, Kyoko couldn't say much else and after exchanging courtesies with Tsuchimikado Yoshiharu, she, Minami, and Kohinata Kaori got out of the car.

"Is this Tokyo Skytree? It looks so tall!" Minami exclaimed in awe, turning to Kohinata Kaori and Kojo Kyoko, "Where do we go from here?"

"The Tokyo Skytree can be visited at night too, we can enjoy the Tokyo nightscape from above. Let's go buy tickets and go up!" Kohinata Kaori, despite still being wary of Kyoko, shifted her focus back to their evening's enjoyment after getting out of the car.

Hearing her suggestion, Kojo Kyoko naturally had no objections, and Minami also nodded eagerly.

Together, the three of them headed toward the entrance of Tokyo Skytree.

On the other hand, with the help of Isshiki Kazumasu, Tokairin Yūko made it to the restaurant where Inomata Naoki was waiting.

Despite the subway disruption they encountered on the way, the two still enjoyed a lavish and delectable dinner together.

After dinner, Tokairin Yūko, not in a hurry to head home, suggested taking a walk. Inomata Naoki readily agreed, and they left the restaurant together, strolling side by side.

"Tokairin, I heard forensic scientists are considered 7K jobs. I remember hearing that doctors were 6K jobs when I was studying medicine. Seems like we're all in the same boat!" Inomata Naoki said, recalling the time when he had heard that doctors were referred to as having 6K jobs, after Yūko suddenly mentioned she was in a 7K profession.

Yūko nodded in strong agreement, "Yes, when I first studied medicine, I thought saving lives was a noble cause, and being a doctor was a highly respected profession. But once I actually entered the field, I realized that only professors and famous doctors receive respect. The life of an ordinary doctor can be even worse than that of a corporate drone!

Forensic scientists have it even tougher; we have to deal with the deceased. At least doctors receive respect and gratitude from their patients, whereas forensic scientists only get complaints from the families of the deceased... Sigh."

For Tokairin Yūko, her profession had indeed been the reason why many of her arranged dates had failed, adding much frustration to her life. Now that Inomata Naoki brought up the topic of work, she couldn't help but open up and vent about her inner turmoil.

Hearing Yūko speak like this, all Naoki could do was try to comfort her and avoid continuing the conversation on such a disheartening topic.

Seeing Tokyo Skytree ahead, Naoki came up with an idea and said to Yūko, "How about we go look at the night view from Tokyo Skytree? I was still studying in Tokyo when they were building it, and now that it's completed, I've yet to go up there."

"Eh? Really?" Yūko looked at Naoki in surprise but then, after a moment of astonishment, remembered she too had never been up there. She nodded and replied, "Let's go together then. I've never been to Tokyo Skytree either!"

"Let's head over!" Seeing Yūko's agreement, Naoki smiled and invited her.

Upon arriving at the base of Tokyo Skytree, they bought tickets and took the elevator to the observation deck.

Looking out at the expansive night view of Tokyo from the viewing window, all the stress Yūko had felt from discussing her work earlier vanished into thin air.

Feeling her mood improve, she also remembered Qingdai's little tip, "Don't unload your grievances in front of a man," and hastily apologized to Naoki, "Sorry, Naoki, for going on and on at you just now. It was inconsiderate of me!"

"It's okay, it's normal to want to talk to someone when work pressure builds up," Naoki said to Yūko with a smile, not minding her earlier grievance-spilling at all.

However, just as Naoki said this, the voice of Kohinata Kaori suddenly came from behind him, "Second Senior Brother?"
