21st Century Necromancer-Chapter 696 - 692: The Meeting (Please Subscribe, Seeking Monthly Tickets)
"Kaori? What are you doing here?" Naoki Inomata turned around, only to see Kohinata Kaori, along with Minami and Kyoko Kojo beside her.
"Just hanging out with friends, and you, Second Senior Brother...?" Kohinata Kaori saw Tokairin Yuko standing beside Naoki Inomata and immediately understood, a sly smile spread across her face, "I was wondering why you kept running to Tokyo lately! I thought you were coming to see me and Senior Brother Chen, but it turns out you're sneaking around with your girlfriend! I won't disturb you then! Enjoy your time with your girlfriend!"
After saying that, Kohinata Kaori, pulling Minami, was ready to leave.
However, her words made both Naoki Inomata and Tokairin Yuko blush with embarrassment. Naoki Inomata quickly stopped her, "Kaori, what are you talking about? Miss Tokairin and I are just friends for now, we haven't reached that stage yet!"
"Oh, oh, oh! You haven't reached that stage and yet you run to Tokyo every week, what if you do reach that stage... wouldn't you then be living in Tokyo every day? Why not just accept Senior Brother Chen's invitation and work for him! It would save you from having to trek from Kumamoto to Tokyo every week." Having been stopped by Naoki Inomata, Kohinata Kaori's face was even more teasingly smiling as she looked at Naoki Inomata and Tokairin Yuko, giggling non-stop.
"Kaori!" Naoki Inomata called out to stop Kohinata Kaori from going on and then introduced to Tokairin Yuko, "This is Kohinata Kaori, she is our junior sister during our time at The University of Tokyo, and she's also working at Tokyo University Hospital now."
Seeing that Naoki Inomata formally introduced her, Kohinata Kaori put away her sly smile, and greeted properly, "Sister-in-law, hello, I'm Kohinata Kaori, Naoki's junior at university. It's my first time meeting you, please look after me!"
"Hello, I'm Tokairin Yuko, it's my first time meeting, please look after me!" Tokairin Yuko also hurriedly greeted Kohinata Kaori.
After the two had exchanged greetings, Naoki Inomata then turned his gaze to Minami, who was standing beside Kohinata Kaori, "Hello, you must be Kaori's friend, right? I'm her senior... Have we met somewhere before?"
Looking at Minami, Naoki Inomata felt a very familiar sensation, thinking he must have seen her somewhere.
"Hey, hey, hey! Second Senior Brother, that's too much! You've got a girlfriend yet you're hitting on my friend!" Kohinata Kaori quickly stepped in front of Minami, pretending to be unhappy, but actually trying to playfully gloss over the situation, "And your pick-up line is so old-fashioned! Have we met before, in a dream, perhaps?"
"No, Kaori, you've got it wrong, I really have seen her! It's just that I can't remember when!" Naoki Inomata hurriedly explained and also looked towards Tokairin Yuko, relieved to see she didn't look angry, and still he explained to her, "Tokairin, don't get me wrong, I have no other intentions towards this lady, I just feel she looks familiar, and I want to know where I've seen her before."
"Really? But Second Senior Brother, you do look very suspicious!" Kohinata Kaori looked at Naoki Inomata skeptically, still not believing him.
However, at this moment, Minami looked at Naoki Inomata with a complex expression, hesitated momentarily while biting her lip, then tugged at Kohinata Kaori's clothes and whispered, "Your senior brother has indeed met me before."
"Eh? Really?" Although Minami spoke softly, Kohinata Kaori still heard her, turning back in surprise to look at her.
Minami nodded, then greeted Naoki Inomata again, "We met at Doctor Chen Yu's wedding. You were sitting behind me, and we had a chat. You even caught Doctor Jounouchi's bouquet and gave it to me."
Minami certainly knew about her predestined connection with Inomata Naoki, but seeing that he already had a girlfriend, coupled with the warnings from Doctor Chen Yu and the Inari God, she had no romantic thoughts about him and didn't consider him the one destined for her.
Still, Minami was seriously sizing up Inomata Naoki, the man who seemed destined for her and who was said to bring about the destruction of the world if she fell in love with him.
A thought couldn't help but cross Minami's mind—if she really fell in love with this man, what would it be like to decide to destroy the world?
She feared the first one to jump out and destroy her would probably be Doctor Chen Yu, the man who had saved her, right?
Given his immense power, he was content to be a normal...no, an extraordinary ordinary doctor, perhaps the kind of Guardian who was hidden in the anime and novels, protecting the world?
If she really fell in love with this man and caused a world crisis, would he come and eliminate her to save the world?
While these thoughts swirled in Minami's head, her eyes remained fixed on Inomata Naoki, and that unblinking gaze made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Kohinata Kaori hurriedly tugged at Minami and said to her, "Stop looking, my second senior brother already has a girlfriend. I'll introduce you to the male doctors at our hospital next time!"
After speaking, Kohinata Kaori glanced at Inomata Naoki, gave him a meaningful look, and, pulling Minami along, they ran off. While running, she said, "Second senior brother, we're taking off. Don't stay out too late tonight; think about how you're going to face Senior Brother Chen's interrogation tomorrow!"
Watching as Kohinata Kaori and Minami ran off, Kojo Kyoko gave a slight bow to Inomata Naoki and Tokairin Yūko before she chased after them.
"Strange indeed..." Inomata Naoki shrugged his shoulders as he watched the three run away, feeling a bit perplexed but not dwelling on it. He just smiled at Tokairin Yūko and said, "I'm sorry, Kaori is just like that, she's a bit of a jester."
"It's fine, she's very sincere and lively—I like that kind of personality!" Tokairin Yūko smiled demurely, indicating she wasn't troubled by it.
She could clearly see that Kohinata Kaori and Inomata Naoki were very close friends. Moreover, from their conversation, she could tell that both of them knew Chen Yu. If there had been something between them, Chen Yu wouldn't have arranged for Misumi Mikoto to be introduced.
Thus, for Tokairin Yūko, Kohinata Kaori didn't pose a threat.
Rather, it was Minami, who had been staring at Inomata Naoki the whole time, this young lady who didn't introduce herself, that Tokairin Yūko was curious about; because the way she looked at Inomata Naoki was really strange—it didn't seem like the look of someone encountering a stranger at a wedding.

Having noted this, Tokairin Yūko still walked around the Tokyo Skytree with Inomata Naoki but planned to consult Qingdai about the matter after getting back.
