Chapter 1049: Chapter 1042 Humanity
The statent by the married couple Yu Chen and Hiromi resigning from the Cultural dal caused a great stir in Japan.
Previously hailed by the governnt as genius and super doctors, the Japanese people revered and idolized them as a source of national pride. Particularly, after the dia reported that Chen Yu held Chinese citizenship, a significant portion of Japanese people felt even more proud.
They believed Chen Yu is Chinese, yet he did not achieve success in China but rather accomplished his research results in Japan, highlighting the superiority of Japanese research conditions, which made them proud.
But the sudden announcent by Yu Chen and Hiromi of resigning from Japan’s highest honor in science and culture undoubtedly left many puzzled and shocked.
Long reports by the dia covered this issue, and a bunch of journalists simply set up tents at the hospital entrance just to corner Chen Yu for an interview.
Various speculations and discussions were rampant, trying to guess why Yu Chen and Hiromi resigned from the Cultural dal.
As for the joint announcent by Yu Chen and Hiromi Jounouchi, everyone scrutinized it word by word. No one believed what they wrote in the statent, that they rely wanted to contribute to human dicine and didn’t wish to accept honors from any country.
So even connected the matter to Kenzaburo Oe’s past refusal of the Cultural dal, going as far as interviewing the literary giant who once won the Nobel Prize in Literature.
Yu Chen couldn’t care less about the Japanese societal discussions about the incident and even had Akagi block the inquiries from the Japanese Governnt.
As for himself, he took his daughter to visit the Inari God’s divine domain together with Hiromi Jounouchi.
“Hey! Don’t pull my tail!” The Little Rice Princess, who hadn’t been seen for a while, was trying to snatch back her tail from Little Yixi’s hands.
When she was playing with Little Yixi earlier, the fluffy big tail was evidently very appealing to Little Yixi, who directly hugged it.
The Little Rice Princess wanted to use force but was afraid of hurting Little Yixi, so she carefully pulled her tail out of Little Yixi’s embrace bit by bit.
Nearby, Suzuhi saw the pitiful appearance of the Little Rice Princess and couldn’t help but laugh, yet her hand remained steady as she pushed the brewed tea towards Chen Yu.
“Lord Chen Yu, are you here to seek peace and quiet?” The Inari God also picked up a cup of tea, sipped it slowly, enjoying the aroma while asking Chen Yu why he left Tokyo at this ti.
“The troubles of the mundane world are overwhelming. Although I returned from Russia to deal with these things, those journalists are really too botherso.” As the fragrant tea entered his throat, Chen Yu answered Inari God’s question with a bitter smile on his face.
To Chen Yu, those journalists and dia are naturally without threat, but their daily stationing at the hospital and his ho entrance just to interview him once was sothing exceedingly botherso enough to make him instinctively want to cast several curses to shut them up.
Yet, these journalists are just ordinary people, and their actions are simply their job. Despite finding it annoying, Chen was not at the point where he’d cast curses at others over such matters.
Moreover, casting curses on these journalists would indeed drive them away, but considering that among these journalists are people from television stations, and the internet is so advanced now, anything involving transcendent topics being spread out will only bring more troubles to Chen Yu.
Thus, without necessity, Chen Yu didn’t want to do this.
Because of this, he had to hide away in Kyoto together with Hiromi Jounouchi.
For Inari God, he naturally had not experienced such an ordeal as Yu Chen’s, but in regards to Yu Chen’s current situation, He had so disagreent.
“Speaking of which, Lord Chen Yu, you are about to beco a deity yourself soon, so there’s no need to mingle with mortals anymore, right?” The Inari God set down His teacup, looked at Chen Yu and persuaded, “As deities, we ought to have the deanor of deities.”
The fact that Inari God could say this evidently ant He already regarded Chen Yu as a deity.
Upon hearing Inari God’s advice, Chen Yu was sowhat surprised: “Why does Your Highness Miketsu say so?”
“Mortals and deities ought not to mix, for they always overly rely on the existence of deities.” Inari God shook His head, sighed, and said, “In the past, humans and deities lived together; deities provided shelter for mortals, and mortals offered faith to deities.
Everything seed beautiful, but mortals’ greed and desire had no end. They offered insignificant offerings to Deities but demanded more divine grace and rewards, treating prayers and faith in Deities as transactions. When returns were not received, they presud Deities useless and ceased believing… I have truly seen too many examples like this.”
Inari God’s words left Chen Yu speechless.
The greed of humanity — how could he not understand it? As a doctor, Chen Yu had already seen countless facets of life in the hospital; the ugly, dark side of human nature was sothing he had grown accustod to.
“Such matters… indeed, humanity has a bad side, but don’t they also have a good side?” Although Yu Chen had long understood the dark side of human nature, he still believed in its beauty: “Moreover, I am human too, and even if I beca a deity, it wouldn’t erase the fact that I was once a mortal myself.”
Chen Yu set down the emptied teacup as he watched the Little Rice Princess finally snatch back her tail from Little Yixi, though now being stared at by Little Yixi’s large watery eyes had no choice but to extend her tail back to Little Yixi, he laughed: “Besides, I hope my daughter can grow up as a mortal, not born as a deity; she needs to learn what humanity is.”
“Humanity?” Seeing Chen Yu say this, Inari God looked at the joyful Little Yixi hugging the Little Rice Princess’s tail but didn’t say anything more: “If this is Lord Chen Yu’s choice.”
Giving up on continuing the discussion about humanity with Chen Yu, Inari God turned to speak of serious matters: “Lord Chen Yu, your divine enthronent plan should be nearly prepared, right? When do you plan to begin the final step?”
“Once I’ve dealt with mundane affairs, it’ll be ti to start this matter.” Chen Yu smiled, indeed it was ti to proceed: “All preparations are complete, and my forces are ready. As for Your Highness Miketsu, are you prepared?”
“I have already contacted the deities willing to partake in this matter; everything is ready, just awaiting the east wind.” Inari God responded affirmatively to Chen Yu’s inquiry.
Receiving Inari God’s assured reply, Chen Yu nodded slightly, his expression turning serious: “Then let’s set it on next Valentine’s Day. It’s a very suitable day for proposing!”
