Tokyo: Let the wicked women pay the price!

Hanako is finally more obedient than before...

After receiving a satisfactory answer, she left without lingering.

"Kazuke-kun, Hanako will listen to you and take her medicine on time."

Fujino Kazuhiko felt like he was still hallucinating hearing those words in his head.

He succumbed to Hanako's tyranny in order to get her to say that.

I spent the weekend with Hanako going out for coffee, shopping, and sukiyaki.

This is what dating is all about! Hey!

Fujino was a little irritated, so he went to Lemon's hospital room to visit the little girl.

But at the door, he encountered Saki, who had a calm expression.

"Saki..."

Saki heard Fujino's voice and coldly replied, "You've come to see Lemon, Mr. Fujino? Then please go inside quickly; I need to get Lemon's medicine."

She had barely finished speaking when she brushed past Fujino without waiting for his response.

She dared not linger near Fujino any longer.

Her feelings were a complex mix of gratitude and resentment towards Fujino.

But she hasn't found the answer yet.

The idea that "there is no escape" is merely the mindset of the strong.

At least for Saki, temporarily escaping her relationship with Fujino would make the problem seem like it didn't exist.

This is her philosophy of youth.

She was almost entirely alone before meeting Fujino, so returning to that state wouldn't be a bad thing.

It's just a little bit of a pity.

Fujino sensed something was wrong; at least it was when she helped Hanako get her medicine.

"Saki-chan... what's wrong?"

The girl ignored Fujino's words, or perhaps she didn't hear them, and walked away without looking back.

As Fujino watched Saki's retreating figure, his irritation intensified.

What are you two doing?

This time after get off work, Fujino bought a huge amount of snacks and beer at FamilyMart, something he never did before.

Watching the popular TV series "Kamen Rider Hibiki" on TV, he slowly sipped a fresh Asahi beer, but his mind seemed to still be in the afternoon.

My weekend date with Hanako... oops, I mean, a medical consultation. Hopefully, I can help her solve some problems.

Fujino genuinely wanted Hanako to be healthy, not simply because the sickly Hanako would stalk him.

This is also the benevolence of a doctor.

As for Saki...

"Who knows what got into that girl again?" Fujino finished his last sip of beer and casually tossed the can into the trash can.

Something unexpected happened.

The aluminum can flew out like a cannonball, smashing the wire mesh trash can and knocking it over to the ground.

Uh......

Fujino looked at his hands, somewhat at a loss.

I've become a Kamen Rider?

What's going on?

He took off his shirt, stood in front of the mirror, and noticed something amiss.

His muscles seemed much firmer, with some lines clearly showing signs of sculpting, but he never works out.

"Oh right," Fujino suddenly realized. He had carried so many things for about a kilometer without even breaking a sweat.

Wow, is this what they called "slight physical enhancement" this afternoon?

He gently pinched his biceps; they were elastic and large.

It has a sense of power, but it doesn't have the overwhelming feeling of clothes bursting off like in anime.

Fujino felt a power surging from within his body, gathering three inches below his dantian. A warm current flowed through his supreme bones, and he felt stronger.

He took a cold shower, washing away his fatigue and the heat in his body.

"Since things have come to this, let's go to sleep."

"Let's talk about it on the weekend."

......

For the next two days, Fujino repeated the cycle of ward rounds, consultations, and visiting lemons.

When life is regular, it naturally feels like time flies by.

Soon, Friday arrived, the day Lemon was discharged from the hospital.

"Professor Kasai, is this a large-scale event?"

Looking at the bustling crowd outside Lemon's ward, Fujino lowered his voice and asked.

All the specialists, assistant professors, and professors from the neurosurgery and psychiatry departments were present.

This kind of spectacle is usually only seen when an old professor passes away.

Kasai pointed confidently at the bald old man bowing and scraping next to Lemon: "See that? That's Professor Tohsaka from the Department of Neuroscience."

"If it weren't for your heroic efforts, that old guy would probably be in deep trouble. He might even have resigned."

He looked Fujino up and down: "You're still underestimating the impact of medical malpractice."

In Tokyo in 2005, although there were no strict regulations for holding medical malpractice accountable, the professor, as the person primarily responsible for the department, especially the surgeon who needed to perform the operation, could not escape blame.

"Fujino-kun! Kasai-senpai!" Professor Tohsaka, who had been standing next to Lemon, straightened up and called out to Fujino and the others in a strong voice, "Miss Lemon wants to see you."

Fujino smiled as he saw Lemon surrounded by the crowd.

She grinned, holding a large bouquet of flowers purchased by the hospital. She didn't jump for joy, but with Saki's help, she stood on tiptoe and looked in Fujino's direction.

Lemon still had bandages wrapped around her head, but she had already changed into her own clothes, a winter school uniform just like Saki's.

She tugged at her coat, smoothing out the wrinkles.

"Fujino-san!"

Hearing her sweet voice, everyone reacted in different ways.

Saki pouted and turned her face away.

The doctors around him all wore expressions of amusement.

Nadeshiko and Professor Kasai wore expressions of kindness as they looked at their juniors.

Koki Takanashi stood on the outer edge of the crowd, thoughtfully taking notes of everything around her.

For a psychiatrist to develop feelings for a patient is one of the most despicable things.

Because of the need for treatment, patients easily become dependent on psychiatrists, which greatly reduces the difficulty of psychological manipulation (i.e., PUA).

Therefore, developing feelings for patients is a taboo subject in psychiatry.

Fujino clearly knew this, but he was more moved than anything else.

This is the first time a patient has thanked me for his healing in public.

"Lemon Jam, take good care of yourself when you get back to the academy." He gently stroked the stray hairs on Lemon's forehead. "Remember to go for your follow-up appointments on time."

Lemon squinted and nodded gently, like a cat: "Lemon understands, Fujino-san."

She took a step back and bowed deeply: "Mr. Min, Lemon's successful discharge from the hospital this time is all thanks to everyone's hard work. Thank you all."

Although the recipient was all the doctors, everyone knew very well who the girl was thanking.

Kazuhiko Fujino.

Specializing in psychiatry.

A greenhorn who graduated less than two years ago.

Professors Kasai and Tohsaka, as the leaders of their respective departments, stepped forward first and bowed deeply: "Ms. Lemon, Ms. Nadeshiko, thank you both for your tolerance towards us."

I don't know how much of Professor Kasai's emotion was genuine, but Professor Tohsaka's gratitude was already evident in his words.

Lemon and her mother exchanged a glance, both with faint smiles on their faces.

Her eyes were gentle as she softly said, "It's not your fault. If it weren't for Fujino-san, we... well, it's a blessing in disguise."

Lemon and Nadeshiko stepped forward and gave Fujino a gentle hug: "Thank you, Fujino-san."

Even after they had gone far away, the doctors were still talking about it.

"Dr. Fujino has really made a name for himself this time."

"Nagata-san said he was really amazing, like an Onmyoji, who healed Ms. Lemon just by touching her head."

"Is psychiatry really that amazing? Why can't our neurological research explain it?"

Amidst whispers, Professor Tohsaka affectionately pulled Fujino aside: "Fujino-kun! You've really been a great help this time!"

"No, no, Professor Tohsaka."

Although neurosurgery is not as complex as primary surgery, which involves the digestive tract, and does not hold such a high position or authority, it is a new and emerging department that has emerged from the specialization reform of secondary surgery.

Surgery, performing surgeries, that's the core of a hospital.

Japan's medical system operates by prioritizing surgery over internal medicine for the same bodily system.

Neurosurgery corresponds to internal medicine, which is neurology. Psychiatry, on the other hand, is the internal medicine department responsible for all surgical procedures.

Professor Tohsaka knew very well that the psychiatry department was a resource that the entire hospital was vying for. Although there weren't many patients with both mental illness and psychiatric comorbidities, each one of them was a ticking time bomb.

If you're not careful, you could blow him to pieces.

Kasai is not young anymore; investing in Fujino now is a sure thing.

He grabbed Fujino's shoulder and turned to the neurosurgeon, shouting, "Minna-san! Dr. Fujino has been a huge help to our department this time! Tonight, it's my treat, everyone come have a good meal! The psychiatrists can come too!"

"Those guys from outside the Shinigami world, you'll have to thank Fujino-kun properly then!"

"Let him feel our enthusiasm!"
