Tokyo: Let the wicked women pay the price!

The consultation ended with the bird swimming angrily as it left.

Of course, she also took her underling, Tetsuo Kamijou, with her.

Fujino set up a stall and displayed his so-called "panic-related symptom scale".

It's a very simple table.

He patiently sat down next to Kitano Megumi and helped her fill out the form.

"Being alone in the enclosed space of the back seat of a taxi (3 points of fear): Completely normal."

"That's it, Kitano-san. Saki-chan and I will be with you. You need to make a table listing the level of fear associated with these behaviors and your possible reactions."

"Ah, that's right. Fujino-san."

Kitano Megumi was no longer as reserved as she had been during the "consultation".

She smiled and nodded, looking relaxed.

Saki watched Fujino and Kitano Megumi's conversation from the side.

Harmony and warmth.

He always seemed to have this power to stabilize the state of those around him.

Whether it's the patient or her.

......

the other side.

Psychiatric Specialist Office.

The little bird sat behind the desk, somewhat displeased.

"Useless! Although it's rushed, this is your best chance—a chance to compete against Fujino."

"You actually messed it up?"

Seeing that Kamijo Tetsuhiko was keeping his head down and not daring to speak, she suddenly felt bored.

"Am I supposed to deal with him myself?"

"That's far too unbecoming of you."

Kamijou, standing like a lackey, kept his head down, but his mind was racing.

Do you think it's beneath your dignity to engage in office politics so blatantly?

He didn't care; he was just a medical student.

If you can't make it at the University of Tokyo Hospital, you can still find a job at the affiliated hospitals of older medical schools like Naniwa or Gunma.

But why should Takanashi have the right to swim?

How dare they treat a student who is highly regarded by the professors at the medical school in such a blatant way?

Did Professor Kasai even tacitly approve of this behavior?

He couldn't figure it out, or rather, he was too lazy to think about it.

He has no talent, so he can only obey orders.

But obviously, when the sky falls, someone tall will hold it up.

Although Koki Takanashi is less than 160cm tall, if the professor were to settle scores later, it wouldn't be him.

Following the instructions of one's predecessors has always been a glorious tradition at the University of Tokyo.

"Alright, alright, get lost. Seeing your dejected look makes me angry."

When Tetsuo Kamijou heard Takanashi's voice, it was like hearing celestial music.

He apologized, turned and ran, quickly leaving this place of trouble.

After Kamijou left for a while and could no longer hear any movement from inside the house,

Takanashi seemed to have lost all his strength, and slumped into his office chair.

The professor was already somewhat displeased with dealing with Fujino this time.

You should know that she was also under tremendous psychological burden.

Although she comes from a family of doctors, her father and sister are both highly accomplished in their respective fields.

But letting Kasai turn a blind eye is already the limit.

"Damn it! My sister said this method has no chance of working."

"He must have used some other methods. It's very likely PUA! He set the anchor point for the illness on himself and used psychological manipulation on the patient."

"I'm doing this out of responsibility to the patients! Out of responsibility to the patients!"

She picked up the phone and dialed without hesitation.

Drip—drip—

When the call connected, Takanashi immediately adopted a slightly obsequious expression and adopted a high-pitched voice.

"Sister~ Yes, I'm Mitsuki."

"Do you remember Fujino? Yes, yes, he's the guy I asked you and my father to help restrict his promotion to specialist medicine."

"With Professor Kasai's help at the medical center, I've done my best. I haven't been able to restrict his access to medical care, nor have I been able to prevent him from obtaining the exam qualification."

"Yes, yes, I'm just too incompetent."

Hearing the busy tone on the other end of the phone, she reluctantly put down the receiver.

My sister is such a busy person, she really doesn't have time to listen to my complaints.

Fortunately, she took over the task, so I only needed to investigate and record the information, and I no longer had to take the initiative.

She will start with the medical association.

......

"Tuesday, December 6th."

"Being alone in the enclosed space of the back seat of a taxi (3 points of fear): Completely normal."

"Alone in the empty, pure white stairwell (4 points of fear): Slightly panting, I'm alright."

"Alone in an enclosed elevator (7 points of panic): severe shortness of breath, but able to calm down, feeling generally okay."

"Get close to listen to the tram sounds (8 points of fear):"

Saki put down her pen and handed Kitano Megumi a cookie: "Miss Kitano, how are you feeling now?"

Kitano Megumi's fingertips were still trembling as she took the cookie, but she nodded firmly: "Fujino-san, Saki-chan, I feel better than ever before."

She took a sip of water, her lips moving slightly: "When I hear those sounds, I'm not so scared anymore."

"If I put in a little more effort, I think I can do it."

"A real man!"

Saki smiled as she watched Kitano Megumi's confident expression and made a note of it in her notebook.

"Listening closely to the sound of the tram (8 points of fear): Fear, but to a reasonable degree, with no physical reaction."

Kitano Megumi took a cookie out of the bag and muttered to herself as she chewed it, "Should I try riding a train?"

She did the same thing last time; under Himegami Ayame's instigation, she hesitated for a long time on the bench before boarding the tram.

Despite experiencing tinnitus, shortness of breath, and dizziness, I still managed to reach the ward office with the help of medication.

But clearly, this had a negative impact on her next tram ride.

Her fear intensified.

It's so intense that even just mentioning it now makes my calves cramp.

Fujino stood to the side, quietly observing Kitano Megumi.

He saw it; her face was full of feigned composure, her muscles tense to the point of screaming that she was terrified.

He took the form from Saki and interrupted Kitano Megumi's eagerness: "Let's go."

"Huh?"

"That's all for today, let's go eat." Fujino extended his hand to Kitano Megumi, who could barely get up. "I know a ramen place, let's go together."

Saki followed behind, pouting.

I just thought Fujino-san was incredibly charming when he was working... and that we worked together seamlessly...

This...this must just be out of concern for the patient, right?

In the brief moment she was lost in thought, Fujino and Kitano Megumi had already walked quite a distance.

She shook her head, wondering what she was even thinking!

He hurriedly followed.

A warm bowl of noodle soup soothes the soul.

After finishing a bowl of ramen, Kitano Megumi was noticeably better.

She laughed heartily, "Boss! Another one, please!"

Saki pulled Fujino over and pointed at Kitano Megumi: "Fujino-san, was this also part of your plan?"

"If you wind the clockwork too tightly, it could break."

"Tsk, this isn't the time for you to lecture me or preach about life!"

In just a few short words, Kitano Megumi finished another bowl of noodles.

She caught a glimpse of Fujino and Saki whispering to each other out of the corner of her eye, and she was still a little confused.

Such a close working relationship is a bit too much, isn't it?

She only revealed a knowing smile when she caught a glimpse of Saki gently wiping the noodle soup from Fujino's mouth with a tissue and then playfully wrinkling her nose to scold him.

Ha ha.

These two have a really good relationship.

Little did they know that this scene was witnessed by Koki Takanashi, who was standing under a tree across from the ramen shop, and of course, by the Olympus in her hand.

Her short stature was concealed by a black outfit.

Looking at the evidence in the camera, the smile on her face gradually turned distorted.

Is eating ramen part of the panic assessment?

"Having too close a personal relationship with a patient is a glaring red line in psychiatry."

"Just wait for your medical license to melt away like cream, Kazuhiko Fujino."
