I, Aki Tomoya, will not be a simp.

Medicine is rigorous, but there are still many unpredictable factors.

And people are like that too; who knows if the deceased's family will then take their anger out on the hospital.

Of course, this is under the assumption that there are no problems during the surgery, the subsequent care, and the entire treatment process, and that we have truly done our best.

Only the hospital knows exactly what happened during the treatment process.

Japanese people like to apologize when something goes wrong, but apologies are not a panacea.

“One wrong step leads to another. Fortunately, my father only cared about reputation and avoided the center of power.”

"Your professor is different from Suzutani-kun's professor."

“But my family’s cardiovascular professor mostly schedules surgeries for VIPs. Suzuya-kun’s father will take on any surgery, no matter who it is.”

In Majima's later words, Suzuya's father was a renowned thoracic and abdominal surgeon who cared a lot about what others thought.

However, medical disputes are a disaster for all doctors.

"I'm thinking about Takagi's expression when school starts."

I wonder how that Kyoto guy will view what's happening in the Kanto region this time.

As the start of the semester approaches, the doors to the medical field have already opened a little in university, but surviving in it still requires a great deal of effort.

"Oh no, I didn't realize the time. I have an appointment... By the way, I might need your guidance in the future. You probably spent the entire summer vacation in the anatomy lab and dissection room, right?"

To be honest, when Aki Tomoya explained the whole process of the pathological examination of the deceased's tissue to them, Mashima understood just how beneficial it was to be able to go into the laboratory every day to study slides.

In the world of doctors, competence is very important.

However, Majima likes to be friends with people like that.

"Girlfriend? You're a true winner in life!"

Aki Tomoya jokingly said this to his departing friend, with a teasing smile on his face.

He's handsome, comes from a good family, excels in his studies, and has a great personality—he's simply amazing...

Majima gave an awkward laugh: "Aren't you just as popular?"

After some teasing, Majima said goodbye to Aki's house and said that he would invite Aki Tomoya to visit his house sometime.

After seeing Majima off, he felt a pang of sadness as he thought about the current situation of Suzuya, who had been ranked number one in their year.

Getting first place in the third science class isn't as glamorous as it seems.

During this period, encountering such an unfortunate situation, one can only say that things are unpredictable. As for whether it will affect the third-year science classes, that remains to be seen.

"The 21st...tomorrow..."

Back in my room, I checked the calendar. Tomorrow is the 21st, but I still have some things to do.

He glanced at the number for that day, but because of Suzuya's arrival, he was thinking more about the fate of the top student in the same year.

Chapter 219 Sunny Morning (2/2)

"Hairstyle, OK!"

Her signature, exquisitely crafted golden twin tails.

"The clothes are OK!"

I'm wearing my new dress! Let's show off my ecchi territory!

"Your spirits are OK!"

Show your true colors, childhood sweetheart type!

"Your gaze isn't fierce enough, give it a sharper look!"

"OK! Uh...Mom?!"

Eriri was unwittingly led astray by her mother at home. She turned around and looked at her mother, Sayuri Sawamura, with a wistful expression.

Her gaze couldn't be any fiercer; she was already at her best!

However, her mother's teasing left her feeling quite helpless.

"Cheer up, this is a date!"

Sayuri Sawamura raised her voice when she said the word "date".

She placed her hands on Eriri's shoulders and gently massaged them.

"My body is tense."

Noticing her nervousness immediately, Sayuri Sawamura chuckled.

She is essentially her mother, but looks more like her older sister.

But it's certain that I'm worried about her problems.

"Take your time, don't be nervous, that way we won't let a good man slip away."

Ultimately, even after going to university, you're still just a child.

Looking at her, Sayuri Sawamura began to worry about her.

"I really can't rest easy about you, you little idiot, unless I find someone smart to take care of you!"

A teasing yet indulgent voice echoed in Eriri's ears.

Eriri slowly relaxed, puffed out her cheeks, and replied somewhat defiantly, "I'm not stupid..."

Sawamura Sayuri smiled as she looked at Eriri's puffed-up cheeks in the mirror.

"You are my princess!"

The princess, who had always lived in the castle, gradually began to come into contact with the wider world.

Princess, that's right!

She treated her like a princess.

Eriri burst out laughing at Sawamura Sayuri's words.

"Tricks to coax children..."

But it's very useful, isn't it?

Sayuri Sawamura smiled without saying a word.

"You've been preparing for a long time, Eriri."

Eriri was preparing for this day, and Sayuri Sawamura had been watching closely.

"I couldn't invite that kid over before, but now he's personally inviting you. If you don't seize this opportunity, then..."

"No, no, please, Mom, stop talking!"

Before she could even utter the word "regret," Eriri quickly interrupted her.

She dared to say that her mother, Sayuri Sawamura's, words had a very hypnotic effect.

However, there are some things that Eriri still feels she should do herself.

However, just as easily, ignoring the teachings of adults can lead to serious consequences, and Eriri should keep this in mind.

Dating?

She actually hopes that's the case.

If it's a date, wouldn't that be wonderful?

I had a vague sense of anticipation, but I was also hesitant to get too excited.

I used to think too highly of myself, and as a result, I was cruelly shattered. You can't just rely on your own feelings.

Just like she naively thought before, that kind of underground spy-like relationship could actually maintain their childhood sweetheart relationship.

In the end, the other person fully revealed how painful that twisted relationship was.

"Do you find Mom nagging?"

Sayuri Sawamura said, pretending to be very sad.

She knows her child has his own ideas, which is good, but that doesn't stop her from offering advice.

Eriri shook her head, opened her mouth as if to say something, but then didn't know what to say.

In short, I've grown up!

Saying such things doesn't necessarily mean she's changed much from the blonde girl she was in high school.

Of course, I'm referring to appearance; there's no possibility of him growing taller.

But in other aspects, there have been changes to some extent.

"...I'm really afraid you'll miss out on something, especially since you have the opportunity to fight for what you want right now."

Sayuri Sawamura couldn't help but mutter to herself at this moment.
