Chapter 69: A Talk Between Men
I then went to the operation room with Renji-san as promised.
To take a sample of my altered muscle fibers.
I sat on the operating table and talked to Renji-san as he prepared for the operation.
“By the way, I didn’t know Renji-san was a leading expert in muscle research! You’re world-renowned, and that’s awesome!”
Hearing that Renji-san made a proud face.
“Fufufu, that’s not all. I’m a terrific surgeon, and the places I’ve operated on don’t leave any surgical scars at all. Sometimes people joke that I didn’t really operate, and that I come out looking exhausted after listening to classical music and doing muscle training in the operating room.”
“Haha, far from being humble, you seem to be proud of yourself, Renji-san!”
“It can’t be helped. I have such wonderful friends. Such a wonderful daughter, so I must be a wonderful person, too. Of course, my wonderful friends include you.”
Renji-san laughed as he said so.
I was not just kidding around.
I thought it was very nice to be able to think that way.
I wish I had as much confidence in myself as Renji-san…
I laugh weakly, and Renji-san pauses in his preparation for the operation.
“I’d appreciate it if you don’t tell Chieri about this though…”
Saying that, he sat down next to me.
Then he spoke slowly in a gentle voice.
“I was really a weak person. I was bullied every day in school… but my late wife was a strong person. She never flinched from my bullies and stood by my side. I tried to be someone who could help others like she did. —I never thought she would confess to me, though!”
He laughed and patted my head.
“Ruka-kun, people can change. It is easy. All it takes is courage and… a little humor.”
“… Yes!”
“Okay, let’s do the surgery then! Do you think you will be okay without anesthesia, Ruka-kun?”
Renji-san made a joke with a bad face.
“No, I would love to have Kashiwagi-san administer the anesthesia!”
“Yeah? What do you mean?”
“Ask her later! I’m sure you’ll see some interesting reactions!”
—Needless to say, later that day, Kashiwagi-san, with a red face, barged into my room and scolded me.
