Chapter 207

On a sunny day, a group of three girls and one boy stood by the pool in a professional swimming pool. Two of them were girls who looked to be high school students.

　　”So, you want to compete with me in swimming-related events today?” Sakuya and I stood by the pool, glancing at the azure water. Just in case, I cast a cleansing spell on the water.

　　”It is indeed going to be a competition of swimming-related events, but it’s not just about swimming.” As planned, Hayasaka Ai booked the entire venue again last night. Of course, there would be swimming competitions, but she also discussed other competitions with Shinomiya Kaguya.

　　”Great! So where’s the changing room?” No matter what the competition is, as long as there’s a swimming event, that’s fine. And if there’s swimming, there are swimsuits. I’d definitely give that a million thumbs up. “Sakuya, you should come too. Wearing a maid outfit in the swimming pool is quite inconvenient; you’ll easily get wet.”

　　Sakuya’s swimsuit was prepared at home when she learned that today’s destination was the swimming pool, so I didn’t need to take one out of my storage space.

　　Izayoi Sakuya had anticipated this while at home, so she wasn’t surprised at all. Although Hayasaka Ai and Shinomiya Kaguya didn’t intend to compete in the doubles event today, they didn’t mind taking Izayoi Sakuya along to change into her swimsuit.

　　After finding out the location of the changing rooms, I went to change first, since the men’s and women’s changing rooms were on opposite sides. Changing into my swimsuit was quick; I just took off my clothes, put on my swim trunks, and that was it. I also took a quick shower, and it was all done in less than ten minutes.

　　Girls are usually a bit slower in this regard. I lay on the sun lounger by the pool for a while before the girls and Sakuya came out of the changing room together.

　　Both Hayasaka Ai and Shinomiya Kaguya wore dark blue school swimsuits. These so-called school swimsuits were actually thicker versions of athletic swimsuits, which covered the upper body almost completely except for a large area of ​​exposed hands and legs. Even so, it was worth it just to see the beautiful girls’ hands and legs. Moreover, if someone had a good figure, the school swimsuit couldn’t hide it.

　　For example, Hayasaka Ai, wearing a dark blue school swimsuit, with her blonde hair, her slender arms and long legs exposed, her skin as white as milk, and most importantly, her well-developed figure was perfectly showcased in the tight-fitting school swimsuit.

　　The girl’s well-developed breasts filled out the area on the front of her school swimsuit where the name Hayasaka was written. On the other hand, Kaguya Shinomiya’s breasts were also reasonably developed and could fill out the area of ​​her school swimsuit to some extent, but there was a significant difference compared to Ai Hayasaka.

　　Speaking of which, we must mention Sakuya, who was walking behind the two. The silver-haired head maid was wearing a blue and white bikini. Her straight and slender legs were a major highlight, and her slender waist and fair skin were equally impressive. However, in terms of her bust, she could probably only be compared to Kaguya Shinomiya, who was a high school girl…

　　”Whoosh!” A throwing knife grazed my hair. If I hadn’t dodged in time, a small silver throwing knife would have been stuck in my forehead. “Sakuya, this is dangerous.”

　　”Sorry, Master, my hand slipped. I sensed something malicious on your end, but it flew towards you instead.” Sakuya’s red eyes flashed with a cold light, as if she was unwilling to accept that her attack had missed and wanted to try again.

　　”Ahem, I think it’s just your imagination, Sakuya. There’s no one around me, so how could I possibly have malicious intent?” The silver-haired head maid’s words were full of sarcasm, and perhaps my gaze was too obvious, giving away my thoughts.

　　”Is that so? There might be something dirty inside. For your safety, Master, I’ll use these silver knives to ensure your safety.” Sakuya Izayoi raised the four fingers of her right hand and slashed from left to right with her thumb, and a row of throwing knives appeared in the silver-haired beauty’s fair hand.

　　”This is not…” However, before I could finish speaking, a throwing knife had already flown out of Sakuya’s slender hand, and its target was still my forehead.

　　Faced with the incoming throwing knife, I immediately dodged. Just as I dodged the first knife, the second one came right after me. I had no choice but to dodge continuously, quickly dodging between the sun lounger and the small white round table.

　　The two girls standing to the side, Hayasaka Ai and Shinomiya Kaguya, blinked. They hadn’t expected Izayoi Sakuya to actually make a move, and judging from the sound of the throwing knife cutting through the air and how it pierced the floor and walls, it was probably genuine.

　　As for the person who could still dodge and weave despite the speed of the flying knives, the two girls were not surprised at all. Wasn’t it normal for the other party to have such skills? The continuous defeats made the girls realize how abnormal the other party was.

　　Only after all the throwing knives in her hand had been thrown did Izayoi Sakuya stop attacking. The silver-haired head maid casually confirmed, “It seems there really isn’t any. I was just overthinking it, Master. Please forgive me.”

　　Having witnessed the whole thing, Hayasaka Ai and Shinomiya Kaguya once again clearly placed Izayoi Sakuya on their list of people they shouldn’t mess with; they had no confidence in dodging that flying knife.

　　”It’s alright, this is Sakuya’s way of showing responsibility.” I walked up to Sakuya and the others as if nothing had happened, as if I wasn’t the one who had just been attacked by the flying knife.

　　”Of course, the safety of our master is our primary concern.” And Izayoi Sakuya did not act like someone who would launch a throwing knife attack on her master.

　　Kaguya Shinomiya and Ai Hayasaka exchanged a glance; indeed, there was a reason why these two could become master and servant.

　　”Then our competition can begin.” After a friendly exchange with Sakuya, I turned to the two girls and said.

　　”Ah… um, the young lady will be competing against you first, so we need to do some warm-up exercises.” Hearing this, Hayasaka Ai finally snapped out of her reverie about the “interaction” between the master and servant; they still had a competition to do today.

　　They were going to do some warm-up exercises, and I naturally had no reason to refuse, since the first person I was going to compete against was Kaguya Shinomiya, so the black-haired girl did her warm-up exercises first.

　　Wearing her school swimsuit, Kaguya Shinomiya twisted her waist and raised her hands, her slender arms clasped together, revealing her smooth armpits. I wanted to go up to her and lick her from her armpits all the way to her pale fingertips.

　　After stretching her arms for two minutes, Kaguya Shinomiya switched to bending over and stretching. My gaze followed the girl’s arms down, slowly moving from her thighs to her rounded knees, then to her slender calves and her delicate lotus feet resting on the pool floor.

　　The girl’s fair and delicate feet were even whiter than the white porcelain floor. Her cute toes were tucked together slightly to prevent slipping. As Kaguya Shinomiya bent down, I could also see a bit of the back of her neck.

　　It’s a pity that Kaguya Shinomiya wasn’t standing with her back to me, otherwise, just imagining the beautiful sight of the girl in her dark blue school swimsuit bending over would be incredibly exciting.

　　Kaguya Shinomiya warmed up for about ten minutes, and I also enjoyed the show for a full ten minutes, though my view was quite discreet, since Ai Hayasaka was standing not far away.

　　”OK, sorry to have kept you waiting.” Kaguya Shinomiya, having finished her warm-up, came up to me. On her way over, the girl even put on a swimming cap and goggles, showing she was fully prepared.

　　I shook my head to indicate that I was fine. In fact, I was more than happy that Kaguya Shinomiya would do more warm-up exercises so that I could admire the girl’s beautiful figure a little longer.

　　Now that Kaguya Shinomiya is ready, the competition can begin. The first event the girl will compete against me in is freestyle. Hayasaka Ai will still be the referee, while Sakuya will stand on the side with a white towel, waiting for me to come out of the water so she can wipe my body.

　　”Ready…” Hayasaka Ai gave the order from the left side of the pool.

　　Standing on the starting platform, Kaguya Shinomiya stood upright, her jade-like feet spread apart to the same width as her thighs, her small toes gripping the front edge of the platform to prevent slipping, her rounded knees bent forward, her breasts close to her fair thighs, and her round, pert buttocks, encased in a dark blue school swimsuit, raised high.

　　Kaguya Shinomiya stretched her arms out naturally, gripping the front edge of the starting platform with both hands. Looking at the water below, she felt calm and focused on listening for Ai Hayasaka’s starting signal.

　　”Let’s go.” Upon hearing Hayasaka Ai’s departure signal, Shinomiya Kaguya bent her elbows and pulled them upwards, leaning her upper body forward close to her thighs, shifting her center of gravity forward rapidly, and bending her knees further to about 90 degrees.

　　With her hands released, Kaguya Shinomiya slightly raised her head, quickly swung her arms forward, and forcefully extended her legs, rapidly unfolding her body. Her snow-white, smooth legs came together, and her arms were also fully extended and brought together, with her head slightly lowered and tucked between her arms.

　　Kaguya Shinomiya enters the water with a graceful and elegant posture, using the speed gained from the jump to glide forward in the water. The girl’s legs are naturally together, her fair feet are slightly rotated inward, and her fair thighs exert force to drive her calves and feet to slap the water up and down.

　　The girl’s slender white arms made a forward paddling motion. When her arms reached her chest, Kaguya Shinomiya turned her head to the corresponding side to exhale. When her arms came out of the water, her cherry-colored mouth opened to inhale.

　　I saw Kaguya Shinomiya’s graceful entry into the water and her swimming movements clearly. As for why, it’s because I’m still standing on the starting platform and haven’t started yet. Only three seconds have passed since the girl entered the water, so I can wait another two seconds.

　　Hayasaka Ai, who was standing on the left side of the pool, did not show any strange expression because I had done something similar before during a track and field competition. After all, men do have certain advantages in these events, so giving way is not a problem. Most importantly, this is not a formal competition.

　　I guessed that Hayasaka Ai and the others would love for me to let them start just before the finish line. That wouldn’t have been impossible, but it might have completely shattered their confidence in winning. So, I jumped into the water to catch up with Shinomiya Kaguya five seconds after she started.

　　Ripples appeared in the water behind her, the ripples gradually increasing in size and rapidly approaching. Kaguya Shinomiya knew that her opponent had already started and was approaching at an extremely fast speed. Kaguya Shinomiya took a breath and continued to maintain her rhythm. The competition was the 100-meter freestyle, and now was not the time to sprint. Sprinting too early would make it difficult for her to maintain her pace in the second half.

　　Kaguya Shinomiya continued swimming forward at her own pace, and I didn’t rush to overtake her. I swam about a body length behind her. The reason was that this position was closest to the girl’s swaying feet.

　　My vision was unaffected by the water, and I could clearly see Kaguya Shinomiya’s beautiful white feet swaying in the azure water. The girl’s slender legs were also swaying, a different kind of beauty from her everyday walking, yet equally captivating.

　　This continued until Kaguya Shinomiya swam 50 meters. After pushing off the wall and turning, the girl began to accelerate, and I also accelerated in one go after pushing off the wall, cutting through the water like an arrow and overtaking Kaguya Shinomiya at an extremely fast speed.

　　Kaguya Shinomiya knew that now was not the time to sprint; she should only sprint in the last 25 meters or so. However, seeing that her opponent was gradually pulling away from her, and knowing that she would miss her chance if she didn’t catch up, Kaguya had no choice but to sprint ahead of time.

　　The girl’s hands moved forward at an even faster alternating speed, and her legs swung faster as well. Her swimming speed had obviously improved, but she did not close the gap with her opponent at all; on the contrary, the gap seemed to widen further.

　　After swimming 90 meters, Kaguya Shinomiya had exhausted all her strength to sprint, while her opponent had already hit the wall and reached the finish line. Only after hitting the wall and reaching the finish line did Kaguya Shinomiya emerge from the pool.

　　Glistening water droplets slid down Kaguya Shinomiya’s fair skin. The girl took off her swim cap and goggles, surprisingly not feeling much disappointment, but rather a sense of “I knew it.” The black-haired girl shook her head to shake this demoralizing thought out of her mind.

　　”Young lady.” Hayasaka Ai stepped forward with a white dry towel. The blonde girl was considering whether to wipe the young lady like the silver-haired head maid next to her, but before Hayasaka Ai could make a decision, Shinomiya Kaguya had already reached out her hand.

　　Hayasaka Ai had no choice but to hand the dry towel directly to Shinomiya Kaguya. The girl took the towel and, slightly out of breath, wiped her face and neck. “Hayasaka, don’t feel pressured later, just do your best.”

　　”Yes, I know, Miss.” There was some pressure, after all, the opponent’s strength was as formidable as ever. But more than that, there was the motivation to try. Worrying or being afraid was useless, so it was better to take a gamble.

　　However, just as Hayasaka Ai inadvertently turned her gaze to her opponent, her expression froze. The bulge in someone’s lower body became even more obvious. In fact, she had already noticed that someone’s bulge seemed a bit exaggerated.

　　Generally speaking, even if you wear tight swim trunks, it won’t be that obvious. Who knew it would be like this? Hayasaka Ai almost wanted to stop today’s competition. However, among the three people present, apart from her, the other two did not show any abnormality.

　　One was the other party’s maid, who was probably used to it and didn’t react. The other was her own young lady, who, although she had recently escaped the level of knowledge related to the devastating situation, was at most at the preliminary stage. In some ways, her level of sexual knowledge was about the same as that of a lower elementary school student.

　　What could a primary school student in the lower grades think when seeing that bulging lower body? So it was to be expected that Kaguya Shinomiya would not react. But wouldn’t that mean she was the only one with an unusual reaction?

　　In the end, Hayasaka Ai chose to remain silent, looking away as if she hadn’t seen anything. However, after the competition, she temporarily forgot about it and inadvertently noticed the more obvious bulge after it became soaked.

　　Hayasaka Ai quickly looked away, shaking her head to banish the image from her mind. Honestly, didn’t that guy feel embarrassed? Why didn’t he use a towel to cover himself? He made her see that.

　　I had no idea that the girl had secretly taken the blame for me. If I had known what Hayasaka Ai was thinking, I would have walked up to the girl, patted her on the shoulder, and said: “It’s natural, it’s not my fault.”

　　”Hayasaka, what’s wrong?” Kaguya Shinomiya asked, puzzled, when she saw Hayasaka Ai suddenly shake her head.

　　”It’s nothing, Miss. I was just wondering if we should do some warm-up exercises.” Of course, Hayasaka Ai couldn’t tell Shinomiya Kaguya what she had just been thinking, even if the other party heard it, she would probably only be confused and impressed.

　　”Do it, or you’ll get cramps later.”

　　”Yes, then I’ll go do some warm-up exercises first.”

　　After saying that, Hayasaka Ai walked to the side and started doing basic warm-up exercises. Shinomiya Kaguya tilted her head and blinked her red eyes twice. Had she just overlooked something?

　　Hayasaka Ai started her warm-up exercises, which took about fifteen minutes. Compared to Shinomiya Kaguya, Hayasaka Ai had a larger bust. Her well-developed breasts attracted a lot of attention during her warm-up exercises, even though it was difficult for them to jiggle under her school swimsuit unless she made some big movements.

　　For example, when Hayasaka Ai jumped off the starting platform, I saw the blonde girl’s chest tremble slightly. Although the amplitude was very small, it did not escape my eyes at all, and I took in Hayasaka Ai’s slight breast sway.

　　Like Kaguya Shinomiya, I gave Ai Hayasaka five seconds to start before diving into the water. Ai Hayasaka’s swimming speed was relatively slower than Kaguya Shinomiya’s, probably because of the greater resistance in front of her chest.

　　Of course, this is just a joke. Hayasaka Ai’s breasts are not large enough to have such an impact; they are just well-developed. They are not the kind of full, beautiful breasts that mature women have. It would take a few more years for them to develop into something with greater resistance.

　　Just like Kaguya Shinomiya, Hayasaka Ai lost the final competition. However, the two losses at the beginning did not stop the girls from continuing to advance the competition today, and the water events came one after another.

　　At the end of the day, I felt like I had spent the whole day playing in the water with the girls. I can only say that it was really good that I proposed to beat myself as a condition, as I was able to appreciate the different styles of the beautiful girls, such as archery uniforms, track and field uniforms, and school swimsuits.

　　”Master, your smile is creepy,” the silver-haired head maid, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, said to me.

　　”Really?” I touched my face, and perhaps because I had just thought about the different allure of Hayasaka Ai and Shinomiya Kaguya’s outfits, I couldn’t help but laugh from the bottom of my heart.

　　”No, it was my fault.” Izayoi Sakuya paused, then made a sudden turn of events, “Master has always been this perverted.”

　　“Since you say so, Sakuya, then I have to do something to match your words.” I placed my hand directly on Sakuya’s maid dress. She had changed into a knee-length maid dress because she was going to drive, and my hand could easily lift the hem of the dress by moving it down a little.

　　”That will only make you seem hopeless, Master.” Neither the master nor the servant were ordinary people, so Izayoi Sakuya wasn’t worried about any problems and continued her sarcastic attack on her master.

　　”It’s alright, as long as you don’t mind, Sakuya.” My hand gently stroked Sakuya’s maid dress, my fingers lightly flicking it, feeling the elasticity of the silver-haired beauty’s thighs.

　　”Which eye of yours saw that I don’t despise you, you perverted master?” Despite saying that, Izayoi Sakuya did not slap my hand off her thigh.

　　”We can’t judge things by appearances alone. I think we need to explore further to find out the truth.” I was unmoved by Sakuya’s words and solemnly prepared to use my hand to explore under the silver-haired maid’s skirt.

　　Just then, my phone rang, and I had to stop what I was doing. I glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was the female director of the medical institution calling. At first, I thought it was about Asuna, but it turned out to be something else entirely.

　　“I understand. Since they’re already here, I can go there now without waiting until tomorrow.” After hanging up the phone, I turned to Sakuya Izayoi and said, “Let’s go to the medical facility instead, Sakuya. It seems we’ll have to postpone the investigation.”

　　Sakuya glanced at me with her red eyes and then changed course to head to a medical institution under my control.

　　”Excuse me, please wait a moment. The director will be back soon.” The female director of the medical institution, Natsuki Oharu, put down the phone and said to the couple sitting on the other side.

　　”It’s alright.” The red-haired man sitting on the left raised his hand to his mouth, and judging from the movement of his fingers, he seemed to want to take the cigarette away, but when it reached his mouth, he remembered that this was a hospital and he did not smoke.

　　”Honey, don’t worry too much.” Sitting to the right was a beautiful married woman with long brown hair. Her long hair was tied into a long ponytail with a large blue ribbon, and there were a few strands of hair sticking up on her head. She had brown eyes, thin lips, and a gentle temperament.

　　Akio Furukawa wanted to show off, but thinking of his daughter’s situation, he found it difficult to do so. However, as the head of the family, he couldn’t show it even if he didn’t want to. So he turned to his wife and said, “Sanae, you’re the one with your brows furrowed.”

　　”Yes, I know, but I really can’t control myself. It’s such a beautiful thing, why do I have to make such a sad choice?” Sanae Furukawa’s fingers clenched tightly together, her slender fingers turning white from the pressure.

　　Upon hearing this, Guhe Qiusheng couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. If he had a cigarette in his mouth, he would definitely have taken a deep drag to ease his frustration. Just as his wife had said, their daughter was pregnant and their granddaughter was about to be born. This should have been a wonderful thing, but because they might have to choose between keeping only one of them, this happy occasion suddenly turned into sadness.

　　Seeing this, Natsuki Oharu poured a cup of coffee for the two of them. The couple’s daughter, Furukawa Nagisa, was not in a particularly rare condition. The woman was already frail and sickly, and after becoming pregnant, she needed to provide nutrition for the child, which would further increase the burden on her body. Whether the woman’s body could withstand the labor during childbirth was a key issue, and the young mother named Furukawa Nagisa’s physical condition was not optimistic.

　　”Thank you.” Sanae Furukawa thanked Osamu Natsuki, but she had no appetite for a drink and could only wait silently for the director, who was also her friend, to arrive.

　　After waiting for about twenty minutes, there was a knock on the door. Since the female dean, Natsuki Oharu, still had things to deal with, she had left her office not long ago. So, after hearing the knock, the Furukawa couple came to the door to open it, as a way of showing politeness and respect.

　　”I’m sorry to have kept you waiting.” As soon as the door opened, I saw the Furukawa couple. Of course, my main attention was on Mrs. Furukawa, Sanae Furukawa. The sad Mrs. Furukawa had a lot of delicate qualities, and a desire to ravage her arose spontaneously, but I quickly suppressed it.

　　”No, please don’t mind it, that…” The man with short red hair, Sanae Furukawa’s husband, waved his hand. He seemed to be a straightforward and easygoing person.

　　”My name is Ken, Mr. Furukawa.” He had met Furukawa Sanae many times before, but this was the first time he had met Furukawa Akio.

　　”Ah, hello, Director Jian.” Just as he finished speaking, his wife bumped into him, and he realized that the couple was blocking the doorway. “Sorry, sorry, Director Jian, please come in.”

　　The Furukawa couple quickly made way for me. I nodded and walked into the office. I didn’t see the female director, Natsuki Oharu. She must have been busy with other matters, since the medical institution needed her to handle many things.

　　I went straight to my office chair and sat down. I picked up the documents on the table, which were about Nagisa Furukawa’s health condition. The general situation was similar to what I had predicted. Nagisa Furukawa was physically weak, and it would be difficult for her to give birth safely. She would have to take certain risks.

　　”You should already know something about Furukawa Nagisa,” I said to the Furukawa couple as I looked through their files.

　　”Yes, the attending physician and Director Natsuki have both told us.” It was Akio Furukawa who answered me. As the head of the family, he was clearly the pillar of support at times like this.

　　”Since that’s the case, then I won’t say any more. If Furukawa Nagisa needs to give birth to the child in her womb, she will risk a 50% chance of losing her life. This is the best guarantee our hospital can provide. As her parents, do you know what she thinks about this?”

　　I put down the documents in my hand. Given the medical level of the medical institution, it was indeed possible to raise the safety of Furukawa Nagisa to a level of 50%, which was already very good. You should know that even if other top obstetrics and gynecology hospitals came, they could at most guarantee this probability to 30%, or even only 20%.

　　“Nagisa is determined to give birth to the child no matter what.” No one knows a daughter better than her mother. Sanae Furukawa understands her daughter’s feelings very well. She would have made the same choice if she were in her daughter’s shoes, but sometimes understanding and acceptance are two different things.

　　Akio Furukawa remained silent. Knowing his daughter well, he knew his wife was right; this was the choice his daughter would make.

　　”It seems you all understand your daughter’s thoughts.” I opened the drawer, took out one of the documents, and placed it on the table. “In that case, to be honest, your daughter, Nagisa Furukawa, signed the consent form a couple of days ago.”

　　“Is that so?” Sanae Furukawa sighed, while Akio Furukawa picked up the consent form, glanced at it, and then gave a wry smile. “As expected of our daughter.”

　　”In any case, we will prioritize respecting the patient’s wishes. I thought we would need to communicate with you, but it seems that we don’t need to now. By the way, where is Nagisa Furukawa’s husband? We also need to inform him about this.”

　　“Okazaki, he’s in the hospital with his daughter. I’ll call him over.” With that, Akio Furukawa stood up.

　　”Thank you for your trouble.” After watching Akio Furukawa leave the office and confirming his departure through the probe, I turned my attention to Sanae Furukawa.

　　Today, the beautiful wife with long brown hair in a single ponytail wears a light orange knitted long-sleeved sweater with a white long skirt. The worried look on her face makes people feel either pity or a little bit of want to ravage her, depending on the angle.

　　”I’m sorry, Mrs. Furukawa, this is all our medical institution can do.” A 50% probability is a rather delicate one. To put it nicely, it’s a neutral one, and to put it bluntly, it leaves one feeling uncertain. This is why the Furukawa couple were worried. When it comes to precious lives, they naturally want to ensure the safety of the person as much as possible.

　　“No, Mr. Ken, you don’t need to apologize.” Sanae Furukawa shook her head, her ahoge (a stray hair on her head) swaying slightly. “If it weren’t for your medical institution’s intervention, Nagisa’s life would have been even more insecure. I should be thanking you.”

　　Sanae Furukawa already had a thorough understanding of the medical institution’s standards. Whether it was the displayed cases, what she heard and saw in the institution, or her conversations with the doctors, her family knew that the institution’s standards were extremely high, arguably world-class, and covered all aspects of the field.

　　Normally, it would be virtually impossible for Xiaozhu to be admitted to such a top-tier medical institution. At most, she could only find a city-level hospital or a relatively well-known hospital. It was only because she was fortunate enough to meet the director of this medical institution, the young man in front of her, that Xiaozhu had the opportunity to be admitted.

　　”No need for formalities. Mrs. Furukawa and you have already said a lot. It’s only right for friends to help each other.” The moment I saw Mrs. Furukawa, I knew I was going to be her friend. That was the premise, and my subsequent help was only natural.

　　”And Mrs. Furukawa has been giving me free meals as long as I buy bread from your shop.” Now, I buy bread made by Sanae Furukawa in most places. Although Sanae’s bread has improved with my guidance, those slight improvements do not affect its reverse-engineered Ex-grade quality at all.

　　“We have to give something tangible in return. Compared to what you’ve done for us, Mr. Ken, this is just a small token of our gratitude.” As she spoke, Sanae Furukawa seemed to remember something, and a look of hesitation crossed her face.

　　”Is there something you want to say, Mrs. Furukawa?” Seeing Sanae Furukawa’s hesitant expression, I knew that my previous prompting might have been successful.

　　“I just remembered something.” Sanae Furukawa hesitated because it wouldn’t be good to trouble the other party again, but thinking of her daughter’s situation, the beautiful wife had no choice but to brazenly continue, “When Mr. Ken came to my shop before, he mentioned something. He said that if she wanted her daughter and the child in her womb to live together, she could come to you or something.”

　　”So that’s what it is.” I nodded as if I suddenly realized. “Actually, I had been planning to talk to you about this since then. Now that you’ve brought it up, Mrs. Furukawa, let’s talk about it.”

　　”Mr. Ken, do you really have a way to save my daughter and the baby in her womb?!” Sanae Furukawa asked me nervously, her delicate hands clasped to her chest.

　　”I do have a way to greatly increase the survival rate of your daughter and child, Mrs. Furukawa. I’m not sure if it’s 100%, but I’m at least 99% confident I can do it.” The beautiful wife pressed her hands to her chest, making her already full breasts even more prominent.

　　”What method?” Upon hearing this, Sanae Furukawa leaned forward, her ample breasts almost pressing against the desk.

　　”Mrs. Furukawa should be able to guess that this isn’t a common medical procedure, otherwise female doctors in medical institutions would definitely use it.” I pressed my brow. “Madam, aren’t you tempting me?” I took a deep breath to suppress the desire aroused by my beautiful wife.

　　”Is there… any other risk?” Seeing the other party’s reaction, Sanae Furukawa’s heart, which had just been filled with anticipation, skipped a beat again. Things were definitely not simple, which was normal. It was impossible for something that even top-notch medical technology could not do without a reason.

　　”As for the risks, it’s more accurate to say that the conditions for achieving them are quite demanding.” I shook my head. To be honest, this method is quite safe, as long as I can control myself. “Mrs. Furukawa, you will have to put in a lot of effort, but it’s not dangerous.”

　　”I’m willing to do anything that can help Nagisa get through this difficult time,” Sanae Furukawa said, her red lips uttering words that left much to the imagination.

　　”Mrs. Furukawa, your statement is truly dangerous.” Although Sanae Furukawa’s words were exactly what I wanted to hear, the day when she actually does it is not today; it requires some groundwork and a buffer period.

　　”Maybe.” Realizing she had been a bit out of line, Sanae Furukawa straightened up. “But if there’s anything I can do, Mr. Ken, you don’t need to worry, I’ll do my best.”

　　”Alright, but I need to make some preparations beforehand. To avoid causing you any unnecessary trouble before I’m ready, I won’t go into the specifics of how I’ll do it.”

　　The reasons I didn’t tell Sanae Furukawa are twofold: first, to give her time to prepare mentally; and second, to create a sense of urgency, ideally only one or two days in advance, allowing my beautiful wife some time to prepare without giving her too much room to maneuver.

　　”Couldn’t you have told me beforehand? I’m afraid I won’t be prepared.” With her daughter’s life at stake, Sanae Furukawa couldn’t help but be worried.

　　”Don’t worry, Mrs. Furukawa, you won’t have to do much with this method. If you agree, just leave it to me.” Unless it’s Sanae Furukawa who has to take the initiative, I’ll generally have to put in more effort.

　　”Is that so?” Having said that, Sanae Furukawa didn’t press further. In any case, the beautiful wife felt a little more at ease. The other party probably wouldn’t lie to her. Why would the director of a top medical institution, a young and promising man, lie to a woman like her? Moreover, based on the time they’d known each other, the other party didn’t seem like a bad person.

　　”Well, by the way, this method involves some secrets, so I hope Mrs. Furukawa won’t reveal it.” I placed my hands on the table and said to Sanae Furukawa with a serious expression.

　　”I’ll keep this a secret.” It wasn’t an unreasonable request, so Sanae Furukawa agreed without much thought. However, it seemed that helping her daughter was indeed not easy, and she didn’t know how to thank the other party if she succeeded.

　　That concludes my conversation with Sanae Furukawa. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to chat with the beautiful mature woman a little longer, but Akio Furukawa returned with Tomoya Okazaki, which is why I ended my conversation with her.

　　I explained the situation to Tomoya Okazaki, and he looked equally unhappy. If he could accept this kind of thing optimistically, it would make me doubt the relationship between the couple.

　　“I understand the situation. Since it’s Nagisa’s decision…” Okazaki Tomoya opened his mouth, but in the end he couldn’t finish his sentence. It seems that Nagisa’s husband is more unable to accept this than the Furukawa couple.

　　”Well, that’s the general situation. Next, I’ll talk to Nagisa Furukawa again, and then things can be settled.” After saying that, I stood up and went with the Furukawa family to Nagisa Furukawa’s ward.
