Today's surgery appeared to be considerably more solemn than Chen Yu's usual operations. Besides himself as the lead surgeon, Daimon Michiko and Ayajichi Shoubu were present as assistants, with a ring of observing doctors. Even in the observation room above the operating theater, Shimura Maru, Professor Kube, and Yamamoto Hisae were all notably seated.
Professor Arima, who had previously scolded Chen Yu in the pre-operative conference, was also standing inside the observation room with a gloomy expression, arms crossed, clearly in a bad mood.
"Nerve reconstruction surgery, a new technique... It's talked up like it's something special, but who knows whether it's really effective," Professor Arima muttered under his breath as he watched Chen Yu preparing for the surgery in the operating room below.
