Women’s conversations revolved around men, and naturally, men’s conversations couldn’t stray far from women either.
While Tokairin Yūko was listening to Doctor Qingdai recount her experiences with Chen Yu, Inomata Naoki, on the other hand, was in the men’s bath asking Kube Rokuro about Tokairin Yūko.
“Is Tokairin usually very busy with work?
Seeing her this time, she seemed to be quite tired.” Inomata Naoki had naturally noticed Tokairin Yūko’s exhausted appearance and was now inquiring about it with concern from her colleague.
Upon hearing Inomata Naoki’s question, Kube Rokuro naturally replied, “Our work at UDI should be rather busy, right?
But recently, there’s been an especially high volume of work.
I heard from the director that it’s because the Ministry of Health and Welfare is planning to promote the UDI model nationwide, requesting us to compile our work experiences.” freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
“That means you have to summarize your work experiences on top of your regular duties?
That must be really tough!” Having returned to his hometown to tend to horses and sheep, Inomata Naoki, who had previously experienced the hardships of working while studying in Tokyo, could naturally sympathize with Kube Rokuro.
“That’s how UDI work is.
Although it’s tough, I find it very meaningful to think that our work allows the deceased to rest in peace and helps the living to better carry on,” said Kube Rokuro, no longer the person he used to be, with a dark character due to a fallout with his family.
After getting a girlfriend, with the encouragement and motivation from Doctor Qingdai, many of his perspectives changed.
Now he seemed much brighter and even found much more meaning in life.
Misumi Akihiko, who was beside them, couldn’t help but chime in after hearing Kube Rokuro’s words, “My sister often said forensic work exists for the future.
I didn’t quite understand what she meant before, but after experiencing quite a few things with you, I think my sister was right.
To give peace to the dead and consolation to the living, to move on from a sorrowful past, is indeed a very meaningful and great deed.”
“Forensic scientists are a type of doctor, and the work of doctors is great.” Inomata Naoki smiled, perhaps feeling more touched by Misumi Akihiko’s words: “Being able to do something for others to live better makes the job great and meaningful, whether you’re a forensic scientist or a doctor, it’s all the same.”
“Speaking of which, Rokuro, how did you manage to win over your girlfriend?
I remember Brother Yu told me that during university you had a gloomy personality and hardly interacted with girls.” Perhaps feeling that the topic had become too heavy, Inomata Naoki shifted the conversation to inquire about Kube Rokuro’s girlfriend: “How did such a beautiful woman like Doctor Qingdai end up with you?”
The topic also sparked Misumi Akihiko’s interest, who asked Kube Rokuro with enthusiasm, “Yeah, yeah, how did you get such a beautiful female doctor, Mr.
Kube?
Share some of your experience!
I’m still single right now!”
“There wasn’t any special technique!
We just happened to meet a couple of times at the hospital, felt a connection, and got to know each other.
She was hospitalized due to a gas explosion at home, and I often went to visit her… and we just ended up together,” Kube Rokuro replied, not revealing that Qingdai was a Transcendent or mentioning anything about her involvement with Chen Yu.
He had a clear understanding of what to say and what not to say.
Although Chen Yu had assessed him as someone without the potential to become a spellcaster, with his own effort in decoding, occasional teaching from Misumi Mikoto, and support and guidance from Qingdai, Kube Rokuro still managed to learn a few spells.
Now, he also stepped partly into the world of Transcendents.
If one considered the assistance of the Spellbook that Chen Yu had given him, Kube Rokuro could be considered to have the combat ability of an Official-level Superhuman.
“You’re really lucky!” Misumi Akihiko could only express his envy this way at the moment.
Qingdai was top-notch in appearance, figure, and temperament.
While Kube Rokuro was handsome, he was just average.
That such a pair ended up together was something Misumi Akihiko found extremely enviable and jealousy-inducing.
Finding himself the subject of Misumi Akihiko’s words, Kube Rokuro could only accept it sheepishly; indeed, having Qingdai’s favor was like a stroke of incredible luck for him.
Perhaps in some respects, Qingdai was a calculating woman with plenty of schemes, but undeniably, after getting together with Kube Rokuro, she devoted her attention to him, not only helping him prepare for the medical licensure examination but also earnestly helping him learn spells.
There couldn’t be a more suitable girlfriend than her.
However, thinking of his girlfriend, Kube Rokuro turned to Inomata Naoki and asked, “Brother Naoki, you’re living in Kumamoto now, doesn’t it bother you to travel to Tokyo every time to date Doctor Tokairin?”
“It’s not too bad.
I usually don’t have much going on.
There’s quite a bit to handle at the ranch, but my parents are still in good health, and our ranch isn’t very large.
After hiring a few workers, there’s really nothing urgent that I absolutely must deal with,” Inomata Naoki didn’t seem to mind the issue much, as he wasn’t lacking money or time, so commuting weekly from Kumamoto to Tokyo didn’t seem like a big deal to him.
Misumi Akihiko, on the other hand, found it quite troublesome and asked Inomata Naoki, “But doesn’t that still sound very inconvenient?
And maybe it’s fine now, but what about in the future if you want to get married?
If one is in Kumamoto and the other in Tokyo, do you plan to fly back and forth every week even after getting married?”
“If we were to get married, we would definitely live together.
Although I’ve given it some thought, I still need to ask Tokairin’s opinion.
Whether I move to Tokyo or she comes back to Kumamoto with me, both outcomes are acceptable,” replied Inomata Naoki, who didn’t find the idea of returning to Tokyo unacceptable.
Hearing Inomata Naoki’s response, Kube Rokuro also began to consider his own situation with Qingdai.
Although he and Qingdai were both living in Tokyo, there were many considerations if they planned to live together.
Misumi Akihiko, however, didn’t have the same worries as Inomata Naoki and Kube Rokuro.
As a single man, he was more focused on when he might find a girlfriend.
As for the rest, that would have to wait until he actually had a girlfriend.
The three of them chatted about other topics until they heard Tokairin Yūko and Misumi Mikoto calling them from the women’s bath to come for dinner.
Only then did they get out of the hot spring, dried off, dressed, and went to eat.
