The eight-month rotation process won't be completed quickly.
Judging by the time, Takagi should have already reported to Kyoto University Affiliated High School long ago.
Thinking about this, I wonder how that person is doing at Peking University.
The last time they met was in September, and a month has passed since then. Their last meeting was not long; in fact, it was quite short.
Has Takagi-kun contacted you again?
When they went back to their room to rest, Majima specifically asked Aki Tomoya about this.
In his mind, after Takagi went to Kyoto University Affiliated School, he should have complained to people he knew from time to time.
However, Majima was probably overthinking it; after Takagi returned this time, he disappeared without a trace.
Only he himself knows how his stay in Kyoto went.
They knew nothing about what happened to Takagi after he went back.
"The best news is that he's staying at the affiliated high school of Peking University and isn't contacting us. I don't want to hear him complaining to us anymore..."
Aki Tomoya chuckled softly.
Nothing happening is the best thing.
If Takagi doesn't contact him, it means he's doing alright at Kyoto University Affiliated School, and he'd rather Takagi not contact them at all.
Far away in Tokyo, all they could do at that moment was pray that Takagi would get used to Kyoto University Affiliated High School soon.
Kyoto is at least Takagi's hometown, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, he should be able to complete his medical training at Kyoto University Affiliated Hospital smoothly.
"That would be best, but I'm still a little worried, since Takagi-kun isn't the kind of person who will settle down easily."
Seemingly thinking of the most recent event—the reason Takagi left Tokyo—Majima wore a wry smile.
Noticing his expression, Aki Tomoya couldn't help but correct him, "What you said is ambiguous. Why is Takagi dishonest? He's a very upright person."
"But being too upright can also be dangerous, as it makes one prone to breaking."
Majima said in a worried tone.
He seemed worried that Takagi would encounter the same thing at Kyoto University Affiliated High School.
But it's best not to. Hopefully, their friend can smoothly complete their medical residency program.
After hearing Mashima's words, Aki Tomoya couldn't help but chuckle twice.
"You're cursing Takagi! If we ever meet again, I'm definitely going to tell on you!"
"Oh? So you're a wicked person after all, Aki-kun?"
With an expression as if he had misjudged Aki Tomoya, he turned his head and leaned against the pillow.
"However, I still firmly believe that good people will be rewarded, and bad people won't last long!"
"Suddenly you've become an idealist?"
As if to suggest that Aki Tomoya's ideas were impractical, Mashima thought for a moment and ultimately described him as an idealist.
Compared to the idea that good people are rewarded, it seems that Majima is more inclined to the idea that evil people live on for thousands of years.
Aki Tomoya, noticing this, looked at Majima with considerable surprise.
He stared at Mashima for a long time, his eyes seemingly deep in thought.
"Hey, hey, hey, why are you looking at me like that all of a sudden? I'm getting goosebumps all over!"
Majima said somewhat dejectedly.
Aki Tomoya's gaze just now made him feel a little uneasy.
He thought for a moment, wondering if he had said something wrong.
At this moment, Aki Tomoya couldn't help but laugh and said, "You say I'm mean-spirited, but I feel that you're quite dark inside, which is completely different from what you seem on the surface!"
As he said this, Aki Tomoya's expression still showed surprise.
He looked at him with a gaze that Majima found somewhat unbearable, as if he had discovered a new continent.
Therefore, Majima decided that it was best to ignore Aki Tomoya for the time being.
Majima didn't think it was because his heart was dark, because some things just are like that.
Good people don't live long, and disasters last for thousands of years.
So, if you had to choose what kind of person you wanted to be...
Majima felt he should have been a better kind of bad guy...
With this thought in mind, Majima subconsciously asked Aki Tomoya, "Aki, you should be a good person, right?"
"Why are you suddenly giving me the 'friend zone' card?"
Aki Tomoya stared speechlessly at Majima.
Aki Tomoya was a little conflicted after being friend-zoned by one of his best friends.
Aki Tomoya's reaction made Mashima burst out laughing.
As if he felt that he had just been humiliated because of this, he was in an unusually good mood.
In fact, it would be great if Aki Tomoya could have shown that same expression again at this moment.
For resident physicians, the night truly is their best companion.
They are needed when there is trouble, and even when there is no trouble, they must be on standby at any time and be mentally prepared to be called upon at any moment.
Most importantly, they can't go anywhere except for the medical area.
Aki Tomoya and Mashima Toki were classmates, and due to some kind of fate, they ended up working as trainees at the same hospital.
While Takagi gets into trouble, the friendship between the three main characters from the East Coast, Tomoya and Majima, must have become even stronger.
After all, in a sense, they'll be sleeping in the same place for two years.
Yes, this seems to be similar to choosing to live on campus at school, with classmates and roommates.
"I just want to ask you if you're a good person?"
As Mashima spoke, he had already decided to go to sleep and didn't expect Aki Tomo to give him any answer.
Meanwhile, Aki Tomoya was pondering Majima's words.
After thinking for about half a minute, Aki Tomoya replied to Majima in a somewhat meaningful tone: "If I were Takagi, and we switched places, I probably wouldn't have stepped forward."
For him, the idea of leaving the University of Tokyo Affiliated Hospital as a medical trainee in order to become a good person was something he decided to pass up.
He had to admit that even with Professor Yano backing him up, as a medical resident, he didn't have that kind of confidence.
Or to put it another way, Takagi didn't think as much as he did, and Aki Tomoya had to consider more things than Takagi did.
In fact, being the good guy that Takagi is in is not so easy.
So, if he were in that position and switched places with Takagi, his choices would probably be different.
Therefore, Aki Tomoya does not think he should be a good person.
But he probably isn't a bad person.
If you can't be a good person, it's best not to be a bad one either.
Just do what you can.
"You scared me with that answer!"
"Don't worry about it, get some rest. You might get woken up in the middle of the night!"
Chapter 461 He Must Be Very Lonely (1/3)
With half of October gone, being on duty in the ICU isn't exactly boring.
Because there are many important patients in the ICU, we cannot relax and must remain focused.
After their rotation in the major blood vessels, Majima and Nishikino's supervising doctors changed again when they moved to the ICU, while Aki Tomoya's supervising doctor remained Yoshida Aoba.
Regarding the matter of mentoring doctors, Aki Tomoya didn't have many thoughts on it.
Whether it's Yoshida Aoba or anyone else, his condition gradually stabilized at the Department of Cardiac Surgery, Kanto General Hospital.
Moreover, he had a fairly good relationship with Yoshida Aoba.
Yoshida Aoba treated him quite well, and at the same time, Sasaki Ichiru seemed to be considering what would happen after the three of them finished their rotation as medical trainees.
As a medical trainee, Aki Tomoya naturally had no right to know what he was thinking.
However, it seems that it wouldn't be so bad if Yoshida Aoba continued to serve as his mentor.
Rather, if Yoshida Aoba could continue to serve as his mentor after his rotation, he would have more opportunities to join the surgical team.
She discovered that Yoshida Aoba was responsible for quite a few surgeries.
He made the best use of his abilities. Even though his greatest strength lay in academic matters, his surgical skills were only inferior to those of Sasaki Ichiru.
Moreover, this is no longer a university hospital. Yoshida Aoba, who used to be in charge of basic research at the university hospital, has gradually shifted his focus since coming to the private hospital.
However, as his mentor, Yoshida Aoba did not provide any assistance to Aki Tomoya during his rotations in the ICU.
