Original subtitles

All right...

I've made up my mind.

Large dumplings please and make it quick.

- I'm starving to death! - Just a moment.

Large order of dumplings, on the double!

She says she's starving to death.

That girl's always starving.

Hamburger or dumplings, it was a tough choice, but this definitely was the right decision.

- Here you go. - Thank you.

My dumplings.

Delicious!

- So good! - Give me back my dumplings!

I walked all the way here from Fifth Avenue just to eat this!

Be quiet!

You're Japanese, aren't you?

If you're a true Japanese woman, show respect to your elder!

Excuse me? Give it back, you dumpling thief!

You ought to be ashamed! You glutton, you!

Who's the glutton here!

Reserved Today for Totei University Hospital Board of Trustees

What is the meaning of this?

To have something like this happen to Totei U, the national flagship hospital of Japan.

Director, you need to explain.

This year, we're unranked at No. 38.

I take this responsibility... very seriously.

Naturally I, Hiruma, as the Deputy Director...

Both of you should take responsibility and resign!

Please wait! First, an investigation...we'll conduct an investigation.

Under the stern eyes of a third party.

- We're tired of hearing those words. - You've got to resign. Resign!

I apologize deeply.

Well, as a result of the internal power struggle between the East and West

plus the never-ending factional strife,

and is the reason for...Totei University's uh...diminishing brand power...

However...!

However, we will unite and strive to redeem ourselves!

- Director... Director. - Huh?

Why don't we both stop struggling in vain

and resign gracefully like a man?

Deputy Director!

Look, we don't even get any meat, you know.

This has never happened before when we were invited by the Board of Trustees, right?

More importantly, we should both step down gracefully

and make way for the younger generation.

That is what I think.

Murphy's sign.

Call an ambulance.

Hurry Up!

- How far are you? - 30 weeks...

- Does this hurt here? - It's no good.

The road's closed because there's shooting incident.

Acute cholangitis.

She needs emergency surgery. Otherwise,

both mother and baby will be in danger.

- Take her to our hospital! It's right down the street. - Okay.

Let's carry her.

This way!

Operating room is this way!

Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!

Is my mom going to die?

Don't worry. I won't let them die.

Really?

I never fail.

Making an incision for emergency cholecystectomy.

No. 10 blade.

The infected gallbladder wall is stuck to the uterus.

Watch out.

The baby's head is right over there.

Mobilizing the uterus off the gallbladder. Metzen.

Too slow! Drag it here and open wider.

Sorry. Got it.

- She's amazing! - And fast!

She's really trying to save the unborn baby.

Who are you?

- Just a surgeon passing by. - What?

- 3-0 nylon. - Here.

Amazing!

All right.

You did great, and your mom too.

Good luck.

Can't take it anymore...

I'm starving.

Dumplings~!

Dumpling thief...

I won't take it.

My treat! Eat as much as you want.

That surgery was simply brilliant.

Americans can't perform delicate surgeries like that, you know.

You, indeed, are truly the epitome of a Japanese woman!

Here, drink up, drink up.

Oba-chan, you said "our hospital." Are you a nurse there?

What?! Don't tell me you're a doctor!

- Do I look like a doctor? - Not at all.

Cleaning lady.

- I see. - Here you go.

In American hospitals, it's all about money when it comes to treatment and surgeries.

If you don't have money, you can't even get decent treatment.

They're telling poor folks to die.

Although they're better than

university hospitals in Japan where people drag each other down and play musical chair

for silly things like professor elections.

Oba-chan, you're pretty knowledgeable.

In Japan too... I worked as a cleaning lady at a hospital.

You know, that Japanese drama...

That one called "The Cleaning Lady Saw It," was it?

Huh? "The Housekeeper Saw It."

Oh, that's right.

University hospitals in Japan are rotten to the core.

To hell with professors making the rounds.

What's with the "Gyoi." Damn blind followers.

If you have time to think about things like that, think about the patients, I say!

You're very perceptive, Oba-chan!

Looks like we're kindred spirits! Let's drink, let's drink.

Oh, no. We're out.

I swear, where on earth did Michiko go, huh?

Ben Casey.

I wonder if she's still in Kanazawa eating sushi or something...

Hello. Michiko? Where are you now?

New York.

New York?

Yesterday, this cleaning lady I met

treated me to dumplings and a massage!

Oh dear... If you're that pressed for money,

you should hurry back home and work.

You were requested by name by a credible source

who would love to welcome you to their hospital and are willing to pay as much as you want.

If you don't come back right away, you're fired!

Okay, okay.

Michiko never fails!

This is the story of a lone wolf woman doctor.

Today, our entire management team will resign.

We're stepping down hoping for the revival of our beloved alma mater, Totei University.

Old soldiers will just fade away.

We shall retire, but

our Totei University shall live on forever.

- Hiruma-kun. - Yes?

Why are you sitting down all by yourself?

Oh...I'm terribly sorry.

It seems I missed my timing.

I'm sorry.

I, Hiruma Shigekatsu,

on the occasion of my departure from this hospital as a parting gift, if you will,

have invited a super doctor from abroad who is sure to become

the latest special feature of Totei University Hospital.

Minami-kun.

Deputy Director Hiruma, good day.

- Good to see you again. - Yes, sir.

Doctors, it's been a while.

Kitano...why is he here?

I don't think introductions are necessary, but...

well, let me reintroduce him...

Doctor Kitano is a graduate of Totei University

and a world authority on surgery, currently active in the United States.

He's a big name who's been highly recruited by hospitals throughout Japan

but to no avail to date.

Wonderful! Deputy Director Hiruma, bravo!

However,

since I'm leaving this hospital today...

What did you say? I wasn't told about that.

Oh...didn't I tell you?

I signed a contract with Deputy Director Hiruma.

Please bring the contract back to the drawing board.

No, wait. That would be impossible...

Right? That's impossible, isn't it...

All right.

In that case, we'll have the Director and others resign

and have Deputy Director Hiruma remain as you wish.

- Hiruma! - Yes, sir!

You double crossed us... You traitor!

It just turned out that way.

- Please calm down! - Ex-Director, please calm down.

Ex-Director, let's calm down a bit.

- Don't treat me like a fool! - Please calm down, Ex-Director.

You won't get away with this...

Please leave, Ex-Director.

Let go of me...

I'm deeply grateful for the compassionate decision of the Board of Trustees.

Totei University Hospital, banzai!

In the year 2016, the collapse of the Ivory Tower was showing no signs of slowing down. and

medical care, which engages in human life, was losing sight of its direction.

Good morning!

Guten Morgen.

The newly appointed Director Hiruma will now commence the Director's rounds.

Famous university hospitals exerted their effort to reinforce their brand power, and

on the other hand, highly skilled surgeons,

lured by big money, flowed abroad.

The world of medicine plunged further into a global era where the law of jungle prevailed.

Meanwhile, freelance doctors not affiliated with any organization -

that is, lone wolf doctors - emerged.

Stop pushing...hey. I said stop pushing. I mean it.

For example, this woman.

Averse to groups, averse to authority,

averse to constraints,

a medical specialist's license and her self-honed skill

are her only weapons.

What the heck is going on here!

Surgeon Daimon Michiko

Also known as

Doctor X.

You can count on me to restore the lost past glory of Totei University.

And hereafter,

let's wipe out the factions running rampant in this hospital,

uniting as one under me, and

furthermore, let's work to increase the brand power of Totei University.

- Gyoi! - Gyoi.

Thank you for the inspirational speech.

Gyoi!

Internal Medicine Department Chief Kikawada who came from Kanazawa.

As you can see, he's an easily discernible henchman.

Damn...I'm impressed!

Thanks.

Surgery Department Chief Saionji,

what is your opinion?

Gyoi.

As you can see, our department chief is rather theatrical.

He's a hard to discern henchman.

Oh, and for the Public Relations Department Chief...

this time, we got the branding pro of all pros

to join us in our endeavor.

This is Minami Ikuko-san.

Our Director has discerning eyes indeed!

It's said that hospitals represented by the super PR Officer Minami Ikuko

never fail to make the Top 10 ranking of hospitals nation-wide.

I look forward to working with you.

She's an enigmatic woman who has strong connections with big shots in politics and media.

Any doctor who's been crossed off by her

is sure to disappear from the hospital within a month.

- Director. - Yes?

- It seems the Deputy Director hasn't arrived yet. - What?

Late from the first day in office?

I wonder if she has the desire to do this.

Daimon Michiko.

- Demon! - She's that doctor!

She's quite a vixen...

Surely...she isn't the new deputy director, is she?!

No, no, no. Of course not.

Wah~. You scared me.

Hiruma Sensei, congratulations on your appointment as Director.

Thank you.

By the way, Daimon Sensei.

Thank you for always wearing such revealing clothes.

To what do we owe the honor of your visit today?

Because I was told to come, of course.

- What~? - Although this was the last place I wanted to come.

You guys!

You call this cleaning?

Look at all this dust that's still left.

Sorry.

Oba-chan! What are you doing here?

It's the dumpling lady...

Thanks for the treat in New York.

You're wearing super nice clothes today, what...

Hiruma Shigekatsu, long time no see.

Yeah, long time no see, Kubo Touko.

You've gotten even more evil looking.

Look who's talking.

Hurry up and introduce me to the medical staff.

Curry favor and interject the staff?

I'm the Deputy Director, Kubo Touko.

Kubo? That must mean...

Kubo Shigeru is my brother.

I came here as deputy director of this hospital under orders from my brother.

That's Daimon Michiko, who I hired.

"That"?

I'll make sure you pay back what you owe from New York.

Akira-san, what's going on?

It's just as you heard.

Hey, bring a chair for the Deputy Director.

Move it away further.

Here you go, Deputy Director. Please have a seat.

You won't sit down? Fine...

Deputy Director Kubo. Let me make one thing perfectly clear.

All the authority and responsibility at this Totei University Hospital

lies with me, the Director.

You're just the Deputy Director.

I won't allow you to do as you please any more.

- Isn't that right, gentlemen? - Gyoi!

Shut your mouth!

My brother was trying to rebuild this hospital in earnest, but...

For the sake of my brother who had to leave the hospital before reaching his goal,

I won't let you have your way.

You should stop trying to act so tough.

All this does is create another more bothersome faction...

She's not even a cleaning lady.

...gyoi.

Now then, before we formalize the contract,

allow me to confirm Daimon's terms of employment.

- "Help the professor with his research paper." - I will not do.

- "Chauffeur professors to and from golf course." - I will not do.

"Attend drinking parties."

I don't care about any of that!

All I want to do is save the patients from this rotten organization.

In order to do that, it's imperative that I get Daimon Michiko's help!

Then why did you lie that you were a cleaning lady?

I seriously want to give this hospital a total cleaning.

Daimon Sensei... in order to do that, I need your help.

Please help me! Please.

There's something shady about her.

It's true that Oba-chan's shady, but

Michiko, you're used to people like her, right?

I guess so.... But what I want to know is,

- why is this guy here? - That's what I wanted to ask too.

Pon! All right, all right...

Kaji Sensei's lonely since he lost his buddies.

That's right. I got to return to Totei University, but

Hara-kun's still in Kanazawa, and

it seems Surgery Department Chief Ebina got transferred somewhere...

Did Ebina Sensei do something?

He's probably one of those who got transferred because he didn't do anything.

- You're right. - Hurry up.

I wonder how they're both doing.

Hurry up!

Lady Luck forsakes all doctors who come in contact with you.

Ron! So sorry, Kaji Sensei.

Suu ankou yakuman!

Look, Demon! It's all your fault!

Why don't you go home?

No.

Say, Akira-san.

Just who is this shady deputy director?

Kubo Touko, graduate of Totei University. Taking advantage of her aggressive personality and

her position as ex-Director Kubo's sister,

she's a strong willed woman who climbed to reach the top as the first female chief of Totei U's Ob/Gyn Department.

Onii-chan, you can count on me to take revenge for you.

10 years ago, she waged a fierce battle with Professor Hiruma to further their career,

failed, and moved to the United States in disgust.

"Daimon Michiko"

"Special Skill Surgery"

"Hobby Surgery"?

It's expensive! It's expensive...

It's an expensive dress!

Special skill, background investigation.

- Hobby, background investigation. - Maybe

she's been targeting you from New York.

My treat!

Michiko, you'd better watch out.

There's no such thing as a free lunch, as the saying goes, right?

Ron!

Junchan sanshoku haneman by iipeikou.

We will now commence our weekly pre-op conference.

First case is a 28-year old male.

IT company CEO, Ichiki Jun-san.

Diagnosis is chordoma {i}(type of bone cancer){/i}.

Kitano Sensei, the attending surgeon, please.

The tumor is located on the base of the skull where spinal cord, brainstem,

arteries and nerves converge which makes its removal extremely difficult.

Furthermore, the cancer has already spread to the first cervical vertebrae, and

a cervical spine transplant will be necessary after the tumor is removed.

Can you really operate on such a troublesome tumor?

Leave it to me.

I don't mean to doubt the skill of the world-famous super doctor, but

if you fail, you won't get away with it.

As you know, it's an important surgery.

Let me do it.

Weren't you listening to our conversation?

Such an important surgery on which the restoration of Totei University's brand name is at stake,

- you expect us to let a part-timer... - I can do it.

Are you cutting me off?

I had the pleasure of observing your surgical skill in New York, but

you don't have the skill for this patient.

We'll use this for this case.

What's the surgical procedure?

I'm going to replace the patient's cervical spine that's been affected by tumor

with a titanium cervical spine made from a 3-D printout.

The area is where nerves converge,

which requires precise configuration to match the patient.

It's a perfect replication of the patient's cervical spine. The transplant surgery of

what I call "the one and only bone in the world."

If it succeeds, it will be Japan's first.

It will be one of the few rare cases even in the world.

Exactly.

Kitano-kun, you've certainly come a long ways.

Let's see...when I performed the heart surgery on the prime minister...

- How long ago was that? - 1989.

It was a bitterly cold winter...

You can tell us your tale from the Showa era next time.

- Back then... - The 3-D printed parts for the patient

have already been ordered from abroad.

Is there anything else you wish to say?

No...

A big surgery performed by a big name.

We'll be looking forward to it.

You're indeed the super doctor recruited by Director Hiruma.

Director, what about the flowers from Kawagoe Chemicals...

Kawagoe Chemicals...?

I say toilet's the only place for them, don't you think?

Yes, brackish flowers belong in the toilet.

Director.

President Ichiki is here.

President Ichiki. Welcome, welcome.

I'm glad to see you.

Come on in and have a seat here.

I'm very glad that you have come.

How have you been feeling lately?

May I ask what you're doing?

Oh, I'm transmitting this on social media.

Oh, transmitting...

President Ichiki, I heard you're also a graduate of Totei University.

What about it?

As fellow graduates of our beloved alma mater, let's join hands and

overcome the disease.

Kitano-kun, your surgeon,

is known as a super doctor.

I can vouch for his skills.

Please put your mind at ease and

leave everything to us.

All right.

You know that Totei University's fight song, "One and Only."

We decided to use that as the hospital song.

How about it? Before the surgery,

so that everyone can get cheered up...

Why don't we sing it together?

- Good idea. - "One and Only."

All right? Let's sing it together.

Rika-chan, start please.

Saionji-kun, you sure have a nice voice.

Not at all. Not nearly as nice as yours, Director.

Are these guys all right...

I'm bored!

Off to practice Totei's school song.

Totei U Hospital is finished.

The hospital will close after today.

Totei University is done for sure.

The idiotic three musketeers

Are all the doctors here graduates of Totei University?

I went to Cuba Cubanacan Medical College.

No wonder.

I thought you seemed a little different from the other doctors.

Huh?

I meant it as a compliment...

By any chance, are you the IT person scheduled for surgery soon?

The IT industry

is a meritocracy where your alma mater is totally meaningless.

But these doctors here...

They're all like educational background personified wearing doctor's gown, right?

That's right.

I'm having doubts about the surgery.

Say...

Why don't you let me operate on you?

Are you a good surgeon, Sensei?

Yeah. Extremely.

Do you have experience performing cervical spine surgery using 3D printed parts?

No, I don't.

What the heck.... You don't, huh?

What the heck...

Boring~.

Whereas the normal procedure is to use the patient's own bone,

I'll be using this 3D printed part...

The super doctor, Kitano-Sensei,

when he was a medical student at Totei University,

was a poor student who placed in the 190's among 200, I heard.

Any question?

Even after he joined the medical staff, the professors looked down on him

and wouldn't even let him perform surgeries.

And so he went to the United States to hone his skills.

...that's what I read in this book.

Yeah, there are students who study abroad like that.

That's because "nails that stick out get hammered down" in Japanese university hospitals.

- You're one of those too, aren't you, Micchan? - Yeah.

I guess so.

But don't you think he's trying too hard to look cool here?

He had his hair and make-up done.

- This part's fixed, isn't it? - Definitely.

- Isn't his face pale? - And it's kinda flat...

Japan's first cervical spine surgery using 3D printed parts

will be a success, I guarantee it.

And this is the patient who will be receiving that surgery.

Two big names.

If we can have you two exchange firm handshakes...

Go ahead.

Before we do that, I have an announcement as the patient.

- Announcement? - Why all of a sudden...

We will be broadcasting this surgery live,

from beginning to end, on our company's video streaming site.

It's a surgery open for public viewing via the internet.

It's an unprecedented open surgery, right?

Frankly, I don't trust this hospital.

Even though the brand name of Japanese universities

is inconsequential in the eyes of the world,

doctors here are still clinging to it.

Hey, hey...

Why did you think about opening the surgery for the public to view?

Because I want to make sure they don't fail.

The operating room is a closed room, and

the patient has no way of knowing what's going on in there.

In order to prevent the doctors from doing as they please,

I decided to take the measure of streaming it live on the internet.

Wait a minute, please. There's a problem with compliance.

Well... If my wish can't be granted,

I refuse to have the surgery.

Re...refuse?!

President Ichiki's wish...

we will be happy to accommodate it.

- Director... - It's okay, it's okay.

What do you think? If we can have you exchange a firm handshake

and perhaps have a picture or two taken...

Good, good. Okay, shake hands. Good.

Idiot...

Idiot~ Idiot~

Medicine is making advances everyday. It's making steady progress.

With things like robot surgery and cyber knife.

Pretty soon, there won't be anything for surgeons to do.

Oh my, this is delicious! So very delicious!

Special skill, cooking! Hobby, cooking!

I'm gonna go ahead and eat it all.

Oh! Oh, wait... I'm eating too...

- This is... - What's the matter?

It's President Ichiki's MRI we took this morning.

It's spread more than we thought.

The 3D printed cervical spine we ordered will be short by one part.

Just as I thought, it's spread to the second cervical vertebrae.

You'd be in trouble if you don't operate ASAP.

Hey, Kitano-kun. Kitano-kun!

Kitano-kun!

- Deputy Director... - Daimon Sensei.

Do you have a minute?

Today's surgery... make sure you stay out of it.

Huh? Why?

Because you're good. I'm telling you not to help.

I'll pay your wages for today, so go home now.

If that patient doesn't get surgery today, he'll die, you know.

So?

Whatever happens to a patient

is of no concern to a part-timer like you.

Why are you giving me that look?

I'm the one who hired you, you know.

Say "gyoi."

Say "gyoi"!

I'm not saying it.

Daimon Michiko, stop right there!

There's no way we can cancel it now! Don't be ridiculous!

Director, your blood pressure...

Oh, I'm sorry. Rika-chan, sorry.

The Director is absolutely right.

We already held a big press conference like that.

But the tumor is spreading very quickly and has spread to the second cervical vertebrae.

The length of the cervical spine we ordered can't cover it all.

In order to strive for perfection, please give me some time.

- Some time as in how much? - Two more weeks.

No! I can't wait!

Being that we held such a large scale press conference,

you have to do the surgery.

Kitano-kun, I don't hear your "gyoi."

- I can't. - What do you mean you can't...

To make that impossible possible

is the reason they call you super doctor, isn't it?

-Isn't that right? - Gyoi.

- I can't. - Kitano-kun.

You're the only one in this hospital who has experience with that surgery.

I'm begging you.

Kitano-kun...

The reputation of Totei University is at stake with the surgery you perform.

Come on. Please perform the surgery!

Come on!

I beg you.

This is why I don't like Japanese university hospitals.

I didn't come back here for the sake of preserving your reputation.

I am Kitano of the world!

I only perform 100 percent flawless surgery

in a perfectly prepared environment.

I refuse to do this surgery.

Director!

I can't breathe...

The surgeon's sure late...

Way late.

We're in trouble. The surgeon threw in the towel.

What!

The unprecedented open surgery will begin shortly.

The time has finally come.

Please wait a little longer.

Director.

Uh... About, uh...

the surgeon who will be performing today's surgery,

who, as you all know, is Kitano Sensei...

and we're all waiting for him...

The question of is he coming or not

has been going on for a while, and uh...

we, as the hospital...

It seems Director Hiruma is unable to explain, so

I, the deputy director Kubo Touko, will explain the situation.

Today's surgery will be can...

- It's a woman! - Woman doctor?

- Is she with Totei University? - Where's Doctor Kitano?

You're late.

You can't be serious...

Ah! It's Daimon Michiko again...

She's gonna do it...

Director!

- I can't breathe... - Director! Are you all right?

- I feel like... - You're all right.

...I'm hyperventilating.

We will now begin the removal of Ichiki Jun-san's cervical spine tumor via nasal and oral endoscopy,

along with the transplant of 3D printed parts.

- Endoscope. - Here ya go.

Suction.

- It's a woman doctor! - She's got some powerful eyes!

- She's, like, amazing. - She looks tough.

Okay.

Stop it. This surgery is open for public viewing. What's a part-timer doing!

I told you to stay out of this!

Be quiet.

First Assistant, hold on firmly to the endoscope.

I know.

Get out of my way.

You're in my way too.

- What happened to President Ichiki? - Did President Ichiki die?

The surgery's still in progress, right?

Insertion of nasal speculum complete. Scalpel.

Hey. This is different from Doctor Kitano's method.

That's not Kitano's method.

What?

Did she fail...?

That's why I told you to stop!

How can you mess up the surgery that holds the fate of Totei University!

By the way,

have you ever performed a surgery with 3D?

No. So?

- You've got to be kidding... - Suction.

- Uh~... - Hurry.

Bipolar.

What was that? She's never done it?

Daimon-kun, that's reckless! Pull out of there!

Stop it! Do you want to kill President Ichiki?!

Be quiet.

You'll fail that way!

I never fail.

What did she just say?

Dislocating the nasal septum. Dissector.

I get it. Doing it this way widens the surgical field.

That's why this method is better suited for

Japanese people's small nasal cavity.

Is that why you changed the method!

You're more awesome than the super doctor!

Stop being impressed and focus.

Expand the nasal speculum.

Just a minute...

Excising the anterior wall of sphenoidal sinus.

Drill.

Confirming the tumor on the clivus.

Excising. Ring forceps.

She's fast...

- What happened to the surgery? - What's going on?

- What's going on! - We demand an explanation.

- She hasn't failed yet... - Save President Ichiki!

- Hang in there! - It'll be fine, so hang in there!

Excision complete. We will now begin the cervical spine transplant.

Hey, Demon. What about the one vertebrae we're short on?

We'll augment with his own bone.

Sterilize the grafting area.

I see...

The cervical vertebrae that's short on the 3D printout,

she's planning to make up for it by grafting the patient's own ilium{i} (largest area of hip bone){/i}.

I see.

Scalpel.

All done.

Blood pressure 100, heart rate 60, normal sinus rhythm {i}(NSR){/i}

- Good job. - Well done.

Daimon Sensei, that was a brilliant surgery.

Thank you very much.

I'm not easily shaken up, but I was nervous. Good job.

Bravo.

{i}Operation successful.{/i}

{i}Comment has been sent.{/i}

- The surgery was a success! - All right!

- Totei University's the best! - Banzai!

I always knew you were amazing. I was impressed.

Look, I'm sorry about what happened earlier.

It was right before the surgery and I was on pins and needles.

Oh, as a token of apology, let me treat you to dumplings.

And how about a foot massage?

Your legs must be killing you from performing the surgery.

- Daimon Sensei. - I'm not doing it.

How come...

I won't be deceived again.

I can easily get rid of you, you know.

Oh, scary~. Face too.

You're fired!

Get out... Get out. Get the hell out!

Ah~! This feels heavenly!

Oh, I'm sorry, Akira-san.

- I got fired already. - What?!

Already?

Since you performed the surgery that caused so much excitement on the internet,

I was going to charge them an exorbitant amount of money.

That's why I said I'm sorry.

Michiko. No dinner for you tonight!

For the first time in Japan,

we have succeeded in the surgery to transplant

what we call "the one and only bone in the world" using 3D printed cervical spine.

- Thank you. - It's been reported that

a woman doctor with powerful eyes performed the surgery.

That's a false internet rumor.

The one who performed the surgery

is the super doctor, Kitano Sensei, of course.

Liar...

Come in.

Excuse me.

Melon for you.

And the invoice for the surgery performed by Daimon Michiko

who was fired by you.

Oh...

Have the Director pay for this.

Oh, come on... Don't be like that.

I'll just take this.

- Hurry up and leave. - Just a minute, please.

Leave!

All right. Fine.

There's actually someone who's greedier than me.

Excuse me.

It's little.

Oh, 3rd place.

The popularity of Totei University is soaring.

You're right. It's great.

Excuse me.

- Congratulations. - Thank you.

- Here's the invoice. - What?

You brought it over...okay.

Wow!

Blast off, show off, what a big rip off.

At any rate, she succeeded in performing the first of its kind surgery in Japan.

There's only so much ripping off we can take.

I'm sure you know, but the fee to keep quiet is also included.

Director.

Please pay Daimon Sensei with my contract money.

Doctor Kitano, are you really sure?

Yes.

Because I didn't come here for the money.

Naturally, a big name like Kitano Sensei

would've earned many times more in the U.S., I'm sure.

Yes.

Doctor Kitano.

What other reason is there besides money?

Well then, Daimon Michiko is looking forward to working with you again in the future.

Oh, wait a minute.

Look, I acknowledge receipt of the invoice.

But what happened to the melon that I love?

Ah... I'm sorry.

It was confiscated by that greedy deputy director.

If you'll excuse me.

Kubo Touko, huh?

She ain't the melon type...

She's more like a felon.

Michiko! You managed to hang on to your job!

What? So are you making me dinner tonight?

Are you serious?! Beef stroganoff?! All right!

Got it!

Ben Casey, listen~!

He said beef stroganoff! Yay!

You're the one who operated on me, aren't you?

No. That's a false internet rumor.

There are times when false internet rumor is the truth, right?

Well, whatever...

I'm glad it was you.

The wound from the surgery is really clean and I'm feeling good.

I'm glad to hear that.

Thank you.

Daimon Sensei with the powerful eyes.

Director Hiruma will now commence the Director's rounds.

Oh? Did you come back to see me?

The Director officially hired her starting today.

Wait just a minute. What do you mean officially... She's a part-timer, right? Part-timer.

- Part-timers go to the end of... - I will not do it.

He's still talking! Wait until he's done.

Akira-san. That thing.

I've been waiting for this opportunity.

Waiting for what...

Excuse me.

Here you go.

Here you go.

Now then, once again,

allow me to verify Daimon Michiko's terms of employment.

- "Help the professors with research papers." - I will not do.

Or rather, I have it memorized already.

- "Chauffeur professors to and from golf course?" - I will not do.

- "Attend drinking parties." - I will not do.

- "Scheme to cover up a mistress." - I will not do.

- "Director's rounds. Professors' rounds." - I will not do.

And so on.

Any work that can be done without a medical license...

I will absolutely not do.

What did you just say?

Are you going to do this every time? This I will not do...

That's all.

Are you?

Passing through! Passing through the middle!

For example, this woman.

Averse to groups, averse to authority, averse to constraints,

a medical specialist's license and her self-honed skill

are her only weapons.

Surgeon Daimon Michiko.

Also known as

Doctor X.

The poorest village mayor in Japan?

If it's about money, just tell me how much you want?

Congressman Kanemoto's scandal has been exposed.

Daimon Sensei has started operating on Village Mayor Nioka.

She gave up in the middle because it's too hard for her.

- Do you want to fail again?! - I've never failed either.
