I, Aki Tomoya, will not be a simp.

Page 177

Majima's father is a professor of cardiovascular medicine at Johoku Medical University, but he comes from Keio University School of Medicine. The intricate connections between different university hospitals are complicated to explain.

One hospital can be associated with many other hospitals.

The doctor-patient relationship is the biggest problem plaguing the entire medical community.

Take the United States, for example. Doctors there have high status, but medical disputes are still a headache for them. There are also quite a few lawyers in the United States who like to extort money from hospitals.

If it can be settled privately, then settle it privately; if it needs to be fought in court, then fight it in court. If the lawsuit is difficult to win, then settle it privately as well.

Reaching a settlement is the best outcome. Hospitals and doctors don't actually have that much time to deal with medical disputes; they always have to face the next patient.

Doctor-patient relationships and medical disputes are troublesome for any hospital.

“I recognized your voice, and then my father said you were very good. He likes young people like you who can think about things from the right perspective.”

Aki Tomoya brushed off Majima's comment with a laugh.

He really wanted to say that his kindness stemmed from his emotions and his desire to help Mrs. Kobayashi with her case.

But he didn't say it.

Later, when Mikoto Misumi asked him about it at UDI, he replied that it was good that he hadn't caused UDI any trouble.

Indeed, it didn't cause any trouble for UDI. Although UDI made a few appearances, people's attitudes toward forensic medicine remained ambiguous.

Creating an oasis in this desert is a long and arduous task.

……

In mid-August, after finishing his work at UDI, Aki Tomoya took the tickets given to him by Eriri and prepared to see just how amazing the works his childhood friend was exhibiting this time really were.

Even if you say he doesn't actually understand art, you can still say "Amazing!"

On the day of the exhibition, Aki Tomoya met up with Kato Megumi, who was going to the exhibition with him, and got off at Ueno Station.

This place is very close to Tokyo University of the Arts, where Eriri studies. Her works will be exhibited at an art museum in Ueno with her mentor.

Since it was still early, he and Kato Megumi found a family restaurant in Ueno and sat down to rest.

Eriri had a lot of things to prepare, so she didn't have time to say anything about personally picking up her friend.

During their conversation, Kato Megumi mentioned the time when Aki Tomoya "publicly appeared" on television, which made him somewhat embarrassed.

"In Kato's opinion, how many years should the murderer be sentenced to?"

“Aki-kun, I am a law student, that’s true, but it’s only my first year. When it comes to things like sentencing, it would be more reliable for you to ask other people for advice.”

"..."

"Moreover, Aki-kun diverted the blame for the hospital. In terms of responsibility, the hospital can't really avoid it either. Such a dangerous person should have been discovered earlier."

As expected of Kato Megumi, one sentence from her was enough to leave him speechless.

This is tricky. Kato, who has grown his hair long, seems to be getting more and more powerful. Is it possible that he has some terrifying energy hidden inside him?

"Kato-kun, would you be interested in working at a law firm?"

Aki Tomoya tried to change the subject.

Kato Megumi, who was flipping through the book, looked up at him with a puzzled expression.

Aki Tomoya noticed a hint of suspicion in her eyes.

That subtle expression seemed to suspect him of having ulterior motives, prompting him to quickly explain, "It's just that at my part-time job, a senior colleague said that her mother, who runs a law firm, needs someone to help out. It's just some simple tasks, similar to my job as a record clerk."

“There’s a big difference, okay? Aki-kun was facing a corpse.”

This sharp criticism almost made him think his part-time job was pathetic.

However, there is indeed a gap when comparing hourly wages.

The saying "comparison is the thief of joy" also applies here.

"But I have a feeling that Aki-kun is messing with me. You don't mean to make me go into medical malpractice litigation, so that you can ask me for help when you encounter medical disputes in the future, right?"

Kato Megumi slowly raised the book in her hand, leaving only a glance for the boy opposite her to slowly understand.

He couldn't help but chuckle as he replied, "That is indeed a good idea, but what I'm referring to mainly involves resolving divorce cases, labor disputes, and medical malpractice lawsuits. Without considerable expertise, not many lawyers in this country are willing to take on those cases."

But then again, if Kato Megumi really does pursue medical malpractice lawsuits in the future, she'll actually be getting a great deal.

No one can guarantee what unexpected things might happen in the future. If you were a doctor and encountered a medical malpractice lawsuit, having a trustworthy lawyer would be great.

Moreover, who knows, Kato Megumi might become a lawyer as skilled as Komekado in the future.

"On another note, what are Kato Megumi's plans for this development?"

"Public security and procuratorate."

That's lofty an ambition...

Prosecutor Kato Megumi, that's impressive too.

"I might have to rely on Kato-kun in the future!"

With such a serious expression, Kato Megumi didn't know where to begin her吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or critical comments).

In this atmosphere, she almost felt that they were plotting to collude with her in the future, which left her speechless.

"The atmosphere is a bit strange..."

She uttered those words and then sharply looked to her right.

Through the glass, just an arm's length away, she saw a familiar face.

"It's Kasumigaoka-senpai."

That face seemed to have observed this place for a long time, taking in every detail with eyes that could see through everything.

For no apparent reason, Kato Megumi felt a pang of unease she had never experienced before.

What happened to this senior student?

"Since you're already here, why don't you come in?"

Aki Tomo, realizing what was happening, wasn't sure if the other person could hear him, but at least they could see his lip movements.

After her senior, Kasumigaoka Utaha, entered the store, she plopped down next to Kato Megumi and said with great resentment, "My work was rejected by the publisher!"

So that's what happened. No wonder the resentment within me was so intense.

This proud senior student must be feeling bad after her submitted work was rejected.

Aki Tomoya raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself, "Just as I expected." He didn't say anything at this moment, afraid of provoking the other party.

Kato Megumi asked with a curious look, "Is Kasumigaoka-senpai writing a novel?"

"I've been writing since high school."

"I've never heard of that before!"

Kato's standard surprise lasted only a few seconds before he regained his composure.

"Well, it is a light novel after all."

"I can understand, the contrast is indeed too great..."

She also had to admit that back in high school, no one would have imagined that the aloof beauty would be a homebody.

Now that I think about it carefully, it turns out that the reputation of their alma mater, Toyonosaki Academy, was built by these three otaku.

"Otaku can save the world!"

Kato Megumi thought to herself, wondering if it was just that the otaku were really amazing, or if the three of them were particularly impressive.

Let's leave that question for now; the senior next to me seems to have something to say.

Why was my opening paragraph rejected?

Chapter 210 Closer, Closer (3/?)

Toyonosaki Academy is full of talented people; we should be proud of our alma mater!

Let's take a look at the outstanding students who have graduated from this high school.

"What a shame!"

In her second year at Keio University's Faculty of Letters, as a bestselling light novel author, Kasumigaoka Utaha received a major setback at a popular novel publishing company.

She submitted her work under a pseudonym, but it was rejected. She was even encouraged that her writing was good, but the plot wasn't great. She was told to try harder next time and not give up, and to keep submitting her work!

"The sixteenth time."

In his first year of science at the Faculty of Liberal Arts, University of Tokyo, the male student clearly remembered how many times his senior had said "utterly shameful."

He had expected that his senior's opening would be rejected.

"I really want to read the novel written by Kasumigaoka-senpai."

A female student who spent her first year in the Faculty of Law at Shinazugawa University, a prestigious law school in Japan with close ties to Hosei University, and who may become a prosecutor in the future, remained as calm as ever.

Although she doesn't read light novels and doesn't know what status Kasumigaoka-senpai has in the light novel industry, she is quite interested in the novel that was rejected.

Why was it rejected?
