"Before Mr. Kitahara arrived, my teacher already analyzed the situation with . As expected, Super Creek's foot injury falls under a typical case of 'aseptic inflammation.'"
"dically, this is a defensive response by living tissue with a vascular system to damaging factors, manifested as redness, swelling, heat, pain, and impaired function."
"Compared with 'infectious inflammation' caused by bacteria, viruses, or protozoa, aseptic inflammation is generally caused by physical or chemical factors."
"In Super Creek's case, the cause was inappropriate training followed by a lack of tily treatnt. Continuing with various exercises worsened the inflammation."
"So even if my teacher had reminded her before, I must state here that she must not continue running until the injury is fully healed."
As she spoke, Kyoko Miyamura's expression beca very serious.
"For treatnt, I'll use a combination of mild dication and physical therapy. This includes pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory drugs, corticosteroids, glucosamine, and bioregulatory agents to relieve joint inflammation, supplented by hot baths or dicinal baths."
"This treatnt has already shown significant effect. My plan is to pause the dication and continue primarily with the latter thod."
She gestured toward the hot spring nearby.
"That's also why I arranged for Mr. Kitahara to co today."
"We have a dically equipped hot spring here. Soaking in it serves as both heat therapy and hydrotherapy, relaxing muscles, relieving fatigue, expanding blood vessels, promoting circulation, and accelerating tabolism."
"Additionally, calcium carbonate in the spring water can improve physical constitution and restore strength; sodium ions have analgesic effects, and elents like potassium and radon offer similar benefits."
"So today's main therapy will be the hot spring, with so supplentary massage techniques, which I'll personally handle."
Hearing this, Kitahara felt a growing admiration for Kokobu Ren's thorough planning.
He was skilled in training and managent but had no dical background. Learning this himself would take ti and effort, might not yield perfect mastery, and could distract from other tasks.
Having Kyoko handle it was different. She had formal training, was a graduate student and prospective PhD—no concerns about competence—and most importantly, allowed Kitahara to focus on other matters.
…I owe a huge debt of gratitude for this…
Silently reflecting, Kitahara nodded decisively to Kyoko.
"No problem. I leave everything to you, Dr. Miyamura. I fully trust you."
"Mr. Kitahara…"
Being trusted clearly moved Kyoko. She was visibly touched.
"All right! Leave everything to ! I will ensure Super Creek is handled flawlessly for you!"
"Good, I believe in you."
After nodding in affirmation, Kitahara added, "Completely avoiding training may not be ideal either. According to training theory, proper exercise promotes circulation, helps maintain immunity, and prevents inflammation from worsening."
"So I'm considering upper-body training for Super Creek, which could actually speed up recovery. Of course, this plan should be discussed with both Uncle Kokobu and Dr. Miyamura."
Kyoko blinked, clearly surprised by this, and instinctively looked at Kokobu Ren.
Kokuho Ren's expression showed admiration.
"Correct. What Kitahara said aligns with dical theory. Proper activity aids recovery from certain injuries, and Super Creek's situation falls under this."
"Kyoko, you coordinate carefully with Kitahara regarding her treatnt."
With that, he moved toward the villa. "I'm old and can't sit still for long. I'll go rest. If you need , just call."
"Kitahara, stay for a simple al here today," he added.
Kitahara quickly agreed, and Kyoko let out a relieved sigh.
"…Ah, finally the teacher's gone… Phew, a bit of mixed feelings. Having the teacher here is stressful, but now I feel a little uncertain…"
…Don't be uncertain… If you're uncertain, I'm even more uncertain…
Kitahara muttered to himself, smiling wryly. He understood perfectly—having once been a graduate student himself, he knew how intimidating it could be in front of senior experts, and how tense one could feel in their absence.
Ignoring Kyoko's anxiety, he pondered a mont and asked:
"So, Dr. Miyamura, next is Super Creek's treatnt, right?"
He ant it casually, but Kyoko reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, panicking.
"N-No! You mustn't call that, Mr. Kitahara!"
Her outburst startled both Kitahara and Super Creek. She quickly apologized and explained.
"S-Sorry! It's just… Even though I have the dical practitioner certification, I'm still learning under my teacher. I'm not at a fully qualified level yet, so until my teacher formally recognizes , please don't call a doctor…"
Uh… technically true, but since she had the certification, her skill was presumably sufficient.
Kitahara considered it and didn't push. "All right, then may I call you Kyoko, like I do with Uncle Kokobu? I'm older, so it should be fine."
"No problem! Just call Kyoko!"
Kyoko was indeed professional. After taking over Super Creek, she quickly completed a basic check, confird her condition, and began the treatnt plan.
The treatnt was in the hot spring. Kitahara, as a man, couldn't be present. He also didn't want to disturb Dr. Kokobu, so he sat on a chair, contemplating future plans.
This trip to Tokyo was highly productive.
He had ensured Kokurimou and the others could relax and undergo a thorough checkup.
He had encountered Tamamo Cross, Tazuna Hayakawa, and even the little girls like TM Opera O and isho Doto—it was quite interesting.
He had earned Dr. Kokobu's approval, which ant future dical matters wouldn't be a concern, and it would enhance his understanding of dicine in training—a huge help for future developnt.
The biggest gain was unexpectedly obtaining a talented Uma Musu like Super Creek and having the ongoing assistance of a dical professional like Kyoko Miyamura.
Ti calculations indicated it was about ti to return to Kasamatsu for the next stage of the plan.
