Miracle Summoner

Within just a few minutes, what was once the quiet and largely deserted twelfth floor began to see a steady flow of doctors in white coats and nurses in protective gear.

They hurried over and, under Kurahashi's direction, entered the sterile room to conduct a thorough examination of Yuuki.

Meanwhile, Rozen, who had already left the sterile room, was being scolded by an agitated Kurahashi, only to be interrupted by a series of astonished exclamations and incredible reports.

"The patient's pneumocystis pneumonia complications are gradually healing!"

"The esophageal candidiasis infection is subsiding!"

"The cytomegalovirus is weakening and being expelled!"

"The nontuberculous mycobacteria have decreased by over 30%—and the reduction is ongoing!"

"Even... even the CD4 lymphocyte count is starting to increase!"

"My goodness!"

The results coming in from the doctors and nurses left Kurahashi completely stunned.

Asuna, too, widened her eyes in shock, but her surprise was quickly replaced with elation.

Even Kikuoka Seijirou, despite mentally preparing himself, couldn't help but feel shaken as he turned to look at Rozen.

There, Rozen maintained his usual calm demeanor, silently observing the unfolding developments.

Finally, Kurahashi couldn't hold back any longer and entered the sterile room to personally verify Yuuki's test results and the readings displayed on various monitors.

In the end, Kurahashi had no choice but to believe it. The various infections and viruses plaguing Yuuki were rapidly disappearing, her condition was improving, and her CD4 T lymphocytes were undergoing significant reproduction and strengthening. Even the HIV virus in her body was visibly diminishing at an observable speed, causing her body to recover health by the second.

"How could this... how could this be..."

Kurahashi murmured as if witnessing a miracle.

HIV, as a virus that attacks the immune system, specifically targets and destroys CD4 T lymphocytes, one of the most critical components of the immune system. It robs the body of its immune defenses, leaving patients susceptible to various infections and malignant tumors, with a high mortality rate. It has long been regarded as an incurable disease.

Now, however, the HIV virus was vanishing at an astonishing rate, while the immune system's CD4 T lymphocytes were miraculously multiplying and recovering. The ultimate result would naturally be the complete eradication of HIV and the full restoration of lymphocyte function, enabling the patient to make a complete recovery.

Coupled with the disappearance of the infections and viruses afflicting Yuuki, it was projected that her recovery would be complete in no time.

Led by Kurahashi, the doctors and nurses calculated the recovery timeline and reached an astounding conclusion.

Three hours.

It would take just three hours for Yuuki to fully recover!

At that point, while Yuuki wouldn't be able to leave the hospital immediately due to her weakened physical condition—having been bedridden for three years and ravaged by various infections, leaving her severely underweight—her only remaining challenge would be undergoing rehabilitation.

In other words, in three hours, Yuuki would recover from her illness. Afterward, with rehabilitation, she could be discharged and return to a normal life.

Upon hearing this conclusion, all the doctors erupted in excitement.

"Incredible!"

"This is simply unbelievable!"

"This is a medical miracle!"

"How was this achieved? How on earth was this achieved?"

"Kurahashi, what exactly did you give Konno Yuuki?"

The doctors were visibly thrilled.

As for Yuuki, who had received the same news, she had already removed her full-dive machine and was struggling to sit up. She sat there, her face dazed as if she were in a dream.

"I'm... really..."

Yuuki murmured as though she couldn't believe it.

For her, this might as well have been a fleeting dream with no sense of reality.

Seeing this, Asuna couldn't hold back her tears.

"You're healed. You're really healed, Yuuki."

Asuna trembled as she grasped Yuuki's thin hand, tears streaming down her face.

"Am I... really healed...?" Yuuki hesitated, nervously seeking confirmation.

She likely feared that all of this was just a dream.

Asuna's tears flowed uncontrollably.

"You're healed. You're truly healed, Yuuki."

Unable to suppress her emotions, Asuna embraced Yuuki.

"I'm healed... I'm healed..."

Feeling the warmth of Asuna's embrace and her own body that was still feverish with life, Yuuki finally confirmed that this was no dream.

And so, Yuuki smiled.

It was the same vibrant and cheerful smile as before.

Yet, at the same time, tears streamed continuously from her eyes.

"Asuna... Asuna..."

"Yuuki..."

The two girls embraced tightly, both shedding tears of joy, drawing warm gazes from the surrounding doctors and nurses.

Outside the sterile room, watching this scene unfold, Rozen also smiled.

But Kurahashi, filled with excitement, was already approaching him.

"What exactly did you give Konno Yuuki? Tell me immediately!"

Kurahashi, trembling with excitement, grabbed Rozen's hand tightly and exclaimed, "Is that a specialized cure for HIV? Has such a drug been developed? Even so, curing all complications in three hours is far too incredible! Tell me what it is! This must be a breakthrough of monumental significance for the medical world!"

Kurahashi's excitement was palpable.

Even though HIV is no longer as terrifying as it once was, it remains an incurable disease.

While early-stage cases are manageable, mid-stage treatment becomes significantly more challenging. As for late-stage cases, they are considered terminal, often warranting an immediate critical condition notice.

In this context, a drug capable of curing this terminal illness within just three hours—along with all associated complications—would undoubtedly be hailed as a medical miracle.

Kurahashi could already foresee the revolutionary impact this drug would have on the medical field and society as a whole.

As a doctor, he could not ignore such a monumental discovery.

However, before Rozen could respond, Kikuoka Seijirou spoke first.

"Apologies, Dr. Kurahashi, but this is a matter of national secrecy. Until appropriate measures are in place, I must ask you to refrain from inquiring further and to ensure that no one involved discloses this incident. Is that clear?"

Kikuoka Seijirou spoke in an uncharacteristically firm and authoritative tone.

"I... I understand."

Kurahashi took a deep breath, nodded reluctantly, and calmed himself.

"My apologies, Aoka-kun," Kikuoka Seijirou turned to Rozen, smiling. "Shall we discuss this outside?"

Hearing this, Rozen glanced at Kikuoka Seijirou and nodded indifferently.
