"We still want to pay a visit. Can you take us with you?" Haruno persisted.
"We're going to the hospital!" Utaha said impatiently.
Haruno thought for a moment and still pulled her sister along to follow.
After all, without an introduction, they couldn't get through the palace gates.
Mrs. Yukinoshita was 99.9% unlikely to see them. They had to go in with Makoto's companions.
With the addition of doctors from America, the scale and medical standards of Nakano Hospital had risen another level compared to when it was in Japan.
As is well known, America's medical standards are really strong… it's just that they used to primarily serve the high class.
"Dad, I've come to see you." Ran said as she walked into the ICU.
Seeing Kogoro's current state through the window, Sonoko and the others couldn't help but get goosebumps.
Because Kogoro looked terrible now: most of the hair on his head was gone, and there was hardly any good skin left on his body, showing large areas of ulceration.
When he saw his daughter, Kogoro grinned, trying to return a smile, revealing his mouth with only a few teeth left, which looked even more horrifying.
However, angelic Ran didn't shy away from her father's appearance. She directly took his ulcerated hand and kept comforting him.
Beside her, Eri saw her daughter pretending to be strong, turned her head away, and sobbed quietly.
"Why are you at the hospital? Is someone sick?"
At that moment, a middle-aged man with a center part wearing a white coat walked over. He was the director of this hospital and also the adoptive father of the Nakano quintuplets… Nakano Maruo.
Seeing his adopted daughters here, he was also surprised because he knew that these five daughters disliked coming to the hospital the most. Their mother, Nakano Rena, had died in a hospital bed.
This had caused considerable psychological trauma to the five sisters.
"Dad." The five sisters called out in unison, their expressions clearly uncomfortable.
Mainly because they hadn't seen each other for a long time.
Maruo glanced at Kogoro in the hospital room and guessed something, asking, "Are you here to visit Mr. Mouri?"
"Doctor, is there really no way to help Mouri-san? Money is no object." Sonoko stepped forward and asked.
Seeing the group of Makoto's companions behind her, Maruo was also startled.
After taking a few deep breaths to calm down, Maruo replied, "Money isn't needed. Medical care is all free now. Nishikawa-sama has already given the order."
Maruo glanced at Kogoro in the ICU and said, "But the problem is, the current medical level really can't help him."
After moving from Japan to America, Nakano Hospital had also absorbed many top local doctors from America, raising the hospital's level another notch.
But Kogoro's condition was just too severe... he couldn't do anything about it.
Then, noticing the Aizono sisters, Reze, and other lovely women who were Makoto's women, Maruo suddenly thought of a question: "Um, ladies... wives, do any of your superpowers have a healing type?"
Hearing Maruo's words, Kotonoha and the others also changed expression slightly.
'That's right, what about superpowers?'
Sonoko slapped her forehead.
She had forgotten that her group of sisters all had special skills.
It's just that their abilities were basically for fighting people, and none of them were for healing.
"Yukino, could you try using your Medical Ninjutsu?" Haruno's eyes lit up as she looked at her sister.
If they could cure Kogoro, it would undoubtedly make Ran owe their family a big favor.
And Ran had such a good relationship with Makoto… wouldn't that mean they'd be connected to Makoto too?
"...I'll give it a try."
Yukino blinked, nodded, and walked into the ICU.
Two minutes later, she came back out.
Well, it was completely useless.
For Kogoro's condition, you'd need Tsunade.
What could Yukino's C-rank Healing Technique do?
The scene fell silent again.
Reze suddenly said, "Let Nayuta come, or borrow the power of a Devil. Maybe that could work."
Everyone immediately thought of that little girl who didn't take anyone seriously except Makoto… Nayuta.
'That's right, she was the Control Devil, a primordial Devil!'
'Wouldn't saving someone be a piece of cake?'
Sonoko eagerly told her best friend about this.
Eri and her daughter Ran were even more excited after hearing this.
"Mom, you take care of Dad a little longer. I'm going to see Sensei."
Ran packed up and eagerly returned to the palace with Reze and the others, bringing along the Yukinoshita sisters and the Nakano quintuplets along the way.
Watching the backs of his five daughters, Maruo suddenly felt like he was about to lose something.
"Aizono Airi-sama, Aizono Marina-sama, Kasumigaoka Utaha-sama, Kato Megumi-sama, Reze-sama... welcome home."
At the entrance of Nishikawa Palace, the Lion Devil and Tiger Devil serving as guards saw this group of female humans with various looks returning and quickly opened the door, calling out the name of each of Makoto's companions like a menu.
'The guards are Devils?'
Seeing these two massive creatures over five meters tall, the Yukinoshita sisters and Ichika, Miku, and Itsuki, entering this palace for the first time, were deeply shocked.
Just then, Yukino remembered something, wondering why did these Devils from the Chainsaw Man World come to the real world? After all, they were living creatures, not tools like the scrolls from the Naruto World.
Megumi said somewhat helplessly, "Just open the door directly in the future."
Every time they left or came back, hearing these Devils call out their names like a tongue twister took several minutes.
The women walked together to the main hall. From Gorilla Devil, a member of the Four Gay Bros, whom they met halfway, they learned that Makoto was in his office.
Halfway there, Megumi noticed that Yukino was a bit nervous and comforted her, "Don't worry, Makoto won't mind you coming. He doesn't care about you at all."
Yukino: "..."
She felt like Megumi's comfort was worse than none.
Suddenly, a very energetic shout came, and like the guards at the door, it was another menu recitation:
"Ah! Megumi-nee, Utaha-nee, Airi-nee, Marina-nee, Reze-nee... you're back!"
This energetic voice reminded Ichika and the others of their fourth sister.
They turned to look. It was a young, cute face of a middle school girl.
'So young!'
Then they looked lower, and Yukino took critical damage.
'So big!'
That's right, clearly a middle school girl who looked only fourteen or fifteen, yet she was that big!
Fortunately, behind this pink-haired big loli was a white-haired one... her figure was much more normal.
"Who's your sister?" Utaha said with a twitching mouth.
Fujiwara Moeha, the younger sister of the current Prime Minister of the Nation of Nishikawa, Fujiwara Chika.
The one behind her was her best friend, named... what was it?
Never mind, an extra wasn't important.
And ever since Moeha moved in, she had been calling them all 'nee'.
As for the reason... well, her intentions were obvious.
However, as if she hadn't heard Utaha's sarcasm, Moeha hugged Megumi, who had the best temperament among the women, and whined, "Hey hey, Megumi-nee, are you going to see Nishikawa-sama? I want to go too~"
Unable to withstand Moeha's whining, Megumi reluctantly agreed.
This pair somehow gave off a feeling similar to Kaguya and Chika.
"It feels like another young girl is about to fall." Haruno, walking behind, leaned close to her sister's ear and murmured.
Seeing Moeha for the first time, she could already tell what this little girl was thinking. She wasn't hiding it at all.
"That won't happen."
Just then, Marina on the other side suddenly spoke, startling the Yukinoshita sisters.
Aizono Marina said, "Makoto won't do anything to little girls under 16."
After all, if Makoto had wanted to, Airi couldn't have been a virgin until high school.
"Wh-why?" Yukino was also a bit confused.
Although she had just been hit hard, she had to admit Moeha was really cute… a true case of a young face with huge breasts.
Could Makoto pass on that quality?
"I think it's because in China, with girls under 16... that, regardless of whether it's consensual, it's considered a crime." Marina thought for a moment.
The Yukinoshita sisters and the Nakano quintuplets were inexplicably speechless.
'Wow, he's that strong and still follows the law?'
But for some reason, Yotsuba among the quintuplets was inexplicably glad that she was already over 16.
