First-Ever Surgery
The name of Marquis Laurel’s illness was identified. It’s male infertility.
“Got it. Marquis Laurel. You have an illness called ‘male infertility'”
“I am ill huh. That is why I am unable to have a child huh!”
“Yes. Let me explain it then”
Whoosh!
“Uwaーh!”
I pulled a pen and a paper over from my room with Telekinesis. Everybody, you’re being too surprised.
“I will be drawing it out. ‘Sperm’ are baby seeds shaped like this, and there are tons of them swimming in the semen. It feels like this when I draw it out. It is normal for there to be about 2 hundred million sperm inside the semen that comes out per ejaculation. The total population of this world is 500 thousand people, so 2 billion is a number that is 400 times that”
“That is the norm, but looking at Marquis Laurel’s semen, there are only about 20 million sperm. In other words, there is only 1/10 that of a normal person. You cannot impregnate anyone with this”
“Wha-, what! Is it that bad……”
Marquis Laurel is ghastly pale.
“Marquis Laurel. You don’t have to be that dejected; this illness is curable!”
“It is curable huh! What do I have to do?”
“Yeah. First, please have your Chichiue return to work”
“Chichiue? How is that related to my illness?”
“Marquis Laurel is overworking. You have an illness called ‘burnout’ as well. The Marquis household’s official duties are probably a workload that you cannot handle entirely by yourself”
“By pushing yourself and working continuously for long hours without resting, your bodily functions have been paralysed. That’s why you have ended up becoming incapable of creating sperm”
“By the way, in the case where a woman pushes herself and continuously does hard labour for long hours, her ovulation will stop, and her menstruation will no longer come punctually every month. Stelleria or Veronica have experienced it before, no?”
“Ye-, yes. It is exactly as you say”
Stellaria answered with a bizarre expression. As I thought huh. The ‘Sword Saint’ is probably not something you can become with standard training after all.
“Listen up, alright. The problem is not only on the woman’s side in cases where you cannot quite conceive a child. There are also many cases where the problem occurs on the man’s side like this”
“Hence, please have your Chichiue help in your work, reduce your daily workload, and make a day where you don’t work and play with Melissa at least once a week. If you get days where you can relax like that, you will probably gradually come to be able to make more sperm as well”
“I see. However, Chichiue is……”
“Is your Chichiue, fine with this House dying out without a successor?”
“No! By no means does he think that”
“Then, Marquis Laurel, you will talk to your Chichiue about everything we just talked about. Tell him, ‘please, for the sake of getting a successor'”
“Got it. I will try talking to him”
“Your work a day will be from 9 in the morning until 6 in the evening, and you will also rest for an hour in the afternoon. And then, you will have one rest day a week. Please call me a month after you manage to do this. I will teach you how to conceive a boy”
“Will you teach us!”
“Eeh, of course. But is it alright for all three of the Madams to conceive a boy?”
“There is, well, no problem no matter how many boys there are!”
“So it seems, Madams. I think everybody had a great deal of uneasiness because of the fact that you’ve not conceived a successor until now. Even if Marquis Laurel recovers, if everybody feels uneasy, even if you do ovulate, there are instances where it will not make it through fertilisation or implantation and progress all the way to pregnancy”
“It is also important to do things you enjoy without worrying too much. Eating delicious cuisine and sweets, growing flowers, will probably work as well. Please find such things where you can have a change of pace and spend your time restfully”
“Is there anything you do not understand, or anything you want to ask?”
“Er-, erm, then, would it be better for us 3 wives to stay together from here on out?”
“Yeah. It would be good to be together if possible. I think it is a good idea for you three to pamper Melissa and support Marquis Laurel together”
“It is not something where just one person amongst you three people have to put in the effort. If the three of you get along, you will be able to help each other in the child-raising hereafter as well, no?”
“Yes! Thank you!”
“Tsukuyomi-sama. Thank you”
“Tsukuyomi-sama. How could we ever thank you……”
“You can thank me after conceiving a successor”
We returned with Teleportation on the return trip. Everybody saw the ship disappear suddenly from before the mansion and froze.
“What an individual……”
“As I thought, he really is the Saviour huh!”
“Now then, we have to contact Chichiue! Both Anna and Melissa will move here together”
“Yes. Milord!”
When we returned to the castle, I asked Okaa-san to report to Ojii-san, and I headed to the barn as is with Stellaria and Veronica in order to let Ar run.
“Stellaria, Veronica. Was it a bit too stimulating today?”
“‘Today as well!’. Be it the previous time or this time, there have been nothing but surprises. Tsukuyomi-sama is really not a 5-year-old huh”
“Eeh, I am 30 years old”
“Eーーーh! Thi-, thi-, thi- thirt-, thyー!”
“Fufuu. Veronica really is cute huh”
“Eh! Me? Eh? Cu-, cute? Eh?”
“It sure is worth it to tease you huhー”
“Ahー! Are you teasing me!”
“But me being 30 years old is true, you know. I lived for 25 years in my previous life’s world. And then 5 years over here. Making it 30 years in total”
“The knowledge of the job called a ‘doctor’ in that world sure is amazing huh”
“Yeah. It seems that in the world on this side, because the chief priest heals with the Healing ability, they are not equipped with knowledge huh”
“Is there no Healing ability in that world?”
“There is not. You learn about the human body and illnesses through a study called ‘medical science’. Is there something Stellaria wants to ask?”
“Ah! No, somebody like me should not be asking questions. My apologies”
“Stellaria, Veronica. I am not a noble, and there was no noble system in my previous life’s world either, so I don’t really know about the difference in statuses and whatnot. I’m not concerned with any of it either, and I’ll be having the two of you teach me swordsmanship from here on out as well, so please don’t hold back”
“I-, is it alright……actually, it is about my mother; she has menstruation several times a month. It seems the bleeding is awful, and she even has dizziness recently”
“That is no good. Have she gone to the shrine?”
“Yes. She has, but only the pain subsided ever so slightly; she has not gotten any better”
“How old is your mother?”
“37 years old”
“How many children has she given birth to?”
“Two, my older sister and me”
“Does she still have plans to make a child from here on out?”
“No, as expected, she is already 37 years old after all, so I think not”
“Is that so. Tomorrow, is it possible to have her come to the shrine?”
“Eh? I can have you take a look at my mother?”
“Eeh, I don’t mind. Let’s make it after lunch tomorrow, shall we”
“Yes! Thank you!”
The next day, I went into the shrine after lunch. Stellaria’s mother had come accompanied by Stellaria.
“Stellaria. Over here”
“Yes”
I talked to Tsukikage-nee-sama and had her let me use the room used for deliveries. Of course, I have Tsukikage-nee-sama observe as well.
“Tsukuyomi-sama. This here is my mother, Marcel Vise Neumann”
“Thank you for taking care of Stellaria. I am her mother, Marcel. Thank you for today”
“Nice to meet you. I am Tsukuyomi. Well then, let’s take a look right away”
I see through her belly and inspect the vicinity of her womb. I already have an idea of what illness it is. All that’s left is the severity of its condition. I looked at her womb, and a myoma the size of a man’s fist had already formed on her cervix.
Uーn. It’s a uterine fibroid, but it has already gotten too big. Furthermore, if she is still just 37 years old, there are too many years until her menopause.
It’s a situation where, if she’s no longer going to have a child, we would have surgery and do a total hysterectomy if we were on Earth. If we don’t do that, her menstrual condition will continue, and she won’t be able to live properly because of anaemia, and if it carries on getting bigger, it’ll even push onto her bladder.
Total hysterectomy huh……no, hold on. I can pull Earth’s things over to this world. And then, I even pulled a baby out previously. In that case, even for the womb, I can pull it over and remove it like I do with Teleportation, no?
Why, I cannot fail. Let’s think about it carefully. It’s not like the womb is independent inside the body. The vagina and ovaries are connected as well. Besides, if we take the woman’s hormones into consideration, we would want to keep the ovaries.
I will cut and burn the organs that are connected to the womb in advance and stop the bleeding beforehand. After that, I will pull the womb out alongside the myoma……huh. Should I give it a try?
Tsukikage-nee-sama won’t be able to treat it at this rate. In any case, she’ll lose her life. I guess there’s no other way than to give it a shot.
“Onii-sama. What is the matter?”
“Tsukuyomi-sama. Is it really bad?”
“Eeh, unfortunately, it is pretty bad. She probably cannot live for long at this rate”
“Then, it is incurable huh”
“Yes. It has already worsened to the extent that it cannot be treated. But if we do a certain thing and it succeeds, we might be able to save your life. If it succeeds……that is”
“That is……something difficult huh”
“Yes. I have no way of knowing whether or not it will succeed since I have not tried doing it before in this world”
“Onii-sama. But she cannot survive if you do not do that, right?”
“That is, correct”
“Tsukuyomi-sama. If, I can have you do that, could I request you to? I am sure this will be the only time we have that opportunity”
Stellaria’s Okaa-san, is probably also grasping at straws.
“Stellaria. Is it alright?”
“I think it is exactly as Hahaue1 says. I would like to request you to as well”
“Got it. There will be quite a bit of pain at the same time as it finishes, but please bear with it. Onee-sama. Can I have you continuously perform Healing that stops pain?”
“Yes. Onii-sama”
“Is there anything like, a large-ish pot with a wide opening?”
“Yes. I will bring it over right away”
Sienna the shrine maiden who was observing over there ran out.
I’ll practise making a laser scalpel. First, I produce fire on my fingertip. I steadily raise it to a high temperature. The flame turns bluish-white. I go on to make that flame thin, and finally, I transform it into a lightning bolt-ish beam of a laser scalpel. Alright, I’ll recreate this inside the body and perform the incision.
Everybody around was staring at my fingertip with their eyes wide-open and at a loss for words.
Sienna the shrine maiden ran and brought a ceramic deep-pot-ish teapot over.
“Thanks. Please leave that by my feet then. I will be starting”
I focus See-Through-Vision on the womb and look at it. After putting in my strength so that I’m squeezing the connecting points of the organs and blood vessels connected to the womb, I go about it with the image of cutting off those parts with the laser scalpel while burning and stopping the bleeding.
Stellaria’s Okaa-san, is twisting her face and bearing with the pain whenever I do the cutting. Tsukikage-nee-sama wrings out every bit of her Healing power whenever she does. After confirming that I’ve stopped the bleeding of the last spot that I cut, I powerfully visualise using Teleportation on the entirety of her womb to the teapot by my feet.
Plop!
There was a sound by my feet. I managed to fully remove the womb inside her belly. I’m worried about her bleeding internally. I immediately start the treatment for inflammation prevention and to stop bleeding with Onee-sama.
She’s twisting her face in quite a bit of pain, but it looks like she’s maintaining her consciousness. If nothing happens from tonight through to tomorrow, I guess you can probably say that it’s a success.
“It might have succeeded somehow. But we cannot let our guard down until tomorrow. Please recuperate for 7 days like this here. I will come and have a look tonight and tomorrow morning”
“Tsukuyomi-sama. Thank you very much”
“Thank you. Tsukuyomi-sama saved Hahaue’s life!”
“She is still, not guaranteed to have been saved. She needs to rest quietly for another 3 days at the very least no matter what”
“Yes. Thank you”
Fuuー. I didn’t think that I’d really be able to do it, but it looks like it worked out somehow.
