The Way to Save Her Was with Electricity...

Sugou Nobuyuki would never allow this to happen!

Although he had no idea what method this guy called Wu Yan had to wake Asuna, or whether it would even succeed, Sugou Nobuyuki did not want to take the risk!

"Mr. Wu Yan, correct?"

Sugou Nobuyuki stepped forward on the spot, burying all his emotions deep inside. He lowered his head slightly, hiding his eyes—the only thing that might reveal his thoughts—behind the glare on his lenses. His usual gentle expression settled onto his face.

"While your proposal is certainly tempting, I'm sorry, but even so many doctors and experts have been unable to solve this problem. Leaving it to someone who is unwilling even to reveal his origins is truly rather worrying. So please forgive us for being unable to simply entrust Miss Asuna to you!"

Though Sugou Nobuyuki's words were plain and easy to understand, their underlying meaning was also clear to Yuuki Shouzo: the other party was, after all, someone of unknown origin and could not be trusted.

Indeed, Sugou Nobuyuki's words slowly calmed Yuuki Shouzo's wavering heart, and the scales of choice began to tip toward Sugou Nobuyuki. So he took a breath.

"I'm sorry, but please leave..." Yuuki Shouzo said. This left Wu Yan somewhat indignant, but also somewhat helpless.
