By the time Miwa Chisei reached the operating room, Suguru Geto was covered in tubes. His abdomen was a mangled mess, and basic treatment could no longer stop the bleeding.
At that range, the ordinary person must have exploded in Suguru Geto's arms. He must have shielded himself with a cursed spirit at the last moment, or he would have been blown apart.
Miwa Chisei placed both hands over the bloody wound. Fine beads of sweat already covered her forehead.

Masamichi Yaga sighed.
"We saved his life, but he'll have a hard time
