A Story About How Muscles Solve Everything

A real man needs muscles. It is a fresh memory that a certain announcer was tickled by Nakayama Kinnikun, but there was also a refreshingly muscular person at my previous workplace.

He looked like Raoh. If that doesn't ring a bell, please refer to "Fist of the North Star." It is a timeless masterpiece.

At lunchtime, Raoh would always eat a chunk of chicken breast. It was the same chicken breast every day. He would eat it heartily, accented with broccoli he brought from home in a plastic container. Of course, his drink was a protein shake. I was suddenly curious and asked him: Is it delicious?

“I’ve never eaten it thinking it was delicious. It’s just that my muscles are happy.”

A refreshing answer came back. It’s not delicious? Are you serious? You keep eating that every day? That was the first time I had ever met someone in real life who said such a thing. I became suddenly interested.

Raoh, who went to the gym to train three or four times a week, would work in scrubs, saying, "White coats are too tight around the shoulders." Indeed, even if he tried to wear a regular white coat, his shoulders wouldn't fit through the sleeves, making it look like a cape. If he were to go on rounds like that, it would be exactly like a scene where Raoh appears. Though there was no horse.

One autumn afternoon, we both needed to get our flu shots, so I was paired up with Raoh. It was just a matter of injecting 0.5ml of medicine subcutaneously, but would my fist (the injection) work on Raoh?

“Subcutaneous injection, you say? Where is my subcutaneous tissue!? Under the skin is muscle! Hahahaha~!!”

Raoh laughed loudly. Usually, there is subcutaneous tissue under the skin, and there is subcutaneous fat there, so when you pinch it, it feels squishy, but Raoh's skin was indeed stretched tight, highlighting the shape of his muscles.

“Oh, please don't inject into the muscle, okay? What would you do if you hurt it?”

No, no, no, no, even if it were hurt a little, it would heal right away. It was a specially prepared 29G needle (ultra-fine), so even if something happened, it would surely be fine. I slid the needle under his skin and finished the injection safely, but I broke out in a cold sweat. I firmly vowed in my heart to pair up with someone else next year.

Raoh, who was probably the strongest person in the hospital, was valued in many places. Yet, he was kind to patients and skilled at procedures, so he was also admired by his juniors. He was a Raoh with clear eyes who hadn't fallen to the dark side.

There was a doctor who was his direct supervisor, referred to as a "demon," who was the very embodiment of terror. He would scold young doctors like a raging fire and was the type to further corner and crush the young doctors who had already shrunk away.

(↓↓Please also refer to the following regarding that person↓↓)

Raoh was naturally sometimes the target of that doctor's wrath, but he was completely unfazed. His demeanor was such that I felt like the Fist King himself had manifested. He would just stand there, taking the shouting without moving an inch, and when he finished listening, he would say at the end, "Yes. I am very sorry," a textbook example of how to receive a lecture.

I was curious how he could pull off such a feat, so I asked him.

“Honestly, it’s annoying. He goes too far, and there are times when I think, isn't that strange? But once it gets to that point, arguing doesn't lead to a discussion, and besides,I have muscles, so I think to myself,.”

Didn't you say something strange at the end?

“This guy is saying all sorts of things, but I don't feel like I'll lose to him in terms of muscle, and if it comes down to it, hehehe.”

Scary, scary, scary. You were receiving a lecture while harboring such rebellious spirit? I didn't even realize that the one barking was actually the one in a tight spot. As expected of Raoh.

This is not limited to muscles, but having a hidden move for rebellion when you are in a disadvantageous situation is an effective means for mental health. For example, a recording, or perhaps self-defense items; even if you don't actually use them, just having the feeling that you have something 'in case of emergency' makes it easier to maintain your composure.
Raoh didn't actually use his muscles on that demon boss, but he was able to handle the situation well.

I also want to continue my training so that I can say,'I have no regrets in my life!!'.

......I'll do my best with muscle training. (whisper)

Thank you very much for sticking with my poor writing until the end. May your muscle fibers continue to grow stronger and stronger.
