Chapter 94 Misstatement
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
Haruto is excited about new possibilities, but there’s something else he’s curious about.
He wants to know if pain can be suppressed.
If brain chemicals can be adjusted using his ability, it might create effects similar to anesthesia.
However, nerve cells in the brain transmit signals at speeds of about 50 to 100 meters per second, depending on their location.
Since reacting instantly at such speeds is impossible, it would be hard to test unless the pain is continuous.
(But isn’t this like how Akane eliminated menstrual pain?)
At the time, Haruto thought he was suppressing uterine contractions with his ability, but maybe it affected the nerves that transmit pain instead.
(Uterine contractions are necessary, so they’re happening. Stopping them wouldn’t be good, right?)
The question Haruto is thinking about now will be answered soon.
When it comes to eliminating pain, Akane got her period and massaged her lower abdomen as usual.
It was discovered that serotonin, norepinephrine, dopamine, opioids, and other brain chemicals could be sensed using the ability.
Pain was being suppressed by adjusting these chemicals.
As for anesthesia, Haruto went to the dentist to have his wisdom tooth pulled.
When he returned home, the pain got worse, and he tried to continue the anesthesia using his ability.
But the anesthesia was considered a treatment.
To explain simply, local anesthesia relaxes nerves to ease pain, but that relaxation is treated as a medical intervention.
In other words, if used during surgery, the anesthesia’s effect would disappear immediately, and the pain would return, leading to screams.
It would be terrifying.
From this, it’s clear that general anesthesia would also be treated the same way.
Since anesthetic drugs either destroy nerve cells or block nerve transmission, they would be treated just like local anesthesia.
By the way, this is a side note.
The exact mechanism of general anesthesia isn’t fully understood.
He thinks the person who first discovered it, even without knowing why it works, is amazing.
At the same time, he’s grateful that he can use it safely today, thanks to those who continued to use it despite not understanding it.
”Ah, um… Ichijou-kun? …”
”Hmm? What should I do…?!”
She was so lost in thought that she didn’t notice Sanpei-sensei’s massage at all.
Meanwhile, Haruto, out of habit, had started his usual routine.
*Massage massage*
”I-I’m very sorry!!”
”Are you zoning out? Do you feel unwell somewhere?”
Today’s facial massage was different, and she wasn’t in a swimwear.
Since she was dressed in clothes, it probably felt more like her chests were just being squeezed rather than a proper massage.
”I-I’m fine! More importantly, Sensei, how did the matchmaking go?”
”…………”
Haruto brought up the topic to cover up… Sanpei-sensei’s matchmaking.
Earlier, he’d seen Sanpei-sensei looking unwell, thinking maybe her matchmaking hadn’t gone well. But then he brought up that very topic…
(Y-yeah, I really messed up…)
Sanpei-sensei’s mood completely changed.
However, Haruto’s slip-up would end up saving her.
