The procedure the surgery adopted was to extract the fetus first and then proceed with a salpingo-oophorectomy of the tumor-affected uterus—a plan that was determined after discussion between Daimon Michiko, Jounouchi Hiromi, and Chen Yu.
Before the operation, Daimon Michiko and Chen Yu did consider another surgical approach, which was to remove the tumor and adnexa of the uterus before delivering the fetus. However, they worried that if the tumor ruptured during surgery, it could affect the fetus. After discussing it further and consulting with Egawa Sae herself, they decided to extract the fetus first, followed by the tumor removal.
"Be careful, Daimon-san. The amniotic sac is very fragile, and if it breaks, the situation will become very serious. So you must be careful, and you need to make sure to remove the placenta without any damage," Jounouchi Hiromi said, reminding Daimon Michiko as she finished making an incision in Egawa Sae's lower abdomen, exposing the amniotic sac.@@@@
Daimon Michiko was also somewhat nervous since this was her first time extracting a fetus from the womb. Such a task seriously tested her skills. Even Doctor X, who was known never to fail, couldn't help but take a deep breath to steady her emotions before saying, "Now, let's begin the fetus extraction."
As she spoke, Daimon Michiko carefully reached her hands into the opened abdomen of Egawa Sae.
Meanwhile, everyone in the observation room grew tense as Daimon Michiko began to extract the fetus. This was the most critical and difficult part of the entire surgery.
The amniotic sac is a translucent thin layer that envelops the fetus and amniotic fluid before birth. It is very soft, and not particularly tough—so much so that if Daimon Michiko applied slightly more force, she could easily rupture the sac.
If one were to make an analogy, it was akin to an inflated and water-filled balloon glued to a wall with 520 super glue, and you need to remove the balloon from the wall by hand—through a small opening just big enough to extract the balloon and fit in one hand, without popping it.
Chen Yu had refused Jounouchi Hiromi's proposal to lead the surgery precisely because he felt he couldn't manage this part. He wasn't fully confident that he could remove the fetus without causing any harm.
Of course, if he used the methods of the Necromancer, there were many ways to achieve this purpose, but then the surgery would no longer be suitable for ordinary people to observe.
However, clearly, since Daimon Michiko could turn her catchphrase "I never fail" into a supernatural power and even command belief, she indeed had the sufficient skill and strength to state such a claim. Over eight thousand patients healed by her stood as testimony that she truly never failed.
"Close up the abdomen," Daimon Michiko commanded, nodding as she used an automatic suturing device to close up the wound on Egawa Sae's belly. Then, tossing the device onto a nearby tray, she announced, "The surgery is complete."
"Good job," Jounouchi Hiromi said with a smile, removing her surgical mask as Daimon Michiko declared the end of the surgery.
"You too~," Daimon Michiko replied, but not without adding, "Don't forget about the beef dinner later! I want specially selected A5 grade!"
At the mention of their prior agreement, Jounouchi Hiromi couldn't help but chuckle, but she nodded and promised, "I know! I'll treat you."
"Then I'm off!" With that, Daimon Michiko stripped off her blood-stained disposable surgical gown and threw it into the trash can at the door of the operation theater before walking out.
After watching Daimon Michiko leave, Jounouchi Hiromi turned back to the others in the operating room and said, "Great work, everyone!"

"You worked hard too!" the nurses in the operating room quickly responded to Jounouchi Hiromi's comment.
Having expressed her appreciation to the operating room staff, Jounouchi Hiromi then went to the artificial womb placed next to the operating table. She looked at the fetus inside the incubator, wrapped in the amniotic sac, and felt a profound sense of achievement.
In the observation room above, as the surgery concluded successfully, everyone spontaneously broke into applause.
Chen Yu, looking through the glass of the observation room, caught Jounouchi Hiromi's eyes below and mouthed the words, "Congratulations, you've done great."
