Sorry for the wait. Doctor Muraki has awoken. (laugh)

    Pretty active when you've just gotten up, aren't you, Doctor? And you work too quickly... Though you made up for the disappointment when you lost in the casino, didn't you. (laugh) But I guess that's fine, being as you're a perverted surgeon who likes to commit sexual harassment.

    (This is just about all I've been saying, isn't it?)

    Oh! It's a bit of a change of subject, but I've heard many readers ask "Have you ever done doujinshi?" "You must have!" I've finally gotten sick of it, and so I'm going to state myself clearly.

    I DO NOT DO DOUJINSHI.

    I haven't done it in the past, and I don't do it now. Sheesh. I don't have either the time or the money for it. Well, all right, occasionally I'll be asked for an illustration and I'll do it, but I've never, not even once, done it on my own initiative. If I had that sort of free time, I'd be doing more work.

    [around the picture at the bottom] Anyways, I'm job-cursed. Really cursed...

    [underneath the box] Ah, I'm hungry...
