Text: バズ、人体に思いを巡らす・・・
Buzz concentrates on the human anatomy...

Text: 撓骨（とうこつ）、尺骨（しゃっこつ）、撓側根屈筋（とうそくこんくっきん）、円回内筋（えんかいないきん）、浅指屈筋（せんしくっきん）・・・
The radius, ulna, flexor carpi radialis, pronator teres, flexor digitorum superficialis

Rosary: ・・・ぼっちゃま
...Sir
Rosary: ぼっちゃま？！
Little master?!

Rosary: ぼっちゃま危ないっ！！！
Sir, watch out!!!


Page 03

Man: 気ぃつかえろボケェ！！！
Watch where you're going you asshole!!!

Rosary: ぼっちゃまねぇ！！こんな馬車道を何ボーッと歩いてんすか！！
Sir!! There are wagons on this road
You can't just zone out like that!!

Buzz: ご・・・ごめんなさい
I- I'm sorry *doki doki*

Buzz: じ・・・人体の構造は常にイメージしておけって父さんに言われてたから
I- it's just that Dad used to tell me I always had to picture the human anatomy...
つい・・・
a-and I...

Rosary: ・・・ぼっちゃま。メディル家の”悲願”・・・わかってるすか？！
Sir...
You do know the "dearest wish" of the Medill family, right?!
*open*


Page 04

Rosary: メディル医術で多くの人間を救うコト・・・
It's to save as many people with the Medill healing arts
そして救った患者の”血の署名”で血命録（ビブロス）を埋めるコト！！
and
to fill the Byblos with the "blood signature" of those we save!!

Rosary: その準備をするためにテレスフォス家の隠れ家（アジト）
And our goal right now is to head to "Pretonion",
”ペレトロニオン”に向かうコトが当面の目的っす！！
to the Teresfoss hideout, in order to prepare for this!!

Rosary: ぼっちゃまがペレトロニオンに着く前に死んじゃったら悲願もクソもないんすよ！！
But none of this means anything if you die before we get there!!
もっとアスクレピオスとしての自覚を持つっす！！
You must remember what it means to be an Asklepios!

Buzz: け・・・けどロザリィさん
B- but Rosary-san

Rosary: ロ・ザ・リ・ィ！！！従者に”さん”はいらねーっす！！
It's Rosary!!!
I serve you; Don't you dare use an on honorific on me!! *glare*

Buzz: ロ・・・ロザリィ
Ro- Rosary


Page 05

Buzz: ぼ・・・ぼくはメディル家の”目的”っていうより
Thi- this "wish" of the Medills...
ただ・・・
I- it's just not...

Rosary: あぁん？！！”ただ”何すか？！！
Yes??
"Just not" what??

Buzz: いいえ・・・なんでもありません
N- no...
it's nothing

Rosary: まったく・・・
Hmph, really...

Text (Rosary): この頼りない感じ・・・とてもダンナ様の息子とは思えないっす
He's not very dependable is he? It's hard to believe he's the Master's child...
よくよく考えればロザリィはまだ直接ぼっちゃまの実力を見たワケじゃないんすよね・・・
Come to think of it, it's not like I've seen his skills yet...

Text (Rosary): ”神の眼”を使ったとこは見たものの・・・
I've seen him using the "God's eye" but...
どっかでぼっちゃまの”腕”を確認しとく必要があるっすね・・・！！
I guess I've yet to see what he can do!!!

Rosary: ねぇねぇぼっちゃ・・・ま？
Hey, little mas-
ter?


Page 06

Buzz: ネコ②♡
K- kitty kitty

Rosary: またぼっちゃまはフラフラと・・・
Sir, there you go wandering off again...

ガララララ
*garararara*

Rosary: ぼっちゃまっ！！！
Sir!!!


Page 07

Pare: イテテ・・・
Ouch...

Pare: あっぶね〜、大丈夫？あんた
God, that was close
Hey, you ok?


Page 08

Pare: あそこの街道は乗合馬車の幹線道路になってっからさ・・・往来がかなり激しいんだ
That road's pretty busy with all the carriages passing it
ぼやぼやしてっと轢かれちまうぜ！！
If you don't look out, you'd get run over!!

Pare: 見たとこあんたらも旅人だろ
Judging from your looks, you're travelers too right?
オレはパレってんだ・・・あんたらは？
I'm Pare... And you guys?

Buzz: ぼ・・・ぼくはバズ・メディルっていいます。こっちは従者のロザリィさ・・・ロザリィです
I- I'm Buzz Medill
And this is my assistant, Rosary-sa... I mean, Rosary

Rosary: まことにかたじけないっす！！ここのメシ代はうちらのオゴリっすから！！
I really can't thank you enough!!
Please, the food's on us!!
（深々！！）
*bow*

Buzz: あの・・・ホントにありがとうございました
Umm... thank you very much
危ないとこを助けてもらっちゃって・・・
for saving me like that...

Pare: はっはっは！！いいって②！！
Hahaha!! Hey, no worries!!


Page 09

Pare: 助けんのは当然さ・・・なんせおれは人の命を救う仕事目指してんだからよ！！
It's only natural that I help you
After all, my future career's gonna be in saving lives!!
*don*

Pare: ん？何？ききたい？おれが目指してる職業きいてみたい？
Hmm? Interested?
You wanna know what I'm gonna be?

Buzz: は・・・はぁ
O- ok...

Rosary: うわ、ウゼー
Man, what an ass

Pare: 外科医！！おれはサレルノに行って外科医の修行をするんだ！！
A surgeon!!
I'm gonna go to Salerno to study it!!


Page 10

Pare: 今の時代医者と言やぁ”内科医”。外科医はいわゆるフツーの医者よりかなり低いランクに思われてんだろ？
In this age, people think of internal medicine as the way of doctors
And you know how surgeons are considered much lower-ranking than those physicians right?
けどそりゃまちがいだぜ！！
But that's a big mistake!!

Pare: 考えてもみろよ・・・内科医は薬くれたり指示出したりするだけだけど
Think about it... Physicians can only give you medicine and tell you what to do
外科医は実際に患者に触れて治すだろ？
but surgeons have to cure the patient by actually touching them right?

Pare: 外科医の方が”命”の近くにいるんだ！！
So surgeons have a greater role in saving lives!!

Buzz, Rosary: *nod nod*

シャリっ *crunch*

Pare: おれの兄貴は・・・傭兵として戦争に出てそこで大ケガ負っちまってさ
My brother... He went to war as a mercenary
and got injured badly

Text (Pare): 脚を切断するハメになったんだけど・・・治療にあたった外科医がとんだヤブ医者で
They had to amputate his leg... But the surgeon in charge was a total quack
手術失敗して死んじまった・・・
The surgery failed and my brother died...


Page 11

Pare: 兄貴みたいな患者を出さねーためにも
I don't want others to suffer his fate and so

Pare: 俺が腕のいい外科医になって！！バンバン人を救うんだ！！
I'm gonna be a great surgeon
and save tons of lives!!

Buzz: わ・・・わかりますパレさんの気持ち・・・すごくわかりますっ
I- I understand
how you feel, Pare-san... really

Pare: おっ！！そうかい？
Oh, yeah?

Buzz: す、すごいグーゼンですけど・・・僕も実は一人前の外科医を目指してるんです・・・
I- it's such a coincidence but you see
I wanna be a great surgeon too...

Pare:
Hahahaha!!!


Page 12

Pare:
Hey Buzz... You know what it takes to be a good surgeon?
Strong arms; Strong arms my friend!!

Pare:
Surgeons don't cut vegetables you know? They deal with human limbs and all!!
And they have to operate quickly... If they take too long the patients die

Pare:
To do that you need some muscles!! It's just not the job for a weak guy like you
Just forget
it?!!

Pare:
Wh- what was that for Rosary?!!

Rosary:
Shut up!!
Don't make fun of him!!!

Buzz:
Ro... Rosary!!

Pare:
... You're right, I'm sorry Buzz
It's true; It's for you to decide, not me

(Buzz: Haha...)


Page 13

Pare:
So good luck to both of us in becoming great surgeons!!
See ya!!!
(What a strong kid)
*thumbs up*

Rosary:
Hmph

Rosary:
What's his problem?! The ass
How dare he about the Medill Family...!!

Buzz:
B- but
I'm happy...

Buzz:
Pare-san understood
what it means to be a surgeon....


Page 14

Crowd:
"First class heretic"
"A ripper claiming to be a surgeon"

Crowd:
"Buzz Medill Asklepios"

Pare:
No...

Rosary:
C'mon sir!!
Stay right behind me!!


Page 15

Rosary:
This is the street Pare mentioned before
So let's make sure you don't get run over this time...

Rosary:
Pa- Pare...?

Pare:
I saw your poster...
You guys were lying to me...

Pare:
"I wanna be a great surgeon"?! What a joke!!
You guys are criminals
tainting the name of surgeons!!!


Page 16

Buzz:
P- Pare-san!!
You're wrong...

Pare:
Now that I know, I can't let you be
I'm turning you over to the church!!

Rosary:
If that's what you intend
You better be prepared cuz I'm not holding back...!!!

Buzz:
Ro- Rosary
W- wait...

Kid:
Heeey
Wait!!

Pare:
Hey!!

*Gararara*


Page 20

Crowd:
A man was run over!!!
Call the doctor!!!

Buzz:
P- Pare-san...

Text (Pare):
What? No....

Page 19

Text (Pare):
This can't be
Tell me it's not real!!

Text (Pare):
I can't
be a surgeon anymore...!!!

Doctor:
Hey... Let me through!!

Crowd:
Doctor!!

Doctor:
It's only connected by a layer of skin... I can't fix it
Someone, call the barber-surgeon for an amputation

Text:
In the past, in Europe the barber was also a surgeon
Hence the term "barber-surgeon"!!


Page 20

Buzz:
I-
I'll
do the... surgery...

Doctor:
Wh- what're you saying?!
There's no way a skinny kid like you could do an amputation!!!

Pare:
I'm gonna be a great surgeon
and save tons of lives!!

Buzz:
I- I'm not amputating

Buzz:
I'll reconnect his arm...!!!


Page 21

Text (Rosary):
At last, I can see it with my own eyes...

Text:
That day, at night -- In the village inn

Text (Rosary):
The little master's skill...!!

Rosary:
...Sir
are you sure you can do this?

*clench*

Buzz:
I- in a normal amputation

Buzz:
The ends of the broken bones are cut clean...
Then the free skin wrapped over like a sack and the wound closed...
But...

Step 1: Ends cut
Step 2: Shaping of skin flap
Step 3: Sewn close


Page 22

Buzz:
But when there was little compression damage
and the cut clean
Dad could reconnect it...

Buzz:
Of course, it's the first for me but

Buzz:
I've seen how it's done...!!!


Page 23

Father:
Once the radius and ulna are put together
starting from the flexor digitorum superficialis, reconnect the superficial muscles

Father:
Don't tie the large arteries... Just apply pressure with your fingers
Otherwise you'd cause more cell death

Father:
2 bones, 9 muscles and the countless vessels, nerves and tendons
Repair the damage of each one of these
and the arm would be connected...!!!

Rosary:
He changed the moment he started the surgery...
I can't believe this is only his 2nd!!

Rosary:
Little master, I can see it...


Page 24

Text (Rosary):
I can see the Master in you...!!!

Buzz:
Rosary... Please get the curare

Buzz:
The bones and muscles have been reconnected
Now we proceed to the skin...


Page 25

Rosary:
Yes sir
I'll get the phenol bandages ready

Buzz:
Ro- Rosary...

Buzz:
To tell you the truth
Dad never told me about the Byblos and such...
So I don't know much about it...

Buzz:
So I can't say much about knowing
what it means to be an Asklepios
or talk of the honour of the Medills


Page 26

Buzz:
But... when I finished operating on you, Rosary
I thought...

Buzz:
I thought that if there're people I can save,
I'd want to save them all

Buzz:
Really, that's all
That's all I feel...


Page 27

Buzz:
I- I'm sorry I don't really know
how to say it...

Text (Rosary):
Little master, you're undoubtedly

Rosary:
...It's ok

Text (Rosary):
your father's son...!!!

Rosary:
It's enough
to understand


Page 28

*twitch*

Pare:
You guys are criminals
tainting the name of surgeons!!!

Pare:
I was such
an idiot...


Page 29

Rosary:
C'mon sir!! Let's get going!!
We can safely leave Pare to the village doctor!!

Buzz:
B- but there's no need to hurry

Rosary:
Wrong! They've got those posters all over the place!!
So let's go!!!

Buzz:
Rosary... Why do you seem so happy?
What happened?

Rosary:
Nothing~

Pare:
Rather than practising under a surgeon
I'll learn more watching those guys
Yeah!!
(Ouch...)

Text:
Pare's strong passion rings clear!
And with this new addition, what awaits them all ahead?!
