Now I'll tell you about Rouwen the Mana Sorcerer's daily job...

Fujiwara Sato

The first non-serialized story in Blood

P2
1. Phone>> Is this Rouwen?
1. Phone>> It's likely that someone is misusing the Mana in Colret.
2. Phone>> You're close to that place, so I want you to go there at once
2. Rouwen> Huh? Right now!?
2. Rouwen> I haven't had a meal-
2. Phone>> I'll hear no complain! Quick! Be on your way!
3. OOB>>>> I was told off
3. Rouwen> Yes//I'm going there now.
4. SFX>>>> Click

P3
1. Box>>>> Southeast of Colret Town
2. Rouwen> I-
2. OOB>>>> Huff
2. OOB>>>> Huff
2. Rouwen> I'm here...
3. Rouwen> Meat...
4. OOB>>>> Meat?

P4
1. Minir>> Doctor,//is he alright?
2. Doc>>>> Yeah
3. Doc>>>> He's simply starving.
5. Rouwen> I'm sorry for the trouble
5. OOB>>>> Bon appétit
5. Doc>>>> Don't be//It's just a humble meal

P5
1. Rouwen> Thank you so much! I haven't eaten anything since morning...
1. Doc>>>> Haha//True, it's hard to walk on a slopy road when you're starving.
2. Doc>>>> Are you a traveler?
3. Doc>>>> Nevertheless... <that appearance is...>
4. Rouwen> Aah, sorry for the late introduction.
4. Rouwen> I'm investigating various places with mana.//I'm called Rouwen, a Mana Investigator.
6. Doc>>>> Investigator...

P6
1. Rouwen> To prevent Earth's destruction,
1. Rouwen> the organization of Mana Investigators is established...
2. Doc>>>> I've heard the rumours,//yet, it's the first time I meet one.
2. Rouwen> The first one you meet was dying in the street...
3. ???>>>> Sensei, are you here?
4. Doc>>>> Oh no,//I have work to do throughout this afternoon.
4. OOB>>>> Thanks for the meal
4. Rouwen> Ah
5. Rouwen> I also have my investigation.//Then, please excuse me...
5. OOB>>>> Sensei, a guest for you...
5. Rouwen> I'm sorry for the rush.

P7
1. Doc>>>> I'm Cresson,//I work as the physician in here.
1. OOB>>>> Pardon me for not introducing myself
1. Doc>>>> Do come visit if something happened.
2. Rouwen> Thanks//I'm indebted to you
3. SFX>>>> tap
4. Rouwen> Ng?
5. Minir>> Doctor,//I...
5. Rouwen> Oh?
5. Minir>> I will guide Mr. Rouwen around the town.
6. Doc>>>> Hey, Minir!
6. Minir>> I'm still allowed to go out around this time, aren't I?
7. Guest>> She looks lively today.
7. OOB>>>> Give me a break here.
7. Doc>>>> Too lively! It's worrisome.

P8
1. Rouwen> I thought you shouldn't have done this, but...
1. Rouwen> You are a big help
2. Minir>> "I have been a doctor for a long time,//but it's the first time I saw someone's dying in the street", he said <then he laughed>
2. OOB>>>> I was laughed off
3. Minir>> Still, Doctor Cresson is loved by towns people.//His skill is remarkable.
3. Rouwen> Yeah, he looks so kind.//He must be a good doctor.
4. Minir>> Yes!
5. Minir>> And so,
6. Minir>> To which part of the town I should guide you?
7. Rouwen> Alright...

P9
1. Minir>> This is it!//The biggest tree in the town!
2. Rouwen> Wow...//What a fine tree!
3. Minir>> How are you going to examine such tree?
4. Rouwen> Mana resides in big trees//They will tell us if there are seeds which spread mischief
4. Minir>> Seed?
5. Rouwen> Among seeds//there are the benign ones and the malignant ones...
5. Rouwen> Well,

P10
1. Rouwen> For example,
1. Rouwen> This one
2. Minir>> ? <A seed...>
4. Rouwen> Ordinary greeneries which grow in the wild are benign
4. Minir>> Amazing! It's like a magic!
4. OOB>>>> Ah
4. Rouwen> You are unfamiliar with Mana Sorcerer's ability, aren't you?
5. Minir>> Mana Sorcerer?

P11
1. Rouwen> They could restore withered greeneries and make flower blossoms from the seed, like what I did just now.
1. Rouwen> Bearing the power of mana,//they are able to pull out the special power which lies dormant within plants.
2. Rouwen> That's what//a Mana Sorcerer is.
3. OOB>>>> It's an amazing ability
3. Rouwen> Such ability is common among the investigators... Oh well, you'll understand it sooner or later...

P12
1. Rouwen> The thing about the malignant seeds,
1. Rouwen> they kill the surrounding grass and roots,
2. Rouwen> and serve as the cause of the destruction.//To remove and purify them are also our duty, but...
2. OOB>>>> Not quite understand
2. Minir>> Ngg?
2. Rouwen> the Mana is stabil here.//This is a good soil.
3. Rouwen> Is there really a Mana's misuse here...?
3. OOB>>>> Hmm?
3. OOB>>>> Hey, let's play...
4. Rouwen> I don't understand
4. OOB>>>> What's the game?
4. OOB>>>> You're ditching the work already!?
5. Minir>> Ah

P13
2. Rouwen> Are you okay?
2. Minir>> Yes.
3. Minir>> Just my usual anemia...//I'll be okay soon. Don't worry.
4. Rouwen> At any rate, let's go back to the clinic.
4. Minir>> Okay...

P14
1. Doc>>>> I'm sorry you have to escort her back here
1. Rouwen> It's okay.
2. Rouwen> This girl...//Is she suffering from a severe illness?
2. Doc>>>> Yes...
3. Doc>>>> Both of her parents have already passed away,//and she has no relatives, so I decided to look after her.
3. Doc>>>> But it appears that she has already fallen ill at that time
4. Doc>>>> I know some people who died from the very disease.
4. Doc>>>> Even if it's just her,//I want to help her recover with my ability.

P15
3. OOB>>>> A moment, please.
3. Doc>>>> Hmm... If I recall correctly, I have a tuna sandwich...
3. Rouwen> P-p-p-please don't mind me!! <I just can't help it>
4. Rouwen> I'm indebted to you again.
4. Doc>>>> Well, well.//You have a big appetite despite your slender figure.//Just be careful not to collapse again, okay.
4. OOB>>>> Heh heh
4. Rouwen> I got laughed off
4. Rouwen> Thanks.
5. Rouwen> Well then,//please give my regards to Minir too.
5. Doc>>>> Sure.

P16
1. Minir> Doctor.
2. Doc>>> If you're looking for Rouwen, he has already return to his job.
2. Minir> Doctor
2. Doc>>> Ng?
3. Minir> He said he's a Mana Sorcerer.
3. SFX>>> *clack*
4. Minir> He made a flower blossomed before my own eyes
4. Doc>>> I see...//Good for you.
5. Doc>>> Here. Drink your medicine,//and rest for a while.
6. Minir> Yes.

P17
1. Madam>> Yes?//Malignancy? No, I don't know.
2. Lady>>> Who knows?
2. Lady>>> This is a peaceful town after all.
3. Rouwen> I've been asking all the people I met,//but there's no clue at all.
3. Rouwen> Well, I don't think I'll find it easily from the start.
4. Rouwen> Once again,
4. Rouwen> let's go back to the place Minir has led me before.

P18
1. Rouwen>> The sun is setting, huh?
2. Rouwen>> That child//she was very lively before.
3. Rouwen>> Mr. Cresson has taken care of her, so I could relax now...
4. Thought> The Mana is reacting...!?
6. Rouwen>> This is...

P19
1. Rouwen> Cresson!!
1. Rouwen> Dr. Cresson!!
2. Doc>>>> What's happened?
2. Rouwen> Please let me see Minir.
2. Doc>>>> She's sleeping right now...
3. Rouwen> She caught a malignant type of mana in her body
4. Rouwen> It influenced the flower she touched before
4. Rouwen> If we don't quickly remove it from her,//she might lose her life...

P20
2. Doc>>>> I don't have any resentment toward you.
2. Doc>>>> Forgive me,//it's all for money.
4. Rouwen> Could it be,
4. Rouwen> You are...

P21
1. Doc>>>> As a Mana Investigator, moreover a Mana Sorcerer...//I have to praise you to find it out this fast.
1. Rouwen> Uuugh...
1. Doc>>>> Nonetheless,
2. Doc>>>> you're a bit late.
3. Doc>>>> Wonderful...
4. Doc>>>> This is a malignant Mana seed.

P22
1. Rouwen> If it enters someone's body, it will grow by using the blood as the source of moisture.//Before long, a flower will pierce through the body and a beautiful jewel-like seed will appear
1. Rouwen> I hear that there are people who're willing to buy that seed at a high price...
2. Rouwen> Some shady guild has been collecting them...
2. Rouwen> however, this isn't something that an amateur could handle
3. Doc>>>> So you can heal yourself, huh?//It seems I have done an unecessary thing.
3. Rouwen> You,//do you understand what you have done to Minir?
4. Doc>>>> Using a patient that won't live long,
4. Doc>>>> what's wrong with that?
5. Rouwen> I can't imagine such words came from a doctor...

P23
4. Doc> Wha!?

P24
1. Doc>>>>> Waaaaa!!
3. Thought> What a large amount of medicine...!
4. Thought> Could it be...the seed is growing wildly because of them!?
5. Thought> It grows at a remarkable rate!!
5. Rouwen>> Damn! Like this, he will also...
6. Rouwen>> It seems I have no choice but to destroy the body...!

P25
1. Thought> Minir...
3. Thought> She's alive!
5. Rouwen>> Ugh!

P26
1. Rouwen> Minir!!!
2. Rouwen> This land's Mana...
2. Rouwen> lend me
3. Rouwen> your power...!

P28
3. Minir>> zzz...
4. Rouwen> Thanks God...

P29
1. Rouwen>> It's hurrrttts!!!
3. Rouwen>> Noaaaaaaaaaahh!
3. Doc>>>>> Cough!
3. Doc>>>>> Cough!
4. Rouwen>> It's freaking hurrttss!!!
4. OOB>>>>> collapse
4. OOB>>>>> Uooohh
5. SFX>>>>> tap
6. Thought> If I sell this, I'll be able to leave this town for good...
6. SFX>>>>> grip

P30
2. Rouwen> Do you think I'll let you go!?
3. Doc>>>> Waaaaa!!
3. SFX>>>> drop

P31
3. Rouwen> Phew...
3. Rouwen> If it wasn't for the wooden floor,
4. Rouwen> I might have lost you.
4. OOB>>>> Too bad
5. Phone>> Well done

P32
1. Phone>> The culprit is a doctor//After that, I turned him to the police. So, relax.
2. Rouwen> He seemed to be a nice person, though...
3. Rouwen> I'm sending you the written report now//I think it'll reach you within a week
3. OOB>>>> Please~
3. OOB>>>> Good work
3. Phone>> Yes, please do so.
4. Phone>> And then,
4. Rouwen> Yes?
4. Phone>> How's the child?
5. Rouwen> Well...

P33
1. Rouwen> I made sure she get a proper medical care.//She's doing very well now.
1. Rouwen> It seems she moved to eastern,//to live with her relatives. (T/N: This is a bit confusing because Cresson said she has no relatives, but I assume he was lying then)
2. Rouwen> "Will you take me as your wife in the future?", she said
2. OOB>>>> Mr. Rouwen <3
2. OOB>>>> Ten years from now might be a good time?
2. Phone>> I see. Congratulations.
3. OOB>>>> I got carried away
3. Phone>> Then,
4. Phone>> about your next assignment...
4. Rouwen> Wha-!? My wound still haven't recovered!! I get no day-offs!?
5. Rouwen> I still haven't had a meal-
5. Phone>> Depart at once!
6. Rouwen> Roger...

P34
1. Minir> Ma'am. I'm going to fetch the water, okay?
1. Woman> Alright,//be careful on your way.
3. Minir> Huh?
3. OOB>>> And then, their relationship continues.....?
4. Sand>> Meat
4. Minir> A déjà vu?
5. Boxes> FIN
