Here.

Care to explain all the blood bags?

Well, I do some volunteer medical work in the slums, which means the people there are willing to hear me out.

They were willing to give their blood when I told them you needed it for their research.

Oh, and I cleared up the rumors about you while I was at it.

Is this enough for your research?

Plenty.

I've also logged the records, following the sample that you gave me for reference.

Here's the logbook.

...Very good. Very good indeed.

Will you train me in medicine now?

I never thought I would encounter a woman who's not only after my own heart, but one who can also do the things I can't.

If only I had met you earlier! I would never have had to worry a lack of samples.

You can count on me!

I've made up my mind, Gavial.

Let's travel together and study the blood of Oripathy patients in different places.

You'll collect the blood, and I'll study it.

I'll teach you everything about medicine that I know.

Awesome!

Where exactly do you think you are going, Warfarin?

K—Kal'tsit?!

How did you find this place?!

I had already zeroed in on this area as your likely hiding spot.

Then I heard about a doctor talking about another Vampire doctor treating patients.

Let's just say it wasn't hard.

I forgot how well-connected you are.

You've been away from your post for three months.

I mean, I've been sending back my research reports on a monthly basis! It's not like I've been doing nothing.

There are certain things that require your physical presence.

It's time for you to come back.

Who are you?

My name is Kal'tsit, Warfarin's colleague. I'm here to bring her back. What about you?

I'm Gavial. Doctor Gavial!

Warfarin said she'd train me in medicine if I helped her.

Are you taking her away? But we were just about to set out—

Yes! Gavial and I were about to set out on a journey!

Construction has begun on the blood bank that you requested. You said you wanted to supervise it personally, didn't you?

What?!

You should have told me earlier! I would have gone back so long ago!

Looks like our travel plans are going on hold, Gavial.

B—But what do I do?

Sorry...

What is this place you two are talking about?

It's called Rhodes Island. It's a pharmaceutical company dedicated to the treatment of Oripathy.

Are there a lot of people like Warfarin who can teach me more about medicine there?!

Of course.

Can I come with you if Warfarin's going back?

Now there's an idea. This one's a special talent, Kal'tsit, I guarantee it.

Did you collect all these blood bags by yourself?

Yes.

This logbook...

Hey, when did that end up in your hands?

Let me see... very detailed data, accompanied by appropriate comments and summaries.

There is an entrance test you'll have to take, but you'll quality for a clerical position on the strength of this logbook alone.

But I want to learn medicine!

You'll have no shortage of opportunities if you come to Rhodes Island.

Before that, though, I have a question for you.

Why do you want to join Rhodes Island?

Because I want to cure everyone of Oripathy!

Welcome aboard, Gavial.
