There's manga here?!

[This revelation has made Roji's day.]

[magicwarding]

Yep! [He is totally serious.]

[action]

[goggle_syndrome]

Uh...no offense, dude, but why?

[action]

[magicwarding]

Because ghosts are a serious problem in my world! Lots of people go missing because of them. And ever since I was little, I've wanted to help save people from them.

You make it sound like ghosts are just roaming around for no reason.

[action]

[magicwarding]

Oh, they're not. And most of the time it's okay. But when they're attacking the living, it's a crime.

[action]

[goggle_syndrome]

What makes them attack though?

[action]

[magicwarding]

As time passes, a ghost loses its human mind and sanity. It can't help but attack at that point, even if its intentions are good. We ensure if that is the case, it gets sent to heaven.

[He sighs.] I wish it didn't have to be like that though. I've met some very kind ghosts, but even they eventually lost it.

You job sounds really depressing...can't you get someone else to do it?

[action]

[magicwarding]

While it can be sad, at the same time I find joy in the fact that I've helped many people. Heck, even when helping ghosts move on feels good.

I kinda feel like I was fated to have this as a job. I can't see myself doing anything else.

I guess I can understand that. It's kind of like how I can't see myself not being a Chosen now that it's all happened. It's just a part of everyday life now. How long did you say you've been doing this?
