《Parallel World Pharmacy》


 Volume 1 - Prologue

    In the dimensional gap of endless deep space, where life once struggled to exist, no living beings knew that ce.


    In that infinite expanse lies a graveyard, guarded by an unnamed grave keeper, dead people sleep within the tombstone endlessly.


    One day, the grave keeper chose one grave among the sleeping dead .


    The grave keeper pulled out the memory core from the tombstone, established the space-time that it should return to, and threw it out into space. It flew off into the cosmos far, far away, and struck a boy on a certain, who had died of a lightning strike in broad daylight .


    The boys heart began to beat again. The grave keeper even sent the personal effects of the dead person to rest beside the boy,


    The core of the dead person assimted with the core of the boys body who wasnt ready for death , and the union of consciousness began.


    Falmas pulse, it hadpletely stopped. But now, I can feel it.


    He heard a young womans voice after his sense of hearing was connected. The voice was trembling.


    So was he revived?!


    This time, it was the substantially rough voice of a man. The conversation between these two people with unfamiliar voices became gradually clear.


    His vision was still inessible.


    A strong damp wind blew off the dust that was on his skin.


    The distant thunder reverberated eerily.


    (What. happened to me?)


    &nsbp;


    He was a young pharmacologist living in Japan in the year 20XX C.E.


    He was an excellent researcher, who always stayed overnight at the University Laboratory to do nothing but research. He had a clear headed and enthusiastic personality, eagerly researched until sess, and sent out new medicine for incurable diseases one after another. His results were known throughout the world; people all over the world have high expectations of his sess.


    He made a name for himself while still young and lived a fast life.


    Time is not enough, he wanted to create a world where no one would suffer from illness.


    He wanted to heal more and more people.


    A reckless type of young pharmacologist, burning with idealism.


    He wanted to deliver the new medicines to the patient even just by a second earlier in a day. With the medicine that he made, he wanted to eliminate all kinds of pestilence and diseases on earth.


    It was a struggle that he bet his life on.


    However, halfway to achieving his dream, his struggle met a disappointing end.


    Because he was immersed in his research day and night, his body reached its limit.


    The cause of death wasAcute Myocardial Infarction, a typical result of overworking.


    Thus, before long he vaguely remembered his death.


    This fresh life, in the noisy storm that had passed, had started when he fell clumsily andy down. Its the spring of 1145 of True Era.


    Master Falma! Hold on! This is Lotte, please hold on!


    Again, he heard the unfamiliar voice of a girl. The girl was crying while shouting and shaking him.


    (Who is Falma?)


    He wondered while struggling with an unfamiliar pain.


    Master Falma!


    (This ispletely a mistaken identity)


    He was lifted by several people and was carried.


    - Falma de Mdicis, A boy who is an apprentice to a Royal Court Apothecary.


    This man, who was originally a pharmacologist in Japan in his previous existence, that died from overworking, was living a fast life and didnt work in moderation

 Volume 1 - Ch 1

    The information came bit by bit.


    The room was made of stone and the ceiling was low.


    A red tapestry hung on the stone wall.


    The window was small and dim even though its daytime.


    There was a firece in the back of the room. In it, firewood was crackling as it burned.


    Heid on the bed covered in rustling bed sheet, it smelled like straw.


    He was perplexed as to where the heck this European style building was he carried to actually was.


    There, there


    Where is this?


    He asked the girl while feeling ufortable.


    Falma-sama, you were hit by a lightning! Do you not remember?


    She moved in close to his face as she looked at him with great worry. She looked to about 10 years old, with her angelic smile pointing towards me.


    She wore a simple dress with a white apron over it. Her beautiful, glossy, pinkish gold long hair drops down to her shoulders. A beautiful girl with blues eyes that drew you in had a white headdress demurely ced on top of her head.


    He thought it was cosy, but his impression said that itcked imagination.


    He tried to get up quickly, but his muscles where weak and did not allow for it


    No, actually I cant clearly remember.. Who are you?


    When the girl heard that, her smile disappeared, reced with a sad face.


    Did you mean that you have forgotten about me? It seems you were struck by an unusual blue bolt of lightning.


    Im sorry, it seems to be. I might have gotten amnesia


    She then cleared her throat, straightened her face, lifted a little bit the hem of her skirt, and did acurtsy.


    Well then, I will introduce myself once again. Im your servant, Charlotte. Please call me Lotte as usual. Along with my mother who was summoned by Master, we have been serving you in this mansion since you were a child. Ask us for anything Falma-san


    It seems the mother and child work together in this mansion as live-in employees. He thought about it, but shouldnt he bring this kid to the police because of childbor? Falma-sama was called out the second time. Because he was called out many times, he was finally aware.


    Falma? Me?


    (What is that, a name for some kind of pharmaceuticalpany?)


    His mood became sensitive. He wondered if thats just a nickname given by her.


    Yes, you are Falma de Mdicis-sama


    de Mdicis.


    He remembered thatMediciwas a french sounding family name that ruled medieval Florence. You generally wouldnt make a mistake of that with someone who has a Japanese face. Then it dawned on him.


    Would you show me a mirror?


    Perhaps it might not be a mistaken identity, he had a bad feeling about that.


    Ill bring it now


    It was obvious that his body was differed from his former self, even without looking at the mirror. The hands and arms he saw were too small. No matter how he looked at it, they appeared to belong to a kid. Not to mention that the race wasnt even the same, in the first ce


    Whaa!


    When he looked into the small hand mirror, what he saw was a Caucasian boy with blond hair, blue eyes, and a goofy face.


    This is impossible!


    When he said that, he told his body to rise up from the bed and it listened, he then looked out of the window.


    What filled his view was a foreign town resembling those of medieval Europe. And extending outside the window were people who wore old-fashioned clothes,ing and going. A lively marketce. The sound of bellsing from the bell tower filled the air.


    He wasbbergasted, his mouth wide open.


    Lotte lightly tapped him on the back as she became worried with him in a daze.


    Are you okay?


    Im sorry, Im feeling slightly unwell.


    (Given that this is not a dream, was I reborn, then?)


    But he doesnt believe in an unscientific phenomenon such as reincarnation, but now that the affected person is himself, he might believe it.


    (I wonder how I died. Could it be Could it be death from overworking?)


    Although it didnt ur to him how he died, death from overworking was the first thing thates to his mind. His working hours were exploitative. It surpassed the limits of flex time or unpaid overtime.


    When he calmly calcted his working hours, he came up with over 20 hours a day. Because of that, he had been living in a sleeping bag in a corner of theboratory. Although ming the workce is like barking at the wrong tree. He himself chose to be exploited at work, hobby = work was the mindset of what was once a workaholic person.


    He died.


    And he was reborn. Considering it a good thing, he resigned himself to ept it. He thought so, but.


    (Impossible! This cant be good!)


    Nevertheless, he never gave up the sliver of hope that this was just a dream.


    (I beg of you, make this a dream! I still havent put together a thesis on the data the I had left behind!)


    Because of the condition of his previous life, he was rolling in regret.


    He remembered whats called a reality check. There is a way to check if the phenomenon or event that urs right there and then is in a dream or not. He held his breath. It doesnt hurt when youre in a dream, and you can continue to live. But after one minute, he coughed it out grandly.


    Fwaa! Gehoo, Gehoo


    He, who dangerously stopped breathing, saw the girl cutting in.


    What are you doing? Seems like you are having fun ying


    Lotte stared at him nkly, and showed him a carefree smile. This servant child had an impression that was well acquainted with rtively tragic circumstances.


    No, I was not ying. Though it would seem so


    (This world is real? Did the lightning strike restored the memories of my previous life?)


    As he unintentionally became perplexed, the girls hand held on to his arm. It was then he noticed it, both of his arms were wrapped in bandages.


    What this?


    Ah, Falma-sama! You shouldnt move suddenly, doesnt it hurt?


    He unwrapped the bandage, his arm was coated with a dark red ointment. He wiped off the ointment with the bandage, the painful lookingkeloid ran from his shoulder to his upper arm,burnt by the lightnings electric current. Both arms.


    Lotte covered her mouth with both hands, her pale blue eyes widening upon seeing the scar. She made a sign of prayer towards the wound.


    Your scar from the lightning Looks like the Crest of the Holy God of Medicine. I guess the Medicine God protected you


    The scar of the lightning strike, I think when the lightning crawled and burned my skin, it made aLichtenberg pattern


    Yes?


    Hmmmm, no.


    Since Lotte looked puzzled with a smile on her face, he paraphrased it as The scar made by the lightning However she believed that it was a holy symbol granted by the Holy God of Medicine. She said its for a person to survive a lightning strike.


    (Well, certainly it is so)


    Because she had devout faith, his inelegant words were spoken ambiguously


    And so he learned that its safer to just conceal the scar that resembles the Medicine Gods brand.


    Ah, thats right, I brought some delicious sweets. Please have some! It will also calm you


    Lotte ced beside him something like a wafer and an empty silver cup.


    Thanks for the food. How about you?


    I couldnt possibly! The master should not give such expensive things to their servants, and should just leave them as they were.


    Even though she said that, Lotte looks like her drool will drip down any moment. Her feelings seems to have been reflected on obedient face.


    You dont have to decline, you need to fill up your stomach


    Uuu, do you really mean in it, Falma-sama?! Really mean it?!Then, thanks for the food!


    Sweets are expensive in this world, so servants cannot easily taste them. Thats why Lotte was really delighted when he said that.


    You want to eat one more?


    Ah *ulp*, no way!Are you sure? Absolutely?


    Yes, yes, absolutely


    Because she ate with great relish, he gave her more than half. Just looking at the situation, it became an escape from reality and his mind was healed


    My cheeks seems to melt away. Ah, Falma-sama, Im getting thirsty. Will you use a Divine Art like before?Can I have the water you make? The water that Falma-sama produces isvery delicious


    Lotte pleaded to Falma while holding out a humble wooden cup towards him.


    What? Divine Art?! Water?


    His voice almost squeaked. He was reincarnated from a different person, there was no way for him to gain the knowledge about this world other than to live in it. He thought that he had to y along with her, but he doesnt know what he doesnt know.


    Falma-sama is a master of the Divine Art of Water. No way? did you forget about the Divine Art?


    Although that was supposed to be his specialty. Her face then momentarily turned pale.


    Seems like that being able to use Divine Arts was the proof of being a noble.


    So, what would happen to me if I cant use it?


    I do not want to even think about it, but


    If he was not able to use Divine Arts any more, he wouldnt be recognized as a noble. His father would disinherit him, and hed be chased out of the mansion as amoner.


    Ill keep it a secret! I know nothing! This is a favor for receiving the sweets! A, a great amount of gratitude!


    Lotte waves both hands as she kept her eyes closed.


    If you bear that much gratitude. Will you leave me alone for a little bit? I will try to remember the Divine Art


    Rather than saying that he wants to remember, he just wants to be left alone.


    Thats right. Please slowly recuperate


    To invoke the creation of water, she told him he must imagine the form of the water in his mind, it will surge and pool from the hands. She left the room as saying shed finish theundry and go shopping.


    He would be exposed to the everyone if he couldnt use Divine Arts. Hed be driven out of the mansion, with no food and would probably die a miserable death.


    In this world, something like that was possible.


    If hed ever be expelled from the mansion, he must set himself up with work before going out in the cold. If all else fails, he had no choice but to go join the war, Falma got depressed just thinking about it.


    Therefore he decided to deal with recovering the Divine Arts.


    Water.!


    He concentrated his attention on both hands, which were above the wooden bowl and imagined water in his mind.


    Water.


    He was a pharmacologist is Japan, he had deep understanding of water molecules.


    He fully understood the elemental form, energy state diagram, and even the spin states.


    However, what could that knowledge be used for?


    (Its no use huh?)


    He felt like a great deal of time had passed


    Then his blood flow was getting warm and an unusual phenomenon was uring on his arms scar.


    He realized the scar was emitting a strong bluish-white color, an intense neon light shot out.


    (What is this luminescence?)


    Nervous and surprised, sweat was oozing out of both Falmas hands.


    But the amount was too big for it to be just sweat.


    Sweat.. no its different. Water! Its Water!?


    Water gushed out and didnt stop. Rather thaning from his body, he felt like its calling out a power of a different dimension. He doesnt want to flood the room, so he stuck his hands outside the window beside him in panic. At the same time he felt some relief as water gushed out like a fountain.


    Stop, stop, STOOOP! Stop it!


    Lotte didnt told him how to stop it. When he imagined the water turning offpletely, the production of water had stopped.


    Fu


    He took a big sigh.


    Falma-samaaaa!


    A soprano voice can be heard from outside. When he looked down out of the window, he saw Lotte looking up and waving at him in an herb field.


    Its water, does that mean you remembered it?!


    Sorry, you got wet?


    I got wet! Its refreshing ~ I like it!


    Because it rained, she was spared her daily work of watering the herbs. And so Lotteughed.


    What a relief..


    Thus, he recovered his Divine Art of Water.

 Volume 1 - Ch 2

    However. What kind of fundamental theory exists in this world?


    Falma pulled his face back from the window as soon as he realized there was a possibility that thews of physics were different for this parallel world.


    Even with this ability, am I only able to do water?


    He quietly stared at the hands that didnt seem to even belong to him. For some reason, as long as he was able to visualize the molecr structure of water he would actually be able to produce it.


    Could I make any otherpounds if I could imagine the arrangement?


    He sent an image to the silver cup as he poured some power that he used not long ago into it. The cup then received thepound and began to darken immediately.


    It was proof that sulfide reacted with silver.


    So it is possible, but this is bad. It darkened


    It will cause trouble for Lotte if the silverware was stained. Depending on the circumstances, she could very well be used ofpoisoning him.


    Disappear, disappear! He said casually as he polished the silver with the hem of his clothes.


    The sulfide in the cup vanished and silvers luster returned. It did not fade away when he wiped it. It just vanished spontaneously.


    The substance actually disappeared Is it really possible to remove it?


    He repeated the process several more times to confirm his suspicion.


    Instead of a hazardous substance, he decided to create sugar this time, and then licked it. It was sweet.


    Next he created table salt and licked it too. It was salty


    He then made a lump of iron and licked it. It had a strong iron taste.


    The pure gold ingot was soft and his teeth left marks in it when he bit it.


    He kept testing the ability in myriad different ways, but the end result was the same. He could create any substance he wanted by sending an image of how it was arranged to his hands.


    The skill was limited though, he couldnt create a chemicalpound that he wasnt able to clearly imagine or ones that were tooplex.


    Whatever he made with his left hand, could be erased by his right hand.


    The left hand creates, and the right hand destroys.


    He could even erase something that he didnt bring into being himself as long as he understood its chemicalposition.


    This is great!


    Although he didnt understand the principle behind it, he seemed sure that he had the ability to create and erase materials.


    Im like an alchemist. Its an ability that I would like to take back to Japan


    His researched would have surely progressed if he could have used this ability when he was still in Japan.


    (This research, and that research. Yes, even The Research. Wait a minute, what research was it?)


    He couldnt help but think like that, Falma was a workaholic whose mind was still fixated on what he had wanted to aplish in his previous life.


    I cant go home


    (I should give up on it)


    Regardless of how much lingering affection he had, it wasnt possible to return to Earth.


    I should forget my previous life entirely, and start anew.


    Falma finally made up his mind.


    I am happy! I feel really relieved


    Lotte hurriedly returned to Falmas room and changed the bed sheets. It seems like her work involves taking care of Falmas daily necessities.


    Even though it was an upper-ss home, the beds of this world were very simple. They were simple hay filled boxes, covered by a bed sheet. Lotte was surprised when Falma started helping her inying out the bed.


    Please do not help, as this is my work.


    Is that so? Im sorry.


    However, she still said her thanks, as she was someone that never forgot to show her appreciation.


    That is good master Falma, youve recovered your Divine Art. It seems you will be able to recover your lost memory a little bit at a time as well!


    Falma wasforted by the tune Lotte hummed as she was putting away hisundry. She had a beautiful voice.


    I was foolish to think for even a moment that Falma-sama could not use his Divine Art anymore.


    Remind me , what is our family business, again?


    Lotte stopped working, as she proudly stood up and said,.


    The de Mdicis family is a family of Royal Court Apothecaries


    Family of Apothecaries.


    Falma figured he could use his ability to createpounds using his prior knowledge inpharmacologyand science, despite thews of physics being a bit different from those in his old world.


    (Good, I can still use my job.)


    He was relieved for the time being.


    After that, Falma was able to get a good grasp of the situation with help from his servant Lotte, she had received an exnation about this world from Lotte,


    (This ce resembles France)


    Falma entertained such impressions.


    Thenguage, culture, and clothes closely resembled that of medieval France.


    Charlotte, also known as Lotte, was the daughter of Catherine, the senior maid. They weremoners.


    Her mother was in charge of taking care of Falma, while Lotte apanied her mother when going in and out of Falmas room. She had been working in this house since she was 5 years old. She was now 9 years old. A servants career was very long, since they started at a very young age. They used honorifics, and each of their movements felt graceful. However,


    Just between you and me, arent you just doing forcedbor? Are you being beaten and abused in the premises that I dont know about? Are you able to eat your meals?


    Lotte pouted when Falma asked that question.


    What are you talking about? Weve been given a good life by his Lordship


    Dont you want to be free? Dont you want to go to school?


    You are so kind, you know. However, I am being taught to read and write in this mansion, and I have days off too. I am satisfied with this.


    Falma imagined that the servants were treated like ves, but they were treated very well as employees. Both mother and child consented to this. Food, clothing, and shelter were guaranteed. Furthermore, they had sries too. They said it was not hardbor and that it wasnt painful to work in the mansion. Since they were not ves, he was told that they could leave the mansion whenever they pleased.


    Then its fine


    Yes! Please take good care of us from now on! It would be troublesome if you were expelled from the mansion!


    The servants understood that the Steward was the chief of about 100 personnel deployed in and out of the residence. The mansion was made entirely of stone and featured a U shape; the style closely resembled that of the transition period of the Baroque(insert note here). The mansion was old, as you could feel the history of it.


    By the way, will you tell me about the mansion?


    With pleasure!


    Falma asked Lotte about the structure of the mansion. The building had 3 floors, a basement where the stockroom for the medicine was located, and an attic . It boasted thend area of a small castle.


    The first floor had the entrance hall, reception room, and the main hall.


    The second floor was where the parent and children rooms were.


    That is to say, Falmas room was on the 2nd floor facing the courtyard.


    All the servants lived in the attic.


    Lotte said that the mansion was too big, as she had not been though all of the rooms yet.


    It certainly is a prestigious family


    Yes, it is a proud residence! It has been more than 200 years since it was built


    Lotte responded with a cheerfulness that showed her innocence.


    Can I ask you a question about me?


    What it is you want to know?


    My name. Falma (Pharmaceuticals) de Medicis (Pharmacist).. dont you think its a bad name?


    (Pharmaceuticals is not that appealing!) Falma was ashamed.


    Fufu. Your honorable elder brother is called Master Pillule you know? His Lordship has high expectations for Master Pillules and Master Falmas future!


    Pillule seemed to mean pill.


    (There was a more unfortunate person than me)


    Falma was somewhat attracted to his Fathers strong attitude towardspharmaceutics.


    His Lordship will return to the mansion tonight, Master Falma will join for dinner, then.. Ah


    What is it?


    Falma braced himself as Lotte seemed to be in a panic.


    C-cocou-,could it be that youpletely forgot your pharmaceutical knowledge?


    I think I forgot it, but


    This is bad! This is a serious emergency!


    As Lotte said it, Falma sensed an impending crisis. He took one of the books lined up on the bookshelf in the room and quickly skimmed it. All the books in this world were made by manually copying each one, so the medical journals and the pharmaceutical books are very expensive. Nevertheless, it was obvious that the family was really rich, as you could see thick books lined up on the bookshelf in Falmas room for his personal use.


    You have to be careful, Master Falma, as His Lordship will usually question you regarding pharmaceutics without warning


    The original Falma had been given a special education since childhood. Lotte testified that he was able to memorize all of the pharmaceuticals andpounding methods written on the book.


    This was a serious matter; he coudnt memorize all of it as soon as possible, even with the knowledge and skills he had. Even though Falma was in a hurry.. it wasnt necessary


    I think I have seen this before. I remember this!


    The umted knowledge from the original Falma merged with him.He was able to read the medical journal and pharmaceutical book, and could vaguely remember the contents of it.


    As for this


    Is it difficult? It is difficult for me!


    Lotte seemed terrified, as he just shrugged his shoulder. The girl has difficulties reading the words packed together in the book. And she was slightly captivated by Falma, who was reading a troublesome book with a serious face.


    Falma would have certainly told her not to make a fuss.


    (This is terrible)


    To put it bluntly, what was written on the various books that he picked up were horrifying. Wrong treatment methods and the medicine recipes were full of poisons. It was no longer a medical treatment, if you prayed to the gods, controlled illnesses through astrology, deciphered numerology, and so on. It was substantially in the wrong direction.


    It waspletely made of charms and spells.


    They just overlooked those kinds of medical practice.


    In this world, Illnesses are trials given by the gods was the basic idea. Medical pharmacology and religion were closely rted with Astrology. They depended on prayers and confusingly chasing the movements of the stars.


    The medical science and pharmaceutical knowledge of this world were miserable.


    (This is the dark age of medical treatment of this world)


    Falma was irritated when he thought that a healthy person could almost die from such a medical treatment.


    Falma-sama, are your eyes tired? Please rest for a little bit


    After I read some more


    Lotte quietly watched without disturbing Falma, who was immersed in the book for so many hours while moving about gantly.


    Falma-sama is surely hardworking. And his figure is dreamy


    And she looked toward him in admiration.


    Falma closed the book when the room became dim.


    He stretched his neck left and right and murmured quietly.


    I have to do something for the sake of the people of this world


    Perhaps he was reincarnated with his previous lifes knowledge just for that.


    Such a thought crossed his mind.

 Volume 1 - Ch 3

    Fanfare resounded in the mansion.


    Is something starting?


    It is time to eat, Falma-sama


    Lotte called out to him in a hurry.


    Im getting hungry. Will youe and eat, Lotte?


    Anyone would get hungry not matter what they did.


    After the Master is done, its time for the servants to eat


    I got it!


    Its Lottes growth period so she needed to eat dinner early. So, he hurried on.


    Falma checked the faces of the family members who had gathered on the dining room for the first time.


    Youre up. I sent you to bed since you were sleeping.


    Yes, Im sorry to have caused you worry.


    The first one to greet Falma, was a man with a blond beard and blue eyes. The person was tall and lean with a sharp glint in his eyes. It was the master of the mansion and the father of Falma, Bruno de Mdicis, 37 years old.


    He was a Royal Court pharmacist who did medical examination and prescribed medicine to generations of royalty and nobles. He also served s as the president of San Flueve Royal School of Pharmaceutics in the Royal Capital. He was a user of Divine Art of Water.


    An excellent aristocrat with special skill in this world, the title of Archduke was bestowed unto him. The ranks were Archduke, Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount, and Baron.


    In other words, those with the rank of Archduke were grand nobles.


    Its good that you have recovered


    Ady with silver hair, blue eyes, and a neat demeanor, called out to him. It was his mother, Beatrice, 34 years old. She came from a prestigious family of users of Divine Art of Wind.


    Elder brother


    A young woman who had blue eyes, curly blonde hair that reached her waist, and was full of charm called out to Falma. It was his younger sister nche, 4 years old. Although young, she was a master of Divine Art of Water, just like her father.


    She had a pretty face for her tender age. Falma was convinced that she would definitely be beautiful in the future.


    By the way, his elder brother who was away at the moment was Pilule, 16 years old. He was an elder brother whom Falma sympathized in regards to their names, an elite student in the most advanced pharmaceutical university which was located in the far foreignnd, the Nova Root Pharmaceutical University. Since the rule was for all students to live in the dormitory, he only came home twice a year.


    Having met the family, he sat at the big table of therge dining room.


    His father prepared a porcin basin for hand washing on top of the table, and poured clear water out using Divine Art of Water.


    His younger sister ,nche, poured water on his basin, and also filled his mothers basin. Even though his mother was a noble, the elemental attribute was different so its the daughters job to produce water.


    Falma kept calm as the water in the basin in front of him was poured. He then washed his hands.


    Bread, knife and spoon were ced on top of the tablecloth. nche said the prayers to the gods, the family recited it, and the meal started.


    (Ah, the meal is unexpectedly delicious)


    It started with chicken cordon bleu with plenty of spices, then wild rabbit stew was served. Falma obeyed what Lotte said about table manners, and tried to eat slowly. Because he regretted the time where he was only eating something like CalorieMate, his poor tongue very much served its purpose in this parallel world.


    (I had worked too much and hadnt eaten a decent meal)


    He savored the taste of the parallel world while chewing each mouthful with relish.


    So Falma. Is there still numbness in your body? Being struck by lightning.


    The dinner had just started, and Falmas mother was immediately anxious about him.


    Incidentally, the mother was the only one who was fond of wine in the family. The father was drinking water as he prepared for house calls from patients. The water he had made himself was very pure. He squeezed a lemon and the fragrance diffused through the air.


    My memory is just a little bit hazy. But Ill be able to remember it soon, so you dont have to worry, dear mother


    Falma answered calmly. Lotte had told him to use politenguage to his parents, and to call them dear father and dear mother. As it should be for a 2nd son of a grand noble.


    However, you survived by a hairs breadth. Your heart pulse stoppedpletely; it seems that the potion I gave you after you were struck by the lightning worked


    The father interjected with satisfaction. It seemed to have increased his confidence in his skills as a pharmacist. Falma had had a cardiac arrest and stopped breathing, so the father had administered the potion orally. Falma almost choked his food; it was a good thing that good he hadnt choked


    (Well, perhaps the potion was very effective)


    He thought about it, but he had seen the formtion written in the book so theres no reason to doubt it.


    Since the original Falma was a quiet and calm person, it was necessary to behave the same, so as not to expose the real him.


    He began to think about what had happened to the original Falma. Because they had said that he had died once due to the lightning, perhaps the original memory would disappear. He felt like running away when he thought about it. He had taken over that body, and felt guilty about doing so.


    But the original Falma had died already, and his ego had disappeared.


    He held a memorial service in his mind, and decided to live up for the original Falmas sake.


    The pharmacologist and the original Falma had merged into one mind.


    However, if your memory is vague, I will be worried. I will take care of you so you dont have to stress yourself. If there is something troubling you, just say it. If there is anything you want to eat, Ill have them make it for you


    Compared to the domineering father, thepassionate mother was more pleasant.


    Yes, thank you dear mother. Im happy that you said it


    After his mother exchanged a word or two with Falma, she didnt feel some strange feeling that Falmas personality had changed. Falma thought about it too. Anyhow, having heard from Lotte the usual attitude and tone of the original Falma proved to be fortunate.


    You should rest in bed for a few days. Will you be able to join in the next house call?


    After the father was done eating, he wiped his mouth with a napkin and recalled that he needed to remind Falma of that. Falma forced a smile, but he didnt know what the father was referring to. The father then guessed that Falmas memory was still vague, so he added.


    Its her Majestys house call


    I remember now. I will go with you


    An apprentice pharmacist must train by seeing the work of the mentor who was part of the job of the Royal Pharmacist. Even though the original Falma was only 10 years old, he usually helped his father during medical examinations.


    House call for the royalty and nobles were usually important, but this time, its the highest status from among his fathers patients. This was no ordinary person.


    When he said her Majesty, he meant the empire of San Flueve, her Majesty Elizabeth II.


    (This is a big job)


    Falma cowered at the thought of what kinds of medicine would be prescribed to the empress. He prayed that he wouldnt be hanged if the treatment failed.


    By the way, about the ointment that was used recently on both of your burnt arms, what were the ingredients andpounding methods of Gede?


    It appeared. That was the surprise pharmacology question that Lotte was talking about!


    The main ingredient of the herbs are; Tin Pyrite from Lahara region, oil concoction from Katesso, eye of a lizard, and powdered wing of the Full-moon Night Bat. The method is to boil it in holy water for 1 night while offering a prayer to purify it, dry it the next day under the sun for 3 days, then ground it to fine dry powder.


    Having no time to think, the information from the book he had read earlier smoothly came out from Falmas mouth. He imitated the way the original Falma recited from memory.


    Although he instinctively blurted out thepounding method, he felt ashamed as a pharmacologist with a doctorate degree from modern Japan.


    However, it couldnt be helped; he had to do it this way.


    It would be troubling if he got kicked out of the mansion.


    You remembered. You are truly my son


    His father nodded in great satisfaction without knowing the real circumstances. By the way, because the suspicious ointment would develop a rash or inmmation if contact with the skin was prolonged, a shorter duration was the correct solution. In that respect, he quickly wiped off the medical herb, and washed the arm in clean water. The satisfied father didnt knew he had done so.


    All right. Since there are no particr problems in your physical condition, can you resume going back to Eleonoras lecture tomorrow?


    (Its a person I dont know)


    Heter got the information from Lotte,


    Eleonora Bonnefoy.


    The top pharmacist disciple of his father, and the tutor of Falma.


    Youre suspicious. Youre absolutely suspicious. Its like youre a different person


    The woman in front of Falma drew shapes with her fingers on the table as she murmured those words.


    Falma winced at the voice of the youngdy sitting across him.


    She was Falmas private tutor, and the top disciple of his father, a pharmacist with top ss beauty, Eleonora Bonnefoy, 16 years old. Her lustrous silver hair parted onto both sides, giving her a cool impression.She wore a tight, long matte textured, light sky-blue dress skirt, with a daring slit that emphasized her every move. Her shoulder waspletely bare.


    He was too embarrassed to look at her ample bust]when her hands were crossed under it.


    (That dress is too liberal. She has sses even!)


    If this world was equivalent to medieval Europe, Falma had assumed that the clothing culture would be more appropriate for that era, but it did not seem necessarily so. Indeed, the de Medicis family wore medieval conservative clothing. If anything, her attire was casual for a fantasy world; it was indeed a parallel world. And Falma was admiring her.


    Is that so? Youre just imagining it!


    Youre too formal. Using honorifics


    Falma regretted that he hadnt learned the conversation pattern with Ellen. Because it was a student-teacher rtionship, he had assumed he needed to use honorifics.


    (How to speak to her. Should I act like being too friendly with a teacher character?)


    The meeting ce with Eleonora was on a riverbank that flowed along the premises of the mansion. Located in the center of a garden was a western style gazebo made of white stone. The sunlight was blocked by the domed roof, and the wind blowing over the garden wasfortable and pleasant.


    Two people sat across each other on benches separated by the round table in the gazebo. It was a spaceconducive for outdoor learning.


    The ce was a herbal garden owned by his father. Falma was worried that the herbal garden in the riverbank might be swept by a flood, but because the de Medicis family was full of Divine Art of Water users, his father uses the art to prevent the river from overflowing to the herbal garden. Thieves targeted that ce because expensive medicinal nts were grown there. Of course, to prevent the property of de Medicis family from being stolen, nighttime security systems of the herbal garden were wless. It was such a herbal garden. Falma was looking around the herbal garden while waiting a while ago, and he had seen a familiar herb from his original world. He found outter that it was a nt used in traditional Chinese medicine. There were also unknown herbs unique to this parallel world.


    This is how I speak normally, Eleonora-sensei


    Was it OK to Eleonora to be called that way? Or was it supposed to be Bonnefoy-sensei? As he was trying to think of a better way to converse, he was interrupted immediately.


    Its Ellen you know. Still, why do you seem so different?


    Fine, Ill confess. My memory is somewhat hazy because I was struck by lightning


    You should have told me earlier


    Ellen pouted while sulking after all.


    Certainly, being struck by lightning can change your personality but perhaps you will recover soon. You must appreciate that your life was saved


    Ellen stood up, looked at him over her shoulder, and showed a pleasant smile. That translucent smile was dazzling. She went out of the gazebo towards the river. Falma followed afterwards.


    Todays lecture is not a pharmaceutical lecture, its to check your Divine Skills


    Ellen asked Falma if he remembered all the Divine Skills (Divine Art Techniques).


    Ellen had taught the original Falma many Divine Arts.


    He seemed to be an excellent student with good intuition.


    I wonder if its possible to make water and pour it on the cup


    When Falma said so jokingly, Ellen held her brow.


    It is a fact that I dont remember everything


    With writing tools in Falmas hands, he listened attentively to Ellens lecture.

 Volume 1 - Ch 4

    Falma was eagerly listening and taking down notes from the lecture of Eleonora, also known as Ellen.


    All nobles of this world had an aptitude for Divine Arts and had a guardian deity.


    The guardian deity and the Divine Art attribute were already decided at birth. The guardian deity was appraised during the baptism ceremony at the church. After the baptismal ceremony had finished, the guardian deity had been determined, and the blessings had been received, the Divine Vein would open up inside the body and the Divine Arts could then be used. The amount of divine power was decided at birth, and one couldnt increase the amount of divine power by training.


    The Divine Art attributes were; Fire, Water, Wind, Earth and Non-Elemental.


    The attributes were further divided into Positive and Negative.


    On the off chance that a guardian deity couldnt be determined, the childs Divine Vein wouldnt open up. The child would the be disowned, and have their rank of being a noble stripped from them.


    Therefore the Aristocratic System was centered around the Divine Arts.


    (Even if one is a noble, it is still quite severe)


    Falma focused his mind.


    His father, Bruno, his brother, Pilule, and Falmas guardian deity were the Deities of Medicine. Their Divine Art attribute was Water (Major). And Ellen taught him.


    There were over 100 guardian deities in this world.


    It started with themon Sun God, the Moon God, Mother Earth, Wind God, and Sea God. Also there were upational deities like Deity of Healing, Deity of Medicine, Deity of cksmithing, and so on.


    There were not many in the continent that had the Deity of Medicine, which allowed apothecaries to use excellent Divine Arts as their guardian deity.


    It was for that reason that his father, Bruno, was appointed as Archduke.


    By the way, Ellens guardian deity was the Water God.


    (So, the guardian deity has something to do with the Divine Art attribute. This is indeed a world of the ult)


    He was a pharmacologist who lived in present day Japan. Gods, ghosts, devils, magics, and Divine Arts were unscientific. He didnt like such things, so he hadnt ever learned them.


    Are we good up to here?


    Ellen asked for confirmation. Falma nodded while looking at the notes he had written down.


    Thank you, I understood it well. By the way, what is non-elemental?


    Its an attribute that cannot be categorized within the 4 attributes. There have been non-elemental in the past, but the church hasnt heard of any appearing in thest 300 years


    Ellen just gave a wry smile when discussing or rebuking the church.


    (Which attribute am I? If its not the water attribute, will it match the Deity of Medicine? If I was reincarnated and woke up as a different character, would the attribute not change?)


    Falma was in great doubt. Because he could create water, hed just pretend that his attribute was Water [Positive], but


    What if one can create any substance just by thinking it, what attribute is it?


    Because it doesnt fit the definition of the 4 attributes, it would be non-elemental, but there is no such thing as to create any substance. You are only able to create one substance. To create anything you like would not be considered a Divine Art; rather, you would be something like a god or a monster


    (If thats the case, what is this ability then)


    Falma was getting troubled over this, but he decided to not care about the discussion on attributes for now.


    So why do I have to learn Divine Art?


    There are two reasons for you. First, for self defense


    Nobles didnt carry swords, they carried Divine Wands, which amplified their Divine Arts, as recement for swords. It was said that having a sword was a disgrace.


    This is a sword for us


    She took a folding wand from her belt on her waist; it looked good.


    In war,mon soldiers were useless. Strategies and Tactics boiled down to firing off Divine Arts at each other. It was said that an excellent tactician could change the topography and submerge a castle.


    Falma-kun! What is the next most important thing to a noble?


    Ah!


    He had brought a notebook and a textbook with him, but he had forgotten the important wand. He recalled that there was a box with luxurious ornaments beside his pillow, wherein seemingly, a silver wand was ced. With that, Falma came to understand.


    A Royal Court Apothecary does not have to master Divine Arts and Military Arts like the Holy Knights, but you must not leave your wand


    It is said that nobles were targeted by the assassins not just once or twice. In addition, thieves and thugs always aimed for them in the streets.


    Another reason to learn Divine Art is because medicines made with Divine Arts have magnificent effects. Its a required skill for Royal Court Apothecaries


    There were three sses of apothecaries in this continent; all were under control by the empress.


    Royal Court Apothecary: Prestigious Aristocratic Apothecary. They mad and prescribed medicines for the nobles and the royalty. There were 3 on record.


    First ss/Second ss Apothecary: Aristocratic Apothecary. They mad and prescribed medicines to the nobles only. There were 21 on record.


    Third ss Apothecary: Apothecary of the Commoner, belonging to the Apothecaries Guild. Its the Apothecaries Guild that issued this license. They made and prescribed for themoners only. There were 246 on record.


    The 3 people including his father werent recognized by a license, but by the imperial decree of the Empress as Royal Court Apothecary that they held.


    The Royal Court Apothecary, First ss, and Second ss Apothecary didnt sell medicines, but devoted themselves to healing only. Because Aristocratic Apothecary made medicine with Divine Art, the medicine that the Commoner Apothecaries sold waspletely different. Ellen puffs her chest with pride.


    I see..


    Falma thought about something ordingly.


    (The medicinal herbs of this world, when the noble or should I say, when the Divine Arts is used to process it, does it bes more effective?)


    At any rate, there was Divine Art in this world.


    Perhaps he could notpletely deny the old fashioned herbal therapy. Although there were some inuracies in the form on the pharmaceutical book found in the bookshelf of the mansion, there were also traditional Chinese medicines that were effective, and a list of active ingredients from several medicinal herbs So Falma revised his thinking.


    Falma had the ability to create substance, but he couldnt imagine with his mind theposition of a medicine where the structure wasplex. Thats the weakness in his ability. In that case, he had to performpounding in aboratory; perhaps extracting from nts would be more efficient.


    There were medicinal herbs and trees nted in the garden. For example thepacific yew tree, where you can get minuscule amounts ofPaclitaxel, an ingredient in anti-cancer drugs. And there are sort of Poppies where you can get opium. He can extractcardiotonic drugfromFoxgloves, and so on and so forth. He hadnt given up yet. Ellen called this herbal garden a Treasured Garden.


    Well then, since I will lend you my wand, please face toward the river and try firing off a Lance de leau downstream, like this!


    Lance de leau


    When Ellen assembled the folding wand, it was almost as tall as her. She grasped it tightly, chanted the words quickly, then waved and thrusted it intensely towards the sky.


    The wand emitted a stream, and the calm surface of the big river shot straight up for several hundred meters. Eventually it drew an arc and gently fell into the river before disappearing.


    Wow! It really looked like a spear


    Falma shouted with joy.


    Now you do it


    Because it was a high ranking Divine Art, her staff would be difficult to use. Depending on the situation, she nned to say nothing about it. While thinking so, she lent the wand to Falma.


    By the way, to activate the Divine Art technique, he guessed that one had to recite the [Trigger Chant].


    Should I wave it with all my might?


    You should do so with all your might. Wait, make sure there are no boats


    Ellen verified from afar that there werent any fishing boats in the river right now, as that would be a vition.


    Youre good to go, give it all you got. The chant is [Lance de leau]


    Falma closed his eyes and focused on the wand. He sent an image of a water shooting out from it, but carelessly left out chanting the Trigger Chant.


    Then, the wand was waved in position to the sky, and a pale fluorescence rose up from Falmas whole body. The river couldnt hold therge amount of water and quickly swelled, the swirling current approaching the height of the embankment.


    Cloud formed over the sky and a storm started to rage.


    Kyaaaaa?!


    She looked with interest as Falmas Divine technique caused some wind pressure and a shock wave, which blew Ellen into the riverbank. The power of the water current was too big, and they were not simple ones either. At this rate, if the dike was destroyed, the town downstream would be flooded; that was the current situation.


    Woah!?


    When Falma threw away the wand, the water finally calmed down.


    Falma-kun, what.. have you done?


    Ellen was unsteadily standing up with her sses slipping of ntingly.


    Sorry, I cant adjust the power. Youre not hurt right?


    Falma didnt knew the typical power of a Divine technique in this parallel world. It was pointed out that his control was weak.


    (When Im doing personal training, I must not do it near the sea. It would be dangerous if I hit a coastal house or a bridge)


    And so he seriously considered.


    Falma-kun, somethings wrong with youyou didnt say the Trigger Chant


    Eh?


    Presently, it seemed that he had overdone himself because he sensed that Ellens reaction had frozen. He got blindsided by that badment, so Falma thought of a way to smooth this over.


    Ellens wand is wonderful!! Its a wand that can used high ranking Divine Arts, I was surprised


    He tried extremely hard to make excuses while showing a fake smile.

 Volume 1 - Ch 5

    Falma somehow tried to deceive her but,


    The wand doesnt have to do anything with this! You, what has be of your Divine Power? I mean, is your body OK?


    Ellen got a bag and retrieved an instrument that looks like a stick made of metal.


    It looks like a thermometer that simply indicates the divine power, holding it will show a color corresponding to the ability and the amount of divine power.


    A persons usable Divine Power is limited, so when training, one has to watch out for their Divine Power level.


    Falma used a grand Divine Art, if he used up all his power, he may copse.


    So Ellen was concerned about it.


    She was so concerned that she became teary eyed.


    Although you got lucky. please put out both of your hands! Master Falma. You may have used your lifes worth of divine power! That was excessive!


    This is?


    Listen up. Ill exinter, just hold this!


    When Falma grasped it with both hands, it began to emit a soft white light.


    An intense force started to rise up at the hollow core gauge that looks like a mercury thermometer, He shook it off in an instant.


    Colorless, and broke through the limit..!


    Ellen stepped back in amazement, her sses fell to the ground and ended up stepping up on it.


    The expensive lens was sadly smashed, but Ellen didnt care about that.


    Umm, your sses is broken


    Its just not possible


    Falma picked up the frame of the sses that was missing its lens.


    In what way you could break the limit?


    Ellen was confused at Falma, that was oblivious to the implications.


    I would like to hear about this by the way, theres nobody who have a Divine Art that can exceed the Divine Power meter


    Ellen rolled up Falmas sleeve, and stared intently at the marks left by the lightning strike.


    Even though Falma covered it by the tunics long sleeves, it was found out because it emitted a light that broke through the clothes clearly.


    It seems Ellen was bing more worried as she stared at it longer.


    This mark, no matter how you look at it, it looks like the holy crest of the Medicine God


    That is. Thats what Lotte also said, but youre just imagining it. Anyone will have this if they got hit by a lightning


    Falma knew when he checked the book about the holy crest of the Medicine God.


    It certainly resembled closely, but for Falma, it differed from his own opinion of The scar shaped like a Lichtenberg figure because of the lightning


    When you use Divine Art, do you feel hot inside your body? Do you have shortness of breath or having some kind of palpitation?


    There was no such feelings, only there was a sense that the power flows in from another world. Its probably why I dont get tired


    As I thought so.. An art from another world. Usually using too much divine power will cause you to copse and sometimes death, yet you still have divine power that still exceed the divine power meter


    Ellen looked sexy as she fold her arms and wondered what kind of power it was.


    Master Falma. You must never hold a divine power meter in public from now on. You must not show it to your father either. Also, you must not use Divine Art at full power


    She was brooding.


    Because her sses was broken, she was checking the book so close she could lick it. She confirmed the definition of the attributes and expressed her thoughts for now.


    Seems like you fall under the Major and Minor Non-Elemental attribute


    She seemed to understand easily the attribute by the color emitted by the divine power meter.


    Because it was white, that meant it was Non-Elemental.


    Is Non-Elemental rare?


    He just heard earlier that there was no one who was a Non-Elemental user for hundred of years.


    Rare is an understatement. It is an unknown ability that said to have much more divine power that the Empress. Are you perhaps interested in getting the throne? It will be be that kind of story


    But isnt the House de Mdicis a family of Apothecaries?


    Talking about bing an emperor suddenly, Falma stood petrified while holding the sses.


    It does not matter


    There was a throne session system for the emperor of San Fleuve Empire.


    Family status and guardian deity are took into consideration for the strength of the divine power, a legitimate child of a noble who greatly excel in abilities will be selected by the churchmittee.


    In Falmas case where he already surpassed the divine power of the Empress, and the de Mdicis family status was enough already. He had all the qualifications to be an emperor.


    However, it would be inconvenient for the reigning Empress, in fact he was told he might get assassinated by the Empress.


    So, are you interested?


    Not at all. First of all, Im not good at politics. It would be terrible if they leave the politics to me


    As he was naturally a man of science, he was certainty not into liberal arts.


    It is a fact he cant do what was unfamiliar to him.


    Then its better to be silent about it right? Lets stop the lesson for today here. Although we didnt get into the second half of the lesson


    Ellen seemed to be relieved that she now knew Falma didnt have any ambition.


    Thank you then. About this one. This sses, dont forget it to bring it home. Because it still can be used if the lens are reced


    However, Ellen didnt move from her spot.


    Are you not going home?


    If I dont have my sses I cant see anything. Although there is a spare sses in the mansion


    Shall I walk you to the mansion?


    Falma lead Ellen by hand and the crossed the bridge to return to the mansion from the herb garden.


    He doesnt know how far can Ellen see with her vision, she seems not able to see at all.


    There is a step here, be careful


    She pulled the hand of the woman who is taller than him, and escorted her across the bridge from the riverbank of the herbal garden to the mansion.


    The delicate hand of Ellen was cold.


    She doesnt seem to be sensitive to cold.


    Your hand is trembling, are you OK?


    Ye, yes?


    The silence continued for a while and the atmosphere of awkwardness sets in.


    Hey master Falma, dont you think you were given power during the lightning strike?


    Falma braced himself.


    Ellen told him that yesterday was the strongest influence of the Medicine Goddue to the configuration of the stars.


    That Divine Art a while ago, no human is expected to do that


    Falma was clearly informed and anxiety sets in, he stopped walking.


    Perhaps your guardian deity, the Medicine God,possessed you. If Im not mistaken, your heart beat was stopped by the lightning and your personality changed also


    (So its like that huh?)


    Falma understood that it was fear she felt towards him.


    A man with too much power was not treated as a human anymore, it was fear of the divine possession.


    I would like to believe that you were still the master Falma that I knew before, however you arepletely different


    For her to think that way, or rather she would have been instantly killed at point nk range by him if error was made on the adjustment of the Divine Art, thinking about that her hand trembled uncontrobly.


    Your power, can you control itpletely? Will you not go on a rampage?


    I dont fully understood it, but Im sure I can control it


    Even though he was given power, Falma didnt think he would abuse it.


    (Ill be proficient at curing injured persons)


    He doesnt believe on something like a soul, even if he got reincarnated and his personality was the same.


    Thats right, when you drop your sses, you should do it this way


    When Falma thought about it, he released Ellens hand, he made a sign of circle with his forefinger and thumb on both hands, and ced it on his eyes like sses.


    The mood on that spot unraveled and Ellen rolled about inughter spontaneously.


    Pfft, that was funny


    This hole is getting smaller. I think I was deceived


    Ellen cant help it but followed his lead and made a shape of sses and ced it in front of her face.


    Its getting smaller furthermore, its now a pinhole


    Eh? Eh, eh? Wait, eh, eeeehh!?


    When she said so while doing it, Ellen screamed.


    She smiled delightfully.


    I can see! I can see far away! how do you know such a thing!?


    On the contrary, Falma doesnt know how and just shrugged his shoulder.


    If the field of vision is narrow, I can see very well!


    Two people spoke to each other while imitating a pair of sses.


    Oh?


    (Whats this?)


    Falma was surprised with another thing while looking at Ellen that got curious.


    When looking at Ellen over the ring, her eyes and left hands fingertip was glowing a bluish white color.


    Is something on my face?


    Ellen stroked around her cheek with her finger.


    He took her hand unconsciously.


    Ah!


    What?


    When Falma saw Ellen through his circle of finger, the second joint of her left hands middle finger seemed to glow a bluish white color.


    When he put away the circle of finger, it went away.


    He can only see it with the circle of finger on his left hand.


    Falma touched the part of Ellens finger where it was glowing.


    Ouch, ouch! What are you doing!?


    Ellen screamed and became teary eyed.


    Eh? But I didnt put too much force on it


    There, my finger got hit this morning and its painful.How did you realized I sprained my finger? I didnt even bandaged it!


    Sprained?


    As soon as Falma said so, the pale bluish white color turned into an All white color.


    After trying a variety of things, he got results. If he make the sign of a circle on his left hand and supply divine power on it, the patients affected part glows bluish white, and the color changes if he guessed correctly the name of the disease or whats wrong with it.


    This is surprising


    Its like the Divine Eye of the Medicine God. Master Falma, it is as I thought so, ah!


    The Medicine Godhad a legend that it can detect all kinds of illness, and will bestow any kind of medicine depending on the symptom.


    Ellen pointed in horror at Falmas feet, as she opened and closed her mouth wordlessly.


    You dont, dont have a shadow!


    Under Falmas foot in front of her, there was no shadow.


    Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaa!?


    As expected, Falma screamed at this.


    I wont, I wont say anything. I wont tell anybody that you are the reincarnation of the Medicine God, I wont say you are something like a monster, therefore. Help meeeeeeee!


    Ellen seemed to finally felt great danger to herself, and ran away quickly while asionally tripping.


    She seemed so frightened that she threw away the frame of her sses again.


    What should I do?


    Falma was honestly at a loss.


    It wont be noticeable in the mansion where there are many shadows and its dim, but outside where its considerably bright, Falma will stand out not having a shadow.


    He had no choice but to believe that Ellen will keep it a secret


    Still, one day he will get exposed as not having a shadow and will certainly get persecuted.


    He got a headache while thinking so.


    At the steps after crossing the bridge, he can see the figure of Ellen falling down magnificently ahead.


    It would seem to take quite a while for any word to remove the misunderstanding.


    Wee home!


    Im back


    Falma returned back to the mansion after killing some time until it was evening, Lotte was warming up the room when he looked at her using the [Divine Eye].


    Then the hand of the hard working girl, who doesundry and kitchen work, was emitting a dim blue light, he discovered a lot of chapped skin.


    [Chapped]


    The blue light in her hand turned into white.


    That was seemed to be the correct answer.


    He immediately created a moisturizing agent which primarily was a lotion with added floral fragrance, ced it on a vial with a lovely ribbon which a girl will surely like.


    Waah! What is this?


    Because Im grateful to you, this is your present. Apply it to your hands before going to bed. Your skin will be smooth after a while. You can even apply it to your face


    Yes! Im so d!


    Lotte was so delighted that she wasnt able to say anything anymore.


    She seemed to want to dance for joy.


    Can my mother use it too? Mothers hand is also rough and dry


    Lotte raised the vial so high while spinning around, her innocent smiling face was bursting with pleasure.


    Of course


    The next day, Lotte and her mother went delightfully to Falma to show him their smooth hands.


    This is wonderful! Everybody wants to buy it!


    It was said that until now that there was only expensive oil and ointment for hand care.


    As for those expensive medication, the sales was being monopolized by the Apothecaries Guild.


    Madam would sometimes give medication to mother, but those medicines are so expensive amoner doesnt have ess to it


    While looking at the back of Lotte who greeted him delightfully and was returning back to the attic, he thought that themon people must be able to buy medicine with peace of mind. If he was to offer low priced medicine to themoner, each and every one of them might be d.


    He originally was a pharmacologist with a strong dedication and risked his life to develop innovative drugs to cure people.


    He would like to help the people of this unsophisticated world with the technical skills and knowledge he had.


    Also, Falma doesnt want to stand out let alone having no shadow, lest he be branded as a heretic who is not human anymore.


    In order to avoid being feared as a monster or persecuted enough to be killed. Wait, to be epted by everyone around him even in the worst case that he got exposed, he must be an existence that must be necessary for them, and be fully aware of any danger so he can work diligently.


    To be able to spread the medicine and serve the people of this world, he needs to open independently a pharmacy in the future, and entrust his brother as the aristocrat business partner to fund his material creation.


    Falma had began to thought up a n for future prospects

 Volume 1 - Ch 6

    A carrier pigeon came in the next day from Ellen addressed to Bruno.


    She had a high fever today and would like a day off from teaching. She was also suggesting that she wants to resign being a tutor. Bruno called out Falma in response,


    It looks like she will take a day off today due to high fever, she seems to be troubled by a nightmare. This is unusual to say the least


    Falma was unable to say anything when he himself may be the cause of the nightmare. Which in some cases can lead to high fever.


    To quit being a tutor, what a joke. I told her that having a pupil and teaching them is part of being an apothecary


    Falma thought that it was better to leave Ellen alone. Bruno however,


    I guess you can suffer delirium from a fever, so you are going to deliver this


    And it was his beloved potion again.


    Ah.. Falmas eyes turned like a dead fish.


    (If I go, wouldnt that just make the situation much worse than before? Heck, she may not even ept the medicine from me)


    Even he thought so, he cant go against the order of his father.


    In the end, in ordance with the order, Falma boarded a carriage and went to deliver the potion to Ellen.


    Master, we have arrived. This is the mansion of the Bonnefoy Family


    The coachman knocked on the door of the carriage that Falma boarded.


    Thank you


    The trip with the carriage was rocky, but he had arrived at a wonderful mansion. Eleonora Bonnefoy was a daughter of an Earl. It was not as big as Falmas mansion, but the mansion was quite big to live in the outskirt of the royal capital. The mansion had a Renaissance style and was refined.


    Please pardon my ipetent daughter, for she is feeling unwell at the moment. If you have time, Ill call upon you from thedrawing room


    Because the son of the Archduke went personally, Ellens father who is an Earl received him from the entrance hall.


    Forgive me, but if she is feeling unwell, then I will just have to return without seeing her. Please hand this to my teacher Eleonora


    A letter from Bruno was also given. The contents of the letter told her that if she wants to quit she will be cking off, she was told to remain a tutor after the fever was gone.


    For you to havee all this way, I cannot just send you back, I will call her toe here


    But she has high fever


    She wille even if she has to crawl


    Falma didnt intend to meet her, but by all means, he was ushered to the drawing room by the Earl.


    To think that Ellen came in from the door of the drawing room, although possibly not her from the half opened steel helmet. He looked at her intently.


    Ellen? Im sorry to bother you


    What did you came here to do? Are you possibly here to kill me since I knew your secret!? Is that right!?


    No not that! In any case, will you please sit down


    Falma raised both of his hands to show he doesnt have a wand.


    On the other hand, Ellen was fully armed. She wore an Anti-Divine Art full te armor, only her eyes can be seen. She prepared 3 wands that had high performance. She was determined to fight back.


    Even though she entered the room, she decided to be as far away as possible from Falma as she clung to the wall. Falma examined Ellen with his Divine Eyes. The high fever was true, but it was just a cold. Wearing an armor that covers the whole body, Ellen, who was sick, should considerably had a hard time wearing it.


    Father had instructed me to give this medicine to you. However, looking at this


    Falma ced a vial, emitting a suspicious green color, on the table of the drawing room. Because the potion seemed to only have an effect like that of an energy drink when Falma checked the recipe of his father, he reformted the medicine which will reduce the symptom of the cold


    Why my Lord.. Although I can make anantipyreticby myself, for what reason did you do this?)


    (If you quit from being a tutor because of the fever, wouldnt you think that your own medicine will not be effective?


    Falma thought but didnt point it out.


    I will make apress. I want you to apply this to your sprained finger


    He prepared apress packed with an anti-inmmatory analgesic ingredient. That was authentic and something effective.


    Also you left the frame of your sses


    He brought the spare sses that was in his mansion.


    Falma ced the sses wrapped in cloth and the frame of the sses carefully on top of the desk.


    Oh, thank you


    Ellen who was prepared to fight suddenly dropped her guard down.


    Are your really quitting on tutoring? Because I just suddenly heard about it


    Thats right. Well, is there honestly something you to want me to teach? You are the reincarnation of the Medicine God you know? Having a tutor is unnecessary anymore. You will properly master the use of your Divine Art right?


    Within Ellen, she finally decided that Falma seems to be the reincarnation of the Medicine God.


    No, I think of myself as human and I dont fully understand my Divine Art


    Although Falma stated that he was human, he cant confidently say it based on his condition.


    Master Falma, how can you exin it? You must have a shadow to be human. Aah, I wonder why I had to state the obvious. Besides, Im the only one who knows it. Why did nobody in the de Mdicis family mansion noticed it?


    Because it was dim inside the mansion, Falma responded in his mind.


    Ellen took of her helmet and smashed in on top of the desk. She was probably boiling in heat inside the armor.


    I want you to continue being my tutor. I want you to teach me more things


    Eh?


    Ellen faced showed a look that she got surprised.


    There seems to be no text inside Falmas mansion regarding Divine Art. Themoners arent aware of it, probably because there was tactical meaning to it, that Divine Art skills seemed to be passed down orally. There was almost no notes from the original Falma. Therefore, Falma wanted Ellen to remain as a tutor. Otherwise, Falma will be troubled without knowing how he can control the powerful divine power.


    If I refuse, will you kill me since I know your secret?


    I will never do such a thing. Anyway, with this I shall return home. Also that


    What?


    When you had put down your helmet, you broke your ss again


    He was going to stop it, but he didnt get in time.


    Kyaaaaa!?


    Falma thought that Ellen doesnt have any luck with sses while leaving the Bonnefoy family mansion.


    The next day.


    Master Falma, lets go for the Divine Art lesson! I will be very strict today!


    Soon after breakfast was over, Ellen went into the mansion of the de Mdicis family, alone riding on a horse In full te armor. She was dressed like she was going to have a duel.


    Are you going to tutor me? Or did youe to fight me?


    A tutor. This appearance is for my defense in case of emergency. It cant be helped. If you truly dont know Divine Art, you must tell me. Im worried that you might blow up the Royal Capital. Or rather I will get killed, I dont want to die. We will be training on an uninhabited ind so as not to bother other people


    Ellen said it all in one breath that she seemed to feel hot in the armor.


    The unarmed Falma was feeling very sorry for Ellen, who arrived as a female knight in full armor, trying to risk her life to suppress the reincarnated malevolent god.


    Youre safe, has your bodypletely recovered?


    Im healthy now. That potion was surprisingly very effective. Even thepress you made was also effective


    Ellen dismounted the horse and approached Falma.


    I dont know the ingredient that made it effective, so what was it?


    Ellen shifts her new sses and looked at Falma directly into his eyes.


    So you found out


    It was supposed to be tasteless, but she still understood somehow. with that, Falma admired her.


    Thats right, I knew. Even though I look like this, Im still a First ss Apothecary. Yet, its unforgivable that I dont know what kind of medicine it was


    Falma was convinced that was the reason she came back. It was very professional of her.


    I want to learn every knowledge of Dieu de Mdecine (Medicine God)!


    Ellen had finally started calling him as Dieu de Medicine. It seems that Falmas existence has been rapidly increasing within her.


    No, Its different, because


    Is it a secret? Like having no shadow? Even though I already found out.


    Only you have been aware of it


    They had to at least act normal in public, so Falma made a promise.


    Ellen will teach Falma Divine Arts, while Falma will teach Ellen pharmaceutics. With this, an agreement had been establish, and Ellen resumes her job.


    And when his father knew that Ellens fever was cured overnight and had returned to continue tutoring, he only said It would be so, it would be so and his self-confidence in making potion increased.


    From here on out, the ce where the two of them are teaching each other changed from the riverbank to an uninhabited ind.


    During that time,there were several small uninhabited inds that disappeared without exnation from the map off the coast of San Fleuve Empire.


    However, Ellen can now approach Falma without flinching as a result of the training.


    She did not need to wear an Anti-Divine Art full te armor anymore.

 Volume 1 - Ch 7

    Falma was observing the people in the mansion as there was no lessons from Ellen since she had a day-off.


    Although Ellen was calling it the Divine Eye, he decided to call it the [Diagnosis Eye] as it has the ability see through the disease. It was an ability that nobody knows other than his teacher, Ellen. It was a secret even to Lotte.


    The ability was activated by making acircle on his left hand fingersand check the patient through it, but the movement of making it was too conspicuous. The patient will make fun of him or think that he was crazy. He will certainly receive some ridicule from those higher rank than him. Therefore he made some experiment and found out that he was able to activate the Diagnosis Eye just by cing2 fingers with his eye in between. The action was better but it was still a bit strange


    Although he could see the marker in the human body, he needs to concentrate for it.


    Her mother had a severe low back pain, so he made the samepress that he made for Ellen.


    Her sister had weak bowels, so he made something like axative.


    When he was walking around the mansion, he casually examined a person he met.


    He found out it was a patient, since the Diagnosis Eye showed something glowing in the patient and he guessed the name of the disease. Before the diagnosis the color was light blue, it turned to white after he diagnosed it correctly. If the diagnosis was wrong, it will never turn to white for good.


    Also, if he says the correct name of the prescription drug for the disease, the white light will go out. Then he will make the prescribed drug.


    Although he himself had the training and the ability to diagnose, he is met sometimes with difficulty in diagnosing.


    In Falmas previous life, he was a leading genius pharmacologist in the world. So it was only natural that he had medical knowledge, but he was no doctor. Therefore he maniacally names the diseases even though he has no knowledge of it. Still he diagnosed them patiently and prepares a medicine base on the symptom of the patient.


    How do you do young master?


    Good morning Marianne


    Marianne was in charge ofundry today as they pass each other in the corridor, while she was carrying arge amount ofundry. She was a middle-aged woman who washes the clothes of his parents. Always cheerful, she was pleasant to talk in theundry drying area. She doesnt have anything bad in her character.


    Master Falma, please you have to go outside. The weather is beautiful


    Yes it is Caesar


    Caesar was a middle-aged man, who was a gardener and always speaks to Falma and suggest to go outside. He was healthy too.


    (Everyone, living healthy is number 1)


    Falma was nodding and grunting in agreement.


    He also gave the servants appropriate medical examinations and gave them medicines for treatment using his material creation ability. The servants shed tears with joy. It was said that they had never receive any medicine from the Lord of the mansion.


    Even now, Simon the Butler was fidgety when Falmas father passed him by, seems like he had tooth decay.


    Falma was putting the treatment for tooth decay on hold, as it needs further consideration.


    Unexpectedly, father has not seen everyone in the house


    He was chatting with Lotte while strolling through the courtyard in the mansion.


    Falma believed that servants should be part of the family too, but it seems that its not amon practice in this world.


    Because His Lordship is an apothecary for the nobles. He does not have time to pay attention to themoners


    Even though he is an Apothecary of the family?


    It is the way it is


    It was said that an aristocratic apothecary must not examine amoner. When a servant suffers from a severe disease, a 3rd ss Apothecary from the Apothecaries Guild will be called upon to examine the patient. He was surprised that the death rate among themoners was high because the medicines were expensive and treatment was dubious.


    The average lifespan of this world was low, assuming someone reached adulthood, there were few things that can extend someones life.


    Master Falma does not discriminate and is so kind to usmoners. I am sure you will be an excellent apothecary


    Lotte thanked Falma on behalf of all the servants. However he just said with a smiling face.


    Its absurd to discriminate against patients by their social status


    It was only natural for Falma, as a person from the modern world, to treat the patients equally and offer the best treatment.


    When in Rome, do as Romans do. Nheless, there are some things that cant be conceded.


    And now he had discovered another hidden ability when making a circle on his right hand.


    He can magnify what he is seeing through the circle depending on the size of the circle!


    To sum it up, the following are his abilities so far:


    I am undoubtedly, not a human being anymore


    It might not have been an exaggeration when Ellen suspected that Falma was the reincarnation of the Medicine God, Falma had arrived to the same belief.


    Falma should be ecstatic from having very convenient abilities. However, his wariness outweighs all of it. Furthermore, Falma was really troubled that he doesnt have a shadow probably because it waspensation for his abilities. The people in the mansion hasnt seem to noticed it, but it was only a matter time before they do. He made sure to only walk in the shade.


    Doing it that way, he can hide the fact that he doesnt have a shadow.


    But, what about after that?


    It was still OK if it was something like a divine possession, but what about if it was something like a devil? Falma was anxious about it because it would be troublesome if he told someone and a spiritualist heard it.


    (Ah,e to think of it)


    Falma suddenly realized while sorting out his abilities, he checked something in the jewelry box. All of the jewelry inside seemed to be very expensive. There was a brooch, a ring, and other jewelries. He was not interested in the jewelries, instead he picked a ssware.


    Here it is! I can do it with this


    He collected part of jewelries that had ss and broke it into small clear balls. Then, he heated up the ss pieces over the fire and rounded of the corners to make it into marbles


    That was the important part. That day, Falma made something out of ss marbles and a metallic te in just a few hours. That small work was a simple version of what was his favorite during his past life, he was restless if he doesnt have that one.


    Oh well, I hope this is good enough for now. Although I really wished for this one to have a good performance


    He was not satisfied with his workmanship, but it will achieve its purpose for now.


    That simple handicraft on his hand was glinting in a sh.


    Master Falma. His Lordship has called you


    Several days had already passed, Falma was already getting used to the life in the mansion and he also remembered the faces of all the servants. He had just finished lunch and now was reading while rxing with Lotte in the garden, Simon the Butler came into his room in a hurry and called him out. The Butler was the highest ranked servant in the de Mdicis family.


    I wonder what this is about, I have a bad feeling about this


    Every time Falmas father called him, it was always been not good.


    Mostly it was a surprise quiz of quack pharmaceutics thats waiting for him.


    If thats it, then everything was still fine.


    He thought about when his father called him in the past. It was a full moon that night when they went together to the herbal garden, there seems to be a magic square drawn on top of the center of the gazebo. His father had a frantic expression with both hands waving while chanting some kind of incantation, like it was some form of punishment game. It was said to infuse divine power to the herbal nts.


    Falma, who was bitten by the mosquitoes from the bushes, thought that it was a miserable experience. He was doubtful that his father was really a famous apothecary.


    He had enough apanying his father on his outdoor activities. However.


    This is your job as an apprentice Royal Court Apothecary


    Work. It was the first time Simon called out Falma for that.


    Its the medical examination for Her Imperial Majesty


    Falma shivered as it finally came.


    Finally it was his first job.

 Volume 1 - Ch 8

    Its me, Falma. Iming in.


    Several servants and apothecary apprentices gathered to help Bruno with his preparations. Though, Ellen was not amongst them. Bruno then made them leave.


    (What?)


    It seemed that Falmas father was hard at work, as he could see that his father was losing weight recently. He also remembered that his father had this dry cough for a long time now.


    (It certainly seems bad; Ill have to check on itter.)


    Falma then casually ced his hand on his left eye.


    Whats wrong? Does it hurt somewhere?


    Falma lost his concentration for a moment when his father spoke, and stopped his examination.


    Falma was unable to continue, as he drew attention.


    Stand at attention when listening to what I say. Youre cking off!


    Yes.


    Falma quickly stood at attention.


    Absolute obedience towards ones father was the custom of this world.


    The condition of Her Majesty changed, suddenly.


    If youre not in the condition to go, then stay here since youll only be a hindrance. Otherwise, get dressed immediately and apany me.


    The contents of this conversation couldnt be heard by just anyone as Falmas father hushed his voice, despite clearing everyone out of the room.


    It was unusual. His father didnt look confident.


    Ille with you. What made Her Majesty ill?


    I cannot say for sure, but her recovery is taking a long time.


    The condition of Her Majesty took a sudden change for the worse in the few recent days. The live-in Chief Physician (Royal Court Physician) was the attending physician that was constantly monitoring her. Sadly, he didnt have any considerable sess in improving her condition. Thats why Bruno was called almost daily as well.


    (Is the condition of Her Majesty or her disease being kept secret? I wonder were they able to give the correct diagnosis?)


    Falma decided toe along as an attendant. Only the Royal Court Apothecary and their apprentice were able to diagnose the Empress. 1st ss Apothecaries and below were not qualified. Falma as an apprentice for the medical exam, was tasked to hold on to the medical bag, help with thepounding, and do menial jobs.


    Only the Royal Court Physician and the Royal Court Apothecary could perform the diagnosis and treatment of the Empress. The Royal Court Apothecary would prepare medicine based on the prescription of the Royal Court Physician. Assassination attempts aimed towards the Empress could ur, if the system ofpletely separating the diagnosis and the treatment were not in ce. The skill and the lineage of the Royal Court Physician and the Royal Court Apothecary were simr. One would diagnose the disease and the other would prescribe the medicine. The apothecaries of this world were different to that of pharmacists in Japan. The apothecaries have the right to independently prescribe medicine. If its done this way, you can get hold of an apothecary, even if one were unable to find a physician. However, physicians were different in the fact that they were able to perform surgical treatment.


    In such circumstances the Empress trusted Bruno, who was a Royal Court Apothecary, more than the court physicians. So much so that she appointed him as the Chief Royal Court Apothecary. Bruno, who was conferred the title of Archduke and living avish lifestyle, had the protection of the Empress.


    Brace yourself.


    Yes.


    Ellen had said that when there was a mistake in the treatment of the Empress, it caused the status of the Royal Court Physician and the Royal Court Apothecary to reverse.


    In other words, the fate of the de Mdicis family would rest on the oue of the Empress condition. It would be a serious matter if they failed. Falma knew this was the reason why his father was so agitated.


    (Is the Empress seriously ill?)


    Falma was preparing in a hurry while thinking about this.


    He only had one bag since it was the only one he prepared. Among the tools Falma had in his bag was a gadget of sorts.


    Master Falma, please do your best!


    Lotte put on Falmas best gray coat on him.


    See youter.


    Falma waved his hand and smiled towards Lotte as he left.


    Lets go Falma.


    Yes.


    Bruno de Medicis, and his son Falma who apanied him took horses provided by the stable boy. They rode the horses towards the San Flueve Grand Pce, where the Empress resided. Riding with a carriage towards the pce would be too slow.


    As the father and son rode their horses, they dashed through the main street of the royal capital along with several personal attendants.


    The Archduke ising through! Make way!


    An attendant made this announcement as the sound of a trumpet echoed through.


    Several elite Holy Knights that Bruno employed were gathered in a tight group. Allmoners lowered their head and made room for them.


    Falmas horseriding skills were magnificent. He was taught by Ellen and he basically inherited the skills learnt by the original Falma.


    As he would be helping in the medical examination, Falma grasped the reins while putting together the information he had obtained from Ellen regarding the Empress.


    Elizabeth II, Emperor of San Fleuve Empire.


    24 years old. She was actually an Empress from that young of an age.


    She came from a family of divine art users (fire attribute) with the most power in the whole continent. She holds the authority as Empress to all the countries within the continent.


    She was chosen by the temple, as the sessor of thete Emperor who died of illness, and she reformed the despotic government after she ascended the throne. She now reigned for 7 years.


    She showed shrewdness and expanded the empire with might that surpassed a military genius. She was known as the wise monarch that stabilized the political situation and developed the remote regions.


    Falma understood vaguely that her reign was simr to the Roman Empire or like the Russian Czar, who spread absolute imperial rule.


    The throne was not hereditary. It was a meritocracy. In other words, Empress Elizabeth holds thergest divine power and the best divine art in the continent. It was said that when she held on the divine power meter during the coronation ceremony, the gauge recorded the highest level of all time in the empire.


    To be blessed with strong divine power at birth would mean, royalty recognized by the gods, and by that logic it was something like the theory of theDivine Rights of Kings.


    (Emperor, I thought it was a title only, but they take the throne by true strength So powerful.)


    Falmapletely ignored his predicament as he admired the gauge of the divine power meter as it swung all the way around. Of course divine power wasnt the only aspect that was used to gauge the Emperor. Their talent was also taken into consideration as well.


    The vanguard knights had made arrangement with the gatekeepers and the golden grid gate of the pce was opened with bombastic sound.


    (The architecture is much more modern than our mansion. It looked like theVersailles Pce).


    The Imperial Pce had a magnificent baroque style view that looked modern as well as a vast garden.


    There was arge fountain with a golden statue at the center spouting out water freely. A vast park filled the back of the pce. It was magnificent.


    The Imperial servants lined up along the entrance wearing gorgeous costumes.


    Falma got off the horse with his father.


    We have awaited, your Grace.


    They were guided by the Empress aide as their eyes were dazzled by the expensive furniture. The hallway was covered with severalrge mirrors. They were moving quickly while being surrounded by several chambeins. They thought they were going to be ushered into a waiting room, but they were allowed by the court physician to enter the Empress bedroom immediately.


    When Falma entered the Empress room after his father, he saw the court physicians were waiting at the corner.


    They all wore the same ck coat. When physicians gave treatment, they sometimes got bloodstains on their clothes. This is the reason why they wore ck attire. It reminded Falma that his father was also wearing the same attire. Of course, they rarely washed their attires. This was an extremeck of hygiene.


    Chief Royal Court Apothecary, Archduke Bruno de Mdicis and his attendant have arrived.


    Enter.


    Falma followed his father and showed the same etiquette.


    The Empress wasid on her canopied bed. She looked awfully emaciated.


    Bruno exchanged words with the court physicians.


    As Falma was straining his ears to listen while holding his fathers bag, the Empress coughed out phlegm non-stop. With that, one could see that her condition had already advanced to hemorrhaging in her lungs due to the sight of the blood in her phlegm. She had recurring lung hemorrhages, it seemed like she was suffering from dyspnea. Bruno scanned the records provided and her meal contents with a serious gaze.


    Excuse me, your Majesty.


    Bruno went beside the Empress bed and spent time examining her.


    He respectfully bowed and took the Empress pulse without directly touching over her white silk cloth.


    (Is it increasing?)


    Falma observed Brunos condition while he holding his fathers bag. His father was a Royal Court Apothecary thus his diagnosis skills should be high. Falma was anticipating what could Bruno do.


    Bruno was checking the hourss and alternately checking the Empress pulse.


    When it was done, he collected a small amount of blood from the Empress fingertips and let it dripped into a petri dish. He also asked for saliva and urine samples, and examined them in detail. He diluted it in water made by his divine art, and ced it in a test tube and a reaction urred. He red at the astrology board with a serious look.


    Falma tilted his head in confusion when he saw this.


    (Is he diagnosing by divine art or fortune-telling?)


    Falma didnt believe that his father would be able to diagnose the disease with such methods. Ellen told him that his father was a famous and excellent Royal Court Apothecary even within the royal court. That he had excellent diagnosing ability. Falma initially doubted his father could be a Royal Court Apothecary with excellent fortune-telling skills. Though, In this world with divine arts, having a skill in fortune seemed to be really important to them.


    Bruno then bowed pompously and made eye contact with a court physician.


    The court physician responded in agreement and whispered into his ear.


    How was the examination, your Grace


    That is


    Bruno signed a document after he closed his eyes with a mournful expression.


    It was necessary to write down name of the disease to check whether there wasnt any discrepancy with the diagnosis of the court physician.


    Falma memorized all the names of diseases in this parallel world and their equivalents in Japan. Therefore, Falma would know if they diagnosed correctly if he knew the name of the disease.


    When Falma was eavesdropping on their conversation, it seemed the both of them didnt mention any diagnosis.


    He only heard nuanced phrases such as: her lungs are failing, the movement of the star are bad ording to the divination, her doom is upon her.


    (They didnt know the name of the disease?)


    Bruno then said Ill be using thepounding room and left the bedroom.


    Falma also tried to follow and help him, but he stopped Falma and said You do not need to see this, look after Her Majesty.


    Thepounding room had a lock. This was where the court physicians and apothecaries wouldpound medicine for the royal court. It was constructed beside the Empress bedroom.


    In there, Bruno hadpounded something and ced it in a sk, it was anesthesic.


    Falma knew what it was as the scent passed by him.


    (So it was a mixture of opium, mandrake and other ingredients to form a type of narcotic.)


    Falma could guess its contents.


    The apprentice apothecary positioned himself between the wall and the furnishings, and watched the course of events unfold, while suppressing his presence so as not to disturb them. At the time, the Empress had an intense coughing fit and woke up.


    Your Majesty, how are you feeling?


    Bruno ran and kneeled down beside the bed and asked the Empress.


    The Empress was wearing pajamas. Her cheeks were sunken and her skin was dry. She looked undignified. She was a pitiful sick person and it was obvious to those who saw her that the shadow of death loomed over her.


    Falma quietly watched her condition from a distance.


    Say it to me, honestly. Can I can I be saved?


    Bruno gently reassured the Empress who was giving up.


    It was an unexpected side of Bruno who was a loyal retainer of the Empress. That character was new to Falma who only knew him as the strict father with a dignified expression.


    Dont worry, for I was asked toe here. Her Majesty will definitely get better soon. Ive prepared medicine with excellent efficacy.


    It was a sedative.


    Bruno prepared medicine that had little toxicity, but not enough to result in death. They had abandoned the proactive treatment and switched topalliative sedation. The court physicians also agreed with this course of action.


    That was why Bruno didnt show Falma thepounding, because he didnt want to let Falma know that they had given up on the treatment.


    (Its obvious that Her Majesty is seriously ill, but)


    Falma would have liked to cheer as he anticipated what skills would be shown by the Royal Court Apothecary, but the father in question was abandoning her with heartrending grief as they started the anesthetic procedure.


    Please gently breathe this vapour, your Majesty, lightly at first


    The Empress pain would ease up when the anesthetic was given. In other words, the drug would dampen her senses.


    Call the temple priest, tomorrow night will be the end.


    ude, the Chief Court Physician, let off a big sigh and shook his head and informed the monarchs trusted aides and courtiers in secret.


    As the vapour of the anesthetic reached her, the Empress eyes started to doze off. The temple priest performed a prayer to wee a peaceful death. Aside from easing up the pain, there was nothing else to do but to wait for the Empress to weaken.


    (Nobody is going to cure her?)


    Falma, who saw everything was alone did not agree to this kind of treatment.


    Falma had decided he wouldnt meddle with the treatment of the Empress to make his father, as a Royal Court Apothecary, save some honor. In addition, he wasnt able to move as he was subconsciously bound by thew in Japan that a pharmacist could not do any treatment n until the physician did the medical examination.


    However, his father had already abandoned all hope of treatment and would not heed word from Falma who he assumed to be inexperienced.


    (The remaining people have left.)


    Falma didnt want to be under apprenticeship to his father anymore.


    Falma ced his left hand on his left eye and channeled divine power to his fingertips.


    His pupils had changed into bluish-green color and it emitted some light. At that instant he activated his [Diagnosis Eye].


    When Falma used the [Diagnosis Eye],color saturation of the world from his view drops. He raised his concentration. Both of the Empress lungs were suffering from a disease. He saw countless pale light emitting from the lesions. He could almost hear the organs affected by the illness scream.


    (This is be difficult. please dont fail me.)


    Falma hushed his voice to the point where no one could hear, and quietly named the disease. If he were in Japan, there would be a ce to examine blood tests. There would be all kinds of images, as well as results from a thorough biopsy, but because those kinds facility didnt exist in this world. Falma was unable to have such luxuries.


    Even though the [Diagnosis Eye] showed a pale light on the spots where the disease exist, it was not necessarily a malignant tumor. If he thought of the [Diagnosis Eye] as a normal image analysis, he would fail. In other words, illnesses such asmon colds and bronchitis would react to it as well.


    Metastatic Lung Cancer,Pulmonary Emphysema,Pneumonia.


    He called out the names of various diseases one by one, even if there was only a small possibility that those were the likely diseases.


    The color of the light didnt change. The light remained blue.


    (Its different? Is this disease particr only to this world?)


    It would be very difficult to deal with if this was the case. Falma, who was faltering, suddenly remembered that this was a parallel world of medieval Europe.


    (..Thats right.)


    He should take into consideration the culture and civilization level of this parallel medieval Europe.


    Besides, it was a disease that was said to be eradicated already in modern Japan and yet, could not be ignored, because It was still rampant in the developing countries of his world.


    The Empress was young, Falma subconsciously removed all unlikely possibilities.


    Tuberculosis


    The [Diagnosis Eye] cleared the name of the disease. The lesion that was wrapped in pale bluish light was changed into a snow-white light like a soul of a dead person being purified.


    This world called it the White Mortal Disease.


    During the middle ages on Earth, it was called theWhite gueand considered to be incurable.

 Volume 1 - Ch 9

    It seemed some chambein informed the young prince Elizabeths condition was not good, and he rushed to the Empress bedroom. The prince came towards Bruno, and requested he stop the administration of the anesthesia for a moment. Since it wasnt fully administered yet, it was still possible to interrupt.


    The prince was crying and calling his mothers name at her bedside. Elizabeth feebly stroked his head with her hands. This wasnt the hand of the Empress Elizabeth II who unified the whole continent, it was one of a mother that cared for her son.


    What would happen to the prince after she died? Such thought came across her mind. Falmas heart was shaken at the sight of the prince clinging to his dying mother.


    Falma, who still had his hand on his left eye, decided on a treatment n.


    Speaking about the cure for tuberculosis, there wasStreptomycinwhich was first discovered in 1943, but Falma rejected the because you needed to use a syringe. He decided to use the oral administration (Those that can be drunk by the mouth). Furthermore whenbining different drugs, he had to be careful about the disease bing resistant to the drug.


    Isoniazid.


    Pyrazinamide.


    Ethambutol.


    Falma decided on these three types of drugs as candidates. He wanted to use 4 types but [Substance Creation] was only possible if he closed his eyes and could imagine thepounds perfectly. He was only able topletely imagine 3 types of simplepounds with certainty.


    It was hard to remember macromoleculepounds. He knew the structure and could write down the structural form, but there were still lots of things which he couldnt imagine.


    The lights from [Diagnosis Eye] went out at once when he mentioned the 3 names, but when he looked carefully, there was still some dim light remaining. Falma felt uneasiness from that,


    (I should add one drug just in case, but should I?)


    Nheless, he added the 4th drug as an insurance.


    (Creating this image will be a feat of mental strength. I really need to imprint this to my brain.)


    He stared at the structural form he wrote on paper and closed his eyes for his brain to project it. He used his cleverness.


    Rifampicin.


    It had the mostplicated structure, but it was necessary for this drug to be the keyponent in the treatment.


    The white light went out.


    Your majesty.


    He folded arge handkerchief, covered his mouth and tied it behind his head to make a temporary mask.


    Falma decided to walk out in front of the Empress, bowed and introduced himself, and got straight to the point.


    Will you permit me to offer my treatment to your Majesty.


    Empress Elizabeth II faintly started at Falma from her bed with a nk expression.


    What, what did you say?


    There was no absolutes in the effects of the medicine. The condition of the patient could suddenly change and they could pass away before the effects of the medicine could manifest. Considering all that, he braced himself and he put some vigor to each of the word he said.


    There is a special medicine.


    Objectively looking at him, Falma de Mdicis was only 10 year old apothecary apprentice. He should be far inferior in skills and knowledgepared to the famous doctors serving the Royal Court, including his father. He felt insulted as a group of court physicians insulted him deliberately that he could hear them saying, What was this apprentice who doesnt know his ce talking about?. They heard nothing but nonsenseing out from this greenhorn.


    Falma! Stand down!


    His father, Bruno, yelled at him with a tremendous threatening attitude. With Brunos face turning pale, Bruno rushed towards Falma, binding his arm behind his back and leading him out of the room.


    Pleading not to say any untactful thing.


    Is what he said true?


    Everyone from the court physicians to the apothecaries was embarrassed and held their mouth shut.


    When was a new medicine discovered? In addition, what in the world is this disease?


    Many of the courtiers cast their eyes downward from the implicit pressure of the Empress. No one replied. The Empress, who looked away from the people she depended up, looked directly at Falma.


    You know it dont you.


    I know of it.


    Falma bowed down.


    The life of the Empress, who used Divine Arts more than anyone else, was in a precarious situation as death was imminent. And now, she would be euthanized by her most trusted Royal Court Apothecary and court physicians too.


    It a risk on to believe this boys nonsense. She was practically permitted to gamble her life away.


    However, she saw a certain absolute confidence in this boys eyes.


    They were eyes which were not clouded and seemed to know the truth.


    I will entrust my fate into your hands.


    Falmas and the Empress eyes met.


    As you can see.


    The Empress mustered thest of her strength to bow down. Her shoulders looked very delicate.


    I fully understand.


    Falma faced his only patient and took responsibility for her life.


    He cannot back away now.


    The court physicians and his father, Bruno, who are inside the Empress bedroom, just stood still. There was nobody to disturb Falma anymore. Meanwhile, Falma gathered casually some saliva samples from the Empress, left the room and said I will borrow thepounding room. And he locked himself inside.


    Wait for me Falma!


    His fatherter on bid farewell in the presence of her Majesty and rushed out to thepounding room to pursue Falma. However the door didnt budge an inch.


    Open this door now!


    While hearing the sound of his Father pounding the door with full force, Falmastainedthe saliva sample into a ss te in an experienced way. There were small bottles with chemicals lined up on top of the desk, he took a ss stick and quickly dipped it in. A ss te was heated over the me of themp, he then arranged the chemical bottles and one by one ce a drop on the sample.


    He took out a gadget that looked like a metal toy and ced the ss on it, he then held it up against the light of themp and peeked through it.


    (I knew it.)


    After Falma was convinced, his father destroyed the door using Divine Art and went inside.


    He broke through the locked room.


    In the dimpounding room that was lit up by the candlesticks were the father and son.


    The hair triggering tension made the air heavy in the room.


    Speak! What are you doing!


    ording to his father, it would seem Falma was performing some suspicious magic.


    What do you intend to do? This is none of your business. Stop it, what are you doing!!


    Bruno was enraged as his voice was trembling from the intense questioning of Falma.


    Im preparing the medicine for her majesty now.


    You fool!


    Bruno roared at Falmas exnation.


    Even if you look for a skilled physician all over the world, there isnt anybody that can cure White Fatal Disease! Dont brag about some kind of new medicine.


    (Huh? Did you just said White Fatal Disease now?)


    Falma stopped his hands.


    This is surprising, dear father diagnosed it as White Fatal Disease(Tuberculosis)? How did you know it?


    Among the court physicians, only his father knew that the Empress had tuberculosis. The court physicians only said about how the body fluids were affected by the constetion. Falma thought he was an ult apothecary and he misjudged his fathers ability.


    It reacted with my potion, signs of White Fatal Disease appeared. Im saying this with evidence to you!


    His father mixed the handmade potion and the saliva of the Empress some time ago.


    (Thinking back to it)


    Falma was surprised that the process was simr to a test to determine Tuberculosis. He wondered if it was just coincidence. There was noboratory procedure that appeared in any book back at Falmas house.


    Besides, there was the time when he saw his father dance like a crazy at the herbal garden during the night as he grinded the medical nts and poured divine power. That was how his fatherpounded the potion.


    (It had that effect!?)


    Falma was astonished.


    Is it written in any of the books?


    It is a new divine skill that I had developed. No book has it. Who do you think I am?


    Bruno de Mdicis, one of the 3 Royal Court Apothecary in the continent.


    Apart from being an apothecary, he was an Archduke who served as the president of a pharmaceutics university in the royal capital.


    If Falma was the renowned pharmacologist back on Earth.


    Bruno was the schr who lead the pharmaceutics in this one.


    Bruno and Ellen said they could create special effects on the medical herbs when they poured divine power into it. Bruno was the first in this world that systematically investigated the effects shown by the Divine Art on the medical herbs. Bruno invented arge number of original medicines.


    (Is that so. What is it with this parallel world?)


    Falma felt guilty as he only saw his fathers formtion only as an ult from a biased point of view. Perhaps the potion that was ordered to be handed to Ellen, and the potion that was given to Falma immediately after he got struck by lightning really was effective.


    Anyway, all of them were made from water conjured by Divine Art.


    While Falma was impressed, his fathers behavior still left some doubt in Falma.


    Why did you do it, dear father? Why did you act like you didnt know the name of the disease a short while ago? When did you start your diagnosis?


    They said that the diagnosis started 10 days ago. When the reaction of the White Fatal Disease increased by 30 timespared to thest diagnosis, his father felt mortified.


    Why didnt I told you? Because the White Fatal Disease (tuberculosis) is an incurable disease. An apothecary always gets close to the patient. What would you do if Her Majesty u helplessly plunged into despair? It is for this reason that a greenhorn like you wouldnt understand.


    So even though he had a diagnosis, he still yed along with the court physicians.


    Getting treatment for White Fatal Disease has no meaning for Her Majesty. Dont make Her Majesty suffer more humiliation on her deathbed. I never once in the past witnessed a touching hand that was able to cure the disease.


    There was a legend in this world where a king touched a patient with his [Touching Hand] and cured the disease.


    Therefore no one was able to tell the Empress she had tuberculosis as there was no cure. Only a god who had higher authority than the Empress could. If so, there would be rumors that the Empress received the vengeance of heaven, and it would affect the honor of the Empress


    Dont irresponsibly say something like a new medicine. A new medicine for the White Fatal Disease doesnt exist! That was even the opinion received from the Nova Root. New medicine? It is just your unsubstantial and idle fantasies!


    His father always got new information from this worlds most advance Nova Root Medical University. Bruno severely admonished Falma that it was dishonest to tell a lie to a patient. It was a serious crime to prescribe a cebo drug, and that he should confess that her majesty cant be cured.


    Bruno had thought all possibilities regarding the empress well being.


    (Father youtruly are a great apothecary.)


    Falma honestly re-evaluated his father, and he now bore a new deep sense of respect for his father. The reason his father had a dry cough these days was because he was infected by tuberculosis. It was clear, even if Falma didnt use his Diagnosis Eye. Bruno was infected because he was in close contact with the Empress, even despite knowing she had tuberculosis. Bruno had been seeking a cure for her Majesty,regardless of his own life.


    Falma asked his father again.


    I appreciate the concern. Nheless, father had thoughts of euthanizing Her Majesty.


    It was the best way.


    Falma nodded. He agreed, it was the best card his father could use.


    A special medicinedoes exist.


    Do not lie!


    It is not a lie, and it is something you should also drink.


    !


    Bruno was at a loss for words as his son had seen through him, and noticed that he contracted tuberculosis, despite having kept it a secret.


    When Falma conjured some water and washed his hands carefully, he wiped his hand with a cloth the he kept sterile, took a vial and a sk from his bag and ced it on top of the table.


    He turned his back so his father couldnt see, and held the vial on his left hand. The vial was also sterilized beforehand.


    (Will they drink a sweet syrup?)


    Potions (liquid medicine) are widely used in this world so it should be familiar to them. It was easy to drink and there was low repulsion to the taste. Patients with severe cough would be in a state that would make it difficult to take the medicine. So, Falma devised something.


    Look at me, Falma! Hmph!?


    His father did not miss the sh of the pale light.


    If you cannot exin what kind ofpounding you did, it is just poison! Whats your excuse!?


    His father almost reached the limit of his patience, and he immediately held up his gold wand and pointed it towards Falma.


    The wand was the sword of the nobles.


    Falma remembered the words Ellen said to him. For Bruno, it was the same as drawing a sword to his child.


    Please put away the wand, dear father. Do you intend to flood thepounding room in water?


    However Bruno didnt paid attention to his words. Falma ced the sk on the desk.


    Danse dpe de ce! (Sword Dance of Ice)


    After Bruno chanted and casted, he aimed his attack at the sk that was on the table.


    He didnt intend to hurt Falma, since Falma wasnt in the path of the attack.


    (He shot it!)


    A knife of ice was shot at a very close range. However, his father used a water divine skill which was based on water. Falma knew it very well, so he didnt hesitate.


    Falma stretched out his right hand to protect the medicine.


    (Vanish!)


    He imagined the molecr structure of ice exactly, and transmitted it to his right hand and brushed swiped the air. When the knife of ice made contact with Falmas hand, it totally disappeared.


    He then raised his left hand and created a thick wall of ice in an instant to separate his father.


    With just his bare hands only, no chanting or a wand, it was a perfect defensive barrier.


    Bruno didnt attack Falma anymore. His attribute was water but his specialty was [Positive]. Although Ice was water, he couldnt take it down because the attribute was [Negative].


    What?


    Bruno had his eyes wide open in fright as he didnt expect his son to fight back.


    Falma said to his father across the wall of ice.


    In the presence of her Majesty, I will exin the special medicine.


    Oh


    Everything will be ruined after this, is what Bruno thought.


    Bruno lost all hope and went into despair. He inadvertently began to ask Falma.


    W-who are you?

 Volume 1 - Ch 10

Falma de Mdicis was the second-born son of Archduke Bruno.

 Volume 1 - Ch 11

    The careful treatment of Empress Elizabeth was moving favorably.


    While showing up in the Royal Court with his father everyday, Falma was entertained by Louis (6 years old), the Imperial Prince. Everyday, the prince would be following Falma around and admiring the person who became the savior of his mothers life. Moreover, Falma was made to y billiards with the prince. It was only appropriate for Falma to let Louis win and be delighted about it.


    Its your win, your Highness. Youre really skillful, your Highness.


    Louis was put in a good mood with the praise.


    Yes, well have another game again tomorrow, Falma. So, I will take my leave for today.


    Falma sent off the prince to his equestrian practice. Falma was waving his hands happily.


    Thats not good Falma, why dont you ask them to take my job instead?


    In the same way with Louis, Falma became friends with the 14 year old Noah who was the empress page. His work included guiding and transporting the prince, he was also the princes ymate. Since the prince was always following Falma after his work as an apothecary, there was an increased opportunity for Noah to talk to him.


    Your job, huh.


    His Highness had been saying that he was tired of me being his ymate, and you would enjoy a nice break too.


    Noah said so shamelessly.


    I guess so, ying billiards was fun too!


    When Falma went out to the yground,


    Oh! Oh! I have good news. This is just between you and me, her Majesty is considering giving you a reward even though its too good, even for you. She promised some kind of a position as her Majestys personal Royal Court Apothecary. Damn, Im jealous. I also want to seed in life like you do.


    Noah was a young noble from a famous marquis, serving the Empress since his childhood by the order of his father. He told me he was personally taking care the Empress and the prince. This boy maintained a behavior of full loyalty in the front of the Empress and although he was doing a very nice job at it, he was a potty mouth and stubborn when the Empress was not around.


    Ites with some territory, huh? I-Im just the second son, its fine as long it has something to do with pharmacology.


    Even though it was called a territory, Falma didnt really get excited about it. His face was so stupidly nk that it made his sharp expression during the time he was working as an apothecary seem like a lie.


    Idiot! Is there a noble that isnt interested in getting a territory!? Its usually the second son who is more greedy than anybody else. I wonder why you arent interested at all?


    Noah was a noble, all he ever thought about was getting a territory of his own. Falma on the other hand, was straightforwardly thinking about pharmacology. He however would be very interested if it was about researching new medicines.


    There was nothing really particr to pay him back.


    This idiot, giving up on something he was receiving.


    Still Noah was insistently asking if Falma had anything he desired or if he had any goals in the future.


    Dont you ever tell anyone what I am about to tell you. This is just between you and me.


    Noah stepped in closer to Falma as he was gesturing to keep quiet. Noah was behaving like a good boy.


    I want to open a pharmacy. For themoners.


    For themoners? In spite you being a Royal Court Apothecary, youre a crazy idiotic person. A noble doesnt deal with that kind of despicable business. Thats a job for themoners.


    After continuing the treatment for six months, the Empress had almostpletely recoverd. Falma and his father were officially invited to the pce as honored guests rather than apothecaries.


    There was a notice beforehand that stated for them to be fully dressed. Falma, along with his father, went towards the pce using a splendid carriage that the Empress had sent. This time Falma didnt forget and brought his wand. It was something like a get well party, at least that was what Falmas father told him.


    When they arrived at the pce, the aura of the pce seemed to be different from usual. The pce was decorated with colorful rare flowers, and they were weed by the chambeins in full force in the hallway. Passing through the throne hall, on the 4th floor of the widely spaced domed atrium, a golden throne was ced on the marble staircase.


    Numerous nobles of the empire and courtiers sat around the hall.


    Falma sat down beside his father and straightened himself up as they waited for an audience with the Empress.


    Her Majesty, the Empress, has entered the hall.


    The courtiers and the lords stood up while a solemn anthem yed. The Empress, who was wearing a long crimson robe, entered the hall followed by her entourage.


    The Empress of San Fleuve Empire, Elizabeth II.


    Wow. . . so beautiful. . .!


    Falma was amazed. He almost didnt recognized her.


    Receiving the imperial crown, she sat on the throne with the Emperors Wand and nced over the courtiers. She wasnt the patient obediently followed Falmas words, but regained the presence of a sovereign ruler. She was overflowing with dignity as the Empress. Rosy cheeks and eyes with lustrous silver hair. She was showing off a radiant beauty.


    She greeted all her vassals informing them that she had recovered, and the nobles stated their congrattions.


    Finally, the Empress received an imperial script from the head chambein and read it out loud.


    Archduke and Chief Royal Court Apothecary, Bruno de Mdicis.


    Yes, Your Majesty.


    It was maybe because her health hadpletely recovered, the muscle-brained Empress felt motivated.


    I give up


    The throne is safe.


    This is true, but I have to apologize.


    I am only interested in pharmacology, and youve also given me a permit to open a pharmacy, so please continue being the Empress.


    That was the gist of his reply, Falma indirectly responded to her by writing a letter with the highest degree of honorifguage.

 Volume 1 - Ch 12

    I know Ive talked about opening up a pharmacy some day But why today?


    From an apprentice apothecary to the official Royal Court Apothecary, Falma de Mdicis (10 Years Old), who had been appointed by an imperial sanction by the Empress directly, was dumbfounded in the mansion of his family.


    A throng of craftsmen had intruded within the de Mdicis family estate. Yesterday, an envoy had came to ry the Empress intention. The Empire would shoulder the cost of establishing the pharmacy.


    Then today, it hade to this.


    Her Majesty was too impatient.


    Those were Falmas inner thoughts.


    For Falma, who was given an Imperial Charter for the pharmacy, was now given the responsibility of building a pharmacy from the empire. The Empressmand was a big deal. From the workshops that had Her MajestysRoyal Warrant of Appointment,petent stonemasons, quarrymen, cksmiths, lumber merchants, ss blowers, roofers, and virtually all craftsmen who were experts in their profession had journeyed and gathered with their apprentices. They told Falma they were first-ss craftsmen who had participated in the building of the pce.


    Since Im not mentally prepared, nor have the first drafts been made, would you leave for now?


    Falma, for once, tried to turn away the master craftsman who had their foot at the door of the mansion. Both of them were pulling and pushing at the door,


    As I have told you Young Master, an imperial order had been issued, really.


    They wont return as is, the nned construction site had also been decided, the craftsmen would be fired if they didnt start working today; Is what he was told.


    Heads will roll certainly.


    That was the line of thought of the muscle-brained Empress.


    Come on now~ The job will be quick.


    Ellen arrived at the ce that was in disorder. She was summoned by the carrier pigeon that was sent by Bruno. She was ordered to help the establishment of Falmas pharmacy. The empress strictly ordered Bruno to have Falma operate the pharmacy as soon as possible, so Bruno requested Ellen for help as Falmas support. On that subject, Bruno went to visit another noble today.


    Wait a minute-


    Huh?


    Im happy for your big promotion Master Falma, but what on earth did you do to get Her Majesty to do this, because that one is hasty. Like one time I-, I got caught insulting the monarch.


    Falma wanted to inquire more regarding that episode, since it seemed to be interesting, but he let it go.


    Theres a deep reasoning behind it, and its a long story.


    Regarding the establishment of the pharmacy, he retold the story about the chat with Noah, that was disclosed to the Empress. How Noah was quietly running errands to earn points from Her Majesty.


    That was quite a long story. So, what kind of pharmacy would it be? Do you have some rough image of what it would look like?


    Ellen leaned towards him as she asked.


    Do I have to decide right now? Im not yet mentally prepared for that. I would like to look around at the other pharmacies first.


    It was because that space would be his workce, he was carefully deliberating on his decision for the design. Falma thought it was not something to be decided by urging him to do it quickly.


    Stop it. The craftsmens heads will roll if you dont do it now, socially that is.


    Young Master, havent you decided yet on a draft n? I humbly beg of you.


    Im sorry.


    The craftsmen from the guild who were waiting are getting restless. Falma had no other choice but to move his hand.


    Enough already, Im just going to wing it.


    He was desperate already.


    Since his father and Her Majesty said that he could design the pharmacy however he pleased him, Falma had prepared for the worst, and started to draw a n. As long as there was an outline, the construction work would proceed smoothly and the foremans skill would let him see the confidence in their work.


    As for the location of the pharmacy, it would be built on the prime corner lot in The Imperial Capitals main avenue that the Empress had gained control of. The location was selected away from the shopping district of the Apothecary Guild. It was probably the forethought of the Empress, so in order for the business rival not be in close quarters.


    I got it! Fine details will be cedter on because the building will still be under construction.


    Wow, what does it look like Eh!? Wha


    At most, the craftsmen from the guild had been expecting him to draw at the level of a child, but once afternoon came, and Falma gave them the blueprints. They were left dumbfounded, because the drawing had many precise dimensions written on it.


    With this much detail, the job will be easy to do.


    After Falma and Ellen heard the opinions of the master craftsmen, they filled the blueprints using the interior design of the other pharmacies as reference.


    That very same day when the blueprint waspleted, the construction was pushed forward with amazing performance and speed. Construction budget influenced the construction time. As The Empire was the one ordering the work done, gold wasnt an issue, and arge number of people were able to build it using the highest grade of materials.


    A few days had passed since the start of the construction, the frame of the new shop had emerged from a plot ofnd in The Imperial Capital.


    Young Master. What do you want for the name of the store?


    A stonemason asked Falma for the name of the pharmacy. As he was looking around the neighboring shops, the name of the store was engravedrgely on the wall.


    Will Imperial Pharmacy do?


    Isnt it kind of pretentious?


    The gold emblem of an Imperial Charter was already hoisted up on the wall. There are several shops in the Imperial Capital that had Royal Warrant of Appointment, but an Imperial Chartered shop (Compagnie  Charte) was on another level and are rarely issued.


    If the pharmacy gained an approval from the empire even before it was established, it would have even more prestige and social standing.


    Please decide immediately or else the construction time will fall behind.


    You mean now?


    Now. Immediately. As soon as possible.


    The craftsman was short tempered. If Falma wanted to name it without pizzazz, it would bede Mdicis Pharmacy, but because it was a challenging job, it would be unwise to publicly use his family name, so he was troubled.


    How about if I call it Different World Pharmacy.


    After thinking a lot and being indecisive, Falma finally got a good idea and he murmured that line. After several hourster of concentrating on the splendid ornament, the gold ted signboard engraving waspleted.


    The name of the shop would probably read [Diversis Mundi Pharmacy] when converted to the roman alphabet from his previous life.


    Literally tranted to [Different World Pharmacy]. Falma viewed it in amazement as he wondered what to do about it,


    Sacred Pharmacy? Is that really its name? Isnt that a little exaggerated?


    When Ellen arrived at the site, she was surprised on the words on the signboard which was justpleted. Falma was surprised by that.


    Sacred? How did it became like that!?


    Falma blinked his eyes in surprised. It was because the term Different World was not amon word in this world, it seemed it was paraphrased as Sacred


    Because this was an Imperial Charter by Her Majesty, you will be fully protected as that was themand, it will be a sanctuary from the people on the same business, heck, it may be a sanctuary already when the Medicine God is here.


    Damn, I dun goofed!


    With that kind of name attached to it, it will certainly attract a bad crowd!


    And so, Falma regretted his blunder, the stonemason and the engraver had already finished their work so he went to eat lunch, and went back home.


    I dont want to find myself in discord with those on the same business as me. They might not let me borrow some medicinal herbs if I run out.


    He was troubled with someone harassing his business or damage caused by rumors. Besides, he couldnt help but feel that the naming of the store, which was practically shoving it in peoples faces by this worlds standards, was like trying to pick a fight at the front of some Temple, because it was called [Sacred] anyway.


    It doesnt matter now.


    Ellen was looking indifferently.


    Eh?


    You know its impossible to change the name. I think this would be an all out confrontation with the Apothecary Guild because it is a shop operated by a noble.


    It was because the types of medicine being handled are different, it was highly unlikely there would bepromise. That was Ellens analysis.


    Even though you have Her Majestys protection, you will still have strong opposition.


    That was because there are ways to interfere directly or indirectly.


    The first Imperial Chartered pharmacy and the youngest Royal Court Apothecary of the empire.


    The citizens and representatives of eachmerce guild hade to check it out, incessantly throughout the day. Also, because there were expensive things that could be stolen on the construction site, Falma had hired some knights as night guards.


    Before long, the leaders from the apothecary guild from the empire went and began to openly scout in front of the shop. When Falma was present at the location, the apothecaries would suddenly approach baring with hostility.


    Well, well, where is the store owner?


    The middle aged man that had a good physique, was believed to be a guild leader, he took off his hat and greeted Falma while examining the store. He was doing it in a polite but also rude manner.


    I am the store owner.


    Falma responded while not being particrly offended, because he was only seen as a child, there was no reason to be offended.


    Pardon for the intrusion! Oh my, youre too young.I am Veron, a leader of the Imperial Apothecary Guild.


    Nice to meet you Mr. Veron. Im Falma de Mdicis, Royal Court Apothecary, I operate this shop, thank you very much foring.


    I heard that you established a pharmacy so I came along, and it even has the Imperial Charter seal. I see, Her Majesty did something whimsical, no, thats rude.


    Veron was full of disdain as he only saw Falma as a child.


    Since Veron thought that because Falma was only child, he wouldn t be able to take notice or understand sarcasm.


    However, Falma didnt feel offended at all.


    Still, the name of this pharmacy is very much elegant, what kind of medicines do you sell? Are you selling something for someone as old as you, like candies (Bonbon)?


    They werent aware of Falmas reputation within the Royal Court. The guild leader Veron was teasing him by pretending to lick a candy with his tongue, and his posse of apothecaries went along with him and chuckled.


    However, Falma had high resistance to useless instigation.


    During Falmas previous life, every time he developed a new medicine, it was not only favorable reaction that he got, he also received objection and skepticism from researchers all over the world, there were terrible remarks in their sarcasm. There was even a fight regarding patents with a rivalboratory. He felt that he needs to deal each one of them, but it wasnt smart if he instigated them.


    I do intend to sell candies.


    Falma promptly nod as he announced with a smile.


    Its one form of a medical dosage though.


    He intends to sell lozenges. Salts for the sweating artisans, perhaps it was good to sell salty candy for mineral supplementation.


    Falma replied briskly and cordially in a child-like manner.


    Veron wanted to criticize Falma one more time as Falma doesnt seem to mind his words, but he cant just tantly nder a Royal Court Apothecary that had an imperial charter. Amoner who was being disrespectful towards a noble will be punished. Although sarcasm was permitted.


    Well, that is some splendid dedication.


    Veron ps his hands exaggeratedly.


    By they way, now that you have established your business, shouldnt you register as a member of the Apothecary Guild?


    Certainly, if you operate a business you must register with a guild. Falma decided to listen about it just in case. He wanted to proceed with several formalities smoothly.


    Its unfortunate but, the Apothecary Guild is for themoner apothecaries only.


    Only when amoner apothecary had served at the bottom of the pile for a long time, would theApothecary Guild recognize them and finally let them be independent. It was said they need to serve at least 10 years from starting their practice.


    You can join us if you really want, Ill ept you. Its going to be a tough for a long time trying to operate independently, you know?


    Veron was provoking him with a serious face.


    No, thats too much trouble. Ive already mastered the minimum skills as an apothecary. I will be selling new medicines that Ive personally developed, so its totally different from the shops under the Apothecary Guild.


    Since Falma was a noble, it was expected that he wouldnt be joining a guild for themoners.


    By the way, as for your Royal Court Apothecary made medicine, isnt it expensive? To themoners, they simply cannot get their hands on it.


    Medicines made by a Royal Court Apothecary used high quality raw materials. Top brass of the guild knew the market value of these medicines, so they know they shouldnt let thebusiness run slow, but having it expressed in this kind frank way of sarcastically pitying someone was just disdainful. So, Falma replied apathetically.


    I believe I can offer medicine, cheaply.


    Cheap? Oh my, nobles indeed dont take into consideration themoners pocket! For you its cheap, but how much is it, really?


    What the heck are you saying? You arent going to say youre going to crush this pharmacy right?


    Ellen appeared in the shop while crossing her arms, she scowled at them without flinching as a way to backup Falma. Ellens name as the best student of Bruno was known in The Imperial Capital. All of them acknowledged her superiority.


    No, not at all, we are just fellow businessmen in the same field, lets work together. Well then, I will leave for now.


    Leaving with words for appearances only, Vernon took his staff and left while sneering. It was just like a deration of war from the Apothecary Guild.


    Falma drifted his line sight up into the sky with a serious face. Ellen was worried about Falma, whether he was able to endure those cruel remarks or not.


    Dont mind them, Master Falma.


    Then Ellen followed up what she said,


    Short of just selling candies, what do you think about selling wafers with iron content? After that, nutritional supplements too.


    Really I think I should do just that, then.


    With the words candy from the provocation of Veron, he seemed to have an idea for his new products.


    Ellen greatly admired Falmas resilient mentality and being optimistic while remaining calm.

 Volume 1 - Ch 13

    You dont need to bother yourself with the Apothecary Guild. Those guys, even though they cant prescribe, theyre still so proud that theyre full-fledged apothecaries. Their harassment seems to be crossing the line.Theyre getting too disrespectful and will be punished. Ill beat them up with my Divine Art and leave them floating in the river, or even something more dangerous. A noble can easily overwhelm amoner using Divine Art, theres no need to be timid. That was what Ellen had said as encouragement.


    Other than that, we didnt think of our merchandise. Although I didnt think of what to sell, since this is a pharmacy, I made space anyway.


    He didnt really mind the apothecary guild.


    His mind was now full of the face masks, bandages, medicinal wafers, band-aids, and energy drinks that he nned to sell.


    That reminds me, Master Falma, where will you be getting your supply of medicinal herbs?


    Ellen ced her hands on her waist with a serious look. Her slender fingers were digging into her waist as she held on tightly.


    Since Lord Bruno is a schr, he doesnt have enough raw materials to sell. Do you intend to just borrow raw materials forever? You have no other choice but to grow your own materials. Besides, you have to take into ount the material supply, cost ounting, production cost, and wages you have to pay the producers.


    Ah, I see.


    Is that so? Arent you being too careless?


    I have the substance creation skill, so I dont particrly need to depend on medicinal herbs, however


    Falma changed his train of thought; it would certainly be suspicious if it wasnt apparent where he bought or got his supplies of medicinal herbs from. He hadnt told anyone about his substance creation skill, not even to his father or Ellen.


    I think you can borrow some medicinal herbs grown from the territory that was granted to Lord Bruno without much problem. Lord Bruno told me that Her Majesty ordered that you could use it.


    Ellen suggested this to Falma.


    Now that you mentioned it, fathers fiefdom did increase.


    The territory of Marseille is already a major producer of rare medicinal herbs, so itll be rtively easy to obtain new medicinal herbs. Since it also has a port, imported raw materials from the Ismalic and Indain areas are easily obtained as well.


    Ellen knew her geography really well.


    Eh? Imic and Indian areas?


    Falma felt a sense of deja vu from these names that sounded simr to the ones back at Earth.


    Speaking of which, he still hadnt seen a map of this world yet.


    Thats right. We have to go and greet the people of the Marseille territory soon.


    Falma remembered that the name of the ce was the same asFrances Marseille (a harbor city).


    Falma was looking forward to seeing the territory and what kind of people the citizens that produced the medicinal herbs were.


    With the cooperation of his father and Ellen, Falma was able to acquire all kinds of tools and equipments necessary to operate the pharmacy.Bnce scale, vials, measuring spoons, medicine wrappers, sk, beakers, medicine cab, all kinds ssware necessary for research, chemicals, medicinal herbs, cauldron, small pots, writing utensils, etc


    After that, he created the medicines for expected diseases using his substance creation skill and stuffed them in medicine vials.


    Masks, bandages, medical supporter, etc were ordered from the craftsmen to be manufactured. From cough drops to salt candies, as well as multi-vitamin wafers were ordered from the confectionery.


    For the time being, manufacturing these goods are not enough.


    Its because our main business should bepounding medicines. You should be putting up medicines for sale that are made after hearing the requests from the patients.


    Falma nodded in agreement; he shouldnt get his priorities backwards.


    I think this is fine too. I dont think we have time to sell all of them. So, Its alright if we take our time selling them slowly.


    Lotte had been watching the situation while helping Falma pack, she seemed to feel a sense of loneliness.


    Master Falma is so busy these days, right? Are you going to work on the pharmacy during the day, ande back home at night?


    I will be back home during the evening.


    Falma didnt stop his hands from packing stuff.


    Is that so?


    They hardly ever met these days And Lotte understood now, that the time she got to spend with Falma would significantly decrease when the pharmacy opened., She was dejected and disappointed at this thought.


    If Im not home during the day, Lotte, you can take a break or take it slowly because your workload is decreased.


    Falma was really worried about her.


    However Lotte had said that she didnt like being separated from Falma, even though it would make her busier.


    Because I want to devote myself topounding medicines and diagnosing illness, I want to employ someone to handle the general and financial affairs of the pharmacy.


    When Falma was discussing this with Ellen, Lotte had raised her hand instantly.


    Me!


    Lotte?


    I rmend myself! Im good at calction. My handwriting is beautiful too. I can clean properly and thoroughly. So I want Master Falma to employ me!


    You? But youre only 9 years old!?


    I dont mind trivial chores, I want to be helpful to Master Falma! I! I, Charlotte, by all means can!


    She was speaking with such sparkling eyes, Falma had no chance to refuse her, even though he thought what she would be doing was basically childbor. He asked permission from his father to employ Lotte and he was told he could do anything he liked.


    Well then, I wonder if I can ask you to run errands here and there.


    You may use me without holding anything back! Please leave it to me!


    Thus, Falma decided to employ both Ellen and Lotte as employees of the pharmacy.


    The following morning,


    Oh, Mr. Cedric.


    He was an employee who had a familiar face, he just got his retirement bonus, and with his luggage all packed up, he was ready to leave. All of the servants had gathered and handed him a bouquet of flowers to see him off. The man that handled all the financial affairs for the de Mdicis family, his name was Cedric Luneau, and he was a Baron. Falma met him as he was just about to leave the mansion.


    Master Falma. I, Cedric, am retiring today and Ive been honored to have served your family.


    Bruno said he had let Cedric go because he was having trouble in both of his knees from overworking for a long time. Although being fired was a bit harsh, Bruno let him go under the purpose of letting him recuperate in the countryside. In addition, it was said that Cedric also received a small territory from Bruno.


    Cedric already said his farewell to Bruno some time ago and was about to finally leave.


    Master Falma and Lord Bruno too, I am grateful to the both of you.


    Nheless, Cedric, who was bowing and holding a walking cane, was too young to retire as he was only in his early 40s. Falma had started to say hisst goodbyes and Cedric was moved to tears.


    Mr. Cedric, what would you do from now on?


    I will live quietly in the countryside, since I have the retirement bonus and the territory I was granted from Lord Bruno. Although I still desire to work in the mansion despite my knees saying otherwise.


    Cedric miserably said as he patted his knees.


    You still want to work?


    Very much so.


    Well, would you like to work together with me?


    As you can see, my knees are bad, so I wont be able to walk properly, I will be useless if I cant move easily.


    Cedric was rubbing his knees. When Falma used his Diagnosis Eye, there was inmmation on the so-called knee joints and liquid was umting.


    You should be able to work in the store sitting down, and do clerical work. Its your specialty, right? Mr. Cedric, you are able to do financial work and know a lot about the empiresw. You also know how to make official documents too. Therefore I want to hire you for your expertise. Also, since I think that your knees will improve to some extent with medicine, I will prescribe a medicine for it regrly.


    For you to be able to do that much Even Lord Bruno didnt have a medicine to cure the pain for this knee. Sufficient rest was the only medicine.


    It wasnt wrong to rest quietly in the bed as a conservative treatment. Thats why Bruno didnt give Cedric any medicine.


    I agree that rest is certainly a medicine, but I think I can make you morefortable. I can make apress for you too, but it all depends upon your wish.


    If you really want to employ me, then by all means!


    Cedric epted it willingly as he cried.


    Im counting on you, Mr. Cedric.


    Thus, Cedric was once again hired to help Falma, and continued to work.


    Even so, the timing on which his father dismissed Cedric was just too perfect that Falma suddenly suspected it.


    Several days after the inauguration of the pharmacy, Bruno had returned from his business trip and called Falma to his study room. He was busily reading a thick book and was writing something.


    Did the preparations progress well? I heard from Elonore that everything was going well.


    Yes, I deem it is generally progressing well.


    You may use the family herb garden as long as you dontpletely take it all. Did you hear about it?


    Yes, I heard it from Ms. Elonore.


    Father pped his hands to call Simon the butler.


    Bring that thing.


    Yes, my Lord.


    Simon the butler and three servants brought a big box by the order of his father, Falma braced himself as for what was inside the box. Simon, with a smile, gave the key to Falma.


    Please open it.


    While being confused, Falma ced his hand on top of the box and unlocked it.


    With this, please do your best in managing the business. I know that youre already receiving financial help from the empire. However, in order to present great work, lots of money is needed.


    His fathers expression was so bright, Falma stared at him in shock.


    Money will not be an issue anymore.


    However, it was certain that Falma was embarrassed.


    Since you hired Cedric, entrust the money to him, he will manage the assets well. It would be dangerous if you entrust it to a bank.


    This is too much to receive.


    This is really an important time for you, my dear son. Let me be a father once in awhile.


    Dear father this money is the revenue of the family estate.


    Falma didnt know a lot about the situation of currency in this world, but he wasnt mistaken.


    What? This was supposed to be for your tuition and school expenses to enter Nova Root Medical University. But you dont need to go to that university anymore, since you have the divine oracle of the Medicine God and the badge you got from Her Majesty too, this already makes you a full-fledged apothecary.


    As Falma was about to say something, his father cut him off.


    I would like to look good in times such as this, this is what being a parent is all about.


    Bruno was touching his beard as he was saying so.


    I thank you very much, dear father. I will use this carefully.


    Falma decided to ept the gift. It waster known that the value of the gift was 1/5 of Brunos assets when Cedric checked on it. It seemed like Bruno splurged.


    And thus the Different World Pharmacy was fullypleted.


    The store was a 4 storey tall pharmacy that also served as aboratory which included a break room. As for theyout of the store:


    The 1st floor was the main store.


    It included a counseling room for the customer that also served as the waiting room andpounding room, It was a functional space.


    The interior decor included bright lighting, but because the medicines were sensitive to light, they were stored in opaque bottles and stored in the medicine cab. There was however, a space to sell goods such as cosmetics, pharmaceutical products and customizedpounded medicines.


    The 2nd floor included a lounge and the clinic.


    It was the ce where all the seriously ill patients, and patients that needed to be isted were examined, and where medicine was administered. It was also a ce to take a rest. This floor was also the ce to check on a patients condition to see if medical follow-ups were necessary. This floor had one examination room and one istion room, both had 4 beds. There was also a bathroom.


    The 3rd floor was the break room for the staff.


    It had a bed, sofa, living room and dining room. This ce was where the staff took breaks when the pharmacy closed during lunchtime. It also included a kitchen.


    And the 4th floor contained the medicine developmentboratory. It was a room with a lock where Falma could devote himself to his research. This was the ce where he developed medicine. Theboratory wasnt really big, but it had enough space for one person working. He securely locked it at night.


    Eehh? The pharmacy has a waiting area.


    Ellen saw in amazement, a long sofa, that was veryfortable to sit in, near the entrance of the shop.


    There would be probably many sick people who needed medicine. Thats why it is important that they sit down while waiting. It would be easy for them toe and go.


    Of course this concept was not original to this world, it came from Japan.


    A water dispenser was ced beside the counter. It would be a free service for the customers.


    The customers can drink clean water for free? But clean water is not free, you know?


    Ellen opened her eyes wide.


    I didnt spend money on it.


    Dont tell me, it was made from Divine Art?


    Falma nodded in agreement as he drank the water. The water was nice and cold, it was refreshing to the throat. Lotte got another serving as it was tasty. Falma sighed through his nose as he had to add more waterter, because Lotte was drinking too much.


    Because I can freely generate water, I can offer it to people that are in need of rehydration. Clean drinking water is not easily obtainable in this world, so I think I can use this to attract customers.


    Its so simple. Since water made from Divine Art is precious, themoners dont usually have a chance to drink it, so there would definitely be a line ofmoners who would want this water. How about putting the generated water into the bottle and setting a high price for it?


    Basically, anyone who use the services or buys medicine in the pharmacy will get to drink the water. Afterall, a sick person definitely needs clean water to drink.


    Ellens impression were that some customers would onlye to the shop just for water.


    The rate of returning customers would certainly rise.


    Thats very logical, no shop had done it until now.


    Young master, the clothes and shoes you requested are done.


    The shopkeeper from the tailor shop across the street had entered the shop.


    Oh, its done?


    As the shopkeeper was weed to the pharmacy and was offered some water, Falma checked the clothes.


    How are the lengths. I made two sets of clothes.


    Falma put his arms through the sleeves on the brand new work clothes. When Lotte saw him, she pped her hand in amazement.


    This is just right, thank you!


    Falma paid the bill. He procured a lot of items necessary for establishing the pharmacy from the shops nearby. This was done instead of doing a simple greeting to them. They were able to remember his face thanks to this. There was one shopkeeper who came to the pharmacy once everyday acting as an order taker.


    Master Falmas clothes looks unusual. But its not shy, even though its white and lovely to look at.


    Lotte was charmed while repeatedly shouting he was fashionable.


    Falma received from the tailor a custom tailored white coat uniform that had long sleeve and straight up cor referred to asCasey type. It was a long white coat for doing experiments. The crest of the shop was on the shoulder, and the badge with a golden crown patter, that symbolized the Royal Court Apothecary, was on the cor. The physicians and apothecaries of this world seemed to wear ck coats everyday. Still, Falmas white coats would soon be familiar. When doing experiments in theboratory on the 4th floor, he would wear a longer whiteb coat. When showing up in the shop, he would take off the longer whiteb coat that had been stained with chemicals.


    Since he had no shadow, his snow white coat that was dazzling to the eyes would serve as camouge Somewhat.


    Wearing a white coat does calm me after all


    Falma was originally a researcher so it was like a work uniform to him. Since, he said this seriously, Lotte and Ellen looked each other and thought why would he say this if this was the first time he wore it.


    What are we going to wear?


    It was not necessary for them to wear a white coat, any light colored clothing would do just as well. Since they made stains more noticeable, Falma ordered sets of clothes for two people.


    However, several dayster, Ellen was also wearing a simr white coat with a standing cor, that was tailored just for her. It perfectly enhanced her body figure to the fullest. He didnt know if the tailor made a mistake in the measurement or intentionally made it a size smaller.


    Ellen had requested a white coat too?


    Ellen exined the reason with a touch of making excuses before Falma could say something more.


    If everyones attire is different, the shop wont have a sense of unity. So I deemed that this uniform must be absolutely tailored. So, How do I look?


    And thats not all, Lady Elonore even said that Master Falmas white coat looked really cool.


    Lotte revealed to Falma.


    Grrr, Lottelita! I didnt say it like that.


    Lotte had a functional bright white dress that was tailored for her which included a frilly apron. Cedric too had a white tunic with an apron. It seemed the Ellen used her own money for the uniform.


    Oh, thats nice. It suits everyone.


    Hehehe. I really love this feeling of tightness!


    Thus with all the preparations ready, the opening day was fast approaching.


    Falma gave instructions in front of the three staff members on how to start the operation of the pharmacy.


    There are a few things I want you to remember before we open the pharmacy to the public.


    The three people became tense at what was said.


    Falma was saying it very seriously.


    First of all, all staff members must take care of their health at all times.


    He reflected back on his past life on how he died from overworking because of too much zeal, this time he would correct his past mistakes by setting a goal. It would be a policy that business hours would only be carried out between 9 AM to 5PM, and their would be two days off per week. There would be winter and summer vacations, and paid leave of absence as well. Of course, Falma personally pledged too that he wouldnt stay up all night researching and developing new medicines.


    Thats right We shouldnt overwork ourselves.


    Ellen smiled as if she was a bit worried. Falma nodded.


    There is a saying in a far off country, The art of medicine is a benevolent act. With this, thou shalt ease the hearts of the people, and assume the role of protector and savior.


    I really like poetry. What country was this poem said from?


    Ellen asked for the source. It was a verse in the book calledYojokunthat didnt exist in this world. The motto came from the world of his previous life.


    A sick person whoes here will be saved no matter who they are. Assuming we cant cure them, we must at least ease their hearts and suffering. I want to work with that in mind.


    I see. It is an ideal that must be etched into ones mind. Are there any specific objectives for the time being?


    Cedric asked in jest. Then Falma clenched both of his hands tightly.


    I want to raise the average lifespan of the citizens in the Imperial Capital by 10 years, immediately.


    Falma stared at each of their faces.


    Ellen and Cedrics faces were in disarray and their jaw dropped. Lotte was just staring nkly as she didnt know what average life span meant.


    Wha-, What did you say? Increasing the average lifespan? But there is no way to increase it.


    We should be able to do it.


    Falma dered. In all seriousness And Ellen became speechless. Right now, the average lifespan of the people of this continent was about 50 years old. It was a number that the nobles had put out.


    What you thought up is really amazing Your ideas are different from us humans.


    Ellen was frankly impressed as she believed that Falma was the reincarnation go the Medicine God who descended upon all people to save them, and thought the n of this god had begun.


    Just like that. Lets all get along, everyone.


    Falma held out his hands,


    Yes! Lets do our best and have fun!


    Lotte answered cheerfully and ce her hand on top of Falmas.


    In order to repay thisrge debt of gratitude, this old man Cedric will do his best and be prepared with selfless devotion.


    Cedric rolled up his sleeves and extended his hands while sitting down.


    Yup, however dont overwork yourself. We want you to work while keeping your mind and body in check.


    Ahaha, I made a mistake. You are right!


    Theres nothing you can do about it now.


    Ellen finally ced her hand to move with the flow.


    The next day was clear and sunny.


    The opening ceremony of the Different World Pharmacy was conducted.


    An imperial envoy who was dressed beautifully, read aloud the imperial letter in front of the shop. At that time, citizens and shopkeepers watched as they were huddling in the distance.


    A brand new silvertticed gate was opened on the wide main street, and two apothecaries wearing a white coat and two assistants, for a total of 4 people, were standing in line.


    Therefore, I would like to say that we believe that we can support a very healthy lifestyle for all themon people in the Imperial Capital.


    No matter how anyone looked at it, the shopkeeper was an apothecary who was no older than a ten year old child, a Court Apothecary even, introducing himself to all the citizen present, greeting them without looking at any cue card.


    He seems to be the second son of Archduke de Mdicis.


    What is a grand noble doing in a ce like this? Did he got the Imperial Charter and build the pharmacy using the influence of his parents?


    Hes using polite speech I wasnt aware a noble could have that kind of attitude towards amoner.


    Nobles dont usually speaks withmoners aside from their servants. Anyway this is such a long speech. Even if the speech was written by his father, it must have been hard to memorize it.


    I dont feel that this was memorized.


    The citizens were interested in Falmas speech, because the boy shopkeeper was emphasizing on the fact that he would focus on the desires of the patient and provide medical care for patients to live better. What they heard was very new to them. The speech was over in about 15 minutes. The citizens were all listening until the end.


    Then starting from today, I have the privilege to start my business.


    Their voices melded together.


    The pharmacy staff formed a single line and, they deeply bowed together in front of the citizens.


    And said their first greetings.


    Wee!!!


    Themoners witnessed a radical scene in which a noble bowed down to themoners. It became a hot topic in the city for a while.


    And thus, in a corner of the Imperial Capital, an out-of-this-world pharmacy was built.


    Royal Court Apothecary, Falma de Mdicis (10 years old)


    First ss Apothecary, Elonore Bonnefoi (16 years old)


    Financial Affairs/Legal Affairs, Cedric Luneau (42 years old)


    Secretary/General Affairs, Charlotte Soller (9 years old)


    The pharmacy for the masses,was one of the many praises said about the up anding pharmacy with an Imperial Charter, Different World Pharmacy (DIVERSIS MUNDI PHARMACY).


    Depuis (established) 1145 was subsequently the year that this gship pharmacy in the imperial capital was founded.

 Volume 2 - Ch 1

    A month after the pharmacys establishment.


    The Different World Pharmacy still had no crowd.


    However, they had yet to receive any harassment from the Apothecary Guild.


    No matter how anyone viewed the shop, it looked like a store that catered only to the aristocracy, was what Ellen said.


    Different World Pharmacy had been established for themon people, but despite that, clientele such as wealthy merchants and lower-ss nobles were the only ones who sparsely visited the shop. With that said, some high-ss aristocrats viewed the apothecary shop as third-rate, deemed it not suitable owing to their family status, and therefore not able to reasonably meet their demands.


    Nevertheless, they often came by to purchase cosmetics and hand cream. Though in case of a serious illness, the aristocrats would still seek the service of a First or Second ss Apothecary to make house calls, and thus had no need to buy medicines.


    Besides that, they would also arrive all dressed up to the utmost. They wore the same clothes they would wear when arriving at a ball. There were also some nobles who wore medals. Although the shopkeeper was just a child, he was still the second son of an Archduke. In addition, the Charter Mark in front of the store, made the shop quite overbearing.


    The store didnt look like something anyone could visit while wearing just their every-day clothing. Must it be written on the signboard?Was what Falma was wondering about.


    Though before that, he was troubled on how to attractmoner customers.


    Meanwhile, during their daily lunch break hour. On the third floor of the store, in the staff break room, the staff members were taking a break and eating lunch. By the way, in order to have Cedric, who has a bad knee, be able to get to the break room on the third floor, they installed a manual elevator counterweight (bnce weight) the day they decided to hire Cedric, and so, Cedric could nowfortably ess the third floor.


    While eating lunch, their topic was none other than: How to getmoners to visit the shop. It was the so-called luncheon meeting.


    Its not like customers will suddenlye flooding in.


    Ellen handed Lotte a piece of bread while drinking her freshly squeezed juice.


    Well, since we have the time, its fine if the patients starting in little by little. People who are in real need of treatment, or those who need medicine.


    Despite Falmas high expectations, no such patients came to visit.


    Because I thought something like this might happen, I did some thinking!


    It seemed like Lotte had been giving out questionnaires regarding Different World Pharmacy over thest couple of days. Since Lotte was the onlymoner amongst the staff members, it was easier for her to talk to the people on the streets.


    I will now announce the results! Ive asked 100 citizens residing in Royal Capital of San Fleuve! And have received multiple answers.


    You really did well, Lotte, youve been a big help. Nevertheless, Im scared to hear the results.


    Falma started pping. At the same time, he started preparing his heart.


    Well then, please go ahead and announce it. Lottelita sure is talented!


    Ellen waved her hand in encouragement.


    Those who thinks the Imperial Charter emblem is scary  48 people.


    Slip, the three people pretended to fall down.


    Those who dont know how to speak formally to a noble Apothecary, and so they stay clear of the shop in order to not conduct a sacrilegious crime  a scary number of 46 people.


    Ah, so it was like that, the three people were convinced.


    Those who dont have any noble-like clothes to wear, and feel conscious if theye to the shop  25 people.


    Theres no need to be conscious,was what Ellen retorted.


    Those who are afraid of the Knight Gatekeepers  19 people.


    Its not like the gatekeepers werent smiling, was what Falma wanted to say in the gatekeepers defense.


    Those who do not trust the medicine issued by the Apothecary because hes just a child  18 people.


    Its because of me!Falma fell on top of the table.


    Because of the signboard price is negotiable, those who are scared of the high price of the medicine and consultation  12 people.


    Those who cannot read the signboard and are scared to enter  10 people.


    Lastly those who said its because the manager is a child  8 people. Thats it.


    Supported by adys maid, the youngdy who was leaning against the carriage looked terribly pale.


    Ah, how could this have happened. Youngdy, please do put yourself together.


    Falma was being guided by the attendant through therge crowd, and they moved towards the voice in the buried within.


    Sir Apothecary is passing through, please make way! This way please, Sir Apothecary.

 Volume 2 - Ch 2

    After one week, pleasee back again.


    During that period of time, I will prepare the skin whitening powder.


    Therefore, please dont ever have phlebotomy performed until then.


    And so, that was the promise Falma gave to the young Marquis daughter, Chloe. It was already dark in the Imperial Capital, and the shops had already closed.


    I will be leaving soon. Master Falma, are you still working hard?


    I am, looking at the situation right now.


    Lotte went up the stairs to the 4th floor.


    Master Falma. We are going back to the mansion, why dont you leave the research for tomorrow? A carriage ising to pick us up.


    Lotte was worried, she knocked on theboratory door to check Falmas situation. Beyond the door,Thank you, but go home first. I will be staying today,was what Falma told her.It seemed that Lotte was waiting for a while in front of the door. Falma locked theboratory while researching. He must not be seen using substance creation, and it was dangerous if he inadvertently spilled some chemicals. He would only invite a person who knew how to handleboratory instruments. Ellen sometimes came.


    Like Master Falma has told us before. Master Falma, please do not overwork too much. I am already worried that you didnt eat lunch.


    Then after that, theboratory doors suddenly opened.


    Thank you, Lotte. Ill end todays work. Lets go home.


    Yes!


    Falma remembered that he was about to be too immersed in his work again. Beingpletely absorbed in his work was natural for Falma, so he had to be careful. This was even a greater burden on a childs body.


    He declined, this time, to die from overworking. He wouldntst long if he wasnt rxed. Thus so, Falma self-reflected.


    I wonder what todays dinner is.


    Yes! Youre hungry I see.


    The two people rode on the carriage that picked them up back to de Mdicis family mansion.


    He continued to research during business hours only for a few days without being unreasonable with his health. When Falma appeared in the staff break room from the 4th-floorboratory, the staff spat out their drink.


    Prrfftt! What the hell happened!?


    Ellen went back to change her clothes because her white coat got dirty after bursting intoughter.


    Master Falma, your face is too white!


    Lottes eyes became wide.


    How? White?


    Falma became embarrassed when he heard Ellenugh her heart out again after returning from changing her white coat.


    Why did you apply it on your skin by yourself!? Why did you apply it on your own skin!? I say its better to apply it to a woman.


    He hadnt seen himself in a mirror, but Falma believed he looked likesomeone wearing a white face mask.


    That is the whitest I have seen so far. It has the sense of translucence, and the features have depth too!


    Ellens fingers were slightly trembling as she was trying to touch his skin.


    This whiteness is surprising.


    Falma didnt originally have pure white skin. Since he had been training in Divine Art outside in the sun for so long, he was a typical tanned kid. Though now, he was white as snow. Well, only his face.


    Women of this world that had white skin were deemed more attractive, so his goal was to make a real medical white foundation.


    Ah, but Ellen seemed to look troubled.

 Volume 2 - Ch 3

    Hmm?  You apply it with this first?


    In front of the mirror, she picked up the cream that very much interested her.


    Yes, apply it to your face lightly and thoroughly. Next is this. Its ok if you just dab the powder. Just make sure topletely cover it.


    She applied the powder earnestly on her skin, that was coarse like an egg.


    Your skin texture rejuvenated like a 5-year-old!


    By the way, Falma, from now on, if there art any new products of Medique, thou shalte and present it to me.


    While she was dabbing her face with loose powder, using the highest quality makeup brush, the Emperor of San Fleuve, Elizabeth II, informed and reminded him.


    Hahaaaa!


    Ah, for a 24 years old woman who can use the strongest Divine Art in the empire. The Empress, is certainly sensitive to fashion trends.


    Falma understood. So he worked out some praise.


    Your Majesty, your skin is already very beautiful. I think that the whitening face powder is unnecessary.


    Hahaha, thou praises made us ufortable.


    The Empress seemed to be in a good mood while looking up, she held a high-quality folding fan encrusted with jewels covering the lower half of her face.


    It is a Royal Chartered shop with an investment from the Empire. Is it not only prudent for the invention to be presented to Her Majesty first?


    Eh!?


    That was the interaction between Falma and his father. So, he went to the Empress in a panic to pay his dues. Considering the big picture, the rare and trendy 2nd cosmetic brand store should be presented to the Empress before opening. The young page beside the Empress, Noah, moved his mouth spelling out Idiot. The Empress was gently stroking her cheeks cheerfully, she couldnt take her eyes away from the mirror.


    Hmm This is so wonderful! We should go to the next royal ball just like this. We will be more distinguished among the women.


    Falma was apologetic because all the women had bought the product too, so there wont be that much of a difference. He appreciated that he was permitted to do the presentation thiste, because of this, he presented some more beauty products to the Empress, though she was already very beautiful to begin with. Furthermore, the ingredients were safe as well.


    This is our newest product. The medical lip gloss is gentle to the lips. Your Majesty, you will be the first to try this one.


    Ooh, This one is sparkling.


    It was a new medical lip gloss that was jointly developed by the Apothecaries of Cosmetic Brand Medique, and was based on Falmas original idea. The natural color shined like a pearl. It was different from the t red paste.


    Hmm, this is good.


    It seemed she liked it.


    Your Majesty, thank you for restricting the use of lead, mercury and other toxic substances in products that are applied on the human body.


    When the presentation was over, Falma expressed his gratitude over the promation of this reform edict. Falma had made a list of chemicals that should be prohibited immediately, and reported it to his father. The authority of the Empress was the same as before. Ever since the divine power meter incident, as well as the pharmaceutical knowledge Falma had shown, both the Empress and Bruno began to slightly suspect that Falma was possessed by some supernatural existence beyond human intelligence. Thus they could not disregard Falmas words anymore. Incidentally, the Empress, and even Bruno have not noticed that Falma didnt have a shadow.


    We were surprised that those were harmful. For mercury and even lead, there are already numerous medicines that contain these ingredients avablemercially.


    It is as you said, your Majesty.


    We will have everything that was used by the female attendants in the imperial court disposed of.


    That sounds good.


    That was what Falma advised. Within the imperial court, not only the female attendants but also the infants had been smeared with makeup that was toxic. Thinking about their safety, they should prohibit it immediately.


    On the other hand, thou shop of cosmetic brand, Medique, seems to be promising.

 Volume 2 - Ch 4

    Hmm, we finally arrived.


    The sound of sea waves breaking on the shore could be heard.


    Three members of Falmas family exited the carriage. One was Falmas father, Bruno; another was his mother, Beatrice; thest was his younger sister, nche. Each one of them carried an appearance that showed they had been waiting for this day toe. Falma was thest to get off. He took a deep breath of the crisp and salt infused air, then stepped firmly on the chalky ground. They had disembarked near the Mediasean Sea.


    After travelling a whole day from the Imperial Capital via carriage, they had arrived in the Archdukes province of Marseille.


    True Era 1146, half a year had passed since the establishment of Different World Pharmacy, Falma had be 11 years old.


    A great 360-degree panoramic view spread out before the servants of the de Mdicis family.


    The pure white hillsides and beaches made a vivid contrast against the blue sea that appeared to be glittering to the eyes. Stone houses of the nearby fishing vige dotted along the coast, their red painted roofs and pure white walls facing alongside the hill. In the emerald green ocean, trading ships came and went busily. A ship could be seen anchored at therge trading port. A scenery that certainly resembles Southern France.


    We have been waiting for you our Lord, the New Archduke of Marseille.


    Hmm, I see that youve been doing well, Adam. Youre still burnt by the sun.


    Yes, I did not neglect to patrol the province day in and day out.


    Bruno greeted his butler Adam, who was the acting Governor, also known as the manager of the province and supervisor of the farmers. Bruno received a bombastic greetings from the knights, who warmly ushered him to the Lords Mansion on top of the hill. There, Falmas family was weed and served a light meal.


    Since Bruno wasnt a native feudal lord of the Marseille province, he assigned Adam: a young, well-behaved, and able butler from the de Mdicis family (A rank lower than a Steward), as the acting governor.


    Adam had dark brown hair, dark skin, and deep chiseled features.I wonder if hes Hispanic?, was the impression Falma had towards Adam.


    The province has 21 viges, 47 knights, 635 farmers, and 938 medicinal nt growers. . .


    Please have a look at this map of the province. From here to here is the area that will be the medicinal herb ntation, while the farnds and pastures will be over here. The harvest of each district will be gathered here.


    Compulsorybor, conscription will be done on each vige in rotation. . .


    And so on and so forth, Adam reported to Bruno as he showed various documents rather quickly. It appeared he had carefully practiced this presentation. Though he also seemed to be tensed too.


    What is the status of the harbor?


    While Bruno was ying with his mustache, he pointed at Marseille harbor.


    There are 14 trade routes, connecting with harbors from 31 countries and 3 colonies,


    Yes, as you know, Marseille harbor is the pride of the Empire that boasts the second busiest trading port. Trade is higher this yearpared tost year, our top 10 trading partners continue to transition their imports and exports to us year after year.


    Hmm. Not bad at all. Both trade volume and tax revenue have increased.


    It is as you said, but the Nederground East Indai Company have been showingtitude. Since this was a former province of a Marquis, but is now the province of an Archduke, my Lord should bear in mind our rtions with them. Because they are apany that has been granted a royal charter by the country of Nederground, they dontply to tax collection,they have the rights to wage war, and negotiate treaties.


    As for foreign trade, it is desirable if there is freedom to do so. Reduce the tariff rate. But if they still dont follow our rules, then drive them away.


    Is this alright my Lord?


    If we lower the tariff rate, both people and goods will flow in. As for the logistics. . . What are you still doing here Falma? You go y outside, the sandy beach is wonderful.


    Bruno noticed Falma, who had erased his presence and blended in with the wall to eavesdrop. He seems to be cautious as he drove Falma outside.


    Waa, I can see the sea!


    After hearing what was said, he had no other choice but to go out while being in high spirits like a child.


    Dont go into the sea!


    Yes!!


    Nederground East Indai Company. . . Isnt it just like an imitation toDutch East India Company (V.O.C.). . .?


    Falma was finally convinced that there was no doubt about how simr the geography of this world was to his old world.


    The next day Falma was brought to his father by Cedric, with the attending Knights apanying them on 3 carriages. They went off to inspect the medicinal herb ntation closest to the Lords mansion. There, many medicinal herbs were nted in the arablend that waspartmentalized. The farmers who were working in the fields had stopped to respectfully greet the new feudal lord and the young nobleman.


    Is the production of the medicinal herbs going well?


    Oh, yes. We were able to supply our annual tribute as usual.


    It seemed it was very unusual for a feudal lord toe directly for inspection, the farmers felt very much obliged.


    Very good, continue to work hard. Cedric.


    Yes, my Lord.


    Cedric came down from the carriage with a wand and rolled up his sleeves, then he ced both of his hands on the ground. After he lightly psyched himself up with aHmph, his hands began to give out a warm orange light.


    Blessings of Mother Earth (Bndiction de terre nourricire)


    Burbling sounds could be heard as the ground rose up to form concentric circles, like a chain reaction..


    Lets see, perhaps. . .


    Falma noticed the undtion of the earth as it moved along the ground.


    Falma, dont tell me you forgot it already?


    Hahaha, its because I havent shown this to master Falma before, mainly because I forgot to. Since I am a Divine Art user with the Earth attribute, I was able to give the blessing of Mother Earth to the ground just now.


    Cedric Luneau was also a respected Divine Art user.


    I entrusted him with the important duty of promoting the growth of the herb garden in our mansion.


    I see.


    I cant smell any manure being used as fertilizer, and the medicinal herbs are also growing at such an amazing speed, is there really such a thing?Falma was surprised. He thought some kind of fertilization wouldve been carried out but. . .


    The farmers showed their gratitude to Cedric, because of him their work had be easier.This years harvest is going to be quite bountiful, dont you agree??, the vigers said many optimistic things such as that. Few nobles had the Earth attribute, and those who did were quite valuable.


    Are there any other problems?


    Bruno asked them.


    We had a slight drought this year due to ack of rain.


    Is that so?


    Well then, this would be my gift to you all.


    Bruno drew a simple Divine Art formation with his wand and then started to do his questionable dance, causing a haze like a mirage to envelope his entire body.

 Volume 2 - Ch 5

    The inspection of the Archduke of Marsielle province continued.


    By the time Bruno had begun eagerly listening to the citizens story, it had already be noon. asionally, he would also assist with the inspection by using his Divine Art. In the evening, they ate the signature dishes that were offered up from the various regions as tribute. A few days had passedduring which, he lived a substantial life of inspection, eating, more inspection, and more eating.


    One daywhile spending time at the Lords mansionFalma received a sudden notification. It was a message from his father which said:


    This is very urgent; I have been invited to Count Chillons castle tonight. It appears that all family members and servants are allowed to attend as well.


    Count Chillon was was a young feudal lord who ruled over a territory that was right beside the province of Marsielle.


    Bruno, who had already eaten his dinner, still wanted to proceed and meet him. As he wanted to introduce his butler, Adam, as the acting feudal lord.


    Have a safe trip!


    Lotte sent them off with a smile after she heard they were going out.


    You know that Lottelita ising as well.


    Ellen smiled wryly.


    Eeh, I cane too? But I am just a servant!? Right!?


    This time everyone is invited, even the servants. Come, lets dress for the asion.


    A banquet was a social gathering. It was also a way to test how generous and influential a feudal lord could be.


    Thinking about all the kind of dishes and desserts that would be served, Lotte got hungry and became delusional. She almost unintentionally drooled, but she managed to gulp it down and hold her mouth shut.


    I, I, I, I, I! What if I? What will we do if the dress I am going to wear is not elegant enough for the banquet?


    Dont worry, youll be wearing this. I bought it for nche, but its still too big for her.


    Is it okay if I wear it!?


    Lotte put on the dress that Falmas mother, Beatrice, presented to her and became ecstatic.


    Waa, thank you very much my Lady!


    But still. . . I wonder if its okay to go.


    After Lotte put on the dress, Ellen shifted her sses and began to apply Medique cosmetics. She brought her face closer to the mirror and muttered those few words to herself.


    Huh? Why? I thinks its fine if Ellenes with us.


    Falma, who had received the clothes prepared by Lotte, looked back at the rather anxious Ellen.


    But Ive only heard bad rumors regarding that Earl. I wonder if we are going to be poisoned.


    Ehh!?


    When Lotte shrieked after hearing this, Falma just shrugged and held her cheeks to reassure her:


    Its going to be alright, since I will know right away if something is poisoned.


    Something like trying to poison a party consisting of the Royal Court Apothecary and First ss Apothecary would be a bad n.


    The young Count Chillon was also known as The Blue Earl (Le Comte Bleu). It was said that hes been married countless times, but each time the wife would disappear within a month.And thats not all, Ellen brought her face close to Falma and pushed up her sses. It was a habit of hers to do so when she wanted to emphasize her words.


    There have been rumors that theres a forbidden room inside his castle. They say that the wives were killed there. . . I heard the story from a servant who had imed to seen the bodies of his wives in there.


    You sure do know a lot, Ellen.


    Falma thought they were just false rumors after seriously thinking about it.


    Enough already. You sure do know various pieces of information from trivial to useful though, Miss Ellen~


    Ellen was at an age where she wanted to be act an adultdy. Ellen was still a woman despite being a First ss Apothecary. She seemed to get her information from socializing with the upper sses of the nobility, like a ballroom dance party for example. Gatherings such as those, which are held regrly, provide a good opportunity to learn new rumours. Even today, she was wearing an evening dress with high degree of exposure that emphasizes her breasts.


    Bodies of the wives that were killed. . . Falma felt a cold sweat upon hearing this. That was because,


    This ispletely an episode from Bluebeard(!). . . The wives are missing, and theres a small room in the basement.


    Falma was bewildered after listening to the story. He wanted to believe that it was all just a coincidence.


    One more thing, there are rumors that the Earl is ghastly blue.


    Ellen put on her stylish sses with one hand, while using the other tob her hair. Her movements appeared to be strangely seductive.


    Doesnt this mean he has abloodlesplexion?

 Volume 2 - Ch 6

    Theres a child with no shadow?


    Yes.


    An old man was wearing a characteristically styled hat of a priest, a cape, and a white robe with a stand-up cor where the hemming was embroidered with gold. He was the head priest of the Guardian Church of the Wind; a Marseille parish.


    This Head Priest had just received a special report from a parish priest. The Guardian Church was under the jurisdiction of arger Church organization that could be found all over the continent, for each guardian deity it has its own Church. This Church had a guardian deity of the wind attribute.


    Yes, an orphan from the orphanage imed to have witnessed it personally on the beach. ording to the orphans story, the boy with no shadow had removed a portion of the seawater to help a drowning child.


    What? Isnt it just a made up story from child? Ignore it.


    The Head Priest didnt pay much attention to it, simply signing the piled up documents with a quill.


    It would be great if that was the case, but. . .


    The priest began to exin in a very serious manner.


    Since the orphan was annoyingly noisy about it, the priest in charge of the orphanages religious affairs went with the child to the beach the next day. And then. . . it seems that divine power had umted in that area.


    umtion of divine power means that a powerful Divine Art had to of been used there.


    You said the next day, so it still remained?


    The Head Priest was doubtful. If arge scale Divine Art was used by a powerful Divine Art user on the level of Emperor, then some divine power will umte in that area. Though it would only remain for up to several hours. For it to remain for a full day, that was hard to believe right away.


    Im certain that the umted divine power didnt disappear. Many priests have confirmed it too.


    Thats abnormal, the Head Priest got flustered.


    The seawater was removed. . .? Did he use a Water Divine Art of the negative attribute?


    Do you really think so? The orphan said that a column of seawater was removed. Can a Divine Art do such a thing?


    If it was true that the umtion of divine power had urred, then it was certain that the boy with no shadow had used a Divine Art. However, he had never heard of, nor seen, such a Divine Art. The Head Priest, who had finished signing the documents, began to grin unkowingly as he listened closely to the priests story.


    Colorful lights were leaking in through the stained ss windows, causing a fantastical atmosphere to drift into therge room where the Head Priest was located. The me of a nearby candlestick was wavering solemnly.


    Yet he had no shadow. Wait, what does that even mean in the first ce?


    Could he be an evil spirit?


    Nheless, evil spirits dont usually walk in broad daylight, nor can they umte divine power since they havent received the divine blessings of the Gods. That was the conclusion the Head Priest had came up with.


    The boy they saw was said to have light blonde hair, and his skin was slightly fair. Within the diocese of Marseille, there isnt a boy that has blonde hair and the negative attribute of water.


    It was a strange story. Even though the Head Priest had been in power for a long time, he didnt remember anyone who would fit that description. First of all, the Head Priest had memorized all negative attribute users of every element within the diocese of Marseille, since negative attribute users were very rare.


    Does the orphan who witnessed still remember the face of the boy? It might be a Divine Art user from another diocese.


    The Head Priest began to press for an answer.


    They were quite far away, so the orphan didnt get a good look.


    If he thought about it carefully, the child might have mistakenly seen that he had no shadow and can erase water because that person has a powerful negative attribute. The Head Priest decided to contact the upper echelons. He was afraid that a child with such a powerful ability might recklessly use their divine power in the city, because they are still immature. So that it would not turn out that way, centralized training from a special agency would be necessary.


    Get in contact with the Inquisition Bureau. And locate the boy.


    As youmand.


    The Inquisition Bureau of the Great Church. It was a bureau specialized in purging heretics and exorcising evil spirits.


    A few dayster, an order to search for the boy was sent to all the parish churches on the continent.


    Such events were not known to Falma.


    Falma and the gang finished their inspection of the Marseille Province and went back to the Imperial Capital. While they were gone for a week, the pharmacy had been closed. Upon their return, the business was reopened. Just as Falma prepared to go back to work, the Captain Knight guard from the pharmacy rushed over to de Mdicis mansion.

 Volume 2 - Ch 7

    The Church.


    It was an international group that ruled regions both within and outside the continent.


    Even though they are a religious group, their influence was beyond the scope of just a religious organization.


    The Church appraises the Guardian Deity of the Divine Art user during baptism which is performed soon after birth. The Divine Pulse would be opened through a blessing and will give them the qualification as a noble. In addition, to those who had been considered tock the qualities of a noble, their Divine Pulse will be closed by force, and their social position will drop to amoner. Any nobles who decide to rebel against the Church, are banished for eternity.


    When an emperor or a king of a country was chosen, the Church too would present them their royal staff and crown, officially granting them the authority.


    Therefore, the power of the Church exceeds that of an empire, and they wouldnt even mind starting an all-out war with the Empress of San Fleuve if they were determined to do so.


    The fact that Falma was only a second son of an Archduke, who was only the Chief Apothecary employed by the San Fleuve Empire, didnt matter to the church, as they simply didnt care.


    They decided that Falma was a non-human, and would be wiped out as a heretic.


    There are a total of seven Inquisition officers riding on their horses. It was a gathering of Divine Art users from all 4 attributes.


    Since Falma was feigning to be a Divine Art user of both water and wind, he was fighting back with ease without exposing his secret.


    An attack from the ground from an earth attribute user would be defended byying a thickyer of ice on the ground; the me from a fire attribute user would be erased with the Negative ability; the windstorm from the wind attribute user would be met by the shield made of a wall of ice; toying with the horse using a waterspout to make the rider fall, and attack them physically with ice pebbles to destroy their wands and neutralize them Alone against seven highly experienced users, the boy jumped around ces while showingposure, while the inquisition officers began to show signs of fear and impatience.


    The ice barrier that contained Falmas divine power was much tougher than any metal, as it withstood the brunt of fire attacks and was fully insted from heat.


    In addition to that, the attacks that were known only by the Church, which were meant for crushing evil beings, werent of use to them, as Falma was not an evil spirit.


    They could only monotonously and simultaneously attack using the 4 basic attributes in a cross fire battle formation. It was probably the first time the seven knights werent able to exorcise a heretic.


    To prevent them from noticing that he had a material creation ability, Falma fought back with his chantless water Divine Art. Still, because the Inquisition officers exhaust their divine power every time they used Divine Arts, the power of their Divine Arts would decline over the period of battle.


    Wait, this is


    The Inquisition group was getting exhausted, but it was theplete opposite to Falma, because as he used more of his Divine Art, his physical ability seemed to be increasing. The Inquisition officer sensed that divine power was gradually umting around Falma. In addition, it was to be expected that the power of his Divine Art should have decreased, but the divine power within his body wasnt being sucked dry like theirs.


    Rather, the divine power was swelling up inside of Falma, the officers suspecting that it might be flowing in from somewhere else.


    Wai wait


    Since a little while ago, let alone having no shadow, Falmas body began to glow in reaction to the excitement of the divine power.


    Dont you all look a little tired?


    However, Falma was still continuously receiving sessive attacks, only barely able to take a breath. The situation was getting nowhere, and the end doesnt seem to be in sight. Therefore, Falma decided to threaten them.


    He swung his arm lightly up, and drew a line on the air with his left hand.


    At the beginning, it was just a line studded with small ice crystals. Before it became enormous with amazing speed along with a roaring sound. In a sh it became an iceberg, so big that it shared the same space as the sky, making it impossible for the them to escape anywhere.


    The boy was smiling as the iceberg was floating overhead.


    If the boy decided swing his fingers downwards, there was no doubt anymore that everyone would be squished to death by the iceberg.


    Ah Uwaaaa!


    The horses began to rampage, and the Inquisition officers were thrown off their seats onto the ground. Just by its presence alone, they lost the will to fight by the pressure of the iceberg that covered the sky. Even if they fired off arge me in desperation, it was powerless in front of the iceberg that seemed to grow much more bigger.


    Ah, now I ampletely the bad guy.


    By the time the Churchs carriage that was summoned arrived, the page of the Empress, Noah, led an Imperial Guard Division of the empire. They rushed at full speed. Noah and the Imperial Guards were fully armed. The first thing they did was to confirm Falma was intact. After that, Noah faced the Inquisition officers and announced himself,


    Gentlemen of the Church, what business do you have to the Chief Apothecary of our empire?

 Volume 2 - Ch 8

    It was high noon of the day. A father was carrying a young girl on his back, and was knocking at the gate of a certain physician within the San Fleuve Imperial capital.


    Please examine her! Doctor Donald! Please examine her!


    However the gate of the physician was firmly shut, the silence reverberating inside the clinic.


    I ask of you please! My child has a high fever! This is strange, shes bing limp, this is strange!


    The voice of the father that was screaming frantically could be heard echoing throughout the street. Although he had a pitiful expression, passersby just turned a blind eye and went on their way as nobody wanted to be involved.


    The clinic of Doctor Donald is on a holiday until next week.


    A calm boys voice was heard from behind the father. Behind the man called Pierre, was a boy who was holding a pouch from a bakery on his way home.


    When Pierre saw the boy, he trembled. He was not a simple boy.


    Although the boy wore a ck coat, within it he was wearing a white doctors gown with a stand-up cor, while a golden badge with a crown symbol was affixed onto it. It was none other than the official proof of being a part of the Royal Court Apothecary. The child shop owner of the Diversis Mundi Pharmacy, seemed like he just finished shopping and was going back to the shop. It was a pouch from a popr bakery.


    Damn, of all the things, a troublesome person had appeared.As Pierre steps back.


    Is your child okay?


    The child shop owner worryingly approached and talked to him.


    Third ss Apothecaries and simr of this world would rub their hands as they got closer to examine a patient and would advise expensive medicines, but this boy, he sincerely looked worried.Is he a soliciting a business?, Pierre was vignt.


    We well You see


    As for the father, Pierre, he was an apothecary and a member of the Apothecary Guild of the San Fleuve Empire. For her daughter who was having a high fever, he had used expensive medicinal herb and ointment from the guild, but it wasnt effective, because she wasnt responding anymore. As her state was deteriorating and her consciousness was bing hazy, he decided to depend on a physician.


    I wonder if the boy is aware that Im an apothecary from the Apothecary Guild, the father suspects. The Apothecary Guild had been openly hostile to the Diversis Mundi Pharmacy, as the Guildmaster notified all members to stay away from the Diversis Mundi Pharmacy. Also, he heard that it was the Apothecary Guildmaster Verons n to crash two wagons into the pharmacy, which caused the pharmacy to close for two days. Pierre thought it was unfortunate when he heard it and felt sympathy.


    However, he cannot disobey the policy of the Apothecary Guild. If ones membership was revoked, their business permit will be confiscated on that same day.


    Therefore, being spoken by the child shopkeeper of Diversis Mundi Pharmacy, would be trouble as it would be seen by the surroundings as being close.


    Let me examine your child. I am the apothecary of the Diversis Mundi Pharmacy, Falma.


    He opened his coat, and showed his name tag. Although it was natural for pharmacist in Japan to wear their name tags, it was notmon for this world.Its probably pride in his work, Pierre guessed.


    The child shop owner said to follow him back to the pharmacy, but Pierre was reluctant.


    Whats wrong? Your child, seems to be really ill.


    Her face was flushed red, it was clear to everyone she waspletely limp.


    Well, but.


    He couldnt be indebted to the Diversis Mundi Pharmacy, but where could he consult a physician? He was going to refuse the offer, but Falma strongly persuaded him to better hurry and so he put on his hat and lowered it to cover his eyes so as not to be identified by the pedestrians as he followed the child shop owner, Falma.


    Diversis Mundi Pharmacy closes its gates during lunch break, the shops front sign being made of splendid stone. The golden emblem of the Royal Charter that was newly installed was dazzling. Probably because they encountered a surprise attack, there were three Knight Guards in in clothes. It was a world of differencepared to the fathers dirty and sooty wooden pharmacy.


    However, Falma didnt enter the main gate, as he walked towards the alleyway to the back entrance.


    Pleasee in over here.


    Ah, a person who looked poor shouldnt enter a splendid nobles shop from the main gate, Pierre was ashamed. Upon entering the back entrance, there was a spiral staircase to the second floor. Beds were lined up upon entering the examination room, and Pierre was instructed toy her on the bed.


    Let us begin the medical examination. First of all, the father should wear this.


    Pierre was handed a mask. To him, he didnt understand what the meaning of covering the mouth and nose was. However, it was a tradition to abide by the persons instructions who was conducting the examination.


    We entered the back entrance so as to prevent spreading the disease to other people.


    Falma exined. It seemed it was not because of social status or personal appearance.


    Falmas white doctors gown was now visible when he took off his ck coat, and he brought out his note. It was a patients chart. The name of the child, age, medical history, when was thest time she ate, since when has she had her fever, and so forth were asked in detail. The examination ended with the father questioning the reason behind knowing such trivial matters. Pierre was impressed at the collected article of urate information.


    Falma politely told Pierre to ce the little girl on the carrier at the corner of the examination room. When the little girl was ced on the box-type carrier, something like a scale attached on the side of the box moved. The shop owner was reading it.


    What are you doing?


    Im measuring the weight.


    Isnt weight measured in a scale bnce, Pierre was surprised.


    One weekter, at the headquarters of San Fleuve Apothecary Guild, dozens of apothecary representatives were gathered in the conference room as the monthly assembly was being held.


    All of the stores experienced a sharp drop in sales across the board?


    The guild leader Veron, who was inquiring about the slump in performance of the guild affiliated stores, was not amused.


    It is the fault of the pharmacy that was off-limits.


    Thats annoying! It may just be a hobby of a noble, but its really getting on my nerves.


    Diversis Mundi Pharmacy. At first they assumed that the off limits nobles pharmacy with an entric name would go out of business immediately when it was founded. So the Apothecary Guild took a stance of wait-and-see. However, what they came to realize was that the opponent was very tough, as it transformed into an unprecedented threat.


    Although it was a nobles shop that was formally called a Royal Chartered shop, the pharmacy had no shortage of customers that weremoners. In addition, there were queues of people waiting outside the shop for their prescription. They dontin either, as they just chat while waiting in line. There was an awning outside the shop, with chairs for the patients, all lined up. They were served with water and candies while they waited.


    In less than half a year, the second shop that specialized and cosmetics and skin care, Medique, was made public. It was said that a third shop that specializes in dental care would open soon.


    The most humiliating thing about it was that Vernons wife bought whitening cosmetics from Medique in secret. Recently, her white skin was always pointed out and praised. He smashed it all and threw it away.


    The re-opening of the business was strangely quick.


    I wonder if it has to do something with the financial power of the Archduke. Since that pharmacy is backed by the famous Royal Court Apothecary.


    The Empress too. Ever since that incident, Imperial Guards were patrolling that area every day.


    It was said that it only took two days to recover from near total destruction. Because the wagon that crashed the shop was extremely contaminated, they estimated it would at least take the pharmacy out ofmission for a month, it seemed that estimate was too optimistic. Of course, it was Veron who hired people of the underground organization to crash the wagon.


    Whether you knew it or not, Vernons pharmacy had received a three week business suspension as pinpointed by an imperial edict. It was because it was exposed that his pharmacy was selling medicine containing lead that was prohibited. Not only that, from some reason the Church oftenes to do spot inspection, the Head Priest of the Diocese of the Imperial Capital can be seen frequently in and out of Diversis Mundi Pharmacy. With these, he cant touch that pharmacy anymore.


    In any case, when Diversis Mundi Pharmacy was established, the sales of the shops affiliated with the Apothecary Guild suddenly dropped.


    40% of their customers were taken. Their regr customers also went to Diversis Mundi Pharmacy.


    In addition, products that contains mercury or lead were prohibited by the Empire through an Imperial Edict, so they cant deal with some medicines containing those anymore.


    Her Majesty must have been brainwashed by that pharmacy.


    Veron bitterly said so. The other members also agreed.


    Would you please share what you think of that pharmacy? Mr. Pierre.


    Among the apothecaries who were bad-mouthing Diversis Mundi Pharmacy, he asked the poor apothecary, Pierre, who just sitting on his seat and kept silent, for his opinion. Pierres shop was the first one to suffer from decreased sales because it was the closest to Diversis Mundi Pharmacy.


    Since Pierre was silent the entire time, it naturally attracted attention.


    What is your opinion? Isnt your store the one that got heavily affected by this?


    Pierre was suddenly cut-off.


    Who among us apothecaries have ever entered Diversis Mundi Pharmacy?


    I wont even dare to go there since that is businesspetitor.


    The apothecaries snickered.


    You should at least go and see it once. It almost looked like a sanctuary.


    Pierre stood up vigorously from his seat.


    Once you visit that ce, you will understand the feelings of the customer as to why they wonte to our shop anymore.


    Dont tell me, Pierre Did you go to that pharmacy?


    A directive had been issued that they shouldnt go near that ce. Breaking that directive was going against the guilds policy The assembly hall was in uproar.


    Yes, I admit I went there. I went to that shop.


    Pierre said passionately.


    How good was the treatment provided by the shop owner of Diversis Mundi Pharmacy? Lets just say that after Pierres daughter recovered, he made up his mind to revisit the pharmacy. He looked at all the items that was sold in the shop, and bought numerous candies. He listened to stories directly from the patients who visited the pharmacy. The child shop owner said hello and asked Did your daughter recover?, and they chatted for a while.


    The more Pierre learned about the shop, the more he felt that this pharmacy shouldnt be ostracized and all pharmacies should be like this one. He thought that it wont be profitable because the medicines were cheap, but due to the sheer amount of customers that came, it made a profit. The apothecaries should humble themselves and insist on letting the pharmacy teach them the medical treatments and medicines sold there.

 Volume 2 - Ch 9

    Falma de Mdicis, shop owner of the Diversis Mundi Pharmacy and the Royal Court Apothecary, was the first member of the Pharmacy Guild and also the de facto Guild Master. Apricum per Foliis Pharmacy was renovated after two months.


    Now, the remodeled Apricum per Foliis Pharmacy was a pure white shop, aplete makeover from its previous state. There was no rush in opening, so they decided to take their time. The shop owner, Pierre, featured a curving mustache, a fresh hair-cut, a neatly sewn white medical gown with a namete and a badge signifying his status as an authorized seller. Starting from today, he will sell new medicines in cooperation with Diversis Mundi Pharmacy. He learned the knowledge on how to use the medicines, and the craft of customer service. He also learned business management. He had learned all the things that was necessary.


    Knight Guards in in clothes were dispatched from Diversis Mundi Pharmacy, their order was to guard this shop with scrutiny.


    This was to prevent any potential thefts of the medicine and to hamper the potential harassments from the Apothecary Guild.


    Apricum per Foliis Pharmacy sold a variety of things; more types of cough drops than Diversis Mundi Pharmacy offered, wafers with iron and calcium, antipyretic analgesics, eye drops, and all sorts of vitamins. Diversis Mundi Pharmacy specializes inpounding sophisticated medicine for specialized patients, who were seriously ill. On the other hand, Apricum per Foliis Pharmacy aims to differentiate itself by handling colds and the flu, rtivelymon diseases, and nutritional supplements. The number of patients had swelled in Diversis Mundi Pharmacy, to the point that it became too much to handle for both Falma and Ellen, which resulted in patients not getting examined. A decision was made to move some of the medicines to be sold at Apricum per Foliis Pharmacy.


    A few days ago, to improve PR, leaflets were spread out, indicating that Diversis Mundi Pharmacy had opened a new pharmacy which they recognized as a business partner. Patients who had rtively mild symptoms with their chronic disease would be sent to Apricum per Foliis Pharmacy.


    Ah, finally. I wonder what would happen today.


    Pierre suddenly became anxious, wondering if any customers woulde. Will the customerse from Diversis Mundi Pharmacy since they were selling almost the same medicine? Will he be okay without Falma?


    Will he be able to manage properly? Will he be able to exin the effects of the new medicine?


    His anxiety just went on. The other day, Pierre couldnt sleep a wink.


    But, how about just open it now?


    Outside the gate of Apricum per Foliis Pharmacy, many visitors had lined up before the opening that it covered the whole alley.


    Pierre sniffed as he opened the gates with trembling hands, and bowed to the customers deeply.


    Wee to Apricum per Foliis Pharmacy.


    After that, Pierre was entrusted by Falma and was inaugurated as the Guild Master of the Pharmacy Guild. The new Guild Master Pierre was so dissatisfied with the way that the Apothecary Guild conducted business that he personally recruited apothecaries who were on the brink of closing due to poor sales, and increased the members of the Pharmacy Guild to seven.


    All pharmacies of the Pharmacy Guild were remodeled with the same process:rge open gates, thoroughly clean, and an ingenious n to serve the patients.


    The apothecaries who came to handle the new medicines from the Pharmacy Guild were lively, content, and motivated.


    After all, the formtion they learned from the two months of training from Falma showed that those medicines were indeed effective.


    Medicine that would be effective for everyone!


    Previously, this was an umon urrence.


    To work or not to work, such things were almost like gambling based on rules learned through experience. It was not unusual for a pharmacy to be set on fire or an apothecary to be murdered for selling expensive medicine that was not effective. Because of theft, the risk in being resented, and exaggeratedrge sums of reparations, medicine costs inevitably rose. Commoner physicians and apothecaries were like moneylenders, it was a corrupt business that was hated.


    However, after reopening the remodeled pharmacies that were owned by the members of the Pharmacy Guild, they had an increase in repeat customers.


    The patients trusted the apothecaries with words of gratitude, as the apothecaries prescribed medicine tailored for the patient.


    Even without being greedy, profits came in.


    Thanks to Master Falmas benevolence, I dont feel guilty towards the patients anymore.


    Pierre thanked Falma when they came across each other. It was also thanks to that day when his daughter was suffering from influenza and the nearby clinic of Doctor Donald.


    Let us build a bronze statue of Master Falma for his service in the entrance hall of the Pharmacy Guild, was what Pierre enthusiastically proposed during a regr meeting, but sadly, Falma personally rejected it.


    Meanwhile in Diversis Mundi Pharmacy.


    Seems like Master Falma is getting busier


    Lotte looked worried as she was looking at Falma that fell asleep while he was organizing medical records.


    Really. He is expanding the business to fast Is it because the Medicine God dwells in the body of a child that the god was tired?


    While Ellen was looking down on the exhausted Falma, she was worried that although Falma had the ability to heal people, was there really a medicine that could heal him? Falma said that both medicine and poison wasnt effective on his body.


    If there was a medicine that could heal the Medicine God, he would surely feel some gratitude. Ellen reflected upon it, and didnt forget to thank the Medicine God in her mind. She didnt know if it reached him.


    Eh? What are you talking about Lady Elonore!?


    Lotte innocently asked Ellen. Lotte believed the Falma was Falma.


    No, this is nothing. Thinking about the patients who are suffering, dont you think its an injustice to leave them alone?


    Ellen was being evasive.


    At least, we should be able to do something about the procurement of materials, we want Falma to devote himself to medical treatment andpounding.


    Cedric seemed to worry about Falma too. Cedrics knee recovered with Falmas medicine and had been walking without a cane for a long time now.


    Despite that, there is almost nothing that little Falma cannot synthesize. I believe I canpound alone in the fourth floorboratory, but he wont even show me the methods or teach me. I already asked several times. Although I could help him, its frustrating.


    Lately, Falma was working overtime everyday. Until now, the medicines prescribed by Diversis Mundi Pharmacy was created alone by Falma using raw materials supplied by business partners. Because there are also medicines mixed with herbs supplied by the Marseille province, somepoundings are left to Ellen. Falma also works on Saturdays and Sundays, working overtime untilte at night, and woulde early in the morning to stay at theboratory to produce materials for the medicine, and would amodate off hours medical treatment for patients who took a sudden turn in their condition. That was his daily routine.


    Although Falma has a wellspring of divine power that was inexhaustible, his body still gets tired.


    Did I fall asleep?


    Falma raised his half asleep face while the desk left a mark on his forehead. Lotte covered Falmas shoulder with astoleso he wont get cold.


    You had a long nap, did your consciousness fly off? You looked tired.


    Ellen was rubbing the mark on Falmas forehead with her fingers.


    In his previous life, he had the habit of gathering work immediately as soon as he bes idle. And then, he was overconfident with his physical condition as a pharmacist. As a result he made a big mistake.


    So although this time he should be spending his life not overworking, Falma admonishes himself for not doing it that way.


    Am I working too much?


    As to Falmas daily work schedule,


    As for the things that ur irregrly:


    Hey, aside from me, you should increase the apothecary in Diversis Mundi Pharmacy, why not take in an apprentice? Once you put up a system to teach the next generation, your life would be easier.


    Ellen gave such a proposal. Falma had a brain with the pharmaceutical knowledge of new medicines, and being the only one on this world was the only fatal w. In this situation, this put too much burden on Falma, as he felt that he was close to copsing from the pressure on his shoulders.


    That is my intention. Because once the pharmaceuticalpany is done and its able to operate, I will begin to make chemosynthetic medicines. I also intend to do other things too.


    Soon, the pharmaceutical pharmacy will rise, so Falma was thinking of attracting local and foreign talented engineers and researchers, and will try to teach them little by little the necessary pharmaceutics to manufacture medicines.


    The sales of Diversis Mundi Pharmacy, funding from the Church, financial assets of the Archduke family and funds from the Empire was all invested unsparingly to the pharmaceutical factory in Marseille Province. It was being constructed at a fast pace. Once it was constructed, it would be possible to distribute from the production base, giving Falma some extra time.


    In San Fleuve Pharmaceutical University where my teacher, Lord Bruno, is the president, have many excellent students. Even I have taken some apprentice there.


    Ellen was Brunos best apprentice, she was also an excellent First ss Apothecary that she had three apprentices. Because she was busy helping in the pharmacy, she didnt pay attention to them anymore and entrusted them to Bruno, she said that he may employ them for the pharmacy.


    All right, I will talk to my father about this now.


    Since Falma became an independent Royal Court Apothecary, he thought that he was ready and it might be okay to borrow his fathers influence and position. His father also may mutually benefit from him.


    By the way, isnt there anything else thats necessary for the pharmaceutical factory? I should get it now before its toote.


    Ellen wanted to push forward the preparation much earlier.


    Sophisticated ssworks, and after that I want to hire some engineers with cksmithing skills.


    Without theboratory equipment for organic synthesis to make medicines, the factory wont operate.


    Those arent sold anywhere?


    Because I want to request something of unusual shape.


    In Japan, a graduates of pharmaceutics and organic chemistry have skills in simple ssworks. But, its not possible for them to create sks, test tubes, adapters, funnels, condenser tubes and the likes. Professionals in the ssworks were necessary.


    Little Falma, only the best of the best engineers can realize your ideas.


    Ellen was worried. Falma would want to employ an excellent engineer so she thought he would definitely spendvishly.


    It doesnt need to be the best, an engineer that have high degree of workmanship will be enough.


    There is an Archduke, who is a Medical me Engineer, an expert in makingboratory tools for physicians, an alchemist and an apothecary too. That person can make ssware and also metal works, and made the tools of my teacher. But doesnt ept request from themoners, but I think that person will take it with the connections of my teacher, Lord Bruno.


    They decided to be introduced at once using Brunos connections. Because it takes time to make the tools. The factory wasntplete yet, but if they dont ce the request now, it wont make it in time.


    Archduke Mlodie Le Roux.


    It was a lovely name that belies a remarkable engineer.


    A female Archduke?


    When he inadvertently mumbled it, Ellen responded in shock.


    I think you should have known it, Archduke is a title bestowed to an individual person rather than the head of the family. It doesnt matter if you are a man or a woman.


    Is that so


    Thats why its possible that two or more Archduke can appear in one family. Little Falma, once you be an adult, you might get the rank of Archduke.


    That is awesome, Master Falma! Once that happens, let us have a party! With a grand feast!


    When Lotte heard that he could be an Archduke, she was in high spirits. Lotte was filled with strength when ites to grand feast.

 Volume 2 - Ch 10

    Master Palle will return home the day after tomorrow. The Head Chef had informed me!


    Lotte told Falma cheerfully as she was cleaning his room.


    Eh!? Brother ising back!?


    Palle de Mdicis, aged 17, was the older brother of Falma who had the misfortune of his first name literally being pills, wasing back.


    Its been almost a year already. He has been busy with studying and training.


    Because of that, there will be a feast the day after tomorrow! There will be lots of desserts too.


    Um, I should ask the Head Chef. And Lotte was smiling from ear to ear. She decided to be hungry tomorrow and was enthusiastic.However, the Head Chef will heartily feed me bread before the feast, because I will be hungry at that time, as Lotte became cautious.


    Good for you, Lotte. Since its your growth period right now.


    Falma felt pleasant talking back to Lotte.


    Its also your growth spurt, Master Falma! Do you still remember Master Palle?


    Is that so?


    Falma sometimes recalls the memory of the previous host of his body, but they were only fragments and didnt have any memory regarding his older brother at all. He may recall something if he meets him directly.


    Master Palle had inherited our Lords excellent Water Divine Art and used it to train hard Master Falma. Lady nche too.


    Terrifying, so terrifying, mumbled Lotte as she shivered.


    She spoke about the terrifying matter, saying that Palle had beaten them viciously without holding back and that Bruno scolded him saying You went too far.


    He trained me and nche so hard? Be that as it may if it was me, but even nche too?


    Master Palle said it was a whip of love. However, Master Falmas and Lady nches Divine Art had tremendously improved all thanks to Master Palle.


    It had be like an annual event. Every time Palle returned from Nova Root Medical University, it was to conduct harsh training on both of them in the name of checking progress.


    Falma wanted to be spared from suffering, but escape was futile; ording to the information from Lotte, Palle would chase him to the ends of the earth if he tried. By the way, it was said that Falma had received broken bones when Palle was at his worst.


    By the way, I thought Ellen was the one teaching me Divine Arts?


    Both of them are teaching you. Ah, while Master Palle and Lady Elonore are childhood friends, they are also eternal rivals. Please be careful not to talk about it while both are present if you can.


    Palle and Ellen are of the same age. Both of them are very prideful, each of them thinking that they are the best apothecary and Divine Art user, so they would naturallypete against each other.


    Thank you for your valuable information, Lotte.


    It would have been a disaster if he stepped on thatnd mine.


    Come to think of it, my body is getting dull.


    It would be vexing if I get beaten up overwhelmingly, so I should train again, and so he went out to the courtyard and and fired off many water divine arts repeatedly with his silver wand.


    Unfortunately his wand broke right in half during his practice.


    Eeeh!? You want a new divine wand? You dont have one now?


    The next day, Ellen heard the story in the pharmacy and yelled in a loud voice.


    Palle de Mdicis. I have returned home.


    The next day. Apanied by three servants, the brother of Falma, Palle, came home triumphantly after a long journey riding a warhorse. A boy with long silver-hair and blue eyes, but unlike Falma, his lean toned body gave off an intrepid atmosphere.


    He greeted his parents first.


    Bruno concealed from Palle the fact that Falma became independent with the Empress personal approval as a Royal Court Apothecary and founded a Royal Chartered pharmacy, until Palle graduated from Nova Root Medical University and earned his qualification as a Royal Court Apothecary.


    Palle will be home for a week, let alone him being the heir, if he learned that Falma became a Royal Court Apothecary without graduating from college, Palle will lose motivation to study and may drop out from the university, was what Bruno said. Falma too thought the same and he agreed.


    Palle, who was oblivious to everything, came to Falmas room acting all arrogant as the big brother.


    How are you doing, my little brother!


    It has been a long time, dear brother.


    Falma wanted to hear the details of Palles journey, what he learned and his dormitory life in Nova Root Medical University, but first, there seems to be a tradition for the older brother to rough up of the weaker younger brother.


    All right! Im going to toughen you up until dinnertime! Have you gotten a little more bite to ya?!


    Its raining outside, can we just do it when its sunny?


    There was torrential rain with roaring thunder outside. Falma wouldnt catch a cold, but his brother definitely would. This was because his big brother had a bit of nasal voice.


    You think Im going spare you because its raining? We are going to get soaked anyway since we are going to exchange Water Divine Arts. I thought Elonore taught you something, but youre getting weak-willed. Im going to you whip you up to be strong willed!


    So the older brother was a hot-blooded man, or rather, a terrifying muscle-brain.


    Falma was taken by force by his brother to a wide open field within their residence while there was still a downpour. It seemed that nche seeded in escaping. That was because she always yed a very enduring battle of hide-and-seek with Lotte a lot.


    At least Im going to spare us frompeting in this downpour.


    Falma suddenly stopped the heavy rain with the negative ability of his right hand.

 Volume 2 - Ch 11

    And then, since Marina really insisted, so I started going out with her, but


    Third day of elder brother Palles homing. When he heard about the story of Palle breaking up with his 9th girlfriend, Thats enough right, Falma thought and cut the flow of the conversation. nche secretly went back to her own room and sleep.


    Is isnt it okay, if you start teach what kind of learned from the lecture at the Norbatz University of Medicine


    After enduring hearing his elder brothers honor student-ness and rtionships patiently for three hours until midnight, Falma entered the main topic. His muscle head elder brother who was also a handsome young man was a truly certified riajuu that he almost had a nose bleed from envy. He was a riajuu that the strange pill name was just suitable for him.


    In this world, it seems like the men, the better they are with divine arts and the more muscle head they are, the more they will be praised by women. And with that being said, Falma doesnt have the outgoing personality other than pharmacology in his private life, so,


    (When Im around that age, I probably wouldnt be popr)


    He had somehow expected that he would go through a colorless youth. But even that Falma, in truth, there was marriage talks withdies from great nobles for him through Bruno. The person itself didnt have a clue.


    Ou! Lecture huh. You also want to hear huh. After all, Im studying at the worlds most advance academy. You probably wont understand though, its too early for you. Aniue, I cant understand at all, youd probably said that crying to me. Dahahaha, its what you call the more stupid younger brother is, the cuter he is


    Teach me


    Although this is as if to repeat, Falma have the personality that he can ignore it even if he is incited. If he had the personality that had a low temper, he probably had kicked his elder brothers ass. And, Ellen who had no endurance for inciting, had kicked Palles ass before when she was made fun of. And from there, they are quarrelling with each other every time they see each others faces, they said.


    This is, the hottest topic in Norbatz right now


    His elder brother took out his texts while putting on airs. It has the title Divineness Element Science. Falma received that, and flipped through the pages.


    this is amazing!


    I know right, can you also get it?


    I cant though!


    Falma was moved. In the Norbatz University of Medicine where the worlds most advanced brains gathers, for once, they disassemble the four elements theory, the basics of divine arts, and they rearrange the alignments of thepounds of the Divinenguage being used in alchemy into simpler symbol arrangements, and the test of creating the study with the basics of observing the phenomenon instead of the thoughts had already started.


    Mythology, Traditions, Divine Arts, and Science were one until that, but it looks like schrs who thinks that having a deeper understanding of those individually, they would have a better understanding of natures phenomena started to appear.


    The genius academics and the medicinal alchemists of Norbatz, begun to search for the smallest unit of matter.


    From Alchemy, to Chemistry.


    The sprouts of that are starting to appear. Just like the history of science on earth.


    (Arent you good, Norbatz University of Medicine. As expected of the gathering of the worlds brains!)


    Falma weed this movement.


    If they start to be able to write chemical reaction forms, Falma will be able to write the synthesis process of the substances and send it to distant ces. Those would be copied into books, and the ces in the world will be able to synthesize modern medicines.


    Right now, 26 elements have been found, and the symbols for those were invented


    He!


    (Theres 118 in earth, but its significant enough being able to found 26)


    In the first page of the text, the table of element symbols and their names were written.


    (Ah, but, heat and photons are there. Those arent elements, these four arent elements, theyrepounds. How close! Theres only 20 that are found huh)


    They had the same mistakes with the history of science on earth.


    If I were able to fix errors in the texts, Falma thought of it frustrating, but because the parts needed to set was enormous,


    (If it was like this, it would be better to write the textbook from the start. In that case, it might be easier to ept if the symbols that were settled in this world was written. I should write the necessary parts huh)


    And with that,


    Aniue, I want to copy this book, its okay right?


    Haa? Its too early for you. You dont know the basics after all, there wouldnt be applications if you neglect the basics


    The elder brother who looks at his younger brother as stupid. I know right, thats with I want to fix the basics, Falma refutes within himself.


    Please, Aniue, Ill do my best to study


    It cant be helped, dont get it dirty alright! Dont stain it with ink and handprints okay!, his elder brother lent him the texts while putting on airs. He was an elder brother that was light and easy if he wasplimented.


    In earth, the center for knowledge of medicine and pharmacology was Europe.


    But, the current base currently is the United States.


    No one would mind if the research base transferred from the Norbatz University of Medicine to the Imperial Capital right.


    His Father Bruno who was the president of San Flueve Pharmaceutical University would gather outstanding talents, make then study modern pharmacology, and train experts. If that happens, Falma wouldnt need to bear the burden by himself, and he would be able to leave drug discovery researches to experts. His work would progress very well. The more man power there is, the more the sciences would develop.


    After that, if you say a breakthrough discovery, it would be microscope huh. That device invented, and youd be able to see small living creatures that you werent able to see with your eyes up until then! Can you imagine that!


    H-He


    Your reaction is too bad huh. You dont know its value huh, or cant you imagine microscopic world. Hahahaha, I guess so!!


    Thats amazing. I wonder what kind of world is that!


    To someone who was a pharmacist who had used from optical microscope to electron microscope, various types of microscopes, and if was able to observe molecules if he wanted to, his elder brother looked down at him whileughing loudly. It was like bragging to a fish how to swim.


    (Even so, it looks like he hasnt found out)


    It looks like Falmas elder brother doesnt know about him exporting single lens microscope to Norbatz. It was no doubt that Bruno and Royal Court Apothecary ude had pressured the Norbatz University to not search for the inventors identity.


    Theres another topic. Theres the rumor that the wonder drug for the white gue(tuberculosis) exists


    Falma flinched.


    It looks like the recipe was unpublished though. Its amazing right, the incurable disease, white gue might be a disease might be curable you know!


    He, thats amazing


    Even investigated, it looks like the story about the Empress of San Flueve had suffered from white gue, hasnt reached between students. It was probably a secret only the upper echelons know.


    It looks like the patients personal information was not leaked.


    His elder brother, even after that, he bragged off the achievements of the Norbatz University of Medicine at if it was his.


    It is good to be proud of your alma mater, Falma thought.


    Today is Sunday, were going for the Sunday worship to Guardian Temple!


    Elder Brother Palle took Falma and his younger sister nch, and went to the Guardian Temple in the San Flueve Imperial Capital Parish where the All Attribute Guardian God was enshrined from the morning. Thinking about it, Falmas Father had never taken him to pray at the Guardian Temple even once, but his elder brother, he was very religious unlike how he looked. Falma, for the first time sinceing to this world, he entered the inside of what they call the temple. nche said it was after a long time and was looking around.


    If you dont have the blessings of Guardian God-sama, both divine arts and study wouldnt be that good after all!


    ( I see, the reason why elder brother was a very confident divine arts user, might be the result of honest worshipping)


    Thinking about it, it was his elder brother who had a good match with Falma who had increased physical abilities while holding the Medicine Gods staff, shooting at him even while having a fever. Falma had a glimpse of his elder brothers efforts.


    The shrine of the temple, the rites of the Sunday worship was held. In the temple, both nobles andmoners visit.


    In the altar, was the Head Priest who had often visited the pharmacy.


    There was the recitation of the Bible in the rites, and there was the preaching and blessing of the Head Priest. The Head Priest who had finished the rites noticed Falma, and approached him very happily in a trot.


    You have finallye huh, Falma-sama. It was very nice of you to havee!


    Everyday, Falma was invited by the Head Priest toe to the temple. He was saying something like that the temple would be purified or be a sanctuary just by Falma entering the guardian temple. The patterns embedded on the temples floor, they were giving off a faint blue light every time Falma stepped on the floor.


    (Uheits shining somehow)


    Falma who didnt know what was happening, he thought that the change that he had done was eerie, and only felt an unknown anxiety.


    Wait, you?! Why is the Head Priest-sama talking to you with -sama


    Elder brother, since the Head Priest of the guardian temple that had the most influence in the imperial capital was talking to Falma with a respectful attitude, he was surprised and asked by whispering to his ear. Falma, he stopped the Head Priest who was about to say the wordsMedicine God, and Just a minute here, took distance from his brother and sister.


    How was the condition of the Medicine Gods Staff, I have been wondering


    The Head Priest, he was not able to ask about it since the pharmacy was closed for a few days in ordance with Palles homing.


    I really liked it. I had felt that my physical abilities increased just by holding it


    That is good. Please use the staff as much as you can


    Lending the staff that was called a secret treasure to Falma for free, This Head Priest, hes too generous. There might be something in for it, Falma had doubted. It was true that he had the gratitude for treating his bones.


    Is it alright for me to use the secret treasure of the guardian temple? Wouldnt the ones on top get angry losing the secret treasure?


    We also have benefits. There are sanctuaries created in your surroundings, but the Medicine Gods Staff would spread divine powers much more, so the sanctuaries would extend. That is, the true use of the secret treasure


    Sanctuaries are created?!


    It was the first time he knew about it.


    Even though patients woulde everyday to the different world pharmacy, there was no staff that would have a cold. They should not be having small wounds too. The people living in near the pharmacy should be the same


    ording to the Head Priest, evil spirits wouldnte near Falmas surrounding, and it would be harder for people to get sick. It looks like the Head Priest had observed that, and he wasnt onlying to buy medicine.


    I think that its a coincidence, that they hadnt had a cold. Also, is there really evil spirits?


    He could only think that it was ult. But, the Head Priest,


    What are you saying, evil spirits exists


    He answered as if it was very natural.


    Falma didnt want to believe it. It was a world where divine arts exists, so it feels wrong topletely deny it. But, Falma had never seen an evil spirit.


    You do not need to hide anything from me. I am a priest


    The Head Priest, he had his own consideration.


    Ha


    If you are hiding your identity like that, is it not ufortable not being able to exercise your divine powers as you want?


    What are you talking about


    It looks like the Head Priest was minding Falma who avoids a direct answer.


    I, am also a priest who had studied divinity. If you have something little in your mind, please ask this Head Priest Salomon as you will


    I might be able to give you an advice, Head Priest Salomon said.


    It is a world that is impure, but I want you to be in the material world, as long as possible


    ording to legends, it was only for a brief time that the Gods and their incarnations appear in the material world. That they hid, hating the impurity.


    Falma was nning to live in this world for his whole life, but being said by that by the Head Priest, he thought of the possibility that his existence that was a foreign matter for this world might disappear someday.


    (Will I, disappear sometime very soon)


    With an indescribable feeling, Falma returned to where his elder brother and younger sister were.


    What did you talk about


    Its nothing much. Aniue, do you think that theres evil spirits?


    Thinking about it, I havent seen them since I returned to the imperial capital. Priest-sama probably had exterminated them


    It looks like elder brother was someone who can see.


    Recently, there are no evil spirits. I cant see them anymore


    nche said that. Evil spirits are ck shadows, they were here and there, and misfortune will happen to the people that hit them. I saw a person who died instantly after colliding with an evil spirit, nche said.


    (What a spiritual siblingswell, my existence itself is spiritual huh)


    Falma was dubious about it.


    All of this is thanks to God. Were going to pray to Guardian God-sama


    Ai


    nche also raised her hand.


    They entered the shrine where the statues of God were enshrined. It was a spacious and silent ce for prayer, and the light of the stained ss was fantastical.


    Elder brother closed his eyes in front of the Medicine Gods statue and earnestly prayed. Elder brothers guardian God is the medicine god. nches guardian god is the water god, so she went to a god statue a little far.


    As if to react to elder brothers words of prayers, the lightning-like crests in both of Falmas arms twinge, and the Medicine Gods Staffs shine increased. Elder brothers prayer, it was as if it became Falmas victual. There might be a corrtion between the Medicine God and Falmas identity, Falma couldnt help but admit it.


    (What am I, really in this world?)


    Falma, he couldnt determine his own identity, and had an intense feeling of anxiety and loneliness from not being able to know his existence.


    Was it because he died while wishing to continue to heal people, that it had something to do with this worlds medicine god.


    (I dont know. I wont think, of things that I can only imagine)


    Falma postponed thinking of it.


    Elder brothers homing for one week ended, and it was the day for him to return to the Norbatz University of Medicine.


    Falma, nch, Mother, and the servants will see him off. Father left the house early for medical treatment.


    Well then, dear mother. I will continue my studies


    Study very well


    Mother saw off elder brother who grew splendidly, and held her tears.


    Falma, nche, farewell to you two too. I need to return fast


    Do you have something to do?


    Falma asked.


    If I wouldnt meet her once for a week, Natalie would cry from loneliness after all! Its hard being too much popr, hahahaha


    Damn it, what a riajuu, even while thinking of that, Falma saw him off, waving his hands.


    Come to think of it, Falma. Next month, theres the San Flueve Market next in the imperial capital right


    Suddenly, elder brother made a serious face as if he remembered something. San Flueve Market, is the market that is held in themercial district of the imperial capital once every year, and would be held for a month. It is a grand market for sale held throughout the night where merchants from all over the world would gather.


    Be careful


    He had no clue on what to be careful of. The pharmacys reputation is starting to be heard outside of the country, so he needs to be careful of the pharmaceuticals being stolen, but elder brother dont know that Falma opened a pharmacy.


    It looks like a strange epidemic disease had spread in the huge ind of the colony of the country of Nedale. It seems like about a thousand residents were annihted


    Is it a local disease or something?


    I dont know the details. The Norbatz investigation team brought samples back to the university and examined it. Two of the schrs who examined it died


    (It is something infectious)


    Falma tightens his guard.


    The corpse of the schr and the sample were incinerated so theres no more victims, the ind inhabitants were also wiped out so it had a closure, but be careful Falma. Goods from all over the world would gather in the market after all. It seems like, the ship of the country of Nedale that brought the exportations with that ind was said to be missing


    He was saying that the baggage loaded with pathogen that were mixed within the trading ships of the country of Nedale mighte to the imperial capital. The only ce where the trading ships of the country of Nedale can bemissioned, is only the port of Marseille in the imperial capital.


    (It needs to be stopped in the waters edge)


    Falma got impatient.


    Aniue, uhm, was the sample taken from the patient alreadypletely incinerated and had nothing left?


    Theres nothing left, it was incinerated with me divine arts after all. Even the bones of the corpses didnt remain. The sample room where they worked was also purified with wind divine arts and was sealed


    It was probably decided, that it wasnt something that the Norbatz University can handle.


    Incinerating the sample, is truly safe. Falma, he asked his elder brother the progress of the schrss disease. The more that he heard those symptoms, the more Falma felt a bad feeling.


    (Dont tell me)


    Come to think of it, there remains the sketch of the organisms existed in the sampled specimens using the microscope


    Falmas simple microscope, it was inevitably acting as an immediate fighting force in thend of Norbatz.


    Aniue. Can you somehow copy that sketch, and send the letter with a carrier pigeon


    You want to? What for


    With Father, I want to try examining it


    I see. Father might be able to know something about it


    It looks like elder brother respects Father who was an Archduke very well. He said that his fame could be heard in Norbatz.


    It was too far away, to fly to Norbatz using the Medicine Gods Staff. Falma could only still float with the staff, so it would be faster making a messenger pigeon for long distances fly.


    When the permission from the School Heades out, Ill copy it


    Falma, he entrusted the gathering of critical information to his elder brother.


    There are only 2 weeks before the San Flueve Market was opened. Even if he advised the Empress to suspend the Market right now, the baggage from around the world would gather.


    And even if it was unfounded fears, the countermeasures to prevent infections that could be done beforehand must be done as much as possible, Falma thought. There must not be an outbreak in the imperial capital together with the baggage, thinking that the infection had a stop.


    Falma returned to his usual pharmaceutical work, and while only looking at the patients with grave illnesses and sending the patients with light ones to the guild affiliated pharmacies, he ordered to set up a quarantine station in the Port of Marseille. Also, he hastened topile the texts of basic chemistry, and modern pharmaceutical science. Even if Falma disappeared from this world, if there were the texts, the people of this world would continue to heal. It was because he thought of that.


    The messenger pigeon from his elder brother that he had deeply anticipated quickly arrived. He opened the letter. Falma was petrified.


    (Even in this world, these exists huh)


    He couldnt be sure of it. It is said that the specimen of the pathogen was incinerated, and theres bacteria of a simr shape, its a pathogen from a different world, so it might be a different kind. He didnt want to say assertive things until he used diagnosis eye.


    Even so, Falma had seen it before.


    Inferringprehensively from the symptoms of the patient he heard from his elder brother, the sketch of a long shaped bacteria drawn there was.


    Yersinia pestis


    That was once feared on earth as the ck gue; it is the most dreaded nightmarish pathogen in human history, prevalent in the medieval Europe of the 14th century, causing 30% of the poption to die.


    The death rate of Yersinia pestis is 50-70%, and when it progresses and develops pulmonary gue,


    The death rate is 100%.

 Volume 2 - Ch 12.1

    What an amazing achievement, and yet, it has not been a year yet


    Empress Elizabeth II, she raised a voice of admiration after receiving the report of the annual statistical report on the birth rate and mortality rate of the imperial city from her aides at the seat in therge conference hall inside the court. The Empress was very content. It is because, the mortality rate of the imperial city this year has decreased nearly 20%pared tost year.


    The mortality statistical number of deaths in each regional city has the same standard asst year as usual, but only the imperial city has suddenly changed.


    This number, only in the imperial city, is this not the result of the different world pharmacy and the dispensing pharmaceutical guild that cooperating their business?


    Is this not clear even if you do not see it with a favorable eye, Elizabeth imed.


    It means that since pharmacist Falma had be a royal court apothecary, starting from the invention of the microscope, he did all of this within a year.


    The foundation of the Different World PharmacyGeneral Head Office, and numerous invention of new medicine.


    Regtion on human body use of products containing toxic substances such as mercury and lead.


    Opening of the medicated cosmetic specialty storeMEDIQUEand oral care specialty store8020


    Establishment of the Dispensing Pharmacy Guild, and the sales of new drugs at guild franchise stores.


    Opening public health lecture.


    On top of that, he visited the free dispensary operated by the Empire, prescribed medicine for patients, and also instructed doctors about treatment.


    Taking ount those, each one of them is a merit of good service. And to be able to do all of that for a mere one year, it is not a humans skill.


    And also, did the public health lecture and invention of the microscope revealed the idea of microorganisms prove to be sessful; the people began to pursue cleanliness, and the number of epidemics that had urred in the imperial city is now considerably low. They have been worried about epidemic cold every year, but this year, this also became limited to a small scale.


    Ha! I can not speak lightly, but, I also agree


    An elder subject who was conservative and hard to please, Secretary of National Affairs, Sir Philipp also finally recognized Falmas achievements.


    You Sirs also think like that


    It is very natural, Your Highness. If the sess in the imperial city spread through the regional cities, the prosperity of the empire would be solid


    Even Secretary of the Interior Sir Yoan, nodded to the Empresss question. Yoan is, a minister that was reluctant to give a pharmacy that a child shopkeeper would run the Imperial Sanction of the empire.


    Noah who has been promoted to a semi-knight from the Empresss page, was relieved that Falmas aplishments which were being strongly reproached to the Empress by her aides were finally recognized in public.


    If that is so, I need to give rewards once again, the Empress started to leave aside the meeting, and ponder in her head.


    Is granting Falma a noble rank too early, Berenice?


    Mr. Falma has yet to be an adult, so under the Empiresws, granting ranks to minors are not permitted


    Berenice, the beautiful female Minister of Justice who have been just inaugurated this year dissuades the Empress in a hurry. With the intention, We will be troubled if the Empiresws are changed so easily. By the way, Berenice favors using MEDIQUEs medicated soap.


    Umu, it is still really too early huh


    It looks like the Empress reflected that it was too rash.


    The reputation from the citizen of the imperial city is also excellent


    Secretary of National Affairs Philipp, he hears its poprity to the mass. Patients treated by the different world pharmacy, other than those seriously ill and were on the verge of death, there are almost no deceased. Also, Philipp himself has a sickness of goat, and it has be his family pharmacy. In the position of a patient going to take medicine every week, there is no way that he could criticize the main doctor.


    There is an inhuman thing that possesses the boy apothecary Falma.


    Elizabeth was gradually gaining the conviction for that. Elizabeth, she has known Falma who had frequented in the pce following his father Bruno to train since he was 8 years old. However, she could only look at him as if the personality he had at that time itself was a different one.


    The thing that possesses him should not be made clear, that was Elizabeths view. There is a guarantee that the out of standard divine powers that is hidden within him is not evil, and if the thing that possesses him is a God or a sacred spirit, they would dislike it if their identity was exposed by humans. And just because their identity was found out, it might leave the human world.


    So there, Elizabeth, she made all preparations so that Falma was able to easily move in the imperial city. And when his will was followed, this quick results also did.


    Well then, is the preparation for the San Flueve Market organized


    Ha! No change overst year. The guild in the imperial city and the merchants, they are busily preparing their goods. Foreign merchants has also started to gather


    Minister of Finance Sir Elman, while adjusting his ck-framed sses, he reported the situation of the preparations to the Empress together with his market inspector subordinations. The Empress, she suddenly remembered and asserted.


    Keep in mind to not allow any mess of public morals in the imperial city. Additionally, the ones who would cause problems, beat them out of the imperial city regardless of their status


    Ha, we will strictly regte them. There is one thing, that bothers me


    Elman has seen through the foreboding that did not existst year beforehand.


    Looking at the peddler registry that we have, it seems that there are many foreign medicinal wholesale dealers and advanced apothecaries this year


    Is it not for purchasing the medicinal goods of the Different World Pharmacy and the pharmacies affiliated with them.


    It could be seen that their aim is to bring back the medicinal goods to their country, and sell them at a high price to royalty and titled nobility. However, the Different World Pharmacy where Falma is the shopkeeper is a prescriptive pharmacy, so he would look at the patients, then prescribe medicine. If the patient is not present, he would not treat them, and would not sell.


    On the other hand, on the dispensing pharmaceutical guild, even though they are not selling medicine that is not as high as the Different World Pharmacys head store, they ones that they handle are drugs that have good effects, so the merchants probably aim to buy those and return.


    While the market is opened, the medicine from the Different World Pharmacy should be targeted by apothecariesing from other countries. That pharmacy is our Empires treasure, and wealth. Pharmacist Falma and the ones affiliated with him, we shall not let them go. Send the best guards to Falma as an individual, and secure each and every one of the pharmacys staff


    The Empresss aim is to bring Falma on her side, let him freely create medicinal goods, and maintain the Empires externalpetitiveness and national interest. The Different World Pharmacy, and the medicinal products of the rted pharmacies, they shall bring the Empire enormous wealth.


    As youmand


    The aidespletely agreed to the Empress.

 Volume 2 - Ch 12.2

    The ck gue mighte, mixed within the cargo of the San Flueve Market


    At that time, Falma ran into the San Flueve University of Medicines presidents room, and told his father about the looming threat of a terrible gue. His father is busy with his administrative work and research as the president, and has not returned to their mansion.


    Umu, the country of Nedales colony ind was eradicated because of a mysterious gue huh. It has also reached my ears. The origin of the disease has yet to be found even in Norbatz, you think that it is the ck gue


    The pest, the ck gue it is called in this world, it is an epidemic thatstly appeared 210 years ago. Bruno has deciphered past literature, and recognizes the fear of the ck gue. It is said there were dark violet colored stigmas that would remain on the patients skin, and that which was called as the ck gue had tremendous infectivity, and it was only when several cities including the patients were burned to destruction using me divine arts that it was settled.


    I am thinking that it is the ck gue


    The ck gue is deep-rooted. It is written in literature that it would seem that it had settled, but would rpse many times. Some of the cargo that was traded from the gued ind, it might have entered the imperial capital through thend. The merchants ship that would sell directly from that colony should arrive at the port of Marseille


    It would be post fact report, but I will instruct to set up a quarantine station in the port of Marseille


    Umu, a good decision


    Bruno assessed Falmas measures.


    If the ck gue enters the imperial capital, it would be the end of the imperial capital


    Bruno said, medicine that heals the ck gue does not exist, and the only thing the doctor and apothecaries was only to count the number of deaths. If the ck gue urs in the densely popted imperial capital, the reality of the downfall of the empire will increase.


    The empires cmity would be needed to be scorched by the mes of divine arts.


    After all, we do not have a way to fight against the ck gue


    No, we can fight


    Falma answered immediately.


    Is that true?! That is an incurable deadly disease that no one knows its true nature


    It looks like Bruno was overwhelmed by Falmas words.


    We can fight. Just like the time with the white gue, I have a weapon


    The effective drug for the gue is an antibiotic (anti-bacterial drug), there are many drugs that was developed on Earth, and there are even many choices. however, in this situation where the Marseille Pharmaceutical Factory has yet beenpleted, in the level of this worldsboratory,there was no drug that canbe mass synthesizedthat can be prepared within a few days. Since antibiotics are things that can be extracted from microorganisms like fungi or bacteria, as long as this worlds culture technique are prepared, any country would be able to handle it.


    But, the preparation time this time is only several days. They could only rely on Falmas substance creation ability.


    H-How are we going to fight


    Bruno couldnt think of how at all. This worlds schrs does not even know what the ck gue uses as an intermediary to spread.


    The specific medicine, has already been prepared.


    Falma prepared synthetic antimicrobials.


    The one he chose was Sparfloxacin (SPFX).


    It is a drug that prevents the bacterial growth, by preventing the synthesis of Pestis DNA.


    It wasnt an injection, and could be taken orally, so that made it convenient. The risk of using an injection is high, so Falma did not want to use it before the technical foundation is in ce. Taking this drug once a day is enough. There would also be cases where side-effects would ur, but that would be photosensitivity, and as long as they would not be exposed to sunlight, and as long as the pharmacist controls the medication, it is not something very serious. With this, he would be able to leave the medicine guidance to the pharmacists of the dispensing pharmacy guild who are studying everyday.


    Falma created this sparfloxacin using substance creation beforehand.


    Because its structure isplicated, it made him use a lot of concentration, and while getting exhausted, even so, he still prepared the amount that 1000 patients wouldpletely heal.


    Immediately, he conducted a prescription workshop for the new drug, and instructed the pharmacists on how to look at the patients and how to prescribe. Although he could not do it with all of the pharmacists. The pharmacists that had just joined the guild, and has immature knowledge and skill were forbidden to handle it.


    In case that the gue would appear, he strictly ordered to offer the new drug sparfloxacin for free. For strong infectious diseases like the pest, it is important to not mind the value of the medicine and use it without hesitation.


    Right now, he is currently leaving it to them the division and distribution of the medicine to the rted pharmacies. Even if the pest does not ur and it was not needed for this time, it is a drug that can be used for other epidemics, so the drug would not be wasted.


    The pharmacists of the dispensing pharmacy guild were filled with trepidation, hearing that the ck gue that was once a nightmare would reur.


    We have prepared the cure, in the pharmacy stores in the imperial capital. Not letting anyone be infected, that is our first fight


    Falma and Bruno summarized the preventive measures and advised it to the Empress.


    . Restrict the San Flueve imperial capitals castle gates, and limit the merchant caravans entering the imperial capital throughnd to several ces.


    . Establish a quarantine station equipped with a microscope microorganism inspection testing department in the castle gate.


    . Thorough enforcement of cleanliness by distributing water that is created by water divine arts users to the citizen of the imperial capital, and let them use that for washing hands and showering.


    . Exterminate rats and fleas in each household, and stores.


    It was probably because Falma and the Empress have trust rtionship from every day. The Empress promptly issued a decree, just like Lets do it, lets do it now. The hygienic environment of the imperial capital that was gradually being improved, due to public health lecture of the different world pharmacy where Ellen was the instructor, that made citizens enlightened, it was improved further at thest minute. The extermination of rats was done even cleaning out the underground waterway. The kids and cats were catching rats very vigorously.


    The quarantine station, it was done by rotation of pharmacists of the dispensing pharmacy guild that has been taking sses everyday. They are temporarily hired by the empire, and using the simple inspection kit and microscope that Falma prepared, they were trained on how to discover Pestis. There are already 19 stores participating to the dispensing pharmacy guild. They would inspect the cargo that peddlers have, and would continue to prevent the invasion of pathogen in the imperial capital. The guild master Pierre leads and supervised them, helping the inspection.


    The temple who had heard the situation from Falma; Head Priest Solomon of the diocese in the imperial capital gathered wind divine arts user who is excellent in purification techniques from Guardian Temples in various ces, and thoroughly purified the imperial capital.


    And Falma and Ellen, they were in an intensive watch in Marseille region.


    Only the port of Marseille would have vessels from the country of Nedale entering, but many ships with cargo that came from all over the world would gather to make it in time to San Flueve Market.


    In that port of Marseille, the discontent of the ship owner and crews were exploding.


    It is because Falma kept all vessels that were about to enter the port of Marseille stop on the sea, and quarantined them without letting them approach the pier.


    It is the sea quarantine that ismon sense in Earth.


    Falma rides in a boat to therge sailing ship thates from various countries and ces anchored at sea. He examined all of the crews if they were infected by thepest using his diagnostic eye, and Ellen and a first ss apothecary who are wearing clothes with an antibacterial agent, and his fathers subordinate that is a me techniques user wearing a protective clothing carried out microorganism tests on the cargo.


    And, with the ships registered as the country of Nedales, it was detected that about 2% of the ships were infected by Pestis. There were even infected crew, and people who had died. Falma immediately sent a carrier pigeon to the imperial capital, and informed Bruno this message. Strengthen the quarantine.


    When the Pestis was found, the me techniques user incinerated it, and Falma annihted the Pestis relying on the Medicine Gods Staffs divine powers.


    The carriers were isted, and were given anantibacterial drug.


    I cannot believe this, to think that the ck gue would really resurrect


    Ellen couldnt help herself shudder that if they did not have Falmas antibacterial drug, the port of Marseille would have be a port of death a long time ago. And that, they were able to stop it in the waters like barely crossing a tightrope.


    However, despite their struggles, the sailors was not even able to understand was the quarantine was for. The ships that have anchored for even two days, and the ones who were impatient to unload were showering jeers andints to Falma and the rest.


    Hurry up and let us unload. There wasnt a quarantine untilst year right, the Lord of Marseille is crazy this year


    I need to unload by today. I had arranged a carriage


    Let us go first, its fruits, our cargo will rot


    Why the heck is a kid with the apothecaries who quarantine, what he heck is going on in the San Flueve Empire


    Wait for your damn turn!


    Falma and the rest had quarantined with almost no rest, but it would be the best if they were able to quarantine 20 ships, and even so, the vessels aiming for the San Flueve Marketes one next to the other. The ships that want to enter the port of Marseille had gone up, and the discontent of the sailors, had now be something uncontroble.


    How noisy you areshould I make you shut up for a bit


    Ellen readied her staff, and when she was about to show the selfish and stubborn ships the water divine arts they needed, cannon shells bombarded the sea, raising arge water column. Ellen has yet to shoot her divine art.


    He?


    Ellen fixed her sses. Falma also covered his eyes to the loud sound.


    Stop fussing around! If you want to enter the empires port, follow the empires rules!


    A loud threat. Looks gathered to the direction of the bombardment. And then, four beautifulrge sailing ships, with a g with the emblem of the Empire and the letters S.I.O in their gship, appeared with an air ofposure. There was a sniper with his muzzle aiming from the mast, and the porthole is open.


    From the bow of the gship where tens of portholes were loaded, the San Flueve Empire Chartered East Idun Company (S.I.O) Combined Fleet Admiral, Jean-An Gabin was looking down with crossed arms.


    A regr customer at the different world pharmacy, a lover of the sailors candy, old man Jean.


    He is the Admiral of the East Idun Company that would even make crying kids shut up. When he heard that the child store owner of the different world pharmacy Falma, was doing his best against the sea roughnecks for the sea quarantine of San Flueves port, he brought a battleship.


    Listen you bastards, clean your dirty darn ears and listen!


    Old man Jeans voice echoed very well on the top of the sea. Falma who was looking at him from a boat, looked at old man Jean who was wearing admiral clothes differently. Its because the regr customer who he knew, usually wearing one tattered shirt and who was kind and friendly, had changed into a devilish admiral.


    The ones who want their loads thrown to the sea, name yourselves damn it!! Fire!!


    The portholes blew fire again, and water columns raised.


    Its just exactly, to the ship carrying tea that Falma was about to quarantine. If this continues, it would be like the Boston Tea Party, or you could say Marseille Tea Party.


    There were no longer ships who shows rebellious attitude to therge battleships admiral.


    Just like that, with the imperial fleet ring at them, the small and medium-sized ships from various countries tamely received the quarantine.


    Jean-san, no, Admiral Jean. Thank you for helping


    In a timely moment to take a break, Falma got on Admiral Jeans ship, and said his thanks.


    Well, dont worry, its nothing at all. Rather than that, how long will the pharmacy be closed. I am, oh Im a little lonely


    It looks like Admiral Jean wants to buy the sailors candy not on the cooperating stores, but on the different world pharmacy.


    Thanks to your ces candy, the sailors that scurvy had decreased. Next time, Im thinking of buying candies on bulk, for the crew of the ship that is going in a long voyage


    Admiral Jean who said that with a great smile, doesnt seem like he was just buying candies as a hobby. He gives them to some sailors who would go on a long voyage, and tests their preventive effect.


    I will be waiting for your order


    Can you please make that after the San Flueve Market ends, Falma added.


    When the sea quarantine of the ships that are entering the port of Marseille had passed its peak,


    Falma-sama, I have reports that there are numerous vigers of the Estherk Vige that have a high fever


    There was a report that came to Marseilles Lord deputy Adam in the lords manor.


    Taking notice that entering from the port of Marseille would be slow, Nedale ships entered, and unloaded their cargo on ports of small fishing viges.


    At first, every viger thought that it was only a regr high fever, but deaths started to ur, and the epidemic started at once. It has been two days since the first death, and the vige chief came to report to Adam.


    Were they pricked by the flea of the rats that hid within the cargo. The infection route, was now impossible to trace.


    We knew it, but we couldnt prevent it, huh


    Falma felt very frustrated. Even Ellen who had supported him with all that she had, couldnt find words to sat to Falma who was exhausted.


    Ill go immediately


    Youre going? To a vige infected by ck gue?! You might also die after being infected you know?!


    Ellen, she raised a surprised voice to Falma who was going to enter the vige with no hesitation. Falma answered silently.


    I will. I probably wont get infected, andeven if I did, I could cure myself


    I will also go, I only need to use the medicine just as Falma-kun said right?


    In this great cmity, as an apothecary, I do not want to turn my back and run away. , Ellen thought of that. The only one who could tell the ck gue, is only Falma. That is why, it should be him who is going to need to quarantine.


    Ellen should continue the quarantine here, please protect the entrance of the sea. It would take time, but I will find it if I would inspect step by step. Im counting on you


    After Falma had left those words, he ced his divine powers on the Medicine Gods Staff and flew to the sky.


    Falma-kun! Dont!


    Ellens voice calling out to him, echoed through the blue skies of Marseille.


    And thus, the gue hasnded on the continent.


    The first epidemic, was on a fishing vige in the Marseille region with a poption of 524 people.


    Apothecary Falma de Mdicis went to the Esthark Vige.

 Volume 2 - Ch 13.1

    This is a few days before Falma and Ellen have found the first ck gue patient in the sea quarantine.


    Bruno de Mdicis is in the San Flueve Empires Pharmacy School.


    He is writing letters and guidebooks for quarantine inspection and prevention towards the ck gue overnight, to be sent to the cities of the Empire and the Medicinal Universities around the world. It is because he is changing the contents ording to the situation of the different ces while considering the topography, race, living culture, customs, religion, and etc. Using Falmas words as the core, what would they need to do if there was an outbreak of the ck gue, how to iste a region, how to treat a patient, how to identify the ck gue in the case where a microscope is present, how to euthanize a patient, how to take care of the corpses, etc.


    In addition to these ck gue prevention rmendations, he had strongly requested that all of the excellent divine art users regardless of their attributes to positively participate too. The work of writing guidebooks is something that only Bruno who had built trust rtionships with the influential people, hospitals, research institutions and knows about the medicinal situations all over the world, could do.


    Falma said that he does have the medicinal cure; however, the limit that he has was only enough to supply the imperial capital, and he does not have the production ability to spread it all over the world.


    That is why, the countries other than the Empire needs to prevent the outbreak without the medicine.


    Falma has said it like that, but will the ck gue that had ended 210 years ago reallye


    He also has those doubts. However, the sense of crisis that Falma was showing was something extraordinary. Bruno decided to believe in Falma.


    He knew that Falma, Ellen and also his disciples are continuing the quarantine in the Marseille region, and he wants to help them as much as he wants to, but the original job of a Royal Court Apothecary is to stay in the imperial capital during the times of emergency, and take care of the countrys backbone in the case that they would be diseased to not let the country be in ruins. Bruno cannot move from the imperial capital.


    President, Professor Casper hase to meet you


    Brunos secretary speaks from outside of the presidents office.


    Umu, enter


    Bruno called that entric olddy professor into the presidents room.


    It is Professor Casper Louise who is researching about fungi and spores, and also a wind divine arts user who looks like a witch wearing ck from head to toe. People pointed fingers at her iming that she was doing useless research and does not have any achievements, and she was only given only a few research funds within the university. Without making her research results seeing the light of the sun, she was about to reach retirement age next year.


    Her research was fieldwork collection and taxonomy, centered in fungi. However, there was a more sophisticated fungal researchboratory in the Norbatz University, so her researchboratory only has a few students, and was being treated as a field that does not have any future. Right now, she only has a small 2 students.


    The one who barely made her researchboratory continue by somehow cing funds for it, even though the other professors and managers wanted to end it, was Bruno.


    It is a research that is being thought to have no use, but he had believed that it might create an unexpected result.


    President-sama, am I going to be fired. I would ask for at least a month, to take care of my researchboratory starting from now


    She was afraid that she would be told to immediately leave her researchboratory, and tears were showing in her eyes. She puts together both of her hands that already had wrinkles, and seemed to shrink while waiting for the judgment.


    No. It is not something about that. I want you to do a significant task


    For mework starting from now?


    The olddy fixed the position of the reading sses on her nose. Who in the world, would like to leave a significant job to a window side professor like her. Bruno strongly encourages her.


    It is an important task to save the world, that only you can do in this Empire!


    Ohh, ohhthat is


    The old professor was taken aback to the scale of the word world. Bruno has always worked while being conscious of the world, but she, when was thest time she researched while being conscious of the world. All of her sights were only concentrated to the fungi within the Empire.


    I want you to search for a certain new type of microorganism. And I would like you to increase them as much as possible, and extract a medicinalponent from them


    The microorganism that Falma searched for but could not find, the microorganism that would produce antibacterial medicine.


    Actinomycetes.


    It grows like a fungus that had extended like rays, a bacteria that was named because of that.


    Bruno called out to her to bring out her aspiration and intellectual curiosity.


    A species of that organism, will be a medicine that kills incurable diseases, the ck gue and infectious diseases


    Ehh?


    Please read this


    He showed the sketch of the characteristics of the actinomycetes itself that Falma left behind. There was also a sketch of how it would look under a microscope. The information that Falma left continued to enlighten Bruno.


    Which great professor did? S-Something that would be the ingredients to an important medicine like that


    Professor Casper read Falmas sketches and notes carefully. She fixed her sses up and down, and whispered to her self a lot of things many times. As if topare it to the knowledge that she had umted over the years.


    And finally, she gulped, then answered with a trembling voice.


    I-I-If it is t-this fungi, i-it is in m-my researchboratory for many years, I ha-have kept it in af-sk


    The unappealing old professor who was about to enter her retirement age, has already gained the savior from a long time ago.


    You did great, Professor Casper!


    It was decided that the university would use all of what it has to create a new medicine from that microorganism.


    Professor Caspers researchboratory was immediately given the highest possible research funds that can be given by the university, three researchboratories equipped with organic synthesizer facilities were secured for Professor Casper, and arge number of scientists, alchemists, and engineers were mobilized.


    From this day, test production of the antimicrobial drugs was done, and it was decided that Professor Casper would lead that project.


    Professor Caspers retirement address might be something grandeur


    Bruno gave her words of encouragement.


    To make it so, I will do my best


    If the oveing of the ck gue came into reality, the day that she would be showered with cheers from the academic society that she had seen within her dreams, might not be too far away.


    It was a one in a lifetime chance. Professor Casper decided to bring out all that she have to answer to the expectations of Bruno.


    Even if she were to start right away, its production might not be possible immediately.


    However, if she does not start researching right away, the lives that might be saved will be disregarded.


    It was around that time when Bruno received a messenger pigeon entrusted with news that the ck gue was found from the Marseille region.

 Volume 2 - Ch 13.2

    Falma ced medical examination tools, medicine, and mask inside a bag then carried it on his shoulder, and flew at a high altitude to Esthark Vige that is west of the port of Marseille.


    Creating propulsion through giving divine powers to the Medicine Gods Staff and controlling the buoyancy as he wished while controlling the posture requires considerable concentration, so Falma almost hit high trees and birds many times.


    The people on the ground were surprised towards the unidentified flying object that flies with high speed and was raising screams. Falmas Medicine Gods Staff is transparent, and is transparent to visible light, so the staff cannot be seen from the ground, and they could only see a person flying. I wonder who was the owner of the Medicine Gods Staff before, Falma doubted.


    A person flying in the sky might be reported to the temple as a heretic, but he is wearing white protective robes, so as long as he was wearing its hood properly, no one will know who was flying. Minor things like standing out or not should be dealtter.


    Fishing Vige of Marseille, high in the air of the Esthark Vige.


    Falma who have arrived there, was still floating in the air in a high altitude. Looking towards the sea, there are only yachts and small fishing boats in the pier. Therge vessels that have smuggled, were not offshore. They are either hiding in a rocky terrain, or returned to Nedale country.


    It is bad as well if they had returned to the country of Nedale.


    There is a high possibility, that all of their crew would be annihted and be in a shipwreck.


    (Damn it! Wheres the ship. I need to sterilize the whole ship, and save the crew members inside)


    The sanctuary for this, huh


    Falma asked Head Priest Salomon to trante the Medicine Gods Staffs user manual from ancient letters, and although he could not use everything, he had learned divine arts that were easy to use. And one of those, is the creation of a sanctuary.


    He filled the staff with divine powers, held the staff by its end, then swing it several times like hammer throwing. And doing that, purification divine arts have spread from the whole staff, and had radiated concentrically.


    When Falma had activated the sanctuary, it looked like the blue shockwave have bent the air, and spread out like an explosion.


    Sanctuarys quite convenient huh


    What Falma used was theDisease Destruction Sanctuarythat is unique to the Medicine Gods Staff. By the way, within the divine arts, advanced techniques that have names and requires activation spells are called God Skill. Falma can use divine arts and divine techniques without distinction because he can omit the incantations, however, normally, it would need very long chants to be activated.


    Within the Disease Destruction Sanctuary, pathogens would not be able to float in the air, and the spread of pathogens from infected people would be very difficult.


    Right now, Falma has covered the entire Esthark Vige with the Disease Destruction Sanctuary.


    On top of that, Falma jumps off the Medicine Gods Staff, andnded on the Esthark Vige while controlling the speed.


    W-What?!!


    To the white-robed boy that fell from the sky carrying the sunlight, the viges were robbed of their eyes.


    In the Esthark Vige, serious patients were gathered at the clinic, and most of the vigers were just about to run away from the vige to escape from the disease, leaving most of the patients behind.


    Please wait!


    Falma stood in front of the viges entrance, and blocked their way while


    Then, when he stands his staff on the ground, the divine art was activated, and the Esthark Vige waspletely surrounded by a thick wall of ice.


    A divine art of this scale, there was not many opportunities for rural viges to see.


    Uwaaaaa! Its a wall of ice! What the heck are you!


    H-He was flying in the sky! Are you a monster!!


    Weve been trapped inside the ice wall!! We cant go out!


    The vigers who have misinterpreted it as if a monster havee to massacre them fell into a panic.


    (I was seen that I was flying in the sky, but, it cant be helped, I should show my face)


    He wanted to hide his face because he was seen flying in the sky, but under his current condition, it was too suspicious. Falma removed his mask and the protective clothes hood, then called out to them.


    I am a Royal Apothecary from the Imperial Capital. I havee to save you


    It wasnt a monster, but a human?


    I-Isnt it just a child


    Y-You, please tell us, what in the would is this disease?!!


    It is the ck gue


    Falma answered immediately. Firstly, he needs to get them have a maximum sense of crisis.


    It was like that after all! Were gonna die! All of the viges will!


    When the viges who knew about the nightmare from 210 years ago was about to fall into panic, Falma encouraged them with a loud voice.


    If you want to live, please listen to what I am going to say right now!


    While taking a look through the vigers, Falma continued his words with a clear voice.


    The ck gue is a disease caused by small organisms that cannot be seen by the naked eye. If it were let alone, the fatalities would only increase. Even if you run away from here while infected by the ck gue, you will still die. Even if you leave the vige, if you were stung by fleas that carry the ck gue, it would cause the ck gue


    What should we do! Were still going to die whatever we do! And why the heck are you enclosing us?!!


    The male hunter that was in a frenzy, shouted at Falma while pointing a knife.


    Thats why Im telling you, I havee with a strong medicine to fight the ck gue


    Medicine for the ck gue, does that exist


    The third ss apothecary who was the first to try and run away from the vige, walked in front with unreliable feet, seemingly to be unbelieving.


    I cannot promise that everyone will be saved. However, let us fight together to minimize the fatalities. The reason that I enclosed this vige with an ice wall, is also to save you. Anyone would be afraid of a deadly disease, but please do not run away, and receive treatment


    Falma asked help to the vige official to grasp the number of people within the vige.


    The poption of the Esthark Vige is 524 people.


    There are 93 people who were carried into the viges clinic.


    15 people who have died.


    8 people who have already left the vige.


    18 people who were coincidentally not in the vige.


    390 vigers in this ce right now.


    Falma divided the ice walls that covered the vige with three areas. He removed a part of the ice wall, and created a small entrance.


    Divide the infected and non-infected, we will divide them with section with serious conditions, infected, and non-infected


    He made a triage. He looked at the 390 viges in that ce using Diagnosis Eye, and divided them into their sections. And during that, he handed out masks, and urged them you wash their hands with generated water.


    The ones who have entered the non-infected sections became happy, and the ones who were ced in the infected section had their shoulders low.


    The division of the sections is a measure to prevent the spread of infection. I will hand out medicine to everyone


    Falma handed out sparfloxacin that he prepared beforehand in parts to the vigers with the help of the viges official and pharmacists ording to their sections, and started to instruct how to use the medication ording to the manual that Falma handed.


    Those pregnant, children, and toddlers, pleasee to me


    Falma gathered the vigers who need to be careful about the use of the medication, and personally looked at their conditions to give the appropriate amount of medication.


    Thus, when the prescription of the medicine began, there was a situation where there was amotion and a was even knife was taken out to receive the medication first.


    You fools, the pharmacist-sama is even giving us medicine, so give him a break! Who wants to die right now nn!!


    The vige official who was irritated pulled out a sword so themotion has ceased.


    Please calm down, I have prepared enough fro everyone. I will also let the people who have yet to be infected take them too


    Falma encouraged them, and made them calm down.


    He finished giving out medicine to everyone who was present, let them take it, and asked to grasp the number of vigers. For a while, it looks like they have felt alive again after receiving the medicine. Falma created generated water using divine arts and stocked water in water jugs, and asked them to wipe their bodies using that water. And then, he incinerated the clothes they wore that was infected with the gue, and asked them to change into old clothes that they have in their closet, the ones that do not have the gue.


    Next, Falma went towards the clinic where the seriously ill were gathered, and started to treat them. The beds were aligned in a wide space, and the patients areid down there. Even the floor was filled with patients. Some of the temples medical priests and priests who was doing charity have stayed, but they were unable to do anything for the patients who were suffering a high fever, and the patients that had started to have bloody spots.


    They were wearing weird bird shaped masks in their face, and was wearing thick white protective clothes and gloves. In the beaks of the bird, herbs with strong aroma for chasing away evil spirits were packed, and the eye part is covered with ss. Holding a staff, they were looking at the patients without directly touching them It was a strange appearance simr to the gue doctors in Earth during medieval times.


    These clothes, although they were notpletely enough, Falma thought that they were somewhat reasonable costume as a countermeasure against the gue. However, there is no meaning unless it was used once, then thrown away afterward.


    When Falma entered the clinic, he filled the Medicine Gods Staff with powers, filling that ce with sanctuary, and stops further air infection. There were also priests who have reacted to the sudden appearance of a sanctuary.


    It feels like the air is being purified


    Ah!! Isnt it the Medicine God-sama!


    One of the inquisitors that have fought in the hill near the imperial capital before was coincidentally in this ce. It seems like he was dispatched from the Marseille Parish hearing that the disease has appeared.


    Child, do note, leave right away!


    You insolent, this person is not a child!


    Thanks to him, the situation progressed smoothly.


    They did what they had to do ordingly to what Falma had instructed, and made all of the patients take medicine. Falma let the patients who would not be saved just as is drink medicine with high effects using the water created using divine arts. Immediately after treating the seriously ill patients. For the septic patients, a number of measures must be taken with antibiotic administration. Arge amount of infusion, and surgical resection of the necrotic tissue must also be done. Various state conditions must be managed as well.


    Patients who are deranged, patients who do not have the enough will to struggle, patients who have lost their consciousness. Groaning voices and sobbing voices could be heard from here and there.


    It was like a picture of hell inside the clinic. Despite having a sanctuary, it was full of signs of death.


    Looking at them with the Diagnosis Eyes, they would seem like a blue shing soul that have covered their whole body.


    Falma used water creation to make infusions, and started to infuse arge amount in patients with sepsis. The water created is sterile, and the infusions solute is created by material creation. Falma has forbidden himself to inject needles into his patients, but he would do everything he could in this ce. Even so, even in the hospitals of modern Japan where equipments were modernized, 30% of the severe sepsis patients would die.


    (NoI cannot save them with my powers!)


    It was not a problem that can be solved by medicine prescription. It was already out of hand for a single pharmacist.


    Falma knew his own limits as a pharmacist.


    However, he had forgotten something.


    That he has the Medicine Gods Staff, and he is an inhuman divine arts user who can use the Medicine Gods powers.


    (I should, do that)


    He raised the Medicine Gods Staff using both of his hands towards the patients, and casted the secret technique Relief of the Origin that the Head Priest Salomon had tranted for him. It was a cheat God Skill that would call out the immune systems of that the patients have originally, raise the effects of the medicated medicine to its utmost limit and erase the side effects, but he does not know how would it heighten the immune system at all. This God Skill, he had heard that it would not activate if a medicine is not given first, and cannot be used without medicine.


    Falma has thought that its effects were dubious, so he had never tested it, and did not have a situation to use it too.


    Even so, as ast resort, he would cast the secret technique on everyone using the Medicine Gods Staff.


    When Falma has released the God Skill towards the patients, the insignia of the Medicine God appeared in the bodies of the patients, and the patients whole body started to shine as if it was protected by a white veil.


    (The God Skill looks amazing, does it have effects?)


    The effects could not be seen, so he could not tell with a nce. It might only have the effects of a shoddy magic trick too.


    (I hope that there would be some effects. Even so)


    Falma was impatient. Even while he is taking care of the seriously ill patients like this, the smugglers and their cargo are heading towards the imperial capital while spreading the gue. He had sent his father a report that the ck gue was found. Even if it were not able to get through the imperial capitals quarantine, the pathogens would pass through the viges, towns, and mountains that connect to the imperial capital.


    A lot of people and animals would be infected.


    The priests did not know how to react to the miracle that was happening in front of them, and was petrified.


    The priests who have been exposed to the God Skill that Falma used, the one that seems to be a technique that is unable to be done by a human, they havepletely believed the what the ex-inquisitor have said that Falma was the Medicine God. And, for them who have reached the highest limits of their faith and loyalty,


    Medicine God-sama. Is there, is there anything that we can do


    Like that, the have called out to Falma.


    Thank you, I want to ask you. Is there a water and me divine art user


    I am


    I am also one, please tell us what to do


    Two priests stepped forward. They were non-infected.


    Smugglers and their cargo which has been infected by the disease are moving towards the imperial capital. If you see an infected, catch them by surrounding them with ice walls,pletely incinerate their belongings, and let the infected drink this medicine. I will also follow as soon as the patients in here are treated


    They will be exposed to the infected and the source of infection, but they are wearing protective clothes.


    4 units to chase after them were created, with the me divine art user and water divine art user as a center.


    Half a day have passed then.


    The boy pharmacist has left the clinic together with the priests very exhausted after midnight. The vigers have prepared arge number of graves, but the corpses that were carried out from the clinic within the 96 people, were only three. They were patients who had a cardiac arrest, and were not in time to be given medication. There were also patients whose blood spots have disappeared, and begged for food and water.


    The modern medicine and Falmas god skill had qualitative effects, making the fatalities at the minimum, saving many patients.


    I wille again


    Do not leave the sanctuary within the ice walls for a few days. Even if the ice walls have thawed and you are able to go outside, do not touch rats and small animals as long as possible. The exterminate the vermin that had entered the vige, starting from rats and fleas.


    And after he finished telling them other things to be careful of, he took the Medicine Gods Staff with his hand, and flew away towards the nextnd that waits for his help. The vigers ced their hands together towards the direction where Falma have left.


    All of the people who have received Falmas god skill in the clinic started to show signs of healing, their blood spots became thinner, and there were no more seriously ill that were fighting for their lives. Even the patients who were about to die, had their lives saved.


    The vigers who have returned from outside the ice walls through the small entrance have returned, so they were given antibiotics.


    The Medicine God-sama in the form of a human have appeared


    The tragedy that hit that small fishing vige turned into one myth.

 Volume 2 - Ch 14.1

    Do not forgive any smuggling vessel! Sink all of those smuggling ships to the bottom of the sea without mercy!!


    Admiral Jean put out his battleship, and patrolled the coast. Also, he ordered to strengthen the coast security by sending several messenger seabirds, using the branch offices of the East Idun Company in the ces across the Empire. Because captured crew members and workers got sick, he sent out messenger seabirds carrying medicine.


    Offshore, continuously driftingrge sailing ships that are registered to Nedale was also found with a disastrous situation. It is what Falma could not find out. It was very unexpectedly out of the ocean.


    Crew members who were inside the ship, they were inflicted by the ck gue, and they were copsed here and there, some lost their strength and died. They probably tried to return to Nedale Country, but they could not steer the ship properly anymore.


    Is this that smuggling ship?


    Admiral Jean towed the wrecked ship further offshore, loaded arge amount of gunpowder, and blew off the ship itself. He sank the ship to the bottom of the sea.


    If you have obediently received the quarantine, most of you were probably saved. You fools


    It is not a quarantine to steal the freedom of the merchants, but a quarantine to save lives, Falma said. They were too ignorant and pathetic.


    The mast that raised the g of Nedale Country tilted greatly, and finished its long journey through the sea.


    Admiral Jean took off his hat on the deck, and gazed intently at the origin of the epidemic, making a whirlpool on the sea.


    And just around that time, Ellen who was left behind at the quarantine in the Port of Marseille was continuing the quarantine together with her disciples and the me divine arts users carefully. Shepared the quarantine results that were raised by the technicians, each sample that was collected from the ships.


    Everyone has passed, until number 20 can dock


    Master, you have already be ustomed to the quarantine huh


    Ellens disciple who was following her was impressed. Ellen took a breath, wiping her sses with a cloth.


    We dont know about that, we might have let some of the escape. I do not have special powers like Falma-kun, so I cannot see through them perfectly


    Each one of the ships, even if the inspection would take time and make itter for them to dock to the port, to not let anything escape. They continued to follow the inspection method that Falma had taught them, and inspected each sample of the cargo. When an infected person is found, they would be isted and given medication. The ones who were administered during the initial stage were saved, but those who were already in severe conditions were not saved. However, that is what the ck gue is. It is impossible for everyone to be saved 100%, so lets do what we can, Falma said.


    The quarantine with Falmas special ability was quick, but the discovery rate of the ck gue pathogens did not differ a lot with Ellens manual inspection.


    Master Falmas medicine, it really has effects


    Just as you can see, although we are wearing protective suits, we are not getting sick although we have physical contacts with the patients after all. It is very frustrating but, from the past up until now, I have never felt my life being so protected by a single medicine just like how I feel right now


    Master Falma also said that it is possible to extract things with the same effect from microorganisms


    Yes, that also makes me very interested. Lets do our best, I could finally see the end


    There are only 6 remaining vessels.


    Falma-kun is doing his best after allI wonder if that boy is okay


    Ellen was worried about Falma who went to the vige infected by ck gue by himself. She could not help herself be frustrated, being unable to leave this ce. However, Ellen was able to do something for them.


    At that day, the Lords deputy Adam and Ellen heard about the miracle that happened in the Esthark Vige.


    I also want to be treated like that


    Ellen strongly felt herck of ability and helplessness as a pharmacist. After all, recently, she was all reliant on Falmas newly developed medicine, and his knowledge that could only be described as otherworldly. And because of that, there was a huge burden on Falma by himself. He is trying to do everything by himself. Even though the situation became like this, Ellen could not do anything for him.


    I need to, I need to learnthe basics of the basics from Falma-kuns pharmacology, I need to be able to support him


    Ellen thought of that once again. Before, Ellen was Falmas pharmaceutical and divine arts master. Just because she had the standings as her master, she could not step forward and ask him to teach her.


    That is probably the same with Bruno. Bruno has his own status, and it is hard for him to tell Falma Please teach me.


    (After the crisis of the ck gue leaves, I can only learn as an innocent student)


    And once again, Ellen realized, that spreading his teachings not only within the Empire but also to the pharmacists from different countries, is a job that she can also do.


    Knowledge is powerScientia est potentia


    That is the school lesson engraved at the main gate of San Flueve Imperial Pharmacy School.

 Volume 2 - Ch 14.2

    Episode 14  Targeted San Flueve Imperial Capital (Part 2)


    It became midnight, and the atmosphere of the night became dense.


    After leaving the Esthark Vige, Falma found the 8 family members who have escaped from the vige inside a deserted house along the way to the imperial capital. Among them, three had a high fever, and the children there could not move, they could only make they bodies closer to each other. The children were fast asleep. They were the ones who escaped from the vige, frightened after the fever began.


    He(Falma) created a divine field inside the mansion. The territory that was purified even drove out mosquitoes and small insects. They woke up due to Falmas footsteps.


    Y-You chased us, you chased us who have started to get sick right?!


    The father stood up staggering with his frightened voice, he asked Falma while panting due to his sickness while pointing a short sword.


    From how they saw him, Falma was shining with light. Especially when holding the Medicine Gods Staff, they could see him shining in the dark. Falma also knew about that, but he cannot hide it.


    Did youe to kill us?! Am I right?!


    The mother protects her children.


    No, no, I dont wanna die!


    When their nerves reached its max, the intruder said.


    I came to save you


    He?


    You are, Herman-san of the Esthark Vige right


    Falma gives the medicine together with the water he created to everyone, and to be sure, he casts Relief of the Origin to them.


    After casting the spell, Falma staggers, and sat down on a decaying chair.


    Drink the medicine, and after you feel better, please return to the Esthark Vige. Also, as much as possible, please do not touch humans or animals. If you started to have a hard time walking, borrow a wagon at the highway


    Falma says as travelling expenses, and gives them gold coin.


    What happened to Esthark Vige?


    18 have died. However, everyone have taken the medicine, so I think that they would calm down after a few days


    Y-You, who are you!


    I am just a pharmacist


    Falma answered quietly.


    At that time, the sound of anexplosion echoed throughout the forest in the night, and a fire pir created by me divine arts have appeared several kilometers away.


    Leaving the deserted house, Falma quickly rose in the air with the staff on one hand, and when he have reached enough altitude, he narrowed his eyes towards the mes.


    The patients who were left in the forest could only look at each other.


    A person? H-He flew


    Theres no way that a human could fly right


    Did we have hallucinations due to the high fever, someone said.


    And just like that, they fell to sleep. Even so, the medicine that entered their bodies continued to show eminent effects.


    Its there


    Falma descents with the Medicine Gods Staff, and ran towards there. The third chasing unit of priests that have left Esthark was surrounding wagons and the ones who pulled them, incinerating them. The corpses and cargo had already started to carbonize and sparks were rising.


    They were already dead?


    Yes, Medicine God-sama, they were already dead. It was, they had just died when we came. Thats why, we are incinerating their corpses together with the cargo. Their nationality is Nedale Country


    It looks like the porters of the Nedale Country have been infected by the ck gue, dying while leaving their load on this ce. The documents of their transportation were left, and the priest shows that to Falma.


    What was their load?


    ording to the documents, high-ss woolen fabric and rare dyestuffs from colonies. But, the load inside was removed from here. It must be ced in another wagon


    This should not be the end, there must be other porters. I will go ahead of the chasing units


    We will take care of this


    Falma floated to the air, and uses the divine technique Disease Destruction Sanctuary. Activating the spell, a blue wave runs through the sky as if it was an aurora. With this, it should cover a radius of several kilometers.


    When he finishes activating the divine technique and descends to the ground, Falma fell to his knees. His breath was also rough.


    Are you feeling bad somewhere


    Ah, no, that is, probably, noI think


    (The degree of fatigue is rising? Its somewhat different from usual.


    He could not catch his breath. Even if he casts divine techniques using the Medicine Gods Staff, he had never got tired like this up until now. However, something is different. Did I get infected by the gue, he worried. Just in case, he has taken the preventive medication against gue but.


    Are you out of divine powers


    Eh? I wonder if it is so


    The female fire attributed priest Kiara noticed something, and touched Falmas back with the portable divine power gauge. The divine power gauge is something that every divine arts user would bring with them, and divine arts users would use divine techniques while taking a look at the remaining gauge. The best way is to grip it with their hands, but it could measure wherever it touches the body. The gauge was transparent, it was well over the gauge.


    n? Did you do something?


    Falma doesnt notice that his divine powers were being measured in secret, and gives a strange look at the female priest whose expression was frozen.


    Excuse me, your divine powers are not exhausted at all. Please take some rest. You must be tired


    He had never felt that his divine powers have decreased at all, so Falma thought that his divine powers are infinite.


    (Thinking of it again, theres energy that is being used, so it shouldnt be infinite huh)


    Thinking of it in physics, it was very natural. If powers are used, some other things would be spent.


    (I should ask help to the Head Priest in the imperial capital, and start seriously experimenting about divine arts. I might even die, if I would use it without nning at all)


    I have died from overwork once, would I die like that once again. Falma thought.


    (Well, assuming that I die)


    He was spending all his time and effort on spreading medicine to themoners of the imperial capital, the study of divine arts, and he had always left his own affair aside. He had learned today that ifbined properly, Falma could heal people who cannot be cured with just medicine if his healing effects would be added. It is worth trying after this difficulty ends. he thought.


    I am very ashamed to offer this humble thing to Medicine God-sama but, please


    Bread and water, and an apple were ced in front of Falma. For almost a day, he had not taken anything through his mouth, and have not rested at all. It was a hard bread, but the persons kindness added to the vor, and the bread tasted delicious.


    Is it okay? Thank you


    Too much fatigued, Falma could not fly anymore, so he rode the horse together with Kiara, and advanced towards the imperial capital.


    This is, for humans, well, assuming


    Kiara calls out to Falma who riding on her back and was very tired, leaning his body on her.


    Great divine techniques could not be used consecutively. The divine techniques would exhaust divine powers, but it would also exhaust ones mind. This might be rude but, firstly, children cannot cast great divine techniques, you must make your body rest. Today, how many times did you use divine techniques?


    She is young, but she is a priest who talks in a tone of a mother. I used Disease Destruction Sanctuary a lot of times, and also used divine techniques to assist the healing of the patients, Falma remembered.


    Around, a hundred, I think. I mightve used more, I dont remember though


    Did you use it so many times. Oh really! That is absurd, child, what are you thinking! Who told you that you can use it that much, you might die you know?!


    And, when she heated up that much, the surrounding priests scolded her, dont be rude to the Medicine God-sama.


    Thank you, Kiara-an


    Her words are strong, but shes just probably worried about me, Falma thought and got thankful, and took a nap on the horse. Kiara held the rope that was binding her and Falma properly.


    After making the horses run for a while, a new fire urred far ahead. Falma felt the fire and woke up.


    It looks like they found them


    Making the horses hurry, they saw the scene where 4 porters who survived were caught by the 2nd chase unit, and their loads getting burned. The porters were obediently tied up. They were already infected with fever, and doesnt have any strength left to resist.


    W-We were just hired with a contract!


    We dont know a damn thing about the load


    The porters who were tied up started to say their excuses.


    They were men from the Nedale Country.


    Falma went off the horse, and approached them. They made a dubious face because of the appearance of a child.


    How many cargoes are going towards the imperial empire? What are their loads? If you answer, we will give you medicine, if you wont, then just die


    He threatened them with an emotionless tone.


    There are 4 more wagons going to the imperial capital. Two wagons are woolen fabrics, one is spices, and thest one is animals


    They must have wanted their lives, they started to talk. They bought a horse that would pull the load along the way, so they expected that it would arrive at the imperial capital tomorrow.


    Animals?


    Falma felt a bad feeling.


    Its the white squirrel from the Pante Ind


    (A rodent. It could be a carrier of the pest)


    Falmas intuition was raising rms. Humans would get infected by pest bacteria through the fleas of rats and rodents like squirrels. The load this time might be a main source of infection.


    The Pante Inds inhabitants have been annihted. You knew about that right? Why would you bring animals from an infected ind. You, you guys were infected by that, yourrades died from that right!


    Falma asked the 4 porters while silently holding back his anger.


    I-I dunno, whats the connection with that. Those guys, they just couldnt endure the long voyage, it doesnt have anything to do with us after reachingnd!


    The porter rebuked. It is a world where diseases are caused by miasma and evil spirits.


    The idea of small pathogens infects animals to animals, unless they are themoners of the imperial capital, themoners of other countries could not have them.


    We just carried products that might be sold at a high price, they said. Even if they were told that 18 people had died because of them, they would not understand. They were also just victims.


    How many went towards the imperial capital


    There are 24 porters, and 5 holy knights


    Holy knights?


    Holy knights, generally, they are divine artist knights who have be a master-servant with nobles.


    There are 3 wind attributed, and 2 water attributed. They are the Kingdoms knights


    Why are the Kingdoms holy knights guarding a small caravan!


    The ones that guards porters are normallymoner bodyguards. It is impossible that divine arts users, or in other words, nobles, would guard merchants.


    I dunno, they came with in the port along the way


    This isthere is something. Normally, people would not forcefully sell shady products taken from an infected ind. Because the next year after they do that, they would not be allowed to enter San Flueve Market. It would be a problem of trust


    Kiara felt the conspiracy. Falma also agreed.


    (The mission of the holy knights that are with the Nedale Country, is to spread disease to the Empire?)


    Thinking about it carefully, I have thought that there was something strange. Elizabeth, the Empress, she has been infected by tuberculosis alone. Normally, getting tuberculosis alone is unnatural. The source of infection cannot be found. Falma doubted. He thought that there might have been tubercle bacillus that came together with the tributes given to the Empress. He felt that because that n has been destroyed, this time, they are trying topletely spread epidemic throughout the imperial capital. A huge number of squirrels infected by the pest bacteria, if they were released in the imperial capital


    Dont tell me, Nedale Country deliberately spreads the gue, and tries to destroy the Empire using that, when Falma started to get very agitated because of that,


    We already said enough right. Give us medicine, please, you have it right?


    The porter begged for his life. They are just bullets. Bullets for carrying the ck gue


    Medicine God-sama, would it not be better to not give medicine to scum like these


    Kiara loathed.


    Falma, it would be a lie if he did not have the feeling of not giving them medicine. But even so, he had decided to himself that as long as he is a pharmacist, he must heal people equally. That is why, Falma will give them Medicine.


    Their testimony might be of help to grasp the logistics of the infected cargo, and to prevent the urrence of smuggling countries.


    After they recover, pass them to the empire, and punish them with the empires rules


    After saying that, Falma gripped the Medicine Gods Staff. He had taken a nap on the horse, so he could already fly.


    The imperial capitals in danger


    The priests pray with gratitude to the boy who floated in the air, disappearing in the sky with the rising sun.

 Volume 2 - Ch 14.3

    Episode 14  Targeted San Flueve Imperial Capital (Part 3)


    The two carrier pigeons that carry the first report of Falma who was in Marseille arrived at Bruno who was staying in the imperial capital.


    Cargo of ships that are infected by the ck gue and sailors who were infected has been found.


    The ck gue is being prevented fromnding by the quarantine in the waterfront, but it is certain that it would invade throughnd connected to other countries.


    Strengthen the quarantine of the imperial capital, iste the ones who have returned from outside of the wall for a few days in isted areas.


    The instructions from Falma were written.


    It finally came! Falma, Eleanorare you alright


    Was Falma and Ellen infected by the ck gue, Bruno was worried about their safety. But, however, even if the two copses, Bruno needs to continue his duty as a servant of the country in San Flueve Empire.


    When Bruno reports to the Empress the urrence of the ck gue, Elizabeth in the pce says,


    The nightmare, it became a reality. Together with your son, good job on preparing


    She praised Brunos work.


    What shall we do, Your Majesty. Shall we close the gates to the imperial capital right away


    The secretary of national affairs Philipp asked the Empress. There are three rivers flowing in the San Flueve Imperial Capital, there are twelve gates, and eight waterways. There are quarantines in all of the castle gates, and strict examinations are being done. There are also strict limitations on the ships that go through the waterways.


    Please excuse my rudeness, but if the gates and waterways werepletely closed, there would be an outbreak outside the castle gates


    Bruno was reluctant. If the gates and waterways were closed, the imperial capital would escape the gue, however, the merchants and their shipments would be stagnated outside the castle gates. If the infected people outside the castle gates increases, the logistics of the imperial capital will halt. Most of the food provisions in the imperial capital areing from outside. If the gates were closed, it cannot be opened.


    Having the gue spread in popted areas is not good as well. Everything within the imperial capitals castle gates is being purified, ones that we know that have not been infected by the gue should be let inside the imperial capital. Bruno had said.


    And thatmand, it was immediately sent to the quarantine station.


    The personnel of the Different World Pharmacy 2nd Shop, 3rd Shop, and the pharmacist guild franchise members are working in the quarantine station. Lotte and Cedric, and those other pharmacist helpers are giving masks for protection to the merchants who are entering the imperial capital.


    Everyone! Lets protect ourselves! Against the bad disease!


    Lotte raised her voice.


    This is a mask that would prevent you from breathing in small living organisms


    Small living organisms?


    The merchants does not understand, but in front of the guards of the imperial capital, they obeyed obediently.


    nn?!


    Pierre, the guild master of the dispensing pharmacy guild, who is in the central quarantine office, is checking the report results that havee from the sixth quarantine station.


    HereMr. Pierre, this is


    Tension runs through the technicians voice.


    Theres no mistaking it, its positive!


    They said that a merchant caravan that is carrying white squirrels have been caught in the quarantine.


    The ck gue pathogens that no one has ever seen.


    However, with the inspection method that Falma has given, it shows as positive.


    Pierre did not hesitate, he believed Falma. All of the merchants were positive, and the guards were divine arts users, but they have high fever.


    Iste them! Iste them immediately!! Hurry to the sixth quarantine station!!


    However, when Pierre and the others have arrived abruptly to the quarantine station,


    Water SpearSpear van water


    In the sixth quarantine station, they saw the Nedale Countrys Holy Knights releasing their divine techniques.

 Volume 2 - Ch 15.1

    When the Dispensing Pharmacy Guild Master, Pierre had reached the possibility of pest victims, the sixth quarantine station which was set up in front of the sixth wall gates was blown away by divine arts.


    Enemy attack!! Close the gates!!!


    The gate guard shouted, the gates closed and the drawbridge was about to be raised, but failed. Even though portcullis was dropped, the water attributed holy knight created a boulder size ice block blocking the shutters, and entered through the gates by sliding. Although the five holy knights were infected by the ck gue it seems like they have considerable skills, the armored knights that tried to block they were were blown away by wind arts, crashing into the walls to their deaths. The amount of their divine powers and proficiency as a unit could be distinguished as royal guards of the kingdom.


    These guys, theyre strong!


    The imperial capitals guardsmen held their gun, San Flueves holy knights pulled out their staff, and casts their divine techniques with each of their attributes ording tomand.


    Ready! First squad, fire!


    Although the musket squad fires from above the gate, an ice wall was created and could not hit them.


    Second squad, fire!


    Actually, bullets and shells cannot pierce even through normal ice, so the thin ice created by an advanced divine arts user has enough defense.


    Damn it, a high tier water attribute huh!


    Three of Nedale Kingdoms holy knights have finally brought in a covered cage within the castle gates, and when they opened the cages, a horde of small white critters was released to the imperial capital. Half of them have died unable to endure the ck gue, but those who had survived has scattered in the capitals market very quickly.


    The squirrel, it flew?!


    People screamed because of the unexpected movements of the squirrel.


    Some of them climbed up the gutter, and flew away, jumping from roof to roof.


    The Nedale Kingdoms merchants said that they were white squirrels, but they flying squirrels. Flying squirrels are also rodents. The first item to be sold in San Flueves Market is fabric.


    When the fleas of the flying squirrel infected by the pest enter them, it quickly bes a medium of infection.


    This is bad, emergency!! Close the second gates!


    The imperial capital is a vast fortified city, and although it is not as clearly separated as it was with a castle town, the administrative area where emperors, nobles, and military personnel live is clearly divided from themon area wheremoners live. There are nobles who has their dwellings in the suburbs, but themilitary personnel lives in the imperial capitals administrative area. From the standpoint of defense, the alleys are purposely created in an echelon shape so that every ce could be observed. Even if the first gates in the outeryer were broken through, the second gates would block the enemys path.


    The second gates leading to the court and administrative are were immediately shut down.


    Enter your houses and close the doors! Dont let the infected squirrels go inside!


    Signal fireworks that are used to announce enemy attack wereunched to the sky from the towers in the sixth gate, and the court of San Flueve Empire and the Imperial Capital Land Army was informed immediately. The watchmen of bell towers in various parts of the imperial capital began to ring the rm bell loudly.


    As soon as the rm bell rang, all of the stores within the imperial capital closed their doors, and people started to hide inside the stores. It was arranged that passerby and beggars would also hide inside the stores. The people moved quickly to evacuate.


    Damn it!!!


    Guild Master Pierre who crawled out under the destroyed quarantine station tent opened the medicine box that he had kept very carefully although he was full of wounds.


    Its now!


    The time to open the divided special medicine, sparfloxacin hase.


    Falma had said.


    No matter what color their blood is or what their status is, even if they are prisoners, give all of the patients that are still alive equally. If even one of them were not treated, or if those infected were allowed to move freely, they would be mediums and scatter the ck gue.


    All of you! Everyone! First! Drink the medicine!


    Pierre shouted at all of those in his surroundings.


    He gave all of them medicine, the gate guard, the crowd, the merchants, he soaks a brush in the ink-pot in his tool box, and marked everyones cheeks with ink. It is an unerasable ink that was supplied by Falma, and would identify those who are infected. And all of those who are marked must be taken to the quarantine zone.


    Make a wall of ice using divine arts here! Its a defense so that it would not spread more than this!


    Pierre gavemands to the divine arts user, and creates istion measures ording to the manual.


    He fixed the defensive line that was destroyed once again.


    Rather than the enemy attack, the infiltration of the ck gue is the one that must be stopped. It is an enemy far more frightening than a human enemy. ording to what Falma expects, if even one of the people in the imperial capital were infected, 60% of those who were in the imperial capital would die.


    Dont get beaten by something like the ck gue! We will survive!


    That was the shout of Pierres soul.


    Most of the rats and fleas that would be a medium of the pest within the imperial capital were exterminated. The people have also started to be hygienic. That is why, the interior of the imperial capital is the cleanest in the world if it ispared to other cities.


    The residents washes their hands, gargles, and masks were also distributed. The ck gue would not spread so easily. The spread of infection must not be allowed. But even so, it is a terrible epidemic.


    Were now in the critical point! Hurry up and do the countermeasures!


    Pierre used the medicine unsparingly, and medicine for 91 people was consumed in the sixth quarantine station.


    The medicine would not be enough, stop it to the minimum!


    Pierre did not forget to drink the medicine himself, and wore a gas mask-like equipment.


    The porters of the Nedale Kingdom that were left behind outside the castle gates took advantage of the confusion, they threw away their luggage, and tries to escape to where they came from.


    Stop right there!


    However, the Temples first chasing unit that had departed from Esthark has caught up and stopped them in their tracks.


    The merchants whose escape route were blocked by horses makes frightened expressions.


    Hii, save me!!


    Surrender you damn smugglers!! Surrender and I shall give you your life, however, if you would not, we shall kill you without mercy!


    The priests voice was firm and determined. The merchants who were terrified and kneels to the ground were captured, but a few merchants who have lost their reason due to being infected by the ck gue raises their voices and swings their knives, only to be killed by the priests. The doctrine of the temple is to condemn sinners but save those who repent.


    All of them have a high fever, so the merchants who surrendered were given medicine and immediately isted by the priests, and the luggage that they had were burned together with the corpses of the merchants who had resisted.


    Move!!! Open the way!!


    The holy knights of the Empiresnd army and the Imperial Guards directly under the Empress had arrived, eager to take down Nedale Kingdoms holy knights that had invaded through the castle gates.


    Theyunched a pre-emptive attack while riding horses towards Nedale Kingdoms holy knights.


    Scorching Combustion Enfer de brlure


    The fiery red mes attacked the elites of Nedale Kingdom and their surroundings were covered with fire pirs. The mes of the divine arts entangled the attack target.


    Wind BarrierBarrire van wind


    Negating that with a wind divine technique, the invaders delivers a counterattack.


    Both sides fought with death just by their side without stepping back. The Empires order of knights also gave their all, shooting great divine techniques without thinking of the damages inside the city.


    With the Empires pride on the line, they must take down Nedale Kingdoms holy knights.


    However, being cornered, surrounded by the Empires army at all sides, Nedale Kingdoms holy knights had prepared for their death, and tries theirst resistance. And,


    Raging Windstorm Storm van woede


    Nedale Kingdoms holy knights released all of the flying squirrels in the cages, and all of the wind attributed holy knights releases a wind great divine art towards the remaining carcass. The rotting carcass of the flying squirrels flew far up in the sky.


    A st of wind with the pest bacteria blows through the imperial capital. The st of wind broke the doors and windows of the houses and the wind entered the house. A merchantpany copses to the ground.


    It looks like they nned on fanning a st of wind, infecting the whole imperial capital with the pest.


    Cleansing Wind Vent de purge


    Purification of the Land Purification de terre


    The order of knights from the temple area of San Flueve imperial capital who werete had counterattacked with wind attributed and earth attributed purification divine arts with Head Priest Salomonsmand. The wind full of divine powers bellows, creating a whirlwind. The imperial capitals alley, spanning several tens of meters, became a purifiednd that wards off epidemic.


    Thou shall not use the art of the gods. Thou shall be deprived of your divine pulse!


    They were convicted by Head Priest Salomons dauntless voice.


    The privilege of the temple. That is, the privilege that presides over the opening and closing of the divine pulse of divine arts users. It is a secret technique only to be passed to the head priests of the parish, and although the divine pulse cannot be closed if they do not know the targets name, it is possible to one-sidedly disenable a targets divine arts with a simplified method. Divine arts users whose divine pulse were closed will be ordinarymoners.


    Ohh!!


    The armed priests forms a formation, and encloses the holy knights.


    The Head Priest started the long chants for severing the divine pulse. And seeing that, Nedale Kingdoms holy knights attacks the Head Priest. But in return, the temples elite troops and the Empires order of knights covered the Head Priests incantation.


    Imprisoning mes Prison de mme


    The Empires Imperial Guards high-tier me divine arts user activated a great divine technique and surrounded Nedale Kingdoms holy knights with a wall of mes.


    Drought of the Holy Spring Fermez le Puits sacr


    Head Priest Salomons secret technique waspleted.


    The ring of light that was shot from the staff attacks the invaders and were absorbed into their body. And countless ice arrows pouring down to them as if to follow it.


    The invaders that lost their divine arts could not defend, and were pierced through.


    One of the holy knight who advanced the ck gue the most, tragically fell down to the ground, and took hisst breath.


    The mes created by the firewalls devoured the corpses, burning them not leaving a bone intact.

 Volume 2 - Ch 15.2

    Your Majesty! The sixth quarantine station was broken through, the holy knights of Nedale Kingdom has attacked


    How many are they?!


    The Empress asked excitedly. Hearing that there was an enemy attack, it seems as if she was enjoying.


    There are five of them


    One holy knight is equal to about a hundred ofmon soldiers. However, the Empress was disappointed.


    It is not a hugemotion that the warning bells are needed to be rung


    However, the warning bell rung for a very long time. The Empress who got impatient by that was,


    Let me see, shall I go to crush them directly


    When she pleasantly smiled like that, she raised her hips from the throne.


    Y-Your Majesty, that is


    What, I shall not kill them I will let them off with half their life


    If Elizabeth who is the continents strongest me arts useres out, it would be finished in an instant. The aids and ministers did not doubt that. The Empress, hearing that there was an enemy attack, rather than being afraid, she has a bloodthirsty personality that she would want to personally clean them up herself. However,


    Please wait, Your Majesty


    Bruno stopped the Empress.


    It is very dangerous if the Empress, Your Majesty would go to the front lines


    To think that someone would worry about me that much, am I not being belittled


    It looks like the Empress got her fighting spirit burning instead with Brunos words. The divine ki around her sparked, and theyer of divine powers looked like a mirage.


    Marseilles ck gue, it must have entered the imperial capital


    What did you say


    The mortality of the ck gue is especially high, and it is being called as the king of epidemics. How many casualties will there be, the Empress thought and got pale. Even the strongest Empress does not have a way to defend against pathogens. She herself almost died because of tuberculosis.


    Nedale Kingdoms intentions are unknown, please just stay at the pce


    The secretary of national affairs Philipp also followed what Bruno has said.


    I ask Her Majesty to take the preventive medicine for the ck gue


    If the Empress became infected by the ck gue, the nation could not stand.


    Bruno prescribed the medicine that Falma has given him to the main ministers. The ministers who trust Bruno and Falma drank that without hesitations.


    Even so, why does Nedale attack our imperial capital


    After the Empress had drunk the medicine, she closed and opened her fan with annoyance. It has been a long time since the country of Nedale became the vassal state of San Flueve Empire. And it is bounded to the Empire with an alliance as a protectorate, it is not an enemy country.


    The previous kings demise was just recent, and Nedale Kingdoms current ruler is 4 years old. Even if the regent aids of the young king started a rebellion, conspiracies, or power fighting, and resulted to rebelling against the Empire, they would not send 5 soldiers for a surprise attack.


    If that is so,


    Who is the mastermind?


    They understand the nature of the ck gue very wellit would not be designed by uncultured people. They would either be alchemists, doctors, pharmacists, or schrs


    Do you have one in mind


    Yes


    Bruno dug up from his memory of the past.


    Three years ago, he had heard that the Nedale Kingdom has weed an excellentmoner pharmacist. He did not know the name of that pharmacist, but the characteristics of the pharmacist and the way of his treatment were exactly the same with a certain wicked person.


    That was a pharmacist who imed the title of the Norvatz Medicine Universitys genius, and gained fame by establishing numerous way of treatments just like Bruno. However, he was particrlycking humanity and morality, and repeated numerous brutal human experimentations.


    Before he was chased away, he received a huge sum of money from a certain great noble from the Nedale Kingdom, and experimented with a poison that would efficiently kill a huge number of humans. And, it is being said that the poison substances that he developed were used to assassinate numerous heads of states.


    He would do whatever it is for the sake of his experiments. He even used a huge number of prisoners of war in his experiments.


    He was so wicked that the Temple severed his divine pulse and was dropped down to amoner, that was the story of a schr in the past.


    Bruno was one of those who uncovered his crimes and helped to banish him.


    It might have a connection with the demise of the previous king as well


    That is why, it is not very strange that that person who has experimented for strong poison substances would destroy a country using a poison that would magnify by infecting people, or in other words, an epidemic.


    Infectious diseases are caused by bacteria. It would infect animals to animals, it would infect humans to humans, it is a pathogen, and how to use that pathogen. Each of those, although it might only be a portion, he might know whats ahead better than Falma.


    And, the microscope must have given the confirmation to his hypothesis. Did he see it, the bacterium that stirs within the moribund or in the body fluids of the dead? Did he observe that with a creepy, and ruthless smile?


    Mdicis, can you still not understand. The beautiful truth of this world


    Bruno would never forget the words he heard from him the day that his divine pulse was severed, branded by the mark of never being able to use divine arts, and banished as amoner.


    Even if they were healed and healed, humans die. However, even if they die and die, humans will regenerate


    The wicked pharmacists name, it was called Kamyu.


    If the knowledge Falma disseminated with good will, the letters sent by Bruno across the borders,


    Returns dyed with the color of evil intents


    The world shall not get destroyed, so easily


    An evil spirit possesses Kamyu, Bruno thinks so.


    That man, we should have killed him


    Bruno regretted not crushing him at that time.


    The Nedale Kingdom and its citizen, what happened to them?


    The Empress asked Bruno a very simple question.


    I believe that they might be under catastrophic situation


    Bruno answered. The Nedale Kingdom must have also been attacked by surprise, or in the middle of a coup dtat.


    He kills humans very easily and simply. And, he would be amused that they would simply increase in numbers again.


    I see


    This time for sure, the Empress stood up. Short words, even that voice of hers were releasing the solemnity of an emperor.


    Send a campaign to the country of Nedale. Dispatch scouts. And while that happens


    We need to do something about the imperial capital, the Empress said, called Noah, and carried the Crimson Imperial Staff.


    Cedrick-san, what should we do. The sound of the bells, this is for the first time


    Lotte doubled the mask she was wearing, and looked towards the direction where the fire was raised together with the other pharmacists in the triumphal arch in the first quarantine station.


    The way the bells are sounded, there must have been an enemy attack. Their numbers are, waitahh, there are not that many. There are only ten, more or less


    Cedrick was able to grasp the number of enemies and the forces that intercepted them and the destruction of the city from how the bells were being rung.


    But, they are divine arts users. They are well-trained


    He grinds his teeth. Thinking that, If this body were not have aged, I wouldve able to run and help. Honestly speaking, Cedrick would not be of any help even if he went there. He knows the difference between their skills as well.


    Does everyone there, needs medicine? Would there be people who are injured?


    The shy battle with divine arts that urred inside the city made themoners area suffer great casualties. The roofs of the wooden houses were blown away, some were crushed, and a fire broke out. And it even seemed that the screams and shouts of themoners and merchants could be heard riding the wind.


    There is the Different World Pharmacy near the sixth quarantine station. There are many of Falma-samas dangerous medicine there. There are also ones that would cause explosions


    Lotte seemed to be very nervous and worried.


    I want to go to see if the Different World Pharmacy is not burning, Lotte desperately begged to Cedrick.


    No, you shall not. No one must approach them when a fight between divine arts users urs. You will be a hindrance


    Commoners would only be an impediment, they would only be a meat wall or taken as a hostage by the enemy.


    But! When Falma-sama returns, I think that he would be very sad seeing the pharmacy burning!


    Lottes eyes were full of tears.


    It would be when anything happens to you, that Falma-sama would be very sad


    Lotte could not say anything back. And all that she could do was to look up to the sky where the sparks spread feeling frustrated. She thought that right now under the same sky, Falma and Ellen were fighting to save lives in Marseille.


    Ah!? A-re


    Lotte suddenly pointed to the sky. A flying object rushed from the sky far away at tremendous speed, and made a sudden stop above the sky of the imperial capital.


    A bird? No, it looks like a humanwho is it


    Hearing Lottes words, Cedrick dropped his jaws.


    Falma returned to the sky of the imperial capital, andnded on the highest spire of the Guardian Temple in the imperial capital.


    The bells were ringing with deafening sounds all throughout the imperial capital. He thought that he would have a headache.


    (Dont tell meits already?!)


    He returned at full speed, even reducing his mental power to its limits. Even so,


    (Did it already break through?! The pest, did it enter the imperial capital?!)


    The ce around the imperial capitals sixth gates was noisy. It is the direction were the main road connects the Esthark Vige to the imperial capital, and it is the direction where the Different World Pharmacy is.


    He looked at the whole imperial capital with Diagnosis Eye from the sky.


    Doing that, he saw that a chunk of light-emitting bodies that glowed with the color blue had concentrated around the sixth gates.


    There are also many small light-emitting bodies that were moving at decent speed and unpredictable movements.


    Falma kicked away from the spire, flew with the Medicine Gods Staff towards the sixth gates. When he got close, he noticed that that which was jumping from roof to roof of the imperial capital was shing with a bluish white color.


    It isnt a squirrel. Its some kind of a new species of flying squirrels


    Falma received a shock. It was a rodent after all. And, because the flying squirrel could fly, it is worse, Falma thought.


    (Does the Nedale Kingdom knows that the pests infect through the rodents and their ticks?)


    The flying squirrel that was brought was infected by the ck gue, and be carcasses inside the cage. There must be airborne infections urring at present progressive form. Most probably, the main infection route is through airborne infection.


    The airborne infection is the most vicious infection route of the pest, and it would cause a pneumonic gue with 100% mortality rate.


    It started


    The flying squirrels that were released in the imperial capital were being hunted and exterminated by the divine arts of the divine arts users and the archer squad. The disposal team wearing masks and gloves gathered the carcasses in one ce, and incinerated them.


    However.


    One, two, three, four.


    The blue light shines down on the people of the imperial capital, and it spreads out.


    The light that shines the people who got infected was like a sea of fireflies. With just a quick nce, the number of infected has reached a few thousands.


    A disease that when one get infected, one would surely die.


    If it would not be taken care of here, sooner orter, the ck gue would quickly cover the whole continent.


    Millions shall die, just like how it went in the history of Earth.


    However, however! That light,


    Its still blue!


    The blue light is a disease that Falma could heal.


    If not, he would be seeing a red light. This means that this is a disease where Falmas hands could reach.


    It looked like a trial for Falma, passed down from the heavens.


    Ill heal it! As far as my powers reach!


    Exceeding the universe and the world, he reincarnated, and received inhuman abilities.


    It is an ability to save the people in this other world that do not have a way to fight.


    (If I wont use it now, then when!)


    (/) Even if I used all of my divine powers and lose my life, the price of receiving my second death is enough if many people would be saved.


    With those thoughts in his heart, feeling the thing that make all of his hair stand, he grasp the staff, and waved it hugely once, spreading the holy field throughout the entire imperial capital. Using the amount of divine powers that were unheard until now.


    Disease Destruction Sanctuary!!!


    It covered up to the horizons. With this, the airborne infection would be avoided. The speed of the blue lights encroaching have decreased, and finally stopped increasing. However, the light from the people who were once infected did not disappear.


    I know, I knew this


    Decontamination, next to that is the source of infection, then the treatment of the infected. Decontamination must be done all over the city.


    The first thing that he came up with is the aerial spraying of disinfectants. If there were no people, it would be fine. However, there are people below, and the is the concern about the harm to the human body.


    I see


    Most of all, there was something that exhibits a very strong disinfection effects.


    It is the creation of water using divine arts.


    The water created by divine arts users using divine arts does not easily decay, but the water created by Falmapletely stopped decaying. Not only it would stop the germs to reproduce, but it would also be killed. He knew about that because of the bacteria test that he did when the water server in the pharmacy was installed.


    When he thought that the customers would have diarrhea when even the beneficial intestinal bacteria were also killed, the did not. The disinfection effects might not be working against the beneficial bacteria. Though, it was not as if he had confirmed it.


    If its the water created with the Medicine Gods Staff


    Falma swung the Medicine Gods Staff, and hold it up to the heavens. He called out powersing from another world, creating a huge amount or water, andunched it into the atmosphere like a mist. The mass of steam that was cooled at high altitude creates water droplets, gathers rapidly, turned to raindrops, and became a downpour that poured onto the ground.


    The old texts that were passed down in the Temple were very difficult that the Head Priest was not able to trante, and Falma does not know as well, but it is a hidden technique called White Purification Rain that was unique to the Medicine Gods Staff.


    Those who are alive, those who are dead, those who are young, those who are old, humans, animals, nts, all of them were showered by the rain of purification.


    The people looked up to the sky, narrowing their eyes.


    The white human-shaped light-emitting body illuminates the sky above the imperial capital.


    The divine technique that Falma released became a beneficial rain outside, the fire that broke out from the houses quickly dispersed, inside the houses, it became a mist, those water droplets enclosed the pest bacteria killing it, and the air in the throughout the imperial capital was purified.


    Falma red towards the sixth gate with a strong gaze.


    Next is the eradication of the source of infection.

 Volume 2 - Ch 16.1

    The San Flueve Empire Imperial Capital, in the corner of that city.


    The many Empire order of knights and armed priests surrounds the Holy Knights of the Nedale Kingdom who had brought in the ck gue into the imperial capital.


    They had received arrows of ice, infected by the pulmonary gue, and seriously injured.


    Their huge blood loss had started and the pool of blood started to dye the stone pavement dark red. They are close to their death.


    If you bring the ck gue into the imperial capital, the Nedale Kingdom is just beside the Empire. The Nedale Kingdom shall perish as well!


    The Empire Armys major general scold the Holy Knights.


    It isckgue?


    While sobbing off from the intense vomit of blood, one of them widened his eyes.


    The Holy Knights looked like they are surprised. And, it would seem that they do not know how the ck gue infects. Right now, the public health guidance in the imperial capital has even reached the guards, and have the knowledge for infection prevention. However, the Holy Knights did not have that.


    We are just doing, what that man said


    We do not know his aim


    One of the Holy Knights falls.


    How ridiculous!


    Falma who have descended from the sky above the imperial capital stood up on the roof of a low store, where he could look down on the surrounded Holy Knights of the Nedale Kingdom. He wore the hood of his protective clothing deeply.


    When he used Diagnosis Eye on the Holy Knights of the Nedale Kingdom, all of them were red. And just right now, one of them have died and only two of them remains.


    He was toote.


    Our mission has ended


    While the two Holy Knights were coughing out blood, they started to talk.


    ording to them, all of the strategies was devised by a certain person.


    We have our countrymen as hostages


    They said that he imed that he has powers to control diseases that could kill thousands of men within a month, and to show that, he destroyed the colony.


    He told us that if we want to avoid getting a massacre of the people of the Nedale Kingdom, we must throw in those animals and their corpses into the imperial capital, and create a wind disturbance


    What that means, it would seem that the two of them does not know. They only thought that as long as the imperial capital would be a little infected, and as long as all of the citizen of the Nedale Kingdom would be saved, they could only do what they were told.


    They already unable to have calm judgments, with their King and the other royalty poisoned to death and their government not functioning.


    We, we have only carried the load as we were told. While that happened, the carriers died one by one and


    Because of that, the Holy Knights became impatient on executing their n. The nobles who have divine powers, they have higher immunity than themoners. But even so, the ck gue infected them.


    While getting pierced by ice arrows in their body, while roughly breathing and about to die, the Holy Knights, the elite of the Nedale Kingdom spoke out with frustration.


    The ck gue has yet to spread in the Nedale Kingdom.


    However, if they do not do what he says, the fate of the people of the Nedale Kingdom will end. They said that there was nothing that they could do.


    Why do you not kill that man! You, as skilled as you are?! Why, why did you follow what he said!


    The Imperial Guards Division Division Captain presses that question frustratingly.


    We cant kill himwe canthe, that guy, hes possessed by an evil spirit


    Humans cant kill him, the Holy Knight said an ambiguous thing.


    We tried to kill him, we tried many times, they said.


    The instant when we tried to kill him, they were already killed


    Good God, did the Guardian Temple in Nedale not exorcise the evil spirit!


    The Head Priest Salomon asked irritatingly. In the first ce, the devastation in the Nedale Kingdom has not been reported to the Great Temple. Help was not called.


    The templeit has been sealed off since two months ago. All of the priests were killed, all were killed, including pigeons and horses


    It is information that Head Priest Salomon did not know.


    To think that such troublesome thing is there


    Tearing off a Great Evil Spirit that the temple is no match, an evil spirit that possesses even a country, that is not an ordinary feat


    The priests showed vignce.


    What is the name of that man


    It was a question by a voice filled with pressure. It is Bruno who appeared. He hurried in a horse to personally confirm the situation.


    We do not know his name


    Bruno speaks out characteristics.


    Kamyu de Sado. Blue hair, has a huge burn scar on his left cheek, a one-eyed, cunning and evil man


    The Holy Knights widened their eyes to surprise.


    It was bulls-eye.


    Thats rightwe do not know his name, but that is right. We did what that odious man said. With this, the Nedale Kingdomissaved


    Thest breathing Holy Knight left those words of a will, made a satisfied expressionand perished. Their corpses were immediately incinerated carefully by the me divine arts users on the spot.


    (It was like that)


    Looking down on the start and end of that scene, Falma finally understood the situation. He did not understand what an evil spirit is, but he thought that there might be a reign of terror by a very heinous person in the core part of the Nedale Kingdom. Bruno seems to know something so I must ask him the detailster, Falma thought inside.


    Although countermeasures are needed towards the Nedale Kingdom,


    (I must first, stop the pest in the imperial capital. If this goes on, the medicine would not be enough)


    That was needed to be done first. He needed to have a priority list.


    Only Falma could create the medicine(sparfloxacin).


    (First, I must grasp the number of infected, and next to that is production of the shortage)


    Falma ces divine powers into the Medicine Gods Staff, and silently flew up while being careful not to be seen by the people who gathered.


    Because there are no more worries for enemy attacks, the warning bells that rung throughout the imperial capital started to stop as if the waves pulled back.


    However, Bruno who stared at the mes burning the Holy Knights of the Nedale Kingdom noticed a very important thing. While his eyes continue to stare, Bruno whispered silently in his mouth.


    This is bad


    That man, his heart is broken. He does not believe in people at all.


    He should be checking in his own eyes, whether the Holy Knights of the Nedale Kingdom did their job


    For him, humans dying, infected by disease looks beautiful.


    Weakening, despair, death, and the start of regeneration by the few people who endured the disease.


    In there, Kamyu feels beauty.


    He likes to see the scene of people getting infected and dying from the disease.


    on top of that, he likes to do it closely.


    Bastard!


    Bruno grips his staff tightly, and exploded with anger. Strong divine powers gushed out.


    Do not stop the warning bells!! Continue to ring them!


    He shouted.


    Kamyu is within the imperial capital!


    He must be defeated as soon as he is found.


    The people working in the first quarantine station watched how the situation progressed, while listening to how the inside the city seemed from the watchman soldier on top of the triumphal arc. The noisy warning bells that rung gradually calmed down, its sound stretches out, and finally stopped ringing.


    The warning bells stopped! Would you like to return to the pharmacy?


    Lotte invited Cedrick.


    I agree. The guards of the imperial capital seem to have defeated the enemy, for the meantime, the danger has left


    From the first quarantine station, Lotte and Cedrick hurried to the Different World Pharmacy while passing by the imperial capitals guards walking in a hurry. Within the imperial capital, because of the divine arts battle, things have copsed, ground have subsided and ces here and there were wasted, and the citizen of the imperial capital showing their faces from the stores and their houses have fallen to confusion.


    When they finally reached the sixth quarantine stations direction, they saw the huge gates of the Different World Pharmacy in the corner of the imperial capitals ally, standing just like it did before.


    Thank goodness, it did not burn! Thank goodness


    Lotte leaped up and down to her delight. And as if to shower her with cold water, the warning bells started to ring again.


    Ehh?! Warning bells again!


    This is strange. Is there a new enemy? Lets enter the pharmacy until the warning bells stop, it is safe inside the pharmacy


    The shrubbery and the standing signboards and etc, were damaged by the wind. However, Lotte who carefully looked at the outside appearance of the pharmacy felt something strange.


    A-re, the east sides window is open


    It must have been opened because of the wind art users st of wind, it might not be locked properly


    Cedrick also looked up to that.


    Im sure, I locked it properly though. Ill go and close it


    When entered inside the pharmacy, winds were blowing in from the opened window, scattering the documents around. Cedrick and Lotte closed them one by one, and tidied up the scattered things.


    Lotte climbed up to the third floor. *Gatan*, there was a sound from the fourth floor.


    Ah, Falma-sama have returned!


    Lotte called out to Cedrick who is on the second floor.


    That is strange. The doors and the walls were locked, is it an animal?


    Lotte climbs the stairs in a hurry towards theboratory in the fourth floor while Cedrick was speaking.


    Wait, Lotte! I will check it! There might be a remaining ck gue squirrel!


    Cedrick who had a bad feeling followed Lotte. His knees have started to heal so he is now able to climb up without using the elevator, but he could not help but be slower than the young Lotte.


    Lotte who ran up full of the feelings of wanting to meet Falma and did not even catch her breath did not hear Cedricks voice. When she reached the fourth floor, the door of theboratory was open.


    Falma-sama!


    Lotte happily runs into theboratory.


    She hadpletely forgotten that she was told not to enter inside theboratory because there are many dangerous chemicals inside.


    A-reFalma-sam?


    Falma was not inside. *HyuuHyuu*, wind entered inside from the opened windows. The things inside theboratory were numerous chemicals and kinds of medicine, ss instruments, experimental tools that may be used for something, and a huge number of experimental notes.


    Was it just my imagination. But, I need to close here too, the important medicine might be damaged if dust enters theboratory


    Lotte stretched out, and tried to close and lock the opened window.


    However, before that, she heard the door closing behind her.


    Eh?


    She defenselessly turned around.


    Charlotte! Wait


    When Cedrick finally reached the fourth floor, there was Lotte who copsed on theboratorys floor.


    W-What happened!


    When Cedrick entered theboratory and puts his hand on Lottes shoulder, he felt a persons presence from behind.


    When he turned around, he felt an impact on his back from behind.


    ?!!!


    The hot blow directly hits Cedricks back. And following that, a hard something was plunged into his back.


    The invader was lurking behind the door. Cedrick tried to pull out the staff but his hands shook to pain, and soon after, his hands started to clearly cramp.


    ugghu!


    He could not breathe.

 Volume 2 - Ch 16.2

    At that time, Falma stayed above in the sky of the imperial capital. It is to grasppletely the numbers of patients infected by the pest.


    When he looked around the city with his Diagnosis Eye, he saw the blue light dwelling in the patients even prating through the buildings.


    They are infected, but it is all in thetent period. There are no symptoms yet.


    The pest bacteria, as long as the medication starts at an early stage, it is not so frightening.


    If medicine were given to everyone who is currently in thetent period within 1 to 2 days, with the Disease Destruction Sanctuary, and the quarantine stations functioning properly, the imperial capitals ck gue could be terminated within a month.


    The casualties tooalthough there might be some, it would be kept to a minimum.


    Ill end it before the outbreak starts!


    It should not be a pessimistic situation, theoretically. Although wishful thinking is also included.


    n?


    He felt a cold shiver that it was as if his body was pierced and uneasiness, and Falma looked towards the Different World Pharmacy.


    There are blue lights intense flickering on the fourth floor, one big and one small, and from there, a thin human shaped light had oozed out.


    It was just right now.


    Why, in the fourth floor?!


    He tried to hurry to that ce without leaving a second, and Falma became speechless.


    In the fourth floor, he saw that there is apletely ck shadow lurking.


    It was the oblivion abyss, as if all of the worlds shadows have condensed, it was as if, one would get sucked in by merely looking at it.


    What, what is that! Dark, shadow


    (Is that, my elder brother, little sister, and the priests call as, evil spirit?)


    Falma flinched. Lets say that evil spirit exists, but he does not have the knowledge to banish them.


    That is the work of priests.


    However, the blue light of the patient who has stopped moving in the pharmacys fourth floor turns to violet, and gradually turns to red. It was a dangerous sign that it would be toote in minutes.


    Why is it this fast! This isnt the pest. What?! Is it poison?!


    It is true that there are a lot of toxic substances required in the experimental synthesis process in the medical storage in the Different World Pharmacys fourth floor. But even so, he did not leave immediately potent poison in the case where there is an emergency or robbery. He ced the dangerous ones in the locked, sturdy medical storage.


    The evil spirit with a dark shadow, did it make the patient drink something in theboratory.


    Ridiculous, although he is still thinking of that, Falma asked the Diagnosis Eye. It is foolish to get close without thinking.


    Poisoning!


    There is a reaction from the shining blue light. As he thought, it looks like it was poison.


    Potassium Cyanide


    He doubted that it might be cyanide that has an immediate effect, but it was wrong. He started again.


    Inorganic Compound


    Wrong.


    Organic Compound


    Theres a reaction.


    Alkaloid


    ssifying it roughly from a huge cluster and narrowing it down, he will be able to find it for sure, but there are numerous varieties of poison. It is not something that he could guess by luck. Because he could see the blue light from a wound, he could guess that its a poison arrow, or the poison entered through the wound.


    Falma continued to narrow down the alkaloids. He is not making a random guess. He is mentioning the deadly poison of quick-acting alkaloids(naturally derived organicpounds), as far as his memory knows.


    On top of that, it is mostly from ones that could be easily obtained in this world.


    Aconitine


    The blue light became thinner. Aconitine is the toxicponent contained in Aconitum(wolfs bane). It is a deadly poison that Falmas father have used exclusively to patients as an antipyretic drug, but it is something that isnt in Falmasboratory.


    And, there is no detoxification method for this poison!


    Damn it!


    He cannot make an antidote. It is also toote for gastric irrigation. It is toote for symptomatic treatment.


    If so!


    He used the erase ability on his right hand.


    Erase Aconitine(C34H47NO11)!


    Erasing the deadly poison from faraway.


    It would be toote to heal the patient from the poison after defeating the evil spirit. The patient will die.


    Thats why after Falma had detoxified it from far away, he nned to exorcise(?) the evil spirit.


    The structure of Aconitine is veryplicated, but fortunately, unlike his creation ability, he only needs to chant the chemical form or the name/alias of thepound the erase ability will erase it. However, the blue light has yet to disappear. Although, it has be thinner.


    Theres still something!


    It looks like it was abination of several poisons.


    He mentions mainly those which are used in poison arrows. He was doubtful, but he still mentions one of them.


    Batrachotoxin


    The neurotoxin of the poison dart frog matched. This poison, it is not known in any medical book in this world.


    After all, there is no poison dart frog in this world.


    (Why, something like this. I cannot even think of it, and I cannot do something like that)


    Falma felt cold shivers. There is only a fine line between poison and medicine.


    If the correct knowledge of medicine is misused, it could be poison as well.


    The dark shadow, it might be an evil spirit that exceeds themon sense of the people of this world.


    Erase Batrachotoxin(C31H42N2O6)!!)


    The detoxification is finished. The human shaped blue light disappeared, and only its position was lighted. One of the two lives were saved although there is a small wound.


    Falma prepared himself, and this time for sure, he charged towards the evil spirit.


    He entered crashing through theboratorys open window on the fourth floor.


    The tall intruder who is d in ck robes and covered his face with a hood was there, turning away from Falma.


    I feel a bad presence. There is the presence of strong light


    After the man had turned around with awkward movements that were as if his body would creak, he opened his mouth. It was a viscous voice, one that would stick in ones ears. He is releasing an intense odor reminiscent of a rotting odor.


    Did youe to interfere? What a fool, all humans die


    The man asked a disturbing question. The man took off his hood with one hand.


    The skull of the man could be seen from the left half of his face, and his skin was rotting blue. It is a blue-haired man without a left eye.


    With that appearance, Falma guessed.


    Youdont tell me, are you Kamyu


    It is the person that Falmas father kept an eye on as the culprit. The one that the Holy Knights of Nedale Kingdom unquestionably believe as an evil spirit.


    Indeed, I am


    He pointed towards Falma with joy with his finger that was almost just a bone.


    He is not a human, he is a corpse in the shape of a person.


    Uuuu


    The ones who have copsed on theboratory floor are Cedrick and Lotte. Cedrick has copsed as if to cover Lotte. Groaning could be heard. Falma was able to detoxify from a far distance, but there is a small stab wound on his back.


    It is not a fatal injury. After Falma defeats the evil spirit, he can begin treatment for the two.


    What have you done


    The next instant when Falma looked at them, Kamyu is holding a vial with its lid open.


    Thisboratory is amazing. There are these many unknown toxinswhat is this? How interesting


    There is plenty of liquid and crystal in the vial. It is the powder of white phosphorus that Falma prepared for synthesis, it is something that Falma made with substance creation and stocked in the locked medical storage. White phosphorus ignites spontaneously when exposed to air, so it is immersed in water in the vial.


    I came to see the death disease diffusion experiment in the imperial capital, but in passing. Lets experiment what happens when to skin with this poison


    He held the bottle containing white phosphorus above the face of Lotte. If he tilts that vial, Lottes face would burn with the white phosphorus, and that me would not disappear. The burns of white phosphorus are deep and difficult to recover. She will have severe chemical burns.


    It seems that Kamyu wants to try it quickly to see how toxic it is.


    While, she is still alive.


    And that, Falma did not let him.


    Before Kamyus hand moves, Falma reaches out his hand towards the white phosphorus.


    Erase White Phosphorus (P4)


    The crystal disappeared. There are no more toxic things inside the vial.


    Do not hurt people with my reagent! That kind of thingpeople do not call it as experiment


    Using toxic chemicals, just to try the effects on people.


    That is only a horrible cruelty, sphemy against science and pharmacology.


    Its impossible. Only you


    Silently holding his anger, Falmas voice trembled.


    Lotte who raised her eyelids after her consciousness returned with the poison was removed from her body was startled with Falmas voice.


    I cannot heal you


    Lotte fell into the illusion that an unseen power manifested. The weight of the air increased. Lotte is unable to let out her voice, all that she could do was to swallow her breath in prostration. It was because it seemed like it was not Falmas voice. It was a kind of voice, that another person made. One with sadness and angerpressed to its limit.


    Lotte has never seen him angry.


    But evenso, right now, she clearly felt it. She clearly felt that he was angry.


    So whaubhu?!!


    After Falma had clenched his fist, he charged with godly speed. Faster than Kamyu swinging his poisoned knife, quicker than he thought, he smashed Kamyus face.


    Falma felt that he needed to eradicate this evil existence with all that he had.


    The evil spirit who was punched with a fist with concentrated divine powers without warning lost his face.


    Towards the evil spirit, Falmas left hand of erasure ability worked automatically.


    Kamyu was sent flying at high speed crashing through the window on the other side of theboratory on the fourth floor, and was blown out of the pharmacy with many rubble and debris.


    Falma flew using the Medicine Gods Staff and left himself to that eleration.


    In the sky, Falma focused strength on his fist once again.


    The instant Kamyu received that fist, this body was destroyed by the impact, making its shape warped.


    Falmas right hand pulsates and throbs.


    The torso was crushed.


    The body became, hot, acquiring heat, and with that fist, another strike.


    He crushed him with his fist. The rotten meat became fragile and scattered, became ash, and disappear wrapped by white purification light.


    Disappear!


    Falma brandishes the Medicine Gods Staff which was d with a shock wave high to the sky, and pierces the air at once.


    The evil spirit was unable to attempt any resistance, the essence of its existence was prated, rupturing thoroughly from the inside.


    It was skewered while it fell down, impaling to the ground.


    Ughaahiii!


    The ground gave in to the Falmas divine powers making waves, and finally, it could not bear the pressure, making a giant crater in an instant.


    The Medicine Gods Staff shines sharply and the rainbow colored ultra-high temperature mepletely enveloped Kamyu.


    Even the bedrock in the alley was burned bright red.


    this is death, huh


    While being enveloped with mes, Kamyu said hisst words.


    That was something that the man possessed by an evil spirit, waited for so long.


    The shadow inside Kamyu was pierced by the Medicine Gods Staff and struggled for some time, but gradually disappeared.


    Together with the disappearance of the ck mass, the mans body breaks apart and became ashes, and scatters in the wind.


    Stupidbastard


    After sending him away, Falma felt emptiness.


    Kamyus brains and talents far exceeded the standard of this world. If those knowledge, information, and discoveries were used, he wondered how many people might have been healed.


    He should have be a pharmacist whose name is written in history.


    However, he did not.


    He was too wicked. And that wicked heart, a more wicked existence was called upon.


    The townspeople who have evacuated to the stores when the warning bells rung again fearfully opened the windows due to the loud sound earthquake-like impact that they felt very near, and saw a child whose face cannot be seen, hidden by his hood, holding a transparent staff, standing alone in the middle of the crater.


    W-What the heck just happened?


    There was no one who determined the truth.


    The suns rays of light peeked between the clouds, and the sky became clear. The kind and warm wind, it flows down from the heavens as if to heal the San Flueve imperial capital.


    Falma-sama


    While enduring the pain from her stabbed back, Lotte went down the stairs of the pharmacy. One step at a time, as if to ascertain her gait, she approached Falma. *Pota*, *Pota*, the bloodstains followed her steps.


    Falma had his head drooping.


    And, Lotte looked up to him with her eyes almost overflowing with tears, and embraced him.


    Wee back


    No more words were needed right now.

 Volume 2 - Ch 17.1

    After Kamyu had been sent away, a huge crater was opened on the main road of the imperial capital in front of the different world pharmacy.


    Townspeople gathered and looked from afar to see what has happened, but they did not know the identity of the child wearing a hooded robe with a nce, and there was no one who called out to him as well.


    Move, move, it is dangerous!


    Get out within the restricted lines!


    The priests from the imperial capitals diocese made out a restricted line and chased away the crowd.


    Thank you very much, Medicine God-sama. We would have not been a match for it


    Salomon who came first bowed his head deeply towards Falma. Falma is embracing Lotte who was wounded. Lotte seemed to have been relieved and slept while standing.


    Evil spirits, they existed huh


    (Priests, they regrly fought against this kind of things huh)


    Falma thought whether he took away Kamyus life. No, Kamyu was probably dead a long time ago, at the least, he was not alive, Falma convinced himself.


    You did not know


    Taking care of evil spirits is a daily routine, Salomon added.


    Recently, thanks to Medicine God-samas sanctuary, we have been having so much leisure(TL: sanctuary as a holy field)


    I did not know. I have never seen one after all


    Falma had an understanding about their, the priests jobs.


    Yes, that should be the case. There is no way that minor evil spirits would get close to Medicine God-sama. However, it was a great evil spirit that was not afraid of the sanctuary


    If possessed by that, the imperial capital might be in ruins


    The Nedale Kingdom is worrying


    While the priests scattered holy water to purify the insides of the crater, they said their gratitude to Falma. Measures are probably needed even after exorcising evil spirits.


    What a strong strength it was


    About this hole huh, I went too far. I am sorry


    When Falma bowed his head, the priests waved their hands to appeal that they did not mean it like that. They could only chase away evil spirits from the person it possesses, and the evil spirit that escaped would enter a different human.


    It looks like they wanted to say that the divine powers that couldpletely eliminate it was very strong, that it is not a work of a human.


    Well, well, this evil spirit shall not resurrect anymore


    While looking at the shadow that was pierced to the ground, Salomon was amazed that the Medicine Gods Staff could even do such thing. In there, not even Kamyus corpse remained.


    Uhm, can you carry this girl to the second floor of the pharmacy. Also, there is a person who has copsed on the fourth floor so please carry him as well


    With Falmas physique, it is difficult to carry Lotte who waspletely unconscious and Cedrick who is on the fourth floor.


    Yes! It is an honor, Medicine God-sama


    The priests lined up and answered Falma with their maximum loyalty.


    Please stop it, that way of calling me


    Feeling difficulty on how to treat the situation, Falma wore his hood deeply, minding the surrounding eyes.


    Ah!


    Lotte who had her back bare raised a short voice. While smiling, she is hiding her front with the apron she took off. This is the treatment room in pharmacys second floor with curtains closed, and the ce where priests carried them to.


    I treated it with local anesthesia after all


    Falma made Lotte drink painkiller and treated her by applying local anesthesia. Lotte closed her eyes and did not move. Cedrick is sitting on the bed at their side.


    How is it, Cedrick?


    I do not feel pain at all


    Well then, the two of you, lie on your stomach. Ill wash your wounds. Your wounds got a little dirty after all


    Without resting, Falma treated the two in the treatment room on the second floor of the pharmacy with them lying on their face.


    What happened. We, after getting stabbed from the back, I lost my consciousness


    Cedrick did not understand why he copsed.


    The two of you were stabbed with a poisoned knife with lethal poison. I think that you lost your consciousness because of that


    (Two lethal poisons, it was atrocious. Thank goodness that their wounds were not deep)


    Falma started to get frightened now.


    He desperately detoxified them, butif he was not able to specify the type of poison,it was a poison that they would have died from within minutes. It was the proof that Kamyu had researched poisons.


    Oh, was that so


    Hearing what happened, Cedrick had a pale face,thanking that he survived.


    You saved us


    Lotte stared at Falma intently with a gaze of gratitude.


    But, Im sorry, I, I was told to not enter the fourth floor, but there were sounds so Ipletely thought that Falma-sama have returned, soIm sorry for not protecting the instructions!


    Lotte who was reflecting on her careless action dropped her shoulders and seriously reflected.


    I also tried to stop her, but I did not make it in time. Despite of being a divine arts user, I was attacked by surprised and could not even hold my staff


    How ipetent, Cedrick said frustratingly.


    The two of you, Im sorry for letting you be in such danger


    That is not something that you must speak. I am very sorry too, Falma-sama


    I am also responsible for it, so Ill thoroughly manage the reagents on the fourth floor. The two of you should focus on recovering


    Thank goodness that I have the ability of erasure, Falma thought deeply. If I only had the ability of creation, the two might have already died. Also, it was a problem that there were toxic substances in theboratory of the Different World Pharmacy inside the town. Next time, other than times when I would have experiments, I should leave theboratory after erasing the toxic reagents, Falma engraved in his mind.


    Ellen who has returned to the imperial capital from Marseille by making her horse run even through the night hurried to the pharmacy.


    When Ellen hurried to the second floor, Lotte and Cedrick were lying on the bed, and Falma is watching their condition.


    Falma-kun, youre alive! Thank goodness that youre alrightthis, what happened to Lotte-chan and Cedrick?


    They were stabbed by a knife. I think that their life is in no danger. What about the port of Marseille?


    Ahh, if its about that, it already ended


    Ellen quarantined the ships that had the San Flueve Market as a destination, andpletely blocked the gue from the entrance of the sea. Adam who was acting as the agent of the Lord restricted the port of Marseille to only the domestic ships. Furthermore, her disciples were staying in the port so that they could do a quarantine anytime in the case where a ship enters the port out of the schedule.


    Thank you, Ellen. Its because its Ellen, that I thought that I could leave that ce to her


    Even if he have so many abilities, Falma cannot do everything by himself. Falma needs an existence who understands him, and a skilled pharmacist that he could trust. Ellen has both, that is why Falma is grateful towards Ellen.


    Uun. It is nothing much. I mean, what was that crater in front of the shop? Did Falma-kun?


    The priests who crowded in front of the shop was saying that a huge divine powers spring was created when the great evil spirit was eradicated.


    I could only remember hitting him. Theres such a huge hole, its dangerous for the passers-by right, I should also pay repair expenses too


    Enraged, Falma could not remember mostly what he did to Kamyu.


    Come to think of it, were there no one injured by the rubbles. I also destroyed other stores with the divine powers, I should reimburse them


    Towards Falma who started to worry about the surrounding residents even though his own life was in danger, Ellen was,


    You, youre really thoughtful of other people. Although you are not thoughtful to yourself


    She had her hats off. And, she once again respected this boy.


    It still, hasnt ended


    Falma regained himself so that he would not ease up.


    Let me help too


    Falma and Ellen carefully washed Lotte and Cedricks wounds, and the two of them spread white vaseline on their wounds, and stered a clean piece of film.


    Would it really heal with this? Isnt there something more, like, shouldnt we put clean cloth or bandage it?


    Isnt there a more treatment-like thing?, Ellen had an unsatisfied face.


    Ill say basic treatment to wounds that are not that deep after hemostasis.


    Number 1. Do not use disinfectants and do not make the wounds dry. Because it will only kill the cells in the wound.


    Number 2. Wash the wounds with clean water, thoroughly remove foreign substances. Because that will reduce the number of bacteria in the wound.


    Number 3. Do not put a cloth on the wound and absorb the body fluids. The body fluids contain substances that are healing the wound and immune cells so do not remove it unnecessarily.


    Number 4. Keep the wound moist so that the immune cells can act so that there would be no scabs


    Falma folded his fingers one by one, narrowed the points and told it to Ellen.


    Ellen was stunned with her sses shifting.


    Its not like this way of treatment must be used at all times. You need to look at the condition whether it is infected or not


    The things that you are saying, I can hear them with absurdity. That was like, an unskilled doctor. They do not do anything to the wounds, and sear them with hot iron you know?


    I can understand if the wounds were shallow, but if its like that, when the wounds are deep, the bacteria will be trapped inside the wound. Also, the burns would increase, you dont need to do it unless it is a massive bleeding


    I see


    Ellen, she got convinced although indistinct. It is true that in this world, that even if the wounds were burned or not, the wounds would suppurate, and sepsis would always ur.


    In some cases, some lose their lives because of their wounds.


    But, wouldnt it not heal if there was no scab


    She still had some doubts.


    In fact, it is being thought that the wounds had healed when scabs were made properly.


    The scabs, its true that they would protect the wounds from the bacteria, and they would also stop bleeding, but it is not an indicator whether the wounds have healed. Rather, it would heal slower if it is there


    Finding that out, was also recently even in Earths Medicine.


    If the wounds are washed and the body fluidsing out from the wounds were not removed, as long as it is moist and protected, the wounds would heal


    This is called as moist wound treatment, it is a 21st-century method of treatment.


    For once in Earth, the wounds would only be disinfected and dried until Falmas era in his past life, but rather than killing the bacteria, it would only kill many cells of the wound.


    In most cases, disinfectants are not necessary for wounds.


    It is not to say that disinfectants arepletely not necessary for wounds, but it is used in limited cases such as when bacteria entered a wound inrge quantities or preventive disinfection.


    It does not apply in this case.


    To prevent the secondary infections, maybe I should let them take the ck gues medicine


    Falma took out the sparfloxacin which has been prepared as a medicine for the ck gue from his medical bag.


    The ck gues medicine, it also helps to prevent infection of stab wounds?!


    Un, this medicine has a broad antimicrobial spectrum so you can also use it to prevent secondary infections of trauma


    That knowledge, where in the world does ite from


    Is it because youre a Medicine God after all?


    Ellen as asked the question that she had told many times.


    Its probably my past lifes knowledge. Also, Im not a Medicine God or something


    However, Falma is starting to lose confidence to saying so. But even so, Falma felt that if he admits that he is not human, his heart might change into that of an inhuman so he wanted to continue to reject.


    In both this life and his past life, he is thinking of the wounded and sick people that need him.


    You, youre really an uncertain existence huh


    To Ellens words that almost started to be standardized,


    Im also uncertain


    Falma replied just as usual. After having their treatments finished, Lotte and Cedrick fell asleep.

 Volume 2 - Ch 17.2

    At that day, Falma created an additional sparfloxacin for seven thousand people.


    Whether it is because he used his powers too much or it is because his fatigue reached its peak, and for one hour after Falma activated his substance creation, he lost consciousness and would not wake up all.


    But when Ellen was worried about him like He might not wake up anymore, Falma suddenly woke up, and instructed the pharmacists of the dispensing pharmacy guild and the merchants selling by weight who probably have free time to measure the amount and divide it.


    He, we are not medicine peddlers, but is it okay


    Please, it would be of great help


    To help the child store owner, even the paper craftsmen who fold medicine envelopes gathered to volunteer.


    We need to finish distributing it today


    Heres the counting of the medicine that was made!


    The imperial capitals fate, it is all up to this medicine


    Bastards, dont pilfer the medicine! Ill kill yall thieves


    From the pharmacists of the dispensing pharmacy guild, MEDIQUE and 8020s pharmacists, the free distribution of the new medicine to the residents have started. The Different World Pharmacy and the affiliated pharmacy employees and pharmacists created a strategy headquarters for the eradication of the ck gue, ying a central role in the Empire.


    The imperial capital is divided into Clean District, Infected District, and Severely Infected District and the Severely Infected District had entry restrictions.


    Most of the people who had taken the medicine did not get infected but even if they did, it ended mildly.


    Even most of the infected merchants of the Nedale Kingdom were saved due to the eager treatment.


    Of course, the pharmacists of the pharmacy guild were also given free medicine. And it is the work of the dispensing pharmacy guild to bring those to them.


    I do not want to say this but, I do not want to give them


    Pierre told his true feelings. He had his store destroyed and showered with jeers.


    I understand Pierre-sans feelings, but if we dont give everyone, that will be a source of infection


    Falma had so many obstructions from the pharmacy guild, but he thoroughly separated emotions from reasons.


    Its really like that so, it cant be helped


    Ellen also agreed while letting out a sigh.


    However, it is the same for the pharmacy guild, they did not want to take it. The pharmacists who looked down at Falma or the pharmacists who do not want to take medicine from the child store owner. That was really miserable.


    Drink this. Theres enough for your family


    Pierre came to the store of the pharmacist who has once scoffed at him and gave them the medicine bag. He did it while suppressing the urge to throw it.


    Something like that, I dont need! Ill heal it with this stores medicine!


    However, even if the pharmacist refuses, the new medicines effect was already certain.


    After all, it worked on the merchants from the Nedale Kingdom who was almost dead.


    Do you really think, theres medicine in this store that is effective to the ck gue?


    Pierre looked around the dirty store and asked him silently.


    Ku!


    Which is it


    Pierre waited patiently but the answer did note.


    If you understand, drink it. Its not only your problem. Dont kill off even your family


    The pharmacist of the pharmacy guild was red up to his ears. Is it from embarrassment, or is it from anger, it could be taken from both.


    Live


    Pierre ced down the medicine and left the store without waiting for a reply.


    The pharmacist took the medicine bag with guilt.


    The reconnaissance that the Empress sent to the Nedale Kingdom has returned.


    ording to their information, the ck gue has yet to spread in the Nedale Kingdom.


    Because with the extermination of Kamyu, the enemy forces have disappeared, so the superpower, San Flueve Empire that has the greatest military, politics, and economy in the world, informed the nearby countries the temporary upation of the Nedale Kingdom to rebuild its state administration. The Empress sent 5000 from the Imperial Army to the Nedale Kingdom. The nobles and royalties were killed by Kamyus poisoning and officials and military personnel were suffering due to unknown poison. Kamyu has thrown poison into the wells of government-rted facilities. And with that, the administrative agency copsed, the logistics were interrupted, and the function of the country was paralyzed.


    With the Empresss order, the Imperial Army entered and upied the Nedale Kingdom, creating a temporary government, and started restoring the government from awless situation.


    The exhausted Nedale Kingdom citizens weed the upation of the protectorate, the Imperial Army. There are also extremists who wished that they would be annexed by the Empire, but the Empire did not wish for that. It is because the Nedale Kingdom is important as a trading partner with many colonies that has many specialties.


    After a while, there were rumors that the Empress sent a skilled pharmacist with the Imperial Army.


    What kind of treatment would be done, where is that pharmacist, the ones who were addicted to drugs had high expectations, but from that day, drug addicts have disappeared from the Nedale Kingdom.


    This is strange, many of them doubted, but they thought that good luck was brought upon them by the Imperial Army.


    Going around the Nedale Kingdom and the Empire, going to many ces, Falma had spent a very busy daily life.


    And on a certain day, the pharmacists of the pharmacy guild who have evaded the threat of the ck gue gathered in front of the Different World Pharmacy. And even their apprentices, they came with a depressed face.


    The gate guard knight called Falma who was inside the store. What did theye in such a busy time, did theye for some harassment again, Falma went out of the store while thinking of that.


    What is it?


    Please let ushelp


    With a voice that was almost unheard, they said to Falma.


    Eh? What?


    Please let us help!


    I understood. Well then, please take care from now on. We need a hand


    A-Ahh. Well do anything


    They followed Falmas instructions and started to help decontaminate the town.


    The stores affiliated with the pharmacy guild who did not do anything for those infected by the ck gue have received criticism and boycott from the citizen of the Imperial Capital, and went bankrupt. The Guild Master Belon and the executives refused use of the medicine that Falma distributed, and tested all kinds of conventional herbs, but only created miserable ends due to the pest sepsis starting from those who were isted.


    However, Falma had given their families medicine before they were isted.


    Their families who have survived gave grief.


    Professor Caspers experiment of taking out useful antibiotics from actinomycetes, with the addition of Falmas instructions, it steadily progressed in the hands of many researchers. They found the antibiotic streptomycin and other antibiotic-producing bacteria and are currently separating and culturing them.


    Professor Casper who was once a window-side professor but leading the entire project now,


    When the next ck guees, I should make the San Flueve Empires medicine academy able to distribute medicine


    Said with confidence.


    Well then, the San Flueve Market that has been thought to be spoiled.


    It is the big event where merchants from the all over the world would gather, and also the time for the imperial capitalsmerce and industry traders.


    It will be a problem of the countrys trust if we do not start it although the merchants have already gathered, with that opinion of the Empress, after a thorough quarantine was done, it was held although in a small scale, starting from the approved merchandise.


    Merchants who spread their tents and raise huge voices in front of their goods. The traffic of the buyers and customers who checked their goods. Voices shouting injustice. The sounds ofrge amount of coins being traded. Abacus that are being used. Suffocating smell of spices. Fights that had started here and there. People gathering in pubs.


    Slowly but surely, the imperial capital started to recover its original vigor.


    Starting today, the Different World Pharmacy will resume business


    The Different World Pharmacy, it resumed business after a whole month.


    We closed too much huh. Its true that it was not the time for that, but. Everybody, I just hope they havent forgotten about this pharmacy


    Ellen who wore her crisp white coat seemed happy.


    Un, I just wish we wont have to take a temporary closure in the future


    Falma really wished. The pharmacy doing its business means that the imperial capital is at peace.


    As to follow the main stores resume of the business, the stores who are affiliated with the dispensing pharmacy guild also resumed business one next to the other. The stores affiliated with the dispensing pharmacy guild started selling small amounts to foreign pharmacists and brokers.


    Ah, Admiral John


    Wearing a dirty shirt, old man John showed his face casually. He is the first in line.


    Can you stop it with the admiral


    I have been in your care at that time


    Today too, old man John bought the sailors candy and came to drink the created water.


    Everyone, it has been a while!


    Lotte-chan, I wanted to meet you


    Cedrick you, I have heard that you were stabbed, are you alright


    The regrs also returned.


    Haha, it is all thanks to everyone. Thesebones although they are old, I am still far from dying!


    Lotte and Cedricks wounds already healed and busied themselves in the store front.


    The Head Priest also, he came to the pharmacy every day as if it was his work.


    The peaceful and busy days have returned.


    And after two months, there were no more casualties of the pest appeared in the San Flueve imperial capital.


    With that, the Empress dered the end of the ck gue, and the San Flueve Empire, it gained the great achievement of exterminating the ck gue, the worst gue in the history, the first in this world to exterminate it with minimal casualties with the creation of the ck gues medicine.


    And in the shadows of that glory, there was the activity of a single boy.


    The small saviors identity that flew down from the sky to the main road of the imperial capital that day, and the identity of the shadowless store owner of the Different World Pharmacy holding the Medicine Gods Staff, no one still knows up today.


    Falma, Her Highness is considering rewards for you again, which territory do you want next?


    With the Empresss instigation, Noah came to the pharmacy. It looks like they already decided to directly ask Falma what he wants.


    I dont need any more territories, Father and I cannot take care of it


    In the first ce, the House of de Mdicis has a vast territory. Having more than this is too much and its management would be sloppy, so I dont need it, Bruno said unlike a noble must be.


    Then, money huh


    The Different World Pharmacy has abundant funds. Even without doing anything, its sales would go up, and the contributions would gather to the House of de Mdicis from ces.


    I dont need money


    How boring. Then, lets forget about work. Where do you want to go if you have a vacation? Im nning on hawking in the next vacation, you want to go too?


    I want to go leisurely enter hot springs


    Falma said with emotion.


    I see, you want a public bathhouse, there


    Ah!!


    Idiot, idiot! Youre still naive, idiot!


    He was caught in the induction interrogation. Noah said that again to the Empress, and it was decided that grand public bathhouses would be built in five ces in the imperial capital. It probably says, Well be troubled if you go to foreign countries to find hot springs.


    Well, whatever, thermaes for the cleanliness and healing of the citizen of the imperial capitalits good for preventions of infectious diseases too


    Im excited about the thermae! Its embarrassing to be naked in front of everyone though. Ah! Is it alright ifmoners enter it. I wonder if there is a thermae for citizens too, it is alright even if its just on the corne


    Lotte got excited to the thermae that she had not seen yet and started dreaming of it.


    Ill ask Her Highness, to make it that bothmoners and nobles could enter


    Yay!


    Falma had more things to look forward to.


    That is, for a Japanese who love hot springs such as himself, it was a happier reward than territories or money.


    In the Esthark Vige, the unveiling ceremony of a golden statue of the boy God that they do not know its origin is have started. It is the monument of the end of the ck gue.


    It was said that Falma has seen thatter on and became very embarrassed.

 Volume 3 - Ch 1.1

    Two weeks after the Empress dered the end of the ck gue.


    Although confusion and the aftermath of the gue still remain in the imperial capital, the San Flueve Market was also held with an extended schedule of the original n, and the scene of their daily lives is returning.


    By the way, the wind hole that Falma opened during the fight against Kamyu on the fourth floor of the Different World Pharmacy was closed up in a week by many craftsmen. The crater that Falma made in front of the pharmacy was also fixed by earth divine arts users sent by the Empress using her authority. The civilian houses and stores that were copsed by the wind divine arts of Nedale Kingdoms Holy Knights were being reconstructed at a rapid pace using the Empires funds to hire many craftsmen and purchase materials.


    And in a certain days afternoon in a good weather.


    Falma is walking at the Market together with Lotte and Ellen. The marketce is full of liveliness, and there are huge battles to pull in customers being held. The three have already finished their lunch, buying spicy roasted chicken and rare kind of roasted sweet potatoes. Ellen stopped in front of a medicinal nt stores tent.


    Ah, take a look. There it is! Its also here this year, Navars herbs, its difficult to get it you know


    Ellen saw a rare herb and immediately bought it. For pharmacists, this Market where valuable herbs, potions, and spices from all over the world gathers once a year is a chance to buy things easily without the need to go so far to get raw materials.


    And, there is a pink-haired beautiful girl who stopped in front of the cakeshops stall and would not leave. She is talking to the store owner as if she was having an enormous deal.


    I will ask once again. What vor was this cake again?


    She is choosing very carefully between the good-looking baked goods before her.


    There is orange and nuts


    Im also curious about that raisin cake. Well then, Ill buy two for each one!


    Lotte is carefully buying treats using the sry she got from working at the Different World Pharmacy. And that, she would bring it to her mother and her fellow servants in the House of de Mdicis, so she is buying a lot of those ever since the San Flueve Market started. Falma thought that she was like a middleman.


    Well then, Ill go and take a look around there


    Falma was also shopping while the girls enjoyed shopping.


    I have a gift


    To give thanks to the people who did their best during the ck gue turmoil this time, Falma has bought each of them presents. Hearing his words, Lotte straightened her back and widened her eyes. Falma gave the girls one bag each.


    The two of you, thank you for always supporting me. This, its full of my gratitude


    A person cannot tell their feelings of gratefulness if they do not put it into words. Thats why, Falma always reminds himself to always say the words thank you. Although surprised by the sudden event, the two opened the pretty bag.


    Ellen was given a perfume popr between nobles and royalties. Lotte was given a cute apron with detailed embroidery. By the way, Cedrick who stayed in the store was given an expensive staff with a chic design.


    Thank you, Falma-kun. This perfume, its the one Im interested with. How did you know I liked it?


    It seemed like its popr, so I thought Ellen might like it


    Ellen enjoyed the smell with a mesmerized expression after she applied on her wrist. Ellen is weak to clear sweet smell. Falma has finished researching that.


    Oh really, Falma-kun has thoughtfulness unimaginable from a child sometimes


    (Well, Im not a kid after all)


    To think that you can casually give presents to women, I wonder how it will be in the future. Dont get into any scandals okay


    But although Ellen said that, her expression is drunk with joy.


    Falma does not think he could do that casually, but for him who has traveled all over the world for academic meetings, conferences, research and etc in his previous life, he did not forget to give gifts for souvenirs to hisboratory staff. It is well said that presents are better if the likes from everyday life are researched, and he is a person who does not neglect to have efforts for such human rtionships. He had a good reputation with them saying Yakutani-sensei has a great sense when ites to presents.


    Aprons with such beautiful flower embroidery,moners dont wear them you know!


    Lotte was very happy and could not help but take a peek at the apron in the bag and let out a sigh. It looks like it is rare for masters to buy things with embroidery for their servants.


    Does Falma-kun want anything? Let us return the favor to too?


    Ellen started worrying about whats good in return.


    I want to give back something too!


    Lotte also raised her hand after she took a peek at her wallet and showed her tongue. It looks like she used too much from buying treats.


    Im fine. I already bought what I want. Spices, and also good quality paper


    Falma said that and peeked inside the bag that is full of his trophy.


    Ara, its true. You bought a lot


    Falma found a good quality paper in the marketce, so he immediately bought a lot of it. He purchased the paper to use it as a note for his experiments or to write books. He searched for a high-quality paper that canst for hundreds of years.


    Even so, Falma-kun and spices? Are you nning on using it to make a new medicine? Youre always medicine, medicine, medicine! Youre really Falma like your name, youre really diligent huh


    Ellen was impressed as such, so Falma looked down with some kind of guilt.


    (No, it is not for medicine, it is for curry)


    Although, he was not able to say that. He was able to obtain spices like cumin, turmeric from the from the Markets spice stall, so he was nning to secretly curry inside hisboratory in the fourth floor. It looks like although they have the spices, curry does not exist in this world. It is a very sad Japanese characteristic that they would think of curry when ites to spices.


    (There might be amotion due to its smell. Rice doesnt exist in this world, so I should bake some naan using flour)


    Falma must think of the timing of when he would make it, but it is a secret n that he is looking forward to. By the way, in his past life, although his main meals are nutritional supplementary food, because there are some things inmon when ites to experiment and cooking, his cooking skills are in a uselessly high-level although he did not practice a lot.


    (Its going to smell, so its probably impossible to make it a secret. I should hold a curry party and make everyone taste it)


    Falma thought of hosting a curry party.


    After lunch time had ended, the three returned to the pharmacy, and gave his present to Cedrick who stayed with the reasonI do not have anything that I want to buy in the Market. It is an excellent staff with two amber crystals.


    Cedrick-san, thanks always. This, its just a bit of my feelings


    Houthis is! Is it alright? I know just by seeing it, it is a very expensive, high-performance staff. Its wood ispletely made out of Dowall Tree, and the crystal is Fulgan Yellow, its design is elegant as well. It should raise the power of the holder by 150%


    The words that a divine staff stores storeowner would tell came out from Cedricks mouth as fast as a machine gun. He showed an aspect of being a staff-maniac just like Ellen. Falma did not know about it that much, so he just ced an order to the store owner sayingthe one which is most durable and highest performance.


    I-It is good that you like it


    Cedricks staff is not only for divine arts, but it also an auxiliary for walking. His staff is old and has a somewhatcking handle, so he was very happy.


    Yes, I liked it very much. I must persevere practicing my divine arts with this


    Cedrick who havepletely supported the maintenance of soil and fertilization of the House of de Mdiciss herb garden seems to be not good in attack-type divine arts. But even so, he said that he will train from now on since he received a staff with a smile.

 Volume 3 - Ch 1.2

    During the pharmacys afternoon business, Brunos pharmacist disciple came to the pharmacy with a horse.


    Falma-sama. Can you pleasee to the Medicine Academy in the evening today? The president is calling you


    Father is? Is it toote to hear about it after we went home?


    Although Falmas father always returns homete, during the morning, he would always tell Falma his schedule. But since it is todays today, Falma must have been called for a sudden matter that was decided today.


    Eleonora-sama as well


    Me too? No way


    Eleanora who was listening to their conversation as if she had nothing to do with it suddenly became serious and nervous. The call from her immediate master seems to be scary for a first-ss pharmacist as well.


    I was already nning on taking a look at the progress of Professor Caspers fungus research, so I am going to the academy either way


    Falma opened his schedule book and checked his schedule. Falmas schedule ispletely full. The business in the pharmacy, the cooperation to Professor Caspers experiment, confirmation of the construction process of the pharmaceutical factory in Marseille, etc. Falmas schedule book ispletely full. There are also business trips to the Nedale Kingdom. After that, there are also writing medicinal textbooks.


    Thank goodness


    The disciple seemed to be relieved.


    Was a new kind of disease was found or something?


    Falma asked what he needs to know to prepare his medicine.


    There is no need to bring anything


    Is that so?


    Then, what is it about?, Falma and Ellen could only tilt their heads.


    In the evening, Falma and Ellen closed the pharmacy early and went to the San Flueve Empire Medicine Academy riding a horse.


    In there,


    There are currently only 4 Royal Court Apothecaries that the Empire recognizes (pharmacists that can give royalties and nobles including the Emperor medical examinations) including Falma. There are only 21 First ss and Second ss Apothecaries who can give royalties and nobles medical examinations. There are only so few of them. The Empires passing standard to be a high-ss apothecary is very strict, and the pharmacist school graduates would either apply for the high-ss apothecary exam while practicing without a license, or be a high-ss apothecary with the lenient standard of other countries.


    Ellen, President Brunos number one disciple, who have both talents in pharmacy and divine arts and passed the first-ss apothecary examination with just the age of 15 for being too excellent, currently does not have direct rtions with the academy. She is the type who would rather look at patients rather staying in aboratory, so she does not specialize on experiments, but specializes in giving nobles medical examinations before. Although right now, she received an order from Bruno, spending all of her time on the Different World Pharmacy.


    There are medicinal herb gardens, research building, lecture building, divine arts experiments building, cafeteria, student dormitory, etcthat are built inside the Academys premises. Falma and Ellen got off their horse, and passed through the beautifully arranged courtyard that has arge fountain that was making a cooling sound. The pharmacy students that know about Ellen followed behind her as if they were chasing after their idols. There were also students who left after receiving a handshake.


    Ellens, popr huh


    Apparently, Ellen seems to have a fan club when she was still studying.


    Its already 2 years since Ive graduated though. I wonder how they knew about it? But even so, alma mater, how nostalgic


    It looks like Ellen feels nostalgic about her alma mater that had not visited for a long time.


    We have been waiting. Master de Mdicis, Miss Bonnefoi


    The disciple guided the two of them to therge conference room of the research building. Falma had some doubts about why thy were brought there, not the Presidents Office.


    Therge conferences room is a huge room that has a high ceiling and has a chandelier hanging. Manydies and gentlemen were present. Each of them is huge figures of the aristocracy.


    It looks like the faculty meeting will begin from now


    Ellen checked inside through the gaps of the door. They were all professors that she knows of.


    Should wee again after the meeting ends? We will be on the way too


    Falma asked the disciple. If the meeting is about to start, it would feel bad to call out Bruno for private matters. Since Bruno is the president, he also in charge of the faculty meeting. Professor Casper is within them as well, I should wander around the campus for a while. It was when he thought of that.


    No, please enter inside. Everyone is waiting for Falma-sama and Eleanore-sama


    Ehh? Is it alright?


    Hey, I havent heard about this?!


    Please do not hold back. Master de Mdicis and Miss Bonnefoi have arrived!


    After the disciple had dered with a loud voice, the conference rooms door was quickly opened. Gazes from the conference room gathered at once.


    Come in


    Eh, yes


    Falma and Ellen helplessly appeared in front of the faculty.


    You finally came


    Brunos voice sounded. The ones seated in the long arching conference table are the first-ss professors and lecturers of the Imperial Medicine Academy. And the President, Bruno, is seated in the innermost seat.


    Please excuse us during your meeting


    Falma and Ellen greeted in front of the faculty.


    Actually


    Bruno seemed reluctant to speak.


    President


    The unique-looking Vice President who has a wealthy belly and exploded white hair stood up.


    We understand that this is very difficult to say as a father to his son, so I shall


    Falma prepared himself, thinking of what the Vice President who does not seem to have anything to with it all would tell him.


    We should get straight to the point. The two of you who have arrived. It has been decided that our academy shall establish aprehensive medicine department next year. We would like to ask Master Falma to teach there as the chief professor


    Yes?


    Falma almost ceased of thinking because all of his expectations were off the mark.


    Frankly speaking, we are asking, would you like to be a professor of the Empires Medicine Academy


    Another professor dered.


    And we would like to ask Miss Bonnefoi to support Master who have many things to do. We will have you named as a lecturer as well


    Ellen also opened her mouth petrified.


    Many gazes full of expectations were showered down towards the two of them, and Falma thought deeply of what to do.


    I have not attended the academy, and a child who has yet to have hising of age. I believe that I cannot meet up with your expectations


    Falma thought that it was not an effective excuse. However, he is not thinking of affiliating himself to the academy and be a teacher right away.


    We know very well that you are still young. However, it can be said naturally in consideration of your glorious achievement. Within just this one year, you have invented the thing called the microscope, developed a special medicine for the white gue, not only that, you have stopped the ck gue epidemic by inventing a new medicine. Those achievements that cured incurable illnesses one next to the other must be greatly admired


    It is not known that the Empress was suffering from the white gue, but it seemed that it was rumored that it is Falma who made that cure.


    When the Vice President started to apud by himself while saingMarvelous!, the other faculty members followed him. It was a round of apuse. Bruno coughed and seemed to look at them that was slightly distasteful eyes.


    This not a feat that an ordinary man can achieve. You are a prodigy


    To think that medicine would be made out of my research that could only be described as a hobby, no one would believe it


    Professor Casper also dered excitedly. It is true, Falma had directly guided Professor Caspers research.


    No, uhm


    Praises that could only be prefixed by huge. Falma who is not used to being seriously praised other than simple tteries slowly began to shrink. Up until now, Falma has misled the truth by treating the new medicines that he introduced as his Fathers work, but his Father might have finally revealed it to the professors.


    (Thisit would be difficult to move with this


    Falma felt very frustrated. And instead, it could be said that Falmas Father who havepletely supported Falma by making him free to take actions, has finally used his social standing of having a noble title and the academys president, to enclose Falma.


    Everyone belonging to the faculty here can proudly say that we have the best brains in the country, however, although this is pathetic to say, we cannot beat your knowledge and new medicinal technologies


    The Vice President told a patheticment. However, there was no one who was dissatisfied to those words.


    They all agreed, speaking out that it was exactly true.


    Although we know that this is selfish, but we want to learn your knowledge as the Academy. Things like you being an 11-year-old, or have yet toe of age; we do not intend to argue about those non-academic problems


    Falmas Father probably told earlier in the meeting that Falma is possessed by a Medicine God or something. Or maybe, the rumors or other things had spread to much, that it cannot be concealed that Falma is inhuman anymore.


    And everyone right now, they have confirmed with their eyes that Falma does not have a shadow. He cannot make up excuses.


    Falma has nowhere left to escape. However, the reason why they do not ask FalmaAre you the Medicine God?nor do not point outYou dont have a shadow is probably Falmas Fathers intention.


    (What are you nning? Father)


    Falma stared at his father, trying to understand his intentions, but he was unable to read his fathers expression.


    Falma is also a man who has be a sub-professor in a university in his past life. He is not unwilling to affiliate with the academy and live a life of experimenting. He rather wishes to do it for the sake of educating his juniors. However, even though this worlds medicinal world is backward, it is too obtrusive to have an 11-year-old child appearing in the limelight.


    The danger that would befall to him and the pharmacys employees is too great.


    That is why, the things that he can only do as a boy right now, is to write medicinal textbooks while hiding the authors name secretly. He had thought that it would be alright to be used as standard education in medical universities, since it can be read by anyone, and wouldst for a hundred or even several hundreds of years.


    And Falma himself thinks that he would wish to be a type of person who would face his patients, rather than face with medicines inboratories in this life. He also wants to refrain from being treated as a Medicine God or be worshiped.


    However, his father must have his own thoughts.


    If there is an unknown knowledge just in front, and if it can be reached by reaching out a hand.


    He probably thought that all of it must be brought to light no matter means are used. That is what being a researcher is.


    We do not wish to force you. What do you think?


    Falmas Father faced him and asked with a calm tone.


    It was not like Falma absolutely hates to be one. He is just thinking very carefully whether to ept it right now.


    Hmm. Well then, I should ask Miss Bonnefoi. What will you do?


    Me? If it is Masters order, I will humbly ept


    Bruno had sent eye contact towards Ellen and checked her beforehand. The only answer that Ellen could say was yes. Bruno had released a pressure of you wont get off well depending on your answer.. It is Ellen who bes timid in front of Bruno who is her Master.


    You heard her. Falma, what would you do?


    Well then, if it is a lecturer, then


    Being a professor is too much of too much. It is too conspicuous. Being a sub-lecturer is just good.


    Too bad, but the slots for lecturers, had closed right now. The only post open is a professor


    Its a newly established department you know? Theres no way that could be true. Falma thought to himself.


    Im the store owner of the Different World Pharmacy so that would hinder the pharmacy business


    We do not mind as long as you will give lectures to the students. You are free to discuss anytime. We dont mind even if it is just several hours a day


    The Vice President immediatelypromised. Falma made excuses about this and that, but he was immediately toldwe do not mind, please do as you please. If so,


    (Well, if I directly raised a student, they would be specialistster on, so maybe that would be better as a result)


    That also has a point Falma decided.


    At the worst scenario, it might be even possible to leave the medical examinations of the Different World Pharmacy to them.


    If so, I will ept. But, I would feel awkward as a full-time professor. Please make it a fixed term employment


    Falma said in desperation.


    Well then, please take care of us, Professor Falma de Mdicis. Teacher Eleanore Bonnefoi


    Y-Yes


    And just like that, the discussion ended very quickly.


    And because of that, San Flueve Empires Medicinal Academy has invited a special professor at 11-years-old and one lecturer by an unprecedented personal management.

 Volume 3 - Ch 2

    History shall repeat itself


    The owner of the Different World Pharmacy whispered as if to say a proverb with a solemn face while staring at his schedule book that was about to be full until next year.


    What history? Is it the history of Pharmacology?


    Ellen asked. Although Ellen agreed to be a lecturer in the Medicine Academy in front of Bruno, she seemed dispirited saying that she does not have the confidence to teach students. Because of that, she took out pharmaceutical books from the Academys library and started reviewing.


    (My history of dying of overwork, or my passing history)


    It looks like Falmas predisposition of snowballing the work he epts has not changed in this life as well. Not only that, it had worsened because unlike his past life, he cannot leave it to others.


    (No, this isnt someone elses fault, Im increasing my work myself too. This is bad. My schedule book is already this full right now. Ill absolutely die if I be a professor)


    His current life, of which he thought of spending it with the motto of helping people and not trying too hard. However, within just a year after reincarnating, he was already overwork and felt a sense of crisis. He does not wish to repeat his mistake twice.


    (If I die next time, I probably wont reincarnate)


    Luckily, it was decided that he could start teaching at San Flueve Medicine Academy next year. They said that during the preparatory period, there would be arrangements of the newly established department, organizing of theboratories and experimental rooms, and recruitment of students in the Academy. Especially that excellent students would be gathered not only all over the Empire, but also from all over the world, and there would be an entrance examination for special entries of free tuition free. It looks like they were really putting their heart and soul into it.


    And Falma must do something about the work he has while they did that.


    (Lets pace down. Lets decrease the work. For the meantime, the threat of the ck gue has left right now too)


    Everyones health is important, but my own health is important as well, Falma took a deep breath.


    Before the gues outbreak, massive spread of infection must be prevented at all cost, but there is currently norge scale danger at the moment. If it were Falma in his past life, he would have carried out a death march of simultaneously proceeding with all of the work that must be done, but this time, he is currently wary of death from overwork.


    Do you know about death from overworking?


    What does that mean?


    Ellen tilted her head while wiping her sses.


    Not pushing themselves too hard and working is only until the sun sets is their national trait, so it would seem that the phrase of death from overworking does not even exist. Rest when you are tired. That was natural. Light is valuable, so do not work through the night. That was also natural.


    Doesnt Ellen get tired?


    Come to think of it, my head started to ache


    Because of working too much?


    Its from being too dizzy wearing sses. It cannot be helped


    It looks like Ellen would have a headache when wearing strong sses for a long period. She would be relieved if there was only contact lenses for her, Falma thought, but it would be difficult to manufacture in reality.


    (No, wait, we could make the contact lenses materialsso it shouldnt be that impossible to manufacture)


    Falma started to increase his work again.


    And then? Whats that dying from overwork?


    Its literally dying from working too hard


    It is true, Falma-kun is working too hardbut, would Falma-kun die?


    Ellen has divinized Falma, so it would seem that she could note up with such idea.


    As far as I know, you, you have be tremendously robust since you were hit by lightning. So much that I would even think that the person inside has changed as well


    The boy Falma originally would catch cold several times a year because he would get drenched during water-type divine arts training, and would receive unexpected injuries. There were also times when he became so sick that he could not attend sses, so he was notpelled to do things that much. But right now,pared to that, he would not get sick nor get injuries. He would only get few scratches from training, and would not shed blood.


    (I wonder what would happen if I die from overwork? If I die and withdraw my consciousness from this Falma, would this boy regain his consciousness?)


    Falma felt guilty after thinking of that.


    (No, but, the boy Falma would not awaken while sleeping. This boys consciousness, did it die after all?)


    Anyways, I should take care of this boy Falmas body very well, he thought while stretching.


    Thats right. Its like were being protected by Falma-kun. Im grateful for that. Thank you for protecting us


    Ellen took Falmas hand, stared right into his eyes, and looked at Falma somewhat shyly with her cheeks flushed red. Falma skipped a heart beat. He would not feel anything for Ellen because he would look at her as a colleague, but looking at her carefully, she looked seductive.


    (Ellen, she wouldnt have made such face before)


    Rather, it would seem that Ellen is frightened of Falma after he reincarnated, treating him as a monster. Did she gradually started to open her heart and trust me as time has passed?, Falma felt happy.


    This is all thanks to Falma-sama! We were always under your care!


    Lotte agreed to Ellen although she did not understand the meaning within Ellens words properly.


    You would be a professor in the Academy starting next year too. I wonder if Ill be able to support you properly?


    Ellen worried about Falma with pity.


    A professor in the academy. How great would Falma-sama be? Hes so amazing although hes still young, is he a genius? Is he nothing but a genius!


    Praises from Lotte who got excited, making fists with both hands, would not stop. She is not saying it as ttery, but seriously. The Academy is apletely unknown world for amoner like Lotte. And the big shots and big teachers from that unknown world had all noticed and recognized Falma, and Lotte sent gazes of reverence towards him. Of course, Lotte thinks that Falma is just another person, even after that fight with Kamyu.


    It is all unprecedented. Falma-sama would be busier and busier from now on


    Cedrick felt concerned as well.


    I cant make everybody worry. I should fix my schedule


    There are times when a persons life would depend on it, so I cant really decrease my work load. If so, what needed is efficiency. Ill die if I wont be able to do my work efficiently at shorter times before the Academy lectures start and while Falma was thinking of that, it was already time for the afternoon consultationand a very suspicious siblingwearing masks and hats to their eyes came. Judging from their voice, they are in theirte teens.


    Why are you wearing masks? Please take them off


    Are they extremely shy people? Or do they have something to hide? It is Falma, so it is possible for him to diagnose them using his Diagnosis Eye, but normally, it is impossible to diagnose them with their faces hidden.


    You mustnt ask. You mustnt know their faces. Its that kind of job


    Ellen whispered to Falmas ear. She said that he should respect the patients privacy. Ellen is an apothecary who is good at reading that kind of atmosphere. Falma was also convinced and,


    Well then, what should I do for you today?


    Apothecary-sama, our wrists, and bones would not be relieved of pain, do you have a cure?


    "Stenosing tenosynovitis"


    Falma did not even need to use his Diagnosis Eye, but he still checked to be sure. He would use the Diagnosis Eye as an auxiliary like diagnostic imaging. It looks like the root of the thumb seemed to be inmed.


    The two of you, you have overused your hands huh. It is called tenosynovitis


    Tenosinobitis?


    The siblings dumbly asked back.


    Yes, your thumbs tendon is inmed. I will give you a painkiller. You should use a supporter as well. Also, is it possible for you to make your hands rest?


    It is impossible. We would be unable to pay for our keep. We, we have a huge sum of debt


    Etothe two of you, can I ask what kind of job you have?


    The two of them said at the same time.


    We write handwritten newspaper


    Handwritten newspaper?!


    (What kind of job is that?!)


    It was a job that it is easy to imagine having tenosynovitis just from hearing it.


    Can I ask you in detail?


    It is a job of writing gathered information into paper, and selling it to those who need them. Although, I cannot disclose the content


    The younger sister equivocated.


    (HahaaI see now)


    They are doing extremely coverage activities, so there is no way that even a single town apothecary must know their faces, or maybe, they are handling business information or military information, Falma guessed. The reason for them having a huge debt must also be because they would cross dangers due to their work. All of it is just a spection though.


    There are cases that surgery or steroid injection is needed when the pain caused by tenosynovitis gets worse, but rest is basically for the best.


    How many newspapers do a handwritten newspaper writer copies?


    One can write 50, but a little more when in good shapebut there would also be mistakes in writing, that wont be sold, so we need to write more


    50 newspapers!


    (Ah, of course youd have tenosynovitis)


    The profits increase the more you write right? Does all of the things you write the same information?


    YesThats right, the sibling nodded while rubbing their wrists with teary eyes.


    Does that newspaper, must absolutely be handwritten?


    Suddenly, Falma thought of something and confirmed with them. Is there anything other than handwriting?, the sibling looked at each other.


    Of course, as long as the information can be read, the newspaper will be sold. Although we need topensate if there is misinformation


    The younger sister dropped her shoulders.


    Oi, stop it. Haha, please forget about that


    It looks like they had sold misinformation.


    (Had they written skipped articles? It looks like being a newspaperman is hard)


    And they might be unable to stop being a newspaper writer because of the debt from that. Falma came up with an idea.


    Pleasee here again after one week. Ill your job a little easier


    Y-Yeswell then, we wille again


    The sibling said that they woulde again although doubtful, bought a wrist supporter from the pharmacy, and returned after receiving a pain reliever.


    (This is also a good opportunity)


    Ellen. I want to ask something. Is there only handwriting when transcribing literature and articles in this world?


    Does etching doesnt even exist? What about letterpress printing?, Falma confirmed.


    Un. Its not like theres none. There were woodblock and lithographic printing too. But its obsolete right now


    Ellen made a gesture of remembering, cing a pointing finger on her temple.


    Its trueits very hard to make blocks. It would be on arge-scale too


    It would take a long time to make printing blocks. Speed is life for informants. And there is also no need to print that much, so there would be transcriptions while blocks are being made. The newspaper writers from earlier should be the same


    After hearing that, Falma thought that that should be good.


    Ill try to make a mimeograph (ronotyper)


    It is a printing method that does not need electricity, which was often used in educational settings until 1960s in Japan. Its what they call mimeo.


    Do you have a new idea for an invention? Falma-kun, youre increasing your workload againyou mustnt infinitely increase your work even though you think its alright yourself. If the newspaper writers feel pain in from their wrists, then they should just change their job. Or maybe, continue it while drinking pain relievers


    Ellen worried about Falma. Ellens idea ofif you cant work, then find another job, was really that of an Earls daughter. It was not like there was no freedom of choosing their jobs, but themoners circumstance is that it is hard to change their family business.


    No, this is also to decrease my work


    If one were to ask what was loading Falmas schedule, other than clinical service, it would be writing textbooks and preparation of pharmaceutical lecture materials. During his past life, Falma had created a lecture slide, and used it for pharmaceutical department lectures for many years. So, he came up with a way of making textbooks and lecture handouts at the same time.


    The problem with transcribing is that because speed is needed, there would be human mistakes, or insertion of unintended interpretation. Because Falmas textbooks have diagrams, graphs, and chemical forms, its nuance in details would not be conveyed withme illustrations. It is a needed technology, when thinking of copying exactly what Falma has written.


    We can make handouts to exin the pharmacys drugs too


    It would take a lot of time to exin to patients what the medicine is and for, but if it can be printed, they can just make the patients read them, making them able to save time, and convey the information to the patients correctly. And with that, they would be able to diagnose more patients, leave the other exnations to other apothecaries, and shorten the consultation hours.


    Good deeds should be done quickly

 Volume 3 - Ch 2.1

    History shall repeat itself


    The owner of the Different World Pharmacy whispered as if to say a proverb with a solemn face while staring at his schedule book that was about to be full until next year.


    What history? Is it the history of Pharmacology?


    Ellen asked. Although Ellen agreed to be a lecturer in the Medicine Academy in front of Bruno, she seemed dispirited saying that she does not have the confidence to teach students. Because of that, she took out pharmaceutical books from the Academys library and started reviewing.


    (My history of dying of overwork, or my passing history)


    It looks like Falmas predisposition of snowballing the work he epts has not changed in this life as well. Not only that, it had worsened because unlike his past life, he cannot leave it to others.


    (No, this isnt someone elses fault, Im increasing my work myself too. This is bad. My schedule book is already this full right now. Ill absolutely die if I be a professor)


    His current life, of which he thought of spending it with the motto of helping people and not trying too hard. However, within just a year after reincarnating, he was already overwork and felt a sense of crisis. He does not wish to repeat his mistake twice.


    (If I die next time, I probably wont reincarnate)


    Luckily, it was decided that he could start teaching at San Flueve Medicine Academy next year. They said that during the preparatory period, there would be arrangements of the newly established department, organizing of theboratories and experimental rooms, and recruitment of students in the Academy. Especially that excellent students would be gathered not only all over the Empire, but also from all over the world, and there would be an entrance examination for special entries of free tuition free. It looks like they were really putting their heart and soul into it.


    And Falma must do something about the work he has while they did that.


    (Lets pace down. Lets decrease the work. For the meantime, the threat of the ck gue has left right now too)


    Everyones health is important, but my own health is important as well, Falma took a deep breath.


    Before the gues outbreak, massive spread of infection must be prevented at all cost, but there is currently norge scale danger at the moment. If it were Falma in his past life, he would have carried out a death march of simultaneously proceeding with all of the work that must be done, but this time, he is currently wary of death from overwork.


    Do you know about death from overworking?


    What does that mean?


    Ellen tilted her head while wiping her sses.


    Not pushing themselves too hard and working is only until the sun sets is their national trait, so it would seem that the phrase of death from overworking does not even exist. Rest when you are tired. That was natural. Light is valuable, so do not work through the night. That was also natural.


    Doesnt Ellen get tired?


    Come to think of it, my head started to ache


    Because of working too much?


    Its from being too dizzy wearing sses. It cannot be helped


    It looks like Ellen would have a headache when wearing strong sses for a long period. She would be relieved if there was only contact lenses for her, Falma thought, but it would be difficult to manufacture in reality.


    (No, wait, we could make the contact lenses materialsso it shouldnt be that impossible to manufacture)


    Falma started to increase his work again.


    And then? Whats that dying from overwork?


    Its literally dying from working too hard


    It is true, Falma-kun is working too hardbut, would Falma-kun die?


    Ellen has divinized Falma, so it would seem that she could note up with such idea.


    As far as I know, you, you have be tremendously robust since you were hit by lightning. So much that I would even think that the person inside has changed as well


    The boy Falma originally would catch cold several times a year because he would get drenched during water-type divine arts training, and would receive unexpected injuries. There were also times when he became so sick that he could not attend sses, so he was notpelled to do things that much. But right now,pared to that, he would not get sick nor get injuries. He would only get few scratches from training, and would not shed blood.


    (I wonder what would happen if I die from overwork? If I die and withdraw my consciousness from this Falma, would this boy regain his consciousness?)


    Falma felt guilty after thinking of that.


    (No, but, the boy Falma would not awaken while sleeping. This boys consciousness, did it die after all?)


    Anyways, I should take care of this boy Falmas body very well, he thought while stretching.


    Thats right. Its like were being protected by Falma-kun. Im grateful for that. Thank you for protecting us


    Ellen took Falmas hand, stared right into his eyes, and looked at Falma somewhat shyly with her cheeks flushed red. Falma skipped a heart beat. He would not feel anything for Ellen because he would look at her as a colleague, but looking at her carefully, she looked seductive.


    (Ellen, she wouldnt have made such face before)


    Rather, it would seem that Ellen is frightened of Falma after he reincarnated, treating him as a monster. Did she gradually started to open her heart and trust me as time has passed?, Falma felt happy.


    This is all thanks to Falma-sama! We were always under your care!


    Lotte agreed to Ellen although she did not understand the meaning within Ellens words properly.


    You would be a professor in the Academy starting next year too. I wonder if Ill be able to support you properly?


    Ellen worried about Falma with pity.


    A professor in the academy. How great would Falma-sama be? Hes so amazing although hes still young, is he a genius? Is he nothing but a genius!


    Praises from Lotte who got excited, making fists with both hands, would not stop. She is not saying it as ttery, but seriously. The Academy is apletely unknown world for amoner like Lotte. And the big shots and big teachers from that unknown world had all noticed and recognized Falma, and Lotte sent gazes of reverence towards him. Of course, Lotte thinks that Falma is just another person, even after that fight with Kamyu.


    It is all unprecedented. Falma-sama would be busier and busier from now on


    Cedrick felt concerned as well.


    I cant make everybody worry. I should fix my schedule


    There are times when a persons life would depend on it, so I cant really decrease my work load. If so, what needed is efficiency. Ill die if I wont be able to do my work efficiently at shorter times before the Academy lectures start and while Falma was thinking of that, it was already time for the afternoon consultationand a very suspicious siblingwearing masks and hats to their eyes came. Judging from their voice, they are in theirte teens.


    Why are you wearing masks? Please take them off


    Are they extremely shy people? Or do they have something to hide? It is Falma, so it is possible for him to diagnose them using his Diagnosis Eye, but normally, it is impossible to diagnose them with their faces hidden.


    You mustnt ask. You mustnt know their faces. Its that kind of job


    Ellen whispered to Falmas ear. She said that he should respect the patients privacy. Ellen is an apothecary who is good at reading that kind of atmosphere. Falma was also convinced and,


    Well then, what should I do for you today?


    Apothecary-sama, our wrists, and bones would not be relieved of pain, do you have a cure?


    Stenosing tenosynovitis


    Falma did not even need to use his Diagnosis Eye, but he still checked to be sure. He would use the Diagnosis Eye as an auxiliary like diagnostic imaging. It looks like the root of the thumb seemed to be inmed.


    The two of you, you have overused your hands huh. It is called tenosynovitis

    It looks like they had sold misinformation.


    (Had they written skipped articles? It looks like being a newspaperman is hard)


    And they might be unable to stop being a newspaper writer because of the debt from that. Falma came up with an idea.


    Pleasee here again after one week. Ill your job a little easier


    Y-Yeswell then, we wille again


    The sibling said that they woulde again although doubtful, bought a wrist supporter from the pharmacy, and returned after receiving a pain reliever.

    Good deeds should be done quickly

 Volume 3 - Ch 2.2

    Good deeds should be done quickly


    Falma ordered base paper and specialized thin paper painted with wax and petroleum jelly from the paper shop, and received it within three days.


    What are you going to do with that?


    Ellen and Lotte approached him very curiously. They approached expecting something interesting will happen


    Lets draw with everyone


    Waa! I want to do it!


    Lotte raised her hand. Using the stencil made beforehand that is ced on top of a file folder, a drawing was made as if to scratch the base paper. And then, the base paper was damaged. That base paper was then fixed onto a silk covered wooden frame, the ink was applied to a roller, and pressed into the printing paper. The ink came out of the parts removed from the base paper, and would be printed on paper.


    Amazing! To think that you can print something so easily!


    Ellen was impressed by the oue of the printing.


    Ellen, what did you draw?


    Ellen seems to have printed a somewhat advanced art. Although Falma thought it was rude, he did not know whether it is a person or an animal.


    Its Falma-kun! How is it?


    This is, me? I seehaha, thanks


    Whats with that reaction?!


    On one hand with Ellen not having an artistic sense, Lotte seems to be very talented on the other. That which looked like a copy of a bouquet decorated in the pharmacy, looked like an art decoration painting, and really seemed like art.


    Lotte-chan, that illustration of a flowers really beautiful! What do you think about bing an artist? Im sure that this would sell!


    Ehh?! Is that so! Ill sell it! This is very interesting! Its so fun!!


    Looking at Lotte who innocently continuously printed rolling the roller, Falma thought she was so adorable and felt soothed.


    Lotte-chan, you printed too much? Are you nning on selling all of them?


    A mountain of works was created very quickly.


    By the way, you can print it with different colors by changing the color of the ink


    If you want to be a printmaker, it would be a good idea to add some style, Falma suggested to Lotte. Lotte seemed to like it a lot, and might be her full-fledged hobby.


    After one week, the newspaper sibling came as promised. This time, they were wearing masks simr to Vian masks.


    How does your wrists feel? Is it still painful?


    Thanks to the medicine, it does not hurt anymore


    But even so, it seems like their amount of work of writing newspapers havent changed, although they are doing it while drinking pain reliever for thest week.


    Sorry to keep you waiting. I made a mimeograph, so please use this starting today


    Mimeograph?


    Falma thought them how to use it, seeing that they seemed clueless. The sibling who tried to actually use the mimeograph like they were told to were surprised to its easiness to use and printing quality.


    It is printing so ridiculously! This is revolutionary! Tomorrows article could be made even with just this mimeograph invention!


    The elder brother acimed. The letters can be deciphered properly, and even the fine illustrations and pictures would be printed as they are.


    Is this your invention?!


    No, it is not me


    It is an invention of the great inventor, Thomas Edison. Or at least, Falma wanted to say, but he is only a fictional figure in this world.


    T-T-This means, we only need to write copy?!


    The younger sister timidly asked Falma.


    That is true, you two only need to write a copy. Thats why, I thought it would be great if your tenosynovitis would get better, and your debt would be paid


    UOOOOO?!!


    The elder brother raised a weird voice.


    Ahh, oh God, I cannot believe this! Nii-san


    We did it, little sisterT-Thank you very much, Apothecary-sama, no, you are not a simple Apothecary-sama!


    The sibling held each others hands. They looked exaggeratingly happy, but for them, it is a revolutionary invention.


    It is great to be your help. The work afterward can be done by your other hand, and if you like, you can also leave it to another person


    Falma decided to sell them the base paper and ink at a very low price. They happily bought a lot of them.


    With this, we can make a hundred or even two hundred with just making one copy!


    We cannot believe this, the sibling was moved to tears.


    I dont think that you can print that much. The base paper would get damaged so, well, I think it should be enough for a hundred


    When Falma said that, they said they were happy because even so, it would still be an increase in their earnings.


    They said that they would be able to pay their debts and has a bright road ahead.


    But, be careful of fake news


    Youd fall into more debts the more you print them, Falma warned them.


    Yes, we can take our time to find news materials. The former edition was only scribbling up until now, but we can make good looking articles from now on


    How much would be one set of these?


    I will only ask you the material costs. And, alsothat newspaper, can you sell one copy to the Different World Pharmacy?


    Of course. We will give it for free as long as you promise not to sell out the information


    The sibling took off their masks and hats, and named themselves properly. Andrei Mitterrand and Eme Mitterrand sibling. Although they looked slightly famished, the beautiful sibling with green hair and eyes really stood out.


    It was decided that the Different World Pharmacy would be subscribed to the Hand Written NewspaperThe Imperial Capitals Secret ReportLe secret de Cit imprialefor free.


    I only found out after subscribing, but this newspaper was full of the aristocrat circles hidden affairs, military information, and full of profitable secretmercial information that never appears in the limelight. No wonder people in that line of work would want them. The two siblings business policy was to make a few handwritten copies, mostly about highly priced information for wealthy people, so it couldnt be helped that most of the information they have was ones that are difficult to get.


    The mimeograph that was developed to alleviate their tenosynovitis were also introduced in the Different World Pharmacy. And the flow of work became remarkably efficient. Firstly, Falma examines a patient and writes a prescription. Then Ellen and the first-ss apothecary part-timers would prepare the medicine.


    Here, this medicine is


    Then, the medicine prepared by Ellen and the others would be exined by a different Apothecaries with exnation roles. They would kindly exin the medicine to the patients together with a copy of the patientpliance instruction that Falma wrote. In short, it is the so-calledattachment of document that provides drug informationin Japan. This was printed using a mimeograph.


    Detailed counseling and exnations about the patients condition would be done by the apothecary with the exnation role, and if there were questions, they would be returned to Falma at once, and receive guidance. The document with the exnations would be given to the patients.


    This idea does not only make the work efficient, but also provides a good merit towards the patients, Falma, and the apothecaries.


    After all, up until now, those who have old age would easily forget things, and there are also those who are not taking the exnations to heart. They would ask about it many times and forget it again. That is why, having the exnation of how to drink the medicine, its effects, and how it would affect them written in a paper beforehand, would be very kind to the patients.


    Ara, this is easy to understand. This is good, I always forget about it


    The patients who received the instructions for the medicine for the first time returned satisfied.


    Oya, oya, such side-effects existed huh. I did not know


    Eh? This medicine must be taken twice a day?! I only drank it once a day!


    There were also those who have not noticed their mistakes up until now. As usual, the mimeograph invention was registered with the Imperial Technology Bureau.


    Thanks to you, weve paid our debts so quickly


    After a while, the Mitterrand sibling visited the pharmacy. This time, they came without hiding their faces. It looks like after they made theWeekly Imperial Capitalfor the mass with information that targetsmoners, it seems like it also started getting on the track. With that, they said that they want to slowly stop using informative materials with suggestive information.


    Thats great. Hows your tenosynovitis?


    Falma was also relieved that they have sessfully paid their debts. After all, they seemed slightly famished before, but right now, they have healthyplexions. They probably left the lifestyle of one must work before eating.


    It is not painful anymore, its healed now. This time, our shoulders ache from using rollers too much


    Haha, please buypresses and decrease the number of print copies


    When Falma said that,


    It is exactly as you say


    They said and awkwardlyughed.


    From then on, it is said that the Mitterrand sibling would walk in the daylight without wearing masks.


    After that, Lotte had started to give artistic handouts of the pharmacy printed using the mimeograph on the street.


    As a result of that, it was said that more and more customers visited the Different World Pharmacy, and Falma did not know whether to be thankful or not be thankful.

 Volume 3 - Ch 3.1

    That thing called mimeograph that you had invented, have you presented it to Her Majesty?


    During a certain morning. Falma was pointed out by Bruno at home and remembered a terrible mistake.


    (Even failure histories, repeats itselfhuh)


    Falma waspletely unable toe up with that idea.


    I have forgotten. I will quickly present it to Her Majesty


    Its alright to invent things, but you must not push yourself having too much work


    Bruno worried about Falma while wearing his coat.


    (No, Father also gives me jobs though. For example, bing a university professor)


    I dont really want to hear that from you, Falma really felt like rebutting. And there,


    Father, I want to inquire about something


    This is a good opportunity too, Falma thought and asked. He is unable to ask about it during meal times.


    Why did you pushed me to be a university professor?


    Ahhabout that, it was not like I supported you, the other professors could not hold themselves with you working at a pharmacy. Just as you have thought, I also think that it is too early


    Bruno looked away and spoke withturbid words.


    Normally, making a child a professor was preposterous and ridiculous.


    I hope they had made me one after mying of age, Falma thought.


    However, I am very concerned about how long you would keep that state


    Brunos answer was as such.


    (Thats what he means, huhthe Head Priest also said it)


    Even Falma does not know how long he would be in this world, having the memories of his past life. Just like the Head Priest have said,it is only but a moment that the gods and their incarnations appear in this worldand together with the precedents that are investigated, not only Bruno, but the other professors are worried as well.


    Falma was unable to reply. It was because he was not confident to give an answer.


    Maybe, his ego might even disappear in the next day.


    If, time is finite, I wish that you would concentrate on a huge job


    It takes time to examine patients one by one.


    Brunos rational way of thinking is really showing itself, because he thought it would be better if Falma devoted that time to research, invent numerous new medicines into the world,plete the pharmaceutical schools system, and leave as many excellent sessors.


    That was not impersonal or whatever, it was a very schr-like idea. It would seem to be impersonal as the father or Falma, but he must still do so for the sake of public good.


    Right now, rather than saving thousands of people living as far as your eyes could reach, I wish that you would leave a feat that would remain even if the age exceeds itself. That would result in saving more people, rather than saving the people in front of you. At least, thats what I think


    exceed the age, and remain?


    What Bruno has said was reasonable.


    (I understand that, Father, I understand it very well. That thoughtis also something that put me in a dilemma in my previous life)


    Falmas father is saying that he wants Falma to live just like how he did in his previous life.


    It was not an exaggeration that Falma, in his previous life, had invented numerous new medicines to save thousands and millions of lives in the future, more than the patients that he would meet in his whole life. As a result, he slept and woke up in aboratory, looked face to face with data, and was unable to look at patients. And Falma does not think that that is a wrong way to live.


    It was just, he was wrong for dying from overwork. Falma felt very frustrated thinking that he would have been able to work for the sake of more people if he had only taken care of his body a little more.


    (Butthis time, I dont want to end with just that)


    That was something he had decided since he came to this world.


    I, want to save patients with my own hands


    (This time, I want to live together with patients, firmly looking after them even if its through life or death)


    Hearing that, Bruno stared at Falmas eyes and slowly nodded.


    Its your life. You can do what you want with it. I am really sorry for cing huge burdens on you, although you are still small


    Falmas Father bowed his head. And, continued with a but.


    If you have medicines that you want to test the result, I want you to use this body of mine


    Falmas father did not only pushed responsibilities and work onto Falma.


    I shall dly take your medicine. Falma looked at the back of his father who said that, seeing him not turning around and get into the carriage with Simon.


    He would also, visit patients everyday, while being the president of the university.


    Falma was left in the entrance, thinking about his memories of his previous life and Brunos thoughts, with many emotionsing up to his chest.


    And suddenly, a small, hurried footsteps could be heard from behind.


    Elder brother!


    Falmas little sister nche called out to him from behind. When he turned around, she was making the funnies face she could make unlike what Falma expected.


    Pu! Ahhahaha


    Falma did not expect that she would be making such a face andughed naturally. If their mother saw her, she would definitely scold herOh, how ill-mannered! Stop that!. Seeing Falmaughing loudly, she happilyughed with him.


    Thinking about difficult things with Father, its not good. Your head would split into two. If it splits into two, its not good, you know


    Well, thats true


    Falma felt refreshed and carried nche into an embrace. nche reached out her hand and forcefully pinched the corner of Falmas lips with her thumb and pointing finger.


    Like that, Elder brother. Smile?


    Un, thank you, nche


    nche rubbed her cheeks to Falmas and hugged him back tightly while being embraced.

 Volume 3 - Ch 3.2

    After that, in the San Flueve Pce.


    The Empress, Elizabeth the Second was inspecting the inventions that were respectfully presented.


    In front of Falma who brought a mimeograph with the Lotte-designed superbly beautiful, multi-colored illustration card that became more and more polished, to present to the Empress.


    Please forgive me for thete offering


    Falma apologized while sweating beads. He would always forget to present them to the Empress when he was busy, so hes even thinking of hiring someone who would specialize on presenting his inventions. However, the Empress would probably not be convinced if Falma did not personally exin them. That is what an Empress is.


    The Empress looked at the illustration cards one next to the other, and kept silent for a while. Bring them to me first handwas what Falma was told to do so, so he was worried that he would be punished severely because he waste to present them.


    Fumu, what an excellent workmanship and invention. Or rather, who is this artist named Charlotte. I have never heard of her. Has she yet toe out of the painting circles


    Not only the mimeograph, but the Empress took interest on Lotte, the illustrator, as well. It must be Lottes original style, the beautiful five-set illustrations were drawn in an Art Nouveau and Art Deco style, and the Empress really liked them. Falma also thinks that they were excellently made.


    He asked Lotte to do her best in making the illustrations as not to impair the Empresss mood. Lotte had made them while humming and happily, but her talents have started to show. When Falma praised herLotte was an art genius huh!, she got curious sayingI, am I a genius!. It was an innocent Lotte.


    And so,


    They were made by a personnel of our Pharmacy in nothing but a side hobby. She is not an artist


    Umu, they look more interesting the more I looked at them. Good, I like them. Is that one amoner


    Ha!


    I do not mind even if its amoner, bring her to me soon. Understood?


    ording to the Empress, she wants Lotte to be a court painter, and design the stained ss and other ss crafts in the pce. Emperors obtain what they want, no matter if its an object or a person.


    (Uwaa, Lottes going to have it difficult!)


    The Empresss artistic sense of beauty and fashionable sense was excellent, being about to find value in design painting, during the time when realistic oil painting is at its height. Falma could feel the presence that from now on, Art Nouveau that the Empress appreciated would be prevalent in San Flueves imperial capital.


    (Its the greatest event in Lottes life, or rather, its an important event in the history of art)


    Lotte has studied manners since she was young in the Archdukes mansion, so Falma believes that she would not make a blunder even in front of the Empress, but she might pass out when Falma tells her that she would be the Empresss personal artist.


    I shall order to make a stained ss with this image. I wonder what reward would that one ask for


    It looks like the Empress is going to make a ss artist to make a stained ss out of the illustration that she liked for starters. It is the quick-tempered Empress, so she would probably order to make them tomorrow.


    (Lottes reward, huhLotte is very easy to tell right)


    I think that sweet treats would be good


    Even if Falma doesnt ask her in person, it should be for sure. If Lotte eats the high-ss treats that the Empress and the Prince eats, choctes, she would already be in heaven. And, she would bepletely addicted to them.


    Umu, well then, I shall order the head chef to make high-ss treats. And also, good news


    It looks like the Empress remembered something after speaking about rewards.


    Saying that?


    One of the thermaes that you wished as a reward has beenpleted


    Although she had said Falma wished for them, Falma did not directly ask for them. He only said that he wants to go to the hot springs, but Noah reported that. Noah became a semi-knight, and not longer a small page, but even so, he is still running errands as the Empresss aide. He probably knows that that is the shortcut for promotion. And even now, he is nonchntly attending this offering ceremony.


    T-This quicklyas expected of Her Highness


    The Empress ordered the construction of five thermaes in the imperial capital but it looks like one of them was alreadypleted. Not even a month has yet to pass. It was told that it was built through the night without sparing the lights.


    (This is probably, what an emperor is huh)


    Indeed, indeed


    Ahhahahaha, the Empressughed heartily.


    It is natural to hurry the reward for the Empires meritorious person


    The muscle-head Empress said such manly words.


    I wanted you to be the first one to see the bath after all!


    The Empress looked down towards Falma pompously.


    (Ah! Your Highness, that, its as if youre spiting me for beingte to present!)


    That is the case. We shall visit the bath now


    The courtiers also followed the Empress who had stood up from her throne. It was said that the bath was reserved for her for the whole day today.


    R-Right now?!


    It was said that the bath was prepared quickly to make Falma surprised since he woulde to the pce for the offering ceremony. The bath itself has yet to be opened for service, but of course, the Empress would be the first one to enter it. The nobles andmoners would be after that. By the way, just like Lotte had requested, both themoners and nobles are able to enter it although the bath itself is separated.


    With a reason such as it was a long time since the Empress left the pce, a grand parade will be held leading to the thermae. It would be done with a grandiose carriage pulled by ten white horses and protected by the cavalry. The front gate of the pce opened and the Empress emerges before the people.


    And Falma, just like the Empress, he is riding in the same specialized imperial carriage pulled by white horses. The Empresss carriage drew the passionate gaze of the people. The weather is good as well so the roof of the carriage was taken off and one could see whats inside. It looks like there was somemotion, seeing that the person beside Her Highness is the different world pharmacys young owner.


    Your Highness! Your Highness!


    The passionate Your Highness call was deafening.


    (Ahh, why did this happen)


    Falma had a flushed face and shrunk at the Empresss side, but the Empress did not keep it in mind.


    Now there, themoners are looking. Get a hold of yourself


    Y-Yes


    While receiving the gaze and apuse of the crowd, the carriage finally arrived at the Thermes de Cit Impriale (Thermae of the Imperial Capital).


    Wow, amazing! How splendid!


    Falma attempted to show a huge reaction as much as he could. After all, the Empress brought Falma to the thermae to see his reaction.


    Umu, indeed


    The newly made public bath was created by refurbishing the mansion of a noble, so it has a considerable site area. Its exterior looks just like a pce. And it was said that that structure is a huge entertainment facility, directly ordered by the Empress. The thermaes staff personnel were waiting for the Empresss arrival outside. With just that, reflects the strength of the Empresss authority.


    Falma got off the carriage with the Empress, and after passing through the elegant entrance hall where expensive ss was used unsparingly, the entrance of the changing room could be seen. There are two entrances.


    Uhm, by the way, I would like to askthe bath, is it separated for males and females?


    Umu, it is separated. It will be a matter of grave significance if the public morals be disordered


    (Thank goodnessthats why, there are four separate baths for nobles andmoners of the different gender)


    When Falma was about to go towards the mens bath with a gentlemans engraving, the Empress stopped him.


    You shall enter the private bath for the royal family together with me. Let us enter the female bath


    W-Why, Your Highness?!


    Falma asked with a cracking voice.


    I went out on the way to make it built, wouldnt it be a waste to enter separately?


    E-Entering the same bath with Her HighnessI dare not


    Right now, there are only two guests in this thermae.


    The Empress and Falma. It would seem that the Empress just really wishes to see Falmas reaction of surprise and admiration.


    Hahaha, you are still 11, no need to talk about men and women yet. How could you speak so precociously


    After grabbing Falmas arm strongly, the Empress forcefully dragged him towards the entrance of the womens bath.


    A wide space was used for the changing room, and could amodate hundreds of people. There are also resting areas and massage rooms.


    Over here, lets go


    After the Empress undressed without hesitation, she walked towards the bath with huge strides. Seeing the plump, well-shaped buttocks in front of him, Falma looked away.


    (What the heck is this, is this Her Highnesss unconscious service)


    Several maids wearing clothes followed her. Falma would only be troubled if he was left alone in the changing room, so he went towards the bath in a hurry while hiding his front with a towel.


    Therge bath was wonderful. Within the spacious dome, there is water flowing directly into the bath, and as spacious as a 25-meter pool, and there are also several circr and rectangr baths. Each of them has differences in temperature, differences in designs, some have fountains, and some has bathing agents. The interior look extravagant as well, with statues made out of marble in the middle of therge bath, and ornamental nts and other decorations were arranged very well. The tall, white pirs would make one reminisce of Rome. The Empress went towards the ss-enclosed private bathhouse that is in the middle of the courtyard.


    Entering the bath, crimson petals of rose were floating unsparingly above the water. The smell of rose permeated.


    Wowas expected


    Seeing Falma losing his words to the magnificent view, the Empress ced her hands on her waist in satisfaction, and turned around. She ispletely unguarded.


    (Ahh! Your Highness! If you turned around so suddenly, I-Id be able to see them!)


    When Falma was about to cover his face, the two maids beside the Empress covered her front with a silk cloth.


    (Thank you, dear maids! Good job)


    It was a close shot. The 25-year-old Empresss skin looks very youthful, her waist shows a beautiful curve, and her chest was abundant as well (although only its silhouette could be seen through the silk), making her a possessor of a perfect style. The Empress does not have a ce she is embarrassed with, so she does not hide them sneakily like themon people.


    And so, the maids are the ones who hide the Empresss sacred body so that it would not be seen by anyones eyes.

 Volume 3 - Ch 3.3

    After washing their body with bath water, they soaked themselves in the rose bath. The sound of hot water reverberates throughout the room. Steam rises and the maids slowly fanned the two. That, in short, being alone in the bath together with the Empress of a Great Empire.


    How is it? Do you like it? I made this for your rxation, you should rest and rx


    (The emperors authority, its too awesome)


    Starting with thoughtlessly saying that he wants to go to the hot springs, and reaching this as a result, Falma felt very awed.


    Uhm, thank you very much


    Umu. If you are happy, then I am satisfied


    The Empress narrowed her ruby-colored eyes and showed a pleasant smile. Her skin that was colored by the rose petals would make anyone feel the sex appeal of an adult woman. The way she casually scooped up her silver hair with a gold mesh was enough to describe as a peerless beauty even without her makeup. Undressing the clothes of an emperor, what existed there was one lovely woman. They say that the Empress is a widow. ording to Ellen, just soon after marrying her husband (the prince consort), he died of an epidemic on the battlefield. Since then, with her thin(?) arms, she excellently upheld the Empire. She is courageous and admirable too, Falma thought.


    Absently soaking with the Empress in his side, Falma forgot the time and enjoyed the scenery of the garden outside the bathhouse, the small birds fly down and y, but suddenly, the Empress was staring at Falmas upper arm.


    Eh?!


    And, the Empress, she closed the distance between them, and stared into it. Falma got careless. The scars in his arms must not be seen.


    The mystery is resolved, it was as such, huh


    The Empresss eyes widened. And her gaze, it caught the color of envy.


    Isnt that a holy insignia


    (Oh no!)


    There is nothing that he could do even if he hides it now.


    It is theplete Medicine Gods insignia


    The Empress showed a deep nod as if she assured herself that it was so. Falmas scar, it is releasing nothing but a faint light in the darkness.


    Um, is this, is it that after all?


    Falma understood that the Empress knows about the holy insignia so he gave up and asked.


    She is the Empires strongest divine arts user, she should see through it even if he starts hiding it now.


    You should look at this


    The Empress raised her right leg from the bath. In the inner part of her calves, there was a scar that seemed like a zing me.


    Eh?! Is that a holy insignia?!


    (Someone who possesses the holy insignia, they exist other than me!)


    Falma felt some sense of affinity with the Empress.


    Its the me Gods holy insigniaif it wasplete, that is. Itcks about 1/4 of it


    The Empress used her thin finger to point at her calves that drew a lean curve.


    It was as she said, it felt like something is missing when one would look at the scar on her leg as the me Gods emblem.


    When I was ten, it became like this when I got a burn


    Since then, she was found by the Temple, and started to walk on the path of an emperor. Before her strength, there was no one who blocked her way, she possessed the title of the strongest as much as she wanted, exceeded the famous divine arts users, and received the emperors crown.


    It was also when I was 10, it became like this after I was hit by lightning


    There was a strange match between Falma and her situation.


    It is told that one would possess strong divine powers, even if only a part of the holy insignia were inscribed to their body


    Because of that, she was able to be the Empress. Whether she liked it or not. As a chosen one.


    And if the holy insignia isplete, it is told that God shall dwell. When I was still a little girl, that made me vexed. I thought of how great it would have been if Ive had aplete insignia


    Falma silently listened to her words.


    However, right now, I think that it is good that its iplete. I am afraid that, if the insignia wasplete, my consciousness might have disappeared


    Thats why, said the Empress while looking at Falma with a gaze that could mean pity in some way. Falma received her words and stared back right at her.


    Right now, there are two of the Medicine Gods insignia in your body, yet, both of them areplete. The great Medicine God might have dwelled on you, you must have received unparalleled strength and wisdom, but


    The Empresss finger gently traced the insignias in Falmas arms. As if to console the boy, Falmas body who has lost its shadows and ceased to be that of a human.


    I wonder, you who have be the Medicine God, I wonder, if Falma de Mdicis heart, remains as it was before


    After the Empress threw out a simple but cruel question, she said I am starting to get dizzy from the bath, I shall leave first, and left the bath. In the bathroom where the Empress has left, Falma let his body soak in that light that passes through the ss, and has the same shine as of that in Earth.


    He had fallen into an illusion, that someday, his body would be transparent and turn into light, disintegrating everything together with his ego and just disappear.


    After that, Falma did not think of anything and tried all of the baths.


    He remembered nches words, its not good to think about difficult things.


    Each and every bath felt good. He felt as if his body rxed, and his body that was continuously working was finally refreshed.


    Fuuit was a great bath. I should get out of the bath I guess


    When Falma was about to leave the bath, there was some noiseing from the dressing room. And soon after, tens of guest women entered therge bath one next to the other. He could also hear the first-ss apothecaries from the different world pharmacy, and Ellen and Lottes voices as well.


    He?!


    The towel that Falma ced on his head fell off. His became red.


    Kyaa, Eleanore-sama, your breasts are huge after all!


    Lottes excited voice echoed throughout the bath. Although they are hiding their fronts with a cloth, Falma could see their body lines clearly even from far away. Falma was just at a position where they cant see him, being hidden by decorative nts.


    Arara, Lotte-chans are getting bigger too arent they?


    Kyaa! Please stop! Its ticklish!


    Ara, Lotte-chans are pink?!


    (I-Im curious! Whats pink?! I-Is it her hair? Its her hair, right?)


    Falma got curious, and told himself peeking is a crime, peeking is a crime, but his blood pressure had a gradual increase due to nervousness and excitement.


    Oh really, Her Majestys so generous. To think that we would get specially invited before it opened


    From what Falma heard from them, he found out that they were invited by the Empress to reward the pharmacys staff.


    Falma-sama was invited too right? I did not see him in the entrance though


    They said that he entered first with Her Majesty. He should be taking his time in the mens bath


    There are female apothecaries from the dispensing pharmacy guild, so there should be ones invited to the mens bath.


    (I mean, this isnt the time to for this. Oh no!)


    Falma was left by himself inside the womens bath. And the dressing room is blocked.


    (Your Majesty, why did you leave me alone and invited guests in when I havent got out! Is it on purpose?!)


    If he was to encounter them head to head, he would probably get lynched by the female guests. No, that might not happen, but it is unknown what would happen. What should I do?, Falma thought while he hid himself using the decorations.


    However, even so, he was unable to leave from the dressing room, lost the ce to stay in, so he could only run into the Empresss private bathroom without getting noticed.


    He jumped into the bath, showed only his face from the water surface, and camouged his existence using the rose petals.


    I could only wait here


    And speaking of Falmas fate being unable to get out of the bath


    He waster on found by a cleanerpletely passed out and floating in the rose bath.


    More on that, in the Thermae of the Imperial Capital that was officially opened.


    Rumors say that when one soaked themselves in the womens bath, back pain, stiff shoulders, and other diseases would be cured.

 Volume 3 - Ch 4.1

    A cutely wrapped box with a golden insignia that indicates the Imperial Family is ced in front of Lotte who looks very nervous.


    An emissary from the court came to the Different World Pharmacy.


    It was said that the box is a gift to Lotte from a certain high-ss individual.


    Its probably from Her Majesty


    There was a handwritten signature by Elizabeth II in a fine sealed envelope.


    From Her Majesty?! What do you mean from Her Majesty?


    It says that its for Lotte from the Empress


    Lotte who was about to copse timidly removed the crimson ribbon and wrapping, showing a two-stage drawer. She nervously pulled the top drawer and took out whats inside.


    T-This?! This is?! T-That rumored?!?!?!


    Lotte was bbergasted as if she had discovered a new continent.


    I wonder what this is, Falma-sama?


    You didnt know?


    She looked at Falma with a solemn expression.


    Theres no way Id know about it rightIm just, a maid you know


    Lotte herself did not have the opportunity to taste high-ss delicacies. She would even twitch her nose many times together with a gaze of envy each time she would serve the House of de Mdiciss nche and Falma their sweets. Although she would now receive some of the from Falmas share, and she is now able to buy them using her own ie after bing an employee of the pharmacy, it is only on the level thatmoners can reach.


    Arara, Lotte-chan, this is called Praline Choc, it tastes delicious you know. Ah, Im not aiming for it, so Lotte-chan should eat them caringly


    Ellen took a peek at whats inside the jewelry box from Lottes shoulder. Ellen was not bad enough to hoist one from her.


    Praline! Its a word I dont know, Eleanore-sama!


    In short, Praline Choc is a bite-size chocte. It is simr to high-ss choctes that are often exchanged during the Valentines Day.


    Ill open the bottom too


    Lotte pulled the second drawer. What appeared was colorful confectionery arranged in a circle.


    Oh my, its Macaron. Its sweet and soft, so it tastes so good


    Ellen stimted Lottes appetite.


    Ehehe, Praline and Macaron!!


    Lottes smile was reaching her ears. Falma looks back, knowing that he was not wrong about treats being the best reward for Lotte.


    Ahh! Can these be eaten? Its so wasteful to eat them! They look like jewels!


    Lotte closed the drawers that were filled with treasures. Haa, she enjoyed the remaining scent.


    You should eat the confectionaries early, Macarons spoils quickly


    Falma said with a wry smile.


    Its impossible to eat such cute things!!


    She hugged the treasure box and shook her head.


    Or rather, Lotte-chan. Shouldnt you read the letter from Her Majesty first?


    Lotte followed her advice and read them, then dropped the letter after finishing reading it.


    I-I-Immmmm! C-C-C-C-Court Painter?!!!!!


    Lottes voice cracked and almost fainted. For a maid servant such as her, the Empress of the worlds greatest country, the San Fleuve Empire, is an existence above the clouds. The honor of being requested by the Empress to suddenly be a Court Painter could only be described as a miraculous event.


    I-I think that Lotte is an art genius!


    Falma whos praised by Lotte in his daily life, praised Lotte back as a return.


    Kyaa! Oh no! Really?! Am I a genius?!


    Although it seemed like an acting, Lotte believed him.


    Are you going to ept it then? Lotte-chan


    Oh no, Im so scared, a court painterits impossible for me


    I think that its more frightening refusing Her Majestys invitation though. Also, if you want to refuse, then its better not eating the confectionaries


    PYAAA!


    Lotte let out a weird voice, alternating her gaze between the treats and the letter.


    If, you want to focus on being a court painter, you dont need to help in the pharmacy any more


    Falma said thoughtfully for Lotte who would probably be very busy. Although Falma believes that it is a great honor for Lotte to be selected as a court painter, it is not like he ispletely delighted about it. Although it is an honor, it also contains many constraints just like Falma. Also, there is no doubt that her workload would increase drastically. For a job such as an artist, the end does not exist. It consumes time infinitely.


    Falma forgot about himself, thinking that one shouldnt overwork.


    I feel fulfilled when helping in the pharmacy. And Im very honored with Her Majestys request. If, if its not a nuisance, I would like to help with both


    Lotte answered with an innocent smile.


    I would try to make you exempted from the work in the mansion at least. Theres no way that you can do them both


    No, no, my work in the mansion is my duty


    She does not have the consciousness of thinking that its calledbor.


    Ill make you exempted. Got it?


    Auu, please no. My fulfilment


    (This, Lotte might be the same kind of person like me)


    I must watch her work load carefully, Falma increased his vignce.

 Volume 3 - Ch 4.2

    After a few days, Falma came to the pce with Lotte to seek an audience with the Empress.


    Lotte is wearing the new dress that she bought using the money raised from the pharmacys wage.


    It seems that Lottes mother ordered such a luxurious dress that is suitable for the audience at a high-ss tailor shop adding in her savings. Although, it is about the thoughtful Empress, they would probably be given enough funds to meet the cost.


    Soon after Falma and Lotte arrived at the pce, they were guided to the Empresss office.


    The Empress was taking care of piled up paper works with her ministers and secretaries, signing them at an astonishing speed.


    Your Majesty, the new court painter has arrived


    Ohh, you are the one called Charlotte huh


    The Empress stopped her work and weed Lotte with a smile.


    Lotte curtsied, raising her skirt and bowed her head deeply. She did it more respectfully and bowed deeper whenpared to as usual when she is in Falmas mansion. While Lotte is still described as a young girl, her etiquette as a servant of a great noble is sophisticated.


    Yes, Your Majesty. My name is Charlotte Soller. I feel very honored by Her Majestys invitation to be a court painter. Also, I cannot thank you enough for the wonderful gift that you have given me


    Umu. Your artworks are the condensation of purity and curvaceous charm that is difficult for others to copy


    It is my honor to be praised by Her Majesty


    The Empress allowed Lotte free pass in the art workshop made specifically for court artists, asking her to make original artworks using ceramics, tapestries, and stained ss that can be made by other craftsmen.


    You are still young. It is not suitable to ask you too much and push yourself too hard. You should just bring your designs when you have them, and you do not need to make your artworks in the workshop as well


    It means that she does not have a fixed quota and it is possible to work at home. It is a considerable treatment.


    I will do my best to create artworks that would satisfy Her Majesty


    Lotte received a badge with crossed paint brushes that show her status as a court painter from the Empress and attached it to her chest. From then on, she was allowed to freely enter the workshop.


    I was so nervous! Her Majestys so beautiful right, shes like a goddess!


    After leaving the office, Lotte let out a deep sigh while cing a hand on her chest. She imed that she almost fainted with her chest throbbing so hard.


    Were you nervous? It was quite alright


    Falma felt relieved. The ministers were also impressed, saying that she acted very well in front of the Empress. Following that, Lotte went to see the court workshop that could be found inside the pce grounds. Falma apanied her.


    I am the workshop chief, Hubert. Do your best


    A young workshop chief weed them.


    Please take care of me


    Many court painters and artisans are creating furniture and furnishings that were ordered inside the workshop. Among them, an old court painter is working on the imperial familys portrait with a serious face.


    He is our workshops top court painter, Baron Dale


    Falma and Lotte watched him work from a distance.


    Hm?


    The painter, Baron Dale noticed the concentrated gazeing from Lotte.


    My name is Charlotte Soller. It looks so good, its as if its alive


    Lotte stood in awe of the overwhelming skill.


    Its nothing, there are many who could rece painters who are just good


    Well, I could say Im a bit good at the skill of beautification though, he answered seemingly used to praises.


    However, Lotte respected him because its because he has the status of being the greatest painter in the Empire that he was given the honor of drawing the Empresss portrait.


    Youre that Charlotte, I see. I saw your painting


    Yes, thank you very much


    Bluntly speaking, your painting is too rough. I cant even find a way to praise it


    Lotte who did not know techniques nor studied them did not have any words to retort with, got red to the ears and looked down with shame. It is too presumptuous for her to call herself a court painter, but Lotte is also aware of that.


    I-It is exactly as you say


    Lottepletely shrunk.


    But that was the good thing about it


    However, his bright voice, it continued, as though she has dispelled something.


    For all these years, I did my best to improve my drawing skills. I have been seeking for the drawings that areparable with the real thing. Thats why, when I saw your work, I felt nk. It was not a masterpiece, nor could be called excellent, but it made me remember that art is free


    What captured the Empresss heart was the exact opposite of what the old painter had drawn.


    He felt as though his life was denied entirely, making him return to his beginning. He said deprecatingly.


    But, Im already old. Its toote to challenge new things. I am thinking of retiring, not finishing this drawing, and not offering it to Her Majesty


    Eh?! Why?


    It was quite nearpletion, making Falma and Lotte feel that its a waste to stop now.


    It looks like the workshop chief heard his retirement n for the first time, he looked surprised and panicky.


    After all, it seems that, I am possessed by an evil spirit


    If a painting done by someone who was possessed by an evil spirit was disyed in the pce, it might call upon a disaster to the emperor. Thats why he said that he must withdraw from it.


    Please tell me what happened


    If it were before, Falma would have taken a step back, feeling the absurdity of it, but since encountering Kamyu, he finally understood that evil spirits really exist in this world.


    However, although the baron proimed that he is possessed by an evil spirit, Falma cannot feel an evil presence from him. Additionally, Falma used his Diagnosis Eye, but he did not saw anything unusual. So, all he can do is ask him what it is about.


    What kind of evil spirit is it?

 Volume 3 - Ch 5.1

    On a fine autumn day, an autumn partyFte dautomneevent organized by the General Headquarters of the Different World Pharmacy is held in the sandbank of the river owned by the de Mdicis Family.


    This event is a secret outdoor event where the staff of the pharmacy and regr customers are invited.


    However, the Head Priest and other priests have mixed in as well, taking with them regr tickets.


    In this party, a dish that is yet to be known is served to the guests.


    Its curry.


    Falma was finally able topound an edible curry recipe from the ones he mixed in hisboratory in the fourth floor of the pharmacy, so he asked the chefs of the House of de Mdicis to make and serve it.


    (I didnt think that a mere curry party would be this grand)


    Countless normal dishes are also served in open tables in consideration of those who would not like the taste of curry.


    The event turned out to be a grand and elegant one, with an orchestra ying outdoor music.


    It tasted very good


    Ellen who is wearing a sky blue dress just likedies of her age does is tasting the curry where expensive spices are used. She is elegantly eating her curry using a knife and a fork.


    Be careful not to spoil your dress


    Kyaa! It got on me!


    Falmas warning was in vain. It looks like she dirtied her dress so quickly.


    This currys yellow color, it can be taken off right?


    It should get off after washing it and drying it under the sun. Theponent that makes it yellow will be dposed when exposed to sunlight


    Thinking something like this might happen, Falma came to this venue dressed up in clothes with a ck base color.


    Is that so? Thank goodness


    Eating outside also makes you feel refreshed on this fine day


    It looks like it was a new feeling for the people of this world who does not have a culture of eating outside.


    Can you tell us the recipe?


    Admiral John who came tightly dressed up in his uniform, not his usual one-shirt-look, showed the desire to use curry for seafarers meals. Falma gave him the document that has the details he copied using the mimeograph.


    Spicessts very long, so I think that its suitable for seafarers meals as well


    Falma looked forward to the day there would be seafood curry.


    Falma-sama, what a wonderful dish!


    Lotte was busy conquering all the vors of the curry while following her table manners.


    The curries prepared are Keema Curry (curry with minced chicken meat), Aloo Pk (curry with spinach and potato), European Curry (curry with soup stock taken from meat, vegetables, and herbs, with added milk), and White Curry. Falma thought that people would choose their likes and dislikes, but thankfully, it just fit their tastes. She elegantly wiped his mouth that is covered with curry using her napkin. And Lotte also had curry stains on her white apron skirt. Lotte looked very satisfied.


    Its the best its eaten with this bread. What is this bread called? Ehehe, I can eat a whole lot of them


    Its called Nan


    Falma ate his curry with his nan.


    Nani?(What?)


    Ellen asked back.


    The thick ones are called nan which is made with refined wheat, the thin ones are called chapati made with whole grains


    Ahh, I cant stop eating curry


    Falma continued to eat his meal at a slow pace as he chats with Ellen and the pharmacys regr customers. It was a satisfying meal, however


    (AhhI could only wish that theres rice)


    Falma summoned an urge to eat extra-sized curry rice meal that would make his stomach swell, but it would be indecent in this worlds manners, and in the first ce, theres no rice in this world.


    This, what spices are used on it? I want to make this too after going home


    In this world, spices are still expensive and people would feel the pain using a lot of them, so the recipe of the curry is one that only uses the least amount.


    In this recipe, you would chop the onions and vegetables and stir-fry, and boil it together along with the meat, using turmeric, coriander, red pepper and cayenne pepper, cumin, ginger and garlic


    If more spices are used, the deepness of the taste would naturally be better, but Falma is not that knowledgeable in mixing spices, and he could not use the spices to their bests, so he could only make the recipe after many failures.


    The spiciness of curry depends is determined by the amount of red pepper, cayenne pepper, and other peppers.


    By adjusting their amounts, one could make the curry that is for kids, adults, sweet ones and very hot ones. Very hot and spicy curry strongly stimtes the stomach, so Falma didnt serve it this time. He couldnt organize a party with the Different World Pharmacys name then have people with upset stomachs.


    Curry, it looks very healthy


    Lotte fanned her face with her hand. Come to think of it, my body is getting warm, Ellen nodded.


    It has a side that is good for health


    It is true that curcumin, which is a pigment contained in turmeric, has a strong antioxidant effect and it is supposed to have an inhibitory effect on cancer and research is underway. However, one must be careful onmon advertisements iming these ingredients is good for this disease. Falma does not n on advertising curry as a healthy food at all.


    Eating too much is not good and he had to take personal health conditions into consideration. There are also aspects that the burden on the gastrointestinal tract is great if too many spices are taken in.


    Whats with that cautiousness?


    Ellen let out a wryugh to Falmas adult-minded, iridescent choice of words.


    Ahh, but, your body would get warm and there is an appetite-stimting effect


    This, how long would itst after cooking? Can you eat it after a few days?


    Please eat it on the day its cooked


    It is generally thought that curry which is prepared and left to sleep overnight is delicious, but there is also cases where the curry which people left overnight many grow bacteria called Welsh fungus and be the cause of food poisoning, even if its heated up.


    There is no problem keeping it on the refrigerator and eat it the next day, but it would be better people in this world to refrain doing that.

 Volume 3 - Ch 5.2

    After finishing eating, the staff of the pharmacy and its regr customers continued to chat, and some are ying a racquet sports called jeu de paume which is a precursor to tennis. The eventpletely turned into a recreation party, making Falma and the guests enjoy most of their time.


    Falma-kun, would you like to dance? I really love dancing so Id really like to dance right now


    The sound of light music yed by the orchestra could be heard. Ellen invited Falma for a dance. The baroque dance of nobles is about to start. Falma had received education about dances for salons as a nobles etiquette.


    Alright. Ellen likes dances huh


    (Was I able to dance again? I just hope I wont shame her)


    Although worried, Falma joined the dance with Ellen. Is it the boy Falmas body memory? Falma was able to remember the steps and movements that was needed. Ellen danced in baroque style dressed up beautifully with elegance, she would unconsciously meet with Falmas eyes and her movements that are more beautiful and sophisticated than ever looked very attractive.


    (Looking at Ellen when shes like this, she really seems mature. Shes bing even more beautiful recently)


    Even Falma who have thought of her as a younger girl before thought that it might be better to look at Ellen as a woman. Their dance ended with Falma not noticing the kind of feeling he started to have towards Ellen.


    Lotte who could not participate in the baroque dance with her identity as a servant weed the two of them with an apuse albeit being envious. She cheered on them sincerely.


    Fuwa, you two were so good! Seeing you like that, you are really great nobles after all, you were so beautiful!


    Well yeah, were nobles after all. Ive beenpelled to do things like this ever since Im young


    Ellen smiled at Lottes naturally airheadedment.


    Hm? Wheres nche?


    But at that time, nche sat on the bench and was stooping.


    Whats the matter, nche-sama


    My tummy hurts


    After leaving thefort room, she returned to the bench and,


    Brother, lend me yourp!


    Asked Falma to let her lie on hisp. ncheid down her body in a  position.


    Mydy, are you alright? Mydys tummy is in bad!


    Lotte looked after her spiritedly, bringing her drinks and a cloth cover. Even after she was chosen as a court painter, Lotte continued to serve the members of the House of de Mdicis respectfully.


    Curry probably wasnt good for you. Im so sorry


    nche has the constitution of being prone to diarrhea in the first ce, so she was served curry that has the least amount of spices mixed in, but even so, it mightve been still too stimting for the child, Falma thought.


    It might be for the best if nche wont eating curry anymore


    Curry, it was delicious, but, I cant eat it anymore?


    nche regretfully pouted her lips and bit her pointing finger.


    Lets not


    No, its not currys fault, my tummy already hurts before! Its true!


    nche resisted, asserting that it would be bad if she cant eat curry anymore.


    Falma looked at her with his Diagnosis Eye. She did not have a major disease.


    Its not ulcerative colitis or Crohns disease and other diseases and infections. It was notctose intolerance either.


    And while Falma was doing that, nche who was lying down with hisp as a pillow feel asleep, so he couldnt move from there anymore. Beside the bench, Lotte and Falma were still looking at her worriedly.


    Poor thing, she should get some rest


    I agree. Ill apany her here.


    Falma petted nches hair and touched her cheek. nche who was sleeping under the sun was a very beautiful girl. For Falma, she is her precious blood sister. He wished that she would get better soon.


    Her gut flora might be imbnced


    Whats gut flora? Are you talking about the field of flowers (fleurs)?


    Flora is defined as the nts of a particr region or period in English. English doesnt exist in this world, so Ellen could not possibly know that.


    There is something like a field of flowers for bacteria in the intestines


    And just exactly, in the sandbank of the river where the party is held, spread a field of flowers. It was a beautiful view of white and yellow flowers making many clusters.


    You see, looking at the field of flowers, the view is always changing right? Sometimes there would be more white flowers and sometimes there would be yellow flowers, or sometimes there would be more weed


    Falma pointed at the cluster of white flowers and the cluster of yellow flowers.


    Thats right. Its not always at the same state


    Ellen was convinced. Without taking care of them in their natural state, the nts would startpeting for survival.


    Simr to that, there are many bacteria in the intestine, constantly increasing and decreasing. Good bacteria and bad bacteria would expand or reduce their habitat, just like this field of flowers. The state of bacteria in the gut flora is quite different from person to person, and it is not always constant either. And right now, I think that nches state is not good


    Speaking of that, theres no way that there are so many bacteria in your intestine. Theres just a few right?


    Youre exaggerating, Ellenughed.

 Volume 3 - Ch 5.3

    Theres no way that there are so many bacteria in your intestine. Theres just a few right?


    Youre exaggerating, Ellenughed.


    Although this isnt a pleasant topic, dont you think that feces are just waste from food?


    By the way, Falma asked Ellen. He also thought it should be alright talking about it now after everyone has finished eating, although it was still a bad topic.


    Of course


    Ellen agreed affirmatively, and Lotte also didnt doubt it, thinking All thates out is food right? After all, all that we eat is food!.


    Well, youre wrong


    Falma shook his head and raised his finger one by one.


    If the amount of theponents included in feces excluding moisture are arranged in descending order, number 1 would be the cells of the mucous membrane of the intestine, number 2 would be the intestinal bacteria, and number 3 would be the waste from food


    The percentage of food, isnt it too little?!


    Ellen seemed as if she received a shock.


    The food eaten has about 4-5% percentage


    Thats all?!


    The total amount of intestinal bacteria or gut flora of an adult human would be 1-1.5kg. Falma taught Ellen and Lotte what the gut flora is. Lotte subconsciously looked towards her stomach.


    It was that important, huh. Ha, intestinal bacteria, I see them now in a new light. One must increase their good bacteria huh. I was looking at on intestinal environment too lightly


    Ellen pats her stomach as if to show gratitude to her gut flora.


    One must remove the weeds and apply fertilizer to see beautiful flowers. Its the same with your gut


    I agree!


    Thats right!, Lotte cheerfully raised her hand in agreement. Ellen also followed Lotte and nned to work on improving her intestinal environment immediately starting today. But although Ellen was full of spirits,


    And then? How can you increase the good bacteria?


    Good bacteria are made up ofctic acid bacteria andctobacilli. They take effort on increasing these bacterias influence on nches intestine.


    For example, if the flower field in front of you was a clear field, the number of the flowers you grew first will increase right?


    Thats true. Maybe its because theres nothing else to disturb it, so it might cover the entire field


    Since the day of a babys birth, it takes in good bacteria from its mothers normal bacterial flora. After that, it would gradually take in other bacteria, start to multiply in the intestine, creating its gut flora.


    However, its difficult to nt flowers when its already this crowded


    Un, it will lose to the other nts. What must be done?


    The human body thats entangled byplicated factors is reallyplicated, Ellen felt a headache.


    Thats why, you cannot just eat food that containsctobacillus


    If one asked what food hasctobacillus, it would be fermented products such as yogurt and cheese. If such food is normally eaten, it would already have died when it reaches the intestine due to gastric acid. Even a specialctic acid bacterium that is said to reach the intestine alive may only reach the intestine, but it hardly gets colonized. If one stopped eating them, it would turn into feces (dead bacteria), and be excreted.


    In the state where gut flora has already been established, even if one would ingest good bacteria, it can be said that it is difficult to create a new space where it could be colonized. However, thectobacillus itself has the function of enhancing immunity and eliminating bad bacteria even if they do not multiply alive. Thats why there is a decent amount of reason to eatctobacillus.


    If so, maybe one should only make a fertilizer that only grows what they want to grow. But, does a fertilizer like that exist?


    Ellen shed that thought in her mind.


    Correct. Good idea


    What Ellen is talking about is a new idea called prebiotics. One only need to take good bacteria from the outside, and take those that would help multiply the good bacteria that is already inside the gut flora.


    Oligosharides and dietary fiber are such prebiotic foods.


    Ill think of a menu that nch would like


    And there, what Falma thought of wasssi. It can easily be made by mixing yogurt, milk, lemon, and honey. Honey contains oligosharides, and yogurt containsctobacillus.


    And when he served that to nche together with grapes that contain oligosharides during dinner,


    No, I hate milk


    nche pouted and refused.


    Why do you hate it?


    I hate its taste, I just cant drink it


    It looks like she does not like its taste. She probably doesnt like it very much; she was trying to get distance from it.


    I thought youd say that, so I added honey. You love honey right?


    Falma convinced nche.


    Un


    nche started to drink thessi albeit looking very reluctant.


    Its sweet and delicious! Its as if its not milk!


    It was as if a special, sweets-like drink.


    It looks like her hate of milk was ovee in an instant. Shes still too naive, Falma thought.


    After that, thessi was also served to Lotte and the others in the pharmacy.


    Its great eating it with curry huh! It lessens the spiciness


    Ah, I forgot about thatbination! You would see it a lot at curry stores


    And just like that,ssi is now served together with curry during meal times.


    For what happened to nche after that, it was said that she stopped having bad stomach after some time, and is now eating curry withssi on the other hand.


    And, curry became a ssic menu of the de Mdicis Family.


    The mother Beatrice and the father Bruno loved the menu very much that they would ask for seconds, although they usually do not.

 Volume 3 - Ch 6.1

    A carrier pigeon arrived to Falma who was carrying out his Different World Pharmacys regr business together with the news he had been waiting for.


    The pharmaceutical factory in Marseille was finallypleted.


    Its built so quickly


    Falma had believed that he would wait for years, but the result was it waspleted after half a year it had started.


    Falma-kun, youre a young master so its different. Also, the Empire and the Temples investments were huge too


    Ellen somewhat awed by Falma would gather everything he needs using the assets he earned himself, without even relying on the assets of his family.


    But even though he was like that, he would not use most of his money for his own individual entertainment.


    Ellen analyses that his unselfishness gathered more and more supporters and worshippers.


    Within the world where many nobles spend all their time to fatten their pockets, Falma showed a surprising unselfishness. He was not a child who was clueless about the world, one that just doesnt know how to increase his fortune.


    What are you going to make in the factory? Swee


    Lotte covered her mouth that almost spout out sweets. It looks like it was an involuntaryment.


    Its not sweets. Its medicine


    Falma smiled at her clich idea.


    I-I know right!


    Lotte was so embarrassed that she was red to her ears.


    Soon after thepletion, the preparations are being done with the instruments and equipment needed for manufacturing and experimenting are ordered from their respective suppliers. Falma himself used the Medicine God Staff to fly to quickly carry precision equipment, while therge equipment is carried by carriages. He also used his Substance Creation ability. Although the interior is yet to bepleted, the structure and facilities themselves arepleted.


    Besides that, Falma asked the acting lord of Marseille, Adam, to hire 200 factory workers locally. After most of the factory equipment was installed, Falma visited San Flueve Empire Medicine Academy.


    He received several actinomycete strains from Professor Casper chosen explicitly for antibiotic production, and he will be transporting them for mass production.


    Professor Casper, who met with Falma, entrusts him three strains that she chose with confidence. She looked reluctant to part with them.


    I will be leaving them to you, Professor de Mdicis. I hope that they would be of patients use


    Falma who was being called as a professor is yet to get used to being addressed as such.


    But even so, he thought that it was thoughtless if he corrected her right now.


    I have certainly received them, Professor Casper. I will take responsibility for scaling up these strains, and make them an antibiotic formtion. I promise that those medicines will be of patients help


    They are strains found with everyones effort. I will leave them to you


    Professor Casper seemed as if she was handing over her own child.


    The box was wrapped with a ribbon.


    And the following names were written on the box.


    Casper-chan No.1


    Eric-kun No.2


    Alexis-kun No.3


    Ellen suddenly asked Falma who was preciously holding the box entrusted to him by Professor Casper while they are being shaken by the carriage going to Marseille.


    Whats this, who?


    She saw the three names written on top of the box.


    I think that its the name of the strain of actinomycetes. The name of the discoverer and the order of discovery is written. Professor Eric and Assistant Alexis are also co-researchers of this research


    Falma interpreted while thinking of the names of the researchers engaged in the research.


    Eh?! Are bacteria also named?


    The name of the discoverer and the order it was discovered is written.


    Falma looked at the letter of exnation attached separately, and just like he thought, it was the name of the strains taken from Professor Casper and the other discoverers names.


    Thats an interesting way of naming it


    What genial professors, Ellenughed.


    Un, well, I understand the feeling of using the names of the inventor on their inventions


    (I guess I should unify the nomentureter. I wish they at least added a generic name. Just calling them Casper is fine too)


    Since it was the names given by Professor Casper and the others, Falma decided to give it a silent approval for the moment.


    Using the names of the discoverer is an honor as well as their privilege. And it was not like it needs to be like this. This is a different world, so there was no rule that it must follow Earths style.


    And Falma himself, in his past life, had several new antibiotic strains of bacteria named after him. He named them ording to the nomenture, but he cannot tell Professor Casper that, and he understands how happy she is.


    Thats true. This bacteria is special, right? Im sure that they put on many efforts to find and increase these bacteria


    Ellen said so, tellingpliments to Professor Casper.


    Its Professor Casper and her assistants great aplishment


    By the way, where do bacterial strains exist?


    Wait a second


    Falma smiled mischievously, asked the carriage to stop, got off, and walked towards the side of the road without hesitance.


    What? Are you peeing?


    Oh, what should I do, Ellen looked away. Falma rubbed off the surface of the ground using his shoes, picked up a handful of soil, and showed it to Ellen after he returned to the carriage.


    Ellen who looked at the soil thought dont tell me.


    Look, its here


    Eh? Youre saying that it might be here? The bacterial strains?


    Its not might be. Its full of it


    Falma moved the fingers of the hand he used to pick up the soil. Ellen felt her back turn itchy.


    Hiiii! How can you carry that, Falma-kun! Arent you disgusted?


    It would seem that Ellen felt that way. She shivered in disgust. Falma threw away the soil and washed his hand with the water he created using divine arts and returned to the carriage. The carriage started to run again.

 Volume 3 - Ch 6.2

    Inside the carriage, Lotte isfortably sleeping while drooling. She would repeatedly say the usual Falma-sama, I cant eat anymore, munyamunya, and I guess just a bit more after all.


    It would be better to just leave her like that.


    No, well, soil is like that. Many bacteria, fungi, and microorganisms live everywhere. Or perhaps I should say, even our skins have countless bacteria


    By the way, those microorganisms has a purifying effect on soil, Falma exined.


    But, the strains that Professor Casper chose are especially excellent elites


    Professor Casper and her helpers are looking forward to the extract of the active substance of the bacteria turning into medicine and be administered to patients.


    The following three is what Professor Casper and the others found.


    Caspar-chan #1 / Caspar, No.1


    Its scientific name on Earth is streptomyces griseus.


    Streptomycin producing microorganism candidate.


    antituberculous drug. Effective for tuberculosis, leprosy, bubonic gue, etc.


    Eric-kun #2 / Eric, No.2


    Its scientific name on Earth is streptomyces mediterranei.


    Rifamycin producing bacteria candidate.


    semi-synthesized to rifampicin, effective for tuberculosis, leprosy, etc.


    Alexis-kun #3 / Alexis, No.3


    Its scientific name on Earth is streptomyces peucetius.


    Doxorubicin producing bacteria candidate.


    antitumor agent (malignant lymphoma, lung cancer, gastrointestinal cancer, breast cancer, dder tumor, osteosaa, and a wide range of effects)


    Although Professor Caspar and the others do not know the specific effects of those drugs, Falma knows.


    What an amazing effect. It sounds like a lie hearing that white gue, ck gue, and even cancer can be cured


    Its not a lie. Bacteria strains possess such power


    Falma-kun or Professor Casper, how did you know those drugs can be made with those bacteria? How did you narrow it down to these three?


    If one were to ask how they were identified (find out that drug), it was not like Falma did aplicated analysis.


    Even one of his cheat abilities, the Magnifying Eyes, cannot see the structure of apound.


    And so, he simply used his Erase ability.


    By using his erase ability in a reverse way, it can also be used in distinguishing drugs.


    Falma chanted all the names of the antibiotic he knows and what disappeared is the drug. It is a very urate way of identification.


    However, Falma was not satisfied with that. He thought that he must think of other inspection methods for the people of this world.


    Hey, how?


    Eh? Ah, thats still a secret. Ill tell you when the time is right


    Falma had not prepared an answer to Ellens simple question.


    Whats with that, dont treat me like a stranger in this topic, tell me how


    Haha, Im sorry


    He could only cover it up with augh.


    You, really, then, tell me if its that time okay?


    Well, anyways. Its amazing that Professor Caspar and the researchers of the medicine academy could find this much. There are 2 antibacterial agents and 1 carcinostatic agent!


    Falma returned to the topic and showed how he was impressed.


    Although Falma and Professor Caspar were the ones leading the team, they were able to find useful antibiotics in a short period. If Professor Caspar had it researched individually, it would have taken tens of years.


    (With this, even if I disappear, the people of this would have the means to fight against disease.)


    Falma could not hold back his joy. The work he needs to do would probably decrease one by one from now on.


    However, he thought that he could not be too pleased by this.


    I need to make it reach the point where it can be mass produced!, Falma cheered.


    The whole academy took action, gathered many researchers for a single research, so its really amazing


    That was unprecedented!, Ellen groaned.


    It was said that most of the researchers had interrupted their own research and participated. That was also something impossible.


    However, it changed to something like a treasure hunt.


    If they be the first one to discover, their name shall be bestowed. They were probably blinded by the honor they would receive.


    Having a medicine with your own name, I want it too


    Ellen was mesmerized. She believes that she saw the determination of the San Flueve Empire Medicine Academy and Brunos seriousness. Even now, the Medicine Academy continues their big project of discovering bacteria that can produce other antibiotics. It is said that even theNorbatz University of Medicine is focused on the movements of the Empires Medicine Academy.


    You should just search for it, search for Ellen-chan #4 bacteria. Ill teach you how


    Falma suggested to Ellen with a serious face.


    Ill search for something other than bacteria


    Ellen who feels disgusted with bacteria wave her hands and immediately refused.


    Thats very Ellen


    Doing things like that, the staff of the Different World Pharmacy spent a whole day traveling to Marseille and inspected the factory that was justpleted.


    Its name is also called Different World Pharmacy Marseille Factory, which was named as it was.


    After passing through the front gates of the factory, Falma, Ellen, Lotte, and Cedrick was weed by Adam, the acting lord, and the one appointed to build the factory.


    Wee, Falma-sama. You must be tired after a long journey


    Thank you for your arrangements, Adam-san


    Falma used his Medicine God Staff to go back and forth between the imperial capital and Marseille, so he has seen thepletion of the factory, but this is the first unveiling for the other staff.


    The factory that is built with stone, boasting a vast site area, had spread in front of their eyes.


    Woah! This factory, its so vast!


    Lotte started saying things like she wants to run a wholep around the factory from end to end, but stopped by Cedrick, telling her that she would get exhausted. Falma also couldnt let her do that because it would be three kilometers around the factory and it is not suitable to do it with her shoes right now.


    It looks like a little pce, amazing! Its more vast than Falma-kuns mansion you know?


    Ellen also raised a voice of admiration.


    Being more vast than the site area of the de Mdicis Familys mansion, one could say that it is really impressive.


    There should be no other in this world, where both the government and its people had created a production base with such arge scale, with pharmacies, medicine stores, and drug stores making medicine for their patients after saying that, Ellen praised the Falmas achievements.


    It is such a fine thing


    Cedrick was also moved.


    Its exterior and facilities are the biggest among everything he had seen.

 Volume 3 - Ch 6.3

    After passing through the front yard of the pharmaceutical factory, they entered through the factorys entrance.


    Bu!


    Falma who was walking ahead burst out as soon as he entered.


    In the spacious entrance hall that one would see in hotels, there was the founder, Falma de Mdiciss real-size bronze statue!


    Whats this! This wasnt here a few days ago!


    Ellen and Lotte giggled at Falma who desperately protested.


    Ahh, it was donated by the Esthark Vige. It was justpleted recently. I ced it here, thinking that you would like it


    The acting lord Adam answered definitively.


    Adam said that there was gold donated from Esthark Vige with a message Please make the factory founders bronze statue., so he ordered for it to be made.


    Its really Esthark Vige!


    If its them, they might do such thing, Falma thought,feeling resigned.


    Falma-sama, please stand beside the bronze statue


    Lotte asked him and Falma stood beside it. The bronze statue was quite beautified. The hem of its white coat had looked like it flutters in the wind, while the statue is looking far ahead with crossed arms.


    Falma did the same pose as the statue. He also made a face.


    How is it?


    Falma asked the three while making a serious face.


    The statue looks more handsome


    Ellen and Lotte looked at each other and Cedrick smiled at him warmly. The founder staggered.


    Thats none of your business!


    If there is there inconvenience being ced her, shall I order it to be brought to the factorys front garden?


    Adam said with concern. However, Falma himself thought that it is a bit pitiable if his own statue was left outside under the sun and rain.


    Its fine here


    Leaving aside the jokes, they turned to look at the factory.


    The interior of the stone-built medicinal factory was divided into rooms for each production process, and is thoroughly cleaned and has its cleanliness kept as to eliminate dust. On top of that, Falma had cast his Disease Destruction Sanctuary beforehand, increasing its cleanliness furthermore. There would be bacteria strains going to be brought from now on, so Falma needs to be very careful when casting his holy field to not sterilize the actinomycetes and kill it.


    The professors that took care of the bacteria as if they were their children would be very very angry.


    Although there is no electrical system,pared to the humble research facility of the Different World Pharmacy and the Empires Medicine Academy, it is considerably modernized. For the mass cultivation of actinomycetes, a pharmaceutical manufacturing nt consisting of severalrge tanks and pipelines was necessary. For pilot nt tests, tests were conducted with harmless bacterial species at the Empires Medicinal Academy. Currently, arge number of artisans and engineers are hired, building 5 nts. It would still take time before these nts to bepleted and fully operational.


    The group came to theboratory attached to the pharmaceutical factory inside the factory site. It is a research facility with an aseptic room.


    Professors Caspars bacteria, let me see!


    After entering the aseptic room after washing their hands, putting on gloves, and wearing clean clothes, Ellen said with great interest. Lotte and Cedrick changed as well and watched them although they could not understand.


    I want to see it too. Lets open it


    After wiping the box with alcohol, the pink ribbon was removed, and the box where Professor Caspars children were opened.


    What came out was six Petri dishes. A te nted with actinomycetes strain. After that was the test te as the antibiotic. nted in the middle of the agar petri dish filled with bacteria was the various actinomycetes.


    And as if to surround those actinomycetes was a circle made of other bacteria.


    Actinomycetes develop antibiotics that suppress the growth of other bacteria, creating an antibiotic production region called growth inhibition circle where other bacteria cannot grow.


    Whats this circle, its cool


    Ellen understood what it meant and nodded.


    Right?


    Around here, why are fluffy ones not growing?


    It looks like Lotte also found it strange.


    Ellen seems to have changed the way she looks at actinomycetes.


    That was an ability that actinomycetes acquired in the process of its evolution as a result of its struggle for existence.


    Around these circle, are the antibiotics being produced right at this moment?


    Its easy to tell since it can be seen with the naked eye, Ellen was impressed.


    Thats right


    From a third-person perspective, they were a weird group peeking at a te with mold.


    However, they are inside the pharmaceutical factory so there is no problem.


    Actinomycetes are really great huh


    Ellen looked at them fervently.


    We will increase this bacteria torge quantities, and extract and purify antibiotics therefrom


    After Falma spoke, Lotte continued his words.


    By doing that, we can make medicine for everyone whos troubled!


    What Lotte who jumped in excitement said was exactly they n to do.


    (Thats right. Were going to make a lot of medicine from now on. Now using my cheat powers, but using the powers of the people of this world)


    Falma braced himself.


    It was the first step to establishing pharmaceutical technology in this world.

    Note: Hello guys, we just started to trante Different World Pharmacy. Since our trantor didnt read all the chapters, we need your help on some rification. Please join our discord on our website to help us out. This will help us in tranting the chapters faster. Thank you.


    There are 199 newly hired factory workers out of the 200 that we have gathered here.


    Adam disyed a newly modified roster of factory workers to Falma, who was currently visiting a factory in Mercedes territory. There was one worker who could note due to a physical condition.


    Out of the workers gathered here, 80% of them were male while the remaining 20% were women, and they all possessed clerical, technical, and manufacturing ability. In other words, they were ordinary factory workers. A Production Manager needed to have medicinal knowledge, so the person selected must be a first-ss pharmacist who had been drafted from Teito and hand picked by Falma or a graduate from the Imperial Pharmaceutical School.


    Thank you, you have done a good job.


    Only Falma could hire this many workers at once. Normally it is harder to hire this many people


    Ellen was impressed with Falmas excitement and financial strength.


    I do not really understand, but Falma is amazing.


    Lotte believed that there was nothing impossible for Falma when he decided to do it. Her reaction was exaggerated, but also serious.


    Since you said that the workers must be a healthy person who can calcte, read, and write, I decided to follow your wishes; all of them are excellent workers and there are some engineers who have experience in the wine factory.


    Adam continued his exnation as he disyed the roster.


    I will go greet everyone.


    Adam directed Falma and others to a brand new auditorium where the recruits had been gathered, from which one could hear the sound of many of irritated people. The auditorium was asrge as an elementary school gymnasium and was a ce to hold workshops, morning meetings, ceremonies, conferences, and so on.


    Here he is, our founder!


    Adam opened the door with such impact that the auditorium quieted down. Since the stage was positioned at the front of the auditorium, Adam brought Falma and Ellen to the ground level and introduced them briefly. As Lotte and Cedric were not pharmacists, they watched on from the top of the auditorium.


    I present to you, Falma de Medicis, a foreign pharmacist shop owner, court pharmacist, founder of the factory, and Eleonor Bonufoa, the first pharmacist of the pharmacy.


    During the introductions, Ellen stepped a short distance away from Falma and bowed.


    Thank you.


    Falma also bowed to them.


    (What is this feeling?)


    Falma felt that there were a lot of people looking at him. They were excellent and talented people who had passed Adams test and had a proper education. They were not some ignorant workers. That being the case, their pride was also high.


    Falma heard a curious voice among the workers say that he was a child.


    Adam red at them, but he didnt know who said it.


    (Well, I am a child.)


    Naturally, strong-minded Falma did not care at all. Since his appearance was that of a child, it was natural that he would be treated as such.


    In addition, we have decided to take on Falma-san as a professor at the Imperial Pharmaceutical School next year.


    With a good-natured smile, Adam pointed to those from whom he had heard rude words.


    Apparently, he seemed to have taken them poorly.


    When the workers heard that, they calmed down and closed their mouths.


    Intelligence.


    As a university professor, being in a Knowledge ss professor is the highest honorary position. No matter whose son you were, even if you had money, you couldnt be appointed there without a good performance and ability.


    No one questioned Falmas abilities.


    (Everyone is weak against titles.)


    Well, I got introduced as the pharmacist and manager of a foreign pharmacy


    Despite feeling somewhat awkward, Falma tried to give a new greeting when a surprised voice rang out from the crowd.


    Medicine God!


    Wow!


    On hearing this, Falma screamed unexpectedly. Looking at those who came up, he saw that several vigers of [Estherk vige] who had been employed. One of them had noticed and made a noise, so it seemed that everyone noticed it.


    When he visited Estherk vige, Falma had masked his appearance because he was traveling incognito, but his voice gave him away so he gave up.


    As things stood, they had pushed themselves up to the stage, and they were likely to even pick up Falma.


    Why did you alle here all the way from Estherk vige!? Its pretty far from here!


    The difficulty of Falmas work there had been extreme.


    Since the day I was healed by Medicine God, I understood the importance of drugs in sustaining the body. It is for this reason that I wanted to contribute to society through pharmaceuticals.


    One of the vigers rubbed his nose.


    It seemed that after the ck Death incident was resolved, the public health and sanitation had undergone a reform and be a conscious consideration for the vigers.


    That being said, Estherk vige is a ce where people do a lot of fishing. Even though the main fishing industry is still good, I wanted to move away. I wanted to be like you.


    Well, I did not think that I can meet the Medicine God again! Please shake hands with me!


    Stupid, I am afraid of shaking hands, Falma thought to himself


    A random person shouted I wonder, are you nning to make medicine for the ck Death at this factory?


    The vigers began trumpeting the achievements of Falma while gathering in front of the altar saying, Please let me greet you first.

 Volume 3 - Ch 7.2

    Trantor: Ese


    Editor: Melon Soda


    Ellen seemed to be smiling at Falma who was stuck in the heat of the Estherk vigers celebrations. Cedric gently smiled, and Lotte was still unable to understand what was going on.


    Pleasee toEstherk vige. I made a golden statue for you and I hope youll like it


    Falma gave the vigers a futile smile. He could not simply say, I have seen it already.


    Hey, people of Estherk vige, what is this Medicine God business? Why do you call that shopkeeper a Medicine God? Is that his name?


    The local workers who did not know the circumstances naturally asked as they could not follow the conversation.


    Well, listen, actually he is!


    He is over there!


    Through the members of Estherk vige, the identity of Falma was instantaneously known.


    Thats how I was saved from the ck Death.


    Please take a look at these goods!


    People of Estherk vige showed the goods to Falma. The statue had be a miniature toy. Everyone had one.


    What is that!?


    Then one viger presented the charm to Falma.


    Medicine God Charm, this was created so then everyone can have one.


    The charm was a smaller version of the statue of the god. They attached them to bags, and made nes our of them. Falma sighed. It seemed that they are going to mass produce this toy after all.


    Please do not sell them!


    The Estherk vige seemed to have begun to make a vige dedicated to a legendary god.


    You are too loud! Line up in numerical order!


    As things were starting to get ridiculous, Adam made them line up as before and restarted.


    I am just a manager. The im that I am a medicine god is aplete misunderstanding, so please do not misunderstand


    As Falma thought it would be troublesome, thus he denied it for the first time.


    The vigers of Estherk vige thus did not agree. The vigers did not believe him since his aplishment doesnt reflect what he said.


    Falma gave a speech and stated what the corporate philosophy was and what the long-term goals were. Falmas speech was full of enthusiasm.


    So, Diversis Mundi Pharmacy will protect the lives of people around the world through drug discovery.


    Ellen rubbed her eyes. The speech was getting boring. Many people were beginning to topple over.


    Falma saw it and looked into the eyes of workers who had begun to snooze.


    How are you guys!


    He shouted out loudly.


    Yes!


    The workers shouted back in vigorous voices.


    Well, who is not healthy?


    Huh?


    The same voices as before echoed back.


    I am healthy!


    Falma pressed his hand against his chest.


    Then I will ask you, if you think you are healthy, please raise your hand


    Everyone vigorously raised their hands.


    Okay! I understand!


    Falma looked at all the workers. Every worker had a name tag with their staff number and name written on it. Falma gazed at them gently and began to write down numbers on arge form of paper on the bulletin board on the tform with great anger.


    What are those numbers for?


    A game.


    You may be about to start an incredible climb in position.


    Are they candidates for a supervisor? Is it a pay raise?


    Workers scratch their heads and spread optimistic spections. When Falma finished writing the numbers, he stood with the bulletin board at his back.


    Ok, could people with matching numbers please step over there.


    The workerspared their employee number and the numbers on the board.


    Hit, it matched!


    You passed!


    Those whose numbers matched the board were separated from the crowd.


    Falma was inwardly confident in the results, and the announcement was definitely not for a promotion.


    The people who have stepped forward are ones with a healthy body.


    Eh!?


    The workers were rather gloomy. Only about 30% of workers hade forward.


    What this told Falma was that the majority of workers were not healthy. All of the workers had a small health problem. The problems ranged from caries to lifestyle diseases.


    The workers who did not make it turned pale.


    Such a farce! I am healthy! There is nothing wrong with anything!


    Falma looked calmly over at the man who protested over the result.


    You have Hepatitis; your liver has an inmmation.

 Volume 3 - Ch 7.3

    With tears, Falma told a cruel fact.


    The liver is an organ of silence. The man doesnt notice the progress of the condition.


    What is a liver?


    The man asked.


    Falma was aware of future tasks such as teaching basic knowledge of anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, etc. to the workers, even though they were coarse. So he started to carefully exin what Hepatitis was to the man.


    Even if you think that you yourself are healthy, the disease wille creeping in unexpectedly, so please do not forget to work hard to know the state of your body and be healthy. Everyone, lets create a medicine to save this patient with me.


    Falma closed off his greeting.


    Anyway


    The overall mood had changed to a dull one.


    Falma ordered everyone to go outside of the auditorium.


    Its nice weather, so please rx.


    Falma spoke to them, went back to the carriage, and returned with Adam, who was carrying the baggage. He then took out a wooden box from the baggage.


    Falma, what is that?


    This is a photo machine (Camra).


    What is that?


    Ellen asked the same question twice.


    Its a device to copy thendscape of this world onto paper.


    Falma showed a small piece of film to Ellen, Lotte, and Cedric. It was a picture of Falma. Falma hastaken a picture of himself as to try out the camera. It was a ck and white photograph.


    Is this a painting?


    Although it was ck and white, Lotte assumed that the picture was a painting, and she was surprised that there was no evidence of brush strokes.


    Its not a painting, its a picture


    What?


    Falma briefly exined the principle of photography. For his trial, he had adopted the use of a pinhole camera. He had drawn a needle-thin hole in a box so light could not enterpletely, and set inside it a ss photographic te in a box filled with ck ink. On the photographic dry te, a mixture of a photosensitive material containing potassium bromide, silver nitrate, and the like werebined into a gtin-like mixture and applied to the ss.


    Why did you not include us if you were making such a thing?


    Ellen interrogated Falma jokingly.


    I did not know if it would work, but today we have a good condition with good sunlight, and I think that I can take a beautiful picture, so lets take a picture.


    In front of the factory, Falma chose a ce where he could see all of it.


    Once the location was decided, he measured various distances and attached the wooden box to the tripod stand. Falma divided the 200 or so workers into 5 groups of 40 each. The workers were suspicious of what they were doing. The first group arranged themselves in 4 rows of 10.


    Those in the front row, sit down. Those in the middle, please kneel, and those at the rear please remain standing.


    Falma stood behind the wooden box and gave instructions to the workers while looking at the whole scene, and thought about the approximate exposure time to sunlight. Pinholes had a small exposure zone, but the photographic tes were sensitive to light, so the exposure time could only be several seconds long.


    I will now take a group picture of each group. Please look at this box and do not move for a second.


    Since the workers were told not to move, their faces were stiff.


    The exposure and shooting was entrusted to Adam. Falma, Ellen, Lotte, and Cedric were settled in the center of the screen.


    Everyone, with a smile.


    It turned out to be somewhat artificial, but Falma was still able to take pictures. As there were few photographic tes prepared, only two pieces each, even if there was movement, there was no redo.


    It seemed like I could shoot a group photo.


    They finished shooting all the groups safely.


    Thank you very much.


    Falma ordered Adam to distribute the manual for Curing Lessons of Diversis Mundi Pharmacy that had been printed by the printing machine.


    Please read the material carefully.


    People who were diagnosed with an illness wouldter be given a treatment, so they decided to wait for instructions from Adam.


    When those workers with serious health conditions received a new staff certificate from Adam, they were allowed to return home for three and a half days to rest.


    Lotte and Cedric helped Falma clear up photos while being surrounded by the vigers of Estherk vige.


    Show me what I took a while ago!


    Ellen asked Falma.


    I am looking forward to it!


    You cannot see it yet, I have to develop it.


    Ellen was bbergasted with Falmas exnation about the photographic process.


    In addition to this task, Falma, youll have to do a lot of workers examinations. You also have more work to do, will you be fine?


    Ellen smiled wryly and hoped for the time when he would no longer be like this.


    The health of the workers is critical, as nt factory workers may contaminate every product of the factory with an infectious disease. Also, if we do not take pictures of the employees, a suspicious person may infiltrate and I will not know who that person is when we are at work.


    You should issue such identification.


    With photographs.


    Falma nned to cut out people from group photos one by one and issue identification with a photo.


    At the factory, we handle a lot of toxic substances andbustibles. We cannot allow invasion by suspicious individuals. Security had to be thoroughly managed.


    Long time no see, medicine God.


    A voice from somewhere struck Falmas ears.


    The person getting off a horse was a priestess of the Goddess of the Fire, Kiara. She had left Estherk vige and was heading for the imperial capital and was the priestess who had relieved Falma by giving him food.


    Ah, Mrs. Kiara, I am still indebted to you.


    No, no, its nothing


    When Falma lowered his head, Kiara also lowered her head like a beetle.


    What are you doing in such a ce? You are a priestess.


    While Falma was pleased with at reunion, and at the same time, he was extraordinarily worried that she will be emunicated.


    I applied as a worker because, like the people in Estherk vige, I have something to pursue at a pharmaceutical factory. I will serve you because I will be training and studying; a sry is not needed.


    Kiara was a medical priestess who originally performed charity at the clinic.


    Although she was a medical priestess who did not have the special skill of healing; it was more urate to call her a nurse, she was exempt from punishment as she had permission from the temple to leave. Naturally, the practice of pharmaceuticals was the reason why the temple had approved her request.


    Are you training?


    Oh, Mr. Falmas acquaintance?


    Ellen pinched her mouth.


    Ellen found it strange that Kiara was so afraid.


    Oh, Mrs. Kiara is a priest of the fire attribute right?


    Sorry to keep you waiting.


    Kiara keeps putting her hand on her chest.


    Are there other medical priests or priestessesing in?


    She told them that medical priests and priestess of all attributes were said to havee to train.


    That is good, there is something I want you to do with your God Skill.


    Falma started.


    With the use of God Arts, it seemed that the manufacturing process of pharmaceuticals was considerably improved and the costs reduced.


    The Divine Art of Fire would be able to heat the drugs and sterilize them. The Divine Maniption of Wind would be responsible for drying the medicine. The Divine Art of Water would cool down the water by passing it through the pipe or could be used to store the products at a low temperature with the Divine Art of Ice. Falma had never had never thought of using God Arts in the pharmaceutical process until now, but if one thought about it, this was a world where god art exists.


    They couldpensate for shorings of pre-industrial factories and theck of power.


    Well, I will definitely help you.


    Kiara looked happy.


    Thank you. Lets expand the employment framework to god operations so that we can shift systems.


    A few dayster, above the entrance of the Mercedes Factory of a Diversis Mundi Pharmacy, arge ck and white group photo showing all the staff was posted.


    The factory workers received identification cards with their photos and boasted to their families.


    Pictures are fun, Eleonore-sama!


    I did not know until developing that it would be this exciting.


    I wish I could take more of Falma because he is a beautiful boy.


    I am not good at photos.


    Ehhh, the inventor is!?


    Ellen and Lotte liked the camera. They changed poses, changed locations, took a picture, and took a lot of pictures. It was said that Cedric had improved his photography skills considerably because he was drawn into photographing almost every day. However, although it was quick to take a picture, its development was not as simple. They felt that it was impossible to let Falma handle the development work, so they mastered the development technology and started printing themselves.


    Falma admired the girls since they could do self-portrait photography at any time.


    You can make the worlds first photo collection.


    I guess there are also people buying photo magazines and selling them inbination with a copier already. When Falma suggested this looking at the massive pile of photographs of the two people, theyughed.


    Before that, shouldnt you make her Majestys photo collection first?


    Hearing the words of Ellen, Falma turned pale.


    Ah


    Did you forget? You are absolutely not allowed to make a photo album earlier than that of her Majestys.


    Please do not forget about your Majesty!


    Falma made a note that he had to give the camera to the Empress first without fail when he returned from Mercer.

 Volume 3 - Ch 8.1

    Falma, who came back from Mercedes Territory, devoted himself to the diagnosis and medication of employees at the pharmaceutical factory.


    He was going back and forth between the Imperial Capital and Mercedes Territory to confirm prescription, follow-up check-ups, and the construction situation of the nt inside the factory.


    And Falma remembered to present the camera and the pictures to the Empress.


    In the court, it seems that Falma is known as an inventor rather than court pharmacist.


    The Empress liked the photographs a lot and had the courtiers take pictures of the royal family, so it may be really a matter of time for the photo album to be released.


    Falma also heard that Prince Louis liked the camera and pictures to the point that he created a photobook under the supervision of his mother.


    Unexpectedly, the empress may be a photogenic woman. Though he thought of such a sad thing, she was not just a photogenic woman.


    She first began to record the cityscape of Imperial Capital.


    In the history of the earth, as soon as the camera was invented, they started to record the streets of France.


    ording to Lottes story, it seems that the portrait painters in the Court Studio will be dismissed as a result of the invention of the photograph. Naturally, it is said that the grudge of painters is directed towards Falma who invented the photograph. But the portrait painters cannot do something to Falma before the Empress.


    [I wonder if I did the right thing   It was bad for the painters]


    Since presenting his inventions to Empress Elizabeth is mandatory, the invention he made for personal purpose immediately shakes the center of the Imperial Capital. Because it was somewhat imaginable, Falma feels apologetic for portrait painters. Nevertheless, the appearance of photographs, impressionism, post-impressionists, cubism, etc. In Earth, changes its art world, so there will also be some change in the art world of this world.


    Due to the features and advantages of a camera, the profit produced should be quiterge.


    As a result, the Surrealistic Style of a Court Painter Dale and the Art Nouveau style of Lotte are further reviewed and evaluated, so even portrait painters who are working on research that is highly original and highly non-realistic began to emerge. That is what Falma predicted for the future in Lottes story. As the technology evolves, art also changes. However, in the span of two years, it may have been somewhat too quick.


    [Lets stop inventing color photos for a while]


    Perhaps a painter who colors the photograph maye out, and I do not want to buy extra grudges and get stabbed them.


    Due to the event that changed the Imperial Capital, Falma got a holiday, so he was preparing to go out alone on that day.


    Falma-sama, where are you going?


    Oh, hey.


    Because Lotte was an early riser, she was wearing her servants clothes neatly. As usual, she was serving as a servant of the de Medicis family. She had also taken care of Falma and nche to reduce his workload. Since Lotte is the one that wakes up Falma and brings his change of clothes, it was hard for Falma to go out in the morning with his best condition if she wasnt there.


    Lotte helped Falma to wear his clothes


    [I can wear my clothes at least by myself Im sure it wasmon for an aristocrat to be clothed with the help of someone else.]


    As Lotte polished his boots and put on his coat, Falma was thinking how to shake her off. And Lotte prefers to do the job rather than leaving it to other servants.


    Well, looks like nche is entangled


    nche who is feeling sleepy came out with pajamas while hugging her doll.


    Please wait a moment nche-sama, you will have a change of clothes for now. Then well have your breakfast, I will also give you a Lassi; your favorite sweet Lassi


    Lotte smiled at nche.


    Hai (Yes)


    [Is nche sleepy, her eyes seems to be blushing as she nods.]


    Brother, where are you going?


    nche wants to know to know where Falma is going since he didnt tell his destination.


    A little walk, I will be back by noon.


    Wow! nche will also go too!


    Im sorry my dear, you cant go


    Aww (nche)


    Take care (Lotte)


    Lotte apanied Falma out to the door and bows.


    [I somehow managed to shake off the two of them.]


    Prepare the carriage immediately, Ill go to the Guardian Shrine of the Saint Flueve Empire


    The chief priest came to the pharmacy every day, and there would be a bit of amotion if Falma were to be found, so he did not go to the church voluntarily, but today he decided to consult them about his troubles.


    As for that trouble


    It is hard to be called Medicine God from everywhere. Falma sighed


    It was the truth.


    Although Falma had numerous special abilities, he thought that he was not a Medicine God.


    However, although having numerous abilities is advantageous, being treated as Medicine God from everywhere was also a pain.


    It was about Lotte, nche, and mother. They treat him the best. Thats why he was most hesitant to touch them. To know that the real Falma was gone. Because Empress Elizabeth and Ellen understand his circumstances, it was important to him that there are few who understands him.


    [I want proof that can deny the im that Im a Medicine God and even if I am a genuine Medicine God, I have a certain attitude. A half-hearted state though is the best.]


    The Guardian Shrine was located in the center of the Imperial Capital near to the pce of Empress.


    Good morning ~


    Oh! Falma-sama, you are very wee


    The Chief Priest Solomon was preparing altars and ritual paraphernalia for the morning ritual, but he came to pick up Falma. The priests who received the visit of Falma seemed to be happy. That excessive worship was also somewhat annoying to Falma.


    I want to talk to the chief priest today


    When Falma entered the church, the floor of the church still shone pale.


    [After all, the church is hard to do]


    Falma was sent to another room, and the priest-chief himself brought out tea and confectionery.


    Oh please, no need to do that


    Falma stopped the priest since offerings wille out more if he kept silent.


    So, what do you want to talk about today?


    I came here to ask information about Medicine God


    It is a strange thing that Medicine God himself does not know about it


    Of course, Solomon is more knowledgeable than him since Falma only retained his knowledge about his past life


    No, thats not what I am like.


    However, circumstantial evidence was beginning toe together.


    [I have a Medicine God ability, have a lot of cheat ability and I have no shadow. But I do not remember hearing revtions of bing a Medicine God, of course, Ill have no idea what it is.]


    When I met you for the first time, I was threatened with curses, so I thought you might be aware of that.


    The chief priestughed gently.


    That is the momentum and the atmosphere of the ce, its called bluffing


    Falma was stripped over his past ck history and became embarrassed.


    Is it good for you?


    The chief priest is convinced.


    In tradition, what kind of God was a Medicine God? First of all, why there is no shadow in the Medicine God?


    The Guardian God is described in the scriptures as the light itself, so it is inevitable that there is no shadow


    I see

 Volume 3 - Ch 8.2

    The chief priest brought the thick scriptures from another room and ced them in front of Falma. It was said that the scriptures with ornate decoration are as thick as the dictionary; it was a handwritten book and not the original manuscript. The chief priest summarized the parts of the scriptures that describe the Medicine God.


    The Medicine God suddenly appeared in the year before the epidemic.


    The god who borrowed the figure of a girl said that she was the Medicine God, and told people about the epidemic disease and said she gave the appropriate medicine to those who are sick.


    She had a perfect holy insignia in the shape of thunder in her right hand and flew in the sky with a staff.


    Medicine God was invulnerable, immortal and had a body that could pass through matter.


    She has the power to go back and forth between Heaven and Earth and sometimes returned to the heavenly world with the power of the holy spring.


    The Medicine God did note to Earth regrly, and at one point she went back to heaven never came back.


    It seemed that the Medicine God appeared only once a year.


    And only the Staff of Medicine God remained as a treasure.


    That was such a story  Thank you.


    [Its already been a year since my reincarnation. For now, there are no signs of disappearance.]


    How old was the medicine god?


    Falma who heard the Empress story suspected that it was a 10-year-old saint who appeared.


    I do not know that far, I have notmunicated with the girl


    In the end, it was not known whether the Medicine God was possessed by the girl or the God itself had descended to this realm.


    [The situation of my reincarnation a short time ago is the same as the legend of the Medicine God for I have spread the knowledge about the global epidemic as well the cure. Though I dont know if shes immortal]


    Falma understood the reason why those who saw his ability and his Holy Insignia recognized him as the Medicine God. Or rather, because he had seen quite a match from a long time ago, he cannot escape.


    [Aside from whether I am immortal or not, I do not even know how to go to Heaven.]


    There was also a hope that the heavenly realm would be this world.


    The Gods who came to this world had returned to Earth..


    If so, Falma thought that he himself, that he could return to Earth.


    Oh, thats right. Come to think of it, the other Guardian Gods alsoes to this realm frequently right?


    [Id love to consult with other Gods, perhaps it might be an inner Earthling person]


    When you are down here in this realm, no other gods wille down


    What!?


    Falma sighed in disappointment.


    Each Guardian God was said to descend to the Earth one by one. While the God of Medicine is in this realm, no other God shall descend. Until a few hundred years ago, it seems that something changed. Instead of descending down frequently, it was said that the Gods had note down recently. Before the gods disappeared, they left behind hidden treasures. So many treasures were left on this realm, and they seem to be only a relic because they cannot be used without being touched by human beings in general.


    So, only Falma-sama, or the God of Medicine, is the only God who now dwells in this realm. Its inspiring to be on the same realm with you, and what I mean is that you are very human, and its a miracle to just be able to see the way you live.


    ording to Solomons evaluation, it seems that Falma was supposed to be a human being.


    Are you observing me?


    All you have done and aplished in this world is obliged to be recorded by the priest of that time. Thats how the scriptures increase new pages


    Recording Falmas achievements. That seems to be one of Solomons job as a priest.


    Besides, its strange to say this to a God, but you have a surprisingly good personality.


    Solomon said that a God descending to the Earth was not necessarily a good God, and some of them turned one country into scorchednd and even massacred people. Considering that, the chief priest said that the advent of the God is wee.


    If it was like that, what do you think is the work of the medicine God?


    It is exactly what you are doing now, creating a number of medicines and healing people


    Solomon seemed to have misunderstood that Falma was doing work as a medicine God.


    I do not think that I am working.


    In other words  if you see sick people, you cannot leave them alone. Hmmm.


    The chief priest finally seemed to understand a little about Falmas conflict.


    In any case, I would like you to stay as long as possible in this world as long as you do not have a narrow mindset.


    I do not want to die again, I want to live healthier in this world


    It was a cry from Falmas heart.


    If it is hard, I think that you do not have to be bothered by being told that you are a Medicine God. Even if called so, think of it as your nickname


    Does that mean that I feel like I am?


    It seemed that the chief priest would say that hypocrites should think of two such names, as they used to call him a holy doctor on Earth.


    Nickname?


    It made Falmas whole heart at ease.


    I feel that the load of the shoulder has eased somehow.


    The Imperial Church will follow your heart and whenever you have trouble, go to the church


    Solomonughed because the church was originally a ce to help those who were troubled.


    Solomon promised that he would tell the priests not to make too much ruckus so that they would treat Falma normally. Of course, Solomon himself was included too.


    Its about time for the mass to begin. Then the replica of the great treasure will finally reach the church tomorrow


    Ill go see the replica


    No, no, Ill bring it to you


    Falma left the reception room,went through the chapel and then got out.


    What!?


    Falma saw the gathering of the believers in the church. 50% of the believers eye were bloodshot. Some people were unconsciously eyeing. The fingers that touched the seats and the doors of the church were those with the congested eye. That was how the viral infection spread.


    Everyones eyes are red.


    It was clear even without using the diagnosis eye.


    Epidemic Keratoconjunctivitis


    Eager believers have a higher rate of participation in rituals and worshipers, thus more likely to be infected.


    Please extend your sermon today, so that no one else goes out


    Have you seen a sickness?


    The chief priest notices that his eyes are red.


    Its a sickness of the eyes, this is prevalent.


    Do not return to your home alone


    The chief priest said Do not let anyone get out until the ceremony ends


    During the ceremony, Falma returned to his pharmacy using the carriage and prepared the antimicrobial medicine drops for the number of people.


    When the ceremony ended, Falma took a position at the entrance of the church; and the infected, who were found among the believers on their way home, were handed out the eye drops like petit gifts of the wedding party.


    Instructions for use of eye drops.A print was included with instructions such as how to spend the day while your eye was red, to make as little contact with others as possible, to not touch anywhere with the hand that touched your eye.


    Epidemic Conjunctivitis was caused by adenovirus infection and was very infective, so care must be taken not to spread the infection. Although there were no effective drugs for Adenovirus, It was possible to relieve symptoms by instilling antibiotics and steroids. After identifying the people with the terrible symptoms, Falma distributed the medicine.


    What is this?


    An olddy with a bright red eye ask.


    These are Eye drops. Ill give this to you because you are suffering from an epidemic eye disease. And this is also going to affect other people if you do not use it


    That reminds me, my wife also has a red eye.

 Volume 3 - Ch 9.1

    In 1147, New Year arrived at the residence of the de Medicis Family of Saint Flueve Empire. Falma was now 12 years old, and Lotte was 10 years old.


    Good morning Falma-sama


    Fuwa! Good morning What are you doing?


    When I woke up and saw Lottes face on the bedside, 10 cm in front of my eyes. I pulled my chin a little over the folded arm on the bed, swaying my face left and right.


    Oh, I was just looking at Falma-samas sleeping face.


    When the pink eysh shed his eyes, nonstop blinking. Falma thought that he was being a pervert but Lotte seemed to be happy just by being in the same space as him.


    Whats this?


    When I thought that my waist was getting cramped, nche dived on the bed; I didnt notice. The spoiled attitude of nche didnt seem to change that easily.


    Is it because its cold today?


    Lotte opened Falmas windows.


    Outside was a silver world; Saint Flueve Empire was now covered with snow.


    Oh, we have snow today. Its beautiful, but I want to get rid of it.


    Falma thought involuntarily, he wasnt good with Snow.


    Last winter, Falmas beloved horse slipped on the icy road. The horses were a four-wheeled-drive. He was watching the snowy road sweetly with a careless sense of mystery. Thanks to the falling horse, he stumbled and fell asleep for a day.


    Its snowing outside. I wish to rx at home. What will Lotte do today?


    The scenery in the garden is wonderful. I think Ill draw a picture


    Lotte was looking at the garden with her sparkling eyes.


    Looks like I cant erase the snow now since it will interfere with Lottes painting.


    Im going to get a good nights sleep. You can take your time.


    Other than that, the rest will be desk work from the shop.


    As New Year arrived, Falma thought it would be better if the Diversis Mundi Pharmacy took a break for a few days. So, Falma decided to spend the New Year at home after a long time.


    Falma-sama, what should you wear today?


    I will wear casual clothes because Im at home.


    Certainly.


    Lotte took out his clothes from the closet. As she had arranged the clothes with TPO (Time, ce, and asion) in mind, she would be saved in picking clothes. For example, if Falma were to participate in formal asions. However, if she were to neglect the arrangement of clothes and leave Falma on his own discretion, there would be trouble.


    That one!


    Lotte was now holding the clothes ruffled in fancy folds and cuffs. Since Lotte was a servant, she was interested in Falma and nches fashion. The reason was, she couldnt cloth herself with a fancy dress.


    Oh, I see.


    Looks like Lotte will be my servant for a while


    While asked to keep the button, Falma was troubled by Lottes gaze. Although they were still children, its embarrassing to be seen by Lotte while changing clothes. Lotte herself would be ufortable if thats to happen as they grow.


    Even if I say I could change clothes myself, I guess a scion mustnt change clothes by himself huh.


    Falma thought that itd be better if Lottes job as a caretaker were to be reced by her mother or a male servant. Theres no change in the fact that aristocratic life was a hassle.


    Lady nche will have her change of clothes.


    Hai (yes).


    Falma was dressed in simple clothes, while nches dress had frills on it. Both Falma and nche headed towards the dining room. He suddenly took the replica of the staff ID card from the wooden box on the desk. While going down the spiral staircase, nche wondered at a point.


    Older brother, why do you have that all the time?


    This is


    Whats so important about it, older brother?


    Its an important thing.


    In his previous life, its a must to put the ID card in the chest pocket of the white coat b gown). Since the ID card was also a key card to theboratory, it became a habit for him to always carry the ID necessary when moving around the room. Its just a replica, but that was a proof that he was anxious in the corner of his heart.


    I have to go out early.


    Falma thought of going to the Great Church to see the great treasure. Since it was said to be a treasure, its state might be different from the former employee ID card. The Great Church wasnt located in Saint Flueve Empire.


    The main shrine of the church was in a small city named Holy Land (Sacred Country).


    The Holy Land, like Vatican City, was a religious ce where only the priests could live. Although its necessary to cross the border, it was impossible to step in front of the Holy Land.


    ording to the chief priests story, going to the Great Church wasnt easy. Falmas existence was yet to be known by the Great Church. If it was known that he existed, he might be put under house arrest for fact that he was the precious treasure (Staff of Medicine God) of the Church.


    It was said that the chief priest who oversees the Great Church had a troublesome secret art of divination. He thought about sneaking at night and stole the great treasure when the security was very low.


    The Great Church was like a dungeon. Even if you entered as a robber during night time, you couldnt reach the location of the treasure. The chief priest said he was going to guide him. Falmas heart ached with the thought that a chief priest would guide him to steal the great treasure.


    It seems like I would be emunicated with Chief Priest Solomon if we crossed that dangerous scenario. A country consisting of priests was about to be discovered by just walking three paces.

 Volume 3 - Ch 9.2

    Moreover, its a dishonor to sneak using such a method and to be caught by trespassing normally. Falma entered the dining area and took a seat for breakfast.


    His parents were already awake; waited for him and nche to wake up. The dining table for the whole family was simple.


    It seems Palle ising home.


    While meals were being brought by the servants, his father told him a serious thing while reading the Imperial Newspaper.


    Father?!


    Falma and nche both took heavy news this time. They could feel their spines shivering.


    What to do?


    Escape?


    Escape!


    The siblings began making eye contact with each other. From the whip of his brothers love, nche wanted to run away with Falma. Falma cleared his throat to pretend he wasnt disturbed.


    Thats great, when will older brothere home?


    ording to his letter, hesing home today.


    His mother, Beatrice was in a good mood. His mother seemed to be d because she could see her son after a long time. From the views of his parents, Palle was an obedient and a cute son. By the way, his parents didnt know Pale was having fun with girls in Nova Root Pharmaceutical University.


    Ehhhhh?!


    It sounds like you wanted to be surprised.


    I dont need such a surprise!


    In his heart, he thought it was good to take a break from his work at the New Years holiday. His employee could inform him if there was an emergency, and then he himself would rush towards the pharmacy.


    After breakfast, Falma and nche gathered around the firece; restless.


    Lotte was dressed, sketching the garden on the terrace. It seemed she came up with a good design with a snow scene as a motif.


    Since its snowing today, will you be fine if big brother began confronting you (test Falmas abilities)?


    nche had a pale expectation.


    Before, it was just a heavy rain but now, a storm will be created.


    T/L: Refer to the oue of their fight.


    Falma didnt forget his confrontation with his older brother. His brother came back home once every six months. Falma was brought to a showdown each time he came back just to test his abilities. Last time, Palle couldnt win in front of the power of Staff of Medicine God. Palle could at leastst within 1-2 hours of serious battle against Falma.


    What was troublesome wasnt thebat action. The battle itself could be a good exercise but theprehensive that Palle wouldnt give up until KO was troublesome. Its hard for him to treat Palle who became muddy after their confrontation was done.


    Next time, Ill immediately begin to finish the fight in one hit


    Falma began thinking about such a dangerous thing. He felt like he could minimize the injury. Since Falma believed he would win, he didnt try stopping the confrontation of his brother.


    In the afternoon, he met his brother who came back with a follower; waited at the entrance with the family and servants.


    Im home.


    Looks like Palle became taller than before. Like Bruno, he seemed to be a member of high stature family; he became more robust.


    Wee home, my son


    Bruno squinted his eye to his sons growth.


    Its been a long-time father. I have a report.


    Palle said while putting an emphasis to his words.


    I graduated from Nova Root Pharmaceutical University as the top of the ss and passed the first-ss pharmacists examination.


    Palle proudly showed his parents the diploma in his bag and the badge of the first-ss pharmacist in a small box. Its the culmination of his many years of effort spent on harsh studies and divine art training at the Nova Root Pharmaceutical University.


    Magnificent; thats my son.


    Well, I did a lot of hard work to achieve this.


    Falma and nche celebrated greatly for their brothers honor. Palle looked happy. He seemed like an obedient brother in this scenario.


    I will show it to you too. How envious youre feeling right now


    Palle showed his badge to Falma and nche.


    So, this is the badge for the first-ss pharmacist of Nova Root.


    The badge on the cor of the same first-ss pharmacist Ellen was a badge with a seal of the Imperial School of Medicine. Slightly different in shape from the badge with the logo of the Nova Root Pharmaceutical University. The formality and status of the Nova Root Pharmaceutical University were higher than the Imperial School of Medicine. Since its a crown type, if Palle were to be a court pharmacist, his school of origin wouldnt be questioned.


    What are you going to do after graduating, are you going to study abroad?


    Bruno asked Palle for his future course. The first-born son, Palle was going to seed de Medicis Family whether he became a court pharmacist or a priest. Whatever his decision, practicing pharmaceutically or studying abroad wasnt an umon thing for a noble.


    No, I will be staying here in Imperial Capital to build up my foundation; aiming for court pharmacist while serving as an assistant to father


    What?! Brothersing back!


    Oh nooooo!!


    Falma and nche turned pale as they heard their brothers deration.


    Every day from now on, you will be facing me, Falma!


    Looks like I cant stop elder brother this time

 Volume 3 - Ch 9.3

    Trantor: Ese


    Palles image to the siblings was a Spartan older brother. Falma never neglected to practice his Divine Arts (God Skill) so as to keep his abilities in check. Having a mock battle with his elder brother every morning was considerably a time-consuming act.


    nche, who was listening to it, broke quickly between Falma and Palle.


    Well, elder brother, could you let me do the honor first?


    What?


    Palle made a strange face.


    What are you doing nche?


    Prior to Palles return, Falma asked nche not to tell their brother about his status in Imperial Capital.


    I am very busy, so I cant let elder brother mess up my schedule.


    Palle wavered to nches angelic smile.


    Looks like we cant help it, then Ill train you first. You know the drills so dont cry.


    If possible, I want you to do it nicely brother!


    Palle stroked nches head who pleaded with moistening eyes. For the moment, Falmas own morning special training seems to be avoidable.


    I will pick up your bones; do your best, nche.


    Falma thanked nche and prayed for her safety. On the afternoon of the heavy snowfall, Falma decided to attend his brother; ended up hanging out with his brother for 3 hours in the snow.


    Few dayster; Palle took Falma, nche, and Lotte to y in the yground of the Imperial Capital. Aside from Palles character of being arrogant and hot-blooded; hes a caring older brother. When Palle heard that the Empress had a public bath in the imperial pce, hes pleased to take a bath and was overwhelmed with it. They also yed snowball fights, sledding games, and climbing the winter mountain.


    After ying, Palle went back to the university to prepare for the graduation procedure.


    Haha, you dont have toe home for a while, elder brother.


    To hide through Palles eyes, Falma started the New Years work ceremony of the Diversis Mundi Pharmacy and opened the business. The usual regrs rush to the front of the gate before opening.


    Happy New Year Falma


    Ellen brought many souvenir gifts. Falma had his chin on the counter of the pharmacy. Lotte and nche seem like they wanted to doze.


    Whats wrong with you guys? Its New Year.


    yed too much


    Its unusual for you guys to y too much, why?


    Eleonore-sama, I smell something delicious!


    The delicious scent moved Lottes corpse like body.


    Oh, you smell that? Lotte-chan, Ive been enjoying food from my fathers domain.


    Ellen had been to her fathers territory Count Zeus during the holidays. Unusual cheese and sweets were distributed to Falma, Lotte, and Cedric as well as to the pharmacy staffs. Ellens fathers territory was a mountainous area like Switzend and the people made their living by pasturing and sightseeing.


    Its delicious! A rich and pungent odor ising back.


    Lotte could not stand the smell but still chewed her cheese.


    Ah, I will brush my teeth.


    Falma ate the cheese before opening. Hes worried about the smell at the time of business hours, so they brushed their teeth together. It seemed etiquette habits had been embedded to his body.


    Oh, so he came back, did he graduate from Nova Root?


    Ellen heard Palles name and made aplexed face. They were childhood friends as well as longtime rivals. It seemed Ellen didnt want to call Palle as a lord in the future. They hadnt seen each other in thest few years.


    Yeah, hell be graduating soon as a top student. Also, he passed the examination for a first-rate pharmacist at the same time as his graduation.


    Well, I will not do it, but atst it will be the same as myself.


    Certainly, the time when Ellen became a first-rate pharmacist was early. Graduating from the prestigious Nova Root Pharmaceutical School and bing a first-rate pharmacist are different in the same qualifications.


    Hey, did Palle know you became a court pharmacist? That you are her Majestys curator and that you are the founder of Diversis Mundi Pharmacy. Also, the fact that you are the Medicine God?


    I dont know.


    Falma shook his head to the left and right.


    If hees back to your family territory, is it possible to hide your secrets?


    What do you think would happen if he were to know?


    Yeah. I dont think his pride can take it if he were to lose to his younger brother. Moreover, the fact that the younger brother is able to do better will make the position of the eldest son in danger. Its about the reigns of the family.


    Well, I think it wont get out so easily. Probably because he will be studying at home to be a court pharmacist or he will apany father to gain an experience from him.


    It might be difficult.


    Cedric said it casually as he read the report for ounting in the book that was newly made in the New Year.


    It seems he heard that there was a pharmacy with a reputable reputation in Imperial City and looks like he was asking for its location.


    Cedric-san, what did you say? Falma froze.


    Every pharmacy has a good reputation, so I told him this location.


    Recently, all of the pharmacies in Imperial Capital, which are members of Pharmacy Guild (Guild created by Falma, different from Apothecary Guild) had been coborating with Diversis Mundi Pharmacy. Falma shared the drugs they sold. Diversis Mundi Pharmacy had a good reputation from the patients as well.


    Palle seems to be interested in that new medicine sold by a reputable pharmacy in the Imperial capital.


    Youre kidding


    Its almost time to open the store Cedric looked out the window.


    Ah, I have nothing to say!


    What? Whats wrong? Ellen asks Cedric.


    Palle is lining up in the queue!


    Why is brother here? Did he not return to college?!


    Im sure hell go back to Nova Root after he drops by the pharmacy. Cedric read his behavior.


    Falma seemed to be soulless. By this time, Ellen thought that she could see a sub voice onFalmashead as rubbing off in a speech balloon.

    Falma, hes in line.


    Falmas older brother Palle was in the line waiting for the New Years business.


    He cant turn down a person whos behaving appropriately and waiting for a turn betweenmoners.


    Falma had be a court pharmacist. He was, moreover, the founder of Diversis Mundi Pharmacy. He had done so much in the past year, yet those things havent reach Palles ear.


    Wouldnt it be better to hide that badge?


    Ellen referred to Falmas court pharmacist badge.


    If you try to hide or make an excuse, itll be anything. If youre in the third floor (Falmas Laboratory) he wont know


    [What do we do?]


    Ellen looked at Falma. Even if he hides to his brother, it would just be a temporary countermeasure. Sooner orter, Falma will be in the situation where he couldnt prevent his brother.


    That is another method but


    Falma turned his head.


    In the direction where Falma turned his gaze, there was a board where the name of the pharmacists and the employees were inscribed. His name was listed at the top as the shop owner.


    Ellen, who was thinking, grasped her staff.


    Leave it to me, Ill go talk to him.


    Cease it, Ellen. A skirmish would be inevitable if you were to do that.


    Ellen and Palle were rivals. It wouldnt be odd if they were to sh inside the pharmacy or at the streets of Imperial Capital.


    You dont want to introduce that garbage into the pharmacy. The customers areing, and its not a problem if the shop is blown away with your elder brother. Because I state good things, Falma you must care about serving our customer without worrying about anything.


    Ellens words invite no wrath. Ellen opened the door of the pharmacy, stepped the snow and went out in front of thetticed gate. And stand in front of the customer with a smile to start the New Year business.


    Happy New Year everyone. Wee home. Thank you for your kind patronage of visiting our Diversis Mundi Pharmacy.


    Ellen deeply lowered her head, letting security guard knights open the main gate. Ellen stood up in front of Palle while weing guests in a pleasant attitude.


    Oh, its been a long time, Palle.


    Having her arms folded, it is provocative as if to emphasize her beauty and breasts.


    Eleonore!


    Palle caused an awkward face.


    Why are you here?!


    Why? Because I am hired?


    Ellen acts like a typical daughter of an aristocrat and showed a highugh.


    Is it a mockery for the pharmacy that a daughter of an aristocrat, working under another noble; or your house really is that poor that you need to work? Or maybe your rank/pride as an aristocrat degraded that much?


    Palle retorted in the simr manner.


    Whose house is shabby?


    Eleonore is a wealthy daughter of an aristocrat. Although it may be lower grade from Palles family  an archduke, there is no reason to consider it a lower ss


    .


    Well then, in this shop where the Imperial sanction is granted under the protection of Her Imperial Majesty? What did youe buying?


    It was an efficacious retort to Palle who is a meat head, and so their words to each other has an insult intent to be conveyed.


    It is a medicine to be attached to the brain muscle, etc., and as a selling word it is a word of refusal. It has be a reward of speechful words to each other.


    Okay, lets talk slowly, Eleonor!


    Ellen thrust a handkerchief at Palles feet, in this case. Themunication will be conveyed through bodynguage.


    Oh my, do not lose to me like you did in advance


    Ellen, who is superior in maniption retorted.


    Hey, I do not remember losing!


    With neither buying their words, the two ride a horse, and they go out to the suburbs.


    Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! Both of you, where are you going?


    Falma, who was peeping in while talking about the water attributes of the two people who heat up selfishly was stunned by sudden deployment.


    It was a deration for a duel because Eleonore-sama ced a handkerchief to Palles feet.


    Lotte pointed her index finger and exins it. nche is trembling and prayed to God with her hands.


    Give me a break!


    Falma stands up eagerly. The patient was scared and frightened.


    Its fun, theyll experience a duel! Which do you support?


    It seemed that Lotte doesnt quite decipher the meaning of the duel very well.


    Because duel will result to a casualty! Im not looking forward to it!


    Falma, whos watching them from outside the window while examining the situation thought that Ellen was going out better then I felt my head hurt.


    Oh no!


    [Looks like their boiling point is excessively low!]


    Faluma wrote a prescription for everyone who was lined up in the rush of momentum. He threw Im d to the first ss pharmacist who wasing to work at the pharmacy.

    I will return by noon!


    He took off his white uniform, put on his coat and ran out of the pharmacy.


    [Although I went out of the pharmacy immediately after I wrote the prescription, they both rode on a horse and went out, I lost sight of them.]


    Lotte called Falma from behind who was at a loss.


    Its utterly factually, because both of them are a pharmacist. Even if they get injured, they cant abandon whos wounded. I think they will provide allowances to each other, then here, happy and reconciliation!


    Lotte encouraged Falma yet he didnt agree to Lottes statement. He murmured some words.


    That does not make any difference.


    Falma regretted he should have left from the beginning.


    Palle and Ellen recovered a vacant lot owned by the Bonufoura family. They descend from their horses and withdrew a distance from each other.


    Both of them represent a user of Divine Arts of Water. Both of them are superior in using Divine Arts. Naturally, they can use all the Divine Arts of water attribute (water, snow, ice, fog, hot water).


    Well, its a game.


    Palle instantly took off his coat and flung it away.


    Despite midwinter, he represented a hot-headed man who exposed his arm covered with muscles like armor.


    Is it okay until either one of us falls?


    Ellen also took off her white uniform so as not to tarnish it. Behind that white uniform, a chest with elegant size and a body line that was effectively organized without anypromise appeared. She opened the front button of the long skirt to create a high slit for battle. A feminine leg with moderately muscr depicting a pleasant leg line beauty were exposed.


    Dont cry on me.


    Palle threw the pebble he had in his hand high above their head.


    The moment the pebble touches the ground, the battle will begin.


    Ellen and Palle ran as soon as the stone fell to the ground. To stay in one ce is to be a duck target.


    Mur de brouird (Wall of imprable fog)


    Ellen created an imprable fog between herself and Palle to lower his visibility.


    Disturbing the coordinates served as the basis of Water Attribute Divine Arts battle. Ellen swings the staff to the side.


    Pluie invers! (Inverted rain)


    Against Ellen who tried to put a curtain of deep water on the ground and take a reverse downpour from the ground, Palle also started chanting to counterattack Ellen.


    Capture de ce (Ice capture)


    Palle used Ellens water to capture her from the ground.


    Lumps of ice captured Ellens foot and freeze Ellens body. But Ellen pierced her staff and the crystal stone of her staff radiated a sharp glow.


    Fonte rapide (Rapid Melting)


    The blocks of ice turned into water and evaporate.


    Naade (Spirit of Water)


    Palles foot was tamped on the ground, and he is prepared for the recoil of therge water discharge. It is one of the superior Divine Arts of Water technique.


    The vast stream of water created from Palles staff became a giant of water and attacked Ellen. If you shoot a hardened ice fist on the ground with divine power, it is powerful enough to gouge out the ground and a crater will be created.


    Palle, who sent such a thing mercilessly to Ellen did not hold himself at all.


    Ellen, who had fled to a direct vertical line with sufficient power running, suddenly looked back and pointed her staff to the giant.


    The icicles that stems from the tip of the staff creates a giant transparent ice bud that isrger than Ellens height.


    Ellens aqua colored eyes are gently producing ice, when it got more massive and bigger.


    Floraison (Bloom)


    Two-stage invocation.


    Fleurs de ce (Ice flower)


    Physical defense shield, enormous flowers of ice bloomed in ayered manner with dazzling shes.


    The giant threw a fist and was swallowed by the petal. The giant was destroyed from the inside with the wave of freezing.


    The giants ice chips, crushed like diamond dust, are swept away by the wind and gently reflected in the atmosphere.


    The imprable fog cleared up and the two face each other again.


    Hey, Eleonore. I dont despise capable women. I detest you! Ha ha ha!


    He was delighted to see a contentious opponent with the same attribute.


    The confrontation with Falma was unsatisfactory for Pall in spite of his victory or defeat. Farma is too much of a burden, and does not enter front of him. In addition, he was also dissatisfied with the face that seemed to end soon.


    From Palles point of view, he felt good fighting with Eleonore.


    Dont be stupid! It is not a pleasure to be praised by the likes of you.


    Ellen grasps the staff.


    If there is something you do not like at all, you retort to violence. Youre not the same, are you? Its habitually the opposite of calm Falma.


    Ellen was deplorable as to why the brothers are different.


    Ellen has learned Divine Arts for self-defense. However, to gain a sense of superiority against the opponent, Palle uses Divine Art for his self-revtion. Ellen thought so.


    You do not seem like simr?

    ording to Falma, in the part with low resistance, the two are simr.


    Both parties were also struggling toprehend why it developed into a battle, but had enhanced an atmosphere that they had to settle it.


    I think its going to be hard for a pharmacy owner to have an employee like yourself.


    Oh my, roughly, why did youe to the pharmacy?


    I guess came to pharmacy to buy some medicine. Im a customer, what do you think were doing here?


    Sure, that was the case but


    Ellen got many answers. She was the first to initiate the battle.


    Unfortunately, Diversis Mundi Pharmacy doesnt sell medicine. If you want medicine, you must transport a patient.


    There were supporters, bandages, candy, etc. in the sales corner of the different world pharmacies, but the pharmacy doesnt sell medicine.


    Foremost, it is the shopkeepers policy to develop a medicine after observing a patient. Thats why theres no medicine in our pharmacy for a fit person.


    Indeed, Palle was convinced.


    Im the patient.


    Palle entered a whitish appearance.


    Well, whats the disease?


    Ellen realized Palle did note to the pharmacy for freshness, and it was not a duel mood anymore.


    Ellen and Palle put off their staff for the first time.


    I until now obtain no diagnosis, perhaps, nobody knows.


    He, who graduated from Nova Root Pharmaceutical University which is said to be the best in this world, yet he doesnt recognize the disease.


    But there are things to understand, my life is probably not long


    Palleughed hysterically. Ellen could see bleeding from the gums.


    Whats wrong with that blood I havent hit you yet.


    Ellen has not attacked, yet he seems to be hurt already.


    This is one of its symptoms.


    Palle coughed up the blood that gathered in his mouth abrasively. He bleeds right away, and the bleeding shows no sign of ending. Even Palle knows it is abnormal.


    You who are a private teacher of Falma may contact him, but keep this case secret, especially because Falma and nche are however small.


    Does your father and mother know?


    Nobody knows, you are the first time, if you see you came to the pharmacy, it will not be better than to whiter.


    Well, what is it?


    In the past few days, I yed with Falma and nche as much as I could remember.


    Ellen remembered the Falma had said they had been taken by Palle during this consecutive holiday.


    It seemed to her that Palle was going to make memories for his younger brother and sister.


    Falma hid behind the scenes from a ce that was a little far away, and was observing the appearance of the two.


    As a showy battle of battle between Ellen and Palle began, Falma secured the venue by following the flow of that power. If either was going to get injured, Falma intended halting them by utilizing the ability of a negative attribute.


    (T/N: Negative Attribute  The ability to reduce volume but in Falmas case, he can erase the substance itself)


    Falma was surprised by the development because they stop fighting but pondered why they do it.


    Do not say anything bullish and do it firmly.


    Ellen encourages him.


    In the unlikely event that something happens, the House will be taken over by Falma. Hes no big deal, but Im certain hell do it when Im gone.


    Are you capable to establish a diagnosis and make a treatment n for yourself? What do you do to a disease that cannot be diagnosed?


    Ellen inquires Palle. Ellen has a rivalry rtionship with Pall for many years, but because she does not agree that Palle ising up, she does not particrly loathed him.


    Falma examined Palle from a distance using Diagnosis Eyes.


    Palles intact body was shining pale. A part of the bone, and along the blood vessel, its fluorescence flows while pulsing. Because of the movement of light, the Falma adheres to the disease of bone and blood system, and chants the disease name from the shape.


    And it reacted to one disease that Pharma was afraid of.


    Leukemia


    Falma froze his spine.


    It is called blood cancer.


    [Unlike infectious diseases, I did not know whether it could be cured. It is not you can treat it with certainty. ]


    [Im sorry Sorry My older brother I overlooked you, if only I properly used my eyes ]


    When Palle visited home after returning home half a year ago, there was absolutely no abnormality in him.


    However, in this homing, Palle yed with his siblings energetically. Since the machine gun talk was continuing for a certain number of extra times than usual. Falma also got tired and forgot to examine him with Diagnosis Eyes.


    Leukemia cells begin with the birth of leukemic cells from a single hematopoietic cell mutation.


    Falma was reflecting because he undermined the chances to examine his elder brother.


    [It was likely why elder brother yed with us as much as he can]

 Volume 3 - Ch 10.4

    It is possible; it was because Palle was in the shadow of his own creeping death, Falma believed the same as Ellen.


    In retrospect, when Falma treated his brothers injury after their brother confrontation, there were many blue bruises on his hands and feet.


    However, since it is a brain-muscle older brother. Falma thought that it was made by a woman considering his brothers self-discipline and fighting.


    In this world, few people suffer from cancerpared to modern developed countries like Japan.


    In the first ce,moners of this world have a short life expectancy. The probability of dying from other infectious diseases is high. Cancer patients who came to the pharmacy werent noticeable.


    Because the immune system of the noble is enhanced by their own Divine Power, few cases are strongly rted to gic diseases.


    Therefore, it was quite unusual that a high-ranking nobleman like Palle, who has a strong god power, suffered from Leukemia.


    [Or maybe because the older brother was not living on asion with me]


    The chief priest said that people were less likely to get sick because a Sanctuary is generated when they are around Falma.


    Unfortunately, his older brother had lived in a remote ce in Nova Root, so it may be that Falmas Sanctuary had no effect.


    There are four types of leukemia, and it is divided into two categories  Chronic and Acute Leukemia.


    Acute


    There was a reaction on the acute side. If Palle didnt undergo the treatment presently. It would mean that in a few months, Palle would die.


    Acute Myelogenous Leukemia


    In leukemia; symptoms like nosebleeds and bleeding from the gums; bruises, susceptibility to infection, and anemia appeared one after another. Which was a troublesome disease affecting many organs over time. Even he called it Acute Myelogenous Leukemia, there is a reaction, but the light does not go away. Falma altered the name of the disease.


    Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia


    At the time the name of the disease became distinct, Falma thought that Palle should not return to Nova Root.


    This type is prone to bleeding in the blood vessels of the brain. If Palle bleed at any moment, surgery cannot be done because things in the brain can barely get out of hand. Falma will have no choice but to see the Palles death.


    If he did not try to stop by a pharmacy, he might have fallen in Nova Root.


    [There is no time to hesitate anymore]


    It is a condition where Palles life is at stake.


    Falma could no longer care about identity barriers.


    Brother


    Falma walked before Ellen and Palle.


    The sudden appearance of his little brother in the scene after that serious talk, Palle thought how far Falma heard in the talk.


    Why are you here in a ce like here? Are you seeking Ellen? Do you have a private tutor today?


    Palle called and raised his hand to Falma with a vivid expression.


    From Palles attitude it seems that he is not going notifying Falma of his condition.


    But Falma shook his head from side to side, saying it would not be the case.


    I gathered the story.


    Falma About that You should do what you ought to do, Father and Mother, then


    Stop it.


    Palle tried to ce some words on Falma, but Falma intervened him.


    [I did not want to hear my brothers will.]


    Lets fight, older brother.


    In order not to make it reality, Falma looked directly at Palle.


    Some medicines may be effective.


    Palle realized he heard something like a kind of speech in that significant sentence, not a younger brothers words of rxation.


    Your medicine?


    Palle put an emphasis on his words enough to pierce him, with the intention to crush his little brothers illusion.


    The founder and owner of Diversis Mundi Pharmacy is me.


    What?!


    Palle exhausted his energy from that news and dropped his staff.

    Letting Falma whos an apprentice pharmacist became a shopkeeper of a pharmacy? Whatre you doing, Eleonore?


    Palle picked up the staff he released and scolded Ellen while wearing it on his waist.


    Ellen inquired what he was saying because she thought he was mistaken.


    Yes?


    Palle believed Falma was, nheless, an unqualified apprentice pharmacist. Therefore, he thought that Ellen who was Falmas teacher had decided to allow him to do as he pleases or executed some irresponsible things. Palle sighed as he concluded that.


    Youre still inexperienced without a qualification. Appointing you as a shopkeeper even if youre merely a decoration isnt a joke. Being a shopkeeper, youll naturally confront hard times and make mistakes on managing it.


    Falma and Ellen looked at each other.


    What am I going to do? Should I tell the truth to brother?


    Falma responded in an appropriate manner after interacting through gaze.


    I told Ellen to allow me, do the pharmacy thing as a shopkeeper, wasnt it?


    Falma looked at Ellen.


    Hey Falma  I think it would be more adequate to tell the truth to Palle.


    Ellen prompted Falma.


    Ellen was worried the truth would be unnecessarily tougher for Palle unless Falma could confide earlier. Without concern for Ellen, Palle started talking.


    If you didnt pursue pharmacology systematically, the period of self-taught learning would be more prolonged. Though it wasnt Nova Root Pharmaceutical University, San Flueve Empire Pharmaceutical University remain, nheless, a suitable choice rather than learning from private tutor.


    Palle seemed seriously worried about Falmas future.


    Oh, I think Ill attend the Imperials pharmaceutical university.


    Falma struggled while dwelling on what happened.


    If Falma entered San Flueve Imperial Pharmaceutical University, it wouldnt be as a student but a professor; his brother didnt know. Ellen was breathless and sighed.


    As it is, my older brother would you leave the treatment to me? I will exin older brothers illness after going to a pharmacy.


    In that case, I will inquire you ahead of time, but what kind of illness do I have?


    Palle asked Falma. Falma responded promptly without hesitation.


    Leukemia


    The origin of the disease name was based on the first discovery of a German pathologist of the 19th century. Whose blood of a patient suffering from a certain splenomegaly became whitish and died.


    What is it, your findings? Did you even diagnose me properly?


    Of course that was Palles reaction since he never heard that disease. He was shocked to learn his younger brother was clever to create his own disease name.


    I have an idea about its symptoms.


    Whatre you doing? The name of the disease shouldnt becreated without permission. It should be based on the proper diagnosis. Are you operating the pharmacy like that?


    Palle admonished Falma.


    It isnt a shame that you cant make a diagnosis. There are many unknown diseases in the world. Its more embarrassing as a pharmacist to provide it a proper name.


    I think therefore the same


    Falmapletely agreed with Palle.


    Ellen cant keep up with Falmas drama y. Therefore, she involuntarily put her hand on her forehead. However, Falma never made fool of Palle. Preferably, he honestly respected Palles attitude to face the illness.


    To objectively diagnose the disease, to ept his death as unruly in the pharmaceutical industry. Falma thought hes a great pharmacist. He had a life expectancy based on his knowledge and experienced as much as he could possibly have.


    On the other hand, Falma used Diagnosis Eyes to check Palles current condition.


    Lets go back to the pharmacy, talk longer, and determine a diagnosis based on the procedure. Ellen, Ill be preparing a lot at the pharmacy. Pleasee home with my elder brother in the carriage. Ill secure a carriage to you.


    Well, why should Ie home with Palle? Im heading home with a horse.


    Ellen made a face tantly disgusted. She didnt want to wait for a horse-drawn carriage, and she also didnt like going home with a Palle.


    No. Whatre you saying without my permission? I told you. I must go back to Nova Root.


    Falma decided the schedule without permission. Palle didnt seem considering an intention to obey Falma.


    No. Now, older brother would more likely to suffer cerebral hemorrhage so do not ride on horses.


    Falma, who told his older brother, took a horse with pstick and went back to the pharmacy.


    Well, your brother said so.


    Ellen clutched the reins of the horse and called for Palle. Ellen and Palles horse returned to their home as she let go of them.


    Whats he doing? Forbidding me to mount a horse?


    Its for your sake, perhaps.


    Are you stupid?


    Palle couldnt take it and tried to call back his horse.


    Ellen ceased it.


    No, Ill wait for a carriage.


    From here to the pharmacy, even if you go back walk on foot, it required thirty minutes to return. However, the ground was getting soaked with snow. It would be cleverer to wait for the carriage than to walk on foot.


    Oh I wonder if I shouldve brought a sledge to the horse.

    To Ellens joke, Pall replied with a sermon.


    You know what? Why do we have to deal with Falmas fantasy? Youre a first-ss pharmacist, right? If youre a teacher with such a half-hearted attitude, arent you going being single forever? Even though hes the second son, he needs to be an independent pharmacist.


    Ill tell you what, I will wait for the carriage.


    Damn


    Ellen and Palle ended up waiting for the carriage. The carriage that Falma arranged came swiftly.


    On the way back, Palle grieved over his brother.


    My brother is foolish; I am depressed. When I die, what would happen to De Medicis Family? What a bad luck. Looks like I cannot die like this.


    The future of the De Medicis Family was hitherto said to be in the dark ahead. nche also hated studying, and Falma was an optimistic idiot; still daydreaming. Palle groaned as he was harboring these thoughts.


    Is that so? I think youre fortunate.


    Ellen said to Palle with a mischievous smile.


    Is it pleasurable for you to observe me suffering from death?


    Palle provoked reflexively but Ellen didnt mind it.


    Hey, Palle your brain muscles good for anything, but it goes against the Guardian Deity.


    From the time Palle was concerned, he went to the church every day and didnt miss a worship while he was in the imperial capital.


    Even if his family doesnt apany him, he still went worshipping alone every morning.


    Even if it rained or snowed, even though he suffered from a severe cold; he would still go to church.


    Why have you gone so far in worshiping the Guardian God?


    Of course, why wouldnt I? We can use the Divine Art. Its the protection of the Guardian God who gave us the Divine Power. You have too little faith in the Water God! Gods will punish you, and you will be unable to use Divine Arts!


    Ellens Guardian God was the God of Water, yet it would better if she visits the temple once a month and worships. Although she wasnt a devout. The amount of divine power thats predetermined by birth didnt increase merely because she/he believed earnestly. Its amon knowledge that prayers to the Guardian Gods should be unmissed in the morning or at night, but therere a few nobles who were easily protected.


    In that situation, Pall was overly exemry; a faithful believer of Medicine God.


    Same as usual


    Ellen smiled happily.


    Because youre so enthusiastic about faith, it looks like your Guardian God hase to your side through prayers.


    What do you mean?


    Palles Guardian God was the Medicine God. He whos born with a heavenly order to be a court pharmacist. Palle was proud his Guardian Gods the Medicine god. No matter how much Ellen made an effort as a pharmacist, she cant ovee the difference between the Guardian Gods.


    If the Guardian God was a Medicine God, Palle could be a court pharmacist but Ellen cannot.


    Its a lie to say that Ellen never thought that she was envious of Palle whos Guardian God was the Medicine God.


    No, nothing


    Ellen made the words turbid. She couldnt improve it because of her envy.


    Because the God of Medicine didnt reveal himself to Palle, Ellen thought it would be better not to mention anything for now.


    Palle and Ellen returned to the pharmacy. Falma secured the pharmacy, standing in front of the entrance, waiting for them.


    Wee back, both of you.


    I headed home with a carriage as you wanted, are you satisfied with this?


    Falma received his brothers coat and prepares two shoes.


    By the way, nche returned to the mansion before his eldest brother returned.


    Wee to Diversis Mundi Pharmacy, my older brother. Pleasee inside.


    Oh my


    Palle set his foot inside of the pharmacy.


    Is this a pharmacy?


    The pharmacy included the arrangements which overturned the conventional concept of the pharmacy. Palle was equally surprised by the fact that he incorporated products that he didnt know how to use. The storage method of the medicine was also different. There were few bottles of medicinal herbs and simple herbs. When he saw the floor n and the dispensing room on the first floor of the pharmacy, he was impressed.


    It was visiblyprehensible, it wasnt the result of Ellens guidance.


    Good guyse here


    Falma seated on the first floor sitting desk with both Palle and Ellen.


    In front of them, a paper was distributed, drinks and sweets were ced.


    Yeah, yeah, its a wishful thing.


    Ill exin older brothers illness once again.


    Falma seated down opposite to them.


    Why would you give me a consultation?


    Palle was being grumpy.


    Properly, listen to me at least until the end before stating something. If youre okay with that, undergo my treatment.


    Oh, if you can convince me, then give me a demonstration of your theory


    The words that came out to Palles throat. He, whos a leading student of the Nova Root Pharmaceutical University, was absurd. When the aroma of tea reached Palles nose, he gulped it and made himself drink some water to clear his throat.


    Before that, pleasey your arms.

    I will exin the treatment n No, lets think together, brother.


    Falma took care of Palle falling from the chair. Falma respected Palles position as a pharmacist and considered it not to be a one-sided treatment.


    Oh


    Cedric, could you give us a tea?


    Cedric gave a hot tea to Palle and Falma while Lotte immediately put the chocte. Palle drank the tea and finally feltfortable.


    Are you really Falma?


    Thats right.


    Where does that knowledge came from? You didnt learn that from Eleonore right?


    I had a dream when I was struck by a lightning.


    Falma gave them a reasonable excuse. Palle cannot hide his shock.


    Thats a revtion, isnt it?  Who is the God that gave you the revtion?


    I dont know, Palle replied.


    Palle stood up and went out. Falma stood up to follow his brother while Ellen called to Palle.


    Where are you going?


    I also want to get struck by lightning!


    Palle you idiot. Youre going die if you got hit by a lightning!


    Because its stupid, Ellen didnt do it but Palle really do want to get struck by a lightning.


    It wont be so easy to get hit by a lightning, Falma added.


    Falmas statement made Palle stopped.


    Eleonore, think about it? The pharmaceutical knowledge that we have learned so far. What is it? If anything, maybe it was meaningless.


    Its not meaningless. Its not pointless. Falma denied Palles words.


    Even the medicine of the past has worked, right?


    As you say, but more medicines dont work or even sometimes lead to death Ellen supported Palle.


    Falma, write down everything you dreamed of. Tell and exin it to us.


    Yeah, so Im doing it now. Thats the text.


    Falma decided to continue the lecture in front of the two 1st-ss Pharmacists.


    Ill continue exining. Leukemia has two types ording to its progression rate. Chronic Leukemia is a slow-growing leukemia while Acute Leukemia is a fast-growing leukemia that progresses quickly without treatment. It doesnt mean the acute period will be prolonged and be chronic. It is apletely different disease. Chronic is a condition in which problems arise in the hematopoietic stem cells themselves. While acute is a condition in which an abnormality urs in the middle of bing each bloodponent from the hematopoietic stem cell. So which type of leukemia does brother have?


    By making it a question form, Falma wanted to embed the knowledge in their memory and deepen their understanding. Palle was an excellent student who quickly absorbed and understood what Falma said.


    Its acute, Palle replied,


    Isnt it chronic?, Ellen said the other way around.


    Acute is the correct answer. There are two ways to get rid of this leukemia cell. What do you think it is?, Falma asked.


    Falma showed an illustration of text of how blood cells and otherponents mature from hematopoietic stem cells.


    Kill the leukemia cells


    Palle seems to havee up with the way soon.


    Youre right. Give another one. Ellen, think about it.


    Surrender, what should I do?


    Ellen was quick to give up. As both were excited to know the answer, Falma gave an answer.


    Leukemic cells can be normal white blood cells.


    Can you do that?


    Palle gets excited and leaned out.


    Can leukemia cells be normal white blood cells? Isnt it an abnormal cell? Ellen doubted Falmas statement.


    Cells in a state that cant be white blood cells are abnormal. However, if it can be white blood cells, then it will be normal.


    Once all leukemic cells have been converted into white blood cells, it will eventually remove all traces of leukemic cells. It was described that the drug that promotes the maturation of leukemic cells into leukocytes (White Blood Cells) was a substance called All-Trans Retinoic Acid (ATRA).


    T/L Note: ATRA helps the promyelocytes affected by APL develop into fully functioning cells (neutrophils). Thus, it reduces the number of leukemic st cells in the bone marrow. Its the most important drug in the initial treatment of Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (APL) which is Palles leukemia.


    Is that so?!


    Wait a minute, isnt it bad that white blood cells grow too much in the blood, even though its normal? Palle had a good argument.


    The blood cells created dont stay in the blood all the time. Blood cells have a life span. White blood cells die in a few days. They are destroyed in the spleen. But if that doesnt work, retinoic acid syndrome will be developed.


    ATRA, a specific drug for this Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (APL), had side effects.


    The leukocytes, which were promoted by ATRA to differentiate (mature) from leukemic cells and were produced inrge quantities, as described by Palle, may damage blood vessels or cause heart failure. It was a rare, life-threatening side effect.


    Really


    However, side effects weremon to drugs. You couldnt be cured if you were afraid.


    Thats why. First, drink ATRA to induce differentiation into leukocytes (promoting maturation)


    T/L Note: Cell differentiation is the process where a cell changes from one cell type to another. In this case, ATRA will induce the leukemic cells to change into a normal white blood cell.

    Falma held out his right palm before the two.


    In addition, an anti-cancer agent is administered by injection to destroy leukemia cells. Palle also offered his left palm.


    Clinically, in the case of Palle, it has been determined that ATRA alone cures. However, Falma wanted to minimize the risk of recurrence bybining ATRA with anti-cancer agent.


    Eliminating the leukemia cells thoroughly with two drugs.


    Having said that, Falma joined his hands together.


    This is the treatment for Palles leukemia. Ill mentionter the detailed dosing schedule.


    Falma thought that Palle was smart by understanding his exnation from the rough flow.


    In other words? Ellen asked for the conclusion.


    That means there is a possibility ofpletely cured, Falma replied.


    Ellen felt relieved and Palle also seemed to have had a little hope. Lotte and Cedrick also looked andughed at each other.


    Yeah, youll undergo Remission Induction Therapy.


    Falma gave the medicine and water to Palle. Its an ATRA capsule.


    Drink after every meal now. For now, after lunch


    Do you want to drink it now? Be ready


    Palle drank the provided medicine. Falma was nervous about Palles esophagus.


    Okay, the treatment has started. Lets go home, brother, Lotte. Im taking a leisure ride today in a carriage.


    Falma though that a brain hemorrhage was likely to ur if the ride was by horse.


    Your bleeding symptoms should improve in a few days after drinking ATRA, but until ATRA works, you need an absolute rest.


    ATRA alone, do you have to take anti-cancer drugs and others? Palle asked Falma in case he has forgotten his prescription.


    Idarubicin is given by injection, lets do this at home


    T/L Note: Idarubicin is an anti-cancer medicine (Chemotherapy) that interferes with the growth and spread of cancer cells in the body. It is used for leukemia and advanced breast cancer.


    Falma exined that Palle should rest, and Idarubicin will be injected in a clean room instead of a crowded ce. On the way home, Falma threw an open question to Palle, who was swayed by a wagon in a state of exhaustion.


    Brother, do you have a girlfriend now?


    Why are you talking about that now?


    Because it is necessary information.


    We broke upst week. Its my 25th woman, a good woman. Were too frustrated at each other. Oh, by the way. Im using contraception.  (he or she???)


    I have never heard anything like this, brother, Falma thought.


    Anyway, it didnt seem to change that Palle had lived a fulfilling personal life. It may be that Palle broke up with her girlfriend because hes front of deaths door. Anyway, it was Falma who felt relieved since she didnt leave Nova Root Pharmaceutical Academy (Palles academy) and chased Palle to Imperial Capital. Upon hearing her and her contraception, Lotte, who is on the same carriage, turned red on her face; pretending not to hear him.


    Dont go out with her while youre still taking ATRA. Having her pregnant during medication may cause mutation in your child.


    ATRA was a drug with teratogenic potential. During medication, not only women but also men must use contraception.


    T/N Note: Teratogenic Potential refers to the potential of a drug or substance which may disturb the development of the embryo or fetus.


    Yes, you dont have to worry because Im not there now.


    Its about two years.


    He was forced to abstinence for two years, but he cant return to his old life.


    T/L Note: Treatment of Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (Palles leukemia) usually takes 1 to 2 years with intermittent ATRA and low-dosage of chemotherapy (Refers to Idarubicin anti-cancer agent). Since Falma is a chemist and not a doctor, extra precaution is needed.


    What! Palle did have such a devious disease


    Bruno listened to Falmas report, who came to his study after he had returned from college. The treatment process was also exined in detail to Bruno. Including what kind of leukemia and what type of stem cells and white blood cells. Bruno, who has basic knowledge, grasped Palles medical condition. Much shorter time than when Falma exined it to Palle. As Bruno listened to Falmas exnation, he became unnerved. In Brunos mind, Palles condition was a life-threatening situation.


    If bleeding urs, there is a probability that brother may not see tomorrow. It was a moment-sensitive situation, so Palle is already in the treatment of taking ATRA. Falma continued.


    If we get bleeding, we will not know tomorrows life. We have been in the process of taking time, so we are already in the process of taking ATRA.


    Oh I knew I had such a blood disease but Palle looked fine.


    Please leave it to me.


    Oh. I am rest assured since youre in charge of Palles treatment.


    As a father, and as one of the pharmacists to suppress the desire to take charge the treatment of his beloved son. Bruno entrusted Palles treatment to Falma. That way, the probability of Palles survival increased.


    Is there anything I can do? Is there anything I should prepare? Is there a need for my hands? Ill do anything.


    There is. Please allow collecting blood from our servants who have the same type of blood as brother. It can be used for the blood transfusion topensate for missing telets and blood coagtion factors. It may not be used, but it is better to be prepared.


    If you transfuse my blood outside, I dont know what will happenFalma thought.


    It was a serious problem. The worst, shock would be the cause of Palles death. Blood transfusions from Bruno couldnt be used to avoid the risk. Hopefully, the blood from non-blood rted people can be used for the blood transfusion.

    Editor: Kuhaku


    Palle was diagnosed with acute promyelocytic leukemia. Falma started treatment immediately with an induction treatment to start reducing the leukemia cells.


    He started drinking ATRA from day one after the diagnosis, to begin differentiation induction that converts leukemia cells into normal white blood cells.


    From the second day, Idarubicin (anticancer drug) was administered as an aid to ATRA.


    Two days after the ATRA and idarubicinbination therapy is the fourth day of the therapy.


    Palle, who had sessfully reduced the number of leukemia cells, had serious side effects.


    Whilst ATRA was maturing leukemia cells into white blood cells, these rapidly growing white blood cells were giving off inmmatory substances into the bloodstream, destroying Palles lungs, causing pulmonary hemorrhage and dyspnea.


    ATRAs side effects are the urrence of retinoic acid syndrome (differentiation syndrome), which is said to ur in approximately 20% of patients.


    As bleeding urred in Palles lungs, Falma began high-dose (pulse therapy) of methylprednisolone (a type of steroid).


    Even if he survives, the five-year survival rate of patients who have had a pulmonary hemorrhage, that is, the survival rate five years after the start of treatment is about 30%.


    It can be understood that the situation is dangerous in the short term and in the long term.


    Is there anything else I can do, I am here!


    Falma felt so useless that he could only use the medicine.


    Falma creates oxygen with his left hand and supplies oxygen to Palle. Its possible to supply oxygen for a few days without interruption if it is sustained by invincible divine power.


    In the meantime, I hope the steroids stop the bleeding.


    But I do not think that Palle will recover by that alone.


    Really


    Falma remembered while listening to Palles breath.


    In the dimly lit room, Falma moved his right hand forward. The important thing was left in my room.


    It was something I had to not let go of.


    e!


    Kusurishintsue flew with force, prated the inner wall of the house and got sucked to Falmas palm with a brisk sound.


    He sped Kusurishintsue.


    (I do not want to use this unless there is no other choice )


    Falma recalled the unique art of the drug gods, Immunity power and maximize the effects of drugs.


    Enhancement of immunity was very effective at the time of the gue, that was an infection.


    However, in the context of leukemia, if the increased immunity further activates leukocytes, the situation would continue to deteriorate.


    Pulmonary hemorrhage will appear.


    But there is no choice


    Still, I was already hesitating to try. There is no more time to lose, and if I leave it alone Palle will be out of steam.


    Falma decided to examine the effect of the arcane as a therapeutic method in advance through mimetics.


    In the past, Falma had used mimetics to decide on the treatment but thought it could be possible to estimate the effect of the arcane.


    I ask, Kusurishintsue. Tell me.


    (Tell me what will happen if I use the First relief)


    The unspoken Kusurishintsue responded through mimetic. The reddish light turned blue.


    The condition seems to get better.


    After all, the power of the drug god was to prolong the life of the patient.


    Oh!


    The arcane works. Falma holds his cane horizontally against Palles body axis fearlessly and presses it against him.


    I closed my eyes silently.


    The relief of the primordial


    Kusurishintsue shines, and the crest of the drug god appears on Palles body surface.


    U  u


    TLN: What?


    Palle screamed and bled. Even though Palles breathing became rough, it seems the bleeding had subsided.


    (Right I have secured time for treatment)


    With a steroid therapy, I believe the lung hemorrhage should go away in 2-3 days.


    Mr. Falma, what can I do to help. Can I enter the room?


    Trantor: yompyamper


    I rang the handbell a while ago, servants came despite it being midnight. You can hear Lottes voice.


    I want two people to help you


    Certainly.


    Bruno has alsoe. As Bruno was well aware of the condition that Palles immune system was weak, he changed clothes and washed his hands as a countermeasure against infection.


    Father, please help me as my hands are upied.


    Falma directs Bruno. He is supplying oxygen to Palle with his left hand, so his hand is used.


    Oh, leave it to me. What are you doing by putting your hand on Palles mouth?


    I am helping by making it easier to breathe


    It may actually be better to intubate (insert a tube and secure the airway), but I hesitated because I had never done it with a human partner.


    As for Falma with Kusurishintsue, Bruno saw his whole body emitting light.


    Bruno was overwhelmed by the mysterious sight.


    Prepare what I ask for


    Farma tells Bruno to prepare blood transfusions, transfusions and equipment without leaving Palle. Bruno ispetent and does his best to prepare for the application of anesthesia, which Falma had prepared.


    Thank you very much. I appreciate it


    Pharma is grateful for the assistants presence.


    By the time the rooster announced dawn, Falma, who was working nonstop, was exhausted.


    TLN : By the time the chicken roar


    Thanks to that, Palles body condition is settling down little by little.


    Falma dozes off, material creation is interrupted.


    Then Palles breathing, which has run out of oxygen, is painful. He asionally spits up blood in order to avoid his throat being clogged because of hemoptysis.


    Falma


    The sound of Bruno wakes Falma up and he resumes material creation.


    Im sorry, I was unconscious.


    Because you are overdoing it  drink this


    A potion of strength recovery was prepared and presented to Falma. He has a body that is not effective for drugs but is thankful for moisturizing his throat.


    Im happy. Thank you


    (Oh.?)


    After a while, my drowsiness blew away, and my energy began to recover.


    It worked


    (Though it did not work for Ellen?)


    To Falma, who often slept at the drugstore due to overworking, he used to have the sameposition nutritional drink as Ellen. But Ellens did not feel more effective mentally.


    What happened


    No, my fathers medicine works well


    Brunos guardian deity is a medicine god. So no wonder Pharmaspatibility is good. Pharma turns his head.


    The preparation of medicine is in the realm of theology, the medicine of skilled people works well, however, the medicine of immature people doesnt


    What he is saying may be true, Falma paid more attention to Bruno.


    Your technique is more interesting to me. And how do you make the oxygen that you are giving to Palle?


    Bruno only sees Falma with his hand on Palles mouth.


    Bruno is concerned that it might be stuffy as it covers the mouth with hands. Bruno wanted to say, or could not hide , Falma partially confessed.


    Like father who can produce water, I can produce oxygen and other substances


    TLN : Since I did not read everything yet, is this correct?


    Wow!


    Brunos eyes were wide open in surprise.


    I thought that was the case. Thats how youve created medicine so far. You dont have to hide it.


    Yes, actually


    You didnt seem to be doing a full-blown synthesis, I had no evidence of buying raw materials, so I thought there was something secret..


    Bruno had not pursued in detail until now but wondered how he was procuring new medicine. It seemed that he fell into a trap of Falmas exnation.


    I can only see your hand, but if you are using such advanced theology  You must have the power of the drug God.


    I do not know if it is the power of the drug god, but I can do it. However I think that this method is also inefficient, so I also need industrial production of oxygen. Lets make it possible to produce at the Mersail nt in the future.


    Trantor: yompyamper


    Falma was keenly aware of the need of the oxygen cylinder. Otherwise, Pharma will have to be close to the patient as a live oxygen cylinder, and it will be infeasible if there are more than three patients.


    Bruno leans forward to listen closely.


    To make oxygen, cant you make it in the universityboratory even now?


    Its impossible for Farma to be an oxygen supply for multiple days, Farma topples over.


    There was also a sense of concern for him.


    Because the oxygen that can be produced in theboratory is in very small quantities, we need to industriallypress the air to make it into a liquid, and then fractionally distill it to take out the oxygen. Its difficult.


    You can pack the liquid oxygen that Falma synthesized into a cylinder, but there is no such cylinder.


    Air is liquid  such a foolish thing


    If pressure is applied, the air will be liquid


    Farma briefly exins the three states of matter. Is it the nature of a schr to exin even at such times? While looking at such a chat, I check his condition.


    Lets get Melody to make the cylinder


    Do you think Melody can do it?


    I think theres nothing she cant do about metalworking.


    On the same day, Bruno made an order for Melody ording to Farmas description.


    As Palles symptoms started to recede a little, I reduced the amount of anesthesia via infusion.


    Once the amount of anesthesia was reduced, Palles consciousness returned.


    Are you conscious, Palle?


    Bruno holds Palles hand at the bedside.


    What happened  I suddenly cannot breathe


    Falmas hand was in front of Palles mouth. As soon as he had removed it, it became hard to breathe.


    I will apply my hand. Breathing will be easier


    Falma returns to his original position.


    I dont feel bad whats going on?


    When I confirmed the situation, Palle was connected to the drip. Farma exins what is dripping and talks about the progress so far.


    There was a side effect.


    Is it a pulmonary hemorrhage ? Will I survive


    Palle heard the story and seemed horrified. ording to Pallesmon sense, if you have a serious lung hemorrhage, you can not help but suffocate. Even Palle and Brunos hand-held medicines cannot cure it, and the treatment has not been established yet. Although the exnation that there might be severe side effects was given by Falma, it had not been believed. Palle did not think Id befall to himself.


    Its thanks to Pharma, if it were not for Pharma, I wouldnt have survived the disease.


    Bruno admitted honestly. But Pharma said


    Im d the steroid worked


    Falmas humble attitude that he does not depend on himself, but gives credit to the medicine, is admired by Palle. Bruno also agrees.


    Falma, you are a great drugmaker  and a good guy


    Palle had to admit to Falma. There was nothing to be embarrassed about, so he told Falma straight.


    Lets do our best, my brother. Now is a crucial moment


    Oh, I will do my best.


    Palle was strong. Positive patients in treatment survive, Falma believed so.


    It was the afternoon of the next day.


    If you want, would you like to decorate Palles room?


    Lotte dropped by to see Falma, who is still in the hospital room as Brunos recement and handed over a picture in a frame to Falma. It is andscape drawing of the riverside where a pheasant ys. It was great workmanship. It seems to have been drawn in a few days.


    Wow  why this subject?


    Yes, it is the oil of Faisan de colchide which is Pelles favorite river and a water mill. I used to go there alone. I think Im nostalgic.


    TLN : Faisan de colchide is french for Ring-necked Pheasant


    Thank you, I think with his brother in the room, it will be decorated because it is tasteless.


    TLN : Help


    I hope Palle likes it. Farma thanks, Lotte. Even though he/she isnt in the hospital room, Lotte cares about Palle.


    Then, here is a letter of encouragement from everyone.


    A collection of photos from servants, Beatrice and nche, and a photo collection of Saint Fleuves capital city. The cover was painted by Lotte.


    Good, this  I think Im getting better


    What is this picture?


    Trantor: yompyamper


    Oh, its a painting based on Palles medicine god guardian deity. I hope you will be protected.


    Falma glimpsed at the graceful girl deity pictured on the cover. To Lotte, the representation of the medicine god seems to be a beautiful girl god of the legendary street in the temple.


    The drug god has such an image?


    Yes, its kind and pure, yet its a noble childs goddess! Because it is the guardian of Palle, I was particr about the face!


    Hmm  yeah, I like it! I think Im happy.


    Falma runs away with inments. After all, it is Falma.


    TLN : The second sentence is difficult


    Mr. Falma, please treat Palles treatment so as not to be overwhelmed physically and mentally. I know that attendants are of no help, but please tell me anything I can do.


    Well then! That said, Lotte ran off. Farma feels once again that she is a good girl.


    Oh, this picture is wonderful. I feel good, and what is this borate ck and white picture?


    Its a photograph. It is a photograph of the city of Teito and a family.


    This is good


    A smile appeared on Palles face after a long time. Lottes presence, which made it possible to understand that there were arge number of people who were hoping for his recovery, was just perfect as a gift.


    Lotte is a mass of energy. We are all cheering, lets do our best,


    TLN : Not sure


    Falmaughs at Palles delighted face.


    And the presents from Lotte and the servants delighted and encouraged Palle from time to time.

 Volume 3 - Ch 14

    Trantor: yompyamper


    By the second day, Palles lung hemorrhage had settled down.


    Palle was able to breathe without the need for oxygen inhtion, partly due to Falmas dedicated care and the possible effect of the magic wand. Apparently, it seems that the prepared blood transfusion is not needed.


    Still, getting up caused made him out of breath because of the anemia, and just taking a bath back to keep clean was a lot for Palle.


    While attending Palle, Falma did not close the pharmacy, leaving Ellen and a first-ss pharmacist in charge. Different world pharmacy keeps prescription records of their medicines, so the same medicine was given to patients with the same condition as before.


    New illnesses or emergencies that day were redirected to the house of De Medicis.


    Given the risk of carry-over of infection, patient medical treatment was done in an isted room.


    Melody processed the metal one day after the order and delivered the cylinder. Although the pressure gauge was not installed, there was no problem because it was possible to calcte the absolute pressure in the cylinder and to calcte the flow rate by eye with Falmas material generation power.


    The valve has also been made as specified. Once Falma filled it up with liquid oxygen, it functioned well as an oxygen cylinder.


    Now Palle can use his own oxygen mask when he has a hard time, and he doesnt have to be stuck with Falma.


    The number of visits to Palles room was also limited.


    Once a day, only for family members. Although the sanitation sanctuary cleans the entire mansion, the sterility is also broken because of servantsing in and out of the mansion. So, basically, Palle was asked to note out of his room. It is a strict management system where even the opening and closing of windows is also limited.


    Palle was convinced by Falmas rational exnation of why he had to do so.


    nche and her mother came to visit by taking turns. They werepletely covered in protection such as masks and protective clothing. Palle pretended to have a minor condition in front of his mother and sister, who responded by saying strong, or by joking.


    After closing the pharmacy, Ellen came to check up on Palles medical condition.


    Palle, how are you doing?


    Ellen came with arge bouquet of fresh flowers and arge patisserie cake she ordered.


    Since Ellen was on a horse, she changed all her clothes, disinfected her hands, changed her shoes, beforeing to this ce to prevent infection.


    Oh, its going well. Its a bad thing Im splitting up the pharmacy by borrowing Falma. Im telling you to go back to the pharmacy, really


    Palle tried to convince Falma many times, Im fine, you should go to work, but Falma stubbornly refused to leave Palles side. Because if there is a sudden change in his condition, even rushing over would be toote.


    No, its fine. I would like Falma to be with Palle. He needs to be here. Is it difficult to treat?


    Ellen imagines Palles suffering from leukemia treatment. Palle being connected to the drip must be painful.


    Well, its not as bad as I thought.


    Palle said in vain.


    Really!? Falma didnt say so though.


    Its no big deal, not at all.


    If thats the case Its really fine.


    Ellen truly believed Palles words of strength. Ellen falls in the category who are convinced by his lie. But she still didnt see Palles inner mind because his performance was too clever.


    Oh, I must recover quickly and settle down with you. Ill do my best, ha ha ha!


    If you have the strength tough like that, its fine


    Ellen relieved his heart.


    Well, do your best. Lets settle down once you get well


    As Ellen shuts the door, Palle slumps onto the bed. Talking for a long time was exhausting.


    Falma, who had been treating patients in a separate room, entered the hospital room just after Ellen had finished disinfecting.


    My brother, breathing is tough. I heardughter a few minutes ago. If you raise your voice like that, you will be out of breath


    Dont say that, let me tell you about strength


    It was too loud, Ellen was worried.


    As men of the De Medicis family, it cant be helped to make a racket in front of a girl


    Falma felt that he saw his way of life, the awareness and pride as the eldest son of arge aristocracy.


    On the morning of the 7th day of treatment, Palle was pouring simmering soup down his throat. What was served to Palle was a stripped-down menu of raw food, spices, oils and fats, and dairy products, in order to reduce the burden on infections and digestive tract.


    Dont worry about your diet while on anti-cancer drugs, were paying attention


    Palle was lonely during the prolonged treatment. His drinks were not fresh juices, they were raw waters, hot water or product water.


    His leg strength was also weakening because he lives in bed.


    Its easy to get infected and Ive never been too cautious


    Falma also takes the same diet as Palle in the same room. Thats because of the concern for Palle.


    Speaking of which, with the decrease of white blood cells caused by the anticancer drug, Palles infection was avoided.


    Once in Falmas sanctuary, the risk of bacterial infection is extremely reduced.


    I dont want you to eat the same meals as me. Eat properly, meat and fish. Just give up


    Palle smiles wryly as if he does not care about being in such a ce.


    Because you will be tired, it is best to sleep well during the daytime


    Im not tired. My fathers potion works, how are you


    Brunos nutritive drink was so effective that I thought it might contain drugs. Palle who heard that obviously makes a strange face.


    Trantor: yompyamper


    Editor: Sam


    Fathers medicine is really effective, isnt it? My original goal was to be a pharmacist just like him, whose medicine is said to be the most effective on the continent. However, now thats changed.


    Having said that, Palle continued to quietly eat his nd meal.


    What caused your goal to change? Falma asked, pretending not to know the answer.


    Nothing, Palle mumbled in reply. It was just a slip of the tongue.


    Falma let it slide. I understand. Then Ill pretend I didnt hear anything.


    But it wont always be this way! Ill learn the Medicine Gods knowledge myself and overtake you! Haha-cough-hahaha!


    As Farmas elder brother, Palle yed the part and neverined to him. Even though Falma was pained at Palles condition, his mood was improved by Palles bright and energetic personality.


    Brother, youre still coughing, so stop it. Besides, if youre feeling better then I want to resume ATRA treatment. The symptoms of pulmonary hemorrhaging have disappeared.


    Without ATRA treatment, the number of leukemic cells will begin to grow again. The leukemia could also cause further internal hemorrhaging, independent of ATRAs side effects. Furthermore, Falma was apprehensive of the possibility of cerebral hemorrhage, so he was looking for an opportunity to resume treatment as soon as possible.


    Wont things just turn out the same way?


    Palle gulped. He was justughing and smiling, but now he was cautious.


    The risk is always present, so next time well start from 75% of the original dosage.


    Palle remembered the pain from the hemorrhage and thought about how he had wanted to die.


    He made up his mind. I know I need to do this. Lets just get it done.


    Still, was there any treatment more terrifying than this one? In his heart, Palle realized just how horrible of a disease cancer was.


    Simrly, to Falma cancer is like the king of diseases, because whether a patient can or cannot be cured can only be left to the imagination.


    Palle felt that he couldnt thank Falma enough. Not much is known about cancer in Nova Root, yet Falma was able to diagnose it. Furthermore, in order to treat Palle, he synthesized numerous drugs and even harnessed the power of the Medicine God.


    So, my cells are attacking each other


    Thats why its a tough disease to treat. If they werent your bodys cells, your immune system would attack it. However, because they are your own cells, your immune system wont attack, Falma confirms.


    Actually, I should have used chemotherapy from the start. That was my mistake. Next time Ill apply ATRA and chemotherapy together.


    Chemotherapy ces a heavy burden on the patients health, so Falma decided to dy it by one day after administering ATRA in order to observe the effects of ATRA by itself. This turned out to be the wrong choice.


    Moreover, theres an alternative treatment called ATRA monotherapy which may be effective depending on the situation. However, its effectiveness is difficult to judge.


    For Falma, hisck of clinical experience in his past life as a pharmacist was very troublesome.


    Falma tells Palle to be prepared for side effects, because they may be unpleasant. Palle wore a serious expression on his face.


    Use whatever method you think will work best. Im tough, so dont worry about me.


    Then Ill get started. If you feel nauseous, tell me so I can give you medication for it. You may also get a fever, stomatitis, or be severely fatigued. Are you ready?


    Yes!


    Falma made clear the difference between a pharmacist talking with a pharmacist, and a pharmacist talking with a patient. In the end, its up to the patient to decide how much treatment they want.


    Palle wants to recover from this disease so that he could inform the Medical Association about this case, as well as Falmas urate treatment for it.


    On the 6th day, Palle resumed taking ATRA. He also began taking Idarubicin through IV.


    ED: IV medicines are delivered through a needle inserted into a vein. Youve probably seen them in the form of those drip bags in hospitals. Idarubicin (4-demethoxydaunorubicin) is an IV-delivered drug that treats leukemia.


    Palle watched attentively while Falma filled an IV bottle with Idarubicin and inserted the IV into his body.


    This is the first time anyones used an IV bottle or injection. Itspletely groundbreaking. I wonder what other purposes this can be used for.


    As expected, Falma thought. Palle praises this like its a godly revtion, not something that humans can think of.


    Although, Falma says, I do have some experience with IV drips. Only with animals.


    Hmm I just heard something terrible. When did you practice with animals?


    Only when Brother is not around.


    It was during Falmas past life as a pharmacist, but Falma thought it was best to not tell Palle.


    The human body and an animals body are mostly the same, so its probably fine.


    I see. but the anti-cancer drugs are toxic and have a disgusting color. They also turn the urine red


    Palle had no choice but to watch as the rust-colored liquid dripped into his body.


    It seems like the IV drip is a different ce thanst time. Is this intentional? Palle asked. He was observing Falma closely and noting even the smallest differences.


    Its better to not use the same blood vessel, as the anti-cancer drugs will start to damage them.


    You said it was cytotoxic? So, the blood vessels will be damaged upon touching the anti-cancer drugs? I see


    Trantor: yompamper


    Editor: Sam


    Six hours after Palle resumed treatment, he was struck by intense nausea. At first Palle could still crack jokes, but after vomiting several times the gastric acid irritated his esophagus. The repeated vomiting also drained his stamina.


    Brother, lets switch the anti-nausea medication. Try this one.


    Nausea significantly impacts a patients quality of life. However, Falma cant identify which medication will be effective for Palle thorough medical examinations. As such, he can only change the medication and try again.


    Okay, Ill try it.


    Palle drinks the anti-nausea medication but immediately vomits it out, so Falma mixes it into the IV bottle. In some cases, nausea can be a symptom of anxiety which cant be treated with medication, but Palles nausea soon goes away.


    ED: While medication such as antidepressants and beta-blockers are prescribed for anxiety, they cant cure it.


    You should also change your clothes


    Palle changes into looser, morefortable, clothing.


    Phew now I feel better. Its dizzying how things are going from one thing to the other. Also, why was I feeling nauseous just now?


    The anti-cancer drugs affect the part of the brain responsible for controlling vomiting. You might not want to vomit, but you just do.


    Theres aplex reaction happening inside my body. If I could just stop the nausea, I can help you formte.


    Palle tries to formte more anti-nausea medication in his hand, but Falma stops him.


    Since mybination of medication is already effective, please allow me to make more instead.


    Oh


    Palle was frustrated at how, in front of Falma, he could only be the patient.


    Ill leave it up to my brother if I get sick, then.


    You tter me


    Falma didnt count on it, but Palle had be more mature.


    On the twelfth day, the number of leukemia cells was steadily decreasing. It was great news, but something else happened which caused Palle to lose his spirit. Due to the anti-cancer medication, his long silver hair began to fall out.


    Every time Pallebed his hair with his hands, more fell out. Soon, his pillow was covered with hair.


    My hair wont stop falling out, right?


    With a strange feeling inside, Palle silently began to throw the fallen hair into the garbage can. Watching him, Falma asked.


    Are you okay with this?


    Its what I expected.


    Falma nods.


    Alright.


    Palle didntin at all.


    Will it all fall out? If thats the case, I want to get rid of it all straight away.


    It might not all fall out  I dont know. I think itll be sparse, though. Thats because cells that divide quickly, like hair follicles, are vulnerable to the anti-cancer drugs, which causes them to stop dividing. Itll be better to shave all the hair off all at once.


    TN/ED: Anti-cancer medication works by damaging fast-dividing cells, either during a specific phase in their lifecycle or indiscriminately. Hair follicles divide every 23-72 hours, and so are also affected.


    Will I be bald for life?


    Being only 18 years old, Palle hasnt been able to fully enjoy life yet. Being bald for the rest of his life would be a cruel fate.


    Still, Palle was prepared for this kind of life.


    No, just be patient. Itll grow back once you stop taking the anti-cancer drugs.


    I see. I cant help but not want anyone seeing me during treatment


    nche was listening from behind the door as Palle spoke those timid words, and soon after


    Kyah!!


    Lottes scream echoed throughout the mansion.


    Lady nche, what did you do!?


    While Falma was running over to look, nche bound her long blonde hair together and cut it off with a knife.


    Why did you do such a thing your beautiful hair!


    Lotte took the knife out of nches hands and hugs her so she cant do it again.


    nche what are you doing!


    Falma couldnt find the words to ask nche, who held a handful of her own hair, what she was doing. For the children of nobles, long beautiful hair is an asset. To cut it without the permission of her mother, Beatrice, is just asking for trouble.


    Here, I want you to make a wig for my big brother with this. Even though big brothers hair is silver and mine is blonde, I still want you to do it.


    With a firm look, nche held out her own hair.


    Cant you use this?


    Due to the anti-cancer medication, Palles hair began to and will keep falling out. In response to this, hell shave the remainder of his hair off. nche thought that if Palle wears a wig, then hell be able to go outside or meet with others.


    I would have preferred you ask me before cutting your hair.


    Knives are dangerous, and it would have been unbearable for Falma if nche got hurt.


    But, right now big older brother and small older brother are both trying their best


    nche was thinking about what she could do to help.


    Oh, Im sure Palle will be happy. Lets make a beautiful wig afterwards.


    Aii


    Falma patted nches head. Meanwhile, the hair that was cut off was sent to the wigmaker, who was confident that such high-quality hair could be made into a beautiful blonde wig.


    Under the circumstances, neither Beatrice nor Bruno scolded nche for her selfish actions.


    And then the 18th day of treatment began.


    Bear with me, older brother


    Falma drew and examined Palles blood, then shouted out in excitement. Bruno and Falma entered Palles room together. It seemed like there was a faint smile on their lips.


    Good news


    Bruno also spoke.


    Good news?


    Due to the side effects of anemia as well as his fatigue, Palle was exhausted. Additionally, because his hair had been cut very short, he seemed dispirited.


    Since the beginning of treatment 16 days ago, older brothers leukemic cells have decreased by two orders of magnitude and now ount for 3% of cells in the bloodstream.


    what does that mean? Theres still more?


    Its fine, Falma says as he shakes his head. The leukemic cells in the bloodstream wont immediately disappear. Nevertheless, bybining ATRA and anti-cancer medication the amount can be reduced below 5% which falls within a certain guideline. That is to say


    Complete hematological remission. Im happy.


    Congrattions, big older brother


    As Falma finished talking, nche entered the room with arge box in her hands.


    What are you holding?


    Palle looks at the box and at nche.


    Well-, This-. I brought a present because big older brother worked hard.


    Can I open it?


    Yes


    This is


    nches gift to Palle was a wig, which he epted with aplex expression. He regretted how short nches hair had be but understood why she chose to cut it. Palle expressed his gratitude to everyone and said, Thank you all.


    On the 18th day of treatment the remission induction therapy seeded.


    With the help of Falma and his family, Palle had ovee the first obstacle.


    Palle, who had escaped the brink of death, began to take the first steps towards rejoining society.

 Volume 3 - Ch 15.1

    In a room on the second floor of the de Mdicis.


    Hmm I look good no matter what I do. A handsome bald man. Its almost a crime to be this beautiful, hahaha!


    Palle posed in front of a mirror while wearing the blonde wig made from nches shiny and wless hair. He was pleased with how he looked and decided to keep this new hairstyle.


    Big older brother, its the same as nches-


    nche pulled on her recently shortened hair with both hands to emphasize the simrity in color.


    Hahaha, of course its the same! Its your hair! Thats right, hahaha!


    Palle mimicked nche and pulled on his hair, causing his wig to fly off his head.


    Oh, stop it! Dontugh at me, brother


    Palle looked at the hair that didnt belong to him with a quiet expression. Falma was about to burst intoughter. Palle was also feeling cheerful today.


    Previously, Palle was a handsome man with silver hair who gave off a cool impression. After switching into the blonde wig, he left a much sweeter impression.


    Even after enduring the painful leukemia treatment, and after shaving his head bald in order to prepare for the hair loss, Palle was never pessimistic but instead always had a positive outlook. Falma thinks that here, he was saved by his brother.


    Brother, youre always like this. Youre too brash


    I dont want to be like him, Falma thinks.


    Why are you so humble? People like you arent popr


    To Falmas annoyance, Palle was trying to convince him that women like men who are assertive.


    Umm- I know. Mom said that small old brother is popr


    This is the first time Im hearing about it. Tell me more


    Palle wanted to hear more about Falma in detail.


    Wh- No!


    Falma pretended to chase nche who, while giggling, ran out of the room.


    Speaking of which, Palle suddenly said with a serious expression while wearing his wig. He asked Falma a question.


    Even though its calledplete remission, there are still leukemia cells, right?


    Exactly. Brother is currently inplete hematological remission. In other words, there are almost no observable cells when using a microscope. However, theres still around 1 billion leukemia cells in your body


    Falma draws a graph to exin to Palle.


    Ngh- theres so many!


    Palle couldnt feel relieved at all. Instead, he felt a sense of panic grow within him when he thought about remission. nche, having overheard that there are 1 billion leukemia cells, stood there with her mouth agape.


    If you cant stop thinking about it, just remember that its already decreased from 1 trillion


    Oh.. its still not good enough. I cant waste more time, what should I do next?


    Palles expression became obedient. He wanted to speed up the treatment.


    After no more leukemia cells can be seen using a microscope, lets aim for 100 million leukemia cells. This is known asplete molecr remission


    Well, are you going to use the same medicine?


    Palle nervously swallowed.


    Ah, Ill use three more courses of the same medicine. Keep taking ATRA and anti-cancer drugs. If there are no recurrences in 3 years, its probably fine. If there are no recurrences in 5 years, it can be considered cured


    That way, even if the number of leukemia cells dont go to zero, its said to be cured.


    It seems so far off. So, will we move onto the next treatment soon?


    If I ovee the trials and tribtions in this test from the Medicine God, surely, Ill get something good out of it, thought Palle optimistically.


    Take a break, until the normal cells in your bone marrow have recovered


    If this were a hospital, then under the current circumstances the patient would be sent home for a while.


    However, this is Palles home, so its only a break.


    Yay


    Even under these normal circumstances, Palle was much more cheerful and so his expression was even brighter.


    Yay, brother! Higher!


    Palle lifted nche up and down in the room.


    When can I go back outside?


    You can go outside. Ille with you


    Palle kicked off his pajamas. Feeling like he didnt have any time to waste, he started changing his clothes. Falma was worried about the risk of infection, so he went with Palle. nche had free time so she came along as well.


    And thats why my brother and sister were walking around in the imperial capital.


    Palle took in the citys air for the first time in a long while. He had been under treatment for around a month now, so it was almost February.


    Ahhh the city air is so good


    Where do you want to go?


    Oh yeah, over there


    When nche asked Palle where he wanted to go, Palle pointed towards the cathedral.


    Ehh, again? Lets go eat some yummy food


    When Palle entered the cathedral, he knelt before the statue of the Medicine God and began to pray. nchezily walked to the statue of the Water God.


    Thanks to you, I was able to ovee this challenge


    Palle earnestly informed his guardian deity. Falma wanted to pretend to be the Medicine God and say, well done, but decided not to trick his brother this time. Also, the head priest was clearly peeking out from the shadows behind a pir.


    Thank you very much for lending your aid through my brothers hand


    It was then that that happened.


    (My brothers head is in danger!)


    Because Palle had prostrated himself, his wig was starting to slip off. Falma resisted the urge to fix the wigs position.


    I had the unique experience of being a patient for a serious illness. This was a trial imposed by the Medicine God for the sake of my growth, wasnt it.


    Palle lifted his head, and the wig immediately slipped off. He looked around and checked that no one saw, then put the it back on.


    Falma also didnt see anything.


    Big older brother, little older brother, Im finished my prayers


    Finished already? nche, your prayers are too sloppy! Did Falma pray to the Medicine God yet?


    Mmm? Ahh, uhh


    Palle didnt notice that the cathedral floor around Falma was glowing.

 Volume 3 - Ch 15.2

    After strolling through the city and socializing with people, Palle went home with nche. Falma stayed behind and, having been away for a long time, was finally able to return to the Diversis Mundi Pharmacy.


    Ive missed this ce


    The staff were taking their lunch break, so they went up to the second floor from the back door.


    When Falma entered the room, the three people all looked up at once.


    Ah, Falma-sama! Its been a while!


    Lotte rushed over.


    Im back! Here, I bought some delicious tea. Lets drink it together


    When Falma handed the tea tin to Lotte, she was overjoyed and hugged it tightly.


    Ill also go prepare some delicious sweets to go with the tea!


    Wee back, Falma-kun


    Ellen appeared to be relieved as she stared at Falma.


    Thank you for everything youve done, Ellen, Lotte, Cedric-san. Sorry I left all of this on you


    Haa-, I was really lonely without you. Its strange how the child manager of a pharmacy is also the most important person here


    As Ellen weed Falma back, she wiped her sses. She seemed relieved.


    While Falma was away, a part-time first-ss pharmacist was able to formte medicine but only Ellen could diagnose patients. As such, she was under constant pressure to ensure that diagnoses were urate. After all, patientse to the pharmacy for medicine that works. Ellen didnt want to betray the patients trust or give the impression that all the pharmacists except for Falma were useless.


    Ellen, youre a bit thin


    I am thin! Ive had stomachaches everyday


    It was caused by stress. Ive done something bad, thought Falma with regret.


    Do you have any stomach medicine?


    Its not that


    I trusted you, Ellen. Thats why I could leave things to you


    You overestimate what I can do, Falma-kun~


    However, Ellen had worked with Falma on numerous cases and so with the exception of particrly difficult cases, she could diagnose the general points. Also, Falma gave her a diagnosis flowchart for diseases which she could rely on when taking care of patients.


    Lotte-chan helped me a lot. Cedric-san helped me too


    Falma-sama and Palle-sama have been working hard. Eleonor-sama has been trying her best as well


    While Falma was gone, Lotte was responsible for liaising between Falma and Ellen and so she travelled back and forth from the mansion to the pharmacy.


    Ok, everyone! The fruit galette is done! Lets have some of the high-quality tea that Falma-sama bought


    Lotte had baked a crepe-like dessert called a galette and stuffed it with various fruits. She set the galette and a tea set in front of Falma and the others. She was getting better and better at her hobby of making sweets.


    Its Falma-samas wee back party! Ahhhh~ it smells good


    Lotte pours some tea.


    Thank you. Starting from today, Im going to being back to work


    Although he would have preferred to be in the pharmacy, Falma was often away recently due to unavoidable circumstances.


    In any case, Palle-kun  everythings fine now, right?


    Everything isnt fine yet, but Im not hovering between life and death anymore


    Ellen was surprised by Palles choice of words.


    Ehh? It was that serious? Didnt you say it wasnt that big of a deal?


    I was at deaths door


    When she found out that things were worse than she imagined, Ellen was flustered.


    Jeez, Palle-kun, you dont need to act strong. I dont care about our rivalry if you dont get better


    Ellen firmly voiced her thoughts.


    So, whats Palle-kun doing at home then? Resting?


    Ive been proofreading the textbooks Falmas written so far and fixing typos and other mistakes as well as finishing the iplete parts


    The textbooks that Falma wrote make extensive use of medical and pharmaceutical terminology from Earth, so Palle is recing the foreign terms with words from this world.


    Falma can more or less use this worldsnguage. However, because its a differentnguage, there are some roundabout expressions, colloquialisms, and medical terms as well as umon sayings which didnt trante well. Those parts seemed off to Palle when he read them.


    As such, Palle brushed it up and drafted a more academic, professional, and high-quality text. This was a huge help to Falma. Moreover, Palle read all of Falmas work and urged him to continue.


    Eh? Did you say youre writing for Falma-kun? How does Palle-kun know how to write textbooks?


    Ellen is shocked that Palle was able to learn pharmaceutical knowledge from Falma and use it to write textbooks.


    Im writing the parts that Falma dictates. Thats how


    The process wherein Falma teaches Palle the pharmaceutical knowledge, Palle writes it down, and Falma confirms that its urate, was very efficient.


    As for Falma, he could write almost everything except for colloquial expressions, but he was slow at it. Furthermore, Palle had learned about chemistry at Novaroot Academy, so if Falma teaches him the chemical forms, hell understand them. As such, it was faster to exin new chapters to Palle and have him write it down.


    Falmas work was significantly reduced while Palle happily eximed Fwahaha, this is groundbreaking knowledge! Also, Palle liked cutting the paper for the mimeograph.


    The de Medicis pharmacist brothers really are amazing, are they not?


    Lotte said in praise of the two.


    including master-sama, and thats three people from the de Medicis family. As expected of a prestigious and noble family of pharmacists. Say, will those textbooks be used at universities?


    Thats what I intend to do. I was also thinking about this while treating my brother. I think that for the newly established department of pharmacology, needle skills for things like taking blood samples and other treatments should be required courses as well. Its impossible to treat diseases like leukemia simply by taking medicine and leaving the rest up to fate


    Arent doctors already doing what Falma-kun is describing?


    Pharmacists are best suited to handling drugs. Of course, this wont improve coordination with doctors, so itll be necessary to train technicians and have all sorts of inspection departments


    Falma wanted to not only educate the pharmacists, but also the doctors and technicians. If only the field of pharmacy improves but not the field of medicine, then itll be very frustrating.


    Well theres a medical school in the imperial capital of San Fleuve, but its not very well known


    Although Salerno Medical School is located in the imperial capital, its educational standards were low, and it wasnt very popr. After all, all the talented medical students attended the influential Novaroot Academy. Incidentally, the Imperial Medical School and Salerno Medical School were close to one another.


    What if you ask your father to teach at the Department of Pharmacology? As the dean, that decision is up to you, right?


    Said Ellen, bravely.


    Pharmacists cant pierce or cut people with needles, right?


    Its standard medical practice, but its not legal


    I thought so!


    Falma suddenly had an epiphany.


    TN: In Japanese, he thought that fish scales would fall from his eyes. Its a reference to the New Testament, meaning that someone is suddenly able to see a situation clearly

 Volume 3 - Ch 15.3

    That night at the dinner table, Falma discussed with Bruno.


    Sure, there were many times when I felt constrained by the rules of the medical school


    There are limits to just prescribing medicine. We need to train doctors who know can treat patients using injections or IV drips or the like


    Bruno moodily stroked his beard. He understood that new methods of treatment required new frameworks.


    Palle had an incredulous look on his face, but Bruno turned in favor of Falmas idea.


    Lets arrange a meeting with the faculty immediately


    After meeting with the faculty and discussing with Salerno Medical School, it was agreed that the Imperial Medical School and Salerno Medical School would merge into one single school.


    The newyout is like this:


    Department of Medicine  Previously the Salerno Medical School


    Department of Pharmacology  A faculty based on divine arts and traditional herbs


    Department of Drug Discovery  The faculty that Falma is the dean of. Responsible for dealing with new drugs


    Department of Clinical Laboratory Services  For training newb technicians (those who perform clinical tests on microbes and blood as well as pathological examinations)


    In total, there are 4 departments.


    Falma was in charge of the two-year curriculum for all the departments already, so in this regard his responsibilities didnt increase. All that changed was that instead of lecturing students of the Department of Drug Discovery in a ssroom, now he would be lecturing them in an auditorium.


    After all the students have been taught the fundamentals of medicine, its better to focus on a specific facultys curriculum. Then, after all the students understand the fundamentals of medicine, they can verify and select the correct treatment for what was once attributed to evil spirits in this world.


    It was good to try many different things, so in a few years there will be a lot of specialists.


    This was a bigger ordeal than I expected


    Falma was dumbstruck. Ellen was also shocked.


    Thats just how much teacher-sensei is betting on Falma-kun, right?


    TL: Those department names might end up changing if someone with a medical background knows what theyre actually called in the real world


    In time, it might even be possible to raise students and doctors who are on the same level as those on modern day Earth. Then the whole continent, or maybe even the whole world, can enjoy the same level of medical treatment that the imperial capital currently has.


    That was Falmas hope.


    Little by little, Ill do my best


    And so after two years San Fleuve Imperial Medical School, which used to educate pharmacists, was renamed to the San Fleuve Imperial College of Medicine and reborn as the foremost location for medicine and pharmacology within the San Fleuve empire.

 Volume 4 - Ch 1.1

    Many days passed, and now it was the middle of February 1147.


    As usual, the imperial capital was cold and snowy.


    Palle had taken back his only life from the clutches of death and survived leukemia throughplete hematological remission. Now he was undergoing maintenance therapy in order to keep the leukemia in remission. His progress was favorable as there were no visible leukemia cells under a microscope.


    TN: the author explicitly states that Palle is undergoing chemotherapy. As Palle has already reachedplete remission the author is likely referring to maintenance therapy, which can take several years and may include asional chemotherapy.


    In order to prevent an infection, Palle refrained from going outside. Instead, he wrote at an astounding pace. Aided by the speed of his ink brush, Falmapleted a series of textbooks titled de Mediciss New Foundations of Biopharmacy, each of which was almost 1in thick. Bruno then arranged for them to be bound and sold to various medical and pharmaceutical universities.


    (Its been a long time since I wrote a book, huh)


    In his previous life, Falma had published several textbooks on pharmacology. However, when he picked up one of the pristine textbooks that the mimeograph had printed, he couldnt help but be deeply moved.


    TN: Falmapares the thickness of the textbook to his intermediate phnx, in case you were wondering


    Falma gave Ellen a copy of the textbook so she could be the first to read it. Ellen epted the textbook, which had been wrapped, and put on her sses.


    Allow me to humbly read this, Professor Falma, and may you please continue to provide guidance and encouragement


    Whats the matter, did you eat something weird?


    Falma asked Ellen sarcastically after watching her act.


    Its a very impressive feat, did Falma-kun and Palle-kun write all of this?


    We each wrote about half, and Lotte drew a picture of the human body


    Lotte was also the court painter, and her illustration of the human body turned the textbook from an amateur production into something much more professional.


    Lotte-chan is really talented too, isnt she? Ill have to study this textbook a few times before I start university


    Thats right, because Im going to get you to take a course, so make sure you read it. now that Ive finished this, I have nothing to regret in life


    It wasnt an exaggeration to say that the two brothers had poured their heart and soul into this. Falma had taught the bare minimum of his pharmacology knowledge to Palle and even then, it was still a heavy burden for Palle to learn it all at once. Palles intelligence was a big help, thought Falma.


    If Palle wasnt able to learn everything, Falma couldnt just ask for a recement. He wouldve had to write the entire textbook himself and, in the process, wouldve worked himself to death again. When Palle returned from Novaroot half a year ago, he was an annoying and tiresome sibling, but now he was a brother who could be relied upon. Simrly, Palle also held his brother in high regard.


    Youre only 12 years old, dont go saying stuff like that!


    Ellen scolded Falma for looking too far ahead into the future.


    Thats right, you still have an entire life ahead of you!


    Lotte also encouraged Falma.


    Falma, who seemed to be burned out, thought that if he were to disappear from this world right now, at least he left behind a small amount of knowledge. In fact, he had left behind everything from general knowledge to specific details on medicine and biology, as well as detailed information on pharmacology. Furthermore, he also wrote down the molecr structures for all the drugs and chemical reactions that he knew. That way, when science and technology has sufficiently advanced and drug development is possible, they can go through Falmas notes one by one.


    Falma hoped that theyll be able to surpass what Falma remembers of Earths modern-day medical sciences and start the next chapter of their world.


    Lotte, Cedric-san, if youd like, please take a look


    Falma hands Lotte and Cedric the same packages.


    Thank you very much, Falma-sama


    Cedric humbly epted the gift.


    Eh, something this precious, are you sure!? I dont even understand what its about! Itll just be wasted on me!


    A smile lit up Lottes face, since she never expected to receive something like this.


    You were responsible for the illustrations, so of course you should receive a copy. Also, there are some things you should read, such as the section on emergency first aid. I left a bookmark there


    When the three unwrapped the textbooks, they found a pelt bookmark with a gem of their favorite color attached. It was Falmas gift to them.


    Falma-kun is really diligent, isnt he?


    Tell me Im the best


    Youre the best


    Cedric yfully praised Falma.


    Ara, Falma-san really is great. Oh, I forgot to deliver the medicine for Ambroise-sans husband to her!


    Ambroise-san works as a merchant and is Falmas patient because hes suffering from chronic gastritis.


    Oh no! Ill go deliver it!


    As Falma put on his ck haori and prepared to go outside, Lotte quickly grabbed the prescription bag.


    Ill go! If its the Ambroises mansion, then Ill be familiar with it


    Really? Well, thank you. If you would be so kind


    Lotte out of the pharmacy as fast as the wind.


    TN: gastritis is when your stomach lining is inmed, could cause nausea and even vomiting. Not fun

 Volume 4 - Ch 1.2

    Falma went downstairs to the first floor and handed out textbooks to the part-time pharmacists. The Other World Pharmacy currently employs three part-time pharmacists for Falma and Ellens convenience. They were chatting during their break, but when they saw Falmas figure they stopped and stood up.


    A textbook?


    It would be useful if they read it during their free time.


    My brother and I wrote it. Please read it, even if its little by little


    Thank you very much. Ill humbly read it


    Falma had recruited Roger, a first-ss pharmacist, from the Kingdom of Nedale while he was unemployed. Although he wasnt very fluent in the Kingdom of San Fleuvesnguage, he was still very talented.


    Th-th-thank you, shopkeeper-sama. Illmit this book to memory


    Reba, a second-ss pharmacist who recently graduated from university, looked delighted. However, she had a very timid personality and stuttered whenever she was talking with Falma.


    Mmm, its not necessary to memorize it. As long as you read and understand it, its fine


    Falma-kun, you have enough pharmacists, right? Im going to head out for a bit


    Be careful


    Ellen had patients of her own even before she started working with Falma. They were all powerful aristocrats and nobles. Every week, Ellen takes half a day off to care for them.


    Well then, I should do my best this afternoon as well


    Before his lunch break was over and immediately after Lotte had left on her errand, a carriage stopped in front of the pharmacy. The gatekeeper came to call for Falma, so he knew that a noble hade to visit.


    Unless theyre seriously sick, Falma typically wouldnt greet a visitor in person just because theyre nobility. However, if the visitor was a patron, hed greet them no matter what their social status was.


    Sorry, are you still on vacation?


    Mlodies hair was long and her makeup was perfect, making her look even more beautiful. She wore a white dress with a bustle, which was popr among the citizens. A delightful-looking dark-blue ribbon lined the frills of the dress. That the archduke Mlodie was able to go outside dressed so fancily was proof that her condition had stabilized. She took off her fluffy feathered hat and nodded at Falma.


    TN: There was a description of what a bustle looks like but I had a hard time tranting it while doing it justice, so just Google Victorian bustle if youre curious


    Hello, Falma-sama! I appreciated your gift and letter of gratitude the other day


    Falma had Mlodie makepressed oxygen canisters for Palles treatment, and naturally he sent her a thank-you letter afterwards.


    Likewise, thank you for helping with themission for thepressed air tank. To make something asrge asplicated as that in just a single day my brothers life was saved thanks to you. Hes very grateful


    Mlodies swift work had helped both Falma and Palle.


    Was it good? Could it withstand the internal pressure?


    Yes, Mlodie-sama appears to be in very good health. Her work is very fulfilling she goes on walks during the day, explores her territory, and works on hermissions. Recently, she also started going to evening parties


    The butler was happy to report on Mlodies condition. At this stage of treatment for schizophrenia, its very easy to rpse and develop other types of mental illnesses. Furthermore, during treatment patients may be lethargic or experience cognitive dysfunction. Fortunately, Mlodie didnt seem to be experiencing any of those symptoms.


    Is that so? Thats good. Lets reduce the dosage of the medicine


    Falma also changed thebination of drugs used, so he instructed the butler to inform him if anything unusual happens. With schizophrenia, it was necessary to not only observe the patient, but also the surrounding environment.


    Is there any chance that I can stop taking the medicine?


    In your current state, you could stop taking the medicine


    If you suddenly stop taking the medicine, theres a very high chance that the schizophrenia wille back. In order to prevent this, lets keep taking the medicine for now


    I understand


    Mlodie understood. Falma exined that given the especially good progress, she needed to endure for just a little longer.


    I dont want to live my life in a cage anymore. Thanks to Master Falmas medicine, I can spend the rest of my life in good health. Youre my benefactor. You gave me the gift of helping me recover my sanity


    No, I should be thanking you instead


    From Falmas point of view, hisrge orders of equipment for use at the Marseille pharmaceutical factory was alwayspleted on time and as requested, so he had no right to object to Mlodies unreasonable demands here.


    Now then, Ive hindered the other customers, so please excuse me


    Mlodie, smiling sweetly, stood up and brushed her hair back. It was at this moment that Falma suddenly had an ufortable feeling.

 Volume 4 - Ch 1.3

    Please, wait a moment. Mlodie-sama, may I see your hand?


    Verruca vulgaris


    Falma used his divine eye to confirm the disease  verruca, moremonly known as warts. Falma took Mlodies hand and brought it near his face to inspect the blood vessels under the warts.


    These warts were caused by viruses


    Falma exins the concept of viruses to Mlodie. Warts usually form in ces where the skin is injured so Mlodie, as a craftsman, must have hurt her hands a lot.


    Currently, there are no drugs which can cure this virus


    The human papillomavirus (HPV) has infected deep into the skin of Mlodies palm.


    No way it wont heal? Itll be very embarrassing if this increases


    However, there may be drugs which can treat this please give me a moment


    It was impossible to judge the effectiveness of liquid nitrogen as a treatment using Falmas divine eye, so he checked some other drugs instead.


    Salicylic acid


    Glutaraldehyde


    Theres a way to soften the stratum corneum of the wart, but its not always effective. In this case, it doesnt seem like it will work for Mlodie.


    At the same time, Lotte had just returned to the pharmacy from her errand and saw Falma unexpectedly grabbing Mlodies hand and bringing it close to his face. She was startled and quickly hid in the pharmacys shadows.


    I wonder if Ill have to leave the de Medicis familys mansion if I get married maybe Ill only get to see Falma-sama at the pharmacy


    Meanwhile, Falma had finished examining Mlodies hand. He waspletely ignorant of what had just happened, and instead began to exin the treatment process.


    Theres no way around it. Well freeze the warts using liquid nitrogen. After that, you can return to your mansion for some tea


    Theres no cure for verruca vulgaris, so the typical treatment is to use liquid nitrogen to freeze the skin until it bes necrotic. Then, the infected area can be shaved off little by little. Its normal to not use any anesthesia when treating with liquid nitrogen. However, there may be a sharp pain, so it was important that Mlodie didnt identally activate her mes.


    Mlodie is a me arts user, so if she identally evaporates the liquid nitrogen, then the treatment cant continue.


    Ok


    Mlodie looked puzzled.


    What would you prefer? A way that may hurt more, but takes less treatments, or a way that may hurt less, but takes more treatments?


    Im in pain, so its better if it doesnt hurt


    Mlodie was scared.

 Volume 4 - Ch 1.4

    Understood, today well try a treatment that doesnt hurt. Lets start by applying the anesthetic


    I think the anesthetic worked


    Mlodie showed Falma her hands


    Understood


    Falma left for thepounding room


    Liquid nitrogen


    Liquid nitrogen at -196 C was materialized into a low-temperature-resistant container and a cotton swab was dipped into the fluid. This caused the tip of the swab to freeze and maintain a super-low temperature.


    Well then, lets freeze it


    Falma returned to the store and applied liquid nitrogen on the warts on Mlodies hand using the swab. While prolonged exposure to liquid nitrogen is usually very painful, short bursts dont hurt as much. Furthermore, Mlodie is anesthetized, so she felt almost no pain at all.


    Is it over already?


    When Ellen returned from treating her patients, she found Lotte sitting on the stairs in front of the pharmacy.


    Lotte-chan, what happened here?


    In front of the pharmacy were numerous snowmen which Lotte had absentmindedly built with the snow that had fallen onto the ground. They were so beautiful, they seemed like they woulde to life.


    However, as a result Lottes hands had turned red and swollen.


    Oh my, you built all this with your bare hands even though your guardian deity isnt the water god what happened?


    I got immersed in building the snowmen, and now my hands really hurt


    Lotte sadly sniffled


    Aaaa! Dont go inside, Ellen-sama!


    Oh, whys that?


    Thats- Mlodie-sama is inside right now with Falma-sama


    So hes treating her, right? Whats wrong with that?


    Lotte was flustered


    Falma-sama is proposing right now so I dont think we should interrupt them


    Ehhh? Proposing?


    Ellens voice cracked out of shock at hearing those words


    Falma-kuns proposing so there was someone he liked after all! Hes normally so quiet


    Ellen still thought of Falma as a child, but at 12 years old it wasnt unreasonable to be thinking about marriage. Ellens father, the Count, had started introducing her to love stories little by little, so it was also at the back of her mind.


    At that moment, Mlodie exited the pharmacy with her butler. She looked very happy and cheerfully bid farewell to Ellen and Lotte with a goodbye, thanks for taking care of me. Then she entered her carriage and departed for her mansion.


    What do you think?


    Ellen whispered to Lotte


    She seemed happy, but I think thats natural. Aaaa, did Mlodie-sama ept Falma-samas proposal? Falma-sama is such a gentleman, even Mlodie-sama


    It sounded as though Lottes very soul had escaped her. Suddenly, and with terrible timing, Falma spoke up from behind the two.


    Thanks for running the errand, Lotte. Were youte? Ah, Ellens here too


    It was no big deal. I think some kids came to y in front of the pharmacy which is why there are so many snowmen


    Lotte was startled by Falmas question and came up with an excuse


    Lotte-chan built so many snowmen that shell going to get frostbite


    Ehhh let me see


    Falma was surprised and reached out for Lottes hands. The warmth of Falmas hands that were nonchntly extended caused Lottes heart to race.


    When Falma heard the story, heughed in embarrassment. It was a funny story.


    I was just examining Mlodies hand, since there were warts


    Really? Is that really true?!


    Lotte trusted Falma, and her voice rose in delight.


    What did you think it was?


    Nothing in particr!


    That day, Lotte was in such a good mood that she served more luxurious snacks that they could eat.

 Volume 4 - Ch 2.1

    One day, in the Office of the Empress in the Imperial Pce of San Fleuve.


    I see


    Bang!The Empress mmed the textbook shut.


    Falma and Palle gulped.


    They were, after all, the primary and secondary authors of the textbook that she was holding.


    I dont get it


    (Even though its regretful, its to be expected)


    Falma thought to himself.


    Its a medical/pharmaceutical textbook printed by a mimeograph, right? Thats all I can understand


    I wonder if this textbook will be added to the list of new inventions. Itll be added, right? the Empress asked the two who had presented the textbook. Palle anxiously interjected, I dont know if Ill ever get to present anything to Her Majesty in my life again. Let mee! Because the flu was prevalent within the pce, Palle was worried that he wouldnt be allowed to go due to the risks of infection during chemotherapy. However, Falmas sanctuary would keep him safe as long as he was nearby, so they both went to the ceremony.


    Palle, who was feeling the pressure of a once-in-a-lifetime moment, caused Falma to be nervous as well.


    de Medicis brothers, this is an admirable achievement


    Haha-


    Im honored


    ude


    Yes


    The Empress beckoned for the Chief Court Physician, who happened to be present, and handed him the textbook. As usual, he was wearing a ck coat with a ruffled cor.


    As the Chief Physician, evaluate this book for me


    Understood, I shall read it now


    After wrapping up her work with the Secretary of State, the Empress elegantly drank the tea on her desk, then pointed at her stomach.


    Its noon, Im a bit hungry. You must be hungry too, right? Why not eat with me?


    Falma, Palle, and ude were invited to lunch (le Petite Couvert)


    Im honored


    Palle was allowed to eat next to the Empress. It was one of the highest honors which could be received, and he wanted to boast about it for the rest of his life. Falma, who ate with the Empress after every examination, decided not to say anything.

 Volume 4 - Ch 2.2

    TN: Check out the Table of Contents for links to the raws


    The Empresss meal was open to the court.


    The meal was informal, but still prepared elegantly. The Empress sat at a round table near a window which had been left open. After observing that the Empress had been seated, Falma and Palle both took their seats as well. Servers then brought wet napkins with which they wiped their hands. Finally, Falma and Palle used their water divine arts to fill their fingerbowls and cups.


    As the Empress was a fire-based divine art user, a dedicated water-based divine art user stood by to provide water for her.


    There were many court officials waiting around the Empress. To have a meal while being watched by so many people, Falma wasnt surprised to find that it was like dining in the court of Frances Louis XIV.


    Falma, youre here! Did youe to examine my mother?


    The Prince entered and weed Falma.


    Come hunt rabbits with me


    Its been a long time, Your Highness. We can go rabbit huntingter, but before that, please allow me to examine you as well


    How do you know His Highness?Palles eyes seemed to ask.How can someone unqualified like you provide medical examinations to the royal family?


    10 tes of hor doeuvres, 3 tes of meat, 2 tes of fish, and 4 tes of entremets. They were brought out on high quality silverware, and there were small marks indicating that a food taster had already tested it. The food was even more luxurious than what could be found on the dining table of the de Medicis family. It was truly worthy of being called a royal meal. Falma and Palle chatted with the Prince and the Empress while enjoying a slow meal, as ude reviewed the textbook in a side room.


    Thank you for your hard work, why dont youe and join us?


    Yes, thank you for the invitation. Ive more or less read through the entire textbook. I have just one question, where did Falma-shi learn this knowledge?


    Falma and ude stared at each other, but Falma kept quiet.


    cant you tell me?


    udes attitude had changed, as though Falma had just insulted him. Noticing this, the Empress quickly jumped to Falmas defense.


    Ah, ude. Dont bother the boys


    TN: -shi is used to refer to your teacher/master, like  (shishou)


    Its true. Right now, this is less of a textbook and more of aption of my wild ideas


    Falma suddenly agreed with ude.


    Geh- Falma?!


    What are you saying?thought Palle who, flustered, had tried to rebuke Falma. However, Falma continued to talk.


    As cases are collected and more and more scientists and pharmacists begin to use science-based techniques, we can analyze the results with statistics. If the techniques are found to be effective, then weve improved our knowledge


    Then, Falma turned to face the Empress.


    This is the first scientifically-urate textbook


    Ho.


    The Empress was overwhelmed by Falmas words.


    Ah! As far as the section on leukemia goes, Ive personally verified it with my own body


    Palle also jumped to Falmas defense.


    Upon hearing those words, a curt smile formed on udes lips. He returned the textbook to the Empress just as Falma suddenly remembered,


    Ive also prepared a copy for the Chief Physician. I hope youll ept it


    I appreciate it, thank you


    ude expressed his gratitude as he epted the textbook.


    Verifying this will take at least a hundred years, no, two hundred years


    udes intuition is correct, agreed Falma. Currently, the technology required to verify the techniques in the textbook simply didnt exist in this world.


    Falma appreciated udes sincere attitude when confronted with new information to learn.


    The Empress listened to ude and pondered for a bit,


    In that case, Ill leave verification of this textbook to you and the imperial court physicians. Prioritize objectivity above all else and let mistakes be immediately discovered and corrected. If it truly takes two hundred years to verify, then we shall begin immediately


    As youmand, I cant be uninvolved with this book


    ude winked at Falma.


    Falma and Palle, who didnt understand what ude meant, blinked.

 Volume 4 - Ch 2.3

    Your father invited me to be the new dean of the Department of Medicine


    (Is that so? I didnt realize)


    It seems that Bruno has made all sorts of arrangements behind the scenes.


    Recently, hes been so focused on the college that he often doesnt return home. Incidentally, while ude and Bruno have a healthy rivalry as the Chief Physician and the Head Court Pharmacist, it seems that theyve joined forces on this matter.


    A coboration between physicians and doctors and between the Departments of Medicine and Pharmacology would be a very powerful one.


    Thats very reassuring. Thank you


    Youll be appointed as the dean of the Department of Drug Discovery. Also, youll be a professor


    Upon hearing those words, Palles eyes widened and he practically chocked in surprise. Seeing as he hade to the imperial court, there was no point in hiding it from Palle anymore.


    Ive been arrogant


    Thats why were having this conversation. If youre going to the same college, then youll hear whats been told to the students


    Speaking of ude, ording to Bruno and other court physicians, hes quite skilled at surgery. Almost all surgeries in this world are performed bare-handed, which results in a high post-operative mortality rate due to infections. ude is especially talented at sewing thin blood vessels together, and his patients dont bleed much during surgery. He works meticulously while using his god arts.


    Compared to the average surgeon in this world, his sess rate was higher.


    Your father wants to turn the Imperial College of Medicine into the worlds foremost provider of medical care. Its an extraordinary and ambitious thing to think about


    Isnt it interesting?ude asked with a bold smile.


    When she heard that, the Empress wiped her lips with a napkin, stopped eating, and asked,


    ude, youll support Falma, right?


    Im a physician, a medical scientist, and truthful. Ill always ept correct theories


    Im not stuck living in the past, was what ude expressed.


    Your Majesty, I would like to ask for permission for one thing


    After everyone had finished eating, ude suggested to the Empress,


    Will you permit the dissection of criminals executed by the Empire?


    Until now, medical students who wished to learn about anatomy would either watch their teacher perform a dissection or dissect an animal by themselves. However, ude thought that this results in an iplete understanding of anatomy.


    Thank you very much, Chief Physician-sama


    Falma bowed deeply.

 Volume 4 - Ch 2.4

    TN: Double-length part because it felt wrong to cut this scene in half, enjoy! Also, some terms were borrowed from the Catholic Church, and might be changedter if a better name is found or if the manga trantes it differently


    Late February of the year 1147. During a harsh winter.


    The Great Church was located far away from the Empire of San Fleuve. The singing voices of priests rang out from the Holy Kingdoms chapel, and priests, apprentice priests, and shrine maidens hurried through the central square. Snow fell in thickyers on the roofs of the shrines, and frost-covered statues of various gods lined the hallways. Pdins were evenly spaced, keeping a watchful guard.


    The shrines most important area was not located aboveground, but rather was underground instead. The elegant architecture aboveground was mainly for the benefit of tourists and religious followers. Underground was abyrinth of powerful anti-evil barriers which could withstand attacks from evil spirits around the world.


    Right now, however, an annual meeting was being held in a conference room aboveground. At this meeting was the high priest, the leader of the Holy Kingdom. Also in attendance were 10 cardinals, as well as the head priests from parishes around the world.


    There were more than 100 priests from around the world. The conference room was shaped like arge bowl, and in the center was seats for the high priest and cardinals as well as an altar.


    After greeting and praying for the High Priest Pius, the cardinals reported on the state of each nations parish, followers, and activity of evil spirits.


    There is something that I need to tell you about


    At the outset of the meeting, one of the cardinals who was serving as the chairman made a shocking announcement


    There is a chance that at this very moment, a guardian deity has descended to our world


    Whats wrong, cant you do it? Take the oath


    The high priest solemnly ordered. Solomon decided that it would be the most obedient towards his faith if he remained silent. The light in Piuss eyes grew sharper.


    So, you do know where in the imperial city has the guardian deity descended?


    It would be an inconvenience if he returned to the heavens, so we need to quickly invite him here


    The cardinal wanted to restrain the guardian deity.


    Thats true, Solomon agreed silently. He responded in a confident voice.


    Even if the guardian deity was in the imperial city, I believe that non-interference is the best option. What could the Great Church do besides interfere with guardian deity-sama?


    What are you saying?! Its the duty of a priest to ensure that the guardian deity spends their time in the cleanliness of the Holy Kingdom, not in the dirtiness of the outside world. We must invite him here at once


    The cardinal was indignant.


    However, that was only the official position. Ever since the ancient times, whenever a god descended to the world they would be restrained. Their divine power would be exploited and used in secret ceremonies. They were hidden away under false pretenses so the Great Church could strength its power over the rest of the world.


    As a result, the guardian deities patience with mankind was depleted, and they retreated to the heavens. No matter how many times it happened, the Great Church never learned.


    Solomon quietly sighed.


    I like where the guardian deity is staying, its one of my favorite ces. Hes there for a reason, and humans shouldnt dictate where a god should be


    Currently, there is only one guardian deity in the world.


    It is the Medicine God, who resides in the body of Falma de Medicis. Unlike the previous guardian deities, Falma hasnt travelled the world nor forced his faith upon others. Hes stayed for over two years, opened a pharmacy, and interacted withmoners.


    It was an unusually long time for a guardian deity to stay.


    Recently, Ive established a positive rtionship that Falma relies on, thought Solomon.


    While Falmas blessings would benefit all of humanity, the same couldnt be said for the Great Church. All they can do is let Falma do as he wishes, record his legacy, ensure hesfortable and protect where he lives. All so he can stay for a little while longer.


    However, the high priest surely wouldnt understand that line of reasoning. They only saw Falma as a source of divine power and didnt care about his divinity or feelings.


    So, you wont confess?


    Piuss words were filled with anger.


    Its treason, then


    The cardinals surrounded Solomon. Its treasonous to conceal information from the Great Church, and by refusing to take an oath upon the holy scriptures or talk about Falma, it was clear that he would be tortured by the Holy Inquisition. He may even have his divine circuits forcibly closed.


    Theres been a breakthrough in the investigation. It seems that the Staff of the Medicine God and the Sword of the Moon God were swapped in aplex conspiracy involving the sacred treasures of numerous other cathedrals. Additionally, there have been reports from various regions that the Imperial Capital has continuously made revolutionary advancements in different fields including pharmaceutics. It must be that the Medicine God has descended within the Imperial Capital


    Your Highness


    Solomon turned to meet Piuss gaze and found himself unable to reply.


    It seems thats urate


    Pius concluded.


    All we need to do is look for a pharmacist who recently appeared in the Imperial Capital. Theres no need to ask you anymore


    In the past two years, apart from Falma, no noteworthy pharmacists have appeared in the Imperial Capital. It wouldnt take more than a day to find out.


    It must have been the same pharmacist who was able to ward off the ck Death. Find him immediately.


    It seems that Falma was too conspicuous.

 Volume 4 - Ch 3.1

    Youre a court pharmacist?! Why didnt you tell me!


    Is that so I thought it would be easy for my brother to pass, it really wasnt that difficult


    Ah- is that right? You must be a big fan of sarcasm


    Sorry, sorry


    Falma thought that with Palles knowledge, he could be a court pharmacist after only one year of training. Although it might be unpopr for the de Medicis family to monopolize the position of court pharmacist, Palle had really great potential. He just didnt seem to understand.


    Parkinsons Disease

 Volume 4 - Ch 3.2

    Furthermore, using his divine sight, Falma could eliminate the possibility of other diseases.


    Thanks to my older brother, Ive found a new patient!


    Falma expressed his gratitude to Palle. Now he needed to go back and create a new medical chart for her. While Falma tries to examine all the courtiers every three months, he doesnt always use his divine sight and might miss some new patients.


    The drug should either make up for theck of dopamine caused by the buildup of synuclein, or inhibit the buildup of synuclein altogether


    It seems that Palle, who helped write the textbook, hasnt forgotten the correct treatment for this disease.


    Because this is early onset, we should start with l-DOPA or a dopamine receptor agonist first


    l-DOPA? Wont dopamine by itself work?


    Even if ingested, dopamine cant enter the brain because there is a system known as the blood-brain barrier which prevents molecules from passing through. l-DOPA (L-3,4-dihydroxyphenlanine) mimics the effect of dopamine, but has been processed to pass through the barrier. Lets think about this after seeing the results of the examination. Furthermore, because we dont know about the familys medical record, lets check family members as well.


    Youre right. My textbook is by no means perfect and as you know, there are some diseases which cant be cured


    Falma only knows of Earths pharmaceutics up to the 21st century. In order to advance further, the people of this world must work as one to acquire the new knowledge.


    I believe in my guardian deity, the Medicine God, from the bottom of my heart. He knows all that there is to know about pharmaceutics. Thats why I wonder why you wont teach us your knowledge. Is this mankinds next trial?


    Palle seemed to be worried about the true intentions of the guardian deity.


    The will of the guardian deity is unfathomable


    Palle quietly said.


    TN: I decided to trante the dialogue literally and provide context here, so I dont misrepresent what level of detail Falma is providing. If youre interested, please do some research on your own  its very interesting!


    A dopamine receptor agonist is the generic term for apound that activates dopamine receptors. Its usually used with, but not necessarily concurrently, l-DOPA.


    The blood-brain barrier prevents, among other things,rge pr molecules from entering the central nervous system. Dopamine is a pr molecule, and so it cant cross the barrier.


    Dopamine


    L-DOPA is both a pr molecule and an amino acid, so its transported across the barrier by L-type transport proteins. From there, it undergoes decarboxtion with the help of aromatic L-amino acid decarboxse to be dopamine.


    l-DOPA


    Finally, iPS cells are a type of stem cell, which itself is a type of cell that can differentiate into other types of cells. In this case, iPS cells may be derived into dopaminergic neurons, which can synthesize dopamine.

 Volume 4 - Ch 3.3

    Well, Im going to stop by the pharmacy to prepare medicine for a patient


    Well then, Ill freeze the warts again


    Falma quickly treated the warts with liquid nitrogen.


    Just a little more to go. I think itll be cured after one more session


    Thank you. The quick treatment has been really helpful


    Yeah, any growth beyond this wouldve been very troublesome


    Im d there was no pain because of the anesthesia too


    Liquid nitrogen is a painful treatment because typically no anesthesia is used, but Falma applied some topical anesthesia and that seems to have prevented any pain. He also carefully regtes the dosage of liquid nitrogen. There were so many warts that he had to be patient, but it paid off and progress has been steady. Furthermore, Melodie started drinking Jobs Tears tea with the hope that it would provide therapeutic benefits.


    Was that thest patient for today?


    Come to think of it, has Solomon-sane to the pharmacy today?


    Falma suddenly remembered and asked Cedric, who stopped working and put down his pen.


    No, I havent seen him


    I wonder what happened, maybe he caught a cold?


    Lotte thought about it as well. Its been a week since shest saw him.


    I see. Well, lets go together, Falma-kun


    After closing the pharmacy for the evening, Falma and Ellen went to the cathedral together. As they approached, Falma noticed that all the priests were new.

 Volume 4 - Ch 4.1

    Ellen and Falma were observing the cathedral when someone came outside. She was a devout believer and was often seen here. Ellen and Falma called her over.


    If were talking about treason rather than betrayal, thats quite a severe crime. The punishment could be the death penalty or the forced closing of ones divine circuits


    Its likely very serious, Ellen said again with a gloomy expression.


    I think its probably my fault


    Falma spoke haltingly as he confided his feelings.


    Im going to return this staff to the cathedral. Solomon-san lent it to me, but I think they suspect that he lost it


    But you cant use any other staffs, right? Isnt this just a waste of an opportunity? Wouldnt it be better to get permission to use it?


    Ellen was reluctant to return something that was unusable. However, its hard to deny that this was simr to stealing from the Holy Kingdom.


    I was able to use this through the generosity of Solomon-san, but I dont know the Holy Kingdom, so I dont think its right for me to keep using this. Ill return it and ask for Solomon-san to be released in exchange


    Falma resolved himself and entered the cathedral of San Fleuve. The atmosphere waspletely different from when Solomon was the head priest. Its dangerous to go alone, said Ellen as she followed him inside. When Falma stepped inside the cathedral, the floor lit up with a pale blueish-white color.


    The cathedrals floor had detected Falmas divine power and the entire cathedral was turned into a sanctuary.


    Eh-?


    Ellen was speechless. She didnt think the cathedral would glow in response to Falmas power.


    Isnt the cathedral amazing?


    Well, if this is the case, youll be found even if you try to hide


    It was Ellens first time seeing the cathedral react to Falma, so she was surprised. Ignoring her reaction, Falma looking around for the new head priest. Upon confirming that he wasnt in the chapel, Falma immediately headed towards the head priests office as Ellen followed. Light leaked out from behind the door to the office. The new head priest was inside. Falma raised his voice and called out.

 Volume 4 - Ch 4.2

    Edited/ Tranted: ckLotus


    Holy Land Infiltration


    Falma settled down and climbed into the Sanctuary of the Emperor San-Fleuve. The atmosphere of the church had changedpletely from when Salomon was the head priest.


    Its dangerous to go alone, said Ellen.


    When Falma steps into the church, the floor of the church glows pale and pulsating.


    This was the moment when the floor detected the power of Falma and the entire church bes a sanctuary.


    What?


    Ellen, who saw it, shouted. I didnt think the church would shine in response to the Falma.


    Thats right. Its the Holy Church.


    Im afraid I would be caught right away. . .


    Ellen was surprised because it was the first time she had seen the churchs reaction to Falma. Regardless of Ellens reaction, Falma found the new head priest. He had made sure he wasnt in the chapel. He went straight into the head priests room. Ellen followed. Light leaked through the door of the Head priests office. The new head priest seemed to be in the room. Falma called out in a loud voice.


    Good-day, I am sorry to trouble you when youre busy. May I have a word with you?


    What is it?


    The new head priest came out of the door with his cane on his back.


    He was on guard because there had been an abnormality all over the church. Perhaps the me of the candlestick, which caught fire at the sight of the divine power, was on fire. But he seemed to understand everything when he saw the Falma with the stick and the floor of the glowing church. He looked at the Falma from head to toe and smiled broadly.


    This is it. I was going to say a few words, but its an honor to be with you.


    The new head priest was a middle-aged man wearing sses.


    Nice to meet you, I am Com, the new head priest. Its good to see you, Medicine God-sama.


    My name is Falma de Medicis, not Medicine God. I thought you were looking for me, so I came. I apologize for using this for so long.


    He returned the wand to Com with both hands, but the Com didnt ept it.


    Then he said,


    I beg your pardon, but will youe and return it directly to the Holy Church? We cannot keep it.


    Coms words made Falma feel strange.


    Excuse me. Is the Holy church in the Holy Land?


    Ellen checks to Com. It is inconvenient for Falma, who cannot leave the imperial capital easily.


    You may not be able to hold it without a sheath, but if you hold a sheath, anyone can hold it without touching a cane. Wouldnt it be fine to give it back here?


    Because the wand prates organic matter, people cannot use it or hold it directly. But he knew that he could carry it in inorganic boxes and other things. So Salomon brought this wand to the pharmacy. Falma didnt always have the Medicine Gods wand on his hand. Sometimes, lying on the stone floor and leaning against it, and lying in a sheath on his loins.


    Still, I would be grateful if you coulde directly to the Holy Church and exin the circumstances.


    Falma was on guard when he heard the word Holy Church for Salomon had said that he might be taken into custody by the Holy Church. If they knew that he was possessed by Medicine God. As the guardian deity, aside from the fact that it would beplicated, if he went to the Holy Land, he would like to be excused.


    Its difficult for him to go to a Holy Land because he has work to do


    Ellen also seemed suspicious and tried to refuse.


    Id like to see you, Salomon-san. Where is he now? Can I see him at the church?


    Falma carefully chose his words.


    They must make concessions and find out where Salomon was detained.


    Yes, I think so.


    Hows Salomon-san?


    Falma didnt miss Coms nce for a few seconds. So Falma nailed him quickly.


    Isnt he alive?


    Yes, of course. I think that the veins were shut down to make them take some responsibility.


    Why the closure of the veins?

 Volume 4 - Ch 4.3

    Holy Land Infiltration


    Ellen sympathized with Salomon. Salomon, who lost his magical powers, must have been expelled from the church as amoner and must be in dire circumstances, waiting. Falma said to Com,


    Please send a dove to a Holy Land. Tell him that you will return the wand and go to the Holy Land to see Salomon. If I cant see Salomon-san, I wont go to the Holy Land.


    Even if the penalty has been decided, it will not be carried out immediately. Salomon was like being held, hostage. For Falma, Salomon was a good understanding person and the desire to protect him grew.


    All right. We will arrange for the carriage.


    Com wanted to hurry to the Holy Land for Falma.


    All right, but how are you going toe back, Falma? If you dont have a pharmacist, it will take you a week toe back from the Holy Land.


    Ellen worried that something might happen, so she would follow. Falma thanked Ellen for her kindness and asked Com-san


    Do you think its all right to wait for a while. I have a doctors duty to finish. I have a lot of patients, and some are dying when Im away.


    Some of the patients are undergoing chemotherapy. Palle is now able to use his own medicine to some extent. But without Falma around, he will be exposed to a variety of infection risks and will soon catch an infection.


    Salomons life is important, but Palles life and the patients life are also important.


    I can wait for a week or so.


    Com made a concession. They seemed to be a little flexible about it.


    Well, Im going to the Holy Land. Im sorry to have let you use the treasure at your disposal.


    Why, I dont care. Its Salomons fault.


    Com groaned in a good mood. Shortly afterward, however, Falmas next remark froze him.


    But I will onlye after I have told the Empress, Her Majesty Elizabeth


    Why, to your Majesty? What does the Empress have to do with it?


    Coms face, full of joy, turned pale and confused.


    As you may not know, my pharmacy had an imperial-owned and licensed pharmacy. I am prohibited from leaving the country without reporting to your Majesty.


    And!


    The San Fleuve Empire was the most powerful empire in the world today and the Empress who ruled it had a great deal of power.


    There is no country in the world today that can win a direct war against the San Fleuve Empire. It was no exception, even to the Holy Land, which monopolizes the secrets of magic arts and holds the supreme power of the world. Even if the priests shut down the veins of all the nobility in the San-Fleuve Empire and made them impotent, only by the strength of the peacetime soldiers, they would crush to death the little country such as Holy Land. It was also such a military power.


    If the crying children say a word to the Emperess and then officially leave the country, they will have to return Falma safely. He was not just a pharmacist who could have disappeared with the authority of the church.


    Ellen stopped at the dumbfounded Com.


    At the same time, he is one of the head court pharmacists. Meaning that he cannot easily leave within a few days.


    A head pharmacist is a pharmacist who has the most trusted position in the country.


    This empress was known for her short temper. Would she be in danger of losing her chief court pharmacist to the Holy Land?


    Well, yes, sir.


    Coms face twitched. He was scared when the empresss name came out. Though he was d to see the pharmaciste to the church on his own, he was not alone.


    His position in the empire was more solid than he had thought.


    Well Ill ask the Holy Church to judge.


    First of all, Falmas trip to the Holy Church was suspended. It was allowed that Falma should possess the staff until the judgment was rendered.

 Volume 4 - Ch 4.4

    Holy Land Infiltration


    Salomon-san, you said your veins were closed.


    On the way home from the church, Falma checks with Ellen.


    I think its harder for the head priest than to die.


    To put it bluntly, it was an irreparable treatment for a magician.


    Can the veins open and close?


    Yes, but I think theres a way to prevent it from opening again as I said, its probably over there. I hope its such a disgrace that you shouldnt kill yourself early.


    Ellen held her head that she was more worried about the proud head priest.


    That night, Falma returned to the house and could not sleep. I dont know what kind of treatment Salomon is being treated now because he has been forced from the position of head priest, and his veins have been closed


    I dont know what to do, but I felt responsible for involving him.


    If I enter a Holy Land, I wonder if something will happen.


    I remember Salomons words that Ive always exchanged.


    He said that he would go into the darkness to see the great treasure in the church and that it was possible. Salomon recognizes that they cant get into the house at night when security is weak. It is a temple which reveals the existence of Falma very keenly, but it does not react unless it touches the floor directly. In other words, you dont have to put your feet on the floor or touch the wall.


    Even though he sent a dove from the empire to the Holy Land to inform them of the existence of Falma, the letter would not yet have reached the Holy Land. In the meantime, if anything should happen to him, he could not sleep leisurely.


    Falma got out of bed, held his wand and opened the window.


    Shall we get on?


    I wanted to confirm his safety.


    No matter where Salomon was or where he was confined, he had the confidence to be able to find Salomon in an instant above the sacrednd by using his medical examination.


    Thats because Salomon has congenital abnormalities. I could see it from the Divine eye, but I didnt care about it as it didnt interfere with my daily life. Salomons characteristic is about one out of every 7,000 people.


    Judging from the number of priests, there must be only one person in a holynd.


    He was apletely visceral inversion, reverse to normal in all visceral positions.


    Salomon-san,


    At midnight, in the cell of a prison cell in a snow-bound holynd, Salomon, shuddering with cold, heard a little groan outside the window.


    What is it?


    Its Falma.


    Looking out of the window, I saw a boy floating on a stick. In the darkness, Falma came as far as the window of the prison.


    Oh, whats this, my dear Falma-sama?


    Salomon is surprised at the appearance of Falma.


    It was simply iprehensible to think how he hade to this point, and how he knew that Salomon was imprisoned.


    I know very little of the situation, but I dont know if its because of me I thought.


    It is a great distance from the Imperial capital to the Holy Land.


    Falma used his wand to fly. Falma has been heavily clothed to fly over the winter. Though his body trembled with cold.


    How did you know this ce?


    You have some instruments. I was worried, and Im d youre safe.


    Falma revels and rejoices in his safety. As expected, there was only one person who waspletely visceral in the sky above the sacrednd.


    Why, Im sorry, sir, for such a trifling man.


    Salomon wept with delight and regret.


    Thank you for your service, Salomon-san, and its nothing of the sort.


    Thank you. . . . .


    Salomon was too much obliged to say thest word.

 Volume 4 - Ch 4.5

    Holy Land Infiltration


    If I enter this cell, will I be detected by any special means?


    No, this cell is the priests who got their cane deprived from them. It is not made of that material.


    Falma erased the iron bars with the ability and slid through a small window into the cell.


    He also erased the iron handcuffs and footprints that they had.


    What art is this?


    Salomon was surprised, but he could no longer hide his hand to Salomon. He was a man to be trusted.


    Well, I dont think Im still a magician. Im afraid I cant feel your divine power.


    You shut down your veins, after all. Cant we reopen it?


    Falma feels like he cant do it. It was irreparable for Salomon.


    It depends on how you close it. For the three days, it will not open again.


    The Salomon fell on his head. Its already been five days since he was treated.


    Can you tell me how to open veins? Ill try.


    Falma wanted to try it.


    If it were closed over time, wouldnt it be possible to force it open with a stick? Thats what he thought.


    I dont think you can do anything impossible, but


    I want to try. Please tell me.


    Falma recited the long chant of Salomon, and ended up with a vocal chant.


    [The springing up the Holy Spring]


    The tip of the talisman wand hits Salomons chest and Falma gives him the image of returning his power. It is said that the veins are opened and closed with a cane attached to the head or heart. The heart is easier to open.


    .Its futile, ne?


    However, it was not so easy to open.The operation to open and close the veins waspleted and no tear was found.


    Yes, Ill put in my cane.


    Falma took the plunge and stabbed Salomon in the heart with the tip of his stick.


    Its an inverted visceral position, so stick it on the right side.


    Hii


    Falma knew that no matter where you stab him, he can prate without hurting his body. So I thought that if I stabbed him directly into the heart, I could attract the power of the gods.


    A pale light shed before Falma repeated the same long chant, thrusting it through.


    Huh!? Oh!


    This time things changedpletely. From the moment, Falma wished to open the divine veins of Salomon, the divine powers began to return to him. Divine power pervaded him, and more force flowed in, out of nowhere than before.


    I think its a miracle  thank you.


    Salomon could not stop his mouth, while his veins remained open. As Salomon wanted it, the power of the gods rose. He could not feel his power without a cane, but Salomon understood that it was not just a matter of course.


    Im d the Divine Power has returned. You cant close it anymore because you forced it to open.


    I was afraid I should be shut down again, but I didnt have to worry about it.


    Yes, it was held without a chorus, so I dont have a chorus to close.


    The chants of opening and closing the veins form a pair of chants when they are closed and when they are opened. If one side is unvoiced, it must be unvoiced when it is closed. In other words, it can only be closed by Falma.


    Lets run away before morninges.

 Volume 4 - Ch 5.1

    The priest sentries would discern in the morning that Solomon has regained his divine arts. Solomon was a head priest who lived and worked in the church. Since hemitted a treason, he has no other ce to reside. However, he can temporarily settle at the house of de Medicis Family.


    Anyways, I cant guarantee Solomons safety.


    A sentry will regrlye to monitor, maybe a few hours at most before he came back


    Lets hurry. If you escape bynd, youll be caught up by the priest sentries so lets fly. Medicine God Staff can seem to support two people. Solomon, dont touch the staff itself because its impossible with my strength to support both our weight


    Falma noticed a brass lock in the shape of the letter D, which was hanging at the entrance of a jail cell block. He removed the lock by erasing the some of the cell bar. Then he bundled the lock to the chain connected to Solomons cuffs then interlocked it to Medicine God Staff.


    T/L Note: Falma removed the jail bar using his non-elemental attribute erase which can disintegrate substances.


    I n to transport Solomon by dangling him to Medicine God Staff


    Right, bring that cloth to keep you warm


    Solomon who knew Falmas ability about erase asked him.


    Falma, could you make a wand with this bar?


    Oh, yes. However, a wand made of iron bar?


    In this way, Falma thought that the iron bar is made of special materials since Solomon requested it.


    There is no crystal stone to amplify the power, but if you chant the divine invocation and sanctify it, it will be be a divine wand at minimum


    Solomon said that a divine wand was sanctified by the priests. It can also be used as a regr wand however, the invocation to sanctify the wand is only known by the priests of the Great Church.


    Solomon possesses the secrets of the Great Church. Once known that he is alive and had escaped, it would be dangerous. From the Great Churchs perspective, Solomon cant be alive.


    There is a lot I dont know  I wonder if I could make a wand if I recite that divine invocation


    A human being must first practice and be a priest and cleanse himself, but it seems that Falma-samas body is originally pure. The Medicine God is the one after all who created it


    Did Medicine God made this staff using divine invocation?


    Its a semi-real staff, so it looks like special and exquisite because of the material


    I see


    I dont even know what material is the Medicine God Staff made of yet


    Falma noticed that the material of the Medicine God Staff is not made from the known elements in Earth.


    I also want to create my own divine wand since Ive promised to return this staff


    Falma hopes that his next wand/staff will have a simr performance to Medicine God Staff.


    Well  What would it be like to return a divine staff to the church that humans cant wield? You have utilized this staff to save many people and even the Imperial Capital. Falma-sama absolutely deserve the Medicine God Staff


    Solomon lowered his head and was dismal prior to what he said.


    Lets get out of here now!  Ah!!!


    As Falma tried to get out of the jails window, he found five sentries on patrol.


    The priest sentries came to patrol and was just around the prison. If one would escape through window, one would definitely be discovered.


    I think we can get out of here


    They opened the door of the unlocked cell and went to the aisle.


    Lets escape towards the underground passage of the cathedral downstairs. We can escape if we passed through the emergency exit of the cathedrals underground. Im sorry Falma-sama but please open this door


    Falma erased the locked iron door that leads to the emergency staircase. They walked downstairs and Falma suddenly remembered.


    By the way, you saidst time that the Great Treasure is at the underground of the cathedral?


    Yes


    Is it possible to take a nce before we escape?


    I dont think that theres a chance next time to return here at the underground of the cathedral. If possible, Id like to see the treasure before going home


    Only for a short time or else we may be caught up by the sentries


    Ill be just looking at it


    Here it is


    Both of them infiltrated into the special treasure vault deep underground where the Great Treasure is kept.


    Falma erased therge locked door


    In the center of the room, a treasure was disyed in a ss case on a luxuriously decorated pedestal. Solomon advises Falma before he took a step into the room.


    If you step on the floor, it will respond to Falma-samas divine power, so please approach the Great Treasure while floating


    Falma was grateful for Solomons urate information in regards to the matters and structure of the Great Church.


    Oh, thats the treasure


    Falma floats on a Medicine God Staff and approaches the Great Treasure. Solomon acts as a lookout at the entrance and watches over Falma.


    Does the Great Treasure react when you touch it?


    Because human beings cant touch the Great Treasure, they be responsive only when the ss case is opened and not when you pick them up

 Volume 4 - Ch 5.2

    Trantor: Ese


    I feel like a thief.


    Im going to touch it


    What? How would you touch the treasure without opening the case?


    Falma raised his hands and extends it towards the ss case. His hand prates and reached out through the ss. Carefully minding that he would trigger the rm, he grabbed the Great Treasure and slips it out of the ss.


    Oh  never would I thought that itd really exist!


    It was translucent and had been hidden away, but it was undeniably.


    Its my official idendity card .


    His lifelong identity card. If his memory was correct, he would have died with his identity card in his breast pocket. It seems that his identity card back on Earth was also transferred in this realm.


    What kind of miracle would ur? Since it is a treasure of Medicine God, is it going to produce a miracle?


    Nothing of that sort would happen. This is just an identity card


    Falma thinks that there should have been something else thatve been transported aside from his identity card. For example, mobile phones and Personal Computer (PC). He thought that if he couldve produce electricity, he could use it for a variety of purposes.


    He sighed wondering why he came here with his identity card.


    What are the features of that identity card?


    Solomon is thrilled to hear about the purpose of the identity card.


    Aside from identification of personnel. Well, it could unlock certain facilities


    Aboratory


    Where are the certain facilities?


    Solomon further asked question. The secret of the Great Treasure was about to be revealed.


    Oh, its not in this realm


    A key to a ce that is not in this world. I see


    Solomon thought


    Before. Solomon-san, you mentioned that the Medicine God used the power of holy spring to return to heaven


    Falma remembered Solomons words.


    Where do you think that spring is?


    It is not written in the scriptures that we can read. It may be in the original scriptures which could only be viewed by the High Priest


    Solomon who spoke up to that point suddenly heard a noise.


    I feel like I heard a voice. Lets get out of here


    I agree


    I want to know more about this identification card Lets borrow it for a while


    Falma took the replica in his pocket andpared it.


    I guess itll be found out if I rece the original with replica as it is.


    The replica identification card is borately painted iron te. Falma made a ss made of SiO2(Silicon dioxide) on the spot, made it the size of a card, ced the iron replica te on it, and erased the Ironponent. Then only the picture of the replica is transferred to the ss te.


    T/L Note: The SiO2(Silicon dioxide) created by Falma is not a sand (one of the 3 main ingredients in non-crystalline ss) but a quartz  a crystalline ss.


    Furthermore, Falma coated the surface of the replica with reflective material to make it look like the original. He also enchanted it with divine power and subjected it to moderate frosted ss processing.


    The replica card is gleaming with Falmas divine power and is also translucent.


    Done. How is it? It looks exactly like the original Great Treasure


    Solomon was stunned.


    Well, it is


    Falma enclosed the replica with both hands. He then concentrated his divine power thus allowing the replica card to be a part of his body then turns it into semi-entity (in order to prate the ss case without activating the rm). Falma then ced the replica inside the ss case.


    Though its not my original body, it seems that this body is useful


    Falma realized that his semi-entity body proves to be advantageous aside from having no shadow.


    Im just going to borrow it for a while. Ill return it after


    In the first ce, all the divine treasures belong to the Guardian Deities. They are just kept by humans


    Thats when


    I heard a voice from here!


    The sentry priests rushed in. The group consists of 10 sentry priests armed with divine wands.


    It looks like weve spent too much time here


    Falma turns around and don his hood to hide his face. He then also inserted the original Great Treasure inside his pocket.


    Solomon also hid his face using the cloth he brought from his cell block.


    Intruders!? Who are you!


    Im sorry. I didnt touch the treasure!


    In the dark, they cannot see each others faces. Falma and Solomon cant hide their presence since some luminescence are radiating from the Medicine God Staff. It seems that a sentry priest noticed Solomons escape and notified a group to arrest Solomon.


    Flche de ce (Ice Arrow)


    The invocation was casted by one of the priests, and countless ice arrows flew.


    Dangerous!!!


    Falma casted a chantless invocation and holds his staff while envisioning an image of a melting arrow. Then the ice arrow casted by the priest evaporates.

 Volume 4 - Ch 5.3

    Trantor: Ese


    Its a divine skill of the Divine Art of Water under calefaction(heating) that Ellen taught Falma. However, Chantless Technique is rare and the priest cantprehend what Falma had done.


    What did you do!


    Two priests then put the tip of their wand together. It is the pre-reaction of the divine skill resonance which increases the power of the divine skill.


    Enfer de brlure (Scorching Hell)


    Arge scorching me propels towards Falma.


    Do you really use arge me system in such a closed area space?


    Falma decided what to do if he loses oxygen since the me consumed arge amount oxygen.


    Please retreat!


    Falma told Solomon sharply.


    The intruder has a divine art attribute of water


    One of the sentry priest shouted


    Leave this to me


    Solomon draws a straight line on the stone floor with the improvised wand made of iron bars. The floor stone, enchanted with divine power from Solomons divine art then rises from the floor.


    Colre de terre (Wrath of the Earth)


    T/L Note: The earth refers to ground ornd. It does not refer to the Earth.


    The stones that rises from the floor are given directional control by Solomon, thus propelling the stones towards the priests.


    Wow!


    Even though the water attribute priests deployed an ice barrier, the thin barrier was easily shattered.


    Its a high-level divine art user with earth attributes!


    Solomon did not intentionally hit them, but the power was tremendous such that several pirs of the Great Temple were damaged. It seems to have been perceive enough as a threat.


    Im sorry, but were going to have you immobilize


    Solomon chants and endowed a divine power into his temporary wand, he then threw it towards the priests. The timing was calcted then Solomon triggered the activation chant.


    Espace du sable de derive (Quicksand Field)


    Though Solomon lost his temporary wand, the effect was outstanding.


    At the same time as the chanting, the floor of the cathedral crumbles, copsed and became a fine sand. It was further broken down and turned into quicksand.


    What!?


    This is!


    The priests tried to escape but a white line marking the area of divine art is engraved on the floor.


    The priests lost their footing and slipped down the stairs as they were caught in the quicksand inside the area of divine area.


    Solomon lost his temporary wand, but his opponents are immobilized.


    Falma is floating with a Medicine God Staff, ncing down at arge hole on the floor.


    Falma does not intend to bury the priest alive in the sand to escape from the cathedral. Falma was relieved that only bruising was the damage inflected upon looking at the priests.


    You can get out in the hole in a day


    A day..!


    Falma is worried about the priest but the hole is open and a relief wille.


    We have to escape Falma-sama. The exit is here


    Solomon-san is a person who does quite a bit when he does it.


    Im still a former Inquisition Office. Ill use whatever hand I can.


    Solomon guides Falma and walks on the long underground waterways. It was dark without a single light however Falmas Medicine God Staff naturally radiates light. And finally, they reached the exit.


    This is the 6th underground waterway. It will be the southeast exit of the Great Church of the Holy City.


    When they opened the door that separates the underground and ground, they saw the sky brightening.


    Well. Lets fly


    Falma connected the Medicine God Staff and the loop-shaped chain through the lock, and suspended Solomon from the staff.


    Isnt it heavy?


    Solomon is worried


    As long as the buoyancy power of the Medicine God Staff is maintained using Falmas divine power, then theres a possibility that the staff can carry dozens of people.


    Hiiiieek!Solomonshrieks


    As the sun rises, Falma rises rapidly into the sky and elerates.


    The sacred city is gradually bing smaller and farther away. Solomon who was afraid of heights, had been staring over the top and earnestly tried his best not to look down.


    After bearing the cold winter sky for a few hours without taking a break, Falma and Solomon finally reached the Imperial Capital of San Flueve Empire.


    Falma then returned to his room through the window of the de Medicis House. He then fell down and asleep.


    The Empress had already made a contact with Medicine God


    Pius, the High Priest of the Holy City squeezed the letter he received from a carrier pigeon sent by Comb (Head Priest of San Flueve Parish Church). ording to Combs report, the incarnation of the Medicine God will return the Medicine God Staff if he meets Solomon. He also said that Falma would travel to Holy City, only if the High Priest would greet and discuss the formal procedures with the Empress as he is one of the Royal Court Apothecary.


    In that case, it is unlikely possible to bring the Medicine God to the Holy City and seal him in the Great Church.


    It wouldnt be worthwhile if the Holy City confronts the Empress of San Flueve and the whole empire for Medicine God


    The Head Priest of the San Flueve Church who sent the letter to Pius sighed. The Empress, Elizabeth II is beloved by all in the Empire. He could not intimidate the Empress directly, as there were neither hostile forces threatening her power in the country nor a problem in heir.

 Volume 4 - Ch 5.4

    Pius, who has the final mystery of the Divine Vein Seal is not afraid of one-on-onebat with the Empress.


    However, turning the allies of Empire and the Empire itself into hostile enemies will be terrible.


    If the Empress favors the Medicine God, it will be difficult to lure the Medicine God to Great Church.


    It seems that the divine power of the current Medicine God is tremendously powerful because the whole cathedral emitted an illuminance just by stepping on it. And the advent period this time will be very long


    Ahaaa The past records of the incarnations of Medicine God didnt even have so much divine power. Even the Guardian Deities of the past, only a few can emit light. The disruption of the incarnating order of the Medicine God caused such effect huh


    A guardian deity that reced the descend of another guardian deity. The order in which the guardian deity descend on the ground is generally determined. If this guardian deity descends, it can be guessed by calcting the cycle that another guardian deity will descend next. However,st time, the Medicine God did not descend and was skipped and the next guardian deity descends. Pius, together with his precedent, spected:


    Is it descending with the divine power of two guardian deity or, it descended by collecting all the divine power that had umted in the heaven while the it did not descend for a long time?


    Its a shame to leave it unchecked  its rare for the guardian deity toe down. I dont know when it will descend next.


    Why is there such tremendous divine power in Medicine God who can only create medicine and heal people?


    If the divine power of the current Medicine God is extractedpletely Oh Its regrettable that the divine power that resides in Medicine God is wasted


    There was a certain circumstance that the Great Church gathered the divine power of the sessive generations of Guardian Deities incarnation.


    However, Pius recalled that Medicine God promised to return the Medicine God Staff to the Great Church.


    Pius was wondering why the Medicine God stays with Solomon, but if the priest named Solomon can be used as a bargaining card, there is no use for it. Pius thought so.


    Dont take your eyes off in monitoring Solomon. Let himmit suicide.


    It was time to end it. However


    Great priest! Solomon escaped!


    The knight priest reported to the Chief Commander of the Great Temple. The Chief Commander as well as Pius was surprised.


    What!? How can he escape if his divine vein is sealed!


    The Commander Chief barks at the knight priest who reported to him.


    The iron bars on the windows has been removed as well as some portion of the cell iron bar. And the lock is gone  Sorry!


    FIND HIM! He couldnt have escape to the gate of the Holy City! He couldnt have gone too far


    That day, the Holy City was in turmoil and all the priests are dispatched to search Solomon.


    However, they couldnt find Solomon. There were reports that two intruders had entered the Underground Cathedral, the sentry priests involved were reprimanded because the Great Treasure was safe and not stolen.


    I dont think Solomonmitted suicide


    Will the Medicine God enraged if he finds out that Solomon is missing?


    Pius headaches increased. In this case, Medicine God cannot be called to the Holy City.


    Two days after Falma and Solomon returned to the Imperial Capital.


    The Head Priest of the cathedral at Imperial Capital, Comb, came to de Medicis House with a personal letter from the Holy City.


    As a result of the judgement by the Great Church, it is decided that Falma will possess the Medicine God Staff for a while


    Falma was surprised at the priest who reported with a disgusted face.


    Well, why? I reported to her Majesty and I was nning to make an itinerary.


    Falmapletely knew why.


    Solomon is a little bit sick and he cant see you soon.


    Are you serious? I heard his divine vein was sealed and his body was battered


    Falmas expression then turned sour


    No. Its not like that Ill contact you again from the Great Church. Excuse me!


    After seeing the priest hurriedly running back


    Salomon, dressed in in clothes, appeared slowly.


    Because


    I dont think Ill ever recover from that


    The pair looked at each other and smirked.
