Kusuriya no Hitorigoto

and the footsteps echo.

Horseflash (Basen), when he heard the noise from inside the room, raised his hips from the chair and greeted the visitors as they arrived.

It was the official with the paperwork who came through the stone corridor. Horseflash receives the load when he bows his head "hard work". The official carefully bowed his head but saw the office he was supposed to take with him.

Set close to the deepest part of the court, the Lord there is famous for rarely showing his face. Even if you are on the table, you cannot worship that face.

Always mask when on the table and never see its face. At an early age, burns made my skin stick, and I was stuck in the ugliness of my appearance. Back in the day, it was to the point of draping my forehead and hiding it, but for the past few years, I had completely stopped showing my face.

It may be harder not to spread strange rumors in the palace about such a thing.

Do you think the Empress adores cats and emperors?

That was the current East Palace.

Its ugly appearance is said to be due to the resentment of the women who withered in the garden of flowers of the earlier emperor, etc. The reign of the Emperor ahead was long. In the meantime, the number of flowers scattered in the rear palace is said to be thousands.

Is the ugly look a curse?

For Horseflashes, it is a story of laughter.

Horseflash leaves the paperwork and enters the office. There is a person sitting at the desk while the fluffy and soft incense drifts.

There are people who put their long hair together behind them and slide their brushes on paper.

For a moment, I made the mistake of thinking that Horseflash was the Lord, but if you look closely, it's someone else.

It was not facial, the atmosphere was very similar.

Neutral face, Rin and neat contour. The motion without waste is sophisticated and the carriage of its brush is mainly very similar.

But there's nothing more there than someone else.

Even gender is different.

"Are you finally at work?

I can hear Rin. High for a man, low for a woman. So is the back length. It's expensive for a woman, not so much for a man.

Neither a man nor a woman, he was a senior queen in the rear palace until last year. Ado (Arduo) should have leaned on the emperor's detachment after leaving the rear palace.

But, but.

Taku looks at the paperwork he receives and loosens his lips. Let's not laugh. I look like that.

She does the Shadow Warrior of the Lord of Horseflashes here after she leaves the rear palace. Even though I'm doing it, I'm just cleaning up the job I got instead.

"There's nothing I can do, this is..."

Taku twirls his brush with his fingertips.

I know what you're going to say. All you have to do is show them their form. Nominally, as long as we pass the individual, the budget is going down.

Taku divides the documents into two parts. Yes or no, in two.

I'm glad we split it up, but in the end we'll pass both. That's where incompetent ornaments come in. If you keep doing that for a few years, this is how you get more wacky and non-paperwork.

You can follow him from somewhere else later.

Originally, it was Horseflash's job to do the job.

That's all sorting in this office with very few visitors. It's not funny or anything, but that's the role, so I can't help it.

Lately, Horseflash has gone outside and begun to ask for a different job because Alto is taking his place.

Again, many things are different from normal. There was a great deal of openness to the work of the martial arts officer that I wanted to do.

Still have no choice but to endure.

Few know who the East Palace is.

That's what makes it rewarding.

I was proud to say that I was so trustworthy.

Yet.

What's your father thinking?

Father, I remember a man who now calls himself 'High Order'.

It's not just high order, there's something to say about the Lord.

Why are you trying to pull that girl in?

I couldn't stop wondering there and accidentally asked my father what a subtle face he looked like. What do you mean, now I tried to pack it up on my daughter herself and she hit me.

Later, in the explanation I received from my father, I heard that it would be more convenient to keep my daughter in hand. I've heard a lot about pharmacy for a long time, but I didn't think I needed to bother putting it on hand.

But.

That girl says she's from 'Ro' 's house.

When I heard that, Horseflash inadvertently shrugged himself.

In this country, besides surname and first name, a single letter representing the house may be given. Mainly, for generations, the patriarch who has served the emperor has it, and the direct male line is often given that letter in his name.

In the case of horse flashes, 'horse'. A name given several generations before the Emperor, it is used by Horseflash and his brother, as well as by the original name of Gaoshun.

The 'Ro' house in question is an ancient one. Mainly, a house that produces martial arts officers, but otherwise shows a lot of talent. There have been many geniuses in the history of this country.

Its direction is diverse and varies greatly depending on the interests of the person.

By our interest, it can be seen that the geniuses of the 'Ro' house are many strangers.

The current lord is Luohan, a freak who is bewitched with the Master Hall. The behavior was unpredictable and someone who was always walking around with nothing interesting in the courtroom, but the talent was origami. I am more eye-catching than anyone when it comes to identifying talent. All the people he hires are at a glance in the field.

I don't have the idea of forming a faction into this guy the weirdo.

Funny, not funny, like it or not, that's all.

I don't want to get near this man, but I'd rather not just turn him to the enemy. That was the implicit understanding within the court.

And speaking of the man's body, he just had one nephew he adopted, and he wasn't supposed to have a wife belt. That's what I was hearing.

But he actually has a daughter, and he says he's drowning.

When I heard that was that girl, Horseflash couldn't block her open mouth.

convinced at the same time.

The "Ro" clan produces many geniuses. On the other hand, they have a lot of things missing as human beings.

Kaku Luohan is suddenly kicking his own father and brother, who were the lords at the time, out of the house one day, wondering what he thought. The two expelled were relatively decent, or incompetent, in the 'Ro' clan. My nephew is better off with his nephew, Luohan, and is adopted.

Instead of giving superior talent, heaven may grant deadly shortcomings.

If such a man were to drown his daughter, he would want to tilt his neck, and on the other hand, he would be convinced. Love is something that is sometimes biased.

There are currently a number of factions in the court. The most wide-ranging of these is the clan of Congratulations Zichang from the Empress's time.

Honestly, it would be the presence of the octopus above the eyes for the emperor. Because the pus of my predecessor's time remains intact.

What to do with fat people in earlier times, that's on my mind.

What would happen if we drew that neutral man into the faction within the court?

It's not that big in the sense of power. But that impression is very different.

In a way, it makes sense. But I feel like I have a lot more trouble than that.

Horseflashes remind me of the Lord after the eagle hunt.

The Lord, who was exposed to strong sunlight and turned it upside down, went in the middle of a feast. Later, when I thought I was feeling better and back, I looked worse than I did when I left. He looked like that, as if the ghost had sucked all his vigor out of him.

Behind the fluttering walk was a daughter who somehow seemed to take care of the mushrooms. He looks subtle, but occasionally, loose looking at the mushrooms in his hand.

It wasn't a horse flash that could hear what the hell was going on.

I can only say that, as long as I follow the Lord's gaze, the cause of tiredness lies with my daughter, and the question arises whether it is okay to keep her beside the Lord.

I can't leave it like this.

That's what Horseflash thought, but he cleaned up the paperwork Aldo sorted out.
