Kusuriya no Hitorigoto

They brought us to a residential neighborhood in the middle of the capital. The capital is basic, safe enough to go north, and middle-class houses line up around it.

In it, there was an old house. Originally it's a big house there, but the roof had chipped and dull tiles, the dirt walls smashed by the way and the bamboo frame was visible.

At the front door stands a man who has seen it several times. A man watching Zhao Too, he pretends he doesn't know anything about face-to-face cats and cats.

Cats and cats enter rough houses.

(Whoa!?

It was a rough all-you-can-have house outside, but it was surprisingly clean inside. But that's not where I'm surprised.

The walls are painted white. On top of it, solidified by lacquer, a painting was painted.

Peach gardens stretch out on one side of the wall. It is not the three samurai who grip those peaches, but the beautiful daughter. Exactly peachy contours, black hair like shooting balls, white teeth peeking their lips like cherry peaches.

That's exactly where the fairy of Peach Township was painted.

I heard you were good at beauty painting, but I didn't think you painted anything brilliant so far.

Cats and cats stare at the wall. The painted surface has a unique shine. A little different from a well-known painting of a cat and cat.

When I tried to observe closely, my footsteps sounded bulky.

"Hey, scumbag! What are you doing! Look at that."

Zhao Too, with a bright blue face, came.

(How about that?)

If you're curious, it's a bad habit for cats and cats to get interested in you. The cat and cat are pulled into the back of the house by Zhao Too. There, it was rolling around like a living room but pigmented colorful powder, egg shells for some reason, and lacquered white powder to work it out.

In the center of the room, a bench is placed, where one man lies. There was another man next to him, and he looked worried. The man lying down is in the form of a barren beard, his complexion looks white through a bright blue. Only the fingertips were dirty with paint or something. The man standing by him was dressed snugly, but his hands were as dull and dirty as the man lying.

"Look at the old master."

Young as an old master, this would be the up-and-coming painter of the example. There was a bucket next to the bench, and there was puke in it.

Cats and cats look at men. My hands and feet are cramped. Open your eyes and look at your pupils or take a pulse.

As far as I can tell, is it like food poisoning?

"What are the symptoms?

"Something's been throwing up and diarrhea"

"Then I let him sleep because he seemed to suffer the whole time and it seemed cold."

said the man who stood to add to Zhao Too.

"What about this guy?

"He's an old teacher's work buddy! Faster than that!

Even if they say sooner, there are only a few things cats and cats can do. If you don't know what the poison is, you don't know what to prescribe.

However, if a man has repeated diarrhoea and vomiting, there is certainly something missing.

"Zhao Tuo. Bring water, salt and sugar. If not in this house, get it from somewhere else."

Cats and cats throw money bags from their nostalgia to Zhao Tuo and give them to them. Zhao Too ran out of the house "ok".

"I'll borrow your kitchen."

Cats and cats go into the back.

Look into the water and see if the water is getting worse. If it's true, I'd love to boil it, but there won't be time for that.

"Is this raw water?

"I bought it yesterday at the water store, so it should be okay."

The water I bought would be fine. I think it's unlikely that I drank raw water and went belly down. Of course, if it was decent water, but it didn't smell or taste weird as long as the cat and cat creaked and licked it.

The exterior of the house was mellow, but wealthy enough to buy water.

Cats and cats see a man named his peer.

"Can you explain why this happened?

"Oh."

While wandering, the man brought a chair to the cat and cat.

And talk out of pomposity.

"It's this guy's bad habit, he eats damaged things fine. Probably because of that."

It still seemed to be food poisoning, as I imagined.

"There was a pie (snack), so I ate that. It seems to be hurting, so we didn't eat it, but he said he could eat it if he baked it."

Of course it was damaged.

The old food doesn't go back to the way it was cooked. Some poisons that were damaged by food remain intact.

"Damn, what are you going to do? You'll never make it again."

The man touched a large plate placed on the wall.

The board was painted white, and there was a picture of a woman snugly painted. Still, I guess I'll be painting more and more colors from now on. As the colors become clearer, the woman's painting must look as if she were alive.

"I'll finish it in ten days or so."

(Ten days later?

Is there any deadline?

"I'm home!

Zhao Too is back.

Cats and cats receive the salt and sugar brought to them by Zhao Tuo.

In the prepared water, add salt and sugar. Stir it up and remove the cotton from your baggage and wet it.

Make a man suck his mouth to get wet. Let him inhale again and again to rehydrate.

My body is just worried if I should warm it up or let it release heat. In the meantime, I can't breathe sweat in dirty looks like I'm dressed. The sweat-wicking cotton kimono was prepared and dressed.

It's also hard to put him to bed in a bench, so he prepared a decent bed or a pill for abdominal pain.

In the meantime, I vomited about two more times, but nothing in particular vomited. Only the sour smell of stomach fluids filled the room.

Thanks to repeated hydration while wiping the sweat, the cramps subsided by night.

In those days, cats and cats, Zhao Too and men in the same industry were in a cave. This house had nothing but painting material and I had to use my neighbor's hand just to try to keep one sleeping bed decent.

Tired cats and cats and Zhao Too kept their bodies in a chair they brought from another room. The bench the landlord here slept in is empty, but honestly, it is in a situation where it cannot be used unless it is washed clean.

"Scabble. Is that gonna help?

"I guess."

I can't say for sure. Probably will regain consciousness soon. I just need to get them to eat something with good digestion without moving for a while.

Even if you want to make heavy water (otoyu), you have to procure it because there is not even decent rice. I don't even have a proper pot.

"Rice and earthen pot, to be taken from us"

A man who read the air left the house. It's hard to be tired. Am I that close to the landlord here?

"Normally, what are you eating, the Lord of this house?"

Zhao Too replies when there is one cat and cat.

"The old teacher always buys and eats in the street, or it looks like he's getting it from your neighborhood. That was a pie today."

"Hmm, so is that what you ate this time?

When the cat and cat heard, Zhao Too's face was beautifully distorted.

"What's up?

"No, I remember eating today. Me and that old man ate the pie with the old master. I spit it out as soon as it was bad. But I thought it was weird from the start."

Speaking of what's weird, the old master and I were like, "Did this happen to us?," she said when she saw the pie on the table. Sure, I'm anxious first in that regard, but he said he recommended it to Zhao Too with the man who was coming to the house.

"In the meantime, I'm glad you're sifting around with something, but there's a lot of subtleties to eat."

Zhao Tuo is also frightened. Artists seem to be true when they hear there are a lot of freaks.

The cat and cat put their elbows on the hiccups and stick their cheeks on.

"How dare you say that?"

"'Cause Grandpa said he'd eat it, too, and it looked delicious"

Zhao Too is delicious, so if he can eat, he speaks.

"But it seemed like the filling was getting worse, and it was really bitter."

"... was it painful?

"Yeah, it was bad. Yeah, I spit it out. Grandpa was throwing up."

(bitter, looked delicious?

The cat puts his arms together and tilts his neck.

"Hey, was it painful? Not sour."

"It was painful. I didn't think it was sour."

"So you didn't even smell weird in that filling or something?

"If I had, I probably wouldn't have eaten it."

Zhao Too is taking off his performance and letting his legs hang out. I open the window and ventilate the room, but it's hot and humid somewhere. It's getting dark outside, too, so light the ocean lamp (lamp) that was falling there. It's called paint, do old teachers and others like handouts? It is a rare luminaire in this area, but I can't smell the smell because I use fish oil. Recently, my hair licks oil so I have trouble.

"Were the fillings inside not threaded or sticky?

"Sticky? Speaking of which..."

Seems like something came to mind.

"I might have felt a little stunned. I don't know because it was bitter and I threw up right away. My grandfather said he was rotten and told me to throw up fast. I didn't rinse and swallow my mouth right after."

Cats and cats tilt their necks when something is wrong.

"So what happened to the rest you ate?

"I threw it away. There's a trash can outside, so I threw it there. The old master was angry that it was a waste."

The cat and cat hear it, and leave the house with a foreign lamp. And look at the crate I have installed with it.

There was still raw waste in the box that emitted unpleasant odors. There were two missing pies at the top of it. I'm still glad it was before it was collected for pig feed.

"Wow! What are you doing! It's not coming!

Zhao Too looked at the cat and cat that raises the raw waste and said: Cats and cats don't know that stuff, and when you get a dirty pie with your bare hands, you crack inside. Several types of vegetables were crushed with pork. And loosen up and find out what's in there.

"... scumbag. Don't laugh, raw waste clams. I'm so scared."

They were laughing if they noticed.

Cats and cats laugh, that's what I mean.

"Has this been baked and eaten by the old master?"

"Yeah, I'm flavor tone deaf, absolutely. What's so bitter is that it doesn't burn and disappear, but it's delicious."

More certainty.

"Hey, what was a guy like you doing here today?

"... I guess you're here to stop the old master. Old Master, he said he was going on a journey as soon as he finished his next job."

Zhao Too felt a little sorry for himself.

"Journey?"

"He said he used to study painting in the west. That's when the beauty I saw was unforgettable, and she said she was still painting one of the women."

West?

Sure, it's called a western lamp, it's called paint, a lot of things that make you smell exotic.

"Grandpa said there's no way anyone I saw twenty years ago could still be here, but he said he really wanted to see you."

The age of twenty years is huge, no beautiful woman can prevent aging. If there was no such thing, it would be either a fairy or a demon.

"Become and do what!

Rumor has it, that's why the man who brought rice and pot returned.

In the dark, a cat and cat full of raw waste would be an anomaly. Plus, half my face is burning.

Cats and cats laugh at men with raw waste in their hands.

And look at Zhao Too.

"Zhao Tuo, you go home already. It's time for the men to pick you up."

It's predictable that the right scream, which cares a lot, will pick you up when it gets dark. If the right scream is the job, you'll ask someone else.

"It's sudden."

"You're tired already. Go to sleep until someone picks you up."

"... it's time to wash your hands."

I'm not disputing it. I mean, I'm sleepy.

I go into the house yawning.

"What were you doing?

The man who was pulling sees the cat and cat. No, I'm looking at the raw waste I have in both of those hands.

"Can I talk to you for a minute after I wash my hands?

The cat and cat put the raw waste down and headed to the well.

Cat, cat and man sat in the kitchen chair.

In the next room, Zhao Too and the old master are asleep.

"What do you want to talk about?

"Are you familiar with poison mushrooms?

"... what to stick"

The man's gaze came from the cat and cat.

There were a few things I thought were weird.

When it comes to rotting, I associate it with something usually sour. Sure, there may be something bitter about rotting, but I was wondering if I could assure you that it was "rotten" with it.

Something bitter enough to spit out, but why was the old master fine?

And first, where did the pie come from?

"You know what? Some mushrooms have a bitter taste when they are raw, but if they are heated, they are gone. Besides, poisonous mushrooms often cause food poisoning this season."

Mushrooms that can often be mistaken for edible mushrooms. The surface is slightly loose. It also fits Zhao Too's testimony, and, in fact, contained mushrooms like that in the pie.

If it was bought in the street, it would already be noisy all over the city like that.

If it was something I received in the neighborhood, I wouldn't even listen to such stories as falling from abdominal pain. If that were to happen, this House would also be informed.

Then.

"Who brought the pie?

Cats and cats see paintings of walls everywhere. They are all beautiful fairy-like beauties. I guess each of them makes someone a norm (model), each of them sees a personality somewhere.

The deadline for the work that is being taken is close. The old master said he was going on a journey west when that was over. This man was trying to stop it.

When it comes to peers, the air of so-called artists is thin on this man.

"What are you trying to say? It's just food poisoning."

"Yeah, you're food poisoning. Mushrooms cause it."

The pie is not damaged. It's just that it was poisoned from the beginning.

"... you were a stronger poison than I thought"

The man had an honest personality. That was a good statement to say I admitted it.

Cats and cats are a little relieved by that. I wondered what I would do if I had an upside down personality with this. If anything happens to cats and cats, I'm sure someone watching Zhao Too will do something about it.

"All the paintings here are wonderful"

Cats and cats narrow their eyes to murals. It occurred to me that it had nothing to do with the fact that if there was a certain Reiman in this, he would blend in uncomfortably.

"So many merchants want to surround me, so I guess I'll get a lot of money if I finish the requested painting."

"If I can't finish it, I won't let you go anywhere else until then."

"If you're going to travel to the West, you need a former hand, but more importantly, you need a trusted companion."

"Oh, I've been talking to you for six months. If I missed this, I wouldn't know what month I'd be next."

What a man wanted to do was make an old teacher food addicted. That was the reason for delaying delivery.

The journey west, was to put it back on blank paper.

"Oh, it sucks already. I thought you were really gonna die."

"Don't die on me," he says, holding his head.

"Wasn't there a more moderate poison?

It's weird that it's a mild poison, but I think cats and cats do.

"His belly is tougher than iron."

The idea that you can eat anything if you bake it seems to have created a steel stomach.

So I purposefully used Zhao Too to make it look like food poisoning. If you let a third party recognize a broken pie, you'd think it was just food poisoning.

Cat, cat, cat, cat.

"Then shouldn't we have talked?

"I've told you so many stories."

The man says he paints, but in fact, he's just helping the old master paint. He was formulating paints, buying paint materials, and looking for merchants to buy paintings for.

"It's like I'm just an entourage. I can't do anything without him."

"Really?"

Sure, the old master is a talented painter, but there's something missing as a human being. Such a human being dies of it alone.

This kind of auxiliary person is important.

"I just know a lot because I talk to merchants a lot."

That there is a weird movement on the west side, which is only the omen stage yet. But if this is true, you better be quiet now.

"Then I said it would be hard if I didn't go now,"

He said he was ready to mess up without changing his mind about going west. Even though he's a decent person who can't even prepare rice.

The man slowly rises out of his chair. Then move to the next room. Cats and cats follow suit.

There was one large plate in the dark room. White cloth is worn.

"Now he said it was time to finish this painting or something"

The man takes the cloth.

"... what is this"

"I heard you were a fairy I saw in the west."

(Is this where you come from?

The cat and cat were getting cold sweats.

I wanted to tell you that this is over, but they're actually connected very much.

"You said something about a witch you saw in Sand Europe."

There depicted a beautiful woman with red eyes with white hair.
