Parallel World Pharmacy
Lesson 8: 4 The Imperial Capital
After everyone had finished eating at the restaurant, Farma called out, “Well, let's move,” and Mélene pulled out her wallet.It looks like it was bought in the Empire.
When Farma rolled her eyes, Mélène was always good at it.
"When I enter the store, I wonder if there is a fee?"How much? During the voyage, I asked the crew about the cultural customs of the Empire.I bought my wallet at the Marseilles fishing port. "
Huh...
There is no preliminaries.But I won't accept Pharma.
"Don't worry, we'll entertain you at the same time as the welcome party today."Take it easy. "
"I owe it to you." Next time, when you arrive, we'll do our best to entertain you. "
I'm looking forward to it.
"I ate a lot, so I want to feel hungry."
Mélene stepped out of the restaurant and began to stretch on the spot.
The movement begins with the Mélène accompanying them.It seemed that the other five could not be taunted.
"Stop exercising after meals here.Also, exercise is not good right after meals, and it can cause stomach pain. "
Too free, Pharma and Clara are in trouble.
"It makes me sleepy when I'm full.I want to keep my body moving so I don't have to. "
It seems that there is no concept of diet, but I don't want to be full.
Other than Melenes, the Mylaka followers do not seem to have brought a translation spirit and cannot speak the Imperial language.So Farma tells Mélene, and Mélene acts as the point of contact and interpreters for them.
Well then, why don't you take a walk under Saint Elizabeth?
"That's good. Elizabeth is that great-looking woman."
A passerby looks back with a dazed look on his face.
"Well, he's actually the greatest man on the continent."
Clara began to panic about how disrespectful she would be when she heard that.It would be tough if someone asked me.
Farma thought in her heart that which seemed more impressive, but she had reason not to speak.
The curiosity of the people who came and went was aroused in Mélène's party, but when she saw Farma, she pretended not to have felt at ease.At this point, Farma had considerable reputation as a shopkeeper and court pharmacist at a pharmacy in another world.I was lucky this time.
The party arrived at the palace while watching the Imperial Capital on foot and living the lives of the people of the Imperial Capital.
“This is the palace of the Holy Emperor Elizabeth, a royal palace with a magnificent baroque architecture and interior, with vast gardens and palaces.Fifty thousand artisans have spent decades building and landscaping on the orders of their ancestors.The style of the interior..... "
Farma has also taken the form of a tourist guide.Sometimes the palace is where they work, and when there are events such as a reception, guests from Japan and abroad as the lead court pharmacist ask for a detailed explanation of the palace.
“What a building. Is this made by humans?Can I see it from the sky? "
Farma stopped in a hurry as Mélene tried to summon the monstrous bird that embodied the painting.
You can't fly, because the people in the Imperial City will flip over.
"You can fly too, can't you?"What is unusual? "
That's right! But I still feel something different.Farma hides in the clouds so that they are invisible to the citizens of the Imperial City.
"I don't fly so people can see me!"Please observe manners when flying.It's normal! "
Farma is driven away by Mélene's casual pace.
The passers-by's ears bother them too, so the Pharma passes through the crowd using their face passes to find a meeting place with the Emperor.Clara is specifically allowed to enter the palace, so I will accompany her.
"Normally, people don't fly, but I'm losing confidence..."
Clara's penetration wasn't very sharp either.
Of all the men in this room, only Clara can fly.
The Holy Emperor invited the Mélène to a hideaway villa on the grounds of the palace, which she had recently built.
It also functions as a guest house.
The other five went on a guided tour of the court, so they had to do something different, so Mélène came alone.
(Wow, this is it. The guesthouse that the sage had built, it's the first time.)
Like the Petit Triennon Marie Antoinette loved, Pharma remembers the earthly structures.
In contrast to the elegant and elaborate interior of the Rococo style, there is an artificial lake in front of the palace, and you can also enjoy the countryside-style courtyard in harmony with nature.
There is one girl with a frivolous attitude who doesn't resemble the atmosphere of such a scenic place reminiscent of the prestige of the Empire.
"You've worked hard, Mélène."
When the Holy Emperor showed a friendly smile, Mélène looked indescribably reluctant.
"I came all the way to show you my face, Elizabeth."You live in a big house! "
In response to Mélène's provocation, she was alarmed and panicked that the Emperor's sidekick was going to be in battle.
"Good, just a foolish word from a friend."Don't do that outside. "
The Holy Emperor thought the mediation was troublesome, so he lowered his entourage.
"I don't remember you saying you were a friend."
"Well, don't say hard things."This is my house, but it is not just a house; it is the center of the executive, the center of the legislature, the center of the judiciary.It's a small country. "
The Holy Emperor puts his hands on his bee-like hips, looking out over the courtyard.
Mélene seemed dumbfounded by the manner in which she kept saying what to do.
"One question is, are you going to monopolize this kind of wealth and share it with people in the same country?We will equally distribute the wealth that any member of our clan has earned.Distribution is important, and it leaves no scourge in the future. "
Elizabeth takes Mélene's words somewhat happily.
Put her on the table and recommend a drink to soothe her throat.
"What's standing there, a drink?"
Here we go.
Freshly squeezed fruit juice was mixed.
The Holy Emperor explains to her as he suggests another drink.
"Do you know what massive public works are?The construction of the palace will provide ample work and rewards for the various craftsmen seeking work in the Imperial City.Craftsmen feed their families, and their children inherit technology to nourish other trades.This is also a redistribution of sustainable wealth. ”
"No, I don't know. In my tribe, there is no fixed occupation."
Mélène shakes her head as if she were a child.The Holy Emperor walks up to her and says, "Don't be an old woman."
"If you teach me that you may build a great empire in the future, when the village expands, it becomes a village or town, and when it grows bigger, it becomes a country."By that time, people will be sharing roles.As forces emerge in various places, governance cannot be a one-stop shackle. "
Hmmm.
Unhappy, Mélène seems to be listening for the time being.
“If you're going to be popular, it's easiest to let citizens have the luxury.Wealth can be scattered and consumed.But such an empire ends in one generation.In order to make the country prosper for a hundred years, a thousand years, we have to create a ring of great people.It also helps to avoid unfortunate armed clashes by demonstrating the state's wealth and the beauty of the palace.More than once, the Saint-Fleuve Empire has not been invaded by a nation.No rebellion, no armed bees. "
The Holy Emperor summarizes her political views in the imperialist system.
I guess you're just holding it down with force?
"Well, that's true, but the emperor is neither hereditary nor lifelong."Everyone is watching what is left of them in the throne, and sharpening the blade of the name of public opinion.When the power of the Emperor waned, the young lion who took public opinion as his ally was called upon to fight for the throne.He is not guilty of being reversed during an alternative duel.If you want a restful life after your departure, no one will bother to become a tyrant.Therefore, the best course of action is to put the happiness of the people first. "
"... it's unexpectedly hard, the Emperor of this country."There's no one who wants to be. "
Mélène doesn't know where to put her swung fist.
I think Farma knows what she's thinking.
I had never asked her about her political philosophy, and I didn't think it was Pharma's job.
"Nevertheless, the curse named Holy Seal is engraved on the emperor's artifact to prevent him from escaping."That's why it looks like you're carrying something very heavy on your back at your age? "
"Yes, but I pressed it all against Pharma."
Farma, who was suddenly given a name, suddenly became dizzy.
"The curse on Lake Piticaca has been lifted, and I'm in a sunny mood."I can sleep well now.Now that I've lost Lutareka, my destiny has gone somewhere.From now on, it's even more funny, and I'm going to live with inertia. "
There is no longer any sign of murderous resentment at the time of Mélène's encounter.
It is true that all the problems that afflicted her have been solved and her fangs have been pulled out.
Farma was in a mixed mood when they interacted.
However, if someone could unload the load that he carried, Pharma would also feel somewhat "this would have been good".
Did you notice the noisy exchange, Louis shows his face from the next room.
It's a good time, and Farma welcomes Noah.
"Haha, did someone come?" Who is this person? "
Louis was swinging his billiard cue.
"I'm a guest."
Mother? What a child you were!
Mélene was surprised to see Elizabeth and Louis alternating their fingers.
That's right?
Then Mélène dropped out as if she was out of her mind.
Is it something that can grow with children?
“What can I do?
Mélène seemed to have been hit by a cultural shock.
If the chief has children, they will be immediately targeted or killed by other tribes.
That's why she explains that the president is always single during his time in office.
"It's not hereditary, so there's no point in targeting Louis."
That's what the Holy Emperor said. When Pharma remembers the history of Japan and the history of the world, there is a story of hereditary assassination, but it is hereditary.
(The royal child is assassinated and poisoned one after another, but the president's child is only targeted for ransom.)
Farma thinks so too.
"Is that so?" It's a surprisingly well thought out mechanism. "
Mélène praises with a bitter face.
"I don't think it's best, but I don't think it's bad when you think about the people of the country."In any case, the Emperor is a force and a weapon for his subjects.If you're not someone who can carry and stand up with peace of mind, you'll want to turn back. ”
The Holy Emperor seized his place somewhere.
“I see. The king of the great powers is frightened by a large number of traitors.”
I'm going to keep my head off the bed, though.
The Holy Emperor laughs like he contains everything.
"It's the color of my hair that I've never seen before. Do you want to play billiards?"
Louis, who had been standing before, invited Mélene to the billiard without reading the air.
Noah, who appeared from behind, tried to pull Louie to say, "Seriously, read the air now," but Mélene wondered if the words that the spirit could not translate were unusual, and burned her neck.
"What is that billiard thing?" I can't translate it. "
It's a serious battle between using a cane and a ball to hit the ball exactly as you aim it.
Louis continued to explain as he was taken with his feathers strangled.
Louis, who had a fine face in this air, had quite the courage.
"Yes, let's go this way, Your Highness!"I'll take care of it. "
Mélene followed as Noah tried to squeeze Louie's back and make her kick.
"Interesting, take it and stand!"
Huh?
Farma and Noah looked at each other unexpectedly.
Elizabeth gently hands Mélene the billiard cue.
"It's my favorite cue."
After a long time, Farma was awkward to watch Mélene as she struggled against the prince and suffered a ruinous defeat.
I'm sorry, but I don't think I'll be able to win for a while.
Having lost three times in a row, Pharma pushes Mélene to surrender.
“The others are back, and we have plans for the next time.”
The companions who returned from the court-guided tour also looked interesting.
“What are you talking about! I'll do it until I can win!"
Your Highness has been practicing billiards for three hours a day, so I think it's tough.
Having suffered more defeat, Louis called it "too weak and boring" and stopped it.
I'll slap you the next time you come!
Mélene barked, but Louie didn't seem to get it.
"Um, do you want to bring home a set of pool tables?"
Farma was distracted to ask if I could give you one of my own.
Your Highness is strong in billiards, so I can't help it.
Louis hates Divine Magic training, so it seems unlikely that he will raise his skill in Divine Magic to become an Emperor.The Holy Emperor is also of the view that "he is useless to train because he does not have enough divine power or head," and he does not say immediately about his son's negligence.
Instead of talking about divine magic, Farma expects to become a professional hustler if you look at the enthusiastic practice with a billiard coach these days.
"Has Farma ever beaten her?"
"Some years ago, I couldn't win anyway."After all, training on a daily basis is what I mean. "
Since it's an entertainment billiard, I shouldn't take it seriously, but recently I couldn't win even if I took it seriously.
"I'm still a kid."
I think it's amazing to be on that list, though.
Mélène walks around the palace on a lion that the Emperor lent her for a tour of the garden.
When Farma gives her thoughts, Melenie tickles the lion's throat.
I tried it somehow, but I wonder what kind of animal it is.
It was a lion.
Farma, Clara, and the Mairacas turn down the lion and follow on foot.
It seems that Merene gives instructions to the lion through the spirit, and the lion hears them more obediently than Elizabeth.
(I'm familiar with the lion under the holy shrine, like the owner)
Without any hesitation, Pharma is impressed by Melenay's ease in manipulating the lion.Mélène's eyes were shining at the sight in front of her.
"I saw something good, especially this."
Mélène stopped the lion's foot in front of the great fountain.
Fountain?
The large fountain in the palace is of seeming value.
Many fountains rose around the statue imitating the emperor.
If only I could do this.
Funny guy, Farma bought a postcard in advance with the Palace's famous attractions and Elizabeth in the photo, so she gives it to Mélene and her entourage.
It's useful for souvenirs after returning home, and it's great for decor.
"Hey, I'm glad to hear that."
Mélene and her entourage were frankly delighted.
"By the way, why is the water flowing from low to high?"Are you using divine magic? "
“This is just a physical phenomenon.It looks like water is blowing up by applying water pressure at the height difference from the cistern to the fountain, using the water flowing from high to low. "
"Heh... if I wanted to do this, I'd have to use the power of the Spirit."
Pharma advises Mélene on the beauty of the court garden.
"Well, be careful not to summon the spirit of this land."Because there are only evil spirits around here.Seriously, there's something really bad going on here. "
Nearby, a landscaper said he committed suicide at a garden fountain late in the delivery time that would have appeared in front of him.He hasn't appeared before Pharma, but he has a grotesque look when he hears from the court people.
Because there is no kinship or connection in this land, I have not called the ancestral spirit of this land in the first place.And the ancestral spirits shall join their hands day by day, and shall inherit their merit and their grace, and shall not give thanks unto their fathers. That's what it is. "
(Don't say things like Japanese, this guy...)
Farma feels nostalgic somewhere.
"However, by your standards, it's a cursed continent with only evil spirits."You must have crushed the ancestral spirits. "
Farma is not poking the dark parts of the Empire.
Certainly, the people of this continent believed in the patron saint, but they feared that the dead would appear as spirits.
If you worship the spirit with care and generosity, or if you did not have to live in fear of evil spirits, you can think of another possibility that can be traced to this continent.
(No, I don't think I can do anything about it.The spirit of this continent feels different in nature.But is it also the responsibility of the patron saint?)
Or perhaps the very existence of Pharma is provoking the Spirit.Certainly, if you use divine power to retreat the spirit from that place, you will feel that there may be rebellion.
Maybe you're good at appeasing spirits?
"What? Can you do it? You look like you asked for something, don't you?"
Farma seemed to have unexpectedly found a way out.
I'll put together the request plan properly.
"Well, that's a lot of each other."
Mélene was surprised to see that there was such a thing, but Mélene took it upon herself to say that it was for breakfast.
(Perhaps you can rely very much on Mélene as a spiritual mishap?)
Clara was surprised by the unexpected development and sneaked her ears at Farma, saying, "That's great."
◆
That night, as planned, a welcome party was held at the house of de Medicis.
Because it is such an opportunity, the staff of the pharmacy in another world, Zoe, Josephine, Emelich and others of the Imperial Pharmacy School are also invited.
Emerich clearly saw Melene and the others as different races from the Empire, and was curious to take DNA.
I can't stand it anymore.
"Let's settle down once and for all."
His wrist, where the conversation was about to put out the test tube, was held back by Farma at a good time.
"Stop trying to analyze the roots of your guests at the welcome party."
"No, but don't you care if they're our common ancestors?"Moreover, what kind of genetic control does magic work? "
I'm curious, though.
"Maybe something like a curse on the Divine Vein is falling asleep in our bodies."If I miss today, when will I see you?I can't help thinking that.I just want you to rub it in my mouth for a bit.Can I agree to explain? "
Emerich's curiosity grew as she turned to Farma with a crisp face.
The cotton swab for oral epithelial cell swabs was immediately confiscated because it was about to be removed.
"Hurry, hurry! I won't do it now, and I'll give them all the information I got."And don't test minors. "
The informed consent form that Pharma provided to Emerich is strict and must be obtained with the full understanding and consent of the subject.
"Genetic testing guidelines."
"You can't start with a stick, can you?"Are you the type who suddenly confesses to someone you've never met before? "
“Huh? Yes, I've never failed.”
Farma almost nagged before.
"That's right."
Farma glanced at Lotte, Ellen, Josephine, and the others, and the Comu Giants were incredibly aggressive.
Mélene and the others were the first to like wine after being recommended to them by Ellen, which made them feel good.
"Hey, hey! Have you ever drunk alcohol in Mélene?"
When Farma wonders if she needs to deal with acute alcoholism,
"I was making fruit wine and drinking it."I could have done something if I could. "
"It's true that you can do that!" Isn't this your first time?Well then. It's not good, but.... "
Minors should not drink.This is Pharma's theory, and the minors themselves defend it.
"This wine has no impurities and has an interesting taste."
Mélene is my favorite.
"When I get home."
"I will."
With the banquet in hand, the court orchestra of today's eyeballs began to play.
The private dispatch of the more skilled court orchestra to the Medicis family is the care of the Holy Emperor.
Other people besides Mélène who could not talk to the Imperial Citizens because they could not understand the spirit of the Imperial language in their brains, but music seemed to have no borders, and some people started to dance with pharmacy staff in body language.
Those who are good at percussion borrow the orchestra's timpani and snare, and Mélène hammers her limbs with a cappella, and the percussion of the percussion instruments of the Mylaka tribe and others begins.
Inspired by them, the court orchestra also improvises with losers.
A few minutes later, the folk music session was established, just like the court orchestra that responded to the nobility's request with adribs.
"Wasn't that a good new feeling?"A new era is upon us! "
"Really! Music I've never heard before!"
Ellen and Lotte were moved by the flushing of their cheeks.
Farma's reaction is that it doesn't sound new like fusion music familiar to Billboard, but it seems to have been a revolutionary session for the exciting concertmaster.
"I can't do this, I'm going to give you a score!"
The concertmaster ran away with a pen and paper.
I think intercultural exchange is very good.
Afterwards, enjoy table games, bowling, and more.
As a thank you for their hospitality, the Mélènees interfered with the paintings of the de Medicis through their spirits, moving and framing the paintings.
(This sounds like a tiger coming out of the screen, and it's like a 4DX movie theater.)
Pharma also applauds the 4DX animation that I have seen for a long time.
Isn't there a tremendous demand for moving this painting?
Comment on how Ellen saw something horrible.
"But, it's coming again!"
Lotte, a court painter, was overwhelmed with the desire to collaborate and became hyperventilated.
Farma offers Lotte a paper bag.
"You're breathing too much, Lotte."
I can't help but smoke this.
A voice was heard from inside the paper bag.
"For example, if a portrait of a deceased person or a lover moves as if it were alive... there will be a lot of people who want it."
And, Farma can imagine a practical application.
"Maybe a slightly naughty picture of a lover... moves?"
Rebecca's fantasy of some kind of switched-on unstoppable.
Mélene, who noticed that the Imperial Nation was booming, said she was furious.
Without a magician with magical powers, the painting won't work.
That's right.
Farma predicts that with the idea so far, we will soon be able to build a cinema.
On the balcony of the Medicis' house, Farma watches over Melene, who came out of her sober sleep.
I knew I should've stopped.
“It feels good, but I don't know what to do.”
As Mélène leaned against Farma, she turned her arms back and forth.
(This is what happens when someone sees it.)
I can't get along with a drunkard.
I'm sorry for the scandal, but Farma puts her right hand on Mélene.
When Mélene closed her eyes, her lips caught on to Pharma, and it became a dangerous atmosphere.
"Who are you mistaken for? I'll pull it out."
Pharma wakes Mélene up intoxicated by removing ethanol with a substance purge.
"Oh, what are you doing!"You can't be trying to keep me in your hands! "
"Huh! I just did it!"
Unreasonably, Mélene returned to her senses and scolded her.
