Parallel World Pharmacy
Chapter 9 Lesson 1: Different Worlds and Diversity
May 30, 1152.
On that day, Farma took a basketful of snacks to the backyard river state owned by the de Medicis family.
Although I was physically distanced from Lotte, Ellen is a tutor of Blanche and comes to the mansion frequently, so if you meet her face at work or at home, she will feel like a family member.
In Nakaju, Ellen was doing Blanche's personal training.
In order not to disturb them who are serious, Farma passes the time on the bench by the river at the end of the paper before calling out.
"Ellen, Blanche, how about a break?" I brought you a snack. "
"Oh, Pharma, I came to see you too." Well, you can take a break after a while! "
When Farma invited the two of them to take a break, Ellen smiled with a refreshing sweat on her forehead.
Rich long silver hair swayed fluffily, which was also her trademark.
Blanche is sitting on the clover patch as the butter falls.
"Brother, in a nice place!"
Blanche, who was eleven years old, looked as if a helper boat had arrived.
She also grew taller quickly, and her hands and feet look like they were growing up.
As expected, after graduating from infant language, my head and body became taller, and my sweet personality gradually changed and became firm.
Ever since she cut her hair so tightly to make a wig, she likes short bobs, and when she grows, she cuts them and continues her style of hair donation to sick children with less hair.
Blanche's well-maintained hair delighted the children as well.
"What were you doing today?"
"Today, I was mainly strengthening my trunk and balance." Blanche is still weak in her legs, so she needs to make a solid body. "
Tomorrow, my muscle aches are definitely coming.
You're not that hard on me, are you?
Blanche is stacking up her physical training under Ellen's guidance because she has no strength. In order to cope with a world without divine magic, Ellen was trying to develop a personality other than her divine magic. Of course, I also train separately as a pharmacist.
Ellen was twenty-three years old, and she had gained muscle and squeezed her body before.
It looks like your daily workouts are working out, and you're both tightening up. Blanche looks in the mirror after taking a bath. And I heard myself say, "I'm finished today."
You both look great in that new outfit.
Farma casually talks about it.
They wore unfamiliar clothes that fitted their bodies.
“Very well, I had the high-performance clothes I designed tailored for me. That's why I made Blanche's share."
"This is easy to move. Why don't you wear it too? The tightening effect is amazing"
It is also recommended by Blanche.
It is compression wear that supports muscles by applying pressure to each part of the body.
Why is there such a thing in this world, Pharma says.
"Farma, do you want this too?" It's good for muscles. It's hard to hurt your joints, too. "
"I can't hold my muscles even though I'm trembling... but it's good when I'm moving my body."
I admire being so muscular and tight, but I can't put a physical load on this semi-solid body.
It doesn't lose weight, it doesn't get fat, it doesn't have muscle.
Instead of disabling most physical attacks, there is such an inconvenience.
Ellen is helping Blanche stretch her cooldown.
Ellen pushed Blanche's leg open from her back and screamed.
"In time, Blanche-chan may be more moody."
That's very reliable.
Master, don't push me any further.
Blanche's voice turned around, but Ellen didn't seem offended at all.
"Eh, I didn't push it at all." If I say "push", this is it. "
Such a crotch can be cracked!
"Your crotch is cracked, right?"
Somehow the cooldown came to an end, and the three spread the snacks in the basket on the bench under the gazebo.
Lotte used to be a snack guy, but it was not a particularly decided job, so since Lotte disappeared, sometimes Farma has been delivering a snack to see how things are going.
Blanche had tears in her eyes as she suppressed the inside of her crotch.
"Ellen, this soft gymnastics exercise just now, but I don't think you need to open your legs anymore. In particular, the human hip should only open 90 degrees. You don't have to aim for 180 degrees."
Farma is not holding Blanche's shoulder, but Farma is worried about Blanche's hip and warns her.
“Oh, it's not necessary to be more flexible?”
"If your body is flexible, don't you incorporate it into your training just by imagining that it seems good for your health?"
At first glance, there is a routine that has been continuously applied with the impression that it seems to be good for health.
If you say that, there's no other basis for it except that it's been said that way for a long time.
"If you exercise excessively flexibly from childhood, you will tamper with the ligaments, and if you lose muscle mass in old age, your joints may become unstable."
"That's a problem." Now, let's do it more or less. "
"Yeah, I don't think you should do it until you feel pain. Maybe Ellen should be careful, too."
Blanche drank the juice with a sloppy face, saying, "It's helpful."
Farma changes her story because it has become a little awkward.
"Speaking of which, Ellen always wears advanced clothes." Even if it's training clothes. ”
I guess so. It's the first time Farma has told me that.
"Because I've been wearing novel clothes that don't seem to be sold anywhere for a long time."
Oh, when you were a teenager, you must have been very exposed.
"Hmmm... speaking of which"
All the women in this world wear long skirts and similar clothes, but only Ellen used to wear bold slits and big chest clothes, so there was a time-honored design difference between the people around her and the people around her.
Farma is embarrassed when she remembers her teenage years in trouble with her eyes.
Her recent everyday attire is sporty in pants style, and her exposure is understated.
Recently, not many evil spirits have emerged, so we don't need to fight anymore.
Ellen smiles in embarrassment.
Feeling a little complicated in his expression, Pharma wanted to ask why.
“What does the clothes have to do with the evil spirits ceasing to be evil?
"I'm in the heat." I like thin clothes because it doesn't make me sweat as much as hyperhidrosis. I want to make my clothes a little lighter during battle, especially when my senses are dull. I didn't like the fact that my clothes got heavier because of the water attribute divine spell. Without wearing a corset, the skirt was either short or had slits to make it easier to move. But I don't wear men's clothes because they don't fit my body. "
(Oh, that outfit wasn't fashion, it was a combat suit.)
In response to a surprising desire for practicality, Pharma sweats a cold sweat, glad he didn't have to step on a mine.
And I realized that you didn't know anything about her troubles and conflicts.
"But if you dress exposedly, some people think you're seducing them." Girls of their age are a pain in the ass, getting caught up in crime. I'm not choosing my clothes to be seen by anyone, and I'm doing well in formal situations. There's no rumor that you can put restrictions on your personal clothes, but you said it anyway. "
"It's pretty tough, isn't it..."
Ellen looked at Farma and sighed.
Farma, do you always get told what you look like?
"I don't know...?"
If there is a sleeping curtain attached, will it be pointed out?
My beard hasn't grown for some reason. I take care of my own grooming.
"For a woman, even if she was properly dressed, it's everyday for her to be exposed to people's gaze and mouth."
That's right.
Blanche was also nodding sideways.
Is Blanche going to say that much?
"Often, yeah, I'm told." I'm fat and thin, my hair is long and short, I don't have a sunburn, but my face looks good. Your chest is starting to swell up... "
"... is that so?"
Farma is exquisite.
She looked so energetic and selfish that she was exposed to such words.
"Brother, I don't like being a grown woman."
The woman who was feeling cramped was so close to me.
(...... I don't want you to think it's embarrassing and painful for your body to grow up......)
Even if he praised his appearance, he would be harassed in the compulsory education of the modern planet, so Farma avoids mentioning his appearance, but imagines that life that is only evaluated by people's appearance would be humiliating.
There is a divine magic in this world, so there is a disparity between the nobility and the people, but there is no difference in power between men and women.
That's why the most powerful divine magician on earth can be the Empress, and the appearance of the Empress, who reigns majestically at the pinnacle, may have empowered the unbelievable woman in this world.
Nevertheless, there is an implicit understanding that women should be obedient to men.
It was even more so among the commoners who said that they could not use divine magic and had no strength.
We are far from a diverse society, and problems have not even been raised in this world.
In a world where there is no magic and the position becomes flat, it is especially necessary to pay attention to diversity.
"I see. It's a world I can't see." If you have to pay more attention to your appearance than your grooming, you must be stressed. "
"Yes, I don't want to be told by strangers that Farma looks like thirty points."
"Indeed. Really, thirty points? What's in it?"
For example...
”I'll do it again... I've never been told”
Whatever position you're in, then you can be evaluated.
I know.
I felt that I had some idea of her feelings.
That distinctive dress could have been her armor to protect her heart and identity.
"Farma, you're a little different." It's very flat and I don't rate or look down on people. That's why I don't feel bad about being with you, and it feels good. "
Is it because Farma respects her that she revealed it to me?
Being equal and harmless to her, she told me about her struggles, grievances, and troubles.
However, we must take seriously the fact that we are told that we don't have much to dislike.
Ellen changed her clothes because the battle is getting smaller now.
"Yes, that's all."
I've never heard such a story before.
I wish I had known her ideas sooner.
“I admire Ellen as she takes her ideas seriously and advances new things.”
"I admire Pharma, who is kind to everyone." I can hardly do that either. "
"He looked at me like that."
"Any man, young or old, strong or weak, will be gentle." I've seen people rotten enough to reach out only to those who have an interest. But you like to help people regardless of their interests. I've never felt anything intentional. ”
Everyone lives with each other's problems, but everyone is dull with the pain of others.
Values are being updated as voices start to be heard on the planet and in other worlds.
As the human rights of all people began to be protected, awareness gradually changed.
I hope everyone can live freely without being locked in a frame.
That's right.
Ellen bites the fruit with a refreshing expression.
Blanche was also relieved when her expression was stiff.
What are you thinking, Pharma-kun?
"Yeah, I got an idea." Try creating skin-friendly underwear and sportswear that will keep you warm even when you sweat. Would you like to launch a new brand? ”
"Oh, I agree. I want to do it."
There is no such thing as sportswear in this world.
In particular, women have no substitute for skirts, and they train in men's clothes when moving their bodies. And there are those who accuse it of "dressing like a man."
The spread of elegant and functional clothing such as Ellen's may also improve women's health. Not only sportswear, but also work clothes, medical and nursing clothes will help more people.
“Let's do it together. Everyone, young and old, can wear something that makes them feel comfortable."
"Is it beyond the job of a pharmacist to make clothes?"
Blanche said so, but Ellen was eager.
Pharma doesn't have the geometry and time anymore, but we can follow its path.
“We've already started a lingerie store. If that kind of clothing is popular, it's going to improve the health of our citizens, as Farma always said."
That's right, let's gather the opinions of everybody who uses it and everybody who has trouble with it.
Create something that the parties really want to participate in making things.
Such a job for someone's comfort will surely gently change the world.
"Blanche, I'm looking forward to growing up."
I see. I hope so.
"If you don't think so, you have to change it." It's impossible in a world where there are no hard people, but maybe we can get rid of a little bit of suffering. ”
Blanche laughed at him with a bouncy smile.
Race, gender, inequality between rich and poor, nobility and common people, disability and disease, differences in values... there are many problems and frictions.
To live in dignity for everyone in a world of diversity.
I hope that while experiencing one update at a time, Farma can get away with it one by one.
I was worried about the future and the conflict, and I thought that a world that was kind to everyone was kind to somebody.
◆
Farma also continues to work at the palace.
However, a year ago, he defeated the chief court pharmacist and promoted Palais to the same position.
At the same time, Bruno also resigned as a court pharmacist.
Bruno founded the World Health Organization while serving as Pharmaceuticals Chief Executive Officer, and is committed to its operation.
Currently, the system of court aide-de-camp is headed by Claude de Schoriac, deputy brigitte le noir, and Martin Meunier.
The system of court pharmacists is headed by court pharmacist Palais de Medicis, deputy Pharma de Medicis, and Françoise de Savoie.
Underneath, he leads a paramedic corps and a pharmacist corps.
The three of them were assigned to the head pharmacist of the House de Medicis, but Elizabeth admitted that she was doing his job.
Palais actively intervened in the court people, and the pharmacists were quick to grasp the hearts and minds of the people, and the trust of the court people was strong because they were not pharmacists everywhere like Pharma, but court servants.
He himself has been able to get the position he had hoped for, and he says it suits him better than becoming an emperor. Incidentally, the selection of the next emperor was on hold.
Speaking of the role of Pharma, I was gently treating diseases that Pare missed, and accepting second opinion consultations. It was a support role for the palette.
As usual, Farma, who was walking in a corner of the palace, realized that there was something and stopped.
There is a secret meeting sign in front of the large conference room.
(You still beat me up today.)
I tried to sneak around the front of the big conference room, feeling awkward.
I had a little less work at the Palace of Farma and left it to Palais, so I was visiting less often, but I ran into a secret meeting.
From time to time Pharma knew that he was having a secret meeting in the courtroom.
Because there are days every month when the closest pharmacists are unnatural and buried in a mysterious schedule. At such a time, the Holy Emperor had to cancel his visit.
In other words, the Holy Emperor is also present.
I think it's totally easy to understand, but I try not to pry too much.
Perhaps they're taking action on some kind of cogwheel, but it's a secret to Pharma.
The members were the Holy Emperor, Bruno, Pare, Emelich, Ellen, Josephine, a few private doctors, and the temple officials.
Pharma uses ophthalmology to estimate the internal members. It seems like a meeting of fifteen people today. As far as I can see, everyone is healthy.
When Farma is about to withdraw,
Miiiii
Noah attacked Farma from behind and strangled her with feathers.
Noah's ambush, which eliminated the signs, was a problem because he didn't really know how to get close to it.
I examined it in the conference room, but I didn't see it. Farma excuses herself.
"I didn't see anything!" There's a sign for a secret meeting, so I was just trying to bypass it. "
"Well, it's a secret meeting or a hobby circle."
Noah jokes about it.
“Okay, I'm going to disperse you so you don't get in the way of circle activities.”
When Farma deliberately spread her hand and tried to retreat,
"You know that, don't you? Who's talking about what inside?"
"... well, mostly."
I know how serious it is to hold a meeting for a few hours a month for more than four years.
I don't know if there's been any progress, but there's nothing in Farma's ear.
"That's it, I don't know if I owe you anything, but there's a lot of people who feel something."
"... thank goodness." But I... "
"Why don't you just let me die clean?" I know, that's how it feels. "
To put it that way, Pharma is in a mixed mood.
According to simulations of Yakutani and Pharma, there is a 70% chance that Pharma will survive in the future.
Perhaps this is the outcome that will please everyone who is attending this secret meeting.
But the remaining 30% will be the result of their grief.
"Don't worry," I can't say anything.
I hope you don't spend too much time on it because it won't work out.
Farma won't take it.
They've already located the grave guards inside.
"Huh? Did you make contact with the Grave Guard?" How! "
"I don't know because I'm not in the meeting."
Since all the members of the meeting are safe, there is no direct contact and the trend is being grasped. Farma wants to find out, but it's possible that Noah is just bluffing to get Farma to break his mouth.
"Is that okay? You can tell me that."
"I'm not your enemy or your ally." But I don't want the world to die anymore. "
Can you trust Noah's words?
After the meeting, Farma cut off the conversation with Noah and walked away.
Mmmmmmmm...
Noah's words came after me.
Farma felt a sense of crisis when they reached the tomb guard.
If they inspire the Grave Guard, the plan to completely heal Yakutani will take root.
