Parallel World Pharmacy

July 11, 1152.

Pharma and Ellen were visiting another production site in Saint-Fleuve, the Octacigny factory, which is directly linked to the Merseil factory.

Octacinee is a large sealed soil given to the Pharma Individual, located in South Fleuve.

It is also a famous wine region that uses the mild climate of the mountainous areas where there are summer and cold places, and it is also blessed with hot springs.

There are many tourist attractions, and old villages spread over water bridges, caves, and cliffs are popular.

The soil components of Octaciny are calcareous, sandstone and rocky.

The Octacinny factory overlooks a majestic mountain range with rocky skin, and operates with many full-time employees.

The Octacinny factory produces alcohol, vinegar, ethers, esters, ethylene glycol, polyethylene, styrene, and solvents.

Of particular importance is the production of anhydrous alcohol using azeotropic distillation technology.

Although Merseil had a proven track record in producing anhydrous ethanol using biomass already, it was not lacking in the procurement of biomass that was reused, such as grapes that were scheduled to be discarded and squeezed in the winery. In addition, there are many long-established wineries in the sealed soil, and it was possible to remodel the winery into a new factory using a winery that had not been in operation for a long time, and it was possible to hire unemployed employees.

In that sense, it is a good land pattern for the operation of the factory.

I wonder if I could stop by the winery.

Ellen, who has no eyes on the wine and loves cheese, is frightened.

Farma wanted to get hit, but she went back to her senses.

"Let's take a tour of the factory first, and we'll leave the winery for later." The Chief Executive Officer (DG) must not go on an inspection because of the smell of alcohol. "

”Oh, that's right... let's do it later”

Ellen looked sorry, but I couldn't help it. Ellen became entangled with Sophie.

Sophie, who abandoned her child, was five years old and remained an active daughter, the same personality as she was when she was a baby. Unlike my all-you-can-eat Blanche, I'm a good girl who's honest and understandable...

It is an unusual attribute with no attributes, and uses the Thunder God spell. However, the habit of releasing an electric shock when excited is as usual, and when I went to Terumae in the Imperial Capital together, I was excited, and it was turned into an electric bath.

She is not informed of the fact that she is an abandoned child, and she thinks she is Ellen's younger sister.

She's mostly a friendly sister, except when we had a fight.

Ellen was bothered to say, "If you say something strong or quarrel, you'll sneak up and get an electric shock from behind... and just before you go out... your hair will explode and it's really bad." I don't think such a sister would like to be Pharma, but Pharma was still clinging to her.

I taught Ellen how to discharge.

I wonder if Sophie is grape juice.

"Shh. Shh. Grapes are good, not muscat."

Sophie seems to be obsessed.

Farma does not distinguish between the taste of muscat and white grapes.

"It's white. I wonder if the anthocyanins in the red grapes are a bit bitter. Well then, let's go for a glass of white grape juice later."

Well then, let's make it a good one.

Electric shocks hurt, but basically they are honest and helpful.

"Welcome, you're here. We've been waiting for you!"

Arriving at the factory, Ellen and Pharma are welcomed by Octacinny factory employees.

"Dear Eleonor, congratulations on your appointment to the DG."

Chiara is the factory director who gives the congratulations.

Chiara transferred the Marseilles plant to Theodore Bayer and went to Octacine to set up the factory in Octacine.

The Octacinny Plant does not use divine power, but operates facilities that use electricity from 1 to 10.

Marseilles uses a power generation system that utilizes the magic circle, but Octacinny uses water from the Teteau River to generate hydroelectric power that draws stable power into the factory.

Thank you! I may not be able to rely on you, but I'll do my best to get results.

I can't tell you that I was going to stop by the winery first, even if my mouth was broken.

"Yes, I will do my best to support you." The operation of the Octacinny factory is on track. The production of pharmaceutical raw materials and products is greatly increased. This is the production performance report for this season. "

"Thank you, that's amazing." You also launched a new line that you said will start next season! ”

“Yes, due to the recent economic boom in the Empire, construction materials are soaring, so we are pushing ahead with the construction period.”

Chiara reports lightly.

It confirms the high level of her managerial skills as she pushes ahead rather than backward.

That's right. Is the power on the new line sufficient?

"With the current production system, there is a slight shortage in summer, but we can probably manage the production in winter and make it in time."

"Batteries and emergency power are also good to use."

Got it.

Farma listens to Ellen and Chiara's interactions without saying a word while dealing with Sophie.

Since you have taken over the DG, I will advise you if I can ask for your opinion, but I will ask the parties to do it as much as possible. By doing so, Pharma can also relieve the grief of the future one by one.

Ellen will often be confused for a while, but I think it would be nice if she remembered how to do Pharma and added some new ideas to it.

Take a tour of the factory with Kiara's guide.

Inside the plant, a continuous distillation system that operates with a loud sound emits a sense of presence.

The raw material stored in the huge tank is transported by the feed pump to the continuous distillation tower from bottom to top, and the excess heat is applied through the pipe, and then separated from those with low boiling points by the temperature difference. There is an anomaly detector, so the operative may not be clear and may come around from time to time. Large quantities of cooling water to remove latent heat in the process of returning steam to liquids play an important role, and it is important to have a cooling system that does not use the magic of water.

Temperature control equipment was developed in collaboration with the newly created San Fleuve Institute of Technology. Since becoming the factory director, Theodore, the character's thick alchemist, has not had much explosion accidents recently, and has developed groundbreaking drug synthesis and production methods one after another. Pharma was relieved to have become a normal and safe engineer. The lack of sleep is completely eliminated by having multiple excellent employees, and the skin is getting brighter.

There is also close communication between the Octacinyl and Merseil plants.

Thanks to the technological innovation of Saint-Fleuve University of Technology, means of communication had developed into facsimile by this time. Farma wasn't particularly clever.

Pharma believes that if the population learns basic knowledge, technological development will also occur naturally. You don't have to teach them everything, it's not necessarily the right thing to do with Earth's civilization. New inventions are born, and knowledge and laws that Pharma did not even know about are spreading to other worlds.

After the factory tour, we also took a commemorative photo with the employees at the Octacinny factory.

There are 180 full-time employees, and they also proudly work like the Marseilles factory staff. While having tea in the reception room in the factory, Ellen talks to Chiara.

The topic will be about the time of DG change.

"But at the time of the change, the stock of the whole empire crashed, and it spread to the world market. It was said that it was Dark Thursday, and I called the stock exchange because of the pharmacy in another world." Farma, what are you? It's open all over again. I'm going to apologize. "

"I haven't reopened, I just took turns." I explained that there is no change in the management structure. "

"That's not going to work! I'm done!"

Farma is listening to Sophie as she plays.

Chiara smiles thinly.

"Fufu, the management team is also very difficult."

Ellen suddenly noticed and called out to Chiara.

"Is Kiara worried about anything, and is the management of the employees working well?" I've got an assistant. "

"I work with satisfaction." You have a good night's rest, and thank you for having a secretary. ”

"I'm sorry, Kiara-san, if that's not the case." Aren't you a bit tired? "

"... yes."

Chiara hesitated for a moment before confessing.

Unwell?

"No, it's not a disease."

Farma looks up in surprise at the exchange.

When I said that, Chiara was thinner than before.

I didn't notice it because I wasn't thin enough to be morbid.

There should have been no abnormalities in the medical examination twice a year.

Ellen placed her tea cup and stretched her spine to face Chiara with a serious look on her face.

"I don't listen to intense stories, but there are a lot of things in life, and I can't work the same way forever, so you can work and rest if you have to. If you plan to come back again, I'll keep the post open, and it's forbidden if you can't. I hate impossible things, and I don't want everyone I work with to do that."

"Thank you. It's a personal matter..."

Since she is originally a medical official, she intends to stay single for the rest of her life without a companion.

Even so, there is no independence in the world, and there is a mother, which is different from the general origin of the priesthood.

"My mother is getting weaker and weaker, and it may not be long anymore." I heard that there are days when I don't eat anything, and I am calling Octacine to live with her, but she says she doesn't want to come to a land she doesn't know. It may be difficult to travel to Octacine. ”

To read the troubles from Chiara's slight expression of cloudiness and leanness was a part that Farma couldn't handle.

Chiara always looked like she was on the street, and she didn't seem to be in any trouble.

(Ellen is amazing. I'm going to be a good proprietor.)

Farma admires Ellen's attention.

"Well, I'm sorry to hear that." Where does your mother live? "

"I live in Marseilles."

Oh, so we're going back to the Marseilles factory?

Is that okay!?

Chiara is surprised and her voice is brighter.

"But this factory... said it hadn't been launched yet."

"It may be a reassignment with Theodore, the factory manager, or if Theodore doesn't come, you can take a new place." It's my job to make it work, and I don't care about the substitutes. ”

"I'm sorry, I might bother you or Mr. Theodore because of me."

Chiara looks sorry.

"No, it was the employer's convenience that ordered the transfer." Farma said it before, but life comes first, work comes later. Mother, how old are you? Are you sick of anything? "

"I'm 59 years old. I think it's because my body is weak, I'm short of breath, my diet is thin, and I'm gradually losing weight. I also went to see a doctor, but I think it's about 30 years old."

It's courageous to doubt a diagnosis based on the experience of a local physician, but Ellen has an objective diagnosis.

It is the knowledge of Pharma's leftover textbooks and clinical tests such as pharmaceutical blood tests, biochemical tests, and physiological function tests.

Any other symptoms?

"If you sweat a lot... maybe it doesn't matter."

"It seems to have something to do with it. Can I see your mother once?"

Ellen took Chiara's hand.

I'm not old at all.

Huh?

"It is different from the world where life expectancy was in the 50s. Don't think about it for the rest of your life."

Even Agata, who is over 80 years old, is still on active duty. When she is this age, she shouldn't be treated anymore.

“Just because you're old doesn't mean your life is worth less. Statistics will have to face the lives of individuals."

……

Chiara looked surprised.

Ellen spoke gently.

"Break the common sense and change the world." That's the kind of company we are. "

Ellen gave Farma a gaze, and Farma nodded vigorously.

"Ellen's right, I care about Kiara-san's mother."

The world is changing.

Farma wanted to support the journey of shaping a new world away from a complete copy of the Earth.

"I see... it's just common sense that I've cut myself off from things I can't help anymore."

"I can't say it's going to heal, but maybe there's something I can do."

Supplemented by Pharma.

I don't know what I won't try. I might let you down.

Chiara was hesitant to say, "But..." but she seemed determined.

Thank you, I'll make arrangements.

Let's hurry.

"Okay, in a few days."

“Let's take a break from work and get back to Merseil. Then let's make the transfer and succession relationship, and now think only about your mother. You don't have to think about anything else."

This may be the case with blood-soaked management.

Before you can contribute to society, you have to be happy with the people who work for you.

Farma and Ellen looked reliably at him.

“I don't think any great knowledge or medicine is going to make any sense unless the people around me fall ill. I want to be a pharmacist who can help people close to me. People who are involved in the production of medicines shouldn't have a hard time.”

It was Ellen who wanted to incorporate the concept of Bien-être into the company.

"If you look at Farma-kun's back, the employee will get in line with overwork by mistake," she said, trying to get a warning for overwork.

Ellen was thinking about it, and Farma reflected and admired it.

◆

After visiting the factory, Chiara returned home on the same day, Ellen took care leave procedures on the spot, and Farma and the others arrived at the winery where Ellen was looking forward to.

Sophie was already asleep, but when Ellen said "Shiraz grapes" and woke her up, she said, "Where!?" I jumped up and my eyes were shining brightly.

Hospited by the Lord of the Château, Pharma greets cheerfully.

“My name is Farma de Medici, and I want to thank you for your time today.”

"Oh, are you the lord?" You're still young! You don't have a good reputation. Thank you very much for your kind letter. Have a look at my chateau, it's stocked with the finest wines. ”

"I'm afraid not."

Château in the wine industry means a castle, but not a castle, but a winemaker as big as a castle.

Wander the vast wine roads and get a description of the grape varieties from the growers.

“As you know, fine red wines come from black grapes. Thanks to its mild climate, the Château's grapes are sourced from large, thin-skinned grapes to produce fine varieties. For this reason, even if the maturation period is short, the wines are less bitter and more aromatic.”

"Huh..."

This time, my chateau was selected as one of the top five chateaux.

Ratings for wine seem to have recently increased as exports have grown.

It's ranked from 1 to 5, with a score of 1. It seems that there are only five châteaux in the world with a score of 1.

"Congratulations."

Both Pharma and Ellen listened with interest.

Only Sophie was napping in the carriage during the inspection, and she said, "What about the grapes?" "What about the grapes?" he shouted.

“White grapes are a habit, and we have a variety that is child-friendly. Let's do some grape juice later.”

Wow.

After a tasting of antique wine at the brewery, you can enjoy a glass of wine in a local dish with a focus on cheese.

"Haa, great! After work, the cup stings my body."

Ellen was in a trance for what she was looking for.

"Whoa, here."

With a small hand, Sophie gets a large glass of white grape juice.

Farma watched Sophie break the glass, flirting with frustration, and received the rosé wine, which is also the summer poem of Saint-Fleuve.

The wine appears to be made by the Sénier method, which involves crushing grapes and removing fruit peels during fermentation.

There are ways to blend red and white wines, but they are banned in the Saint-Fleuve Empire. There is a strong belief that rosé wine should be made from the colour of grape skins, and producers who do not adhere to tradition may be fined.

Pharma was reminded that efficiency is a virtue in the pharmaceutical industry, but there are also areas where it is considered a virtue to be created in a laborious and time-consuming way.

◆

A few days later, Pharma and Ellen headed for Marcel's home in Chiara.

Chiara was already on nursing leave and taking care of her mother.

My mother has fallen asleep and is barely able to eat.

Ellen is escorted to her mother's bedroom by Chiara and Chiara's brother.

Chiara's family was a family of local celebrities and a wealthy family.

Ellen greets her mother, Benoit, with a lavishly embroidered canopy.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Benoit. My name is Eleonor, and I'm a first-class pharmacist. Kiara-san will take care of it and check it up. How would you like to do that?"

"Ahh... yes"

Even though Ellen called out, Benoit seemed to have a poor response.

Benoit was thin enough to see his skeleton rise up.

It was no wonder that Kiara was worried about her life.

Ellen, I'll be outside then.

Yeah, I'll take care of the rest.

During the examination of a woman who may have peeled off her skin, Farma leaves the room and listens to the conversation from the outside.

Ellen asks Chiara about Benoit's current diet, dietary content, urination, number of bowel movements, sleep status, etc., and grasps the medical condition while writing on the medical record.

Ellen can also use the eye exam, but she doesn't use it.

Following the medical history, blood pressure, heart rate, body temperature, and blood sampling will be performed.

His heart rate remains unchanged, but he finds an arrhythmia, sweats and hot flashes, and when he pinches his skin, he seems to be dehydrated.

It seems that she has been nodding at night for a while and hasn't slept.

Because the number of meals has decreased, the number of defecation and urination has decreased.

Benoit looks like he's staring at the canopy. His hands are trembling in small touches.

"Does your mother's eyes feel like this for a long time?"

"Yeah... I don't think it's changed."

Ellen asks Chiara.

The search for disease names that Ellen had predicted might be this in her brain has begun, but because the characteristic symptoms that are determinants are sparse, I am lost in the determination.

Can you close your eyelids?

"No....."

There is no reaction.

Ellen closed her eyes around Benoit's throat. Because the button on the collar came off.

Is it painful around your throat?

Ellen was concerned.

"Excuse me."

Ellen looks around Benoit's throat.

And...... I nodded one by one, relieved.

“Hyperthyroidism is suspected from the overall symptoms of hyperthyroidism. You will need to wait for a blood test for confirmation, but please wait for half a day.”

Farma came in later and confirmed that she agreed.

Ellen returns to the Marseilles factory to have Theodore help her with a blood test.

TSH, T4, and T3 hormone concentrations are measured for thyroid function testing.

At the same time, I interrogated Theodore about the Octacinny transfer as a substitute for Chiara, but she said, "The transfer is more of a shock," so the story was quickly put together.

TSH decreased, T4 and T3 increased. Exactly what we predicted.

Calcitonin levels should also be checked to ensure they are not thyroid cancer.

He was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism due to Bassedou disease and immediately returned to the mansion with a complete set of therapeutic drugs.

"It looks like hyperthyroidism. There's plenty of potential for treatment.”

"Well... I can't believe it wasn't old."

Chiara admires Ellen's tact and is ashamed to have given up her mother's life.

"For treatment, we will start thiamazole. Thiamazole blocks the biosynthesis of thyroid hormones, so you can suppress excessive thyroid hormones.”

Thiamazole was also manufactured at the Merseil factory.

Chiara reacts because she sounds familiar with the name of the drug.

“That's right, Roger's shop had a Basheddo patient, so we started production on that occasion. I borrowed it from Mr. Theodore."

Chiara was thrilled to learn that she could use the medicine she was involved in manufacturing.

"Come on, I'll accompany you for a while until your mother's illness is cured." Tell me as soon as you feel a fever or sore throat. There may be strong side effects. If the medicine works, I think the symptoms will go away. ”

Thank you!

In response to Ellen's calm explanation, Chiara was shedding tears of relief.

Here you go, buddy.

After leaving the Mansion, Farma nibbles at Ellen.

This time I didn't make it, that's right.

It's because there was a precedent at Roger's place.

"Both medicine and pharmacy are stacks of unprecedented data and statistics. Diagnosis based on clinical data is more valuable than diagnosis using ophthalmology.”

That's all right, ”Pharma and Ellen walk alongside the horses.

“The situation where only people who can use eye examinations can diagnose is wrong.”

Farma says to herself:

……

There was no response from Ellen.

Maybe she feels it too.

Little by little, even without Pharma, the situation is getting better and better.
