Parallel World Pharmacy

"Hmm, I know the general situation. Well done. You reported it."

The empress nods loudly. Salomon told the Empress of his previous revelations.

If Pharma and Salomon went to the palace by carriage together, they might find Salomon in the temple, so they sent out carriages separately and came to the palace separately.

Farma, who came first, reported, and Salomon, who came later, told us more about the situation.

Pharma went back to the pharmacy sales.

"The Holy Nation is plotting to seal Pharma in the Great Temple, that's fine with me"

"Yes, while still"

Salomon did not vomit where Pharma was, but was imprisoned for sheltering him. By the way, the priests under Salomon had no particular blame, but had been transferred to the temples of other countries and were being watched.

"Is Pharma a drug god?"

Elizabeth asks again.

From the mouth of the former clergyman, I wanted to hear what he said.

"I don't know if I can reveal the incarnation of the drug god or the possession of the drug god, but I have no doubt about it. You are in denial."

"Oh, Pharma is changing a little"

The Empress loosens her mouth.

"I am a god who is desperately trying to tame the world of men and to be closer to man. She even has the power to create and change the world, but she doesn't know her true power because she has never demonstrated it. That would also be your personality, completely different from the patron saint you've been."

While I took the risk, I twice helped a man like me, and there was a fever in Salomon's words that spoke that way.

"Is the Temple still after Pharma?

"Perhaps...... Dear Pharma's divine power is infinite, unmatched compared to the patron saints of history. Whether it's kidnapping or taking hostages, we're trying to welcome Lord Pharma to the Grand Temple. Pharma-like tailings will still be made by clerics today. Neither pharmacy nor mansion is safe at all, Farma's family is in danger."

I'm talking about a temple that doesn't choose means, and Salomon is concerned that one of these days he will take hard means.

"That's a liberal thing. What will the Temple do to capture Pharma?"

"On the face of it, we are told to seal the patron saint in the Grand Temple and worship him"

"How do you seal it?"

It was a story involving the temple's confidentiality. Talk to the Empress of the World about it as a cleric.

He betrayed the temple. But I have no regrets for him.

"We are in a state of incarceration in a place called the Holy Place. Once in, the divine sealing technique is laid, so the patron saint loses his divine power and can never leave again. Since the Holy Place is a space to absorb divine power, the divine power of the Pharma will always be exploited. Life in the sanctuary is as comfortable as a palace, worshipped by a multitude of clerics and not indissoluble in clothing and accommodation, but deprived of liberty."

Salomon annotated that if the divine sealing technique worked on Pharma.

There has also been an example in the past that God's seal does not work for a strong God. Salomon also thought that Pharma could escape without difficulty even if he was imprisoned in the Great Temple.

The Empress revealed her discomfort when she heard the temple's plans.

"The temple can hear you, such as being able to hold a patron saint. Do the priests have no faith?"

You're right.

Salomon bowed his head in awe.

"I don't know what happens when Pharma, who is so obsessed with medicine and patients, is trapped in a temple and can't heal them."

Elizabeth thinks she's crazy.

I want him to do what he wants. Only the granting of earthen and financial aid to Pharma has kept intervention in pharmacies to a minimum, even for the empress.

That pharmacy is a sanctuary. Elizabeth thought it should be, a place where humans should not tread on the ground.

"That's how the Temple exploits the divine power of Pharma, and what the hell it intends to use it for"

"I'm the chief cleric. Only the Privy Cleric can know the truth."

"Hmmm... well done, you've revealed yourself"

Next time, if the temple captures you, there will be no life for Salomon. But Salomon said this without giving in.

"I serve God, not the temple"

This meant that Salomon was devoting his faith above all to Pharma.

And Salomon thought that only the Emperor could protect Pharma from strength and power.

"What are you going to do with that? It's a shame to make you vulgar."

"I am staying as a guest of the de Medicis family, but I intend to leave to see the fit as it will be annoying. I have something to look for."

After that, Salomon was going on a wandering journey.

I was thinking of following the legend of "Holy Fountain” for Pharma and going looking for it.

"Well, what I want to look for and what else I want to look for, so don't you intend to be a court minister?"

The Empress said that. Salomon may be.

"If the temple is watching, even temporarily, it is too human to hide such a thing in the House of the Lord. In that regard, if the rest of the palace is not invited, the priests of the Empire cannot enter. It's a great place to hide people. The knowledge of the former clergyman is useful. I also want you to help me greatly as a theological advisor to Yuya and the Empire. In particular, the mystery of opening and closing divine veins will be a trump card to counter the Holy Nation. Plus, if I were here, the faithful Pharma would come as court pharmacists."

"Whatever you say. Thank you for your generosity."

In addition to his safety, it was an indescribable condition for Salomon.

…━━…━━…━━…

Around that time. Farma was returning to the pharmacy one foot away for a break.

"It's a mystery..."

(It's my employee ID, how did this happen?)

After a few days, Farma couldn't even grasp a clue as to what the hell was going to do with the staff ID, which had been worshipped as a great treasure in the basement of the Great Shrine.

"Farma, you don't even know how to use it."

Ellen watermarks a staff card that shines beautifully like a gem.

Of course, this is a treasure that Ellen cannot even hold.

The treasure cannot be pierced and pocketed through organic matter, so it is wrapped in aluminum foil and held.

In the meantime, use it as a amulet for when you come up with a way to use it and keep it on your skin. Pharma even thought about it.

Next to those Pharmas, Lotte secretly had a loud sigh.

"Ha ha... I don't know what to do, no more..."

It was so loud that I couldn't hear it, but Pharma didn't miss it.

"What's wrong, Lotte? I heard what to do. Say anything you need."

Ellen gently slaps Lotte on the shoulder.

"I can't stop bleeding..."

In a voice that seemed to disappear, Lotte confessed.

"Cuts or something? Where? Shall we see?

When Pharma asks with vegetables, Lotte slowly escapes. There is no abnormality anywhere when I use the eye exam.

"No, please don't!

Farma regretted it after hearing it in a detour.

(When I said I was about the age of Lotte and I couldn't detect the disease in my eye and couldn't stop bleeding)

Is that it, Farma imagines?

"Ha ha, maybe"

Ellen coughs up and punches Lotte in the ear.

"..., right?

To Ellen's inquiry, Lotte agreed to not lean over. Apparently, it was a star.

"Lotte, that's right. I joined an adult woman."

Lotte had her first period.

"Are you an adult?"

Ellen explains the changes that have occurred to Lotte's body.

"I didn't know... I can't believe this happened!

"Oh, Lotte. Didn't your mother ever tell you that? Since when?

"Since yesterday. More and more, I thought I might die like this..."

"You're on the second day. Everyone gets more on the second day."

In this world, education about the bodies of common women was not something like being lagging behind. It was supposed to be embarrassing to talk about sex. With that background in mind, Catherine, Lotte's mother, also said she had not yet taught Lotte about the first period.

Lotte softens as she cares about her hips. Lotte is doing something she's unfamiliar with, so she can't help but wonder if her menstrual bleeding is leaking.

In particular, pharmacy uniforms often stand out in white apron dresses.

"What shall we do?"

"Well, congratulations."

Pharma blesses.

"I don't want to congratulate you."

Ellen smiled bitterly. Because of the cultural differences between Japan and Japan, which celebrates growth by cooking red rice, the feeling of congratulations in the first period does not seem to exist in this world.

"If you're curious, why don't you buy a red dress and wear it? I wear black in my personal clothes the day the moon arrives, so I don't stand out."

Ellen jokes.

(Were you)

Pharma has purchased extra information.

"So, what's your biggest worry about Lotte?

Did Ellen feel Pharma's cold gaze or go back to the topic of derailment?

"In the meantime, my back hurts so much. Then I worry about my clothes getting dirty."

"Your back hurts because of relaxin."

Pharma pinches his mouth. A type of ovarian hormone, relaxin acts to loosen joints throughout the body. When the perpubic gland is loosened, it will feel particularly painful around your lower back.

Farma can't even imagine the pain, so I asked.

"Pain relief, you want it? I can get you some medicine, though."

"It's not unbearable."

Lotte shook her head.

"I'm going to tell you a little bit of a story, but it's not a nasty story."

Farma asks, feeling slightly uncomfortable.

"Wow, I'll take my seat off, I'll go deposit the money with the bank"

Cedric, who knew it was going to be a topic of female sexuality, left with a hesitation.

'Cause I'm never asking you for weird purposes.

Pharma pushes caution.

"You don't have to stick around that much."

I put it in a way that went around too much, so Ellen smiled a lot and put her glasses back on. Lotte hid behind Ellen.

"What's going on with women's sex education? I'm a man, so I want to know the truth about women."

Even against Pharma, sex education on the male side was not given at all in the Medicis family.

Maybe that's because Bruno is hesitant to teach Pharma knowledge, or maybe he taught long ago, or maybe the decision that he hasn't because it's too early to teach Pharma yet.

As for Palais, she said she was pretty sexually liberated, but even if she was made, she was using contraception. Palais must have learned it in medical school.

"So what kind of underwear and menstrual supplies are you wearing?

By the way, Pharma's underwear is an integrated shirt and pants. This is common to both men and women and is the same even for royal nobility.

And when it comes to menstrual supplies for women in modern Japan,

Sanitary towel

tampons (TAMPON) that cylindrically form cotton and insert it into the vagina with an applicator,

In addition to this, overseas there is also a menstrual cup that is inserted directly into the vagina. In the European area, tampons still dominate.

"I'm not wearing underwear."

Ellen was a no-pan. That's not just Ellen, he says, but everyone, old and young.

"What is a menstrual product?

Lotte is just getting her neck out a bit, hiding more and more behind Ellen.

When I heard the story, he apparently stuffed close to tampons. Materials include silk and animal hair. Common people pack cotton, etc.

"How long have you been wearing that stuffing?

Pharma concentrates on taking notes to keep them out of sight as much as possible out of the awkwardness.

"Until that person thinks he should replace it, generally. It depends."

Common people say it's not uncommon to wear it for more than a day because they don't care if the blood doesn't leak. They also try not to replace menstrual products as much as possible because they are never sold but expensive.

"Ellen would already know, but if you wear it for a long time, it can be a hotbed of germs, cause infections, and even lead to the worst sepsis. And then it's dangerous to pack something that's not clean."

"Don't be scared, then what am I supposed to do? Farma, the level of cleanliness you seek is too high for ordinary people. It's something to throw away anyway."

Ellen glances. Put together a note, Farma said.

"Have them develop inexpensive, clean and easy-to-use menstrual products to handle with MEDIQUE and Pharmacy Guild"

What Pharma suggested was a set of underwear and napkins that he thought could be safer to manage.

Make it clean and hygienic. Then, when that starts to get on track, you should also make tampons.

"Um... I wonder if you could try it on. I'll try it on myself."

"No -!!"

Lotte screamed and ran away outside the pharmacy.

Farma feels sorry that I must have been extremely embarrassed.

"Farma, now that you say something weird, Lotte, I'll give you skim cotton in time for now, so stay back."

"Did I say something weird...? I might have told you."

(Sure, it's not a matter for a man pharmacist to step in)

This kind of thing doesn't work out when a man walks in.

"Even for Lotte, I'm going to make a little napkin prototype. Ellen, can you help me, too? When I'm alone, it's hard to do this. So is development, but I especially want female pharmacists to do the dissemination"

Ellen may be shy, but Pharma can't, it's necessary.

"It's a delicate problem. Nothing. Farma, you're a child, so you're still allowed to be critical, but if a grown man tells you that, you're gonna get busted."

"Ha..."

(The contents, I can't tell you it's a grown man...)

Pharma enters the laboratory on the fourth floor with Ellen, frightened inside.

The structure of the menstrual napkin is laminated from the part bordering the underwear to the waterproof film, the water absorbent, and the surface material. Pharma gives Ellen an idea sketch.

"Fine, this. I'd love to try it."

Hydrophilic high absorption polymers (SAPs) are essential as water absorbers for high absorption napkins.

"Is that how you synthesize from a high absorbent polymer that becomes a water absorbent?"

The high water absorption polymer has a water absorption power of more than ten times the weight, and once the water is inhaled, pressing does not produce water. This will prevent transfusion leakage. Lotte will be relieved.

Since water absorbing polymers are polymeric compounds, those that are unimaginable of Pharma cannot suddenly make compounds. So acrylic acid, acrylate, and crosslinkable monomers (polymerizers) are made separately, and then added, polymerized, precisely copolymerized.

When the polymerization is finished, it becomes sodium polyacrylate. where Pharma continued to work while explaining that

"What, polymerization?"

Watching the work of polymerization, I was confused by the words Ellen couldn't hear.

"It's about reacting chemically so that substances of the same structure can connect."

"Like a pearl necklace?

"There is also a linear polymerization like that. It polymerizes into a lattice mesh."

It would be easy to understand when it comes to jungle gyms, Farma tried to explain, so I stopped because jungle gyms don't get through to Ellen.

"Done. This is the absorbent polymer."

"It's just white powder."

"Well, don't say that."

The two of them came down from the lab. Pharma spills a glass of water vigorously on the pharmacy table.

"Hey, what are you doing, Farma?"

"Oh, you spilled it. I'll get you a towel."

Before Lotte could get a towel, Farma poured just a pinch of polymer over the puddle. Then, the white powder absorbs the water.

"Eh, a glass of water, a little powder sucked up."

Ellen and Lotte looked out. The more I looked at it, the more I absorbed the moisture.

"Try pushing that"

Pharma urges. I pressed the polymer, which Lotte had jellied, all the way down.

"The water won't come out!

"If you keep a cloth stuck in this, you don't have to worry about your clothes getting dirty. Now that we've done this, we can develop baby and elderly diapers at the same time as napkins."

The use goes beyond napkins.

"I think I'll make a diaper and have Mr. Selst's baby try it on too"

When she offered to ask Serst, the liver mother pharmacist, for help as well, Serst agreed with pleasure.

"By the way, Farma, you could have a napkin, but what kind of shorts do you wear that? If you don't paint me, I won't know."

"Yeah, well, I'll design it by tomorrow."

Farma, who painted several patterns of underwear designs, including Lotte's shorts, all night long, was in the mood for the most ”overtime wondering if she was a pharmacist" ever.

The following day, cute shorts with laces and Pharma napkins were completed, which were quickly made by luxury tailors. They were put in boxes for presents at Pharma's hands and handed to Lotte. Oddly enough, it is, March 15th. It was Lotte's eleventh birthday, so it was a gift with her birthday cake.

"Happy birthday, Lotte! And then I was wondering if you could take this too. It's underwear, so open it later, not now."

"Oh, thank you!

Lotte heard the words and received her underwear set in embarrassment.

"Farma, you're not in the right place."

Ellen mourns after handing it over as it becomes what a subtle air it is.

"I'm not even going to make it a birthday present. It just so happens."

Nevertheless, the then Lotte herself was pleased to say that by then Lotte's menstruation was drawing to an end, but this would reassure her from next month.

"Apparently you don't have to wear a red dress, it's great to wear!

"I'd like to try it, too."

When I hear Lotte's reputation, Ellen laughs. Test products were then also paid to female pharmacy staff, Ellen and part-time female secondary pharmacists Celst and Rebecca. Rebecca, shy of being handed a napkin by Pharma, was too shy to graduate. And

"Ahhh, the store owner is ahhh!

That's what I said and when I left, I had a fever the next day and took a break from the pharmacy.

"I should have given it to you."

Ellen waxed to Pharma later.

"I think so too."

Pharma wants a chest, wondering if they thought she was a pervert.

I had a small diaper brought to me by a part-time pharmacist Celst baby to try it on.

Basil, the baby who was six months old, did not hate wearing paper diapers and was in a good mood.

"Basil seems comfortable too. It makes parenting easier! When we do, we have to get them all dressed, and it's tough."

The mother Celst rejoiced.

"I'll make a lot of them. Use them."

"Thank you! Thanks!

Celst seemed happier than when he received his paybag.

Subsequently, in addition to clean napkins, baby and elderly diapers, a mass production system of underwear was to be laid at the Marseil plant so that underwear for men and women could be handled at MEDIQUE (Medik) and dispensary stores. With regard to the raw materials of the polymer, Pharma provided the synthesis.

Also, for people with sensitive skin rashes on polymers, it was also sold in cotton as a napkin material. Since polymer products are difficult to dispose of, special garbage bags were distributed, garbage collection boxes were set up at pharmacies and dispensing guild stores, and flame magic was hired to pass filters to prevent dioxins from being released and disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner.

"Well, my lower body has finally settled down."

Pharma also finally got something made that looked like a brief and finally got rid of the restlessness of her lower body. I also handed it out to Bruno, Cedric and the part-time first-degree pharmacist Roger, but I haven't asked him if he wore it. "This is good," Palle said, placing an additional order for a wash. Her mother, Beatrice, quickly ran to MEDIQUE to buy a new one. Blanche, when he gets his favorite shorts tailored and worn, gives him a skirt to look innocent on Pharma. As for Pharma, I wanted you to give me a break.

Having thought that this would undoubtedly hit the invention to be reported to the Empress, Pharma, while hesitating, did not forget to dedicate a set of underwear and menstrual supplies to the Empress.

It's just too delicate a problem, so Ellen took the place.

"What the hell does that drug God do when he's in danger?"

The queen, who said so, liked it and loved it when she tried it on, ordered Teito to create a linge (Range: underwear) store, and always started picking up new pieces.

And the empress's favorite use made these a secret boom among fashion-sensitive ladies and ordinary people.
