Parallel World Pharmacy

4: 9 Story Alchemist (?) Farma de Medicis

"How do you keep a baby with the qualities of thunderous divinity, adopted by the Bonufois?"

Regular visits in court, at which time the Empress confirms to Pharma the current situation of Sofi.

The Empress looked like this, she was just the mother of one child and she liked children.

"Yes, we are still thundering well today. That electric shock also makes you feel better when you get used to it."

It was Pharma and Ellen who had been taught one way or another.

"Ha ha, that's a promising future use of divinity."

Sure, I didn't seem to worry about kidnapping when it came to Sophie.

The moment you cry, the kidnapper will be electrocuted, and you can see a discharge around her with an emotional aura. Since it is flashy again, there will be nothing near it.

"I'd like to try to make it quick, I don't know if it'll get bigger soon."

And to the quick-minded empress, Pharma had a dry laugh.

"Please wait at least ten more years to meet His Majesty"

"Um, tell Eleonor to take Sophie next time"

He is Sophie, a 0-year-old who turned from a miserable abandoner and was blinded by the Emperor of the Great Empire. I guess the Empress puts her expectations on Sophie as a lightning technician, but as for Pharma, I wanted her to have a mild childhood. As an open pharma, I also feel responsible for being treated uncommonly because it is a rare attribute of no attribute.

"Speaking of which, electric shock is not only an attack, but also a life-saving!

I can't wait to be given a combative talent education on the orders of the Empress, Farma, who thought so, PR the use of moderate abilities.

"Ha, that's exactly what you're talking about buying too much. What can a baby do?"

"That's..."

Pharma started explaining.

A week ago, an old civilian went and fell near the pharmacy.

Pharma was called by the citizens to rush, but he already had a cardiac arrest and his cardiac muscles had an irregular beat, which was bright red even in the eyes of the diagnosis and could not be applied by the hands.

When everyone gave up his life, Ellen was busting Sophie, so I came up with it and lowered Sophie, letting her put those little hands and feet in a position as good as the civilian chest, and tried to tickle her wax.

Then Sophie, who knew nothing, was electrocuted with great joy, and the civilians were defibrillated by an electrical shock and breathed back by restarting CPR.

It's totally AED......, Pharma was surprised.

"What no? You brought back a human with a cardiac arrest, huh?!

The empress who heard the story was so excited that she was about to roll off the throne.

"I've never heard of such a divine user!

"Technically,” cardiac arrest ”is different. It's not the heart that stopped beating, it's the heart that stopped beating normally."

Pharma corrects the fine parts. There must be no misunderstanding.

Unlike cardiac stillness and cardiac arrest, it is at cardiac arrest that Sophie's electric shock may be effective.

"Yeah, I don't know if they say such a subtle difference. How could that happen!

Empress Elizabeth is short minded. No explanation is required for more than thirty seconds.

"All the muscles of our flesh are moving with electrical signals. Flow the current and your heart may signal."

Hmmm...... the Empress thought.

"No way, those of noble origin who have ever been judged to be civilians with no open divine veins. Wasn't it just overlooked because it was unaffiliated?"

To the Empress's words, Salomon, who was listening with the court men in the Empress's office, atrophies.

"No, it's not. Unattributed appraisal is difficult, if you don't open any of the attributes, you could be overlooked."

"If so, it would be a great loss to the Empire to leave the divine veins of unattributed divine artists asleep"

"I don't know."

Salomon agrees.

"O Pharma, can you then appraise a divine artist?"

"No, you just see the divine vein, you can't appraise it"

It is Pharma who has a feeling that there will be more work. But even as Pharma, it was not stingy to work together to restore their honor.

"If you see a divine vein, why don't you look at it?"

"Okay. Let's try it. After that, please ask Mr. Salomon."

The Empress came up with it and let them gather in secret civilians of noble origin from all over the empire.

More than three hundred civilians were invited to the palace by day and time, but Pharma found that five of them were unaffiliated deities, and let them open their divine veins on the spot.

Pharma opens the divine vein, but when Salomon performs the appraisal because he is unable to appraise the attributes, he was found with a very rare patron saint that has not been found in the last hundred years, such as the unattributed merchant god, the musical god, the temporal god, the travel god, the agricultural god, etc. They lived a life of hardship, from fifteen to forty-eight years of age, all abandoned by their parents and each deposited in an orphanage attached to the Temple, but with their new surname they were described by the Viscounts and Barons, who were to be given immediate enclosure by the Empress around the Imperial capital.

"I'll try to find it, but I found an unexpected treasure"

The Empress was in the mood. Excellent use of divine art is the property of the Empire. Excellent results can be expected in this field by distributing suitable materials in place.

"Yes, it will also indirectly point to a reduction in the clergy's ability to exhume divine veins, which is an earache. But if the Holy Nation knew this..."

Salomon was anxious that the priests of the Temple of Imperial Capital would not pass on this information.

If Pharma is the only one who unearthes the divine veins of unattributed divine use and opens them. The temple will increasingly want Pharma.

"We have to make it unpretentious. Damn, how much does that boy benefit the Empire"

"Thank you. Farma's plan to rehabilitate the world cannot remain with the Empire alone."

Farma doesn't stop thinking about the people of other countries, not that it's okay if his own place is comfortable.

"Fair enough, if you will."

That's the best, the Empress thinks.

"I'd love for you to stay at peace at this rate."

The Empress was strengthening the security of the de Medicis family.

He disguised himself as a passerby, deployed the Holy Knight of the Imperial Army, and captured and interrogated such unsuspecting doubters as were trying to sneak into pharmacies and the de Medicis family that Pharma would not notice them, and also stuck them out of the empire. Of course, Bruno had also increased the number of the Holy Knights for the security of the Mansion and the University, reinforcing his night patrols to ensure that no harm was done to his family and servants. Of the several enclosures offered by Bruno, cooperation with the territory of Marseille was also particularly close.

For the first time, with the empress and Bruno's hand, Pharma is able to lead a daily life without seemingly occurring.

…━━…━━…━━…

"Good day, Master Pharma"

Pierre, the head of the Pharmacy Guild, came to the different world pharmacies. My daughter is with me.

Pierre, a wood-leaking pharmacy, regularly comes to the pharmacy after hitting a carriage. Buy it together and distribute it to each pharmacy merchant while giving Pharma medication and prescribing instructions. Over-the-counter medicines that can be sold in Japan without a pharmacist, such as cold medicines and antipyretics, as well as daily health foods, oral care products, and various physiological products, are widely handled.

"This, you. Say hello."

"Oh, you..."

When Pharma spoke, Pierre's daughter put her face behind Pierre's back and gave her a peppery salute. And look at Pharma in embarrassment. Pierre, I hear you have complicated thoughts about Pharma since he put a suppository in Pharma during the flu. Pharma remembers who she treated, but it was only a perception of medication, so she couldn't pinch why she was blushing.

"Uh, you got candy?

When Pharma spoke with a candy bin, she hid behind Pierre.

"Lotte, if you've got your hands on it, have a snack with this kid on the third floor and take a break."

"Uh, okay? Are you sure? Really!?"

"Yes, yes, I really do"

"Yes!

Lotte skipped and went to get a tea set. I should have been baking orange cake today.

"What do you say, that way?"

Farma also tries to face the regular meetings of the Pharmacy Guild held on a regular basis, but basically leaves the management of the Guild to Pierre.

"Every store is a right shoulder up sales. The demand for menstrual products, diapers and underwear is particularly"

"That's good. Place female pharmacists in stores dealing with menstrual products"

Menstrual products are a delicate problem, so it would be difficult to buy them from male pharmacists.

"Yes, I'm telling you to hire one female pharmacist. And when it comes to diapers, there's a lot of demand for young knights."

If you wear armor, you think you will treasure it especially because it is not easy to put on and take off? They also sold diapers made of cotton to fly.

"Ha... that's surprising. I was going to use it for long-term care. Tell them to refrain from wearing it for long periods of time, because there are obstacles to hygiene."

After that, I hear good stories about the economy. The pharmacy guild has been doing well itself these days.

The number of registered pharmacists has also increased, and merchants are performing well. Reduced drug prices unleashed potential demand for imperial citizens. Pharmacy guild merchants followed the rules of prescription properly and caused few problems. Because there is no access to medicines other than purchasing them from different world pharmacies or from related plants. It is difficult for Pierre and Pharma to lose their guild.

"The pharmacy guild is doing well, isn't it? How about a pharmacist guild merchant?

"Poor thing, you have fewer customers. At first I thought it felt good, but when this makes a difference..."

The Pharmacist Guild, formerly headed by Bellon, still exists fine with a new guild length, even though Pharma has absorbed the majority of pharmacists into its newly launched Pharmacy Guild. Nevertheless, since the Empress's decree abolished dangerous and toxic drugs, herbs, potions, mushrooms and plant and animal dries are the main drugs that can be handled.

"Really..."

When I hear that, I feel sorry for Pharma, too.

"Some citizens still use traditional medicines... but in Imperial City, survival is difficult."

Ellen also sympathized.

"Provide financial and technical assistance to pharmacies in difficulty"

Pharmacy guilds are now able to live like modern drugs and health goods, and pharmacists guilds deal with traditional drugs. but the pharmacy guild took customers. Maybe the pharmacists are less fruitful.

"Ha? Ha, I'll do that if Master Pharma wants to."

It's like sending salt to an enemy, but from Pierre's point of view, I didn't think I'd be able to fill the difference in sales now.

"They have a life, too. If the management doesn't work, tell them to come talk to me."

Farma didn't want to crush the pharmacist guild either, she just wanted to make sure that the common people would never be sold crude and nasty drugs at high prices, but rather, after the guild executives who were hostile to Farma snuck out of the organization, she also gave advice to store owners who visited different world pharmacies individually on the efficacy of raw drugs and herbs, and taught them recipes that could be used at the daily table, and how to formulate medicine tea.

"I don't know what's going on... It looks like a pharmacist alchemist belonging to the Pharmacist Alliance is gathering together alchemists and pharmacists from the Imperial City to do something suspicious."

"Alchemist..."

Alchemy is the prime mover in the natural sciences on Earth. It can be said that chemistry has developed due to the vast trials and errors of the alchemists. Many compounds have been discovered by alchemists and are sometimes applied to drug discovery. It goes well with pharmacy.

But Bruno seems to have been negative for alchemy, and Farma Boy's bookcase didn't have all the alchemy-related books. It was therefore a word almost close to the first ear for Pharma.

"Is the alchemist the ultimate purpose of, uh... removing gold from the inferior metal? What do they usually do?

Pharma wonders where the research funding comes from, etc.

"It's not a very commercial profession, so the alchemists themselves are not that numerous. Usually, I make a living by synthesizing compounds. You could sell that to a pharmacist, or an alchemist could be a pharmacist. But the ultimate goal is to immortalize humans and synthesize gold."

"They say you can do it if you have a sage stone. Your master denied it."

Ellen pinches her mouth.

"Since your father, Sir Bruno de Medicis, published the famous thesis that sage stones cannot be synthesized seven years ago, he has been hopeless about the synthesis of gold among national and international pharmacists and alchemists. But the alchemist synthesized the stones of the wise."

(Does this world also have the concept of a sage stone...)

Listening to Bruno's achievements, Farma is emotional to hear the word ”stone of the wise”.

A sage stone can also be a catalyst for the creation of immortality drugs and gold. Medicine in medicine, that's the image. Of course, it's legendary on Earth.

"Anything. Sometimes I've been successful in generating homunculus"

(Also, you've come up with a name that's going to hawk the heart of an alchemist)

Homunculus is an artificial human dwarf that is made by alchemists in distilled bottles.

"Has anyone seen that?"

If there's such a thing, I'd like to see it, Farma thinks.

"No, because it takes more than forty weeks to generate homunculus. Looks like you're exhibiting something you've already done. Probably making people's fetal corpses seem to move in glass containers to spectacle, and taking that spectacle fee."

The spectators don't realize they're dealing with fraud, Pierre says.

"That's vicious... it's not a complete fraud. What's the purpose? It's called the Stone of the Wise, it's called the Homunculus, you'll find out soon enough."

Take off your glasses like Ellen is lamentable.

"By and large, life doesn't grow in glass bottles. Farma, you think so too, don't you?

Ellen asks me for my consent, and Farma is in trouble.

"Theoretically, it's not impossible."

"Also, say something you don't quite understand..."

(Fertilized eggs grow in vitro up to the blastocyst, and if you're talking about reproductive engineering, it's longer.)

Rather, it was Pharma's specialty around there, but I kept my mouth shut because it would make the conversation easier. It was also theoretically possible to grow fetuses in vitro even without a placenta until the blastocyst, and research and development was under way on the planet.

"The alchemist gathers together the alchemists of the Imperial capital for a weekly rally, it seems. About 10% of pharmacists are also alchemists, so the pharmacists are also tipping. Yeah, speaking of which, I was an alchemist, too."

Pierre said he had an alchemist's badge.

"What are you doing at that rally?

"That seems to demonstrate and show how to use Sage's Stone to succeed in alchemy. And then you think I'm gonna show you Homunculus? You're selling that mystery so expensive that pharmacists and alchemists go bankrupt."

"I wonder if anyone else has succeeded in selling that technology. If there are a lot of people who fail, you're going to notice."

Ellen frowned frigidly.

"You think that's what makes you successful?"

"Isn't that a setup?

Ellen suspects that the successful player could be Sakura.

"Do you know where that rally is?

Pharma is interested that the Hundred News is only at first sight.

"Yes, the research is on, but only alchemists and their disciples can attend the rally"

"Well, why don't you decide I'm Pierre the Alchemist's apprentice and come with me?

"Isn't it dangerous? Farma's name is known all over the Empire, perhaps, and so are you."

"You just have to disguise yourself."

Farma said without incident.

"Farma, I'm worried about you and Mr. Pierre. I'll follow you, too."

"Master Eleonor's name is also known throughout the capital."

"Really?

Ellen was unaware of Bruno's position as the court pharmacist's best disciple.

"So why don't I dress up as a man and Farma you dress up as a woman? Then you won't find out."

Ellen is a Norrinoli. Usually, I just want to try a masculine cosplay with that recoil, just because I'm required to stand around as a countess.

"You don't have to do that, do you normally have to put a hood on and mask it?

I wanted Farma to give me a break for not having a women's clothing hobby.

"If you want to do it, I want to do it perfectly, man! Farma, you're a woman!

"Ellen can do whatever she wants. I'm definitely not wearing women's clothes!

Farma and Ellen thus decided to infiltrate a suspicious alchemist's rally with Pierre.

"By the way, what do you do when you infiltrate?

Pierre asks.

"If you expose an alchemy tease, you can banish it from that industry, right? I'll reveal it."

"At least if you give proof that you're a fraud, you won't be able to do business. But the size of the alchemist's rally is getting bigger and bigger, so I guess there's still something enough to believe. Using mercury and sulfur, I hear you synthesized gold, does Pharma have a chance?

"Mercury suits you."

"What do you mean?

Ellen doubted her ears. Cedric and other part-time pharmacists who sperm in administrative work are also listening.

"Alchemy, or the synthesis of gold, is possible. Even so, gold is an atom, so it cannot be a compound. Mercury, that is, irradiating the atoms of atom number 80 with gamma rays, collapsing the nucleus and stripping the protons, will eventually become the gold of atom number 79."

"Huh?!

"Ha!? So you're saying that alchemy isn't impossible?

Ellen and Pierre stood up from the chair and shouted out loud. Ellen caught Pharma gently dropping the glasses she had and about to step on them.

"I'll drop it again already! Don't drop your glasses."

I suspect you no longer promised too much and are doing it deliberately. Farma thought it would be better to make her plastic glasses so Ellen wouldn't crack them.

Lotte and Pierre's daughter, who were having a tea party, came down from the third floor because they shouted.

"What's wrong?

"Oh, it's nothing. Keep the tea party going."

Pharma waves at both of them. Lotte shyly wiped the cake powder around her mouth and went back to the third floor.

"Calm down, both of you. But technology in this world doesn't make it. It takes a lot of energy."

I can't synthesize gold, but I don't have a few gold atoms that I can do in one reaction, and if I want to synthesize about a spoonful of gold with modern Earth science and technology, it takes a huge amount of power, time and budget that is so unrealistic.

"That's right, I'm surprised. Farma, I thought you said you could synthesize gold with divine power."

Ellen, uh, sat down calmly. And put your glasses back on.

"I can't use my divine power to do something about mercury, but I'm probably running out of energy."

"Ha, if you could do that, you'd make a lot of money, I'd like you to share that secret."

Pierre jokes and laughs lavishly.

"Ha... there's no way I can do that"

Pharma laughs after joining Pierre, sweating cold.

Because I remembered something.

(Oh, no, I could have synthesized gold using material creation)

Pharma, able to create all matter with the ability of the left hand, was able to synthesize not only gold, but of course metals, jewellery, etc., but because it has luxurious capital solely for the benefit of a different world pharmacy, I did not immediately have to run to gold measures or think about it.

(... I guess I'm an alchemist, too)

Pharma was, in a way, no more than one true alchemist in this world.

"No, you're looking forward to it, Alchemy. I wonder how we're going to make alchemy?

Pharma smiles invincibly.

"You look like a worse alchemist, Farma."

But with that look on his face, Ellen was tempted to get a bad alchemist into his hands.
