Parallel World Pharmacy

Chapter 4: 17: From Holy Springs to Origin

"Good day, Ellen. I think it was cold, so bathe and warm up."

By the time it was delivered from Hugo's castle to Ellen's mansion, it was late at night.

"Is Ellen's house curfew?"

Farma feels sorry for taking a woman around her age until late at night to do something wrong. Speaking of which, Pharma has never heard of Ellen's family situation in detail.

"There's no curfew because there's medical treatment and experiments for sleepovers. It's just that Sophie needs to wake up, so she has to go in without making a sound."

The Bonufois curfew seemed loose.

"Sophie's sensitive."

As for Sophie, whom I adopted at the Earl of Bonufois' house, when Ellen can't take care of herself, a dedicated nanny is there to take care of her.

"Farma, good day to you too. Rest tight... Knock it off!

I sneezed and snorted out of Ellen.

The season is April, not so cold, but it is Ellen, who by flying over the sky chilled out to the core of her body. Her glasses were bright white and cloudy.

"Farma, aren't you always cold when you fly? Thin."

"Yeah, I feel cold when it comes to cold, but nothing..."

Speaking of which, Farma was not concerned about the cold while flying.

Ellen's reaction to being too cold is normal.

"Don't catch a cold, good night"

Farma, unrelated to the cold, waved, leaving Ellen's mansion behind.

Turning Ellen down, the Pharma of the Doesn't Do, which has an entity, could fly so lightly.

The medicinal scepter with more crystal stones is in excellent condition. It even makes me feel like I'm empowering.

(It's full of things I don't understand... but let me get one thing straight by the end of the day)

It's time for the mansion to be quiet. The de Medicis family bedtime is early. I may be late, but I was telling Lotte not to worry. So Farma did not go straight back to the de Medicis family, but thought there was a holy spring and decided to go in the direction.

It's not easy to find it. There was that one.

I heard some tips from Lord Hugo about the Holy Springs.

Over the years, the ancient documents conveyed among alchemists were stringed together to gather reliable information, and furthermore the knowledge of Hugo, who was also familiar with divine art, had feet on the earth. Pharma peacefully borrowed a map marked by Hugo, based on the prediction that it might be the Holy Springs. I never threatened you.

Relying on the map and the direction indicated by the rays of stone slabs and treasures at the bottom of the underground cave in Teito, it has three locations that have been narrowed down.

One place is a place of many legends. But it was just a fountain of acid without a layer of crystalline stone.

The other place was a cloudy swamp in the mountains, with tons of human bones at the bottom, but it doesn't look like a holy spring.

Pharma finally came to that place, located in the middle of a chopped platform, furthest from the imperial capital.

The entire platform seems to be covered with clouds and hidden from the eyes of men.

There are no signs of organisms, only the sound of the wind sounds creepy and the word ghost tightens. It's too cliff to be reached by humans, so I can certainly nod.

As Pharma descended onto the platform, the thick layer of clouds that had covered and hidden the platform disappeared.

"Oh. It's easier to find.... Is that it?

What Pharma found was a tiny fountain to miss, like making the well a little bigger.

With the divine power of Pharma, or the bottom of the fountain shining and reflecting. There is a layer of crystalline stone.

"Is this the Holy Springs..."

And, Pharma peeks into the water.

It's not Lake Sulfuric Acid again.

It wasn't sulphuric acid or anything, it was just water. No fountain keeper's weird fish, either, like last time. That's why I was hesitant to go into the suspicious water.

"" Water Erase ""

So Pharma, like before, erases the water from the fountain.

When I gave up the bottom of the fountain while floating with the drug scepter, there was a thick layer of crystalline stone, just like that seen in the basement of the Empire.

At the bottom of the lake, I still saw the familiar tablet.

(There it is! What does it say?

Read the letters on the tablet.

[This is Holy Springs, directly behind the doors of the other world. Look at heaven]

In Pharma's legible language, only one word of it. Others are engraved in a language that Pharma doesn't know is hard and explanatory.

Approaching Pharma's lifetime official ID, known as the Great Treasure, the white light flooded from the tablet, and the light pointed to heaven in a straight line.

(Now where, where did you point!?

and Pharma looks up at the night sky with anticipation.

"Nothing..."

When I got back to the mansion fluttering with no harvest, it was morning.

Not good, we're going home in the morning.

"Welcome back, Master Farma"

Returning to the mansion as Pharma snuck in, he bowled in the front door with a well-groomed lotte, and a wake-up blanche.

(Wow...)

Between the three of us, an awkward air flows.

After a lot of awkward silence, it was Blanche who opened his mouth.

"Where have you been? I've been waiting, but it's too late. I promised to take a bath with you yesterday. No."

Blanche makes a sweet voice with her plush in both hands. I don't like how Farma didn't come back.

"You didn't promise that!?

Don't talk weird, Farma blushes as she cares about Lotte's gaze. That lotte is lotte,

"Was Master Pharma staying with Master Eleonor? Ah... nothing"

Lotte, who saw Ellen and Pharma go out the day before, realised that they had pryed too far and bowed in embarrassment.

"Well, sort of. I was out on Lord Hugo's territory."

While I thought I shouldn't worry about Lotte, Pharma kept the word cloudy, thinking that hiding everything would make me worry extra.

"Ah. Oh, right. I beg your pardon!

From Lotte's point of view, it looked like Farma and I were on a sleepover date.

I can't imagine what Lotte would do with your stay, but she was set to show off her intimacy with Ellen.

(Uh, wow, you're mistaken.)

At a delicate time when Pharma was white-eyed, Palais was also awake.

"Ooh, ooh, ooh. What's the matter, Farma? Are you going home in the morning too? I don't suppose something happened with Eleonor. Stop it, Eleonor or something."

Palais utters profound words. Ellen and Pallet are still friends of the dog monkeys.

"Nothing! There can't be!

"Why are you so desperate to deny it? That's extra suspicious...... hmm? You."

Palais, who was tearing up, seemed to have spotted a change in Pharma's divine power.

"You've changed the vibe a little bit."

In the basement of Hugo's castle, you cross the border when you deal with tons of crystalline stone memories.

"Really? It's my fault. Ellen and I broke up late at night, and then we were looking for something by ourselves."

Pharma honestly revealed herself without misunderstanding.

"What, in the middle of the night, was it that important?

Palle laughs bitterly.

"Did you find what you were looking for?

Lotte tilts her neck properly.

I couldn't find him.

Lotte grins and cheers when she sees Pharma looking disappointed.

"After it brightens up, look elsewhere that Master Pharma has looked for. I'll help you if you like. I'm good at looking."

Lotte had a stunt that quickly discovered what Blanche had lost. Lotte's words are convincing.

(well...... if you take the time off, you might see something different)

To Lotte's words, Farma regained her mind that it was too early to give up.

"Well, what, you don't really freak out and worry about your family, do you?

Palle speaks for the thoughts of Lotte and Blanche.

"Sorry."

Farma, who took it seriously, gets worse.

"I am glad that Master Farma is back safely"

Lotte turned a brighter smile to Pharma. Pharma is still healed today by that smile. You'd want Pharma to be a question-attack, but she accepts it in silence. Always is.

This is where I am.

I felt like they told me to stay here.

The next day, while the day was still high because Farma was on holiday, I revisited the Holy Springs. I also wanted to take Lotte, who said he'd look for me with him, but he doesn't reveal that Lotte can fly, so it startles me. Troubled quote, I came alone.

Fly about an hour after lunch and reach your destination.

The Holy Springs, visited after a day, are stretched with plenty of water again.

"Water builds up, it's unusually fast, water consumption..."

I call it water purge, and I remember Lotte's words. I reconsidered that if I were to try something different, I shouldn't have erased the water.

"Maybe I see a different view out of the water? There's a refraction of light."

When Pharma realized that it was so, she dived from her head to the bottom of the water, even though it would get wet.

Reaching the bottom of the fountain in agony, he lays his staff ID on a stone slab.

He then looked back to chase the light emitted by the tablet, staring at the blue sky that shifted from the bottom of the water.

On the water, I saw the different waves that Pharma had just made.

And - he saw it.

Something that reflected on the water surface of the fountain and was loose.

There was a door to the entrance to the lab at the university where he lived.

(What...?

Pharma doubts his eyes if it's a hallucination.

I could understand the meaning of the inscribed letters on the stone slab at the bottom of the fountain: "Behind the Doors of the Other World".

Pharma surfaces carefully and approaches the surface of the water.

(Holy crap...... you thank Lotte)

I couldn't see the surface of the fountain without straining the water.

Pharma put his hand in the water. But when Pharma reaches out and the surface of the water snags at all, the footage of the other world disappears.

(Damn, that's crazy. How do I...)

That's right. It's frozen, Farma thinks. He uses divinity with his bare hands and puts clear ice on the water. Next, with ice on the water, approach it from the back without breaking the ice.

If this happens, the water won't shake anymore. He fears, sticking his right hand into the surface of the ice. Across the ice, and to the other world, Pharma's hand passed.

(Out! Come to think of it, you can't get in unless you can use ice divinity...)

The coincidence of being able to use the divine art of water also seemed inevitable that had been prepared for this time.

I pulled the lever on the lab door with that hand, but it was frightening.

An electronic authentication device for security mounted on the door was activated.

(No way... this is for a time like this!

Farma left her staff ID at the door.

Vienna...... Gatin.

Electronic locks come off along with mechanical sounds and the lab door opens inside.

It was time for Pharma to stick her head in and enter beyond the door of the other world only halfway through her body.

When you finally get inside the lab, the door that went in so that you could return immediately remains open and bite the door stopper. Now you should be able to come and go.

"Am I... dreaming"

You can hear the clock carving a second hand inside the cackle, cackle, and lab.

And into Pharma's sight, a sight I didn't want to see jumped in.

A man in white slept on the couch in the corner of the lab, wrapped around a sleeping bag.

(There he is...)

Associate Professor of Pharmaceutical Sciences, T University Pharmaceutical Valley (Yakuza) is fully healed (Kanji), Pharma during his lifetime.

"Hey, me!

Pharma accidentally touched the man's shoulder, but the man doesn't notice Pharma. Striking hard doesn't scare you. Whether he messed with his eyelids or his cheeks to open his eyes, he didn't pinch the meat, and Farma couldn't touch or interfere with the man.

Pharma stares at the man in an unspeakable mood.

(Can't Pharma interfere with me...)

The man seems to be himself, but not himself.

Pharma sees a dated clock, which is on the Pharmacy Valley desk.

The date is the day that would have been his day of life.

3: 50 a.m.

Associate Professor Yamaya stays dormant in the lab and falls asleep in other worlds.

This man will never wake up again.

But he was still alive.

Pharma took the smartphone the man had on his desk and tried to see if he could get in touch with the outside world.

Radio waves are out of range even if they are abnormal. I don't even have access to Wi-Fi for the flying haz.

Neither landline nor ext in the lab is connected.

Although the PC works, the line is still broken.

Outside the window that looked blind, it's dark. At night, not. It was dark there.

I can't even see the city lights that have to be there.

(Are you from another world, this is...)

Pharma looked around inside the lab as she handed over her lifetime memories.

The indoors remain in exactly that time, just before you fall asleep at the end of the day.

Device in operation I miss the ultra-low temperature freezer motor sound in my ears. The supercentrifuge should be running for another four hours in a row. Many of the last large-scale genome analyzer workstations he set up are operational. Reagents placed on the experimental bench, stacked notes. A room surrounded by countless precision experimental equipment that will continue to move after the Lord's death.

Everything in the lab could have been swept away.

Even if this was a dream now. What can be done on this occasion? Pharma harvested oral mucosal cells and pretreated them and set them in an all-genomic information analyzer.

First, what you need to know is who you are.

Collect, data and reveal what this Pharma presence is about in modern science.

(Damn, it takes time for the data to come out. Is the door still connected?

He saw the entrance to the fountain with the door locked.

The door left Pharma open earlier, with no sign of closing.

He removed some reagents to be stirred up and a tube with a sample from the freezer and placed it in a styrofoam case. Next, when I thought about asking for a suicide note to people on the brink of this world,

"Uh-huh!

The drug valley lying on the couch began to breathe roughly and suffer.

I tried to use the diagnostic eye, but I couldn't use Pharma's abilities in this room.

Pharma is upset that this time has finally come.

(Should we help, what do we do!?

There are ways to help, even if you don't care about the eyes. You can administer adrenaline in the lab while CPR.

But Pharma couldn't have his CPR.

Pushing with all your weight won't snap your sternum. As I just tried, Pharma still can't interfere with the body of the drug valley. Neither the drug nor the needle passes through the skin. No further respite was granted to deal with it.

Pippi, pippi, pippi, pippi......

The alarm went off. It was during a late-night experiment that the lifetime drug valley was setting after 3: 42 a.m., or 4: 42 a.m., for a hypnotic sleep.

That rang loudly.

(4: 00... 42!

... Pharma's consciousness was sprung outside the lab door, as if it triggered it.

How long would it have taken to whiteout every sight?

If you notice, he was floating in the sacred fountain of the original world.

"Oh......"

The ice, which would have been stretched on the surface of the fountain, had been completely unraveled.

Did I wake up from a dream? Or is this world the world of dreams and Pharma still dreaming? He gets drunk.

I tried to connect my consciousness and sort out the situation.

Huh, I feel more dazzled by the sun than usual and put my hands in the sun.

At that time, I noticed that a styrofoam case with reagent taken from the lab was floating pukapuka on the water surface of the spring. I guess I've been gripping it for a while. Touch the case with an indelible hand.

"It's not a dream... you?"

Pharma woke up at once. And furthermore, I took a lot of breath watching my unconscious hands against the sun.

Is it the price of going back and forth to the other world, Pharma's hand was clearly more transparent than it had been before entering the Holy Springs?

"... this is..."

Pharma recalls the legend of the drug God heard from Salomon.

Of the previous generation of medicines God repeatedly entering and leaving the heavenly world from the Holy Springs, he said he stopped returning one day intact to the border.

(Did she..., lose more and more entities and disappear from this world?)

Becoming the Pharma of today, I know what happened to my predecessor's drug God.

"Where are we... what the hell is this world?"

To get that answer, Pharma stepped out of the fountain.

Placing the case of Styrofoam in a prominent place, he flew heavenly with a single medicinal scepter in his hand and ascended everywhere.

At a fierce speed, vertically, until we leave ourselves to the drug scepter and run out of air, until the sky eventually becomes the universe. Even ran up the sky to the distance it reached the universe.

The freezing cold strikes him, and the droplets on his body surface freeze, but his body doesn't freeze, and he can't even breathe as the oxygen gets thinner.

I exhaled my breath out of my lungs.

If you go any higher with the air stored, your lungs will burst. That's what I thought.

But Pharma thought of herself as ridiculous as a human being.

My self-defense instincts still work even though I'm not human anymore.

The living dead don't die, even though I know...

(I'll go to Heavenly Side and see the world!

Half hit eight. Half of them escape reality. I just didn't think about it and reached so far and high that I didn't think I could go back.

And for the first time, Pharma saw the earth from the space of that planet.

I knew it, but the blue planet he saw, it doesn't resemble Earth at all, it's a star that Pharma doesn't know. The shape of the ocean, the shape of the land, is not like that of the Earth, which was in his memory.

(What the heck, this...)

Facing the universe is also about facing the self.

In silence until horrible, all you can hear is the sound in your body.

Thousands of years, I felt uninterrupted loneliness, like tens of thousands of years old.

There are countless stars in the universe that you can see from there. But no matter how much you look, as far as you can see, there are no planets in the solar system. There are stars that resemble the Sun, even if there are moons, that seem similar and not at all like there are universes.

Extremely low temperatures, and fierce cosmic rays irritate him.

A star not the Sun was creating a shadow on the planet where Pharma was.

(Not Earth. It was a planet...... But then where am I?)

Farma is once again poked at the great mystery he has been putting behind.

I feel like I'm blocked in eight directions, and after a silent scream from the Alankari, I leave it to gravity to slowly go to earth to avoid being left on the planet's rotation.

Entering the atmosphere does not burn Pharma's body.

Even the atmosphere surrounding this planet felt rejected from existence.

Looking at the approaching ground, Pharma falls.

Now I had to go back.

To him now that he has become Pharma de Medicis, where he deserves to be.
