Parallel World Pharmacy

After strolling through the city and socializing with people, Palle went home with Blanche. Falma stayed behind and, having been away for a long time, was finally able to return to the Diversis Mundi Pharmacy.

Ive missed this place

The staff were taking their lunch break, so they went up to the second floor from the back door.

When Falma entered the room, the three people all looked up at once.

Ah, Falma-sama! Its been a while!

Lotte rushed over.

Im back! Here, I bought some delicious tea. Lets drink it together

When Falma handed the tea tin to Lotte, she was overjoyed and hugged it tightly.

Ill also go prepare some delicious sweets to go with the tea!

Welcome back, Falma-kun

Ellen appeared to be relieved as she stared at Falma.

Thank you for everything youve done, Ellen, Lotte, Cedric-san. Sorry I left all of this on you

Haa-, I was really lonely without you. Its strange how the child manager of a pharmacy is also the most important person here

As Ellen welcomed Falma back, she wiped her glasses. She seemed relieved.

While Falma was away, a part-time first-class pharmacist was able to formulate medicine but only Ellen could diagnose patients. As such, she was under constant pressure to ensure that diagnoses were accurate. After all, patients come to the pharmacy for medicine that works. Ellen didnt want to betray the patients trust or give the impression that all the pharmacists except for Falma were useless.

Ellen, youre a bit thin

I am thin! Ive had stomachaches everyday

It was caused by stress. Ive done something bad, thought Falma with regret.

Do you have any stomach medicine?

Its not that

I trusted you, Ellen. Thats why I could leave things to you

You overestimate what I can do, Falma-kun~

However, Ellen had worked with Falma on numerous cases and so with the exception of particularly difficult cases, she could diagnose the general points. Also, Falma gave her a diagnosis flowchart for diseases which she could rely on when taking care of patients.

Lotte-chan helped me a lot. Cedric-san helped me too

Falma-sama and Palle-sama have been working hard. Eleonor-sama has been trying her best as well

While Falma was gone, Lotte was responsible for liaising between Falma and Ellen and so she travelled back and forth from the mansion to the pharmacy.

Ok, everyone! The fruit galette is done! Lets have some of the high-quality tea that Falma-sama bought

Lotte had baked a crepe-like dessert called a galette and stuffed it with various fruits. She set the galette and a tea set in front of Falma and the others. She was getting better and better at her hobby of making sweets.

Its Falma-samas welcome back party! Ahhhh~ it smells good

Lotte pours some tea.

Thank you. Starting from today, Im going to be coming back to work

Although he would have preferred to be in the pharmacy, Falma was often away recently due to unavoidable circumstances.

In any case, Palle-kun everythings fine now, right?

Everything isnt fine yet, but Im not hovering between life and death anymore

Ellen was surprised by Palles choice of words.

Ehh? It was that serious? Didnt you say it wasnt that big of a deal?

I was at deaths door

When she found out that things were worse than she imagined, Ellen was flustered.

Jeez, Palle-kun, you dont need to act strong. I dont care about our rivalry if you dont get better

Ellen firmly voiced her thoughts.

So, whats Palle-kun doing at home then? Resting?

Ive been proofreading the textbooks Falmas written so far and fixing typos and other mistakes as well as finishing the incomplete parts

The textbooks that Falma wrote make extensive use of medical and pharmaceutical terminology from Earth, so Palle is replacing the foreign terms with words from this world.

Falma can more or less use this worlds language. However, because its a different language, there are some roundabout expressions, colloquialisms, and medical terms as well as uncommon sayings which didnt translate well. Those parts seemed off to Palle when he read them.

As such, Palle brushed it up and drafted a more academic, professional, and high-quality text. This was a huge help to Falma. Moreover, Palle read all of Falmas work and urged him to continue.

Eh? Did you say youre writing for Falma-kun? How does Palle-kun know how to write textbooks?

Ellen is shocked that Palle was able to learn pharmaceutical knowledge from Falma and use it to write textbooks.

Im writing the parts that Falma dictates. Thats how

The process wherein Falma teaches Palle the pharmaceutical knowledge, Palle writes it down, and Falma confirms that its accurate, was very efficient.

As for Falma, he could write almost everything except for colloquial expressions, but he was slow at it. Furthermore, Palle had learned about chemistry at Novaroot Academy, so if Falma teaches him the chemical formulas, hell understand them. As such, it was faster to explain new chapters to Palle and have him write it down.

Falmas work was significantly reduced while Palle happily exclaimed Fwahaha, this is groundbreaking knowledge! Also, Palle liked cutting the paper for the mimeograph.

The de Medicis pharmacist brothers really are amazing, are they not?

Lotte said in praise of the two.

including master-sama, and thats three people from the de Medicis family. As expected of a prestigious and noble family of pharmacists. Say, will those textbooks be used at universities?

Thats what I intend to do. I was also thinking about this while treating my brother. I think that for the newly established department of pharmacology, needle skills for things like taking blood samples and other treatments should be required courses as well. Its impossible to treat diseases like leukemia simply by taking medicine and leaving the rest up to fate

Arent doctors already doing what Falma-kun is describing?

Pharmacists are best suited to handling drugs. Of course, this wont improve coordination with doctors, so itll be necessary to train technicians and have all sorts of inspection departments

Falma wanted to not only educate the pharmacists, but also the doctors and technicians. If only the field of pharmacy improves but not the field of medicine, then itll be very frustrating.

Well theres a medical school in the imperial capital of San Fleuve, but its not very well known

Although Salerno Medical School is located in the imperial capital, its educational standards were low, and it wasnt very popular. After all, all the talented medical students attended the influential Novaroot Academy. Incidentally, the Imperial Medical School and Salerno Medical School were close to one another.

What if you ask your father to teach at the Department of Pharmacology? As the dean, that decision is up to you, right?

Said Ellen, bravely.

Pharmacists cant pierce or cut people with needles, right?

Its standard medical practice, but its not legal

I thought so!

Falma suddenly had an epiphany.

TN: In Japanese, he thought that fish scales would fall from his eyes. Its a reference to the New Testament, meaning that someone is suddenly able to see a situation clearly
