Kusuriya no Hitorigoto - Vol. 5 Ch. 24 - A Smoker's Pipe

[miyako19]

@Rift You do realize that this is not a romance manga right? Romance is just a sub-plot and MaoMao herself doesn't interest in it. I, myself, don't really like romance so this is fine with me.

 

[Official229]

@LowSanity ayy, it should. Fixed now.

 

[LowSanity]

@Official229 Thank you, now my OCD can go to sleep.

Remembers lectures on grain elevator explosions... Yeah, this checks out.

She’s slowly getting a harem

 

[Aureliano]

When will Mao Mao realize Jinshi is not an eunuch, that he bought her for himself and how will she react?


Edit, awful typo

 

[daywithoutgames]

page 1 : " you are the gardener of my flower garden / my pretty girls garden " . so jinshi 's gardener job is : "planting the seeds" , "watering" the flowers/girls , trimming the ugly flowers/girls .

page 12 : " it was a small fire , not really rare when you think of the season " . i guess this line contains a pun : the kanji for autumn season is 秋 = 禾 / rice plant + 火 / fire .

They don't know yet that if they see Maomao running, they should try to keep up. They'll learn.

@daywithoutgames

I believe it's not a pun.
I believe it's referring to how a fire accident is quite common in winter. most likely due to
-The usage of fire for warmth
-Since night is longer on winter (sometimes at 5 pm it's already dark) most people forced to use a candle in their work for illumination, thus increasing the chance of an accident.

if anyone know which partfrom LN this chapter adapted, please notify me.

 

[themanj]

now imagine that happening in a mine filled with coal dust

 

[Kusarin]

@kuma It's probably from the LN volume 2 ( I don't know which chapter because it's not being translated.)
However,the web novel is being translated and this part happens in Arc 2 chapter 3.

Hope I answered your question!

 

[Kampfarsch]

why would the guard dude just watch her do the thing
he doesnt know anything about her or her previous achievements

 

[Kaarme]

@Kampfarsch What guard dude? He's the (relatively) high ranking officer who gave the hairpin to Maomao and also saw her gleefully eat the poison. Afterwards she arranged him the chance to spend time with one of the top three girls. The poor chap still believes Maomao did him a great favour (when in fact he's just being sucked dry), so he's naturally inclined to respect her. Other than that, he tried to stop her a couple of times now, but finally got too interested in her knowledge and experiment.

[kuma]

@InkXin bruh.

 

[StickyTar]

why would he want her to keep putting freckles on? hmm, jealous maybe?

 

[Mibuichizoku]

@Inkxin @kuma That's the Webnovel. The manga is based on the Light Novel. There are significant differences.
