Parallel World Pharmacy (2022) s01e02 Episode Script

1
Huh? Ms. Eléonore did?
Yes. She says she has a high
fever and can't tutor you
and that she'd like to quit entirely.
Do you have any idea why?
Uh
You have no shadow!
N-No. Maybe the fever has her feeling down?
Good grief.
Guiding apprentices is part
of a pharmacian's training.
What's gotten into her?
Farma.
Yes, sir?
Deliver this potion and this letter to her.
Y-Yes, Father.
Judging by the recipe Bruno told me,
this potion will have no more
effect than a nutrient drink.
If she really has a fever
Acetaminophen. As needed.
Take for fever or pain.
Wait four to six hours between doses.
Parallel World Pharmacy
Episode 2
Master and Apprentice
For what purpose do you deign
to visit my humble home?
E-E-Elen?!
Have you come to eliminate me
for knowing your secret?
That is why, is it not?!
It's nothing like that,
so please calm down!
Look! I didn't bring a wand or anything!
In that case
why are you here?
My father sent me.
Since you said you have a fever,
he asked me to bring you this potion.
Master made that for me?
He went to that trouble when I
can make fever medicine myself?
O-Oh, gods!
Is it poisoned?!
No! Don't be silly!
Also, these are from me.
A different type of fever
medicine to Father's,
and a salve for your jammed finger,
as well as some usage instructions.
O-Oh, gods!
Are they poisoned?!
For the second time, no!
I have no intention of harming you, Elen.
The truth is, I also want you
to keep being my tutor.
But why?
You have no need for instruction
in Divine Arts or pharmacology.
You are an incarnation of
the Panactheos, after all!
As far as I know,
I'm human, not a god
If that is your wish,
then it is my command.
I swear, nothing and no one
can pry your secret from my lips,
including your father and your family!
And so, I beg of you,
please spare my wretched life!
I really don't have a clue how to
use Divine Arts. That's the truth.
Listen, Elen,
I need you in my life.
Huh?
What do you
Ah, I mean, like, I need your knowledge.
Oh, that's how you meant it.
It looks like knowledge of Divine
Arts is passed down orally.
The de Médicis library
has no materials on it.
I have no way to learn it on my own.
I don't know how to control my abilities.
And so I want you to treat me
as you always have.
Don't treat me like a superior.
But if if your mind is made up,
and I can't change it
then please take these as thanks
for all you did as my tutor.
Thanks for everything, Elen.
What?
I won't disturb you any longer.
Sorry for scaring you.
I hope you can get some rest.
Take care of yourself.
Do I take this?
I've never even seen a medicine
in powdered form like this.
What am I thinking?
The Panactheos is a benevolent
Guardian Deity at heart.
There are no stories of
the god harming humans.
Cerulean flowers. My favorite
Here goes nothing!
Good morning, Panactheos!
Elen!
Do you feel better now?
I see you're still heavily fortified, though.
It's a precaution, just in case.
If I'm going to help the Panactheos train,
it's only prudent to have some protection!
So then you'll
Of course, Panactheos—excuse me,
Farma. I'll keep tutoring you.
Thank you, Elen!
No need to thank me.
If you were to lose control of your
Divine Arts due to my lack of instruction,
you could level the entire imperial city!
No need to exaggerate.
Do you really think I'm exaggerating?
Besides, I'm the one who
should be thanking you.
That salve and that bitter powder
seem to have worked marvelously!
I'm glad to hear that.
Not even Master's medicine works so quickly.
Thank you.
Don't mention it.
And I loved the flowers.
Now then, next stop:
an uninhabited island!
Uninhabited island?
As I said, we're taking precautions!
Good grief! Now I'm totally covered in sand!
Ugh, sorry
You'll eventually gain control of your Arts.
I guess we'll just have to keep practicing!
Why, hello, Young Master!
I hope you're well, Madeleine.
Reflux esophagitis.
Fine weather today, eh, sir?
You've certainly got pep
in your step, Alfred.
Stye.
The master will be delayed
in returning tonight.
Please inform the head chef.
Pharyngitis.
Yes, at once.
Chronic simple rhinitis.
Simon, sir. I have a financial
matter to discuss.
Gonarthrosis.
A non-invasive treatment might
be best for Cédric's knees.
When full recovery is possible,
the light disappears.
When it's not possible,
a dim glow remains
No fever or rash. No findings on fingers.
Swelling in both knees. Tenderness on inside.
Joint movement is deteriorating, but still smooth.
Gonarthrosis, both knees. (Confirmed via Diagnostic Eye)
Pain observed. Having effect on daily life.
Should avoid heavy lifting as much as possible.
Confirmed presence of kidney damage. Prescribe NSAIDs.
should be considered.
In this world, my existence is "heresy."
If my lack of shadow and my special
abilities are discovered,
in the worst case, I might
be arrested and executed.
To prevent that, I need to make myself
indispensable—at least to the people here.
Rhagadiform eczema.
That's a pharmacian's mansion for you!
All the classic tools for
compounding medicine are here!
First, I'll make a moisturizing
heparinoid cream for Lotte.
I'll synthesize the base
ingredients in turn.
Glycerol!
Great! It worked!
As long as I know the
substance's composition,
I can create both solids and liquids,
and even viscous substances.
For the emulsifier and surfactant,
I'll use glycerol monostearate.
After producing heparin, I'll depolymerize
it to obtain the main heparinoid medicine.
The oil phase will be an oleaginous
base with squalene and cetyl alcohol.
Then I take the oil phase and
the water phase with the base
and ingredients mixed in and
warm them both with water,
gradually add the water
phase to the oil phase
with the emulsifier added, and stir quickly.
To finish, essential oils for fragrance
and then safe preservatives
and stabilizers for shelf life.
Now I just combine until it's homogenous
Finished!
Huh? A gift for me?
Yup, because you're always
doing so much for me.
You said all the scrubbing you do
dries out your hands, right?
Put this cream on the dry spots.
Put this steroid salve on
the particularly bad spots.
Master Farma! Thank you
so much! I'm so happy!
Can I share this with my mom?
She has the same problem
Oh! And the other servants as well!
I'll make some for each of them after
examining their symptoms individually.
By the way,
I have gifts for everyone else as well.
Everyone was overjoyed to receive
your medicines, Master Farma!
Yeah. I never imagined Madeleine
would cry that much.
Or that you would, either.
Well, I mean
Yes?
We servants have never received
medicine from our masters before.
Of course we were touched.
You haven't?
Even though the servants
are practically family?
That's just how it is.
The master is a pharmacian
for high-class individuals.
Aristocratic pharmacians
don't examine commoners.
That is simply our station.
It doesn't seem right to select
patients based on social class.
Even if they did examine us,
the cost of the medicine is
out of reach for commoners.
A class-based society and
drug price problems
With the state of knowledge in this era,
I bet few medicines even work.
On top of that, without
the money for medicine,
the commoners have to turn
to superstitions and shams.
And mortality rates are high
If more effective medicines
were made more common
You had never examined me before,
either, Master Farma.
What? R-Really?
Really. Though, I'm sure that was partly
because the master prohibited it.
Ah.
It's true that it would be
dangerous for an apprentice
to treat people with half-baked knowledge.
But going forward, I want to make medicine
available to those who need it.
And that should also serve as
part of my pharmacian's training.
You're such a kind person!
I don't think I'm especially kind
With all you've done lately to treat
people regardless of social class,
I'm sure you'll make a great pharmacian!
I'll work as hard as I can
to make that come true.
Good morning!
Oh? Where's Blanche?
Mother?
Farma.
Blanche came down with chickenpox.
Chickenpox, also known as varicella,
is a contagious infectious disease caused by
infection with the varicella-zoster virus,
classified as human herpesvirus 3.
They have chickenpox in this world, too?
If it's the same as on Earth,
then a four-year-old should most
likely experience only mild illness.
Is the disease really so dangerous here?
Stay away from Blanche for three weeks,
or the disease may spread.
We have to leave the poor girl
alone for three entire weeks?
We'll have a small number of servants
care for her, just as we did with Farma.
Do you remember that, four years ago?
He's hinting that I can go see her
because of my immunity
But exercise caution.
Even after you've had chickenpox,
the disease can reoccur,
though that fact is not yet
recorded in medical texts.
Simon.
Yes, Master.
Even on Earth, it was thought until only
recently that immunity was lifelong.
He knows that reinfection
occurs in rare cases?
This man is incredible.
I've been summoned for
an emergency house call.
Be sure to exercise due caution.
Yes, Father.
When it comes to chickenpox medications
that are appropriate for children,
my options are acyclovir and valacyclovir.
Since I'm making it myself, acyclovir, with
its less complex molecule, seems better.
In short
2-amino-9-[(2-hydroxyethoxy)methyl]-
1,9-dihydro-6H-purin-6-one.
Create acyclovir!
Blanche, are you awake?
Brother?
How do you feel?
I feel yucky.
I have all these bumpies, and I'm itchy.
She has the characteristic red rash.
Chickenpox. Human herpesvirus 3 infection.
Brother, Father will be upset
that you came to my room.
That's why I snuck in to
see you. It's a secret.
A secret
Blanche, I have medicine for you.
I don't wanna! It's bitter and yucky!
Let's put the bitter medicine in a macaron!
Is it okay to do that?
It is with this medicine.
For some medicines it's bad,
so always ask me first.
Okay!
Make sure you drink lots of
water after you eat this.
Hey, Brother?
What is it?
Father said there was no
medicine for what I have.
Uh I found it in a new book!
One of Father's books?
But Father doesn't know about it?
F-Father is very busy, so maybe he
hasn't had time to read it yet!
So this will be our little
secret, too. Okay?
Okey-dokey!
It's itchy!
Ah, don't scratch!
If the blisters break open,
the virus will get out.
Vi-rus?
In this world, there's no concept
of viruses or bacteria
Brother, teach me! Teach me!
What's a vi-rus?
It's sorta like an evil spirit
that's too small to see.
A ghost?
I'm scared!
Don't worry.
After we apply this azulene ointment,
I'll stay with you for a while.
Brother, you're different.
What?
Is something different than before?
Wh-What makes you say that?
I mean, you never used to
play with me like this.
And you never fed me like this either.
Brother, you got really, really nice!
Is the way I am now weird?
Umm, I dunno.
But,
I wuv this Brother, too!
Bro-bro, I wuv you!
Brother, is something in
your eyesies? Are you okay?
How is your appetite? Any pain?
No ouchies! I'm hungy!
Hmm. Your recovery seems awfully quick.
Well, you see, Father
It's a secret!
I gotta say, it seems like I'm abnormal, even
by the standards of a parallel world situation.
I have Substance Creation and Elimination,
my left hand lets me see medical problems,
and my right even lets me magnify things
And I have no shadow.
Is it because I've died once already?
These powers are too great.
Can I really keep using them
at no cost to myself?
What's going to happen to me?
I did it!
One Leeuwenhoek simple microscope!
Now I can observe things at high
resolution without using my right hand!
Even if viruses are too small,
I bet I could show Blanche bacteria.
Master Farma, pardon the interruption.
Come in.
The master wishes to see you.
Please come at once.
Ah, you're here, Farma.
Get ready to leave immediately.
We have an emergency house call
for Her Majesty the Empress.
