[00:15] Farma
    Hmm...
[00:17] Farma
    It's been a month since we opened...
[00:19] Farma
    but things aren't really going how I'd hoped.
[00:22] Elen
    It's unavoidable.
[00:23] Elen
    It's always hard in the beginning.
[00:25] Farma
    Elen...
[00:27] Elen
    Commoners normally go to the longstanding
    shops of commoner pharmaceutists,
[00:31] Elen
    whereas nobles simply call
    a physician or pharmaceutist
[00:34] Elen
    to their estate if they need one.
[00:42] Farma
    A pharmacy for everyone...
[00:45] Farma
    The road ahead is a long one.

[02:20] Elen
    Even in the empire, there are
    few Royal Pharmaceutists.
[02:23] Elen
    On top of that, you're the
    second son of an archduke.
[02:27] Elen
    It's no wonder commoners
    would feel trepidation.
[02:30] Farma
    Hmm...
[02:31] Cédric
    I wonder what we could do to
    increase traffic to the store?
[02:35] Farma
    Patients in the greatest need are
    the ones I most want to come.
[02:39] Farma
    They're the ones with the
    least access to medicine.
[02:45] Lotte
    Um, Master Farma!
[02:49] Lotte
    Regarding that matter, I conducted
    a survey of the townsfolk!
[02:53] Farma
    A survey?
[02:55] Elen
    When did you even...
[02:59] Lotte
    I frequently chat with people in the city!
[03:02] Lotte
    Ahem. Let me announce the results!
[03:05] Lotte
    "A Survey of 100 Imperial City Residents:
[03:07] Lotte
    Feelings About Parallel World Pharmacy
    (Multiple Responses Allowed)"!
[03:13] Lotte
    Starting with the most frequent response:
[03:17] Lotte
    "The imperial seal outside scares me."
[03:19] Farma
    Oh. It scares people?
[03:23] Lotte
    Next, we have:
[03:24] Lotte
    "I don't know the etiquette
    for talking to a noble.
[03:27] Lotte
    I might slight them and be punished."
[03:32] Lotte
    "I don't have the appropriate clothing
    to enter a noble's shop."
[03:35] Farma
    But I don't care what anyone wears here.
[03:37] Lotte
    "The knights outside are intimidating."
[03:40] Farma
    That's understandable, but if they were
    all smiley, they wouldn't be guards...
[03:44] Lotte
    "The proprietor is a child."
[03:47] Farma
    Well, there's nothing I can say to that.
[03:52] Elen
    We have issues at a pretty fundamental level.
[03:55] Cédric
    It's a shame. People don't know
    anything about the medicines.
[04:00] Lotte
    There were also responses like this:
[04:03] Lotte
    "They say prices are 'negotiable.'
[04:06] Lotte
    I'm scared to find out how
    crazy expensive that is."
[04:08] Elen
    But it's not expensive!
    The prices are crazy fair!
[04:12] Farma
    Oh, I see. I put "negotiable" with the
    intention of helping patients afford it,
[04:17] Farma
    but it was received the other way around.
[04:20] Cédric
    It seems we should specify
    concrete prices and exam fees,
[04:24] Cédric
    and display them in front of the store.
[04:27] Farma
    Let's do that!
[04:28] Elen
    Lotte, was there anything else?
[04:30] Lotte
    "I can't read, so I don't really
    understand the signs out front."
[04:35] Farma
    Of course. The literacy rate...
[04:39] Cédric
    Let's brainstorm to see
    what else we can improve.
[04:43] Farma
    Great! I see some hope for us now!
[04:51] Farma
    Welcome!
[04:53] Jean
    Hey there, Mr. Proprietor.
[04:56] Farma
    Mr. Jean!
[04:57] Jean
    I'll take three of those candies for sailors.
[05:00] Farma
    Certainly! Thank you
    for all of your business!
[05:05] Jean
    I'll grab myself some water.
[05:11] Elen
    That old man came back again.
[05:13] Lotte
    Yes! He's the pharmacy's
    first regular customer!
[05:17] Elen
    I wonder when we'll get our
    second and third regulars...
[05:23] Jean
    Young man, the water you
    make is really great!
[05:26] Farma
    Mr. Jean, are you out at sea often?
[05:29] Jean
    Huh? Me?
[05:31] Farma
    Yes. In order to prevent scurvy,
[05:35] Farma
    the "Sailor's Candy" contains
    something called vitamin C,
[05:38] Farma
    which sailors tend to need.
[05:40] Jean
    Well, you see...
[05:42] Jean
    Oops! Someone's waiting
    for me. I'd better go.
[05:46] Farma
    Please come again!
[06:00] Béatrice
    My, oh my! What a lovely store!
[06:05] Béatrice
    Hello. Are you the proprietor of this store?
[06:09] Farma
    M-Mother?
[06:12] Farma
    And... Father?
[06:18] Béatrice
    Oh, dear. You recognized us,
    even though we came in disguise.
[06:23] Farma
    Those were meant to be disguises?
[06:26] Farma
    Mother, you could have simply
    told me you were coming.
[06:30] Béatrice
    We were only going to sneak a peek and
    leave. We didn't want to interrupt business.
[06:35] Farma
    They were trying to be sneaky?
[06:38] Bruno
    Proprietor.
[06:39] Farma
    Y-Yes, sir?
[06:41] Bruno
    Might we take a look around?
[06:44] Farma
    Allow me to give you a tour.
[06:50] Farma
    As you can see,
[06:52] Farma
    the first floor is the main store area.
[06:55] Farma
    It has a merchandise area,
[06:57] Farma
    a compounding lab,
[06:59] Farma
    and a waiting room.
[07:05] Farma
    The second floor is for medical
    care and patient rest.
[07:09] Farma
    There are four beds and an isolation room.
[07:13] Farma
    There is also a bathroom.
[07:15] Farma
    The third floor is a
    break area for the staff.
[07:19] Béatrice
    My, you even have a kitchen!
[07:23] Farma
    The fourth floor is a research lab.
[07:25] Farma
    It's purely a place for me
    to develop medicines.
[07:32] Bruno
    This is quite the fine store.
[07:38] Bruno
    So, what is your customer traffic like?
[07:42] Bruno
    You seem to have sporadic visits
    from nobles and merchants.
[07:45] Bruno
    But are commoners coming?
[07:48] Farma
    Well...
[07:51] Farma
    Figuring out how to make commoners
    feel welcome is our current challenge.
[07:57] Béatrice
    Here's an idea. Why not start by
    selling cosmetics to aristocrats?
[08:02] Farma
    Huh?
[08:02] Béatrice
    They'll become popular among aristocrats,
[08:04] Béatrice
    and if the prices are affordable,
    commoners will start using them, too.
[08:08] Farma
    Cosmetics, you say...
[08:11] Farma
    I did once participate in a joint R&D project
[08:14] Farma
    with a cosmetics company to test products
    and conduct safety evaluations.
[08:22] Farma
    That may be a brilliant idea.
[08:23] Farma
    What products would you suggest?
[08:26] Béatrice
    I personally would go for skin products.
[08:29] Béatrice
    Something long-lasting with a
    pleasant fragrance would be grand!
[08:32] Bruno
    Farma,
[08:34] Bruno
    if you deal in cosmetics, promise me:
    no white face powder.
[08:37] Farma
    Father...
[08:39] Béatrice
    There you go again. Because of your
    insistence on this, I don't use any myself!
[08:44] Bruno
    The more avidly that ladies use it,
    the earlier they tend to die.
[08:49] Bruno
    It runs counter to the path of medicine.
[08:51] Béatrice
    You're overthinking it!
[08:53] Farma
    Impressive as always.
[08:55] Farma
    He caught on to that through
    his own observations.
[08:58] Farma
    White powder makeups used to contain
    substances with harmful heavy metals
[09:02] Farma
    like white lead and mercurous chloride.
[09:06] Farma
    The heavy metals could even be absorbed
    by getting the powder in your mouth,
[09:09] Farma
    so great care was needed in its use.
[09:11] Bruno
    It seems that lately,
    some ladies have even undergone
[09:14] Bruno
    repeated bloodletting to obtain pale skin.
[09:17] Béatrice
    You have someone remove excess blood.
    It seems to be becoming popular at salons.
[09:22] Bruno
    To injure yourself in pursuit of beauty
    gets things absolutely backwards.
[09:27] Bruno
    It's the height of foolishness.
[09:28] Béatrice
    But I do understand the impulse.
[09:31] Bruno
    You have no need to resort to such things.
[09:34] Bruno
    You're already perfectly beautiful.
[09:36] Béatrice
    My!
[09:38] Béatrice
    Darling...
[09:40] Béatrice
    Oh, goodness. You find me
    "perfectly beautiful"...
[09:42] Bruno
    Come, now. Not in front of our child.
[09:46] Farma
    Th-These two get along with ease...
[09:49] Chloé's Attendant
    Pardon me!
[09:51] Chloé's Attendant
    Is the pharmaceutist here?
[09:53] Chloé's Attendant
    The lady I serve has collapsed.
[09:56] Chloé's Attendant
    Might she be examined?
[09:58] Farma
    Mother, Father, I'm afraid I must go now.
[10:10] Chloé's Attendant
    The pharmaceutist has arrived! Make way!
[10:14] Maid/Female Attendant A
    Come this wa—
[10:14] Maid/Female Attendant A
    What? A child?
[10:18] Farma
    I am a Royal Pharmaceutist.
[10:19] Farma
    Excuse me.
[10:23] Maid/Female Attendant B
    Lady Chloé, the pharmaceutist has arrived.
[10:27] Chloé
    Thank you.
[10:29] Farma
    How are you feeling, Miss?
[10:32] Farma
    Her face is awfully pale.
[10:34] Farma
    Her ability to converse with attendants
    suggests no disturbance of consciousness.
[10:41] Farma
    No abnormalities in central nerves.
[10:43] Farma
    Circulatory and respiratory
    systems appear normal.
[10:46] Farma
    She has slight tachycardia and
    a slight fever, but no sepsis.
[10:50] Farma
    Better examine the surface level.
[10:53] Farma
    What's going on?
[10:54] Farma
    She has multiple cuts on her arm...
[10:57] Farma
    Vein incision marks?
[11:00] Farma
    Self-harm? No. Can't be.
[11:02] Farma
    The veins were too precisely targeted.
[11:05] Farma
    It's a procedure by someone
    with specialized knowledge.
[11:08] Farma
    Which means, these are from bloodletting!
[11:11] Farma
    You have no particular ailment.
[11:14] Farma
    However, bloodletting has
    caused you to feel unwell.
[11:19] Chloé
    What? But a doctor performed it!
[11:22] Farma
    You're undergoing bloodletting
    even though you aren't ill?
[11:26] Farma
    The repeated incisions have also caused
    the wounds to become infected.
[11:30] Farma
    I'll provide appropriate medicine,
    so please come to my pharmacy.
[11:37] Chloé
    Someone I had feelings for rejected me.
[11:43] Chloé
    He... He said he liked girls with pale skin,
[11:47] Chloé
    so I thought maybe he would
    like me if my skin were paler.
[11:51] Elen
    But your current complexion
    looks quite healthy.
[11:54] Chloé
    I want to have pale skin!
[11:57] Farma
    But bloodletting procedures will put your
    life at risk if you undergo them too often.
[12:03] Lotte
    Who is this young lady?
[12:05] Cédric
    I believe she is the daughter of the Marquis
    de Châtillon, a prominent entrepreneur.
[12:13] Farma
    Here is a syrup to remedy your anemia
    and a medicine for infection.
[12:18] Farma
    Take them three times a day:
    morning, noon, and evening.
[12:20] Farma
    And also,
[12:22] Farma
    please stop using white powder.
[12:25] Farma
    Such makeup may shorten your life.
[12:29] Chloé
    I can't stop! I need it!
[12:31] Chloé
    I want to be desirable to
    the gentleman I yearn for!
[12:37] Lotte
    Master Farma, is there
    something you can do for her?
[12:43] Farma
    A safe foundation that also
    contributes to a pale appearance...
[12:47] Farma
    I understand.
[12:48] Farma
    Lady Chloé, please return
    to the pharmacy in a week.
[12:54] Farma
    I shall prepare suitable cosmetics for you.
[13:01] Elen
    Farma, I have to ask.
[13:03] Elen
    What in the world did you do to your face?
[13:05] Farma
    Well? Is my skin pale?
[13:07] Elen
    I'd say white itself pales in comparison!
[13:10] Cédric
    I must say, it is a surprising
    level of whiteness.
[13:13] Lotte
    Master Farma, it's lovely!
[13:15] Farma
    It's a prototype for Chloé. I figured
    I ought to test it on myself first.
[13:20] Elen
    But the master said
    overly white makeup was bad.
[13:25] Elen
    Is it okay for it to be this white?
[13:27] Farma
    No need for concern.
[13:31] Farma
    This doesn't use any lead
    or mercury compounds.
[13:35] Farma
    It's made of safe ingredients
    that are easy on the skin.
[13:38] Elen
    What's wrong with lead and mercury?
[13:41] Elen
    Everyone uses them for face makeup.
[13:44] Farma
    They're toxic.
[13:46] Elen
    What?!
[13:49] Farma
    When too much is absorbed into the body,
    it can cause damage to the nerves or kidneys.
[13:54] Elen
    B-But then, shouldn't cosmetics
    with those ingredients be banned?
[14:00] Farma
    That's true. I intend to bring that up
    the next time I see Her Majesty.
[14:03] Lotte
    Amazing, Master Farma! You're even
    informed about ladies' cosmetics!
[14:15] Chloé
    Good day, good pharmaceutist.
[14:17] Chloé
    Are the cosmetics ready?
[14:20] Farma
    Welcome.
[14:22] Chloé
    Yes, I have them ready as promised.
[14:26] Farma
    Let's begin with the face wash
    and moisturizer.
[14:29] Farma
    After that is finished,
    please apply this product.
[14:33] Chloé
    That's the makeup? It's not powder.
[14:36] Farma
    Indeed. To make it more suitable for use
    on the face, I chose to make it a cream.
[14:41] Farma
    It also helps prevent sunburn and suntan.
[14:46] Chloé
    It does? That's possible?
[14:50] Farma
    The titanium oxide that I used in this
    CC cream reflects ultraviolet rays.
[14:56] Farma
    "Ultraviolet rays" refers to sunlight
    that falls outside the visible range
[15:00] Chloé
    I-I don't really understand...
[15:00] Farma
    of wavelengths of light and has a
    shorter wavelength than those—
[15:05] Farma
    Basically, it blocks sunlight.
[15:09] Farma
    Lady Chloé, you appear to tan easily,
[15:13] Farma
    so if you can prevent that, you should
    be able to maintain paler skin.
[15:17] Chloé
    Goodness...
[15:19] Elen
    And the finishing touch is this loose powder!
[15:23] Elen
    You just softly brush some on.
[15:27] Maid/Female Attendant B
    It's like you're sparkling!
[15:29] Farma
    It's sericite.
[15:31] Farma
    Since you desire a "snow-white" aesthetic,
[15:34] Farma
    I made a finishing powder that gives
    the sparkling feeling of fresh snow
[15:38] Farma
    in the morning sun.
[15:40] Chloé
    Incredible...
[15:41] Chloé
    It doesn't look flat.
[15:43] Chloé
    This is completely different from
    the products I've used before.
[15:46] Farma
    Is it to your liking?
[15:49] Farma
    At the end of the day,
    please use this makeup remover.
[15:52] Farma
    It contains ingredients that help the skin.
[15:55] Farma
    If you continue this care routine,
[15:56] Farma
    you can have the skin you want
    without white face powder.
[16:00] Chloé
    This is wonderful.
[16:04] Chloé
    Thank you.
[16:05] Chloé
    This is ever so much
    better than bloodletting.
[16:16] Lotte
    We're offering samples of
    our new cosmetic products!
[16:20] Lotte
    They're very well regarded in high society!
[16:22] Lotte
    Safe skincare that makes your skin beautiful!
[16:25] Lotte
    Prices are currently extremely affordable!
[16:28] Lady 1
    Cosmetics that the nobles use?!
[16:29] Lady 2
    Wow, this is affordable!
[16:32] Lady 3
    I'll take a set!
[16:33] Lotte
    Wonderful!
[16:34] Lotte
    Thank you very much!
[16:36] Old Lady
    Can an old lady like me use them?
[16:39] Lotte
    Yes, of course! The motto for these
    products is "beauty for everyone."
[16:44] Lotte
    Please, come inside, if you'd like.
[16:46] Old Lady
    Well... The thing is, I can't read, so...
[16:50] Lotte
    That's all right!
[16:51] Lotte
    We also have guides that
    are easy to understand!
[16:53] Lotte
    Please, feel free to come in!
[16:59] Lady 4
    A cosmetic set for me as well, please!
[17:02] Elen
    Certainly!
[17:06] Lady 5
    Even though it's a noble's shop,
    most of their prices are unbeatable!
[17:09] Lady 6
    They're my new regular pharmacy!
[17:12] Gentleman 1
    I went ahead and tried a health
    consultation, and it was great!
[17:16] Gentleman 2
    I see. Perhaps I'll get examined as well.
[17:22] Jean
    Business seems to be booming lately.
[17:25] Farma
    Yes. I'm grateful...
[17:27] Jean
    That's a complicated look
    you've got on your face.
[17:29] Farma
    Ah, well, I'm happy about it,
    of course, but...
[17:33] Chloé
    What? The cosmetics are sold out again?!
[17:38] Farma
    Lady Chloé!
[17:40] Chloé
    They were sold out the other day, too.
[17:42] Chloé
    How disappointing.
    And I brought friends to show them.
[17:46] Farma
    My apologies, Lady Chloé.
[17:47] Farma
    The truth is, production can't
    keep up with the sudden demand...
[17:55] Farma
    Additionally, there are so many customers
[17:57] Farma
    that my current staff
    can't deal with all of them.
[18:01] Chloé
    I see...
[18:05] Chloé
    I know! Why not create an independent
    subsidiary company for cosmetics?
[18:10] Farma
    A subsidiary?
[18:12] Chloé
    Yes. I'll finance it.
[18:14] Chloé
    And I'll employ pharmaceutists
    to work in-house.
[18:17] Chloé
    You would of course be the
    proprietor, Lord Farma.
[18:20] Chloé
    How does that sound?
[18:23] Cédric
    There should be nothing to worry
    about with the de Châtillon family
[18:27] Cédric
    as a business partner.
[18:32] Cédric
    As for the necessary paperwork,
    I can take care of it.
[18:39] Farma
    All right, Lady Chloé.
    I'll take you up on that offer.
[18:50] Chloé
    What do you think, Lord Farma?
[18:52] Chloé
    Parallel World Pharmacy, store two:
    the cosmetic brand "Médique."
[18:57] Farma
    You made this happen so quickly.
[19:00] Farma
    And what about the staff?
[19:02] Chloé
    Just as you specified,
[19:04] Chloé
    I gathered first-rate pharmaceutists
    with excellent medical knowledge
[19:07] Chloé
    and work experience.
[19:10] Farma
    I'm impressed you were able
    to gather such talent.
[19:13] Chloé
    I reached out to pharmaceutists whose
    contracts were ended due to childbirth.
[19:18] Female Pharmaceutist
    Female pharmaceutists can't get
    contracts again after leaving a job.
[19:24] Female Pharmaceutist
    It's a privilege to be
    able to work again here.
[19:28] Farma
    Lady Chloé, what a wonderful idea!
[19:31] Farma
    Please institute maternity and family leave
[19:33] Farma
    so that these ladies can work
    for as long as they need!
[19:43] Lotte
    Allow me to announce the results
    of the most recent survey!
[19:50] Lotte
    "The medicine is cheap and effective."
[19:54] Lady 6
    "I have a new regular pharmacy."
[19:57] Lady 6
    "The water is great."
    "The cosmetics are wonderful, too."
[20:02] Lotte
    "I've changed my opinion
    of the child proprietor."
[20:07] Elen
    You did it, Farma!
[20:09] Cédric
    Now the pharmacy is on the right track.
[20:12] Farma
    It's thanks to all of you!
    Let's keep working to improve the store!
[20:16] All Four
    Yeah!
[21:52] Élisabeth II
    So this is the makeup that
    the city is abuzz about.
[21:57] Farma
    Yes, Your Majesty. It's filled with
    beauty-enhancing ingredients.
[22:01] Élisabeth II
    Farma, from now on,
    bring new products to me first.
[22:07] Farma
    Ah, yes, Your Majesty!
    I beg your pardon!
[22:12] Farma
    However, I do have a completely
    new product here for you.
[22:17] Farma
    I wanted Your Majesty to be the first one
    to try this medicinal lip gloss.
[22:28] Élisabeth II
    How does it shine so?
[22:30] Élisabeth II
    It's incredible! My lips look luscious!
[22:39] Farma
    By the way, Your Majesty.
[22:40] Farma
    I would like to thank you for
    promulgating that emergency edict.
[22:45] Élisabeth II
    Yes. To think those substances were
    toxic and shortened people's lives.
[22:50] Élisabeth II
    However, I hear that the businesses
[22:53] Élisabeth II
    that dealt in those products
    are on the verge of collapse.
[22:58] Élisabeth II
    It would not do to cause a state
    of oligopoly with your store.
[23:02] Farma
    Indeed. Regarding that issue,
[23:05] Farma
    I will turn over some production
    techniques to Your Majesty.
[23:08] Farma
    I would like the state to
    disclose them to the public.
[23:12] Élisabeth II
    Well spoken.
[23:14] Élisabeth II
    In addition, raise the prices
    of the products in your store.
[23:20] Élisabeth II
    If fine goods are sold too cheaply,
    it will kill the other merchants.
[23:24] Élisabeth II
    Wealthy individuals—
[23:25] Élisabeth II
    especially nobles—
[23:27] Élisabeth II
    ought not trample upon
    the commoners' commerce.
[23:30] Farma
    Your Majesty...
[23:32] Farma
    Yes, as you command!
