The Apothecary Diaries 10 (Hero Bunko) [Light Novel]

[Machine Translation] Neko Neko arrived safely in the western capital. Although the environment has changed, his work remains the same, working as an apothecary and as a medical officer's assistant. Wherever he goes, he is always surrounded by quacks, and a new medical officer, Tensyu, who does not know what he is thinking. Nekoneko spent her days in the western capital in fear that the two would find out about Imuji's burns. Imjin also spent his days performing political duties as the younger brother of the emperor, but the western capital treated him as a powerful man in name only. Under such circumstances, Nekoneko went to a farming village with his brother Luo Han, who had been brought there to inspect the rural areas. In making the inspection, they notice that Luo Han's former subordinate, Lu Sun, is on the move. He had questions about the way things were done in the rural areas, which were different from those in the center. Meanwhile, they meet an old man who is a survivor of a locust infestation that once occurred.
